Information please

These things were all the most important story of the week, if not of all time, and then they dropped off the radar.  So tell me:

Venezuela.  On the brink of civil war.  Food and medicine shortages, riots every day, might have to send in the Marines and secure all that oil.  So?

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Naval Auxiliary or whatever kept pulling over oil tankers in the Persian Gulf.  Very big deal, could lead to war.  What happened?

Central California had a major earthquake.  Not a peep in over two months.  Everybody all right?

Is Greenland for sale yet?

Rep. Steve King was about to be censured or kicked right out of Congress for his principled defense of rape and incest.  If he's still there, he's been unusually quiet.  Could somebody go and check?  Look in the barber shop, too.

Gov. Ralph Northam of Virginia was photographed in blackface for his college yearbook.  Shock and outrage, resignation imminent.  By the time Gov. Kay Ivey of Alabama was found to have done the same, it was fine.  Did everybody just get tired of being angry?

Boko Haram.  I assume they're still a thing and the girls are still missing.  Well, women now.

Yemen.  I forgot this one until I got an email from Medicins sans Frontieres asking for money.

How is Justice Ginsberg?

Is the Amazon rain forest on fire, being clear-cut, or both?  On second thought, don't tell me.

How many people in Flint have lead-free tap water?

How many years did Trump-loving pipe-bomber Cesar Sayoc get?

Who killed Jeffrey Epstein?

That's enough.  It's late.  Wasn't there something about an asteroid?
