Ethen Kim Lieser, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Technology, * No, this particular set doesn’t come with the much-coveted QLED or OLED display, but that really shouldn’t scare you off—it’s definitely more than passable for everyday TV-watching and family movie nights. As each year passes, HDTVs do seem to be getting bigger and bigger. Within five to ten years, it wouldn’t be a stretch to claim that most American family rooms will have a set that’s 85 inches or larger. If you don’t want to wait another decade to splurge on one of these mammoth HDTVs, look no further than Samsung’s 82-inch 8 Series LED 4K HDTV...

Bennett, Soo Kim* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2YLF9OCHXP&share=true] If re-eected, Trump should resume diplomatic efforts, including offering aid for compliance. President Trump came into office determined to rein-in the North Korean nuclear weapon program. The President viewed the North’s nuclear weapons with their ballistic missile delivery means as a clear threat to the United States and its regional allies.

Stop Talking About the Not-So-Mythical YF-23 Stealth Fighter
David Axe, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] The YF-23's renaissance reflects a pernicious kind of magical thinking that actually undermines America's national defense. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The F-22 won't end terrorism. It won't stop Russia from exerting its influence along its periphery in order to work out the national trauma of past wars.

Reforming Government-- Raúl Grijalva Wants To-- Pelosi And Her Team Want To Pretend They Do Too... But They Don't
DownWithTyranny, DownWithTyranny! - 16 hours ago
McConnell's never going to allow the Senate to debate it and even if he did and it passed, Trump would never sign it.

Who is the Nazi?
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 16 hours ago
The party that is suggesting that Trump is a Nazi, is proposing a total lockdown of our society, taking that option away from the governors and mayors. They want to destroy the Electoral College which gives small states a say in our government. They want to pack the Supreme Court because they fear the Constitution that protects We the People. We are called the "United States" for a reason, and Democrats want to destroy that.

barovsky, The New Dark Age - 16 hours ago
I work in the healthcare field. Here’s the problem, we are testing people for any strain of a Coronavirus. Not specifically for COVID-19. There are no reliable tests for a specific COVID-19 virus. There are no reliable agencies or media outlets for reporting numbers of actual COVID-19 virus cases. This needs to be addressed first and foremost. Every action and reaction to COVID-19 is based on totally flawed data and we simply cannot make accurate assessments.
