From RR

• Report: press freedom falls around the world.
• The US tries to prop up the Somali army but doesn’t pay the soldiers so some switch sides.
• State daftness from the left: women aboard US submarines. I was shocked to learn they’re aboard fighting surface ships. PCness’ game of ‘gender, only a construct’ vs the reality of the sexes then handing out condoms and pills (but don’t the PC love nature? Oh, right, I’ll sit down and shut up) and, when that fails, abortions to handle the inevitable problems. Summing up, from ex-career Army officer Brian Mitchell, this breaks down discipline and morale (relationships and breakups etc. aboard ship and on post, and women can cry their way to a discharge more easily), and helps destroy marriages at home (even more damaging than the immemorial practice of servicemen on leave hiring prostitutes), and most women don’t have the physical strength needed for combat (now it takes five sailors to do what four could).
• Let’s try for more DNA exonerations. 250 so far.
• Giving up liberty for nothing.
