"Is the age-old Russian love affair with vodka on the rocks?
In recent years, more and more Russians have ditched their national drink, preferring to sip craft beer and sample wine.
Vodka remains a huge part of the country's culture, something that has had deadly consequences for its male population.
According to the most recent World Health Organization data (2010), 30 percent of all male adults engaged in heavy episodic drinking in the past month.
Excessive alcoholism among men has resulted in an average life expectancy of just 64 years of age, far behind the rest of Europe.
The following infographic used more recent WHO data to show how the situation is changing..."

"A Columbia University internal report has issued a 151-page “Equity Report” proposing solutions to “close salary gaps” and address “race disparities" in the university workforce.

This Invasion Can’t Be Organic - And It Must Be Stopped - The Rush Limbaugh Show:
So there’s nothing unconstitutional or illegal about the president doing what Woodrow Wilson did, put tens of thousands of people on the border and make sure nobody forces their way in.
RUSH: It’s a no-brainer, folks. It is a no-brainer. The president can do that and has committed to it. You da… He may not send the military into Mexico, as Congressman Gohmert says there, but there’s no law says you can’t. This isn’t… What if 7,000 Russians were about to force their way into the U.K.? What if 7,000 Russians were about to force their way through the southern border to try to affect the midterm elections?
Ha! What if we could make that case? What do you think the people would be demanding Trump do? Stand aside and let the 7,000 Russians in so they can hack our computers and make sure the Republicans win the midterms? It’s a joke, folks. It’s a joke. You never know who’s listening. I’m just asking you: What if it’s 7,000 Russian communist pinkos trying to get in? It’s an invasion either way you look at.

"This Saturday eleven people were killed by a shooter in a Pittsburgh synagogue during morning services.
The shooter appears to someone who not only hates Jews, but hates President Trump as well.

Julia Joffe, a GQ correspondent, finds a way to blame Trump for this mayhem:
FollowFollow @juliaioffeMoreAnd a word to my fellow American Jews: This president makes this possible. Here. Where you live. I hope the embassy move over there, where you don’t live was worth it.-9:22 AM - 27 Oct 2018
It will be interesting to see how the rest of the mainstream media handles the background of the man responsible and contrasts it with this week’s perfervid reportage of the man who mailed dud nonfunctioning “bombs” to prominent Democrats and some media.
Without a serious look at the background of the dud bomber, much of the press leaped to blame the president.
Theothermccain dug deeper into it.
While described as a “Seminole Indian” and a fervent Trump supporter, the suspect, Cesar Sayoc is the son of a Puerto Rican immigrant with a long arrest record for making bomb threats, petty theft, grand theft, battery, drug possession, and domestic violence.
Some of these offenses would appear to be felonies and yet until 2016, after years of being registered as a Democrat, he changed his registration to Republican -- something peculiar in a state that bars felons from voting.
...Truly this meme about toning down political speech is one the press likes as a means of silencing the critics of its own partisan, slipshod work and the policies and character of its darlings on the left.
In any event it’s wise to remember that the press follows the “if it bleeds, it leads” by sensationalizing such things. As Seawriter sagely observes we’ve lived through far crazier times.
Keep your perspective."

FLASHBACK: Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel And Sarah Silverman All Wore Blackface | The Daily Caller
"Megyn Kelly lost her job at NBC within 48 hours of saying it was considered okay when she was a child for white people to put on “blackface” as long as they “were dressing up as a character.”
Three popular anti-Trump comedians did much more than simply talk about it — and they are all still employed.

Three popular anti-Trump comedians did much more than simply talk about it — and they are all still employed.
Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman actually dressed in “blackface” themselves at some point during their career.
Kimmel, while the host of Comedy Central’s “The Man Show,” dressed up more than once in blackface makeup, a bald cap and a body suit to portray former Utah Jazz basketball star Karl Malone as an inarticulate, dim-witted person who had difficulty pronouncing words correctly.
While Jimmy Fallon was hosting the Golden Globes in 2017, his Chris Rock impression reminded the producers of the one he did while at Saturday Night Live in 2000 – in blackface.
In 2007, comedian Sarah Silverman donned “the most racist blackface” in a comedy sketch on “The Sarah Silverman Program,” a move she later said she regrets. (RELATED: Megyn Kelly Reportedly Out At NBC After ‘Blackface’ Comments)
