* The old food scare again* * Malthus call your office! The real-life problem with food production is glut. But the Greenies "created a model" so there!* While the global population continues to rise, a new study indicates agricultural productivity has plummeted due to the effects of climate change.

Boris Johnson's calamitous couple of weeks continues.

Asked earlier for her opinion, Nicola Sturgeon said "I don't find this impossible to believe, on the contrary it's all too believable." Yes, because Johnson has a thing for crass, off-the-cuff remarks. Remember when he referred to the government's emergency efforts at procuring ventilators as "Operation Last Gasp"?

On Thursday, President Joe Biden announced that the United States will cut emissions by 50 to 52 percent below 2005 levels by 2030 as part of its commitment to the 2016 Paris Agreement on climate change. Biden’s announcement came during the administration’s virtual Leaders Summit on Climate, which aimed to push climate action around the world. A key goal of the summit was “to keep a limit to warming of 1.5 degree Celsius within reach.” A 2018 special report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that global greenhouse gas emissions need to drop by 50 per...

China might seek paybacks by proxy for 1995–96. Could North Korea’s armed forces sink an American aircraft carrier?

*Nick Danby* *Biden-Suga Summit, Asia* Tokyo and Washington need firmer words and actions to protect Taiwan. The weak are meat; the strong eat. That Japanese proverb, akin to Thucydidean themes with a bit more poetic flair, seems an apt characterization of the Indo-Pacific region that U.S. president Joe Biden and Japanese prime minister Yoshihide Suga sat down to discuss on April 16 in Washington. Facing China’s massive military modernization and buildup, both leaders pledged to strengthen their alliance and regional security. Nowhere is that commitment more important than in Tai...

There’s the inability to concentrate enough to read or write, the lack of perseverance in tasks, agitation. All this is normal! The brain is not working the way it usually does and it’s being used differently. An electric current enables the brain to co-ordinate our movements, control our breathing, feel hunger, pain and emotions. This current m...

*Dalindyebo Shabalala* *Coronavirus, * For emergencies, the patent system has a series of safety valves that allow governments to intervene before that limited time is up.

It was a great joy to hear the recent announcements by Russia and China as they once again called upon the world to join them in creating a 'legally binding international instrument that would ban the development of any type of weapons in space'.

In addition both Russia and China invited global nations to join them in a 'multilateral initiative on making a political commitment not to be the first to place wea...

The Unconstitutional 2021 Reapportionment
Gerard N. Magliocca, Balkinization - 7 hours ago
Today the Census Bureau released the long-awaited population data that will be used for the next reapportionment of House seats and electoral votes. As I explained in a 2018 law review article, the reapportionment will be unconstitutional because the statutory calculation method violates Section Two of the Fourteenth Amendment. Will any State Attorney General bring a claim under Section Two challenging the reapportionment? I don't know. But at least one should, especially if his or her state stands to lose House seats.

The Return of ‘Blame America First’
Brett D. Schaefer, Mike Gonzalez, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Brett D. Schaefer, Mike Gonzalez* *Politics, Americas* Sadly, it has become all too common on the American Left to view the United States as a racist nation that is irredeemably flawed. Countries send ambassadors to the United Nations to defend their interests and stand up for their fellow citizens, not to impugn their nation’s origins and principles. Somebody should explain this to President Joe Biden’s new envoy to Turtle Bay, Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield.

*Rachel Bucchino* *Stimulus Check Economy, Americas* The vaccine-driven economic recovery may slowly fade given that vaccination rates are skidding in the United States, despite the spread of the highly contagious virus variants. U.S. retail sales climbed 9.8 percent in March—a figure that’s nearly double what Wall Street analysts had expected—largely due to the third round of stimulus payments sent to Americans from President Joe Biden’s coronavirus relief package. The increase comes after it dropped nearly three percent the month before, according to the Commerce Department. T...
Russia, Not NATO, Has the Upper Hand in Ukraine

*Ali Demirdas* *Ukraine Crisis, Europe* NATO, under Washington’s leadership, provides very little hope for an effective deterrence for Ukraine and its European partners. NATO’s pledge to defend Ukraine in its row with Russia raises the question as to whether the transatlantic alliance could keep its commitment. History, technical issues, changing global political order, intra-alliance problems, and a lack of public support in the West for a war with Russia are rendering NATO unable to counter Russia in Ukraine, as well as the rest of eastern Europe, making a Russian victory ever ...

*Stephen Silver* *$1400 Stimulus Checks Forever, * [image: Stimulus Check Forever] It’s an idea known as Universal Basic Income, which involves some level of direct payments by the government to citizens, on a monthly or otherwise regular basis.

“Hope is always about the future. And it isn’t always good news. Sometimes, hope can imprison us with belief or expectation that something will happen in the future to change our lives. Similarly hopelessness isn’t always about despair. Hopelessness can bring us right into this very moment and answer all of life’s most difficult questions. Who am I? Where am I? What does this mean? And what now?” - Daniel Gottlieb

6-Foot Rule Does Little To Prevent COVID-19 Exposure
Hank Campbell, Science 2.0 blogs - 10 hours ago
There were a lot of rules introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic that originated during late 2019 in Wuhan, China. Some were pretty Draconian. China welded the homes of people shut and destroyed 16,000 coronavirus samples at the world's largest coronavirus lab nearby. Some were pointless, like everyone carrying Clorox wipes around. Most were less intrusive and at least somewhat helpful; wear a mask, stay six feet apart. read more

As a child, you probably thought a week took forever and parents certainly thought days crept by after having an infant. "Time flies when you are having fun" and COVID-19 quarantines and lockdowns were not fun. A new study also finds what psychologists warned about; the effects on those with depression issues could be even worse. Unlike a new job or moving to a new place, where time also 'seems' to slow down, the new paper found that distortions to the passage of time were also present later into the global pandemic. read more

*Robert Farley* *Security, Middle East* A question worth considering. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *If Iraq had decided to take the war to Saudi Arabia with a direct invasion, it could have resulted in the near-complete destruction of fielded Iraqi forces.

Iraqi forces had grown increasingly lethal in the final year of the Iran-Iraq War, and they brushed aside Kuwaiti resistance with little difficulty.

*Simon Leitch* *Taiwan Blockade, Asia* [image: Taiwan] Beijing could use a blockade to slowly strangle Taiwan into submission while avoiding or overcoming any realistic American military response.

In this fantasy of failed strategy, China was meant to become peaceful, satisfied with wealth, amenable to Taiwan’s continued independence, and...
