Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has reassured settler leaders in the West Bank that he is willing to stand up to American pressure, describing his three “No’s” to President Biden’s requests made at their meeting on August 26. A report on Bennett’s description of his pushback is here: “Bennett tells settlers he said no 3 times to Biden, on Iran, consulate, building,” by Shalom Yerushalmi, Times of Israel, September 27, 2021: Prime Minister Naftali Bennett recently told settler leaders that he pushed back against United States President Joe Biden on Iran’s nuclear program, the reopening of the American consulate...

Question for military experts. I just saw a raw satellite feed of Sleepy Joe's sidekick Kamala getting on an airplane. The military guys at the bottom of the stairs were standing still in a salute. Um, maybe it is just me, but I do not recall ever seeing a person presumed to be the vice-president being saluted by men in uniform....that person is not the commander in chief. Am I wrong?

Colombo (AFP) - The Sri Lankan government on Friday ended price controls on essential foods in a bid to end black market trading as food shortages worsen amid a foreign currency crisis. The cabinet decided to free prices for milk powder, wheat flour, sugar and liquified petroleum gas hoping it would increase supplies. "Prices could go up by as much as 37 percent across the board, but it is hoped dealers will not make unconscionable profits," a trade ministry official told AFP. A shortage of foreign currency caused by a pandemic recession has unleashed the shortages of food, medicines and...

Anal cancer, like cervical cancer, is usually caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is among the most common sexually transmitted infections, and most people acquire one or more strains of the virus not long after they become sexually active. Previous research has shown that people with HIV have more types of cancer-causing HPV and are less likely to naturally clear the virus. What’s more, they tend to experience more rapid progression from low-grade cell changes to precancerous dysplasia (known as high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, or HSIL) to invasive cancer. Even people on effective antiretroviral therapy with an undetectable viral load...

Our shocking slide into the surreal world of leftist leadership has led to this: American parents are the enemy. Big Education and a weaponized Department of Justice are going after the very people who should have the most say in public education. School boards and public school administrators, like in Loudoun County, Virginia, where I live, have faced unprecedented informed dissent from parents of every background. Instead of acting like public servants, they act like the petty gods of Mount Olympus recklessly wielding their (unconstitutional) power as they try to strike down (e.g. silence, fire, dox and demonize) anyone who...

President Biden bragged that he personally called a Pennsylvania hospital emergency room to know “what the situation was” after a friend’s wife failed to receive immediate care because the waiting room was so backed up. Biden said Thursday he intervened after a “good friend” called him Wednesday night to say he’d rushed his partner to the hospital because she was having trouble breathing and had a high fever. “They got her into the hospital, but the waiting room was so crowded, things were so backed up, they couldn’t even get her to be seen initially,” Biden said during a speech...

A parents group is questioning Attorney General Merrick Garland’s decision to open an investigation into purported threats and acts of violence against school boards across the U.S. after the group discovered that the attorney general’s son-in-law is the co-founder of an education company that uses critical race theory in its work. ... “His daughter is married to the cofounder of @PanoramaEd which is under fire for its multimillion contracts with school boards,” she added. “At @DefendingEd, parents sent us tips. We raised the alarm. Now Garland is trying to silence parents.”

This guy is every vegetarian’s worst nightmare. Nebraska resident Weston Rowe has been consuming a raw meat-based diet, including raw chicken, for the last three years and has no plans to stop. Rowe, 39, eats raw, protein-rich foods such as beef, liver, chicken and other animal organs. All products are locally sourced from dairy and poultry farms. He believes that the diet has helped raise his energy levels — despite many warnings about infections including dangerous salmonella. “I am in better health both physically and mentally, better than I’ve ever been in my life,” Rowe told Caters News Agency. He...

People in the socialist left ruled State of Victoria live in fear of police violence and a corrupt court system backing them up. https://youtu.be/9TjgGJHDVxo They threw Cardinal George Pell, the number 4 man in the Vatican under both conservative Benedict and ultra-liberal Francis, into jail for over 400 days in a judgement overturned 7 to 0 by the High Court. I live in fear. And in hope that conservative proudly revivalist Christian Prime Minister Scott Morrison (ScoMo) will stand up against them and defend human rights (https://freedom-demokrasi-and-civilised-humanity.com/2021/09/21/lockdowns-a-human-rights-crisis/) and human life. Just as Americans can be proud of the consistent stand...

A new report from The Wall Street Journal says that contingents of U.S. special operations forces and U.S. Marines have been making more regular rotational deployments to Taiwan for at least a year now. This news comes a day after Chiu Kuo Cheng, the island's defense minister, said publicly that Chinese forces would be capable of launching a "full-scale" invasion operation across the Taiwan Strait with far fewer risks than they face now by 2025.

According to the 2021 World Nuclear Industry Status Report, global nuclear power generation dropped 3.9 percent in 2020 despite a 4.4 percent climb in China, where two new reactors were added. In 2021, 415 reactors were operational around the world – 22 fewer than in 2011. Another 26 are currently in long-term storage and 53 are under construction – around half in China and India. The rapid expansion of renewables and negative public sentiment towards nuclear energy created by disasters such as those in Chernobyl or Fukushima have been turning nuclear power into an also-ran of global energy generation. Nuclear...

The most famous case of a released laboratory strain is the re-emergent H1N1 influenza A virus which was first observed in China in May of 1977 and in Russia shortly thereafter. This outbreak marked the return of a seasonal H1N1 human influenza virus after a nearly 20-year absence following its displacement during the 1957 H2N2 pandemic. Scientists quickly realized that something was unusual about this re-emergent H1N1 strain; it was genetically similar, though not identical, to an H1N1 isolate from 1950. Initially it was suggested that this virus could have lain dormant or evolved slowly in non-human hosts for decades,...

China has expressed "grave concerns" about a U.S. submarine that hit an unknown object in the South China Sea last week. Foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said on Friday that China urged the U.S. to provide details, its purpose of cruising, and whether it caused a nuclear leak or damaged the marine environment, the state-owned newspaper Global Times reported. U.S. officials, speaking anonymously to the Associated Press, on Thursday said that an American nuclear submarine hit the object while submerged in waters in the South China Sea, injuring 11 sailors on board. The submarine remains "fully operational" the officials said,...

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-NY) praised Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for “calling out the intellectual laziness of Sen. Manchin when he said that I think 1.5 trillion should do it and we don’t want to move towards what he called an entitlement society.” And said that he “thought we had advanced beyond such outdated notions.”

Here's a jarring thought: Most political analysts, and most political strategists for our two political parties, have been operating off flawed data and flawed assumptions. The result has been one political surprise after another, and the election of the two most unsatisfactory presidents, in the minds of many voters, since Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan in the 1850s. The flawed data has been apparent for some years, since a June 9, 2016, column by New York Times election analyst Nate Cohn. As he recently reprised in a Twitter thread, his argument was that there are more noncollege white voters in...

Here were the main metrics from the report, compared to consensus estimates compiled by Bloomberg: Change in non-farm payrolls, September: +194,000 vs. +500,000 expected and a revised +366,000 in August Unemployment rate: 4.8% vs. 5.1% expected, 5.2% in August Average hourly earnings, month-over-month: 0.6% vs. 0.4% expected and a revised 0.4% in August Average hourly earnings, year-over-year: 4.6% vs. 4.6% expected and a revised 4.0% in August Non-farm payrolls were expected to pick up from August's much...

The energy crisis in Europe exposed the complexity of a transition to green energy: it is not happening overnight, and it cannot be done successfully with the old tricks. Energy systems, markets, and grids globally need fundamental changes to legislation, regulation, and oversight in order to accommodate 100-percent zero-emission sources. And even in that case, power systems need flexibility and backups in order to avert similar crises down the road as many parts of the world commit to net-zero emissions by 2050 or 2060. The current crisis in the UK is a cautionary tale about how not to rush to...
