A Political Junkie, Viable Opposition - 16 hours ago
In Part 1 of this two part series on the World Economic Forum's Fourth Industrial Revolution, we took a look at the blueprint for the WEF's Fourth Industrial Revolution also known as "The Great Reset". In Part 2, we'll take a closer look how the WEF believes that our collective futures could look in light of the massive societal reengineering that must take place (in their belief system) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Let's go back to 2016. Here is an article which appeared on the WEF's website on November 11, 2016: The writer, Ida Auken, a Member of Parliament in ...
How Joe Biden Can Avoid a Showdown with North Korea
Doug Bandow, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Doug Bandow* *North Korea, Asia* Biden should pick up where Trump left off. And begin work, even before taking the oath of office, to forestall another crisis on the Korean peninsula. Otherwise, another crisis with Pyongyang might be just around the corner. *Editor's Note: Back in August, we asked over 40 national security experts how a Biden Administration would tackle North Korea. You can see all of their ideas here. * Joe Biden will be America’s next president. His victory is almost entirely due to the incumbent’s constant missteps. Absent COVID-19 Donald Trump would have ...

U.S. regulators and global health organizations have grown more accommodating toward emerging tech aimed at combating the coronavirus than they were earlier this year. Several vaccine candidates have entered final trials, with more competitors on the way. The Food and Drug Administration recently issued an emergency use author...

Ethiopia is at the crossroads, and the current ethnic divide in Ethiopia will eventually lead to the state’s dismemberment.

Japan Might Build 'Super' Destroyers. Why? Think North Korea and China.

In the Korean War, America’s F-86 Sabre and Russia’s MiG-15 Fighter Duked it Out

It couldn't fly as high, climb as fast or maneuver as agilely as its Soviet-made opponent. But it could dive faster, was more aerodynamically stable, and had a radar gunsight that came in handy during high-speed jet dogfights.

Donald Trump finds himself, in the comedian Bill Mahar's words, "on the other end of an eviction notice." But that doesn't mean he's going away. Susan Delacourt writes: The fact that Trump gained more votes in 2020 than he did four years ago — roughly seven million more, so far — should serve as bracing evidence that Trumpism is more than a blip on the political landscape. Which raises the question, "Could Trumpism -- like Covid -- drift north of the border?"

That's important. Even with modern science, insects cause losses of up to 18 percent and in older practices that use less-effective pesticides like the organic manufacturing process, those yield losses are even higher - along with food cos...
