Good! We need to work on ourselves, we're a mess. Ireland can go to the Devil, who cares? Their population is doomed by demographic collapse anyway.

...Truer words were never spoken, Borg. Quite possibly Lee's greatest victory - and his greatest loss, as he watched Stonewall Jackson cross over the river, and rest in the shade of the trees. The Almighty alone knows what would have happened had Jackson advanced upon Gettysburg seven weeks later at Lee's side.

^ You can play that out a lot of different ways, but IMHO Jackson would have taken at least Culp's Hill on the first day of the battle instead of hesitating like Ewell.

Review of the Russian film "Tourist" by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin. Direct translation, and edited. Film was released Thursday.
[ColonelCassad] The film was shot in the genre of the current political situation based on the events that happened quite recently and are designed to reinforce the country's political position on the issues under consideration on the principle that what we are doing there is good. What our opponents are doing there is bad.
There is nothing wrong with the political conjuncture itself (all of this has been filmed, is being filmed and will be filmed); rather, it can be divided into high-quality and low-quality.
[AND Magazine] When the Hunter Biden laptop story broke before the November election, the legacy media that functions as the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party swung into action and largely buried the story. Now, four months into the disastrous Biden Administration, the scope of the corruption of the Biden family is only just now beginning to bubble to the surface. Hunter was, it appears, the bagman for a family enterprise vacuuming up cash around the world. The true story may be much worse than that, however. Hunter may be directly tied to Chinese espionage.
The China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) is a state-owned firm and is part of the Chinese government. It is controlled by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). It has been implicated in the theft of highly sensitive American technology and the provision of that technology to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In fact, it appears that the General Nuclear Power Corporation was created for the sole purpose of stealing American nuclear secrets.
In 2017 Szuhsiung Ho, a consultant employed by CGN was charged by the U.S. Department of Justice with "assisting CGN in procuring U.S.-based nuclear engineers to assist with designing and manufacturing certain components for nuclear reactors." Ho ultimately pled guilty, paid a fine of $20,000, and was sentenced to two years in prison.
CGN was formed in 2014. One of its cornerstone investors was the private equity firm BHR Partners, headed up by Vice-President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. The company put $10 million into the initial public offering for CGN. BHR Partners was a joint venture between Rosemont Seneca Partners, an investment fund founded by Hunter Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry’s stepson, Chris Heinz in 2009, and the state-owned Bank of China.
This billion-dollar fund came into existence less than two weeks after Hunter Biden accompanied his father on a state visit to Beijing. The money to create the fund came from the Chinese government.
The six engineers provided information on nuclear fuel materials including the plutonium used in MOX fuel, the U-233 used in the thorium fuel cycle, and conventional U-235 enriched nuclear fuel. The intelligence appears to have been used by the Chinese to advance their own work on new reactor types including the new ACPR small modular reactor.
China is competing — head to head — with American companies like Westinghouse for new nuclear reactor deals abroad. The information stolen from the United States may well provide China the necessary competitive advantage to land as many as thirty new reactor construction contracts. There have also been indications that some of the information stolen may pertain to the kinds of reactors used on American nuclear submarines. Yet, almost incredibly even after the DOJ action and Ho’s conviction, Biden and BHR did not divest from CGN.
[World Journal of Men's Health] Purpose: A pilot study to describe histopathological features of penile tissue of patients who recovered from symptomatic COVID-19 infection and subsequently developed severe erectile dysfunction (ED).
Materials and Methods: Penile tissue was collected from patients undergoing surgery for penile prosthesis for severe ED.
Specimens were obtained from two men with a history of COVID-19 infection and two men with no history of infection. Specimens were imaged with TEM and H&E staining. RT-PCR was performed from corpus cavernosum biopsies. The tissues collected were analyzed for endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS, a marker of endothelial function) and COVID-19 spike-protein expression. Endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) function was assessed from blood samples collected from COVID-19 (+) and COVID-19 (-) men.
Results: TEM showed extracellular viral particles ~100 nm in diameter with peplomers (spikes) near penile vascular endothelial cells of the COVID-19 (+) patients and absence of viral particles in controls. PCR showed presence of viral RNA in COVID-19 (+) specimens. eNOS expression in the corpus cavernosum of COVID-19 (+) men was decreased compared to COVID-19 (-) men. Mean EPC levels from the COVID-19 (+) patients were substantially lower compared to mean EPCs from men with severe ED and no history of COVID-19.
Conclusions: Our study is the first to demonstrate the presence of the COVID-19 virus in the penis long after the initial infection in humans. Our results also suggest that widespread endothelial cell dysfunction from COVID-19 infection can contribute to ED. Future studies will evaluate novel molecular mechanisms of how COVID-19 infection leads to ED.

Quite ingenious. A duel-function bio weapon. Negatively impacts reproduction and simultaneously kills off the elderly with pre-existing medical conditions. Perhaps Gaia will survive after all.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
