So I have to admit- I'm more comfortable with a highly visible far right gasbag like Bannon being in his current position than I am with Jared and Ivanka subsuming his role. Bannon has proven himself to be a highly visible lightning rod and someone that the media is keeping tabs on, but even if there's this mythical perception that Ivanka and Jared are "more liberal" I'm a bit disturbed by the degree of direct influence that they have over Trump.

Personally, I hope Bannon stays on for Trump's presidency just so we can be treated to endless media focus on his dark little deeds and be regaled with tales of his latest feud with some White House staffer. At least that way it's more unlikely that Trump gets some hosed up major policy changes through.

A lot of leftists groups WERE under surveillance in those times though. And a lot of right wing groups now are probably under watch (well maybe not with trump in charge, but with Obama they were).

The difference is the right wing groups should be under surveillance due to involvements with Russians, white supremacist terrorist organization and allowing Ted loving Cruz to still exist.

Leftists should be under surveillance due to involvement with Russians (selling 20% of our uranium), Benghazi, Goerge Soros, emails, etc. etc. etc.

Both sides are just two sides of the same coin. One side just isn't hiding it as much anymore.

Well this is something.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un recently ordered the deportation of nearly 600,000 Pyongyang residents to the suburbs, a local source told the JoongAng Ilbo Monday.

The deportation represents one-fourth of Pyongyang’s current population of 2.6 million. It is not known when they will be forced to move or to where.

“Population control was the pretext of the latest order,” said the source, who asked for anonymity, “but in reality, the purpose is to ‘purify’ the North Korean capital and allow only the loyal elite class to live there.”

Among those who were chosen by authorities to move are people whose relatives defected to South Korea, had been jailed in a prison camp, used drugs or counterfeit money, and produced, distributed or sold pirated films from the South.

I missed this in the article:

quote:

The man not long ago dubbed the “shadow president” — with singular influence over Trump’s agenda and the workings of the federal government — is struggling to keep his job with his portfolio reduced and his profile damaged, according to interviews Wednesday with 21 of Trump’s aides, confidants and allies. Some colleagues described Bannon as a stubborn recluse who had failed to build a reservoir of goodwill within the West Wing.

Unbelievable how much this White House leaks.

It was only 50MT and could have been theoretically jacked to 100MT but wasn't.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Bravo#Deuterium_and_lithium

TL;DR: A estimated 5 Megaton device turned into a 15 Megaton device because Lithium-7 turns out not to be inert. Combined with Deuterium, Lithium-7 produces Tritium and an Alpha particle, which then creates more Tritium.

quote:

It was assumed that the lithium-7 would absorb one neutron, producing lithium-8, which decays (through beryllium-8) to a pair of alpha particles on a timescale of seconds, vastly longer than the timescale of nuclear detonation. However, when lithium-7 is bombarded with energetic neutrons, rather than simply absorbing a neutron, it captures the neutron and decays almost instantly into an alpha particle, a tritium nucleus, and another neutron. As a result, much more tritium was produced than expected, the extra tritium fusing with deuterium and producing an extra neutron. The extra neutron produced by fusion and the extra neutron released directly by lithium-7 decay produced a much larger neutron flux. The result was greatly increased fissioning of the uranium tamper and increased yield.[citation needed]
