The global market for illegal drugs brings in more than $600 billion a year to its dealers, while some 21 million people worldwide are presently victims of trafficking for sex and labor. All three of these illegal markets are expanding by means of clever exploitation of social media.

The universe is astonishingly vast. The Milky Way has more than 100 billion stars, and there are over a trillion galaxies in the visible universe, the tiny fraction of the universe we can see. Even if habitable worlds are rare, their sheer number—there are as many planets as stars, maybe more—suggests lots of life is out there. So where is everyone? This is the Fermi paradox. The universe is large, and old, with time and room for intelligence to evolve, but there’s no evidence of it....

Grizzly bears spend much of the winter in dens, slowing their metabolism down so they can survive with little activity during the seasonal shortage of prey. “Grizzly bears are true hibernators and stay in a winter den for five to six months,” Frank T. van Manen, a supervisory research wildlife biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey told Newsweek. “During hibernation, they reduce their metabolism to about 25 percent of active metabolism and heart rate by 20 percent to 45 percent during denning....

President Donald Trump and the GOP spread spurious accusations and conspiracy theories about Hunter in the run-up to November’s election, hoping this would damage Joe Biden’s chances. The claims were not enough to prevent the president-elect’s comfortable win, but it was revealed last week that Hunter is facing an investigation by federal prosecutors in Delaware working with the IRS Criminal Investigation agency and the FBI. It is not yet clear if Hunter was involved in any wrongdoing, and investigators are currently issuing subpoenas and seeking interviews, CNN reported....

“The major commodities of concern are citrus (oranges and grapefruit), nursery and floriculture products, sugarcane, beef and dairy cattle, and some other fruit and vegetable production that is just getting underway for the winter season crop,” Christa Court, the Director of the program in Economic Impact Analysis at the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, told Newsweek. “We could be looking at hundreds of millions of dollars of lost revenue for Florida producers, if the current forecast holds....

The responsibility of the presidency, and gravitas of the situation, puts pressure on Trump to perform—but it also somewhat puts his destiny in his own hands as to what people make of him. “Americans always want their presidents to be ‘strong leaders,’ and these perceptions largely reflect the state of the country. When the country does well, voters perceive that its leaders have been effective; and when it fares poorly, voters attribute it to poor leadership,” Jon C....
