TRUMP: EVEN HIS FACEPLANTS ARE LARGER THAN LIFE!
So I was just reading a *Politico Magazine* piece that's a few days old, by a group of researchers who've determined that most of America has no idea how rich Donald Trump was at birth and how much help he had in his business career. When they're told the truth, their belief in his business confidence drops. What happens when Americans learn of the president’s privileged background? In a 2018 survey, we provided half the respondents the following question, which was intended to impart Trump’s biographical information: *To what extent were you aware that Donald Trump grew up the son ... more »

The super storm, known locally as Ompong, killed at least 66 people and caused heavy damage to crops and infrastructure in the country’s northernmost crop-growing heartland, namely the Ilocos, Cagayan and Cordilleras areas. Cagayan province has already been put under a state of calamity, with its Governor Manuel Mamba ... more »

This Russian Nuclear Submarine Made Some Scary History: It Sank Twice
*Robert Farley* *Security, * How? *The Russian public only learned of the accident in the 1990s; the original crew of K-429 only found out when they arrived in port with their submarine nowhere to be found.* The Cold War saw numerous submarine accidents, especially on the Soviet side. For much of its existence, the USSR tried to maintain a world-beating military with a second-rate economy. Throughout the era, the Soviets struggled to maintain their magnificent weapons of war. In the effort to close this gap, the crews of Soviet submarines often paid with their lives. But only ... more »
