First photos of Chinese-run lab in California experimenting with dangerous viruses and engineering mice

(paragraph below is a summary from a different source)

 Chinese medical company Prestige Biotech operated an unlicensed biolab near Fresno, California, from October 2022 until it was raided in March 2023. Inside, local officials found crowded into plastic bins hundreds of lab mice that had been adapted to carry the COVID-19 virus; biological samples of blood, tissue, and body fluids from humans; and samples of infectious diseases like malaria, COVID-19, tuberculosis, HIV, and multiple strains of herpes. As of Tuesday, the city of Reedley, California, has disposed of 5,000 gallons of biological waste from the lab. Who exactly was operating the lab, and what precisely they were doing there, remains unclear. 

And I doubt this is the only lab.

This is a gargantuan story because earlier releases about this lab did NOT disclose that it was run by a Chinese firm. Now, add in this layer of attack that was only partially brought to light this week about serious vulnerabilities in Microsoft's cloud platform (and which aren't really completely fixed, if the researchers who found the exploit are right) with the Washington Post story (paywalled; I only got to read courtesy of a friend that gave me a copy) that Chinese hackers breached the emails of Commerce Secretary Raimondo and State department officials.

You start to see the scope of the problem: the people in charge don't really seem to realize or care how vulnerable we are as a result of their malfeasance; or, they are actively trying to make it possible for China to break us as a country completely. But then, we've seen this mindset for quite a while now.

Guess who learned new words!

"Today, I am pleased to announce that the next steps in our work together will be about further expanding our partnership. In particular, we will discuss the work that we will do together to strengthen our space cooperation," Harris said. "You and I spoke briefly about the beginning of the next era — and, for you, what that means, in terms of your leadership and your vision for the future, and certainly, strengthening our space cooperation would be a part of that agenda — including, of course, using our space cooperation to think about how we strengthen the economic prosperity and development of our nations."

I cannot believe, for one minute, that she never took or passed a Communications 101 class in college, which used to be required to graduate college.

And this is Biden (or his handlers) spiking the football for... seeking to have his chief political opponent jailed.  

He's rubbing our faces in it.

Banana Republic, it's not just a clothing store any more.

I can't imagine anyone giving a speech in a freshman comm class and getting A's for the speeches she gives.

I think so. I looked it up a few months ago and discovered the URL doesn't find a host. That means the DNS entry is probably pointing to a server that doesn't exist anymore.
