SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT:

BREAKTHROUGH? – FROM REDSTATE:   A person believed to be among the highest-ranking defectors ever to the United States from the People’s Republic of China has been working with the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) for months, sources inside the intelligence community have told RedState on condition of anonymity. The defector has direct knowledge of special weapons programs in China, including bioweapons programs, those sources say.  The information provided to RedState corroborates and clarifies Thursday evening’s reporting by journalist Adam Housley:  "Being told the increased pressure on China in recent days is due to a defector with intimate knowledge. In fact, Wray didn’t know right away because they wanted to make sure they got all they needed before telling him."  RedState’s sources say that’s partially true. FBI Director Christopher Wray was “ambushed” with the information, they say, and CIA was also unaware. Sources say DIA leadership kept the defector within their Clandestine Services network to prevent CIA and the State Department from accessing the person, whose existence was kept from other agencies because DIA leadership believes there are Chinese spies or sources inside the FBI, CIA, and several other federal agencies. Please note that last sentence.  In fact , the infiltration of our government by China is one of the most important stories of our time, but a woke press has little interest in it.  Xenophobia you know.

BUT WE KNEW THIS AS KIDS – FROM STUDYFINDS:  TUCSON, Ariz. — In news that’s sure to start plenty of new conversations between people and “man’s best friend,” a new study finds puppies are born with “human-like” social skills. Simply put, scientists say these adorable canines are able to communicate with people from birth.  Generally, dogs need little-to-no training in order to follow directions thanks to their innate genes which have been developing for centuries. In fact, researchers at the University of Arizona say more than 40 percent of the variation in a puppy’s ability to follow a human’s finger-pointing is due to their inherited genes.  “We found that there’s definitely a strong genetic component, and they’re definitely doing it from the get-go,” says study co-author Evan MacLean in a university release. And remember, no dog ever lied to you.
