China (or more accurately China's despotic party) is more important to them than the rest of the whole United States. To me this is both morally abhorrent and really stupid. I don't think Xi stacks up very well compared to when China had actual intelligent rulers like Kublai Khan. He makes Xi look like a cosplayer.
Ain't it strange how Xi does have time to jail people for making Winnie-the-Pooh jokes on Twitter BUT doesn't have time to use his vast life-and-death powers to stop the consumption of virus-reservoir species in trendy new cuisines?
[Guns International] This tried and true rifle is a classic, having been used since the First World War and continued to see use in the military by snipers until the Korean War. Because of its renowned accuracy, many shooters took them and put them into sporter stocks, making for excellent hunting guns, target guns, and all around great shooters.

[BBC] The idea that avoiding meat is bad for our brains makes some intuitive sense; anthropologists have been arguing about what our ancestors ate for decades, but many scientists think that there was a lot of bone-crunching and brain-slurping on the road to evolving these remarkable 1.4kg (3lb) organs. Some have even gone so far as to say that meat made us human.
One reason is that intelligence is expensive ‐ the brain devours about 20% of our daily calories, though it accounts for just 2% of our body weight ‐ and what better way to find the enormous array of fats, amino acids, vitamins and minerals these fastidious organs require, than by feasting on animals which have already painstakingly collected or made them.
[BabylonBee] U.S.‐Presidential candidate Senator Elizabeth Warren has announced a plan to fight disinformation online. She has also announced the main target of this effort: "satire" site The Babylon Bee, one of the main perpetrators of fake news.
"When I am president," Warren told the press, "I immediately will initiate Order 66 and send an elite task force to hunt down and end all disinformation." Many confused Boomers are expected to end up in prison from this, but Warren explained that the main targets will be the writers of The Babylon Bee, who are to be hunted down and tried for high to medium treason.
The Babylon Bee in the past has written a number of stories about Warren, including her attacking her Senate colleagues with a tomahawk, her dressing up as a student loan fairy, and her claiming she lost her teaching job when her mustache fell off, revealing she’s a woman. Some of these have been disproven by Snopes. "This isn’t about one website, though," Warren explained. "This is about making sure that there are no lies on the internet -- especially about me. There will be exceptions, though, for politicians, as sometimes we make mistakes -- like that whole Native American thing."
The Babylon Bee is not backing down, though, and has announced it will continue to "write entertaining satire from a Christian viewpoint" and will "never be taken alive."

[Babylon Bee] ATLANTA, GA‐CNN has announced a new "Two Minutes Hate" segment airing every morning.
The segments are mandatory viewing for anyone trapped in an airport or hotel lobby. Enraged hosts will drum up hate against whatever draws their ire that particular day, though usually it will be Trump and his supporters.
Viewers will be worked up into a frenzy through subliminal messaging and the energy of the crowd. Hosts will use provocative imagery and mocking to get everyone really angry and make them hate their political opponents. Triggering images such as people in red baseball caps and politicians with orange skin will flash across the screen until the crowd's rage is built up to a sufficient level.
"Be angry! Be very upset! Be outraged! Everything is terrible!" Don Lemon cried at the crowds dutifully assembled around CNN telescreens across the nation. "Repeat after me: Trump voters are sheep!"
"Trump voters are sheep," viewers mumbled obediently.
Fox News has condemned the Two Minutes Hate, accused CNN of copying their model during the Obama years.

Bee, for sure, but seems like something CNN would do if they were honest.
Many years ago I stopped having CNN's HLN channel playing in the background while tapping away at the keyboard. The blatant bias got to be tiresome, especially the mandatory Eco-GreenThink™ segments that popped up every 15-20 minutes...
[Hot Air] Former CIA Director John Brennan is an unabashed member of The Resistance. He and the rest of the Trump-hating left are bitterly clinging to the hope that a miracle will occur in the impeachment trial. Nothing short of a vote in the Senate to affirm that the president is guilty of the charges before them will suffice. Then, of course, President Trump must be removed from office.
Reality is slowly setting in for men like Brennan. President Trump will not be voted guilty in the Senate and he will not be removed from office. He will serve out the rest of his term. Brennan has found a way to vent about Trump through a sweet gig as a senior national security and intelligence analyst for NBC News and MSNBC. During an appearance on Chuck Todd’s MSNBC show on Monday, Brennan went so far as to say that President Trump should just cancel the State of the Union address this year.
It probably shouldn’t surprise us that Brennan made such a statement. He’s an authoritarian and denying the opportunity of an opposing view to be heard is what authoritarians do. Just look at the problems conservative speakers on college campuses have. Brennan’s contention is that since the timing of the address by the president and the impeachment trial may collide, the State of the Union address should be canceled. The date scheduled for the president to deliver the address is February 4 ‐ next Tuesday. Brennan has no more clear idea of when the impeachment trial will be wrapping up than any of the rest of us but he wanted to get out there and release his vitriol, just in case.
Brennan is worried about the intersection of two events and, well, it’s just embarrassing to America on the world stage, you know. And, just like that, show host Chuck Todd chimed in with agreement. Brennan said, "I just cannot imagine. It’s not just embarrassing, but also I think it’s very destructive to the image of the United States worldwide to have this going on and have Mr. Trump up there." Todd’s response was, "’State of our union is strong,’ who the hell is going to say that?"
If we are to successfully launch urgent R&D efforts toward strategically important innovation today, we must re-create the conditions for success Those do not, as a rule, exist in our current academic and federal bureaucracies, which are not driven by urgent, focused existential challenges that come close to those that motivated the Apollo and SDI programs.
What is needed is twofold. First, several key research foci must be identified as having just that degree of difficult but urgent importance for us as a country. And second, we must create organizational and funding spaces where a small group of highly skilled and motivated researchers can address them. Those most likely will need to be at least semi-independent from existing academic and federal bureaucracies if they are to succeed..
Concomitant with the above is the need to end (or in some cases, head off) the wokification of STEM that is becoming a major issue.
If the effort to make SJW goals paramount within STEM succeeds, we can forget about having "a small group of highly skilled and motivated researchers"if they also fail to check all the intersectionality boxes.
While it might be hypothetically possible to satisfy both imperatives in a few cases here and there, what are the odds that it can be done for the many small groups that we'll likely need for every one of these efforts?
[SultanKnish] - In 2016, most of Bell County, TX, voted for Donald Trump. But in the midst of all that vast sea of Republican red, lay the pool of blue voters in the city of Killeen which came out for Hillary Clinton.
Killeen is one of the Democrat enclaves that the party hopes will flip places like Bell County and Texas. Beto O’Rourke focused on the city of 127,000 as, more recently, did Michael Bloomberg’s campaign.
But Killeen is exceptional not just for its body of Democrats, but because of its diseased bodies.
The Democrat city placed 8th on the list of cities with the highest rates of sexually transmitted diseases. Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control show that with 1,644 STD cases per 100,000, 1,630 gonorrhea cases, and 4,190 chlamydia cases, it’s not just support for Hillary Clinton going viral there.
The causal link between getting gonorrhea and voting for Hillary Clinton may seem incidental, but it’s what the cities with the worst rates of sexually transmitted diseases in America have in common.
The 20 American cities with the highest STD rates are Democrat enclaves. Some, like Killeen or Columbia, are Democrat enclaves within Republican states. Others, like San Francisco and New York City, are blue on blue. But they all share progressive politics and progressing social diseases.
Baltimore is the nation’s capital of STDs. The failed city, whose murder rate reached stratospheric rates after former Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake admitted during the race riots that she, "gave those who wished to destroy space to do that", not only broke its own crime records with a homicide rate of 57 per 100,000, but also pulled off an STD rate of 2,004 per 100,000. If the bullets don’t get you, the viruses will.

The causal link between getting gonorrhea and voting for Hillary Clinton.
Vote for Hillary and get gonorrhea? If Hilda decides to run again, she might want to change her slogan in light of this possible causal link: "I'm With Her."
[Right Scoop] Trump is coming under fire again from CNN, this time over a lack of diversity in his Coronavirus task force:
Seriously, is there nothing Trump can’t do that CNN won’t criticize? And criticize with such disdain, I might add, as the author of this CNN NEWS article makes clear in his first sentence: "It’s a statement that’s as predictable as it is infuriating..."
They just have to paint Trump as a racist every chance they get. CNN doesn’t come right and say it in the article, but that’s exactly the point they are making. Since when is the color of someone’s skin a qualification?
And notice the other point of the article, "it’s still worth pointing out...as the country approaches the 2020 presidential election." That’s right, they are hoping it will harm Trump in this year’s election. They make their motivations clear: ’Don’t vote for Trump because he’s a racist.’ And CNN wonders why people hate them so...

fuck your diversity, look how that works out in every other aspect of life. I don't give a shit what color or whatever you are as long as you are very competent in my healthcare.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
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
