Jihadists reclaim some lost ground in west Aleppo after downing Syrian chopper
BEIRUT, LEBANON (3:10 P.M.) – The jihadist rebels have retaken a number of points in western Aleppo this afternoon, following the downing of a Syrian military chopper near the town of Uram Al-Kubri. According to reports from west Aleppo, the jihadist rebels have retaken Talat Qurtaba and Abu Salim after a swift counter-offensive near the the strategic Regiment 46 Base. The reports said the Syrian Army never fully secured these areas prior to the jihadist counter-offensive, which ultimately led to their withdraw from these points earlier this afternoon. Similar to their attack on Nayrab this week, the jihadists and their Turkish-backed allies shot down a Syrian military chopper in western Aleppo before launching this new operation. It is not clear where the militants got their anti-aircraft missile from, but according to some Syrian activists, they were likely supplied by the Turkish Armed Forces.

Will the Nevada Democratic caucuses be able to avoid the catastrophe of Iowa? That's the question on everyone's mind eight days out, with early voting set to begin on Saturday.

Precinct chairs are to use this tool on iPads to "work out viability and delegate results during the caucuses by adding together caucus results and early vote data," CNN writes, although Nevada Democrats said Thursday "caucuses can operate without this calculator." But on Friday, CNN reported that caucus workers and 2020 campaigns are getting "worried" that Nevada Democrats haven't provided many details about how the reporting process will work. "Caucus volunteers have yet to get their hands on the calculator even though they're the ones expected to use it on caucus day, and they have been given few details about it," according…

The surge in confirmed cases has dampened hope that the spread of the flu-like virus was slowing, but health experts say the higher numbers are partly due to the new methodology. "I suspect but can't be certain that the underlying trend is still downwards," said Paul Hunter, a professor of health protection at the University of East Anglia in England. Harold Maass

Polo G – “Go Stupid” (Feat. Stunna 4 Vegas & NLE Choppa)
The young Chicago rapper Polo G has a rare gift for bluesy, melodic, mournful takes on his hometown's drill sound. Last year's Die A Legend, my favorite rap album of 2019, was a heavy piece of work that burst with thought and feeling. And yet Polo G can also flat-out rap when he feels like it, and that's what he does on his new single "Go Stupid." He has company. "Go Stupid" is a summit meeting between three extremely hungry rappers who all had breakout years in 2019. On "Go Stupid," Polo G teams up with Stunna 4 Vegas, the frequent DaBaby collaborator from North Carolina, and the young Memphis insurgent NLE Choppa. All of them are young — Polo is 21, Stunna is 24, and Choppa is 17. And on "Go Stupid," all of them have energy. The song, which has no chorus, is just all three rappers ripping up a Mike Will Made-It/Tay Keith beat. It's fun as hell. In director Michael Garcia's "Go Stupid" video, all three rappers incite an unruly day at a high-school. It's the sort of cheesy, ridiculous
