Why the Scariest Nuclear Threat May Be Coming from Inside the White House
Donald Trump's secretary of energy, Rick Perry, once campaigned to
abolish the $30 billion agency that he now runs, which oversees
everything from our nuclear arsenal to the electrical grid. The
department's budget is now on the chopping block. But does anyone
in the White House really understand what the Department of Energy
actually does? And what a horrible risk it would be to ignore its
extraordinary, life-or-death responsibilities?

From Russia With Blood
Lavish London mansions. A hand-painted Rolls-Royce. And eight dead friends.
For the British fixer Scot Young, working for Vladimir Putin's most vocal
critic meant stunning perks - but also constant danger. His gruesome death
is one of 14 that US spy agencies have linked to Russia - but the UK police
shut down every last case. A bombshell cache of documents today reveals the
full story of a ring of death on British soil that the government has
ignored.

Faith, Certainty and the Presidency of George W. Bush
By Ron Suskind
Oct. 17, 2004
https://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/17/magazine/faith-certainty-and-the-presidency-of-george-w-bush.html
====================
Between 1980 and 2014, an average of 64 police officers were killed in the
line of duty. This actually rose to 135 deaths in 2016. It is assumed that
policing can be dangerous and we allow officers to be armed, we train them
to defend themselves and we give them a certain latitude in defending
themselves.
On the other hand, 700 to 900 women die in the US every year from pregnancy
related causes. For every woman who dies from a pregnancy related cause,
70 nearly die.
Why isn't the issue of abortion choice a matter of self
defense for women? It should be the choice of whether or not a woman should
face the risks of pregnancy. I could point out that there are also a lot of
non-fatal risks associated with pregnancy, additionally.
