"European right-wing leaders meet in Prague, slam EU and immigration"

People are finally done with this multi-cultural bs and are protecting their culture and people. They want a Trump like travel ban and stop middle eastern migrates from coming to europe. Thank God.

The bill is expected to drop corporate tax rates to 21 percent from 35 percent and some investors are betting that companies will put most of the savings toward a boost in shareholder payouts.“It’s meaningful in terms of its impact on shareholders. You’re going to see an increase in stock buybacks, maybe some dividend payouts,” said David Joy, chief market strategist at Ameriprise Financial in Boston.

“By and large there’s a high correlation between higher equity prices and consumer confidence and consumer spending. Some translates into rising consumer sentiment and better feelings about job security,” he said.

However, as the tax package has evolved, it has tilted increasingly toward benefiting businesses and the wealthy, a trend that concerned some lawmakers.

The S&P was up 1 percent after Corker announced his support, but couldn’t sustain those levels as investors awaited tax bill details, according to Brian Battle, director of trading at Performance Trust Capital Partners in Chicago.

“We don’t know how stimulative it will actually be,” said Battle. “There shouldn’t be any surprises. The stuff they were apart on seems manageable.”

The Network Keeps Getting More and More Inefficient. Now Just One Bitcoin Transaction Uses as Much Energy as Your House in a Week

Bitcoin miners now have to burn through over 24 terawatt-hours of electricity annually as they compete to solve increasingly difficult cryptographic puzzles to "mine" more Bitcoins. That's about as much as Nigeria, a country of 186 million people, uses in a year.

This averages out to a shocking 215 kilowatt-hours (KWh) of juice used by miners for each Bitcoin transaction (there are currently about 300,000 transactions per day). Since the average American household consumes 901 KWh per month, each Bitcoin transfer represents enough energy to run a comfortable house, and everything in it, for nearly a week. On a larger scale, De Vries' index shows that bitcoin miners worldwide could be using enough electricity to at any given time to power about 2.26 million American homes.

Three years before launching an offshore herpes vaccine trial, an American researcher vaccinated patients in U.S. hotel rooms in brazen violation of U.S. law, a Kaiser Health News investigation has found.

Southern Illinois University associate professor William Halford administered the shots himself at a Holiday Inn Express and a Crowne Plaza Hotel that were a 15-minute drive from the researcher’s SIU lab. Halford injected at least eight herpes patients on four separate occasions in the summer and fall of 2013 with a virus that he created, according to emails from seven participants and interviews with one participant.

The 2013 experiments raise further questions of misconduct by Halford, who pursued a herpes vaccine for years while working at Southern Illinois University, which claims to have been unaware of his unorthodox research practices.

Halford, who died this summer from cancer, ran a clinical trial out of a house on St. Kitts in 2016 to test the experimental vaccine and did not alert U.S. or St. Kitts and Nevis authorities.

Following a KHN report that Halford completed the 2016 trial with no independent safety oversight, the Department of Health and Human Services demanded the university account for the research.

SIU, in an initial response to U.S. authorities, said the university’s institutional review board found “serious noncompliance with regulatory requirements and institutional policies and procedures.”

SIU, like many universities receiving federal research funds, pledged to follow U.S. standards for all clinical trials.

In 2013, Halford, who was a microbiologist not a physician, noted a need for secrecy in one email to a participant, writing that it would be “suicide” if he became too public about how he was conducting his research.

Story #1
https://archive.is/2528W
>Late last night a sudden power outage shut down the world’s busiest airport. With the outage leading to both the FAA and Atlanta’s mayor ordering the suspension and grounding of all flights going both in an out of the airport while work was done to restore power. However the internet detectives over at 4chan have noticed one interesting piece of the story that no one in the mainstream press seems to want to mention. That right in the middle of this over 12 hour supposedly complete air traffic shut down, a single plane was mysteriously allowed to leave the airport. Which leaves us with an obvious question. Just what was so special about this lone permitted flight?

>The latest, and most labyrinthian, story to squint at is “The Storm,” a catch-all name for the theories sprouting up around Q, an anonymous 4chan user who claims to be a “high-level government insider with Q clearance.” Q says he’s tasked with posting intel directly to 4chan to inform “the people” (if that’s what we want to call the gathering of neo-Nazis and misogynists that populate 4chan’s /pol/ thread) about Trump’s overarching plan to “stage a countercoup against members of the deep state.” Look, the lunacy here goes deeper than we can comprehend; thankfully, New York’s Paris Martineau has compiled a helpful primer.

Fingerlings, those colourful chirping monkeys (and sloths and unicorns) that wrap around your finger, have become one of the most desired toys on holiday shopping lists.

Unfortunately, the $25 creatures are sold out online almost everywhere. Toys R Us? Gone. Walmart? None left in stock. Mastermind? Nope.

But check eBay or Amazon, and sellers are offering them for double, triple and quadruple their original price. There is even one being advertised for $5,000.

Hot holiday toys have always been hard to find. The long list of heartbreakers includes Cabbage Patch Kids dolls, which caused parents to mob stores in the 1980s, Tickle Me Elmo in 1996, and a toy version of the “Star Wars” droid BB-8, which quickly sold out in 2015.

But the proliferation of online shopping makes it even tougher to purchase coveted items because of software that snaps them up as soon as they are offered for sale.

“If it’s popular, it’s going to be taken by bots and resold,” said Omri Iluz, the co-founder and chief executive of the cybersecurity firm PerimeterX, in a phone interview.

The bots work by constantly pinging retail websites, searching for sales and analyzing URLs.

The moment an item is in stock, the software runs through the checkout process at a speed that is “completely inhuman,” said Iluz, whose company protects large retailers and other organizations from bot attacks.

> Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Kromberg, the prosecutor in the case, has argued that the defendant “was attracted to Nazis and Islamic terrorists at the same time. Both hate Jews,” reports the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT).
>According to the DOJ, 38-year-old Young, identified by news outlets as a Muslim convert, is facing up to 60 years in prison when he gets sentenced on February 23.

In 1961, Allies (Nazis) & Minorities (Muslims) came together to hear Malcolm X’s speech of “segregation or death,”[http://rarehistoricalphotos.com/george-lincoln-rockwell-attend-nation-islam-1961].
From Wikipedia, in 1965 the "Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee “members sought to break their ties with the mainstream civil rights movement” rationalizing that “blacks needed to build power of their own.” After debating the “meaning of Black Power, issues of black nationalism and black separatism,” SNCC expelled the white members in 1966, & helped ex-white members to created similar support groups including (Feminist, La Raza, & Southern poverty Law). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_Nonviolent_Coordinating_Committee#Stokely_Carmichael_as_chair

WW3 or a tiny ass war?
I don't think it will last long, the North Korean troops are poorly trained and always stressed out. I doubt China would get involved at this point.

TL:DR version? He asked for them.

If anyone who was on President Donald J. Trump’s presidential transition team is surprised that Robert Mueller obtained tens of thousands of their emails by only sending a letter—with no warrant to back it up—to the General Services Administration (GSA), an independent agency of the U.S. government established in 1949 to support federal agencies, then they are naïve.

In this area especially, the Fourth Amendment has been shot full of loopholes.

When there is a “reasonable expectation of privacy” the Fourth Amendment does offer some protection against unreasonable searches and seizures—meaning the government would have to go to a judge to obtain a warrant based on probable cause.

But in a situation such as this, where a third party holds the records, courts have found there is no reasonable expectation of privacy.

In 2010, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, for example, ruled, in Rehberg v. Paulk, that a person does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy once any copy of the email is delivered to a third party—the GSA, in this case, is a third party.

okay, maybe this isn't an actual news, but this is related: could news outlets prosecute politicians for libel or defamation, when they accuse them of making Fake News?

(i asked on /pol/ already, but they immediately went Tinfoil-hat and assumed that all Fake News accusation are defacto truevalid).

I must put a news link to post here, so here is something somewhat related:

By Ryan Van Velzer

>As if cocaine wasn’t deadly enough, federal authorities warned Friday that powerful, synthetic opioids are contaminating South Florida’s cocaine supply.

>Forensic chemists discovered opioid-laced cocaine in more than 180 samples seized by law enforcement over the last two years, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Miami Field Division.

>The contaminated cocaine was found in 21 counties, including Palm Beach and Broward counties. Samples tested in Miami-Dade included 69 instances of cocaine cut with synthetic opioids — more than any other county.

>“People are thinking they are taking straight cocaine and in fact they are not,” said Justin Miller, intelligence chief for the DEA’s Miami Field Division. “Now you are seeing it cut or mixed with synthetic opioids. That’s really what’s scary out there.”

>Chemists found cocaine cut with fentanyl and related substances.

>Fentanyl is a cheap, synthetic painkiller that’s 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, according to the DEA. Even two milligrams of fentanyl, the fraction of a size of a penny, is enough to kill a person.
