How One Daring Woman Introduced the Idea of Smallpox Inoculation to England
She should also have been lauded as a pioneer of medicine. But her great achievement remained little-known until recently. As the scientist Francis Galton later put it, “In science the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to the man to whom the idea first occurs.”

Woopsie, trump appears to be losing the Military

Loss of US intelligence collection from Syria withdrawal threatens fight against ISIS
The rapid withdrawal of American troops from Syria is stoking the concerns of Congress and former U.S. defense officials who warn the limited American presence and abandonment of an ally will stymie intelligence collection efforts.
Human intelligence networks driven by U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces may all but collapse following President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. forces from Syria ahead of a Turkish assault to drive out the Kurdish-led militia.
And limited troop presence in the war torn region coupled with a congested airspace over northern Syria could hamper U.S. air collection assets and loitering surveillance times over suspected ISIS targets.

Need to change Constitution - Executive Power
When the US Constitution was written, who could ever have imagined how much power would eventually be placed in the branch of the Executive. trump gets to cause and facilitate a genocide, in Syria, without any advice from anyone? Putting our own men and women in our military in danger? Unbelievable

finally, we are witnessing the complete collapse of trump here and on the world stage. Thanks to DU!
