I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that. - Donnie Psycho, President Of The United States Of America, April 23, 2020 *by Noah* Tell ya what, Mr. President; why don't you and your whole asshole family go down to the White House basement with a bunch of different disinfectants and some needles and go play Fuhrerbunker.

Clare Collins, Jenna Hollis, Lauren Williams at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Clare Collins, Jenna Hollis, Lauren Williams* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] Even though weight gain is common, you can beat it by using menopause as an opportunity to reset your eating and exercise habits. For many women, the journey through menopause is a roller coaster of symptoms including hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbance, dry and itchy skin, mood changes, anxiety, depression and weight gain. For some, it can be relatively uneventful. Menopause is medically defined as not having any menstrual bleeding for 12 months. Most women reach this milestone betwee... more »

40 Years Ago the British Special Air Service Became Pure Legend

Peter Suciu at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, * Simply an amazing history Today even medium-sized police forces have special units that can deal in hostage rescue operations, but 40 years ago this was anything but the norm. It all changed on April 30, 1980, when the Iranian Embassy on Prince's Gate in London was stormed by six terrorists who demanded autonomy for a region in southern Iran called Arabistan. Five days into the siege, four hostages had been released but 22 remained. A number of scenarios were considered to rescue the hostages, and finally, Operation Nimrod was given the green light.

Should Congress Bailout State Unemployment Insurance Funds Drained By Coronavirus?

Matt Weidinger at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Matt Weidinger* *Economics, Americas* Americans need help. As the scale of impending layoffs caused by government-mandated shutdowns became clearer, Congress acted quickly to “keep as many workers as whole as possible through the emergency” by adding $600 to weekly state unemployment insurance (UI) checks. Federal funds pay for this supplement to state UI benefits.

*Abosede Omowumi Babatunde* *Environment, Security, Africa* Here are the details. In the Niger Delta’s coastal communities, oil pollution of the marine environment has depleted the fishing and water resources that people have traditionally depended on for their livelihoods. This has led to a complex pattern of conflicts in the region since the late 1990s. Oil spills, gas flaring, and other activities of oil companies have led to massive degradation of land and marine resources. Environmentalists and scientists have provided varying estimates of the magnitude and frequency of oil... more »

"What happens to people living in a society where everyone in power is lying, stealing, cheating and killing, and in our hearts we all know this, but the consequences of facing all these lies are so monstrous, we keep on hoping that maybe the corporate government administration and media are on the level with us this time.
