Men are "invading" a women's "sanctuary". Caitlin and Kaitlin are upset!

Oh, no! Women are upset!

NY Post: Men are showing up to the Wing and women are pissed.

The Wing was supposed to be the ultimate sanctuary for women: decidedly feminine in design, with walls and furniture in shades of millennial pink and a thermometer set at a women’s-clothing-friendly 72 degrees. Conference rooms and telephone booths are named after feminist icons like Anita Hill and fictional literary heroines such as Hermione Granger of “Harry Potter” fame. It offers perks that other co-working spaces can’t match — showers stocked with high-end beauty products and events featuring big names such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Critics of the Wing were quick to point out the lack of diversity in the spaces, but the company’s expansion and popularity has brought up a completely different issue that was never expected to arise: straight men wanting to come in and hang out.

Sure, it’s not against the rules for men to be at the lady lair, which costs anywhere from $185 to $250 a month in the US to join. But that’s only because legally the company can’t ban men.

“There’s usually at least one [man] whenever I visit,” says Kaitlin Phillips, 29, a member in New York for the past two years. “It’s bizarre to choose to occupy a space women specifically wanted for themselves. Classic patriarchal entitlement complex.” (Hey Kaitlin, does "you reap what you sow" ring a bell? - DD)
[.]
“At first it was jarring,” says a 30-year-old longtime New York member, who asked to not be named. “It started about a year ago and it’s getting worse. A guy even checked me out a few weeks ago. The whole purpose of the space is to not have to deal with anything like that.” (How does she know a woman has never "checked her out"? -DD)
[.]
The Wing’s large membership — more than 11,000 worldwide, according to reps — meant it couldn’t pass as a “social club,” and therefore can’t discriminate based on gender. This, coupled with a lawsuit brought by a 53-year-old man (GOOD FOR HIM! - DD) earlier this year claiming gender discrimination, led the Wing to formally adopt a membership policy: “The Wing is a space designed for women with a women’s-focused mission. Members and guests are welcome regardless of their perceived gender or gender identity. Recognizing that gender identity is not always consistent with someone’s sex assigned at birth, we do not ask members or guests to self-identify.”
[.]
But all of the women The Post spoke to had the same questions: Why would a man want to go to the Wing, anyway? Just because he can? (YES! YES! JUST BECAUSE WE CAN! DEAL WITH IT. - DD)
[.]
Up until about a year or so ago, when the space was truly a women-only sanctuary, members said they could comfortably walk around braless in a robe after a shower. Now, they say, they’re constantly looking over their shoulders, wondering who the loud dude chewing his lunch is. (Ummmm, yeah - because women never do anything annoying. Ever. - DD)

Numerous California members tell The Post that the phenomenon is getting out of hand. (The horror and indignity of it all. - DD)

“It’s just annoying,” says Caitlin White, a 31-year-old West Hollywood member who sees at least one man working in the space each day. “Why do men need to be there? Why can’t they respect the spirit of the place? Men have to have everything.” (YES! YES! Men have to have EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING! - DD)
[.]
“I glare at the men and I glare at the members who bring them,” says the anonymous New York member. (Ooooh - she sounds hostile. Sounds like someone needs Anger Management therapy? - DD)

Retirement apartment for rent? Very negotiable terms? Dead man found in freezer.

Daily Mail: Utah man, 75, found in wife's freezer ten years after he'd died left notarized letter claiming she had nothing to do with his death.

Police have found a notarized letter believed to have been written by a man whose body was discovered in the freezer of a Utah retirement home, claiming his wife had nothing to do with his death.

Locals think Jeanne Souron-Mathers, 75, kept the death of her husband Paul Edward Mathers, 69, secret so she could claim $177,000 in government payouts after the veteran died.

Police are looking at whether tey [sic] planned for him to keep collecting his Social Security and Veteran's Affairs checks, and a friend said it was a 'clever' move if the man got the note signed to put the Remington Park Retirement Apartments resident in the clear.

Another friend said it was 'creepy' after cops in Toole, west of Salt Lake City said he could have been there for any time between a year-and-a-half and 11 years before they found the note saying his wife 'was not responsible for his death'. 

'It was notarized on December 2, 2008,' Sgt. Jeremy Hansen of the Tooele Police Department, told KSTU. 'We believe he had a terminal illness.'

Cops have spoken to the woman who notarized the letter and she said she did not read the contents, which notaries are not obliged to do.

'She told the detective she didn't read the note, she just stamped it and signed it,' Hansen told Fox 13.

'There's more in the letter, but we're not releasing that yet,' police said Monday.

The man is believed to have died between February 4, 2009 - when he was last seen at a VA hospital - and March 8, 2009.

It's still illegal that Souron-Mathers kept the body in the freezer and didn't report his death. Souron-Mathers was found dead in bed with 'no apparent trauma'.

Officers checked the apartment on November 22 to see if there was any indication of how long she had been dead - and were stunned to find a second body in the freezer.
[.]
Authorities identified him using fingerprints but an autopsy could not determine whether his cause of death from the terminal illness he had which has not been disclosed.

Neighbors said the wife was a 'very nice person' who would not 'hurt a fly.'

'Jeanne was, by all appearances, a very nice person. Very friendly. We've talked to her quite a bit and took her to doctor appointments,' Evan Kline said: 'The story that — at least she was putting out — was her husband walked out on her.'

 "She never mentioned she was keeping her husband in the deep freeze." Gee, you'd think that would somehow come up during normal, small-talk, every day conversation, wouldn't you?

The apartment will probably be renumbered as 203 "B" or "C" when it goes back on the market. Then again, what happened there could be a selling point. "You live in the apartment where the dead guy was in the freezer? Coooooooool."

Barack Obama ignores Trans Women. Will there be a Social Media reaction of outrage and backlash?

NPR: Barack Obama Says Women Could Solve Many Of World's Problems — Which Men Have Caused.

The world would be a better place if more women were in charge, former President Barack Obama says. Speaking at an event on Monday, Obama also said that many of the world's problems stem from "old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way."

Obama made the remarks at a private event in Singapore, where several thousand people gathered to hear the former president discuss leadership and his life in the Oval Office. Ticket prices ranged from around $255 to $955 for the event, which was organized by Australian business events company The Growth Faculty.

The former president said that if women were put in charge of every country for the next two years, the result would be gains "on just about everything," according to Singapore's Today.

"There would be less war, kids would be better taken care of and there would be a general improvement in living standards and outcomes," Obama said.

The Singapore event isn't available online, but Obama's office confirmed the substance of Obama's remarks to NPR on Monday. And the event's moderator, Nicholas Fang of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs, says the Today report is accurate.

"If you look at the world and look at the problems, it's usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way," Obama said, according to a BBC report about the event.

"They cling to power, they are insecure, they have outdated ideas and the energy and fresh vision and new approaches are squashed," he added, Today reports.

"Now women, I just want you to know, you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you're better than us [men]," Obama said, according to the BBC.

I haven't checked Social Media. Is Obama's Twitter account being bombarded with allegations of his Transphobia? Have the protests in the streets near his home begun? Why did he exclude the Trans Community? He must be phobic. Why...now with all that money, he might be a Closet Republican!

Anyone else saying what Obama said would be labeled Transphobic. Social Media reaction would be swift, critical and non-stop. He would be forced to atone and walk-back his words. No one else could say this and escape criticism. Maybe Canada's Justin Trudeau, but he wouldn't make the mistake of excluding Trans-anyone.

It's "Okay."

Pardon me, Ms. Fiorina, but nobody gives a fuck about what you think about impeachment.

CNN: Former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina said she thinks it is "vital" that President Donald Trump be impeached, but stopped short of calling for his removal from office and did not rule out voting for him again in 2020.

The former Hewlett-Packard CEO told CNN on "Boss Files with Poppy Harlow" that she sees the President's conduct as impeachable and "destructive to the republic."

Carly should stick to what she does best; grinding tech companies into financial distress.

Wiki: Carly Fiorina's forced resignation from Hewlett-Pacard.

HP's revenue doubled and the rate of patent filings increased due to mergers with Compaq and other companies during Fiorina's stint as CEO. In addition, HP's cash flow increased by 40%, to around $6.8 billion. However, the company underperformed by a number of other metrics: there were no gains in HP's net income despite a 70% gain in net income of the S&P 500 over this period; the company's debt rose from US$4.25 billion to US$6.75 billion; and its stock price fell by 50%, exceeding declines in the S&P 500 Information Technology Sector index and the NASDAQ.
[.]
...the board brought back Tom Perkins and forced Fiorina to resign as chair and chief executive officer of the company. The company's stock jumped 6.9 percent on news of her departure, adding almost three billion dollars to the value of HP in a single day.

Read more at Fortune (September 2015): Carly Fiorina’s disastrous record as HP’s CEO.

Depending on sources, Fiorina is worth $60 million or between $30 to $100 million.

In March, 2016, she endorsed Senator Ted Cruz as the only Republican who can beat then-candidate Donald Trump. Good call, Carly, good call. Dice or a Magic 8-Ball on that one?

Finally, in September, 2016, she publicly voiced her support for Donald Trump for President.

Good call on that endorsement, Carly. See - for all of us - the goal is to make the right decision, or the better decision, more often than making the wrong one. This can be an elusive deliberation sometimes.

What fun it would be sitting around with the H-P BODs during her tenure, having a few drinks, listening to them recall their time with Carly as the CEO. I bet a lot of the stories would begin with... 

"Remember the time Carly suggested that we [fill in the blank]," followed by riotous laughter. 

 "Remember when Carly said she wanted to be the president," followed by lungs being hacked up from laughter.

Fiorina now drags herself out of her plastic bubble for an appearance on the biased CNN for no reason other than to dump on Trump. That chip on Carly's shoulder must be a big and permanent one.

Arlando Henderson; The first thing you do with stolen cash is post images of yourself with it on social media.

Arlando Henderson, a former bank employee in Charlotte, North Carolina, allegedly stole $88,000 from a bank's vault. (Obtained by New York Daily News)

NY Daily News: Man accused of stealing $88,000 from bank where he worked arrested after posing with money, posting photos on social media.

Arlando Henderson was arrested by the FBI on Dec. 4 and charged with financial institution fraud and related charges — based off Henderson’s greenback-laden Instagram post.
[.]
On at least 18 occasions in 2019 he stole cash from deposits made by the bank’s customers from the vault, and then deposited some of it in a nearby ATM.
[.]
Henderson also made a $20,000 cash down payment on a 2019 Mercedes-Benz, according to the indictment[.]
[.]
He might have even gotten away with it, weren’t for his wish to tell the world — via social media ― what an accomplished professional he was.

In several Facebook and Instagram posts, Henderson posted pictures where he is seen holding large stashes of cash, or posing in front of his new car.

“I make it look easy but this s--t really a PROCESS,” he posted on Facebook on Aug, 4, from Charlotte.

Less than a month later, on Sept. 1, in a post tagged as written from San Diego, Henderson wrote, “Looking at my brand thinking this how I got rich.”

His 15 minutes of fame probably made it easier for investigators to locate him.

He likely never bothered watching "The Sopranos" or "Breaking Bad."

Harvey Weinstein's miraculous recovery. No longer needs a "walker".

NY Post: Harvey Weinstein spotted without his walker: Is he only using one for sympathy?

It seems as if Harvey Weinstein might only use his walker when it could win him some valuable sympathy.

A Page Six spy recently spotted the disgraced mogul in Manhattan with his attorneys, shuffling into a meeting with a potentially hostile group and using a walker for support.

So the same source was surprised to spot Weinstein a few days later at a Target in Mount Kisco, NY, near Bedford, with his family — striding around without any support whatsoever.
[.]
...Weinstein “and the board of his bankrupt film studio have reached a tentative $25 million settlement agreement with dozens of his alleged sexual-misconduct victims.” It wouldn’t require him to admit wrongdoing or pay anything to his accusers himself. 

"It wouldn't require him to admit wrongdoing or pay anything to the accusers himself." Because no one is above the law? Oh...wait...

Weinstein fakes fragility seeking sympathy using a walker going into court.

Hillary has face botoxed, or something. Looks freakish.

Daily Mail: What is the secret of Hillary Clinton's strangely plumped-up-cheeks? Fillers could be behind more youthful look.

Aesthetic expert Dr Ross Perry, founder of www.cosmedics.co.uk, said Hillary has been 'genetically blessed' with good skin - but claimed it could also be a result of Botox, injectable dermal fillers and Blepharoplasty.
[.]
'Her forehead looks particularly smooth, which would suggest Botox has been administered in the forehead, frown line and around the eye area, as there appears to be minimal crows feet.

Yeah, well - Dr. Perry has to say Hillary is "genetically blessed" if he's averse to tragic accidents.

Botox? Maybe. Might also have been one of those procedures where they take fat from one part of the body and inject it into another part of the body.

In her case, the donor fat is from her cankles.

Bernie Sanders wants government-owned broadband.

Tech Dirt: Bernie's Broadband Plan Gives A Big Green Light To Community Broadband.

We've long noted how community broadband networks are often an organic response to the expensive, slow, or just-plain unavailable service that's the direct product of a broken telecom market and regulatory capture. While you'll occasionally see some deployment duds if the business models aren't well crafted, studies have shown such local networks (there are 750 and counting now in the States) offer cheaper, faster service than many incumbents. Chattanooga's EPB, for example, was rated the best ISP in America last year by Consumer Reports.
[.]
Enter Bernie Sanders, whose new broadband plan was released last week and appears to have been cobbled together from the collected nightmares of AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast executives. The plan would not only restore the FCC's net neutrality authority and the agency's authority over ISPs in general, but it would restore the FCC's broadband privacy rules scuttled in 2017 by telecom lobbyists. It would also ban arbitrary and unnecessary broadband usage caps and overage fees, and ban the sneaky fees ISPs use to covertly jack up the advertised price post sale.

But the plan takes some extra time to highlight how a Sanders administration would embrace community broadband, including the elimination of protectionist state laws, and the doling out of $150 billion to be used largely toward building alternatives to the private sector telecom status quo:

    "Municipalities across the country running their own internet services have proved they can deliver high-quality service at a fraction of the price of established monopolies. Cities can run their own networks just like a water or electric utility or build out an open access network to allow multiple providers to compete on price and service, rather than one or two conglomerates gouging customers and setting their own prices. Bernie believes it’s time to stop relying on profit-focused corporations to get to universal broadband. Bernie will provide the necessary funding for states, cities, and co-ops to build out their own broadband networks, and ensure all households are connected by the end of his first term."

Needless to say, the telecom sector isn't going to much like any of this.
[.]
The proposal isn't without its problems. Several economists versed in telecom and media tell me that the proposals to retroactively break up giants like Comcast NBC Universal and AT&T Time Warner are little more than pipe dreams that would be logistical nightmares in actual practice. And the Sanders camp also oddly opposes so-called "one touch make ready" rules (which allow any qualified third party to move pole equipment instead of just incumbent ISPs) despite widespread support of such proposals (unions tell me "one touch" poses a safety and security risk, but those claims are hotly contested).

Is there any private industry that this rapidly aging, anti-Charity, rape-porn fantasy writing Communist doesn't think the government should own, run and operate?

20 years ago, Nadler whined about impeachment based on partisan politics. Now, it's different.

Breitbart: Flashback: Jerry Nadler Warns ‘There Must Never Be’ a Partisan Impeachment Effort.

House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler (D-Golden Corral) warned of the dangers of partisan impeachment efforts during former President Bill Clinton’s impeachment proceedings, cautioning that it would “produce decisiveness and bitterness in our politics for years to come.”

Nadler adamantly opposed a partisan impeachment effort during Clinton’s scandal, emphatically warning his colleagues that they should not impeach a president without the “overwhelming consensus” of the American people and stressing that “an impeachment supported by one of our major political parties and opposed by the other” will lead to bitterness and divisiveness and cause people to question “the very legitimacy of our political institutions.”

“And we must not do so without an overwhelming consensus of the American people. There must never be a narrowly voted impeachment or an impeachment supported by one of our major political parties and opposed by the other,” Nadler said[.]
[.]
“In 1998, President Clinton physically gave his blood,” Nadler proclaimed. “President Trump, by contrast, has refused to produce a single document and directed every witness not to testify.”

As Breitbart News noted, “Clinton provided a sample of his DNA to independent counsel Kenneth Starr as he attempted to back up his claim that he had not, in fact, had ‘sexual relations’ with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.”

However, the blood sample ultimately tied Clinton to the dried semen on Monica Lewinsky’s blue dress “to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty.”

The news comes as Lunden Roberts, a 28-year-old stripper, is demanding child support for her 16-month-old baby, who was fathered by Biden, according to the results of a DNA test revealed in court documents. Roberts filed a paternity lawsuit in May, alleging the pair first met at a Washington, DC, gentleman’s club that she previously employed.

‘Penis fish’ wash onto California beach.

NY Post: Thousands of ‘penis fish’ wash onto California beach.

Thousands of “pulsing penis fish” have washed ashore on a California beach, as seen in jarring photos that are raising eyebrows due to the creature’s phallic shape.

The quirky marine life is officially called fat innkeeper worms (Urechis caupo), and an expert writes for Bay Nature that he believes a recent storm in the Drakes Beach area (My beach! My beach! - DD) is the reason so many of them mysteriously appeared on the beach.

Ivan Parr, a biologist from the Western Section of the Wildlife Society, spotted them Dec. 6 and explains that the 10-inch fat innkeeper worm typically lives underwater, burrowing in mud or sand, but the storm likely carried them ashore.

Former presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) says the “entire world is watching” the response of President Donald Trump and his chief strategist Steve Bannon to the recent wave of anti-Semitic attacks across America.

Sanders describes himself as “alarmed” by the recent rise of anti-Semitic attacks. Jewish Community Centers across America recently received bomb threats, while a Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia was vandalized.

In a speech to J Street, a liberal nonprofit hostile to Israel, Sanders said that “the attacks must be condemned at the highest levels of government.”

“I hope very much that President Trump and his political adviser Mr. Bannon understand that the entire world is watching, that it is imperative that their voices be loud and clear in condemning anti-Semitism,” Sanders said.

He also attacked Trump for failing to mention the word “Jew” in his statement on Holocaust Memorial Day, calling it “rather extraordinary.”

Harvey Weinstein shows up for court using a walker. Poor, fragile Harvey.

Breitbart: Harvey Weinstein Nears $25 Million Settlement with Accusers, to Be Paid By Insurance Companies.

Disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein is nearing a $25 million settlement that would resolve most of the civil suits against him and his board of directors stemming from dozens of sexual harassment and assault allegations, according to a report.

But not all the plaintiffs are on board with the proposed deal, which still hasn’t been approved by judges. Weinstein also faces criminal charges and is still set to stand trial in New York starting Jan. 6 on five rape and sexual assault charges.
[.]
But there are signs that the deal is already in jeopardy.

Variety reported that at least four Weinstein plaintiffs are not participating in the settlement, and at least three of them are expected to oppose the deal.

Actress Ashley Judd, who was among the first women to publicly accuse Weinstein of sexual harassment in the initial 2017 Times article, isn’t participating in the proposed settlement.

Attorney Thomas Giuffra, who represents plaintiff Alexandra Canosa, has publicly blasted the proposed settlement, telling Variety that plaintiffs are being pressured to accept the deal by another attorney representing a group of Weinstein accusers.

Giuffra told Variety that under the settlement, insurers will give $500,000 to Weinstein for every plaintiff who does not accept the deal, as a way of washing their hands of him. As a result, Weinstein would stand to reap at least $1 million in the settlement.

“That is so morally wrong,” Giuffra told the trade magazine.
[.]
The Oscar-winning producer appeared frail in court and used a walker to move around. His attorney explained that Weinstein will shortly undergo back surgery to treat an injury sustained in a car accident.

The timeliness of frailty and the need of some sort of surgery prior to courtroom appearances among alleged sex-offenders, rapists, traffickers and abusers is amazingly coincidental. Or...maybe not. It is Teh Showbiz.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who famously lost the 2016 election to now-President Trump, swiftly gave her public support to articles of impeachment against her political rival after they were announced by House Democrats Tuesday morning.

Clinton called the impeachment push necessary for defending democracy.

"We must defend our democracy, and the painful truth is that the occupant of the Oval Office is waging war against it," Clinton tweeted.

Clinton posted the comment along with a video of House Democrats discussing plans to move forward with impeachment articles alleging abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Joe Biden Wants to Ban 9mm Pistols.

AmmoLand: Joe Biden Wants to Ban 9mm Pistols.

"Why should we allow people to have military-style weapons including pistols with 9mm bullets and can hold 10 or more rounds?", [said Biden].
[.]
In targeting 9mm pistols, Biden has called for a ban on one of the most popular firearms in America.
[.]
...Shooting Industry reported that 9mm caliber pistols are the most commonly produced pistol and have been for many years. In 2017 alone, there were more than 1.7 million 9mm pistols produced in the U.S. Cumulatively there are tens of millions of 9mm pistols in the hands of law-abiding Americans.

The 9mm pistol is the choice of the nation’s leading civilian law enforcement agency, the FBI. Moreover, 9mm pistols are used by countless other federal, state, and local civilian law enforcement agencies. Biden alluded to the 9mm handgun’s military applications, but these agencies are not tasked with waging war on the public, but rather defending the public. This defensive application is the same reason that millions of Americans have chosen a 9mm pistol as their self-defense firearm.

 Who ties his shoelaces for him?

While it originally came from a parody site, she probably picked it up from someone reposting a story from the DailyKos who stupidly ran it the same day. Not that something that blatantly stupid could ever hurt the credibility of a dumpster fire site like the Daily Kos.

Don't fact-check or search any deeper than DKos or Twitter, Marianne. Just go with that kneejerk political Liberal reflex.

Twitter (and FB) is good. It identifies the stupid and uninformed for us. And we don't have to break a sweat finding out.

Biden blames his staff saying nobody warned him about conflict of son Hunter and Ukraine plush Burisma job.

"Nobody warned me about a potential conflict of interest. Nobody warned me about that," Biden said. He added, "They should have told me."

Scorpions on a plane.

Scorpions, not Snakes.

Newsweek: Scorpion on United Airlines Plane Stings Passenger Before Getting Caught by Flight Crew.

A passenger on board a domestic United Airlines flight was stung several times by a scorpion, and had to be treated by medical staff upon landing.

An image of the scorpion on board Thursday's flight from San Francisco to Atlanta was first published by TMZ, which reported how the unnamed female passenger started feeling a stinging sensation on her leg.

When she went to the bathroom, it got worse and she saw the creature fall from her pant leg after she was stung several times, according to USA Today.

The creature ran along the floor and caught by cabin crew, TMZ reported.

"The customer was transported to a local hospital. We have been in contact with our customer to ensure her well-being."

The airline would not say how the scorpion got on board or whether there would be an investigation into the incident.

USA Today noted that this was at least the third time this year that a scorpion has made its way onto a flight.

In February, a passenger filmed a12-inch long dark black arachnid as it crawled out an overhead bin on a Lion Air flight to Indonesia.

A month later, a scorpion stung a passenger on an Air Transat flight from Toronto to Calgary, CTV News reported.

In 2017, a business class passenger on a United Airlines flight from Houston to Calgary was reportedly stung by a scorpion as he was eating lunch.

Richard Bell's wife Linda told CNN that the creature fell from an overhead bin and landed on his hair, saying, "As he was grabbing it by the tail it stung him.

Pyramid-shaped asteroid VH5 2019 will not hit us tomorrow, says NASA.

The Independent: Great Pyramid of Giza-sized asteroid won't hit earth tomorrow.

A 427-foot pyramid-shaped asteroid is due to fly by Earth on Sunday, scientists say.

According to  the Centre for Near-Earth Object Studies at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the object, called VH5 2019, will harmlessly fly past around 4.27 million miles from our planet at a speed of 6.1 miles per second.

At 187ft by 426.5ft, the asteroid is “pyramid-shaped" and almost as large as the Great Pyramid of Giza.

The asteroid is one of five due to fly past Earth over the weekend, all at safe distances. (Asteroids are assholes, aren't they? - DD)

It comes after a gigantic 2,000 asteroid flew past Earth last month.
[.]
In 2017, an asteroid the size of a skyscraper called 2010 NY65 flew past around eight times the distance between the Earth and the moon.

Nasa launched a new office in 2016 called The Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO).

This was created to keep track of asteroids that come too close to Earth.

A recent study suggests that over the last 290 million years, asteroids have been crashing into Earth at triple their previous rate.

Great Giza! A study "suggests". We should probably throw tons of tax-payer money into more similar studies. We can never have too many studies that "suggest", can we?

I know VH5 won't hit us. I didn't buy a lottery ticket.
