Will the Omicron Variant ‘Overwhelm the World’?*Stephen Silver* *Omicron, Americas* There are a few theories on how the new variant came to exist, possibly from an animal population until it spread back to humans. The emergence of the Omicron variant has divided people into optimists, pessimists, and those who are taking more of a wait-and-see approach. Count Dr. Leong Hoe Nam of Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital in Singapore is in the pessimist category. Hoe Nam told CNBC that “frankly, omicron will dominate and overwhelm the whole world in three to six months.” He was also skeptical about a vaccine meant to deal specific... read more

There are a few reasons to think that the Russian Sukhoi Su-57 stealth fighter could be falling behind the U.S. Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, F-22 Raptor, and whatever innovations might be being built into the emerging sixth-generation aircraft. Why? There are several key areas that jump out for consideration, relating to stealth configuration, hypersonics, and manned-unmanned teaming.

British Biomedical Scientist: FRAUD and Crimes Against Humanity Enabled by Virology’s Unscientific Voodoo Scientism
The Exposé has published a study by an anonymous "top British Biomedical scientist with 30 years of experience in his field" that is well-referenced and exposes the fraud in virology, which he calls "Voodoo Scientism" and states that it is not "real science." This is further evidence to support my claim that the whole "science" behind vaccines is absent, and that it is better defined as a religious "cult." Also, someone has produced a very nice short video proving that everything the public has been told about the COVID-19 shots has been a lie, with words directly from their own ... read more

"Be Very Afraid of Omicron!"*“This Is Such Garbage You Guys Print”* by Brian Maher “This is such garbage you guys print. F*****gunbelievable.” That is the grievance of one reader. This she filed in response to yesterday’s reckoning about the Omicron variant. We cited evidence that universal vaccination may work at cross purposes, that the policy may be 180 degrees wrong. Rather than cure, we raised the possibility that it may harm — and potentially plenty. That is because broad vaccination may spin out additional, potentially more lethal variants. Here another reader directs us to the straightabout, to correc... read more

Can Biden Make a Comeback?*Jacob Heilbrunn* *The Presidency, United States* The bad news keeps coming for Biden, whether it’s the Omicron variant, gang robberies of luxury stores, or the jobs report. It was a weary Joe Biden who addressed the White House press corps on Friday. “It’s just a cold,” he declared before stating “I’m tested every day, a Covid test.” It was his toddler grandson who had kissed and infected him. Biden needs all the love he can get because he isn’t getting much even from Democrats who are eyeing an impending mid-term electoral catastrophe. Poor Joe. The bad news keeps mounting.

Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan Each Had Eyes on Madagascar*Peter Suciu* *History, Africa* While no formal operations between the two Axis powers materialized, each had designs on the French colony island of Madagascar. During World War II, Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were allies, two members of the Axis Powers. However, where the Allied powers actively worked together and coordinated efforts, there was little actual cooperation between Germany and Japan. Never once did their respective forces conduct an operation together, and about the closest actual cooperation was the Monsun Gruppe, a force of German U-Boats that operated in the... read more

Weaponizing migrantsForeign Affairs: Over the past month, as thousands of migrants gathered on Belarus’s border with Poland and tried to cross into the European Union, some European leaders accused Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of engaging in a “hybrid war.” In an effort to put pressure on the EU, they asserted, Lukashenko intentionally sent the migrants to the border with Poland and left them exposed in a freezing forest. Ylva Johansson, the European commissioner for home affairs, called it a new way of “using human beings in an act of aggression.” But if the strategy was extreme, the f... read more

The ABA Council’s Futile Quest for a Diversity MandateThe ABA Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar has now released a second proposed set of revisions to standard 206 concerning diversity in law schools.

Now that we have the second proposal, the only sensible conclusion is that there is no reasonable way to mandate diversity and the Council should abandon its efforts. In the current proposal, the Council describes its standard 206 mandates as “aim[ing] to achieve... read more
