Daniel McAdams at - 1 hour ago

Interpol Elects Its Next President From South Korea
*Bloomberg:* *Interpol Picks Korean as New President in Snap Election, Crushing Russian Hopes* (Bloomberg) -- Interpol delegates elected South Korean Kim Jong Yang as the new president of the global policing body after international criticism of the possibility that rival Russian candidate Aleksander Prokopchuk might get the job.

DONALD TRUMP: HE'S A SUPERHERO ALPHA MALE, BUT HE DESPERATELY NEEDS YOUR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT
Rush Limbaugh said this on his show today: The media is outraged again by President Trump — who may be the greatest president of our lifetimes, with one or two exceptions. Interesting that Limbaugh calls Trump "the greatest president of our lifetimes," then hedges and adds, "with one or two exceptions." He doesn't want to slight Saint Reagan or Dubya -- but I wonder at what point Republicans will start saying that they no longer believe Reagan is the greatest president of their lifetimes. They all still pay lip service to Reagan, but I think their favorite is now Trump, and sooner o... more »

Responding to NRA, Doctors Tweet Bloody Photos, Stories of Gun Violence

Brexit in Crisis
Brexit is in crisis. Arguably, it has been since 52% of the voting public returned a Leave verdict in June 2016. Yet what we have had up until, well, a couple of weeks ago is something of a phony war. Now, the politics has played out so every position - no deal/hard, May's deal, and soft/remain sit poised upon a mountain of gunpowder. At any moment, a spark could fall that blows up one position. Or, perhaps, all three. One welcoming consequence of the chaos is the temporary neutering of the Brexit hard right. That's perhaps being generous, Theresa May has routed them and rubbed the... more »

U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds Commander Has Been Fired
The U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron has announced its new lineup as it cruises into the 2019 season. (SrA Cory W. Bush/Air Force) *Air Force Times:* *Thunderbirds commander was fired after grabbing neck of another pilot in bar argument* Months of tension over former Thunderbirds commander Lt. Col. Jason Heard’s perceived risk-taking leadership style boiled over in a “physical altercation” in a Maryland bar last September, in which Heard put his hands on another Thunderbird pilot’s neck. Heard was relieved of command last November after a commander-directed investigation ... more »
"Dear Acquisitions Editor of Frankland"
So, this is how it all started yesterday morning... It looked legitimate... if you were as stupid as a Trump voter or Dave Chadwick. Then I went on a little internet safari and found this from 2011 on the late AC Crispin's site warning us about this same too-good-to-be-true deal. It also comes with an update from this year showing the text of the new email sent out by these scammers which happens to be the same one I'd just received yesterday morning. So, safely informed that my suspicions were confirmed, this is what I wrote them back. Then I folded my arms, sa... more »
Grizzlies Saved: Court Stops Trophy Hunt of Yellowstone’s Iconic Bears
Federal safeguards for Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem grizzly bears were reinstated today, after a judge ruled that the Trump administration’s decision to strip Endangered Species Act protections from the population was illegal. The decision spares the grizzlies from a planned trophy hunt scheduled to begin this fall in Wyoming and Idaho. Earthjustice, representing the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, Sierra Club, Center for Biological Diversity and National Parks Conservation Association, argued for restoring protections to Yellowstone grizzly bears. “The grizzly is a big part of why the ... more »
What’s wrong with this paragraph?
“It is no longer controversial to say that the United States food system does not support a healthy diet. Junk food is extraordinarily palatable and virtually omnipresent; its advertising is pervasive; many Americans do not live within convenient distance of a grocery store stocking healthy alternatives; and healthier foods are typically perceived as costlier. In this environment, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides 42 million low-income people with financial assistance to purchase food. Most SNAP recipients, because they tend to live in lower-income comm... more »

This Is How Social Media Is Being Used in the Middle East
*Caroline Caywood* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Governments are using social media to rally domestic and foreign support for their policies. Social media has played an increasingly important role in Middle East politics ever since the 2011 Arab Spring. State actors such as Iran and Saudi Arabia have sought to use social media to influence discourse at home and undermine rivals abroad. How will this new era of online opposition and internet troll armies play out? As ongoing wars in Syria and Yemen have dominated news from the Middle East in recent years, international... more »
Forget the Uzi: Meet Israel's Deadly Tavor Assault Rifle
*Michael Peck* *Security, Middle East* First introduced in 2001, the Tavor was selected by the Israel Defense Forces in 2009 to replace the American-made M-16 and M-4 as its first-line rifle. *If nothing else, the Tavor is distinctive by its bullpup configuration, in which the receiver and magazine are located behind the trigger, thus allowing a shorter weapon. * Israel builds its own high-tech military equipment, such as tanks, missiles and drones. Not bad for a nation of just 8.5 million people living in a state the size of New Jersey. *(This first appeared several months ago...more »
Populist Rural Voters Were Part Of FDR's Coalition-- Will They Be Part Of Bernie's
Jared Golden made history this cycle-- not just because he's a *progressive* Democrat who won Maine's second district and not just because prior to Poliquin's defeat no incumbent had lost an election for Maine's 2nd District seat since 1916, but because he is the first member of Congress who won election through ranked-choice voting. The working class whip of the Maine state House, formerly a front line marine, took out Wall Street-backed GOP incumbent Bruce Poliquin. Two years earlier Maine voters had approved the use of ranked-choice voting in a referendum. A long process then e... more »

Nov. 21: extra
I had not intended to write a blog today because I'm up to my ears in packing. So this will be short. Trump has forgiven the prince of Saudi Arabia for murdering a Saudi journalist. It was justified, he said, because the journalist was an enemy of the state. What is an enemy of the state? Well, anyone who opposes it - including the elected opposition if there is any. Where is the law that you cannot be such an 'enemy of the state'? There is no such law. And what was the process of law and judgement in this case? There was none. Ever heard of this reason being used before to murd... more »
Intentional Political Gridlock: Our Government is Broken on Purpose
Witnessing so many people fight over politics can be a very disheartening experience. We have become a nation of bickerers who would rather unleash torpedoes on each other instead of working together to solve problems. With each successive election, we get more and more divided as fringe voices set the tone of political discourse while the wealthiest few dictate policies. On both sides of the divide, politicians feign outrage and dismay at the state of… The post Intentional Political Gridlock: Our Government is Broken on Purpose appeared first on The Ghion Journal.

Save The Children: 85,000 Children May Have Died Of Hunger In Yemen
*BBC: **Yemen crisis: 85,000 children 'dead from malnutrition'* An estimated 85,000 children under the age of five may have died from acute malnutrition in three years of war in Yemen, a leading charity says. The number is equivalent to the entire under-five population in the UK's second largest city of Birmingham, Save the Children adds. The UN warned last month that up to 14m Yemenis are on the brink of famine. It is trying to revive talks to end a three-year war which has caused the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
