Insider Brief Chinese researchers, using a D-Wave quantum computer, claim to have executed what they are calling the first successful quantum attack on widely used encryption algorithms, posing a “real and substantial threat” to sectors like banking and the military, as reported by SCMP.

Francis Takes Revenge on the (True) AfricansFrancis has often expressed his alleged "love for the peripheries", writes Carlos Esteban on InfoVaticana.com (10 October).But this love does not include the peripheries of black Africa, perhaps because the continent has rejected Francis' homosexual manifesto "Fidicia supplicans".For Esteban, it is a "striking anomaly" that Cameroon, with 4 million Catholics, a quarter of the population, has more than 1,200 priests and as many seminarians in formation, but not a single prelate in the College of Cardinals.Nor does fertile Benin, with its three million Catholics, almost eight hundred priests and more than a thousand nuns.Not...

As a Black man, I found his comments on racial justice and unity to be out of touch with the real struggles we face. Question, why are black men being lectured by Obama?
