    CONCORD, NH -- Two days before a once-mission-critical primary in a state she neighbors, Sen. Elizabeth Warren - typically exceptional at holding a room - had not finished speaking when something unusual happened: Dozens of voters began filtering out of the middle school gym she had reserved. Campaign staff strained to enlist prospective volunteers on their way to their cars. “Someone, anyone,” one organizer called out as departing guests stepped around him. And when Warren wound toward her big finish, the go-out-and-get-’em kicker in these urgent final hours, her mind wandered accidentally to home. “It’s up to you, Massachusetts, to...

    With President Donald Trump threatening to make real inroads into the black vote, will Democrats dare to nominate a candidate who has made racially biased statements? It is one thing to say that minorities commit crime at relatively high rates compared to whites, but it is something quite different to falsely claim that minorities commit virtually all murders. For a candidate who has already spent an astounding $350 million on his campaign -- more than all of his opponents combined -- it might be hard for his political opponents to get a word in edgewise. But, even as polls are...

    Love him or loathe him, U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace proposal for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has formalized a seismic shift in Mideast geopolitics; one that has been roiling and brewing since 2009. The so-called “Obama doctrine” in the Middle East was intended to re-calibrate American influence in the region, and its key strategy seemed to be to fete and kowtow to Iran, in the belief that “respect” would moderate the murderous mullahs. It did not. The mullahs grinned, Secretary Kerry bowed and scraped, and Iran continued to foment war with its proxies and maintain its distinction as the pre-eminent financier...

    or more than half a century, governments all over the world trusted a single company to keep the communications of their spies, soldiers and diplomats secret. The company, Crypto AG, got its first break with a contract to build code-making machines for U.S. troops during World War II. Flush with cash, it became a dominant maker of encryption devices for decades, navigating waves of technology from mechanical gears to electronic circuits and, finally, silicon chips and software. The Swiss firm made millions of dollars selling equipment to more than 120 countries well into the 21st century. Its clients included Iran,...

    PHILADELPHIA — On a brisk January morning Markus Mitchell arrives at his desk at 8:30, his phone ringing before he can even log in to his computer. An employee at the giant nonprofit where Mr. Mitchell works is locked out of the organization’s network and needs the 24-year-old’s help. Mr. Mitchell became a full-fledged employee at JEVS Human Services in Philadelphia in October, after a year as an apprentice. Just three years ago, he was making $13,000 working in the kitchen at a Chick-fil-A, feeling unsure about his future. Landing the $38,000-a-year position was the latest step in a rapid...

    “The Hunt” will be released in roughly a month. The movie was pulled indefinitely by Universal back in August after a mass shooting in Texas and Ohio. The plot of the film revolves around “deplorables,” who appear to be from middle America, being hunted by elites. Now, the public will finally get a chance to see it. Producer Jason Blum told the Hollywood Reporter in a piece published Tuesday that the movie with Emma Roberts will finally be released March 13. I never understood the outrage about this movie when it was first being marketed. The rural Americans are clearly...

    The only answer you need is, the authentic Cajun music of the "Louisiana Story" Movie (1948). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iR5sC3pgC4. Thompson's music arrangement and his musicology of fine folk, traditional and historical music, are first rate, ranking him with Joaquin Rodrigo and Ottorino Respighi.Thompson replied, "no I'm not" and walked out of the interview on the air.

    Deutsche Welle ^ | 02.11.2020 | es/ng (AFP, dpa)
    A new poll carried out in the wake of a far-right scandal in Thuringia has shown impressive gains in support for the Left party and a significant tumble for Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats (CDU) in the eastern state. The poll was conducted by infratest dimap and commissioned by the public broadcaster MDR. The CDU in has been accused of colluding with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) in Thuringia to get a conservative candidate elected state premier, despite the fact that his party — the laissez-faire Free Democrats (FDP) — barely cleared the 5% hurdle to get into Thuringia’s...

    Pete Buttigieg slammed President Donald Trump and Democratic rival Mike Bloomberg on Tuesday as he waited for results from New Hampshire's primary. The former mayor of South Bend spent the morning dropping off donuts at polling places and doing TV interviews. He told NBC's 'Today Show' that President Trump can't 'figure out what to do with me.' 'I don’t think he can figure out what to do with me, and that’s fine by me. I’m not that focused on this president’s approach because they always do the same thing. He’s going to find a vulnerability, and if he can’t, he’ll...

  • Bill Gates Reportedly Buys $644 Million Aqua Yacht, Shipbuilder Says Sale Hasn’t Happened Yet

    Bill Gates has reportedly ordered himself a gigantic yacht. According to the The New York Post, the Telegraph reported that Gates had ordered the $644 million Aqua yacht from the Dutch design firm Sinot. However, Sinot told the New York Post no deal has been done just yet. Still, if something is in the works, the yacht sounds absurd. Whether or not Gates ever takes control of Aqua, it’s such a power move to even consider spending $644 million on a boat. I’ve always been obsessed with yachts. I’m not even sure why, but I just think they’re awesome. A...

    George Orwell noted the nervousness of people on the left when confronted by those even further to the left. This nervousness stems from leftists’ fear that they will be taken for impure in their own leftism, that their thought and actions don’t go far enough, that they are, finally, not really on the bus. In America during the 1930s, Communists mocked liberals for their weakness, and liberals worried about not measuring up. Hence the phenomenon of the “fellow traveler,” someone who sympathized with the Communist Party but couldn’t bring himself to join it. Orwell’s observation remains in play. In the...

    Pangolins carry a 99% identical coronavirus, report Chinese scientists GUANGZHOU, China––Will the Wuhan coronavirus, newly linked to pangolins, save one of the world’s most endangered animals? Headlines over the weekend of February 8-9, 2020 amplified global panic that the number of confirmed Wuhan coronavirus deaths had soared beyond the 2003 toll from severe acute respiratory syndrome [SARS], and within another day topped 1,000. But word came almost simultaneously from the South China Agricultural University in Guangzhou, capital city of Guangdong province, that researchers Shen Yongyi and Xiao Lihua may have positively identified the source of the mysterious coronavirus, known to...
