The 1993 seizure occurred while golfing and resulted in Roberts not driving for several months as a precaution. The episode was disclosed as part of his confirmation process but was not raised by senators during the hearings as a serious issue. During Roberts’ July 2007 seizure, he fell from a dock and was hospitalized for a night. “Roberts has not released detailed information about his health or whether he takes medication because of those incidents,” the Washington Post reports. “The nine members of the court generally decide for themselves how much information to release about their health.”

Good news from the normally conservative and careful John Solomon. He sees indications that obamagate indictments maybe incoming.

"The current flood situation in the Yangtze River's main course is not particularly severe, so the reservoir's flood storage capacity has yet to be fully utilized," said Bao Zhengfeng, director assistant of the center.
The river's first flood this year arrived at the Three Gorges dam on July 2 with a peak flow rate of 53,000 cubic meters per second, raising the reservoir's water level to 149 meters after the passage of the flood. Bao said, however, the reservoir can handle a water level as high as 175 meters.
Reconcile that with this article from June 22:
www.globaltimes.cn...
The dam is designed to meet "once-in-a-millennium" water level at 175 meters or flow up to 70,000 cubic meters per second. Currently, the 147-meter water level and 26,500 cubic meters per second levels are absolutely safe for the dam to bear, Guo told the Global Times on Monday.
Guo noted that the two-meter excess indicates that water in the reservoir needs to be discharged to balance outflow and inflow to prevent the water level from continuing to mount, a common practice in rain seasons. But the water is not a challenge to the reservoir, Guo said.
So on June 22, the level was 147 meters - 2 meters above flood level and needed to be 'balanced out', with a flow of 26,500 cubic meters per second.
Two weeks later, on July 8, the level is now 149 meters with a flow of 53,000 cubic meters per second.
In other words - the only reason why it isn't 175 meters/70,000 cubic meters per second is because they started letting water out back on June 22 and actually doubled the flow rate. So the dam won't collapse...but too bad about the water it has to release in order to do so.
This is the reason why you don't trust anything Chinese officials say. They are the masters of BS.
I found this little snippet interesting

The Communist Party used a disastrous flood in 1931 to argue that the Kuomintang government was a failure, and when Mao Zedong took over in 1949 dam-building was a priority. But construction and engineering were often subpar, resulting in more disasters like the Banqiao and Shimantan dam collapses in 1975 that killed as many as 240,000 people.
If that dam collapses it would mean the end of the CCP.

The book, obtained by The Daily Beast, opens with a family dinner at the White House in April 2017 to celebrate the birthdays for Mary’s aunts, Maryanne and Elizabeth.
As Mary was walking through the halls of The White House, she recalls passing life-sized paintings of former first ladies. “I stopped in front of Hillary Clinton’s portrait and stood silently for a minute. I wondered again how this could have happened.”

Locking #ghislanemaxwell in COVID-19 “isolation” is bull#$$ excuse to torture socialite with solitary confinement in #$%hole horror of a jail. It’s to give her a taste of what is in store if she refuses to cooperate with feds. Solitary confinement is torture & should be illegal
