THERE’S A SURPRISE: Hong Kong refuses to seize sanctioned Russian superyacht. “Hong Kong said Tuesday that it would not seize the superyacht of a Russian oligarch who is under Western sanctions.

The ship had made the week-long voyage from Vladivostok to Hong Kong.”

SCIENCE: The Cerebellum Has a Function We Didn’t Even Know About, New Research Reveals.

RECENT EXPERIENCE SUGGESTS THAT THERE WILL BE MORE “SURVEILLANCE” THAN THERE WILL BE “SMART:” Pandemic prep needs ‘smart surveillance’ to predict viral spillovers.

The first anti-pandemic program should involve not subsidizing “gain of function” research. And maybe we should make some ugly examples of those who have skirted the law already.

FOLLOW THE SCIENCE? “Psychologists and other social scientists have been studying human sex differences for 100 years, and in recent decades have demonstrated that many of the differences that emerge in Western cultures are found in every other culture in which they have been studied.”

Plus: “Academia has changed in various ways over the past few decades. By no means are all of these changes the direct or inevitable result of changing sex ratios. Nevertheless, some of the most drastic developments over the past 25 years share a common theme: They reflect the priorities of women.”

BIDEN’S FBI STORMTROOPERS RAID ANOTHER PRO-LIFE ACTIVIST IN EARLY-MORNING RAID, ASSAULT WEAPONS AT THE READY, IN FRONT OF HIS YOUNG CHILDREN:

A cadre of armed FBI agents descended on the family home of one of the 11 pro-life activists targeted by President Joe Biden’s Justice Department for peacefully protesting outside an abortion clinic in Tennessee.

The DOJ charged pro-life leader Paul Vaughn with “a civil rights conspiracy” and a Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act) offense over the activist blockade of a Nashville-area abortion facility in early March 2021. A federal indictment unsealed Wednesday alleges that the pro-life defendants “engaged in a conspiracy to prevent the clinic from providing” and patients from receiving abortion services and violated the FACE Act by “using physical obstruction to intimidate and interfere with the clinic’s employees and a patient.”

If convicted, Vaughn faces up to 11 years in prison, three years supervised release and fines of up to $350,000.

Vaughn, the president of Personhood Tennessee, told FOX Chattanooga at the time that it was “like church service in there” with pro-life protestors “singing hymns, reading scripture, praying,” and sitting on the floor in the hallway outside of Carafem Health Center Clinic, an abortion facility located within a medical office building.

PUBLIC EDUCATION SECRECY EVEN IN DEEP-RED OKLAHOMA: Ray Carter of the Oklahoma Council on Public Affairs’ Center for Independent Journalism reports that the state’s superintendent of public schools, Joy Hofmeister, has refused for more than a year to provide documents detailing how she developed her proposed COVID19 restrictions during the Pandemic.

The Oklahoma Board of Education actually rejected Hofmeister’s plan as unnecessarily restrictive, but there remains a significant public interest in knowing how she developed her proposal, with whom did she consult and what did she view as credible evidence for her approach.

One of the problems here is the absence in the Oklahoma public records act of a provision requiring officials to respond concretely within a reasonable period of time, or face litigation and the prospect of a judge ordering release of requested documents. Somebody in the Oklahoma State Legislature should take note of this and get a remedy proposed ASAP.

RIP: Angela Lansbury, ‘Murder, She Wrote’ star and legendary Hollywood actress, dead at 96.

In the 1940s, Lansbury and her family headed to New York where Moyna kicked off her acting career and embarked on a tour. The family eventually traveled to Los Angeles where Moyna helped her daughter land a screen test at MGM. At age 17, Lansbury made her movie debut in 1944’s “Gaslight.” The role earned her an Oscar nomination. She went on to play Elizabeth Taylor’s sister in “National Velvet” that year.

The following year brought another Oscar nomination for Lansbury, thanks to 1945’s “The Picture of Dorian Gray.” At 19, Lansbury married leading man Richard Cromwell. The couple separated nine months later and Lansbury learned the actor was gay. The two remained friends until his death in 1960 from cancer.

In 1949, Lansbury married Peter Shaw, a British actor who later became a Hollywood agent, in London. Moyna served as matron of honor. Lansbury kept busy pursuing a thriving career both on the big screen, on television and on the stage. At one point, she played Elvis Presley’s mother in 1961’s “Blue Hawaii” despite the actress being 10 years older than the singer.

In 1962, she played Laurence Harvey’s mother in “The Manchurian Candidate.” For this role, she was three years older than her on-screen son. It earned Lansbury her third Oscar nomination.

Nobody ever looked at solitaire the same since.
