None of the declassified information supports the claim that any previous election results — including the 2020 presidential contest that Trump lost — were manipulated by foreign interference or fraud in a way that would’ve changed the outcome.

Yup, dementia addled moron is full of shit. What a shocker.

The proposed data center, built by the Atlanta firm DC BLOX, would be located about 50 yards from the boundary of the Nashville Zoo, officials told NBC News, or just half a football field away. The zoo is “vehemently opposed to having a data center so close to animals” because the “noise could disturb its residents,” Nashville Zoo President and CEO Rick Schwartz said to NBC.

When the boreal forests of Canada catch on fire, no one can do anything about it in many cases. The forests are part of Earth’s largest land biome, a greenbelt of wilderness that encircles the globe, and they’ve been suffering from the planet’s thermostat being jacked up. Wood-boring pests that flourish in milder climates have swept north and east, through tens of millions of acres. Droughts and dwindling snowpack have stressed the trees. They are ready to burn.

Many people simply don’t grasp the sheer magnitude of the boreal forest or what it would take to manage fires across its enormous area, Jed Kaplan, a professor in the Department of Earth, Energy, and Environment at the University of Calgary, told me: “You can’t control these fires. You cannot put personnel, fire engines, over an area that is the size of the entire American South, or something like that. It’s just way too big of an area.”

And so the fires spread, pouring out smoke that washes over the residents of faraway cities. The “Ontario Armageddon” (as one wildfire newsletter called it), along with several large fires burning in northern-Minnesota forests, has left Toronto with some of the worst air quality in the world this week and has shrouded New York City in a sickly gray haze. Canada has 869 active fires at the moment, and most are burning in wilderness areas where authorities monitor them but don’t try to put them out.

The Trump administration is reviving a rule that could deny green cards to immigrants who use public benefits that could include food stamps, Medicaid, housing vouchers and others. The policy, known as “public charge,” appeared on Thursday in the Federal Register. It will be formally published on July 20 and take effect Sept. 18. Under the policy, applicants for green cards have to show they wouldn’t be burdens to the country or “public charges.”

The European Union and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) should build a lasting cooperation platform, which could be named the Free and Fair Trade Club, in order to achieve various geostrategic aims, researchers at the German Economic Institute in Cologne say.

In addition to free and fair trade, its guiding principles should include voluntary cooperation, variable geometry and open plurilateralism, a report says (opens pdf).

Pooling the economic weight of Free and Fair Trade Club members’ markets would create a power base that these middle powers could leverage in relations with the great powers, the United States and China, in the medium to longer term.

The US and China are undermining the rules-based international order by using power politics and by employing coercive measures. The US uses blunt tariff and security threats, and thus projects the power of its market size and military might in order to force one-sided and unbalanced trade and investment concessions from partners with an aggressive focus on “America First” objectives.

China also uses coercive measures by exploiting its near monopoly in the production of important and often critical raw materials to the serious detriment of affected partners. Moreover, China’s state capitalism undermines the world trading order by using loopholes in the multilateral trade rules framework. Massive economic distortions – that emanate from outsized direct and indirect subsidies in the Chinese economy and from a large undervaluation of its currency – contribute to the record merchandise trade surplus of China. This beggar-thy-neighbour policy comes at the costs of its trading partners and hollows out their industrial bases.

...

Furthermore, the US and China defy international law: the US does so in Venezuela and Iran, and China does so by acting aggressively in the South China Sea and by threatening Taiwan. Both countries propagate a world in which might makes right.

The CPTPP is a plurilateral trade agreement with 12 members: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United Kingdom and Vietnam. CPTPP members represent about 13% of world GDP and about 15% of global trade.

...

On top of this, several additional countries are currently interested in joining the CPTPP. However, China’s accession plea does not appear very promising as Beijing used coercive trade measures in recent political conflicts with Australia and Japan, two important CPTPP members. From the perspective of the EU, several free trade agreements (FTAs) have already been concluded with most CPTPP members except Brunei, while negotiations are ongoing with Malaysia.

Sequel to the 2022 film The Batman.
