Commentary

The violence and hatred currently roiling this country—where does it come from? For those of us who have been following the antics of the Left for nearly half a century, the answer is quite clear: from Germany, via the American educational system.

People donated millions of dollars to the wrong Black Lives Matter foundation
— read this before you give to any charity

Donors tried to send an estimated $4.35 million to a California-based nonprofit called the Black Lives Matter Foundation, BuzzFeed News reported, but it has no connection with the Black Lives Matter social justice movement.

The foundation was established ... by a Black man who ... noted that his goals ... is to unify the police and the community, while the [Black Lives Matter social justice] movement advocates for defunding the police.

Blood clots are the latest life-threatening complication of the coronavirus, but doctors aren't sure how to treat them

- We're still learning about all the terrible things the novel coronavirus does to human bodies. Doctors are unsure of the best way to treat it.

- In the sickest patients who have COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, the disease affects more than just the lungs.

- Doctors have reported kidney problems, heart problems, and an unusually high rate of blood clots in severely ill patients.

- Doctors aren't sure how to treat the blood clots. Some are proposing heavy doses of blood-thinning medications, while others are exploring clot-busting drugs otherwise used to treat strokes.

- Trials to evaluate whether those options help patients recover are ongoing, but results are still months away, leading doctors to make decisions on their own.

Полное торможение. Немецкий врач делится опытом борьбы с вирусом

Система здравоохранения Германии действительно очень консервативна, и до тех пор, пока не будут пройдены все предписанные исследования, препарат не будет допущен к применению. Как ни ускоряй, на процедуры утверждения уходит несколько месяцев.

в любом случае речь идет о сроке в несколько месяцев до создания вакцины, а далее все проверки и клинические студии потребуют до года, наверное.

The state is at odds with the federal government over coronavirus plans and much else.

California this week declared its independence from the federal government’s feeble efforts to fight Covid-19 — and perhaps from a bit more. The consequences for the fight against the pandemic are almost certainly positive. The implications for the brewing civil war between Trumpism and America’s budding 21st-century majority, embodied by California’s multiracial liberal electorate, are less clear.

«Антикризисные переговоры»

Новая Газета, 11 янв 2020
Мария Епифанова

В субботу (11 янв 2020) в Кремле прошла четырехчасовая встреча Владимира Путина с канцлером Германии Ангелой Меркель. Главы государств обсудили урегулирование ситуации в Ливии, Сирии и Украине, планы по сдерживанию ядерной программы Ирана и строительство «Северного потока-2».


Встреча, назначенная на два часа дня, началась чуть позже — с получасовым опозданием, и продлилась четыре часа. Впрочем, еще до начала встречи Меркель отметила, что «обсудить надо многое» и что «лучше говорить друг с другом, чем друг о друге».

Основные темы встречи были объявлены за несколько дней до поездки:
- урегулирование украинского конфликта,
- ситуации на Ближнем Востоке, в частности, война в Ливии,
- экстерриториальные санкции США в отношении строящегося газопровода «Северный поток — 2».

В случае с газопроводом поддержка Германии для России особенно важна: именно Германия выступает главным лоббистом проекта в Европе, в противовес критике от ряда балтийских и восточноевропейских стран, Украины и США.

Кроме того, встреча была анонсирована на фоне ухудшения дипломатических отношений в декабре: в начале месяца генеральная прокуратура Германии объявила, что российские спецслужбы стоят за убийством чеченского полевого командира Зелимхана Хангошвили в Берлине и что тому есть неопровержимые доказательства, которые были частично обнародованы. Российский МИД, естественно, возмутился. В качестве санкций двое российских дипломатов были высланы из Берлина, в ответ российский МИД выслал из Москвы двоих немецких дипломатов.

Во время подготовки к встрече еще сильнее обострились международные отношения на восточном направлении: 2 января вооруженные силы США ликвидировали иранского генерала, командующего спецподразделением «Аль-Кудс» Касема Сулеймани, которого Трамп назвал «террористом номер один». Через несколько дней Иран выпустил несколько баллистических ракет по военной базе США в Ираке, одновременно завершив частичный выход из договора о нераспространении ядерного оружия. А 8 января иранские военные сбили пассажирский самолет «Международных авиалиний Украины». Накануне встречи представители обеих сторон подчеркивали: хотя иранский кризис, безусловно, будет одной из тем переговоров, не он стал поводом — решение о визите Меркель было принято раньше.

По итогам встречи Путин и Меркель дали совместную пресс-конференцию, на которой сделали несколько важных заявлений.

Two House articles of impeachment fail to meet constitutional standards.
The Hill, 12/10/19
By Alan Dershowitz

House Democrats have announced the grounds of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress on which they plan to seek the impeachment of President Trump. Neither of these proposed articles satisfy the express constitutional criteria for an impeachment, which are limited to “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” Neither are high or low crimes or misdemeanors. Neither are mentioned within the Constitution.

According to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), there are several permissible things that a candidate can do with the money they’ve received while fundraising. They can use it
- for moving expenses,
- pay campaign staff,
- purchase gifts of “nominal” value to those who aren’t a member of their family,
- donate it to charity,
- move it to a state or local party committee,
- transfer it to a future campaign, or to a state/local candidate.

Forced or Not? Why U.S. Says China Steals Technology

It’s one of the most contentious fronts in the U.S.-China trade war: so-called forced technology transfers. The term refers to a spectrum of practices through which foreign companies that want to operate in China are induced to part with their know-how. That may be simply through a requirement to form a joint venture with a local firm, or more insidious bureaucratic methods like overly intrusive inspections. The Chinese government dismisses allegations of strong-arming as “utterly unfounded,” describing any cooperation as “voluntary” and “based on market principles.” A 2018 report by the U.S. Trade Representative quoted one ex-White House official as saying the transfer requirements are voluntary in the same way a business proposition from Vito Corleone in “The Godfather” was.

2. Trump has serious 'winner's bias'
3. Trump doesn't take criticism well

Anna Sorokin: The trial of New York's fake heiress.

Анна Сорокина представлялась как Anna Delvey, наследница немецкого состояния в 60 млн евро.

Just how far can you get in the New York City socialite scene without a real fortune of your own?

Incredibly far, in the case of Anna Delvey - real name Anna Sorokin - who tricked the city's elite into thinking she was a billionaire heiress. She hired a private jet, went to all the best parties, and threw cash at everyone she saw - a $100 (£78) tip if you carried her bag or were her Uber driver.
