The Globalization of White Supremacy
“Terrorism” today conjures images of ISIS fighters and suicide bombers. But if you ask national security officials about the top near-term terrorism threat on their radar, they almost universally point to the rising problem of white nationalist violence and the insidious way that groups that formerly existed locally have been knitting themselves together into a global web of white supremacism.....
Uhm... yeah, right. When your article comes right out the gate reeking of BS it sort of sets the tone for the rest of the crap your article spouts. So this is the #1 worry because one white supremacy group has been identified by the State Department as a terrorist organization for the first time? Really? In the face of how many dozens of Islamofascist terrorist groups identified for decades, we're going to fear monger white supremacists and even throw nationalism under the same bus now? Needless to say this is intended to push a narrative and little else.......
Nukes....
Nuclear weapons always end up at the top of government risk lists, but it’s easy for the public to forget. “The persistent risk of nuclear war is something that we have anxiety fatigue from,” Matheny says. “We grow tired of talking about nuclear war.”
MAD has kept us from this for the past 70 years and, IMO, will continue to do so as long as we prevent zealot #holes like Iran and North Korea from obtaining nukes. To do that we must never lift our boot from the necks of those nations. If we end up with an international nuclear attack incident, it will come about thanks to letting our guard down.
Climate Change.....
Covid-19’s Next-Level Impact.....

We've sadly seen it in action, so it's easy to presume that gameplan will be the norm.
If it’s the norm — will you conform?
Modern norm compliance has never been my forte. I adhere to laws and standards that make sense to me, ones that don't or which I openly disagree with... not so much. (and yeah, I do so with full expectation of attempted consequences at some point, but administering those consequences likely come with some significant consequences of their own.)

My new reply to anyone who starts playing Polly Panic-Pants over people going back to work is, “Okay, Doomer”.

Yes...
Scientists are preparing for a potential close encounter of the viral kind.
Researchers say that when humans return from a planned visit to Mars in the 2030s, they’ll have to quarantine because rock samples from the Red Planet could be as dangerous as Ebola — even if the likelihood they are is low.
