Writing about (or not writing about) Trump’s NATO and British meetings
It’s a huge and important topic, but I haven’t written much about either so far. It’s not for lack of coverage; there’s plenty of that. It’s from weariness at the spin. The MSM are doing the usual catastrophizing. Trump is … Continue reading →
More Mueller-related indictments of Russians who will never be extradited
The timing of the indictments, on the eve of Trump’s visit to Russia and meeting with Putin, is certainly interesting. Eleven of the 12 Russian operatives are charged with either hacking into or “spearphishing” (sending emails to trick people into … Continue reading →
More details of the Thai cave rescue
Well worth reading. When the Times sticks to straight reporting, sometimes it does a very good job. I learned details I hadn’t known before. For example: 10,000 people participated, including 2,000 soldiers, 200 divers and representatives from 100 government agencies… … Continue reading →

Do you ever want to have been wrong about something? As a never-NeverTrumper but definitely a huge Trump critic during the 2016 presidential campaign, I wanted to be wrong about him. Now, I hate being wrong and much prefer to … Continue reading →
Here’s another promising piece of medical news
The power of a mitochondria injection: In animal studies at Boston Children’s Hospital and elsewhere, mitochondrial transplants revived heart muscle that was stunned from a heart attack but not yet dead, and revived injured lungs and kidneys. Infusions of mitochondria … Continue reading →
On the Democrats’ dream of stopping Trump’s SCOTUS nominee
See this in National Review by Jonathan S. Tobin: The irony here for Democrats is that the “resistance” is fueled by their conviction that Trump has violated key norms and threatens the institutions of democracy. Yet if there is one … Continue reading →
Is a vaccine for AIDS…
…finally in the works after all these years and many false hopes? Drug treatment has reduced the mortality of AIDS, particularly in countries where people (and insurers) can afford the treatment. Even in Africa, the continent hardest hit, progress has … Continue reading →
