Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* If you knew nothing else about the dire mental condition of the President Of The United States, the bare, horrid facts told by tonight's meme reveal enough about the psychopathic nature of the mind of Donald J. Trump and his supporting death cult of politicians, judges, propagandists, and voters. The meme goes a long way in providing a context of explanation as to why Trump dragged his feet in addressing the danger of the coronavirus for two months. Two months! Two months of giving a deadly virus a head start! Who else would do that but a homicidal psychopath? Who else w... more »
More Evidence That The Priorities In Washington Are Misplaced

Australia Cannot Afford To Neglect Southeast Asia In The Age Of Coronavirus
*John McCarthy* *Security, Asia* The stability of Southeast Asia, and particularly Indonesia, is a paramount Australian national interest. The Australian government is properly focused on managing the domestic effects of Covid-19. But we must also think about a changing external environment. Middle powers are not generally prime movers in major international shifts, tending rather to react to changes wrought by others. But that is no reason for policy stasis. The government is right in thinking in the short term about our Pacific neighbours and Timor-Leste. As the major externa... more »

How Working From Home During the Coronavirus Pandemic Exposes You to New Cybersecurity Threats
*Aaron Mauro* *Security, World* [image: Reuters] Adaptation to new lifestyles present opportunities for criminals waiting to exploit the crisis. COVID-19 has changed nearly every aspect of our daily lives, including how we shop, socialize, exercise and work.

Herd immunity assuming the co-existence of different R0 regions
Most of the blog posts in recent two months were about Covid-19; I am sure that not everyone likes it. A month or two before the scientific public (and an even longer time before the general public) has figured it out, the TRF folks understood that Covid-19 is effectively just another variation of flu (and should be treated as such; this remains the most important divisive point that separates the sensible people from the hysterical demagogues), it's probably significantly older than from December 2019, flattening of curves doesn't save any lives, almost all similar restrictions are... more »

People wearing masks, attend a vigil for Chinese doctor Li Wenliang, in Hong Kong, February 7, 2020. (AP Photo/Kin Cheung) *Times Of Israel: **Xi Jinping’s China did this* The corrupt, criminal regime wasted 40 days blocking information while it crushed domestic dissent and ensured COVID-19 would become a global pandemic.

For 40 days, President ... more »
Quote of the Day
“I think [Democrats] live in a fantasy world. Reality is that the United States is lowering emissions, one of the only countries in the world. Matter of fact, I think of all the 194 [countries] that signed on to the Paris Accord, the U.S. is the one that’s leading the world in reducing emissions. That’s what they ought to be talking about — that America [is] transitioning away from old, inefficient power plants to natural gas plants [and] lowering emissions. … It is fantastical when you think about the true misrepresentation of the truth that the Democrats are spewing out … Continue ... more »

Nietzsche on Napoleon
Nietzsche describes Napoleon as a synthesis of Unmensch (brute) and Übermensch (overman)—several political leaders in our time, I suppose, would fit this description.
