Feral hippopotamuses in Colombia are reproducing and causing problems for humans and for wildlife.

Since these intrusive animals are damaging native wildlife, the right thing to do is to eliminate them from the wild in Colombia.

*The Iraq War started the post-truth era. And America is to blame.*

I don't think that is entirely true, because the right-wingers were using lies before that. The campaign to capture US policy decisions for the rich, and pretend that non-rich receiving government help were the exploiters, started in the 1970s; it was based on lies from top to bottom.

It has been argued that al-Libi was not merely giving his torturers what they demanded, but intentionally encouraging a war between the US and Saddam Hussein, both being enemies of al-Qa'ida.

*Republican lawmakers funded by the credit card industry are fighting to protect the excessive fees companies charge consumers.*

The junk fees are not among the biggest ways that businesses exploit bad laws to exploit the non-rich, but they are an example of the electoral corruption that upholds plutocracy in the US.

The BBC claims to be politically independent, but in practice its rules for presenters, writers and commentators are applied with enormous right-wing bias. This has been the case for decades at least.

Biden has given reasons for approving the Willow oil drilling project, but they are fallacious.

Allegedly the attempt to reject the project entirely is likely to be overturned by courts. What if that is true? What would be the right thing to do?

We are dealing with a threat to kill most human beings and wipe out most living species -- in effect, the biggest war in all history. So let's look at it like a battle against the planet-roasters.

When your army holds a position that it cannot continue to hold indefinitely, should you pull those troops back promptly, or hold the position as long as possible? It depends on what you can gain by holding it and what you might lose.

In this case, there is nothing to lose by fighting in court except the cost of paying some lawyers. Therefore, Biden's duty is to hold that position for as long as possible. Delaying the drilling is good in itself, and the fight to delay it will inspire climate defenders and help win the next election.

The delay also creates an opportunity for the situation to change. In 2025 it may be possible to pass a law — perhaps a carbon tax — that would make Chevron abandon the project.
