But it didn’t work, the voters elected his Democratic rival, Andy Beshear. Bevin hasn’t conceded yet, but barring the incredible, the race is over. This is …

Richard Painter, George W. Bush’s chief White House ethics lawyer, said that Donald Trump seems to be committing felony bribery by giving top Republican senators fundraising money ahead of the impeachment proceedings.

According to Dr. Michael Baden, a medical examiner who worked on high profile murder investigations, has suggested that Jeffrey Epstein’s wounds are more consistent with homicide than suicide. “Those three fractures are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation,” he said. “I’ve not seen in 50 years where …

Facebook recently released some alarming information: Russians are already infiltrating American social media platforms and attempting to widen preexisting social fissures.

In a move outraging China, the EU has awarded a defense of human rights prize to a jailed Uighur activist. The Chinese government issued a scathing statement dismissing the prize as irrelevant and calling the activist a terrorist. The Uighur are Chinese citizens, and the majority of them are Muslim. They are therefore both religiously …

The Uighur are Chinese citizens, and the majority of them are Muslim. They are therefore both religiously and ethnically different from the (officially) atheist Han majority.  China has done this before––it has actively pursued policies that “Sinicize” Tibet, who are both ethnically and religious different from the Han majority. According to the Chinese government, the Uighur––or at …

Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, resigned his position after Trump announced troop withdrawal from Syria. Trump didn’t take kindly to that, calling Mattis the “world’s most overrated general.” At a recent charity dinner, Mattis had an absolute field day with that–––and thre a few other zingers in to boot.
