Euphoric..

 

Improved self-esteem is a key psychological benefit of regular physical activity. 

Endorphins trigger a positive feeling in the body, is often described as "euphoric."
That feeling, known as a "runner's high," can be accompanied by a positive and energizing outlook on life.
Endorphins manufactured in your brain, spinal cord, and many other parts of your body and are released in response to brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. 

The neuron receptors endorphins bind to are the same ones that bind some pain medicines. 

Blinking..

 

Blinken’s statement ruffled the feathers of many Republicans in Congress, who viewed the statement – and the secretary’s inability to re-establish military-to-military communications – as an inappropriate kowtow to America’s greatest adversary.

Blinken flew to Communist China to appease Xi Jinping and state the Biden administration does not support Taiwan’s independence.”  

The Taiwan issue is among the most contentious in the US-China relationship, with Xi making it his No. 1 priority to “reunite” Taiwan with China, though the island about 100 miles off the country’s southeastern coast has never actually been part of it.

Before Blinkin can come from China, the President declared that China"s Xi is a dictator. Is the President want to smooth the relationship with China?

What did Blinken said in his meeting with Xi? Is that highly classified?

Provocation..

 

Russian leaders and several Western policy experts were warning more than two decades ago that NATO expansion would turn out badly—ending in a new cold war with Russia at best, and a hot one at worst. 

George Kennan, the intellectual architect of America’s containment policy during the Cold War, perceptively warned in a May 2, 1998 New York Times interview what NATO’s move eastward would set in motion. 

“I think it is the beginning of a new cold war,” he stated. “I think the Russians will gradually react quite adversely and it will affect their policies. I think it is a tragic mistake.”

Kennan was speaking of the first round of enlargement that brought into the Alliance Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary. Later rounds. Washington’s subsequent attempt to make Ukraine and Georgia members was contemptuous of Russia’s core security interests.

Peace is not a goal of some ...... the outcome is disastrous.  Just a thought.

Démarche..

The White House confirmed that an official diplomatic reprimand, known as a démarche, had been given to the US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns following President Joe Biden’s comments comparing China’s Xi Jinping to a dictator at a political fundraiser in California earlier this week.

The Chinese government called in Burns for the meeting this week in Beijing to protest Biden’s remarks, according to two US officials familiar with the matter. 

National Security Council’s coordinator for strategic communications John Kirby stressed that the White House does not view the move as one with particularly significant consequences and that the US has not seen any further ramifications to the already-precarious relationship with China.

What a great accomplishment here. Just a thought.

Relief..

 

What a relief. That calls for a celebration.!!

Save..

 

Morant..

 

On Friday, the NBA suspended Morant for 25 games without pay for conduct detrimental to the league. The suspension comes as a result of Morant's second incident involving holding a gun in a social media video. Morant will also have to meet other conditions before he can return to the court.

Coming..
