The Chinese communist government increasingly poses an existential threat not just to its own 1.4 billion citizens but to the world at large.
China is currently in a dangerously chaotic state. And why not, when a premodern authoritarian society leaps wildly into the brave new world of high-tech science in a single generation?
The Chinese technological revolution is overseen by an Orwellian dictatorship. Predictably, the Chinese Communist Party has not developed the social, political or cultural infrastructure to ensure that its sophisticated industrial and biological research does not go rogue and become destructive to itself and to the billions of people who are on the importing end of Chinese products and protocols.

You knew it was coming, you just didn’t expect it this soon. But no one ever accused the most radical elements of the Never Trump movement of being anything less than nuts when it comes to Donald Trump.
Enter The Bulwark, Bill Kristol’s left-wing funded vanity project which has made a mockery out of “principled” conservatism. Johnathan V. Last, the least surprising person to have penned an essay like this, decided it was time to make the conservative case for Bernie Sanders, because of course he did.

In an exclusive interview, Attorney General Bill Barr told ABC News on Thursday that President Donald Trump "has never asked me to do anything in a criminal case” but should stop tweeting about the Justice Department because his tweets “make it impossible for me to do my job.”
Barr’s comments are a rare break with a president who the attorney general has aligned himself with and fiercely defended. But it also puts Barr in line with many of Trump’s supporters on Capitol Hill who say they support the president but wish he’d cut back on his tweets.

Mitt Romney will have a long road to redemption with the GOP – at least as long as President Trump is in office.
For those closest to the president, the business titan who was the party standard-bearer just eight years ago may never be forgiven over his dramatic vote to convict Trump on abuse of power this week. He could face primary challenges on top of the sustained scorn of Trump backers in his own state. His own family has a beef with him. The U.S. Capitol will become an instantly more challenging labyrinth of relationships.The Utah senator acknowledged as much in a Fox News interview,

For years, Mitt Romney had a reputation as a flip-flopper, an opportunist, a politician who would tailor his beliefs to fit whichever group he was trying to please.
Running for office in deep-blue Massachusetts in 1994 and 2002, he pronounced himself strongly pro-choice. Running for the Republican presidential nomination in pro-life Iowa and South Carolina, he became just as strongly pro-life.
As governor of Massachusetts, he produced a universal healthcare program that prefigured Obamacare. Appealing to GOP voters deeply opposed to Obama, Romney renounced his signature accomplishment.

President Trump tweeted out a political ad targeting Senator Mitt Romney (? – Utah) yesterday. The ad depicts Romney as a slippery Republican poser and Never-Trump infiltrator:
The ad comes one day after Romney voted to convict President Trump on the charge of “abuse of power” in the president’s impeachment trial in the Senate. Romney’s vote drew much criticism from conservatives and encomiums from celebrity liberal activists:

CNN has been a constant anti-Trump machine for the past three years.
So when they say omething which helps the president, you know that it has to be a pretty obvious statement of fact.
Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, one of the Trump defense lawyers, laid out the case of the Bidens and Ukraine at the Senate impeachment trial. She did a great job, pointing out the real concerns and questions raised by Hunter’s work for Burisma while Joe was the point man for Barack Obama on Ukraine. She did such a great job that she had “Burisma” trending on Twitter.

From early in our nation’s history, America’s intellectuals have mostly looked down on their own country and yearned for it to be like someplace else–someplace more sophisticated, and more in tune with “modern” intellectual currents, whatever they might be at the moment. That is a long history, which I will skip over. In our own time, American intellectuals have claimed that Soviet Russia, Germany and Japan were harbingers of the future that the U.S. needed to imitate. In each case, the point was that we had to shed our archaic freedoms and enter the brave new world of central planning under the control–benign, of course!–of intellectuals and bureaucrats.

1975 was an exciting time to be at Boston University’s School of Public Communication. There we were, about 30 students seeking a Master’s Degree in Broadcast Journalism. All of us thought our quest was noble, that we would become purveyors of truth, skilled fact-finders and truth-tellers in the Watergate tradition. The lessons presented were well worth the tens of thousands of dollars I had to pay for them.
Forty-five years later, having reached the top of my profession, I generally despise my own industry, something I never could have predicted. Here’s why.

The San Francisco 49ers blew out the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship on Sunday, securing their spot in Super Bowl LIV. The Niners will make their first Super Bowl appearance since 2013, when their Colin Kaepernick-led squad fell to the Baltimore Ravens, 34-31.
Meanwhile, in the AFC Championship, the Kansas City Chiefs took care of the Tennessee Titans, aided by a monster performance by their superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes completed 23 of 35 passes for 294 yards and three touchdowns, adding a highlight touchdown run late in the second quarter.

A convicted sex offender in Grand Rapids has a very peculiar defense: He’s not a convicted sex offender in Grand Rapids.
He can’t be, you see, because elementary schoolchildren can’t be convicted of his crimes. And he’s not even a He.
As per WZZM13, Joseph Gobrick was sentenced to at least a decade behind bars after investigators found illegal images on his computer. The photos depicted children under 5 — and as young as infancy — being sexually assaulted.
The pictures were discovered in 2018 after a 17-year-old who’d been reported missing was found at Joseph’s home.

MSNBC talent and staffers are bracing for a major 2020 shakeup amid discussion of moving ratings-challenged Chuck Todd to a morning slot and execs talking with Fox News escapee Shepard Smith.
The goal of any reshuffle would be to shed ratings dead weight in the lead-up to the election. Sources at the network cautioned that a new look for the lineup is still up in the air, but brass have been batting around several options.
One of those is new blood in the form of Smith, who abruptly quit Fox late last year after on-air skirmishes with Tucker Carlson and other primetime hosts. Smith has had conversations with MSNBC President Phil Griffin
Comments:
Kurt is always a pleasant read.
No exception here.
