The central question remains, and unfortunately it is a question that cannot be answered except by dropping all pretenses. That question is: Was the SARS-CoV-2 release ‘accidental’ or done with ‘intent’. On her last day as Director of National Intelligence, and I am certain she will never return, what Tulsi Gabbard releases is alarming evidence […]

A Slate reviewer delivered a scathing verdict on Vice President JD Vance's new memoir, arguing the book accidentally revealed how much politics has "corrupted" its author."Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith" is Vance's first book since "Hillbilly Elegy" and was released Tuesday in what many read as a soft launch for a 2028 run. In a review published Thursday, Molly Olmstead wrote that the book is essentially two books crammed into one. For its first 177 pages, she wrote, it's a "thoughtful" meditation on trauma, fatherhood, and Vance's winding path from evangelical Christianity to atheism to Catholicism.Then, Olmstead argued, it falls apart. "From that point on, Communion, which came out on Tuesday, is a stiff and unimaginative political memoir. It deploys an eye-roll-worthy staff of straw men as it defends Trump’s policies," she wrote.The break comes right after Vance nods to his "evolution from Trump critic to Trump supporter" and pivots to defending the administration. Olmstead traced the divide to timing, noting much of the thoughtful first half appears to predate Vance's 2022 Senate run, with one passage lifted almost verbatim from a 2020 essay. She flagged a jarring later passage about Vance stockpiling ammunition over the "China virus" as the moment the tone sours. The book, she concluded, is a window into his devolution."The tragedy of Vance’s new book is that this split reminds you of who he used to be. It’s not only that he squandered a decent beginning, but that he revealed how far he has fallen from the thoughtful young man who once had something original to say," she wrote.She found the ending unnerving, citing Vance's wish to return America to a "Western Christian civilization" given he "just may be our future president."Olmstead's critique comes after The Wall Street Journal's Barton Swaim ripped the book for "egregious sloppiness," and readers buried it in one-star Goodreads reviews within hours.She concluded the book offers a "window into just how much the thoughtful boy in Hillbilly Elegy allowed himself to be corrupted by politics."
President Donald Trump spent $14.2 million to paint the Reflecting Pool a blue color. The water immediately turned green in the hot Washington D.C., sunshine. Now, taxpayers are funding millions more to fix the problem. The cleanup adds another nearly $2 million to the cost of the renovations, the Columbus Post Dispatch reported. An Ohio company known as Green Water Services scored the contract. The company claims on its website that it has the "only water purification system in the world whose patented technology is backed by government and academic research."A reporter witnessed workers pouring hydrogen peroxide into the reflecting pool on Tuesday. Staff have been scooping the algae, vacuuming the algae and also deploying the "patented technology" from Green Water Services.The CEO of Green Water is Al George, who was also quoted by a New York Times report a month ago as bragging "about the prospect that the government would hire the company to bring mobile, trailer-based filtration systems — seemingly a temporary stopgap — to treat the pool’s water."As recently as mid-May, the administration knew there would be a continuing algae problem. The public contract information on the project shows that their work on the reflecting pool will go on through September 30.George told the San Diego Union-Tribune in January that their technology can achieve an average 93 percent reduction in bacteria "on the days we treated.""The technology uses self-contained units that require only electrical power to operate. The machines bring in air, remove nitrogen to create 95 percent pure oxygen, then feed that oxygen into an ozone generator. The ozonated water passes through a patented nanobubble generator that creates the microscopic bubbles as water is drawn in and expelled back out," the Union-Tribune explained.When Trump announced the project, he bragged, "It's going to be beautiful. It's going to be waterproof. It's going to be reflecting again."He wrote on Truth Social on May 16, "Also, went to a higher quality sealer with more reflectivity. Check it out before the Opening — It's a very exciting project!” the president said.The Times also reported that these contracts were awarded through a no-bid process. Typically, the government will take several bids to compare the costs for the project and ensure they're getting the best deal. David Schutzenhofer, who manages Trump's golf and country club in New Jersey, was picked to spearhead the Reflecting Pool project.The total project will now cost nearly $16 million. The Washington Post recruited Alana Menendez, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Virginia’s Department of Environmental Sciences, to research the Reflecting Pool algae over the past several years using satellite data. The recent tests show 2026 is one of the top years for algae in the reflecting pool. The amount of algae generally follows the weather and the sunlight. So when the city experienced a heatwave in 2019-2021, the amount of algae in the pool also soared. Around the time the pool was refilled, the city was facing another unseasonable heat spike.
