#HERTOO? ‘Empowered Medusa’ to Stand Outside Courthouse Where Harvey Weinstein Was Sentenced.

Those entering the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse: beware. A seven-foot-tall statue of Greek mythological Gorgon, Medusa, will be greeting you. Twitter user Marlene Bonnelly shared the exciting news of the statue’s home on Thursday evening. Manhattan Criminal Courthouse has seen many trials over the years, including the sentencing of Harvey Weinstein.

“Luciano Garbati, the sculptor behind quite possibly my favorite piece of art ever (Medusa with the head of Perseus) just announced that he received permission from the City of NY to install a bronze version of her for the public to enjoy!” she announced. “I AM SO EXCITED.”

The statue “will be on view from October 13, 2020 – April 30, 2021:”

In Ovid’s Metamorphosis, Medusa was a maiden in the temple of Athena, who was stalked and raped by Poseidon. Athena, in a rage, banishes and curses Medusa with a monstrous head of snakes and a gaze which turns men to stone. Medusa is herself blamed and punished for the crime of which she was the victim; she is cast away as a monster and then with the cruel assistance of Athena and Poseidon, eventually is hunted-down and beheaded by the epic hero Perseus, who displays her head as a trophy on his shield. Garbati’s sculpture speaks directly to the 16th Century Florentine bronze masterpiece Perseus with the Head of Medusa by Benvenuto Cellini (1545-1554). Through this work, Garbati asks ‘how can a triumph be possible if you are defeating a victim?’”

To paraphrase J.B.S. Haldane, 2020 is not only stranger than we imagine; it is stranger than we can imagine.

SAY ANYTHING: Biden Rewrites History on Trump’s Proud Boys Comment.

WE CAN HOPE: U.S. space mining policies may trigger regulatory ‘race to the bottom,’ scientists warn. Well if “a pair of Canadian scientists” are upset. . .

“It’s not the Artemis Accords alone that are problematic,” Michael Byers, professor of global politics and international law at the University of British Columbia, told UPI in an email. “Rather, it’s the ongoing and concerted U.S. diplomatic effort to promote national regulation of space mining and to proceed with resource extraction before a multilateral agreement has been negotiated.”

Good.

REPORT: Pelosis Take a Big Stake in CrowdStrike. “The cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike rose to global prominence in mid-June 2016 when it publicly accused Russia of hacking the Democratic National Committee and stealing its data. The previously unknown company’s explosive allegation set off a seismic chain of events that engulfs U.S. national politics to this day. The Hillary Clinton campaign seized on CrowdStrike’s claim by accusing Russia of meddling in the election to help Donald Trump. U.S. intelligence officials would soon also endorse CrowdStrike’s allegation and pursue what amounted to a multi-year, all-consuming investigation of Russian interference and Trump’s potential complicity…Recent financial disclosure filings show that the House speaker and her husband, Paul Pelosi, have invested up to $1 million in CrowdStrike Holdings.”

STEVE SCULLY’S QUESTION FOR ANTHONY SCARAMUCCI RAISES EYEBROWS AHEAD OF DEBATE: Debate moderator questioned after asking Scaramucci on Trump.

The moderator of the planned second debate between President Trump and Joe Biden sparked objectivity questions after he publicly asked former White House comms chief-turned-Trump foe Anthony Scaramucci for advice, according to a report.

Steve Scully, political editor of C-SPAN and host of “Washington Journal,” sent Scaramucci what apparently was meant to be a private message, Fox News reported.

“@Scaramucci should I respond to trump,” Scully wrote.

“Ignore. He is having a hard enough time. Some more bad stuff about to go down,” responded “The Mooch,” who was famously fired after his rocky 11-day stint as White House communications director in 2018.

The president had told Fox News host Sean Hannity late Thursday that Scully was a “never-Trumper — and I think somebody said he worked for Biden at one point.”

Right on cue: Debate Commission co-chair on Steve Scully’s deleted tweet to Anthony Scaramucci: ‘He was hacked. It didn’t happen.’ “Otherwise known as the ‘Joy Reid Defense:’

And from Steve at the start of the month: Seriously? Moderator of Second Presidential Debate Served as an Intern for Joe Biden.

CAROLINE GLICK IS RIGHT ABOUT THE TURKISH THREAT, but this makes it sound like the bigger threat was internal:

Obama and his vice president, Joe Biden, sought to restructure the U.S. alliance system in the Middle East away from Israel and the U.S.’s traditional Sunni Arab allies and toward Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Glad we’ve moved past that, but I expect if Biden is elected we’ll go back to siding with our enemies.
