The Mueller report is still mostly mystery and the guy who auditioned for his role so effusively, Mr. Barr, has been a good doggie.

That's what you get when judges are politically appointed and affiliated.Originally posted by Dreamtimer
Here in Belgium, judges are neither elected nor politically appointed. They are public servants and they must climb up the ladder of the justice system by taking exams and having years of experience, and then a committee will decide, just as with other job applications.
The same is true for local police chiefs. We don't have any sheriffs around here, although there used to be something similar to a sheriff in the past for smaller backwater villages. But even they were not elected ─ they were appointed, and they usually didn't have any deputies either. Nowadays, villages don't even have a local police station anymore. There has been a centralization, with multiple larger regional police zones, patrolled and supervised by a police corps local to that zone. And the commander in chief of the local corps is a public servant. He or she must ultimately answer to the mayor, like any other public servant, although the mayor generally does not concern himself/herself with personnel matters ─ one of his deputies generally takes care of that for recruitment, together with the human resources department of Town Hall or City Hall, and the head of a town or city's personnel is always the Town/City Manager, who is also a public servant, not a politician.
In Belgium, the mayor himself/herself is a (commonly party-affiliated) politician, but in the Netherlands, even that is no longer the case. In the Netherlands, the mayor, too, is a public servant.
By the way, we also have a different designation for what we call independent politicians. Over here, an independent politician is someone who was elected for a certain role ─ e.g. in parliament or as a town council member ─ as a member of an existing political party, but who then at some point and for some reason left or was ousted from the party they were with when they were elected. They often end up joining or creating another party later.

Here’s what Jair Bolsonaro, Trump, and Putin have in common
The first line of Jon Lee Anderson’s long-awaited profile of Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro in the New Yorker is a real killer. “The authoritarian leaders taking power around the world share a vocabulary of intolerance, insult, and menace…”
Excerpt:
Like many autocrats, Bolsonaro came to power with a suddenness that alarmed the élites. He had run a low-budget campaign, consisting mostly of a social-media effort overseen by his son Carlos. At events with supporters, he posed for selfies making a gesture as if he were shooting a machine gun. He promised to “reconstruct the country”—and to return power to a political right that had been in eclipse for decades. In the inaugural ceremony, he vowed to “rescue the family, respect religions and our Judeo-Christian tradition, combat gender ideology, conserving our values.”
Afterward, Bolsonaro received a procession of foreign dignitaries, and as they stepped up to pay their respects the crowd greeted them with cheers or boos. The Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orbán got perfunctory applause; the bolsonaristas seemed not to know who he was. The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who is fending off charges of fraud and bribery, got a riotous cheer. Bolivia’s President, Evo Morales, the only left-wing leader to attend, was subjected to shouts of “Get out, communist,” and “índio de merda”—“fucking Indian.”
Despite Bolsonaro’s divisive rhetoric, American conservatives were enthusiastic about his Presidency. He had expressed leeriness of China and hostility toward socialists in Cuba and Venezuela; he promised to move Brazil’s Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Donald Trump didn’t attend the inauguration, but he tweeted his solidarity: “The USA is with you!” Bolsonaro, who sees in Trump a kindred spirit and an opportunity, tweeted back, “Together, under God’s protection, we shall bring prosperity and progress to our people!”
I don’t want to give it away, but the last line will make your blood run cold if you’re hoping for someone other than Trump in 2020.

Eugene Bagashov: Martian Geology, Past and Present | Space News
Reference note: Part One - Eugene Bagashov: Mars Mysteries ReopenedThunderboltsProject
Published on Mar 26, 2019
In part one of this presentation, physicist Eugene Bagashov began his examination of some of the enduring geological mysteries on Mars. Of course, geologists examining the surface of Mars project familiar earthly processes onto the Red Planet — they imagine volcanic eruptions, flowing water and impacts from space as dominant forces shaping the Martian landscape. But countless Martian features defy these explanations. We have proposed that another process, high energy electrical discharge, may have produced some of the dramatic features on Mars — a hypothesis with a growing body of experimental support. In this conclusion, Eugene summarizes some of the most compelling evidence for electrical scarring on Mars and elsewhere in the solar system, including our own planet.

"Gonzaga" Mascot Interrupts Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue
"Jimmy is currently involved in an effort to blow the lid off an elaborate hoax known as 'Gonzaga.' Gonzaga is a made-up university, Jimmy has seen no proof that it exists, and finally we're starting to talk about it. The conspiracy is centered in the Eastern part of Washington State and the more we dig on this, the more they dig in. We even got a surprise visit from the Gonzaga mascot 'Spike,' who had some very interesting information for us."

I sadly foreseen this ongoing suffering/dilemma twenty years before the opioid epidemic happening ...
Yes unqualified doctors over prescribed the medicines - But i personally blame the U.S. Government's
lack of real oversight and purpose in its 'war on drugs' in its complicity for allowing its ongoing
occurrence - No one can tell me the DEA and other involved U.S. agencies didn't know/see this coming ...
Shame on you Washington!

Are Federal Guidelines for Prescribing Opioids Hurting Patients With Chronic Pain?
As Oklahoma and Purdue Pharma reach a landmark settlement, we look at an underreported result of the opioid crisis: the underprescribing of opioids for patients who rely on them for pain management. This month, more than 300 doctors and medical researchers sent an open letter to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warning patients have been harmed by a lack of clarity in guidelines for prescribing opioids. The CDC revised the guidelines for primary care physicians in 2016 in order to improve safety and reduce risks associated with long-term opioid therapy for chronic pain. But many say the new guidelines caused confusion and led to the reduction or discontinuation of opioids for people who responsibly use the medication to manage pain related to cancer, multiple sclerosis, lupus and fibromyalgia. We speak with Terri Lewis, a social scientist, rehabilitation practitioner and clinical educator who is running a national survey of patients and physicians to calculate the impacts of changes in chronic pain treatment. We also speak with Barry Meier, the author of “Pain Killer: An Empire of Deceit and the Origin of America’s Opioid Epidemic.” He was the first journalist to shine a national spotlight on the abuse of OxyContin.
