• US shares see their biggest weekly gain in 46 years

  Exit Bernie, the coronavirus slows, the media finds itself weaker, and suddenly things rebound. We might just not end up eating our shoe leather after all.

• Deadly giant Asian Hornets that can ‘kill with one sting’ are heading to the UK

  Diversity as usual. Invasive species have none of the burden of specific adaptation that domestic species do. For that reason, invasive species take over, and then die out, leaving a void.

• Taiwan rebuffs accusations it racially attacked WHO chief

  Mentioning that this virus originated in China causes panic and accusations that the virus originated somewhere else. Why it is this controversial? Oh, right: China guards the Left.

• Russia-connected group pushed fake documents aimed at political flashpoints, researchers say

  China-Russia continuing to try to destabilize the rest of the world so that they can take it over, even if as usual their dreams of empire will end in dust.

• Minnesota Bids to Segregate its Child‐​Welfare Agencies

  Leftists want to redirect all aid to minorities. They hide this behind anti-poverty programs. Can we admit the the Left is simply buying voters at this point?

• U.S. agencies recommend revoking ability of China Telecom to operate in U.S

  The Left wants to hide the fact that China is the enemy, or at least an enemy, and everything they do is designed to subvert, weaken, and subjugate us.

• A 50,000-year-old piece of string hints at Neanderthal intelligence, scientists say

  We filled in “history” to support our current illusions. Actual history is broader and deeper than our Leftist-tinged simplistic retelling.

• Wanted urgently: People who know a half century-old computer language so states can process unemployment claims

  We add new technologies instead of refining the old. Sometimes, this comes back to bite us. If you are interested, study COBOL so that you can keep this aging edifice of lies afloat for another tax cycle.

• Georgia elections chief launches effort against mail-in voting fraud

  Leftist voter fraud has been widespread for some time. Now in our Leftist media, it seems to be taboo to mention it. Democracy always undoes itself with the excuse that any act is justifiable in pursuit of more democracy and equality. That was how they justified the guillotines and gulags, anyway.

• Astronomers Just Released an Unprecedented Image of a Jet Shooting From a Black Hole

  The theory of the past dies in solitude as we discover how much of the universe we can observe, throwing out those convenient theories that argued for chaos and death as “enlightenment,” even in seemingly innocuous sciences.

• Exclusive: Russia collecting intelligence on U.S. supply line failures amid coronavirus crisis, DHS warns

  People want to blame Trump, but the middle management layer of America shows that it caused the weakness here. Meritocracy seems to produce lots of incompetents who are really good at memorizing stuff for tests.

• Saudi-Mexican clash halts record oil cut deal despite Trump pressure

  Why fight wars for oil? So these idiots cannot hold your economy hostage.

• Asia cracks down on virus ‘fake news’

  Democracy means that media becomes king because people act on what they are told. That in turn requires a censorship regimen in order to avoid having people defect from the dominant paradigm.

• New, larger wave of locusts threatens millions in Africa

  Nature wants fewer humans. A refugee wave of unprecedented proportions will head to Europe soon.

• US bars Google from enabling high-speed internet link to Hong Kong citing national security risk

  Giving China even more access to our citizens would be an error. The notion of the globalist world connected by an open network has died. Every group does what benefits it, and so the more we unite, the more we divide.

• Crew of prehistoric monkeys rafted across the Atlantic to South America

  Migration predates humanity.

• Oakland officers lose discipline hearing over fatal shooting

  Pawlik was found unconscious with a gun between two houses. Police said he raised the gun and pointed it at them when four officers opened fire.

  Aim guns at police, and they tend to shoot you. This offends the notion of individualism, where each person deserves a special exception from standards because they are individuals, so there must be a struggle session, show trial, and coverup.

• Mafia distributes food to Italy’s struggling residents

  Mafias do the same thing that the Left does, for the same reasons. Maybe we should send all of these people to Venezuela and be free of their meddling.

• 200,000 apply for France’s ‘agricultural army’ as virus grounds migrants

  Having bumped its proles up to office jobs, Europe now depends on cheap labor from afar. This is as fragile as it is transient.

• Holocaust denier David Irving to be blacklisted in Lithuania

  Denier, or revisionist? The official narrative of WW2 is falling, and with it, the Soviet-UK drama which overstates the Holocaust, cheapening it in the process. The backlash will erase this story and replace it with one which our leaders will not like, echoing events in the USSR shortly before its fall.

• Wildlife destruction ‘not a slippery slope but a series of cliff edges’

  Destruction occurs in stages as we remove each part of the ecosystem. Leaving half of the Earth for nature would avoid this.

• ‘A huge step forward.’ Mutant enzyme could vastly improve recycling of plastic bottles

  Plastics covered the world in trash. Consuming them might improve our situation.

• France rules Google must pay news firms for content

  When the panic ends, people will see that Silicon Valley has been selling worthless advertising for some time. Business can exist without it. The wolves are circling as the empire of nonsense collapses.

• Not having children a way to cut a person’s carbon footprint, some environmental groups say

  This makes the same dumb mistake as Hungary does by subsidizing births. People are not equal; you want the good to breed more, not the bad. The best way to do this is by cutting taxes.

• US-Mexico border: Thousands of migrants expelled under coronavirus powers

  Delicious.

• Delivery services help curb panic buying in Korea

  How incompetent is a society that demands everyone stay at home, then cannot arrange delivery of necessities? Our bureaucrats are bunglers.

• With tourists gone, Africa’s conservationists brace for the worst

  It feels so good to virtue signal with a vacation. Why not help native species in your own land? Oh, right, no social media cred for that one.

• US blasts China for ‘unlawful claims’ in South China Sea during pandemic

  Its economy began imploding a decade ago, and since that time, China has been planning for war.

• Satellite Imagery Shows Chinese Navy In Pakistan

  Alliances form as everyone seems to be scheming to take over the world.

• Migrant ship intercepted at sea is barred from disembarking in Libya: IOM

  Libya keeps pumping migrants into Europe. This will only end when Europe stops accepting any of them.

• China suffers its second launch failure in less than a month

  As much as the democratic West may be slobs, the Chinese rival them for disaster intensity.

• U.S. consumer prices post largest drop in five years amid coronavirus disruptions

  Decrease demand and prices drop. Imagine what would happen if we cut entitlements.

• Jane Goodall calls for global ban on wildlife trade and end to ‘destructive and greedy period of human history’

  Humans will eat anything they can, and exploit anything they can, until there are consequences for doing so, like widespread social disapproval.

• Cloanto Licenses Commodore 65 ROM For The Upcoming Mega 65

  Those old machines were not user-friendly, but they were user-configurable. Windows and OS X cannot compare.

• China’s US$1 trillion consumer loan bubble is bursting as army of borrowers flinch under pandemic strain

  The Paper Tiger economy built itself on promises. Those are now evaporating. War will result.

• Ebola patient dies in Congo, first case in 50 days

  Not to miss out on the pandemic news juice, Ebola returns with fresh horrors.
