Police finally asks lawmakers to enable prosecution of Babiš

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 13 hours ago
*Will he win the October elections while arrested?* Andrej Babiš, a Slovak billionaire, a former communist cadre, an ex-agent of the communist secret police, and the Czech finance minister up to Spring, was fired by the social democratic prime minister Sobotka a few months ago, in a series of events that looked like a farce mainly because Sobotka repeatedly changed his opinions how to deal with the problem named Babiš. The reasons were numerous. At least at the level of economic morality that Babiš – and Sobotka – loudly demand from everyone else, there was no doubt that Babiš has ... more »

Sounds, Furies, and Nothing-Burgers

Karen Garcia at Sardonicky - 13 hours ago
Just hours after publishing my previous post on the media going crazy over the dearth of news coming out of Trump's New Jersey golf club, he obligingly made them even crazier by seeming to threaten a nuclear attack on North Korea. Or, as he colorfully put it, "fire and fury like the world has never seen." That would presumably include Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and it definitely surpasses the Mother of All Bombs which he recently dropped on some old CIA tunnels in Afghanistan. Trump apparently believes mainstream news reports hinting that North Korea already possesses full nuclear capa... more »

Andrew Coyne writes that, for those who thought -- despite his flaws -- Donald Trump would be a better occupant of the White House than Hillary Clinton, the truth has come home to roost: Those who had convinced themselves that, whatever Trump’s manifest unfitness for office, “at least he isn’t Hillary,” if they had not already repented of their folly over the previous six months, must surely do so now. (He said with no conviction whatever.) The presidency is not a ceremonial post; neither is it a program of policy. It is a command centre, with decisions to be made, many on short n... more »

Corporations save billions as Americans die younger

Erin Elizabeth at Health Nut News - 16 hours ago
Americans are dying younger despite our previous improvements in American life expectancy. For companies who pay out on pensions this could be good news: If people don’t end up living as long as they were projected to just a few years ago, employers won’t have to pay them as much in pension and other lifelong retirement benefits.

California decided it was tired of women bleeding to death in childbirth

Erin Elizabeth at Health Nut News - 16 hours ago
In this country, women die far too often during childbirth because ultimately, women’s health isn’t valued. Case in point, placenta accreta. In a normal pregnancy, the placenta develops inside the uterus, attaches to the uterine wall, and then is flushed out of the body after the birth. However, with accreta, which doctors believe is most often

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* The threat everyone forgets about. *North Korea’s chemical-weapons threat is real and the likelihood of their use in wartime is high. Once war is underway, the best way for U.S./South Korean forces to mitigate their effects would be to degrade North Korea’s command and control and take the offensive. If the NK general staff is unable to send orders and receive accurate intelligence, it will find it difficult to plan chemical strikes.
