One of Beijing's enduring hobbies is accusing Washington of violating or abusing international law. This selective outrage is justifiably ignored, given China’s unwillingness to abide by international law and disregard for U.N. arbitration concerning demarcation in the South China Sea. “International law with Chinese characteristics” was easily mocked and ignored when American deterrence and international safeguards stymied Beijing’s ambitions. Unfortunately, that security architecture is unraveling. In 2009, China began to make expansive claims vis-à-vis the South China Sea when it unveiled its infamous nine-dash line, which claimed vast swathes of maritime territory. In 2016, the U.N.-backed Permanent Court of Arbitration...

Iran is seeking to create “strategic depth” in the Mediterranean Sea, Iranian military adviser Yahya Safavi said in a recent speech. This appears to admit Tehran’s larger ambitions in the region.Iran has already taken over swaths of Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, using proxies, and it has operationalized the Houthis in Yemen to attack ships in the Red Sea. Tehran also backs Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas. It now appears to have even larger ambitions.Safavi is a former commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He now works as a military adviser to the Iranian regime and has an academic role...

Customers of Ethiopia's largest bank had a nice surprise this week when a glitch allowed them to withdraw unlimited funds. More than $40 million was withdrawn from the state-owned Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) or transferred to other banks, and recouping it isn't going to be easy... By the time the bank realized what was going on and froze transactions a few hours later, more than 2.4 billion Ethiopian birr (around $40 million) had been withdrawn or moved to other banks... much of the money had been withdrawn by students. News that the CBE was giving away unlimited money spread...

Biden said the planned release of 60 million barrels of global oil reserves... “will help blunt gas prices here at home.” But energy experts said the emergency measures aren’t enough to have an impact. He said the economy added 369,000 manufacturing jobs last year, which is about right. But the manufacturing sector hasn’t recovered all the jobs lost during the pandemic, and manufacturing job growth (3.1%) is slower than overall job growth (4.6%). The president said “our economy created over 6.5 million new jobs just last year, more jobs in one year than ever before.” That’s true based on raw...

Biometrics are transforming the way we travel. The technology, which identifies travelers using unique physical traits like fingerprints and faces, is becoming more common at airports in the United States. As a result, time-consuming rituals that once required repeated ID checks — such as bag dropping, security screening and boarding — are getting easier and faster. Some experts believe that this will be the year that biometric use, primarily facial recognition, becomes standard at many airports. The technology offers several advantages: enhanced security, quicker processing of passengers and a more convenient airport experience. It also raises concerns about privacy, ethics...

Why in Arizona as opposed to Texas? Most of the dramatic footage you see of people crossing the Rio Grande, tens of thousands of people in giant caravans, that's happening in Texas. The answer is, because the Tucson sector, which is where we are right now, is actually one of the top sites in the nation, not only for illegal immigration, it is the number one site for fentanyl trafficking across the border. How much fentanyl is crossing our southern border? The answer is, we actually don't know. In 2023, there were 27, 000 pounds of fentanyl seized at the...

1 / 6 It was -22° F on a December night in 1980 when 19-year-old Jean Hilliard’s car skidded off a side road in Lengby, Minnesota. The teen was on the way back home to her parents’ house and was wearing a coat, mittens, and cowboy boots. The car was truly stuck, so she decided to walk to a nearby friend’s house. She collapsed a mere 15 feet from his door as hypothermia took hold. The friend, Wally Nelson, found her the following morning; she was frozen solid. “I grabbed her by the collar and skidded her into the porch....

In March, in a joint resolution, Congress directed the president to terminate military hostilities against Iran unless authorized by Congress. ..President Donald Trump vetoed the measure, and Congress lacked the votes to override. During recent decades, such has often been the end result of legislative efforts to limit presidential war making... The 1973 War Powers Resolution took effect when Congress’s actual powers to declare war, appropriate funds, and organize the armed forces were at a low point.... Consecutive administrations have expanded the executive branch’s authority to use military force, and Congress has often become sidelined in the process. This reality...

It also marks the first rise in births since 2014. Prior to this report, the number of births had been decreasing by an average of 2% per year. The report did not explain why the number of births increased, but Pew Research Center polls have suggested Americans delayed having babies during the first year of the pandemic due to public health and economic uncertainty, so the rising number could be the result of a rebound. "When it comes to changes in fertility behavior, we're limited," Dr. Brady Hamilton, from the NCHS Division of Vital Statistics and lead author of the...

ChatGPT https://poe.com/, analysis of Genesis 3, of tactics of the devil, and how it relates to political rulers (asked last night). [Question] In the Bible, the devil (Lucifer, Satan, the serpent ) is described as a selfish being, seeking dominion and power (Isaiah 14:13, 14; John 10:10) After being cast down from Heaven due to his selfish presumptuous assertion that he would take his place on his creators throne (seat of power), he was cast down to earth where he tempted Eve - the first women, and husband of Adam and who had been given dominion over the earth -...

The former Kentucky clerk who refused to grant a gay couple a marriage license must pay an additional $260,104 to the couple, a federal judge ruled last week. David Ermold and David Moore sued former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis in 2015 after she declined to issue the couple a marriage license because doing so would violate “God’s definition of marriage” and her religious beliefs as a Christian. The additional fees Davis must pay are on top of the $100,000 in damages she was ordered to pay Ermold and Moore in September after losing the lawsuit the couple brought. Davis’s...

Partly, by responding that scientific discovery and knowledge does not warrant the premise that the universe and everything therein can (at least someday) all be attributed to purely natural processes.Meaning that the atheist/antitheist position claim that there is no Creator/God, is one lacking in evidential warrant and requires great faith. For it can only presume that an exceedingly vast, systematically ordered, intricate universe,* exquisitely finely tuned for earthly life with its extensive diversity and astounding complexity, came to be by known (or potentially known), purely natural demonstrable powers, as if it was Divine, without any supreme supernatural intelligence behind it.And...

A jury on Friday convicted of Stacey Vaillancourt of manslaughter and child cruelty in the 2019 death of Harper Rose Briar in Vaillancourt's home in Rutland. The 6-month-old was found unresponsive while in Vaillancourt's care, and an autopsy determined she had high concentrations of diphenhydramine, the sedating ingredient in some over-the-counter antihistamines including the brand Benadryl. The drug is not recommended for infants without a doctor's order, and there was no such order for Harper... Vaillancourt, who denied giving the infant anything that wasn't provided by her parents, was released on an unsecured appearance bond.
