War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 19 minutes ago
At least three major coronavirus variants have been spotted in Britain in recent months – from Kent, South Africa and Brazil – and they appear to be evolving to spread faster and to evade some parts of the immune system, although scientists do not yet think any have yet got so far as to slip past the vaccines completely *Daily Mail*: *Top scientist investigating Covid variants says manufacturers need to start making new jabs NOW to fight mutations because it takes so long to get them rolled out * * EXCLUSIVE: Professor Ravi Gupta warned new variants are 'a signal' to act * He ...

War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 38 minutes ago
A investigation into the WHO's pandemic response found the UN health body's failings could largely be attributed to the weak position of the agency.

Fourteen hours and five minutes. If you're like me and probably over 100,000,000 other Americans, you don't need to know what that is. But for those of you who do, that's the amount of time Trump has left at the White House from which he has been rightly and lawfully evicted by 81,200,000+ of us. To paraphrase Gerald Ford, another right wing, one term nonentity, "Our long national nightmare is almost over." There are only last minute pardons for Trump to issue for murderers like Joe Exotic and white collar criminals like himself and there are going to be a lot of...

What Donald Trump Means To Me
Peter Greene, CURMUDGUCATION - 1 hour ago
I have followed Trump's career for decades. As anyone who has been paying attention knows, and as some folks insist on being shocked and surprised to discover on a regular basis, he really is that bad, and has always been that bad. I cannot think of a single human virtue that the man has ever displayed, and he is not even particularly good at many of the human vices that he wields like a toddler with a twisted light saber. He is a shambling mountain of human awfulness. The closest thing to an excuse that might be offered in his defense may also be simply the capper of his awfulnes...

*Michael Peck* *Security, Middle East* Imagine such a crisis now. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *After having just extricated itself from Vietnam, America was in no mood for another war. Yet, the White House felt it could not risk the loss of prestige and influence—especially in the oil-rich Middle East.

Trump-Fuelled Chaos Shows Democracy is in Trouble: Here's How to Turn the Tides

*Paul R.

Joe Biden will become the 46th president of the United States on Jan. 20, seven days after outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump became the first commander-in-chief in history to be impeached twice — this time for inciting an insurrection — after his supporters raided the U.S. Capitol.

CalPERS' Former CIO on Saving America’s Public Pensions
Leo Kolivakis, Pension Pulse - 2 hours ago
Ben Meng, CalPERS' former CIO, wrote a comment for Project Syndicate on saving America's public pensions: Much has been written in recent years about the plight of US public pensions. There are growing concerns about underfunded liabilities, rising implicit tax burdens, and broken promises to beneficiaries. These are not groundless fears. Many US public pensions are indeed facing severe financial pressures. These problems have begun to fuel doubts, among both current and future pensioners, about the reliability of their benefits over time, and thus about their economic security a...

*"Everything's Fine, * *There's Absolutely Nothing To See Here"* by Simon Black "In the darkest corners of our human instincts lies a psychological phenomenon that is the result of millions of years of evolutionary biology. It’s called “tonic immobility”. And it refers to a form of paralysis that occurs when we’re terrified and facing extreme mental or emotional trauma. Tonic immobility is common in nature. Animals in the wild will often freeze in place when confronted by a predator; the idea is that making no movement, and doing absolutely nothing, increases their chances of surviv...

Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 5 hours ago
President-Elect Joe Biden intends to ask the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help set up COVID-19 vaccination centers. Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who's an ambitious Republican and thus is not only required to denounce everything Biden does but must also make it seem sinister and apocalyptic, has decided that "vaccination centers" is not the correct term. During a news conference in Cape Coral on Tuesday, DeSantis said Biden’s plan to use federal disaster agency and the National Guard to build COVID-19 vaccine clinics across the country would be a “big mistake.” “I saw s...

*Sarah Hall* *Finance, Europe* The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) does not, and was not designed to, provide a substitute for the EU market access available to UK firms through passporting. In a document stretching to over 1,200 pages, only four and a half focus on financial services. Since the UK voted to leave the EU, financial services has been largely absent from Brexit discussions.

*Angela Norwood* *Politics, * Eligible U.S. citizens living abroad have the right to vote in federal elections, and they must register each year. Americans representing every state and district are dispersed throughout the world, and mobilizing their votes is no small task. Americans abroad, like those in the United States, are transfixed by U.S. President-elect Joe Biden’s high-stakes inauguration on Jan. 20.

Chatting to a stats guy at a meeting down Stoke Council's Civic Centre many years ago, we got round to the subject of consultants. This was always a hot button topic for the local authority. There seemed an unerring coincidence between the appointment of new executive-level officers and the consultantation firms who were subsequently contracted in to do some work. And this was in the thick of the government's swingeing cuts to local government where hiring consultants was always politically problematic. To cut the story short, said stats guys said all one group did for a £15k job w...
