China says Indian forces crossed border, fired warning shots
https://apnews.com/0ea5d13315acb3cdc030d711a9d3e753
First of all let me remind you of a few facts. China and India has been fighting for the territory that is right between China, India and a bit of Nepal. Chinese claim the region and named it with a typical Chinese name, India did the same but in their own language. Nepalese claim that India invaded part of its territory while building a highway that leads to that very same region in dispute. Since 1962 both China and India want to stretch or reduce the border based on their own agendas.

Those fights have been brutal even resorting to unconventional fighting styles for modern armies like boxing, throwing stones, pushing enemies to make them fall down the cliffs, etc. Shots are, err, kind of uncommon, but they do happen every other day. They usually call them "warning shots" only.

By the way, they have been trying to negotiate a different deal since their only war ended in a hard to swallow truce long time ago. So where did they meet? Confused
Let me give you a tip, you would link that place to bears, not pandas but bears. Curiously it seems the Bible also relates it with a bear. Thinking Oh and its current leader is as bald as this guy! => Indifferent

Last 2 journalists working for Australian media leave China
https://apnews.com/28d6c05e87922013cf6c485d9568160d
Well, some time ago it was a row over meat and other products, now Australian journalists are not welcome in China. Actually they did not let them go at first, even if they had packed everything to leave China behind for good. Things are getting UGLY there.

AP News Wrote:Both journalists had sheltered in Australian diplomatic compounds in recent days.
They left after Australia revealed last week that Australian citizen Cheng Lei, a business news anchor for CGTN, China’s English-language state media channel, had been detained.
Both journalists were told they were “persons of interest” in an investigation into Cheng, The Australian Financial Review reported. Seven uniformed police visited each journalist’s home in Beijing and Shanghai at 12:30 a.m. Thursday, the newspaper said.
Birtles was due to depart Beijing on Thursday and was holding a farewell party on Wednesday when police came to his apartment and told him he was banned from leaving the country, ABC said. He was told he would be contacted on Thursday to organize a time to be questioned about a “national security case,” his employer said.
If they cannot blame you for anything, they will bother you till you can take it anymore. Sad

El Salvador prosecutors search prisons in pact investigation
https://apnews.com/ee6a00d1d18658a3eb1a40ad9df3e460

They first criticized Nayib Bukele for being quite severe while dealing with criminals. Nowadays they want to accuse him of negotiating with the Mara Salvatrucha or MS-13 as you might know it in the USA. Sarcasm + Confused This does not make any sense, he actually ordered them to mix criminals from several gangs. So why would he send a committee to negotiate with the MS? Confused
Also keep in mind that there are local political parties that hate Bukele as much as Democrats hate Trump in the US. Sarcasm


Samsung wins $6.6 billion Verizon contract for 5G network
https://apnews.com/50e406d41d782a1bcbe2596bd6ecf4be
Happy with a sweat Did you want to carry along a brand new 5G Cellphone cellphone? Well, that might happen in the not so far future in many more places. Shocked

AP News Wrote:But one 5G rival — China’s Huawei Technologies Ltd. — wasn’t in the running for the contract. Huawei has been largely absent from the U.S. since 2012, when a congressional panel warned phone carriers to avoid it.
Thinking How curious... is it not? Several media keep blaming Trump for how his administration has treated Huawei but even back in 2012 they noticed it was a threat. Shocked Oh and few years later China approved two controversial laws that would force companies with subsidiaries or headquarters in China to share any intelligence with the government. Serious They still want to claim they pose no threat to US security.

Italy investigates Apple, Google, Dropbox over cloud storage
https://apnews.com/5d8de6ebe1f08233ba670fd44d4b1246
AP News Wrote:The competition and market authority said Monday it has opened a total of six investigations into Apple iCloud, Google Drive and Dropbox’s online storage service in response to complaints about unfair commercial practices and violations of the country’s consumer rights directive. In one case, it’s also looking into “vexatious clauses” in a contract.
The Italian probe follows wider efforts by European Union regulators to clarify the fine print tech companies use in their terms and conditions of service so consumers can better understand how their information is being used.
I wished they had done those "clarifications" a lot sooner than they usually do. Serious

Russia’s Alexei Navalny out of coma, is responsive
https://apnews.com/bd9b23bb9c7dbfdf36ffb8ffb514e305
AP News Wrote:Poisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s condition has improved, allowing doctors to take him out of an induced coma, the German hospital treating him said Monday.
“The patient has been removed from his medically induced coma and is being weaned off mechanical ventilation,” Berlin’s Charite hospital said in a statement. ”He is responding to verbal stimuli. It remains too early to gauge the potential long-term effects of his severe poisoning.”

By the way, Melana and others, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel now isn't so sure about closing the gas pipeline deal with Russia.
Oh and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called his poisoning outrageous.


Saudi court issues final verdicts in Khashoggi killing
https://apnews.com/7c6e35f99ba2861e242ac607e20dac40
AP News Wrote:A Saudi court issued final verdicts on Monday in the case of slain Washington Post columnist and Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi after his son, who still resides in the kingdom, announced pardons that spared five of the convicted individuals from execution.
Thinking Interesting attitude but why was it for just 5 out of 8 people in trial?

AP News Wrote:The court ordered a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for the five. Another individual received a 10-year sentence, and two others were ordered to serve seven years in prison.
Shocked That was the reason, they weren't desperate to get such pardons. Really? So what about the Crown Prince? Is he really getting away with it? Those men worked for his office after all.

Japanese economy is not rising but sinking Sad
https://apnews.com/8453d44c1d4e0c2c65706f786171602f
What is notorious but almost left in the dark is that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is resigning due to health issues and the Japanese are now waiting for a new PM to keep their country going amidst the Corona-Chan coronavirus crisis.

Bill de Blasio touts 'peaceful' weekend as NYPD hits 25-year high in gun arrests
https://www.foxnews.com/us/nypd-gun-arre...ekend-2020
Really? So is this just another Democrat talking about their "summer of love" again?

Fox News Wrote:'The problem is there’s too many guns out there, and there’s not enough consequences, and once we get our heads wrapped around that, I think we’ll be in a better place,' NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said

Later on they added de Blasio's remark on this weekend.

Fox News Wrote:The news came after 23 shootings -- two fatally -- occurred over the holiday weekend. The shootings victims include a 6-year-old, his mother and three others who were wounded by gunfire while celebrating J’Ouvert, a Caribbean culture festival, in Brooklyn early Monday.
Despite the bloodshed, Mayor Bill de Blasio touted the three-day break as a "peaceful weekend" during his Monday briefing.
"We had one incident and it is a very troubling incident where one individual shot five people in Crown Heights in the early morning hours Monday. One of those people was a 6-year-old boy. And that's deeply troubling," he said. "Thank God none have life-threatening injuries. But except for that incident. Overwhelmingly, we had a peaceful weekend in central Brooklyn and it really is because of the hard work of everyone."

So there were 23 shootings but he only cared about 1 of them. Sarcasm What about the other 22 groups of victims?
Then some

Fox News Wrote:...a former NYPD officer, and Bronx Councilman Ritchie Torres have called for an independent investigation into an alleged work slowdown.
"You cut the budget. You take all the cops off the street and then you wonder why it takes longer for cops to get the job," he told the radio station.

Well, de Blasio always wanted to cut their budget but not his wife's, even if she doesn't need to spend $2 millions by hiring a speech writer, a hair dresser, among other people. Now with hundreds of Police cops getting dismissed, what city would be able to deal with criminality in a timely manner?

Fox News Wrote:He attributed some the uptick in gun crimes to bail reform and court closures.

Definitely that's the worst way to deal with pitty criminals that never learn the lesson. Angry


12 Hong Kongers arrested for fleeing from China
https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/governm...-china-lam
Even their local government admitted mainland China will judge them. Weren't they Hong Kongers in the first place!? Sarcasm Why do they need to transfer them to Beijing or Shangai or Wuhan to face a trial? Shocked That's right! They were heading to Taiwan. Thinking Even so the CCP treats Taiwan as a "rebel" province so it'd be Chinese soil as well, based on their own logic not the Taiwanese, so why would they ever need to arrest them at all!? Confused

Business Times Wrote:"If these Hong Kong residents were arrested for breaching mainland offences then they have to be dealt with according to the mainland laws and in accordance to the jurisdiction before any other things could happen." Mrs Lam added that her government had "a duty to render assistance" to Hong Kong residents "caught in all sorts of situations" abroad and the government's representative office in Guangzhou, Guangdong's capital, will look into ways to provide that assistance and liaise with mainland authorities.

And what jurisdiction was it? When exactly did they leave Hong Kong to enter Guangdong province or any other Chinese province? They were sailing to Taiwan! Plus China can't just think all of the South China sea is theirs. Angry There are several countries there that own parts of that sea as well!

Business Times Wrote:News agency AFP reported on Monday lawyers representing some of those captured have been denied access to their clients. Mrs Lam did not address that particular aspect when asked.

And they aren't even allowed to meet their lawyers! Ticked off How can the Chinese authorities call it a due process if they can't defend themselves by contacting their lawyers? Especially when they can't really prove they committed a crime there. Sarcasm

Taiwan urges alliance against Chinese aggressive actions
https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/governm...ve-actions
Business Times Wrote:Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen called on Tuesday for an alliance of democracies to defend against "aggressive actions" and protect freedom, alluding to Chinese actions in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait as major threats to regional stability.
"The rapid militarisation of the South China Sea, increasing and frequent grey-zone tactics in the Taiwan Strait and East China Sea, coercive diplomacy used against countries and corporations...are all destabilising the Indo-Pacific region," Ms Tsai said, without directly naming China.
She called for a strategy that avoided war, yet conveyed the resolve to protect democracies by encouraging cooperation, transparency and problem-solving through dialogue.

China love to call US a bully. Really? Oh really? And who exactly is bothering and threatening countries in the Pacific Ocean like Taiwan, Australia, Indonesia among others?

Strange California Mail Dumps
https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-ma...ion-report
Fox News Wrote:Other mail-related incidents have sparked concerns around the country in recent weeks.
Earlier this month, nearly 3,000 voters in Georgia filed complaints with election officials, claiming their absentee ballots for the state’s Aug. 11 primary election were not delivered in time for them to vote, Atlanta’s FOX 5 reported.

So are they still able to vote in person at any local poll or what? Confused

DOJ records show members of Mueller’s team ‘wiped’ phones during Trump probe
The documents were released after a lawsuit from Judicial Watch
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/doj-rec...ped-phones

Fox News Wrote:The records show at least several dozen phones were wiped of information because of forgotten passcodes, irreparable screen damage, loss of the device, intentional deletion or other reasons -- and came before the DOJ’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) could review the devices.
The documents show that Mueller deputy Andrew Weissman "accidentally wiped" his phone twice after entering the wrong passcode too many times in March 2018. Lawyer James Quarles’ phone “wiped itself” without his intervention, the records say.
The records indicate Attorney Greg Andres phone was also wiped due to a forgotten passcode. And they say the phones of both Mueller deputy Kyle Freeny and Rush Atkinson were wiped accidentally after they entered the wrong passcode too many times.
The records say that a phone belonging to FBI lawyer Lisa Page – whose anti-Trump texts with FBI agent Peter Strzok were of interest to investigators -- was restored to factory settings when the inspector general’s office received it.

Sarcasm I've owned weird phones in the past but I've never experienced such an "automatic wipe" at all. It's just impossible to have hired a gang of idiots as attorneys or investigators that can't even keep their phones safe and working normally. They wouldn't have last more than a few months at any private firm.

Just in case you have missed them, these are the official DOJ records.

The Atlantic calls to 'end the Nobel Peace Prize' following Trump nominations
Fox News on Atlantic staff writer Graeme Wood Wrote:"Giving the peace prize to no one at all is a tradition the Nobel Committee should revive, perhaps on a permanent basis," Wood added. "The record of achievement of the peace laureates is so spotty, and the rationales for their awards so eclectic, that the committee should take a long break to consider whether peace is a category coherent enough to be worth recognizing. Peace had its chance, and blew it. The Trump nomination ... helps show why."

Thinking So Mr. Wood you need a reason why they should pick Trump and not your favorite candidate... Well, a Peace Deal is a feat by itself but what about a SECOND PEACE DEAL? Shocked

Trump and Israel and Bahrain: A New Peace Deal

Plus the fact Obama granted Iran a large sum of money that actually belonged to the Iranian democratic government not to the Ayatollah and his henchmen.

La Nina forms in the Pacific – here's what it means for hurricanes, wildfires
The last time this weather pattern appeared was in 2017
https://www.foxnews.com/us/la-nina-forms...-wildfires
Fox News Wrote:A La Nina climate pattern has appeared in the Pacific Ocean, which could lead to an increase in activity during the ongoing Atlantic hurricane season and create conditions more prone to wildfires out West, forecasters say.
La Nina, Spanish for “little girl,” is a naturally occurring phenomenon in which sea surface temperatures across the central and eastern Pacific Ocean are cooler than average, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It’s the opposite of the warmer-than-average “El Nino” -- and scientists believe this time the pattern will last through at least February.
“La Nina can contribute to an increase in Atlantic hurricane activity by weakening the wind shear over the Caribbean Sea and tropical Atlantic Basin, which enables storms to develop and intensify,” Mike Halpert, the deputy director of NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, said in a statement.
So prepare yourselves especially if you live along the coast, guys! Shocked

Fox News Wrote:In the winter, the La Nina phenomenon usually brings more precipitation and colder-than-usual temperatures across the northern U.S., with the opposite happening across southern states.
That's in the US but down here in Costa Rica it always gets kind of cold or sultry depending on your location and quite rainy for sure. Sad

Moria migrants and Greek islanders protest over new camp

The island's residents also oppose the reconstruction of the camp and have blocked roads to stop aid deliveries.
But the Greek army has already begun setting up replacement accommodation.

Well, the fire left the immigrants quite vulnerable... and they don't want them to build another shelter? Confused
That reminds me of what happened down here in Southern Costa Rica, some Haitian immigrants burned their shelter and escaped claiming they were tired of waiting the day they would be able to reach the Northern border shared with Nicaragua. Sad Poor people! They ignore Ortega is the worst president in Central America after Noriega had been arrested in Panama long ago. If he EVER let them go through his country, they could easily catch the coronavirus and get no medical assistance. Sad

Belarusian leader set to visit Russia as protests continue
https://apnews.com/cb5508c733e6dd78e1da9628b76acf64
AP news Wrote:Belarusian authorities detained scores of demonstrators Friday while seeking to end more than a month of protests against the country’s authoritarian president, who is set to visit Russia to help shore up his hold on power after 26 years in office.
Thinking So he's gonna run to ask his protector Putin to safe him from being kicked out of power in Belarus. If I Recall Correctly Maduro did the same some time ago. This would make Lukashenko the second tyrant looking for Russia's assistance. Anyway Russia had already offered him to send Russian cops to help him stop public protests.

AP news Wrote:Prosecutors have launched a criminal probe against top members of the Coordination Council created by the opposition to push for a new election, accusing them of undermining national security.
All of the council’s senior members except for Nobel Prize-winning writer Svetlana Alexievich have been either jailed or forcibly expelled from the country. Unidentified people attempted Wednesday to enter Alexievich’s apartment in Minsk, and diplomats from several European Union nations gathered there to prevent her detention and again on Thursday evening.


Well, it seems things are still excessively ugly for Belarusians. What's gonna happen on Sunday when another large mass will gather in their capital city to urge the authority to make changes and new elections and release the detainees? Confused

AP news Wrote:In an interview with Russian television stations earlier this week, Lukashenko ruled out a full merger of Belarus and Russia but spoke in favor of closer integration.
 
From a practical point of view, Serious that's pretty much the same to Belarusians.

China will double its arsenal of nuclear warheads
https://www.foxnews.com/tech/china-will-...eport-says
Pentagon Wrote:United States believes it is time for China to participate in nuclear arms control.

This is extremely dangerous to say the least. Sad

Here's the official Pentagon report.

Fox News Wrote:The report specifies China’s fast increase in the number of warheads arming Beijing’s intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of threatening America will likely grow to 200 in the next five years. As an element of this expansion, China is increasing its inventory of long-range land-fired DF-26 Anti-Ship missiles able to fire both conventional and nuclear missiles.

Since the first wave of the new crown epidemic in Wuhan, China has already survived the impact of the new crown epidemic several times.

Huh? So they're planning to go through this over and over again just because they need no vaccines!?
They surely hate their own people. Confused

Fox News Wrote:On Monday, the NHC reported just 10 new virus cases, all of which were said to be imported, across 31 provinces and the “Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps on the Chinese mainland.” Asymptomatic cases are counted separately and tallied 39, all, likewise, said to be imported.

Really? Oh really? Then why they're so fixated on Xinjiang, the province where the Uighurs live. Serious Yes, they're the same that are forced to drink mysterious beverages the authorities claim are herbal medicines.

Democrats might not accept election results if Trump wins,
‘street battles’ could ensue: Atlantic writer

So even if he rightfully and legally wins next November, they will wreak havoc just because Biden didn't win!? Huh?
Are The Atlantic staff out of their minds? How could they let him incite people to spread chaos just like that? Confused
This seriously sound a lot like a communist party way to deal with losses.
What's next? Rigged polls to make sure only Democrats may ever enter the White House? Sad  

Fox News Wrote:Atlantic contributing writer Shadi Hamid wrote that he doesn’t believe “Trump is a fascist or a dictator in the making” and doesn’t consider America a “failed state,” but he does have one significant concern.
Yeah, that Democrats will just rebel because they can't stand Trump beating two Democrats in a row at the polls. Laughing

Fox News Wrote:“Democracy, after all, is supposed to self-correct after mistakes, particularly mistakes as egregious as electing Donald Trump — whose unfitness for the nation’s highest office makes itself apparent with almost every passing day,” he wrote.

So two peace deals in a month plus his attempt to help Ethiopia are not enough? Really?

Massive breakthrough: 155 mm howitzer artillery
destroys incoming cruise missile
https://www.foxnews.com/tech/massive-bre...se-missile
Shocked So now the US doesn't need as many missiles as before to stop dangerous cruise missiles thanks to this improvement! They can now do it with a “hypervelocity projectile” able to travel at speeds up to Mach 5. This also allows the military to move their forces based on the current enemy's targets. They already had a similar technology in their ships but providing their tanks with this innovation makes them more reliable than ever. Thinking Plus it's obviously easier to carry more of these brand new bullets than missiles. Oh and they're safe to transport for they don't need any nuclear component at all. Grinning

Sarcasm Of course, an extremist like that Atlantic writer will never admit Trump has managed to improve the response of the US military against foreign threats.


Facebook loses bid to avoid Australian legal action
over data mishandling claims
https://www.foxnews.com/tech/facebook-au...ca-lawsuit
Fox News Wrote:Facebook will not be able to avoid a multimillion-dollar lawsuit from Australia’s Privacy Commissioner over allegations it mishandled the personal information of more than 300,000 Australians after the Federal Court ruled against the social media giant today.
The Australian lawsuit alleges the company committed serious and repeated privacy breaches against its Australian users by allowing their information to be harvested by a researcher and sold to shadowy data firm Cambridge Analytica.
The tech giant had applied to “set aside” the Australian legal proceedings as it was not based in the country — an application dismissed today.


Good! Laughing They seriously deserved this! Happy with a sweat You see, they've affected +87 million users worldwide.

LA Sheriff Alex Villanueva challenges Lebron James
to match reward money for gunman who ambushed two deputies in Compton
https://www.foxnews.com/us/los-angeles-s...in-compton
LA Sheriff Alex Villanueva Wrote:This challenge is to Lebron James. I want you to match that and double that reward. I know you care about law enforcement. You expressed a very interesting statement about your perspective on race relations and on officer-involved shootings and the impact that it has on the African-American community. And I appreciated that but likewise, we need to appreciate that respect for life goes across all professions.
I'll be very curious to see what his response it, if any.

You see, Lebron James was quite vocal about condemning Police cops that are abusive or kill suspects illegally while claiming their victims are black predominantly. So will he also support cops that were cowardly shot by vile criminals as well?

Compton mayor changes tone in wake of
ambush shooting of sheriff's deputies

https://www.foxnews.com/us/compton-sheri...-aja-brown
Fox News Wrote:As the search continued Monday for a brazen gunman who ambushed two Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies, the anti-cop rhetoric from at least one local leader has softened.
Both deputies, shot in the head as they sat in a marked squad car, were initially listed in critical condition but have since stabilized and are expected to survive, according to multiple reports. In a statement released shortly after the shooting, Compton Mayor Aja Brown said she was “devastated to learn of the tragedy.”

If she hadn't changed her mind, I'd have started a campaign to kick her ass out of the Mayor's office if I were living in LA. Serious Seriously, this is only outcome you can get from promoting violent riots that endangered people's lives, including officers' and bystanders'.

Israel launches airstrikes in Syria on 9/11 to destroy missiles

https://www.foxnews.com/world/israel-lau...y-missiles

Fox News Wrote:It appears Israel launched airstrikes in northern Syria to destroy a missile production facility on Friday, the 19th anniversary of the terrorists attacks on the United States, according to a private Israeli intelligence firm.
It’s the first reported Israeli airstrikes in Syria since Aug. 31 and Sept. 2 when Israeli jets targeted the Damascus International Airport and T-4 Syrian military airbase, respectively.

They had attacked the Al Safirah missile compound outside the city of Aleppo, located closed to the border shared with Turkey. So why is this important? Well, that's because Hezbollah and Iran might be behind these proliferation of weapons in the Middle East.


Fox News Wrote:In 2018, American and western intelligence sources believed Iran had sent shipments of advanced weaponry to Hezbollah, deliveries that included Global Positioning System (GPS) components to make previously unguided rockets into precision guided-missiles, increasing the threat to Israel.

Brexit: Boris Johnson rails against EU
in push for new bill as Miliband hits back
https://www.foxnews.com/world/brexit-bor...d-bill-law
Fox News Wrote:The British prime minister described his Internal Market Bill to the House of Commons as an 'insurance policy'
Johnson said Monday that a planned law designed to override portions of the Brexit withdrawal agreement was needed because the EU might "go to extreme and unreasonable lengths" in its treatment of former member Britain.
"I have absolutely no desire to use these measures," Johnson told lawmakers as he introduced the Internal Market Bill in the House of Commons. "They are an insurance policy."
Ed Miliband, business spokesman for the opposition Labour Party, accused Johnson of "trashing the reputation of this country and trashing the reputation of his office."

Keep in mind that PM Boris Johnson once said he wouldn't allow EU to divide Britain by separating Northern Ireland from the rest of the United Kingdom via some third list countries export impediment. Why does he think Europeans want to reunify Ireland by trade policies is unknown to this sharkish reporter. Reporter

Fox News Wrote:Johnson claims the EU has threatened to use "an extreme interpretation" of the withdrawal agreement to "blockade" food shipments from the rest of the U.K. to Northern Ireland unless Britain agrees to accept EU regulations.

Huh? This is weird indeed. Why would they need to do it as if they were separate nations with no common past?

California's Governor Newsom thanks Trump for help with fires
At the urging on Newsom back in late August, Trump approved a disaster declaration for California and ordered federal funding to be directed to the state.
The president reiterated on Monday that California needs to do better forest management – a remark that Newsom acknowledged.
“We have not done justice to our forest management,” Newsom said. “We acknowledge our role and response.”

Kamala Harris accidentally touts plans under
a 'Harris administration' during virtual roundtable
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kamala-...roundtable
Fox News Wrote:Kamala Harris, Joe Biden's running mate in the 2020 election, raised eyebrows on Monday evening after she accidentally touted economic plans under a "Harris administration."
Speaking during a virtual roundtable with small business owners in Arizona, Harris vowed that they will have an ally in the White House with the campaign's "Build Back Better" initiative.
However, the California senator appeared to briefly suggest that she was at the top of the Democratic ticket.
"A Harris administration, together with Joe Biden as the president of the United States," she said. She quickly clarified, "The Biden-Harris administration will provide access to $100 billion in low-interest loans and investments from minority business owners."

Usually you just mention the president's name while talking about the incumbent administration no matter if you live in the US or Canada or even Costa Rica. Plan The way she kept insisting in adding her surname to the ticket should make us suspect Biden is a mere decoy or Ghost ghost. So is Harris pretending to be the first female president by kicking out Biden who seriously looks as if he couldn't even remember basic terms like the constitution? "You know, the thing." Laughing

Chinese defector virologist Dr Li-Meng Yan
publishes report claiming COVID-19 was made in a lab

The Australian Wrote:Doctor Li-Meng Yan, a scientist who studied some of the available data on COVID-19 has published her claims on Zenodo, an open access digital platform. She wrote that she believed COVID-19 could have been “conveniently created” within a lab setting over a period of just six months, and “SARS-CoV-2 shows biological characteristics that are inconsistent with a naturally occurring, zoonotic virus”.
“The natural origin theory, although widely accepted, lacks substantial support,” Dr Yan writes in the report.
“The alternative theory that the virus may have come from a research laboratory is, however, strictly censored on peer-reviewed scientific journals. Nonetheless, SARS-CoV-2 shows biological characteristics that are inconsistent with a naturally occurring, zoonotic virus.”

Well, the defector had studied it with her colleagues and were amazed at how impossible this combination of features could appear on a natural virus. What other virus has demonstrated to be this potent and able to mutate and affect as many organs as SARS-CoV-2? Confused It can severely damage your lungs, your brain, yes, your brain as well, your heart, your intestines, your kidney... Not even Ebola-Chan ebola nor Plague-Chan the plague nor Virus AIDS can do that!

You didn't know Covid-19 could also hurt your brain cells? Confused I guess you'd need to read the following article.

The new coronavirus can infect brain cells, study finds
https://www.livescience.com/brain-invasi...virus.html
Live Science Wrote:The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 can sometimes hijack brain cells, using the cells' internal machinery to copy itself, according to a new study.

The research, posted Sept. 8 to the preprint database bioRxiv, has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal, but it provides evidence that SARS-CoV-2 can directly infect brain cells called neurons. Although the coronavirus has been linked to various forms of brain damage, from deadly inflammation to brain diseases known as encephalopathies, all of which can cause confusion, brain fog and delirium, there was little evidence of the virus itself invading brain tissue until now.
While setting up shop in infected cells, the virus also caused metabolic changes in nearby neurons, which were not infected. These nearby cells died off in large numbers, suggesting that the infected cells might steal oxygen from their neighbors in order to keep producing new virus, the authors noted.
Finally, in the mouse experiments, the authors genetically modified one group of mice to express human ACE2 receptors in their brains, while another group of mice only bore the receptor in their lungs. The first set of mice rapidly began losing weight and died within six days, while the second set did not lose weight and survived. In addition, in the mice with brain infection, the arrangement of blood vessels in the brain changed dramatically, presumably to redirect nutrient-rich blood to "metabolically active hot spots" where the virus had taken over, the authors wrote.

Fear This virus is definitely a killer. Killer Let's hope nobody's neurons get infected at all. Worried

Surgeon General Jerome Adams Wrote:There will be no shortcuts. This vaccine will be safe. It will be effective. Or it won't get moved along. And when a vaccine is either approved or authorized by the FDA, I and my family will be in line to get it.

Bill Gates tells Chris Wallace Trump's travel ban may have worsened coronavirus pandemic

Fox News Wrote:On Jan. 31, Trump issued a travel ban on China after the coronavirus broke out in Wuhan before issuing others in February and March, banning travel from Europe and other countries with coronavirus outbreaks.
"We created this rush, and we didn’t have the ability to test or quarantine those people," the billionaire philanthropist said.

Thinking Tell me, how exactly does banning tourists from China and Europe accelerate the virus spread if they can't enter the country and pay a visit to anybody in the US?

Democrats and its longstanding dream of packing the US Supreme Court with their nominees
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dems-ba...rt-packing
They warn that they will add extra Justices to the Supreme Court if a Trump nominee gets confirmed this year. This includes Kamala Harris and even Joe Biden himself. Curiously, Biden had said in 2019 he wouldn't support that initiative. Shocked So Biden can't keep his own word!

By the way, Ginsburg herself was against packing the court. Judge

former Justice Ginsburg Wrote:Nine seems to be a good number. It's been that way for a long time. I think it was a bad idea when President Franklin Roosevelt tried to pack the court. Well, if anything would make the court appear partisan, it would be that. One side saying, 'When we're in power, we're going to enlarge the number of judges, so we would have more people who will vote the way we want them to.

I hope the Dems will respect her opinion on that. Grinning Eventually... Confused

19th-century Maya slave ship wreck discovered off Mexico
https://www.foxnews.com/science/19th-cen...red-mexico
Fox News Wrote:The shipwreck was found in 2017 about two nautical miles off Sisal, Yucatan, according to Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH). After three years of research in Mexico, Cuba, and Spain, the ship has been identified as the 19th-century steamer “La Union.”
“Between 1855 and 1861, it carried to Cuba a monthly average of 25 and 30 Mayans, captured in war or deceived with false documents,” explained INAH in a statement.
They claimed they've found evidence that slavery continued even after Mexico had abolished it back in 1829. Confused So a Mayan was worth some 160 or 120 pesos. Shocked  

Amazon employees and a Bribery
https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/s...ty-sellers
Fox News Wrote:Each of the defendants provided consulting services to vendors on Amazon’s marketplace, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Seattle, and they collectively paid more than $100,000 in bribes to the e-commerce giant's workers.
The people charged include two former Amazon workers who prosecutors say bribed company employees to reinstate the sale of products deemed inferior or even dangerous.
They also reportedly worked to attack clients’ rivals and used inside access to suspend accounts and share proprietary details about Amazon’s algorithms for listings.
In exchange for the money, Amazon insiders provided the defendants with access to proprietary Amazon data and -- in some cases -- credentialed access to the company’s systems, prosecutors asserted.
At least 10 Amazon employees and contractors accepted bribes in the scheme, prosecutors said.

Thinking So if I've got some extra Cash cash to burn I should contact them and ask them nicely to help me boost my sales and affect my rivals' no matter what? Confused What if Amazon ignores it's selling faulty products?
