Robert at Ice Age Now - 11 hours ago

Within a week, the cyclone shifted through the Middle Volga, the Volga-Vyatka region and the Komi Republic to the Arctic. Having reached Novaya Zemlya, the Southerner sharply turned towards the Kola Peninsula. One-meter drifts still ...

Settler Violence In West Bank Rises Noticeably In April

Terrace at PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
Human rights center B'Tselem said that Israeli settlers have stepped up their attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank during April despite the coronavirus crisis. B’Tselem said in an official report that since the start of the corona crisis, Israeli settlers have ramped up attacks against Palestinians throughout the West Bank, with full state backing. The attacks have increased despite the movement restrictions, lockdowns and social distancing measures introduced to battle the pandemic. During the first three weeks of April, B’Tselem documented 23 settler attacks a... more »

Over 24 Million Workers Apply For Unemployment In Five Weeks

Terrace at PopularResistance.Org - 11 hours ago
In the last five weeks, the number of workers applying for unemployment insurance (UI) benefits has skyrocketed to well over 20 times what it was in the pre-coronavirus period, and over five times the worst five-week stretch of the Great Recession. For comparison, in the period before the coronavirus hit, just over a million workers would apply for UI in a typical five-week span, and in the worst five-week stretch of the Great Recession, it was less than four million. In the last five weeks, it was more than 24 million. That means more than one in seven workers applied for UI. (It... more »

America Is Safe From North Korea, Even if Kim Jong-un Dies

Daniel L. Davis at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Daniel L. Davis* *Security, Asia* It's important to recognize that regardless of who is in charge in Pyongyang, the balance of power remains stable—the U.S. has overwhelming conventional and nuclear dominance over North Korea. Even its neighbors are vastly more powerful. North Korea will continue to be deterred, regardless of who leads the country. International media was buzzing last week and into this weekend when a news outlet run by North Korean defectors reported that “multiple sources” in North Korea claimed that dictator Kim Jong-un had undergone a heart procedure of unk... more »

Unfortunately for Pyongyang, the balance of power will continue to be unfavorable. So if you’re expecting some sort of positive transformation or the dawn of a North Korean renaissance, prepare to have your hopes dashed. Where in the world is Kim Jong-un?

FACT: Huawei Can't Do 5G in U.S. (But Can Sell Wi-Fi Routers?)

Ethen Kim Lieser at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Technology, * Does that make sense? Would you buy one? It really is a conundrum. The U.S. is restricting Huawei’s access to 5G, but the Chinese company can still sell its routers here. That’s because once a device is deployed in Wi-Fi, it apparently can’t be forcibly recalled due to security reasons. You really don’t have to look hard, either, as you can find Huawei routers for purchase on Amazon and Walmart. Huawei is also flexing its muscles in next-gen Wi-Fi 6, which only came out last year.

After the Cold War, the B-1 platform lost a clear mission, their specific role was no longer needed.

My conspiracy theory about COVID-19: Geopolitics

Denis Rancourt at Activist Teacher - 13 hours ago

Sure, many corporations and financiers have already benefited, but the core (backbone) driving force must be

CNN provides evidence that Biden did sexually assault Tara Reade

It's not a smoking gun but an old Larry King Live show provides evidence that corroborates Tara Reade's claim that Joe Biden sexually assaulted her. Reade said that she'd told her mother about the incident and that her mother, a staunch feminist, called up Larry King's show to ask about what her daughter could do. Well that call has turned up. CNN didn't bother to look for it but the Media Research Center did. While the call was anonymous it came from where Reade's mother lived at the time, it described an aid to a Senator having to resign due to the Senators actions, it said that... more »

There are those who still confidently predict that Donald Trump will win re-election. But Frank Bruni writes that Trump is self-destructing before our eyes: As Katie Rogers and Annie Karni reported in The Times, the president feels isolated and embattled and is panicked that he’ll lose to Joe Biden in November. That state of mind, they wrote, prompted his executive order to halt the issuing of green cards, which is precisely the kind of base-coddling measure that he resorts to “when things feel out of control.” He can read the polls as well as the rest of us can, and they show th... more »
