[OutKick] When you wind up in South Park’s crosshairs, they rarely miss. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are well aware of this after the show took them to task in its latest episode.
It was such a brutal — and accurate — comedic undressing, that Megyn Kelly doesn’t think the attention-seeking duo will ever recover from it.
This week’s episode of the long-running animated series — titled "The Worldwide Privacy Tour" — made fun of the ex-Royals for their frequent complaints about a lack of privacy, despite near-constant attempts to remain in the public eye.

The Media, anti-royalty left and politicians used them, plain and simple, to tarnish the Royal Family's image.
Now having milked them dry, see $$$$$ in hosing them.
It is also clear Charles will never be, nor ever could be, 10% of what Queen Elizabeth was to England. He hosed that by messing around on the much loved Princess Di.
Which, too many, are still suspicious of her actual cause of death.
Either way, I expect to see another crown change in 2 to 3 years.

i like harold. he saw combat in afghanistan both on the ground and in the air. The title of his book 'spare' says it all about charles. I hope that Wlm soon taks the crown and appoints Harold as ambassador-at-large to change the view, that i have, towards british royalty. I send an 'aum' towards he and megan nightly.

[Garowe] A new investigation report released by Amnesia Amnesty International has revealed that the Rwandan government has been backing M23 rebels

The Tutsi group was founded in 2012 as a Rwandan sock puppet, which no doubt seemed a good idea at the time, but in less than a year the Congolese army defeated them, and then Rwanda publicly stepped back in response to international pressure. M23 started acting up again in late 2022, possibly again at Rwandan instigation...

With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... The report findings reveal that as of late November 2022, the March 23 Movement (M23) rebel group killed at least twenty men and raped scores of women and girls in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.

[WIRE] The U.S. military has concluded its operation to recover debris from a Chinese spy balloon that flew over the U.S. earlier this month.
The news comes after the U.S. military used an F-22 Raptor on February 4 to take out the spy balloon over the Atlantic Ocean using a single air-to-air AIM-9X Sidewinder missile that was fired at an altitude of approximately 58,000 feet. The decision to shoot down the spy balloon came after President Joe Biden allowed it to fly thousands of miles over the continental U.S.
"Recovery operations concluded Feb. 16 off the coast of South Carolina, after U.S. Navy assets assigned to U.S. Northern Command successfully located and retrieved debris from the high-altitude PRC surveillance balloon shot down Feb. 4, 2023," U.S. Northern Command said in a statement. "Final pieces of debris are being transferred to the [FBI] labratory in Virginia for counterintelligence exploitation, as has occurred with the previous surface and subsurface debris recovered. U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard vessels have departed the area. Air and maritime safety perimeters have been lifted."
Biden tried to sound tough when speaking on Thursday about the matter, two weeks after the incident occurred.
"I expect to be speaking with President Xi and I hope we can get to the bottom of this," Biden claimed. "But I make no apologies for taking down that balloon."
Subsequent unidentified objects were shot down over Alaska, Canada, and Lake Huron.
"We don’t yet know what these three objects were, but nothing right now suggests that they were related to China’s spy balloon program or that they were surveillance vehicles from any other country," Biden claimed during his remarks.
Biden claimed that the administration would develop "sharper rules" for tracking objects that enter U.S. airspace and determining potential actions to take against those objects after he allowed the Chinese spy balloon to fly over the U.S. a couple of weeks ago before finally shooting it down off the coast of South Carolina.
Biden said that he wanted the new rules to be able to "distinguish between those that are likely to pose safety and security risks that necessitate action and those that do not."

[REGNUM] 4,500-year-old royal palace and temple found in southern Iraq
British archaeologists are studying the ruins of a temple and the royal palace of the ancient Sumerians, discovered in the province of Dhi Qar in southern Iraq. This is stated in the message of the British Museum and the publication of The Guardian.
The royal palace was located on the territory of the ancient Sumerian city of Girsu and was built at least 4,500 years ago. The city of Girsu was discovered in the 19th century, it suffered from robberies and illegal excavations.
Detailed aerial photography of the area helped archaeologists to distinguish the outlines of ancient buildings. At the place where the palace stood, more than 200 cuneiform tablets with administrative records of the ancient city have already been found.
According to the director of the British Museum Hartwig Fischer , the new findings could "incredibly expand the understanding of science about this important civilization" - the world of the ancient Sumerians.
The ruins of the temple of the god Ninurta, also known as Ningirsu, the patron of Girsu, were also discovered. Scientists believe that pilgrims could come to the temple en masse.
[Breitbart] A new poll published in the journal Science shows growing support for the eugenics-based idea of selecting human embryos during in vitro fertilization (IVF) based on "intellectual aptitude," MIT Technology Review reported this month.
IVF is an infertility treatment in which embryos are created outside the womb before being implanted in a mother’s uterus. Embryos, unborn human beings at the earliest stages of life, are often destroyed in the process, making IVF controversial for those in the pro-life movement who believe life begins at fertilization.
The new poll asked respondents their willingness to advance their children’s prospects in three ways: SAT prep courses, embryo tests, and gene editing on embryos. Thirty-eight percent said they would be willing to screen their embryos during IVF for likely intelligence levels, 68 percent would be willing to try an SAT prep course, and 28 percent said they would support gene editing, according to the report.
"I certainly don’t think this is something good. I am concerned about it," says Michelle N. Meyer, a professor of bioethics with the Geisinger Health System, who coauthored the report. "The bigger risk is saying nothing and letting this unfold against a laissez-faire regulatory and market system."
Antonio Regalado, the author of the MIT Technological Review article, compared the results of people who are willing to try genetic testing as "similar to the proportion of Americans who say they would consider an electric vehicle as their next car purchase."

The other 60-some percent of us are wondering how you screen embryos for intelligence. It's not like the moist little dears can hold a #2 pencil.
Done by the same sort of speculative, witch doctor "science" that brings weekly NASA announcements of the discovery of another "habitable planet" 600 million light years away.

C’mon, SteveS! It’s IVF — they just hold up a little blackboard in front of the test tube, and the darling thing points to the answer it thinks correct.

If you believe in God, embryonic Hunger Games is a bad idea for so many reasons. From an agnostic stand point, the Covid vax has proved that science is not always very good. We might end up selecting the exact opposite of what we intend.

the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
