LONDON – During the recent UK general election, a key attack line for the Labour party was to cast Prime Minister Boris Johnson as the lapdog of Donald Trump. Johnson, if elected, would be a pliant English poodle to the pit-bull-in-chief and would roll over obediently in post-Brexit US-UK trade negotiations, warned Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Reading Time: < 1minute Donald Trump’s impeachment trial not only exposed the president’s wrongdoing, but also the twisted hypocrisy of Ken Starr, Alan Dershowitz, and others.

A virus moving at a rapid pace through China — and through the rest of the world more slowly — may soon arrive in your neighborhood, depending on where you live. 

So far, when those who are otherwise healthy become infected, they tend to develop relatively mild cases, but the situation is rapidly evolving — and the complete clinical picture is not yet clear.

Donald Trump’s lawyers keep insisting that the president did not commit a crime. This may even be true in a narrow and fundamentally irrelevant sense. But to say the president did not “commit a crime” is not the same as saying the president broke no law. The overwhelming preponderance of available evidence is that Trump has broken a host of laws and has claimed that, as president, he has the right to break any law he chooses.

There have been doubts about the officially confirmed cases and deaths in China, which some claim could be much higher that admitted.

Harvard public health scientist Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding is describing the current coronavirus outbreak as bad—”thermonuclear pandemic level bad.”

The virus, now known as 2019-nCoV, has killed 82 people, infected almost 3,000 more, and spread to multiple other countries—and Dr. Feigl-Ding has been tweeting about it non-stop since last week. It is the third time since 2003 that a coronavirus has made the jump from animals to humans.

Federal prosecutors in the United States have said that Prince Andrew has provided “zero” cooperation with their investigation into the crimes of the Duke’s long-time friend Jeffrey Epstein.

LONDON — Ricky, Ricky, Ricky (Gervais), what have you done? You crazy, mixed-up comedy kid (aged 58). I love your work, dude. The Office, Extras,and After Life are innovative comedy gold in the Larry David class, but your edgy Golden Globe monologue roasting Hollywood pieties has been reverse-engineered into a monster on social media.

In this super-charged political environment, imagine a group of 30 people with — at times widely — different views coming together to discuss politics. Imagine further that they have been given the means and opportunities to attack each other over those viewpoints, and that they are all competing for one job. Finally, and this might seem like the biggest stretch, imagine that all of them refrain from doing so and are staying entirely civil. Sounds impossible?
