It Would Be Hard To Imagine A President As Entitled And Self-Centered As Trump... But Think About Republican Oligarch Michael Bloomberg
Julia Carrie Wong, reporting for *The Guardian*-- $45 Million in 90 days: How Bloomberg Bought Your Facebook Feed-- wrote that "In the first six weeks of 2020, more than 1.6 billion of the 2.4 billion presidential campaign ads shown to U.S. Facebook users were from the Bloomberg campaign. Since launching his campaign in mid-November, the former mayor of New York City has spent nearly $45m on Facebook ads-- more than all his opponents combined. And Bloomberg’s spending doesn’t just dwarf that of other Democrats; Donald Trump’s giant re-election effort on Facebook looks paltry in co... more »

Man shows coronavirus symptoms 27 days after being infected
Just In - 16 hours ago
A 70-year-old man in China's Hubei Province was infected with coronavirus but did not show symptoms until 27 days later, the local government says, meaning the virus' incubation period could be much longer than the presumed 14 days.

Moonlighting
*The Times* continues to be in hot pursuit of "moonlighting" BBC figures. Today they are pointing the finger of accusation at Mishal Husain for taking part in "at least ten private events" organised by the Norwegian gas and oil industry. (I know, 'The Norwegian gas and oil industry' and 'Mishal Husain' aren't phrases I'd have naturally placed together either!) According to the paper, environmentalists are complaining that by "profiteering from polluters" she's risking "the BBC's reputation for impartiality", with someone from Extinction Rebellion adding, "This is yet another un... more »

Pause for Art
My goodness, there's actual sunshine gushing in through my window this morning and, thankfully, no ducks taking refuge from rainwater on my windowsill. And, glancing at Twitter, I've seen a painting by an artist I was unfamiliar with and thought the blog could do with a bright hint of high summer. This is Simon Palmer's punningly-titled *Drawing Across the Ocre*. Not only is it breathtakingly beautiful, but it also looks exactly like a lane I just to regularly jog along, its ups and downs also taking my breath away. (Wonder if Simon's been painting somewhere near Morecambe?)

You cannot “fast” from sin!
Thinking of a Lenten fast? This author says some suggestions are just daft! You cannot fast from pornography! It’s always bad!! We should always avoid *sins*, such as cruel words, unjust anger, selfishness, and, yes, pornography! These are not *good things* that we temporarily abstain from, and then offer up as a sacrifice to God as part of our fast. These simply are *bad things* that always displease Our Lord and which we should always avoid doing. The notion of giving up sins as part of our Lenten resolution confuses the very nature or purpose of fasting, which is to deprive ... more »
Hate Donald Trump? Fine. But Calling His Supporters a 'Cult' Is Wrong.
*Sharday Mosurinjohn* *Politics, Americas* While there are many legitimate ways to critique Trump, demonizing his voters doesn’t help us understand why they are attracted to him, how their worldview has developed and how to do something about it. The recent events in Iran have led many to rail against a supposed “Trump cult.” But suggestions that supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump are exhibiting cult-like behaviour isn’t helpful in an era of significant political polarization. As those of us who study new religious movements often say, a cult is just a religion that you ... more »
Did Hitler Make a Mistake Building the Battleship Bismarck?
*Timothy Francis* *Security, Euro* A prominent historian takes on those who would say this battleship was a waste of time and money. Recently, an author made the argument that the German battleship *Bismarck*, sunk in May of 1941, was a “waste of resources relative to the combat results they achieved.” Indeed, the author argues the same for the entire surface navy, saying the Kriegsmarine shouldn’t have built its seven large capital ships at all since the raw materials and “factory bandwidth” could have manufactured hundreds or thousands of additional submarines (U-boats), tanks... more »
Donald Trump Loves Those Big Tariffs. So Did Our Founding Fathers.
*Jeffrey Kucik* *Politics, Americas* The debate has always been about the appropriate level of protectionism. President Donald Trump’s trade wars have sparked fierce debate about the role of protectionism versus liberalism in U.S. trade with other countries. This debate is hardly new. It dates all the way back to America’s founding. As a political economist interested in the historical foundations of modern U.S. trade policy, I think it’s worth revisiting that history. *Freedom and free trade* The Declaration of Independence, written in 1776, contains a long list of grievances ... more »
Could Israel Have Crushed ISIS Before They Causes So Much Chaos?
*Sean Durns* *Security, Middle East* Would history have been different? “History,” the writer Philip Roth observed, “is where everything unexpected in its own time is chronicled on the page as inevitable.” Certainly, many failed to predict Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, forty-one years ago this month. But the ouster of the imperial government of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and its replacement with a theocratic totalitarian government led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini wasn’t inevitable. Indeed, it’s entirely possible that Israel, the country for whose destruction the Islamic Rep... more »

Over 300 soldiers were found to have enlisted after either failing a required fitness test, or never taking it at all, according to documents obtained by Army Times.

After Attending a Trump Rally, I Realized Democrats Are Not Ready For 2020
Why Trump won, is that he convinced voters that he had their back and that is exactly what they were looking for. Those who did not vote for him did so out of loyalty or fear driven by the MSM. Today the fear is abated by his actual performance and the utter failures of the DEMs in opposition is destroying old loyalties. 65,000,000 voted for him last time. I suspect that another 10,000,000 are now coming over to his flag. Plenty are also going to come over in order to tell their grand children that they were on the winning side. For the DEMs, they still have no answer to th... more »
