How melting glaciers fueled Pakistan’s fatal floods
A “monster monsoon” season and melting snow and ice caused deadly flooding in Pakistan this summer. Here, Balochistan province on August 29. | Fida Hussain/AFP via Getty Images Pakistan has more than 7,000 glaciers. Climate change is melting them into floodwater. Much of Pakistan is now underwater. A series of extreme floods has utterly devastated the South Asian nation, which is home to some 225 million people, washing away roads and buildings, destroying farms, and stranding hundreds of thousands. Over the weekend, which brought another bout of torrential rain, government off... read more

"I Have Accepted the Fact..."
"One can fight evil but against stupidity one is helpless. I have accepted the fact, hard as it may be, that human beings are inclined to behave in ways that would make animals blush. The ironic, the tragic thing is that we often behave in ignoble fashion from what we consider the highest motives. The animal makes no excuse for killing his prey; the human animal, on the other hand, can invoke God's blessing when massacring his fellow men. He forgets that God is not *on* his side but *at* his side. " "There is no salvation in becoming adapted to a world which is crazy." - Henry Miller read more

Digital Self-Harm Is A Mental Health Cry For Help
The teen years are a challenging time for people transitioning from adolescence to adulthood, especially if they have mental health issues. The online posting, sending or sharing of hurtful content is like being trapped in a small town, except possibly the whole world sees it. So why would someone do it to themselves? That's the puzzle of digital self-harm. Like older forms of self-harm (cutting, burning, hitting oneself), there is worry it will lead suicidal ideation and attempts, but since peers assume a third-party is the culprit, the dysphoric or abnormal reasons to post cruel, ... read more

The 2020 conspiracy of the Dems
Elizabeth Stauffer: ... The senators wrote, “FBI officials initiated a scheme to downplay derogatory information on Hunter Biden for the purpose of shutting down investigative activity relating to his potential criminal exposure by labeling it ‘disinformation’” and “whistleblowers have also alleged that local FBI leadership instructed employees not to look at the Hunter Biden laptop immediately after the FBI had obtained it.” Additional proof the FBI was on a mission to squash the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the election came from a surprising source.

The DOJ and the Democrats
Stephen Lamkin: ... Since 1996, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has become increasingly politically partisan, to the point that it isbecoming an enforcement arm of the Democrat party instead of an impartial investigative and prosecutorial agency. I have seen the DOJ use prosecutorial discretion (the ability of federal prosecutors to decide whether or not to prosecute a case, no matter how overwhelming the evidence or lack of in evidence to support the prosecution) to achieve political aims. Some examples: Operation Fast and Furious, the brainchild of Arizona U.S. attorney Denn... read more

Russian troops drinking on the job
Insider: Russia is desperate to make up for devastating troop losses in Ukraine, and it has recently begun training new volunteer battalions that are meant to help it turn the tide in a war that doesn't appear to be going its way. But one such unit, the 3rd Army Corps, has troops apparently spending much of their time inebriated and bothering local residents in the area where it's training, per a Wall Street Journal report. Such observations may indicate that these recent recruits lack discipline and will struggle to bolster Russia's war effort in a significant capacity. Accordi... read more
