Good news out of Sudan.
Genital mutilation is practiced in at least 27 African countries, as well as parts of Asia and the Middle East. Other than Sudan and Egypt, it is most prevalent in Ethiopia, Kenya, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Djibouti and Senegal, according to the United Nations Population Fund._____
“The law will help protect girls from this barbaric practice and enable them to live in dignity,” said Salma Ismail, a spokeswoman in Khartoum for the United Nations Children’s Fund. “And it will help mothers who didn’t want to cut their girls, but felt they had no choice, to say ‘no.’”
Kim Jong-un came back from the dead today, as he was reported to have participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony at a fertilizer plant.
This led to a chain of reporting by international media on a single-sourced story.
News agencies then began to run with that claim, and it was all they had until some reports emerged that intelligence agencies in South Korea and the US were monitoring the claim.
But then came a more sensational headline in US media that the North Korean leader was in a critical condition after heart surgery.
The gossip was fun while it lasted.

Joe Biden, in a lengthy statement today, called Tara Reade's claims bullshit. Or malarkey, although Biden doesn't use either word in the statement.
It has been mostly the Berniebros who have been spreading this horseshit. Reade is a known supporter of Bernie Sanders. Believe me, if any of it were true, Obama would have never asked Biden to be on the ticket. This stuff would have come out years ago.

Tony Perkins is full of shit. Oregon and Washington have had mail-in voting for years, and it has been a huge success.
