Unintended Consequences
The U.N. is reporting that the world's push toward clean energy and digital technology is creating a crisis in the world's most vulnerable regions. "The race for minerals essential to electric vehicles, renewable energy, and artificial intelligence could replicate the injustices of the fossil fuel era." It constantly amazes me that the "elite" (whatever that means at the moment) offer a "superior" point of view that turns out to be as bad as the one they purport to replace. Unintended consequences will get you every time.
An International Whine
The U.N. feels that North Korea's continued "militarisation" of the region is a "serious concern." Apparently launching missiles into the sea is a dangerous situation. Okay ... oversimplification. It's just irritating to hear the U.N. whine without actually intending to do anything about it.
Truth Decay?
The Trump administration says the war in Iran has been terminated before the 60-day deadline that would require congressional approval to continue. All that posturing about destroying an entire civilization and the war was over?
Made in China
On the tails of the so-called end of the war in Iran, a report is out that claims that Iran damaged 16 U.S. installations in the Middle East using a "a secretly acquired Chinese satellite." Thanks, China. If we can return the favor, we'll be sure and do it. Again ... the war is over?
Your Best Source for Fake News
As New York City faces a budget crisis of "historic magnitude" (actual story), Mayor Mandami explains New York is running out of other people's money. Apparently, he called his parents to ask if he can borrow $4 billion. It could happen. In the Christian Living category, there's a story of a dad who splits his commute time between worshiping Christ and cursing out bad drivers. I think I know more than one like that.
Must be true; I read it on the internet.

Unintended Consequences
It doesn't help that they also have unrealistic expectations as socialists. In their view, any disparity is injustice, so what they actually mean by that could simply be the reality of the spread of technology.
An International Whine
Have they been asleep for the last 70 years? North Korea has been a military threat in the region since the ceasefire, lest the UN forget that the Korean War never officially ended. There aren't many countries that have an entire border that is a demilitarized zone.
Truth Decay?
Does anyone really believe Trump meant he was threatening to destroy ALL of Iran, or just those continuing the regime? I hear this complaint a lot that Trump threatened to wipe out an entire civilization. He should do better about how he speaks and writes, but if you believe he truly threatened all of Iran, I've got beachfront property in Arizona to sell you. As for the war being "over", when did it ever really start? Everybody keeps calling it a war, but we have no troops on the ground marching toward Terhan. I'll believe it's a war when the troop ships start landing.
Made in China
Say it ain't so, China has been helping Iran? Bestill my heart, I thought we were such good friends! The treachery, the betrayal, the shock and horror from our most reliable ally! Don't worry China, we'll keep buying your products and giving you our personal information because we know you meant nothing by it. You really only have our best intentions at heart. (I think I just pulled my sarcasm.)
You should get that looked at. A serious sarcasm pull can be painful.
