Trump Winning Against China

President Donald Trump has pretty much defeated China on both tariffs and drugs. That is the assessment of Styxhexenhammer666, who notes that Trump returned from meeting China at the G-20 in Argentina armed with a temporary tariff freeze and a new crackdown on Chinese fentanyl.

Here, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin praises “breakthrough” of trade truce with China. More from the Daily Mail.

Operation Paperclip

Really Graceful offers a quick introduction to Operation Papeclip and the related MK Ultra program spearheaded by the CIA. What was Operation Paperclip?

This was the program whereby the United States grabbed and reassigned a few thousand of the most elite Nazi scientists at the close of WWII. They worked on projects including the MK Ultra mind control experiments, which have direct ties to today’s #pedogate and other secretive CIA ventures the full likes of which still remain largely under wraps.

Probably good for the government this is so because none of these slimy ventures represent America in a positive light. Like so many Nazi endeavors, they are rotten to the core — experimental manipulations of duped human subjects involving sex, drugs and violence. Some of the victims have been children, forced to engage in truly bizarre, manipulative and inexcusable behavior.

Hollywood’s Closet Libertarians

“A lot of my friends are pro-marijuana legalization, [believe that] prohibition is a nightmare, and that the prison industrial complex is terrible. They won’t describe themselves as libertarian but when you lay out all their points of view for them, that’s what the platform is,” explains Los Angeles-based writer and comedian Heather Anne Campbell. “And then I found out, some of my closest and best friends are just straight-up libertarian.”

Campbell has written for Saturday Night Live, Cartoon Network’s Incredible Crew, The Mightnight Show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, performed with Drew Carey’s Improvaganza and the CW’s Who’s Line is it Anyway? Currently, she writes for a new block of animated programing called Animation Domination High-Def (ADHD) on the Fox network. More from Reason.TV.

What Is Salvia?

Salvia divinorum, despite sounding like a spell from the world of Harry Potter, can’t turn you into an inanimate object, make you leave your body, or set your feet on fire. But it can make you FEEL like all of those things are happening. This little plant is a hallucinogen – one so powerful and unique that the DEA isn’t quite sure how to regulate it. Hank Green’s got the details on this psychotropic member of the sage genus in this episode of SciShow.

Mexico’s Ballsy Female Scribes

Vice went to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, to meet the journalists who cover politics and crime for the Diario de Juarez. All of them are women and they have covered more crimes than anyone we can think of. They are also some of the bravest women we’ve ever met. We followed them around the city as they covered political rallies of the ruling party, PAN, and to crime scenes, to try to understand what happened there over the past few years and why the candidates were not fully addressing the most glaring issue in Mexican politics right now.
