He looks and sounds enough like early 1960s JFK and his dad RFK to trigger the nostalgia vote of the good ol' pre-Vietnam days.

I mean, it was a trial. Anyone who partakes in a scientific trial like this assumes the risk.

And, I will note, as PeteS alluded to... the trial ultimately was unsuccessful, and though AZ sold it outside the United States, it was never authorized here, not even for emergency use.

The reason AZ did not submit its clinical trials data to the FDA in an application for Emergency Use Authorization is that in the trials in Brazil the dosing for one of the two shots was incorrect, basically making the data from Brazil useless. By the time this was discovered, Pfizer and Moderna were about to receive their authorizations and AZ decided that being late to the US market would go poorly. The UK and EuroLand, apparently, were satisfied with the data AZ had (they did trials in the US, UK, and South Africa, that I remember). In following news about vaccines, treatments, and related stuff (e.g. PPE) my focus was the US because I live here and my personal bandwidth isn't infinite.

Just more dishonest euphemisms for surrendering to Putin.

Inviting Russia to join in these celebrations would be a grandstand showing that at least some of the sacred values of Western civilization are still alive.

This is just plain stupid because Putin is just as bad as both Hitler and Stalin, and never negotiates anything in good faith.

Question:
“What happens when Border Patrol encounters someone who has crossed the border illegally?”

Answer:
It doesn't matter.

Regardless of what happens to them, they're "in".
That's all that counts.

What "course" does Edward Lozansky suggest that does not mean Ukraine continuing to fight or surrendering to Russian invaders? He's on "American Thinker" so I doubt he's thought that far.

How I wish @Quix was still alive... really pisses me off that nobody seems to be interested in the topic.

As Linda says...it doesn't fare well for people of the earth to find that our REALITY is classified.

I've eaten a mealworm and a cricket at festival before, and they seemed pretty tasteless.  A 2 inch long Cicada?  I'll pass.

What Animals Eat Cicadas
Birds
Many species of birds enjoy cicadas as a nutritious treat. They can be seen feasting on these insect delicacies when they emerge. Examples of birds that eat cicadas include:

Robins
Blue Jays
Woodpeckers
Mammals
Among the mammals that consider cicadas to be a tasty snack, you’ll find rodents, bats, and larger mammals like foxes and raccoons. Some examples are:

Squirrels
Rats
Opossums
Skunks
Invertebrates
Cicadas also fall prey to various invertebrates. Cicada-hunter wasps, spiders, and other insects see them as a valuable food source. A few examples of invertebrate predators include:

Cicada-hunter wasps
Ground beetles
Dragonflies
Robber flies

Notice no mention of Humans!

The Undersecretary is right.  A "Drone Corps" sounds like terrible idea: Given what we've learned from the war in Ukraine, drone use and anti-drone countermeasures should be integrated into all units down to the platoon level, not separated out into another bureaucratic arm of the Army.
