Defund The Police, Then Abolish It
The United States’ powder keg of racial capitalism, searing inequality and violent policing, compounded by the state’s ruinously indifferent response to a global pandemic and a sputtering economy, has finally exploded. Mass protest has shaken the country, with more than 40 cities instituting curfews and 23 states calling in a total of 17,000 National Guard troops to stamp out the uprisings.

Media Relations Controls Marginalize The Press … And The Public
As protests erupt in the wake of police brutality, one key point for journalists to remember is that many police agencies have enforced silence on police officers. And that creates an historically fearful secrecy. In an SPJ-sponsored 2016 survey, 56% of police reporters said they can rarely or never interview a police officer without involving a department’s public information officer. Another 30% said they can do those interviews only some of the time. Over 23% of police reporters said, all or most of the time, they had been prevented by a PIO from interviewing officers or inv... more »

Question: Are Viruses Actually Alive?
*Hugh Harris* *Science, World* Some properties of living things are absent from viruses, which sets viruses apart from life as we currently define it. Viruses are an inescapable part of life, especially in a global viral pandemic. Yet ask a roomful of scientists if viruses are alive and you’ll get a very mixed response. The truth is, we don’t fully understand viruses, and we’re still trying to understand life. Some properties of living things are absent from viruses, such as cellular structure, metabolism (the chemical reactions that take place in cells) and homeostasis (keeping... more »
Report: You Might Be Wasting Your Money on Probiotics for Gut Health
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Health, * Millions of health-conscious Americans are already sold on probiotics, which can come in pill form and food products like yogurt. Despite the often-touted health benefits that probiotics seem to provide, a new guideline by the American Gastroenterological Association has warned that there’s not enough scientific evidence to fully recommend using these “good” bacteria and yeasts to treat certain digestive diseases, such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome. Millions of health-conscious Americans are already sold on probi... more »
China Carries Out Large-Scale Drills in Latest Showdown With India
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] The latest saber-rattling in the region was meant to demonstrate China’s capability to quickly reinforce its border defenses.

What’s Behind China’s Growing Military Activity Around Taiwan?
*J. Michael Cole* *Security, Asia* A worrying spike in Chinese military activity near Taiwan since the beginning of 2020 has led some analysts to conclude that Beijing is exploiting a moment of distraction within the international system due to the COVID-19 pandemic to intimidate Taiwan and create a fait accompli in the Taiwan Strait. Closer analysis of trends that predate the outbreak, however, suggests that Beijing would have adopted the same escalatory strategy regardless of the international situation. A worrying spike in Chinese military activity near Taiwan since the begin... more »
How Very Hungry Caterpillars Grow and Grow and Don’t Get Sick

The hyper velocity projectile can travel at speeds up to 2,000 meters per second, a speed which is about three times that of most existing weapons. The rate of fire is 10-rounds per minute, developers explained at last years' briefing. The Navy is considering accelerating developmental testing of its high-... more »

George Floyd memorials
I didn't watch the memorial service for George Floyd, but I've seen clips of the speakers and singers (depending on which cable channel you watch, some are edited to throttle hate and emotions, and some to give the message of redemption in Christ). I'd seen articles about him in the Christian media--he had from all appearances, made a commitment to Christ and had tried to help others like him who had prison records. He wasn't an anarchist It's a bridge too far for me to pretend how black Christians feel when they see a man eulogized whose crimes were against blacks, and for which... more »
The Fragility of Nations
A nation is a fragile thing; it’s hard to build and easy to destroy. When the intellectuals, politicians, and technocrats use their political power to change too many things—by mandating new ways of living, and imposing new restrictions or lockdowns—they are asking for trouble; they have no way of knowing how much stress their nation can take before its moral and political structure starts to break apart. Using government’s power to impose changes and manage some imagined or real crisis can easily backfire—it can lead to a precipitous decline in national culture, and create the sett... more »

The new "moderate" Democrat position is to move huge amounts of money from the police to programs that will enrich Social Justice Warriors but do nothing to actually stop crime. But the real action is from Democrats who want to defund, ie eliminate, the police. They don't really have any rational explanation of how if we have around 3000 Blacks murdered each year by non-cops with cops patrolling the streets and trying to arrest the killers we won't have a lot more Blacks murdered each year if there's no one to arrest killers.
