A treasure chest full of gold worth over $1 million was recently found in the Rocky Mountains, according to the man that hid it there over a decade ago. Forrest Fenn,89, confirmed that “the search is over” on his website Sunday. Fenn hid the treasure in 2010 and wrote a poem with several clues revealing that it was “somewhere in the mountains north of Santa Fe.” “The Search Is Over!

The US Navy has signaled that it will bar public displays of the Confederate Flag on installations, warships and aircraft, mirroring a similar decision by the Marines as protests over police brutality and racism sweep the country. Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Michael Gilday said on Tuesday that an order is being drawn up to prohibit the controversial flag “from all public spaces and work areas aboard Navy installations, ships, aircraft and submarines,” adding that the move is meant to “ensure unit cohesion, preserve good order and discipline.” The order is meant to ensure unit cohesion, preserve good order and discipline, […]
(Natural News) Frank Miele at RealClearPolitics.com has penned an outstanding article describing the historical parallels of today’s radical left-wing Antifa / Black Lives Matter riots. Far from “peaceful protests,” the actions and demands of these cultural Marxists closely resemble the history of Mao’s Cultural Revolution or Hitler’s Kristallnacht, the Night of the Broken Glass. If we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. Read and learn, then warn others of what’s coming if the radical left-wing uprising isn’t ended. From RealClearPolitics.com: [In America last week,] mob violence replaced police as the standard of authority. When you saw […]

Earlier this week, Saint Paul, Minnesota mayor Melvin Carter had to walk back his earlier claims that, quote, every single person who was arrested Friday night from protests over the killing of George Floyd was from out of state.

When the Justice Department brought a small army of often-unidentified federal police officers to the streets of Washington, D.C. amidst protests against racist policing, it made at least some of them into temporary U.S. marshals. The unusual command structure, in which Department of Homeland Security officials acted on the orders of the Justice Department, is the latest detail to emerge about the highly controversial deployment – one that officials said was coming to an end. Customs and Border Protection, which documents indicated loaned 400 personnel for the protest crackdown, told The Daily Beast that the Justice Department had requested its assistance. […]

Israel’s Supreme Court struck down a law on Tuesday that had retroactively legalised about 4,000 settler homes built on privately owned Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank, reported Reuters. A nine-judge panel voted to repeal the 2017 measure, under which settlers could remain on land if they built there without prior knowledge of Palestinian ownership, or if homes were built at the state’s direction. Eight voted in favour and one against. Rights groups say the measure, which was frozen soon after passage while the court heard petitions against it, had legalised more than 50 settler outposts built without government approval.

But Scott said that he’s on a “separate track” from the White House.

He looks to him a lot for this kind of a thing,” said Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.). Trump “isn’t going to lead on it right now.

“Innocent people will die” if left-wing and Democrat proposals to “defund the police” are implemented, warned former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, offering his remarks on Tuesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow. Marlow asked about the “movement to defund the police.” Sessions replied, “It is such a fundamentally dangerous thing. We’re at a very dangerous point in American history after some 30 to 40 years of smarter policing and declining crime. We’ve gotten comfortable. We’re feeling safe. We’ve got young people like AOC and Ilhan Omar who’ve never lived through brutal crime periods, and we’re making some […]
WASHINGTON – U.S. President Trump ordered a review of the country’s requirements for icebreaking capabilities in the Arctic and Antarctic, with the goal of getting a fleet in place by 2029, according to a memo released Tuesday. The memo was directed at the Defense, State, Commerce and Homeland Security departments, as well as the Office of Management and Budget. Much of it directs work already in progress – including building a fleet of at least three heavy icebreakers – but says the remaining ships not under contract should be reviewed for what can be done to maximize their utility in the […]
ViaAlmasdarNews.com Syria criticized the statements of the American envoy, James Jeffrey, about the current situation in Syria, stressing that it affirms that the United States is looking at the region with “Israeli eyes”, and it also represents a recognition by Washington of its responsibility for the suffering of the Syrian people.

For the first time in decades since the issue was initially raised by the NAACP and other groups, the Pentagon says it’s now “open” to considering renaming all Army bases named after Confederate generals and leaders, after pressure coming from activists and civil rights groups amid George Floyd and ‘Black Lives Matter’ protests gripping the nation for the past two weeks. This includes the sprawling Fort Hood base in Texas, named after Confederate General John Bell Hood, as well as nine other Army posts, especially Fort Lee Army Base in Virginia, named for top Confederate general Robert E.

After being deployed to police tens of thousands of protesters in Washington, DC, for more than a week, the city’s National Guard garrison has registered cases of COVID-19. The guardsmen rarely wore masks during their patrols. An unknown number of DC National Guard (DCNG) soldiers have tested positive for the novel coronavirus, a consequence of failing to wear masks during a week of activation to suppress ongoing anti-police brutality protests that have rocked the nation’s capital since late May. “We can confirm that we have had COVID-19 positive tests with the DCNG,” DC National Guard spokesperson Air Force Lt.

Toward the end of the longest economic expansion in the history of the United States, workers were finally starting to gain enough of a foothold to see real benefits from economic growth. Unemployment was at a record low, long-stagnant wages were moving up while inflation was low, consumer confidence was sky-high, and more workers felt confident enough about the economy to quit their jobs in pursuit of better work. The coronavirus pandemic, social distancing, and government-ordered shutdowns brought an end to all of that. The economy entered a recession in March, the National Bureau of Economic Research said Monday. The labor […]
Over the past few months, a lot of attention has fallen on retail investors who at times appear to have taken over the market, as institutional investors have been slow in jumping in on the “hated” rebound from the March 23 lows, with many commentators lumping all retail investors in the same bucket. However, as Goldman’s Tony Pasquariello points out, within the retail cohort there is a clear demographic divide: “the Boomers are selling equity mutual funds and ETFs every single week … that totals $73bn of YTD outflows. In stark contrast, the younger investor base is very active in single […]

This indicates the sharks must spend a good portion of their time foraging just above the seabed,” said lead author Richard Grainger in a June 7 news release. “The stereotype of a shark’s […]

Hundreds of prisoners have been released but Rajab is the only major opposition and activist figure that has been freed […]
The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Trump has directed the removal of more than a quarter of the nearly 35,000 troops stationed in Germany over the coming months and to cap the U.S. presence there at 25,000 troops. The administration has come under criticism from lawmakers in both parties. The Armed Services missive marks the largest Republican effort so far to convince the administration to change course. In addition to concerns over Russia, the GOP hawks argued capping the U.S. troop presence in Germany would impede military training and logistics. “In Europe, the threats posed by Russia have not […]

Voting and blockchain have been a controversial couple but Moscow appears determined to use the technology for a national referendum involving President Vladimir Putin.

Most of the nation will use traditional paper ballots, but residents of Moscow and the Nizhny Novgorod region will have the option of casting their votes electronically and, at least in the Muscovites’ case, having them recorded […]

The State Department had announced the designations in December but allowed a delay for them to take effect, giving time for exporters of humanitarian goods to Iran to find […]
When asked whether he planned to endorse Engel, Schumer, who endorsed Engel in previous election cycles, reiterated that he’s focused on the Senate at the moment. Engel’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The House Foreign Affairs Chairman is facing a serious primary challenge from Jamaal Bowman, a public school principal who recently snagged high profile endorsements from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). New York holds its primary June 23. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has endorsed Engel. Last week, Engel faced another obstacle to his re-election, after he was overheard on a “hot mic” […]
Britbox, the self-styled “best of British” television on-demand service, and the BBC streaming website have removed two series from Matt Lucas and David Williams over sketches which featured the comedy duo in blackface. The move to take down Little Britain and Come Fly With Me came after the streaming service Netflix decided to pull the two comedy series amidst an ongoing purge associated with demands of anti-racism groups. On Monday, the BBC and BritBox both confirmed the move to drop the comedy programmes, saying that the “times have changed” since the shows were initially broadcast, according to the Daily Mail. In both […]
WASHINGTON — The Air Force is on track to finalize a business case for its ambitious next-generation fighter this summer, its top acquisition official said Tuesday, and the results could be a make or break moment for the program. The Air Force wants to radically shift its future fighter program — also known as Next Generation Air Dominance — to a model that the service’s acquisition executive Will Roper calls the “Digital Century Series,” which would use new development techniques like digital engineering, open architecture and advances in software development techniques like DevSecOps to field advanced aircraft more quickly and cheaply.

Two tweets from National Public Radio (NPR) perfectly represent the hypocrisy of the left-leaning outlet. On one hand, NPR praises the thousands of people closely gathered to protest police brutality in the name of George Floyd, but days later, they criticized President Trump for announcing he’ll be holding rallies soon. The first tweet, posted on Saturday, reads, “Thousands of voices at a protest in D.C. came together to sing the Bill Withers classic ‘Lean on Me,’ led by local musician Kenny Sway. ‘It sounded like unity and togetherness,’ he says. ‘It sounded like love and pureness of the people.’” Thousands of […]
Authored by Michael Snyder via TheMostImportantNews.com, Have you been watching the madness that has been unfolding on Wall Street? Even though we are in the middle of the worst global pandemic in 100 years, and even though rioters and looters have been turning our major cities into war zones, stock prices have been going up day after day. In fact, the Nasdaq closed at an all-time record high on Monday. Sometimes people ask me to explain this rationally, and I can’t, because the Federal Reserve has transformed our “financial markets” into a total mockery at this point. The real economy is literally collapsing […]
After two weeks pillaging shops under the cover of George Floyd protests, over-confident looters are boasting about their hauls on Facebook. The police and FBI claim to be hot on their trail – but currently have their hands full. As if the chaotic scenes of lawlessness were not enough for Chicago, a local TV network was shocked to discover looters brazenly showing off their hauls on social media. CBS affiliate WBBM reported on the phenomenon on Monday, airing excerpts of multiple clips posted by one woman, who apparently took part in a heist and documented it all in a Facebook Live. […]
(Natural News) In response to the circulating news about the death of George Floyd, Hollywood celebrities are now signing on to an open letter calling for an end to police entirely. Names like John Legend, Lizzo, and Natalie Portman are reportedly demanding that police forces all across the United States be completely defunded in order to end “police brutality” and “systemic racism.” The letter, which appears to be Hollywood’s attempt at trying to stay relevant in the post-coronavirus era, cites a handful of alleged police brutality incidents that have been widely reported in recent days as proof that all police are […]

In the racially divided city of St. Louis the chief prosecutor has embraced a controversial tool to hold police accountable: blacklisting cops who she says are too untrustworthy to testify in court. So far, Kim Gardner has dropped more than 100 cases that relied on […]
In 2018, Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said that the retired colonel of the armed forces, whose name has not yet been released, is suspected of spying for Russia for at least 25 years. A court in Salzburg has sentenced a former colonel of the Austrian armed forces to three years in prison on espionage charges. The prosecutor’s office in Salzburg accused the colonel on 8 November 2019. Austrian investigators believe that the colonel was recruited by Igor Zaitsev, a high-ranking Russian military intelligence officer, and Vienna has issued an international arrest warrant for him. Moscow has denied Zaitsev’s involvement in espionage. […]
After the editor of Bon Appétit resigned on Monday over diversity pay practices and an old photo of him in brownface, Condé Nast staffers have begun raising questions about another executive’s old social-media posts. During an all-staff meeting on Tuesday, one anonymous employee posted a question asking about Condé Nast Entertainment chief Oren Katzeff’s old tweet about sexual consent. “Wonder why CNE has a company culture that allows leadership to have posts like this on their timelines,” the person wrote, linking to a since-deleted 2010 tweet in which Katzeff wrote: “Earlier today, I saw a girl wearing a shirt that said […]

If Christopher Giancarlo was “Crypto Dad” and Hester Peirce is “Crypto Mom,” will the U.S.’s new top bank regulator become “Crypto Uncle”? Brian Brooks, the former Coinbase legal chief, took office as Acting Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) at the end of May, barely two and a half months after being appointed First Deputy at the federal banking agency. In that time he’s already publicly suggested a federal payments charter for fintech companies, asked state and local governments to consider lifting COVID-19 lockdowns to protect the banking system and published a request for public input on how banks look at crypto.

LA City Council President Nury Martinez, who introduced a motion to cut police funding, was caught using private, round-the-clock LAPD protection at her home that may have cost taxpayers $100,000! “Today we introduced a motion to cut funding to the LAPD, as we reset our priorities in the wake of the murder of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter call that we all support to end racism. This is just one small step. We cannot talk about change, we have to be about change,” L.A. City Council President Nury Martinez said in a tweet last week. Today we intrdcd a […]
Imagine that you are a peaceful protestor, never having broken glass or drawn blood, who demonstrated against institutional racism and police brutality in your local area. At home one night during the curfew, you dream of a free society and a more open political system, before being taken by force with your family in the early hours of the morning. Your friends and fellow protestors on the streets the following day are surrounded by the paramilitary police and pro-Trump militias who fire live ammunition indiscriminately into the crowd. Survivors are rounded up and taken to a prison complex where you are […]
President Donald Trump hailed the vote on Twitter immediately after. “My decision to appoint @usairforce General Charles Brown as the USA’s first-ever African American military service chief has now been approved by the Senate,” he tweeted. “A historic day for America! Excited to work even more closely with Gen. Brown, who is a Patriot and Great Leader!” Brown’s nomination has been in the works for months, yet it comes amid nationwide protests following the death of George Floyd in police custody. Top Air Force officials led the way in speaking out over the past week and calling for dialogue on racism. […]
Most Americans believe large protests and demonstrations carry the greatest risk to health in terms of resuming everyday activities in the era of the novel coronavirus, an Axios-Ipsos poll released Tuesday revealed. The Axios/Ipsos poll surveyed 1,006 U.S. adults between June 5 and June 8 and provided them with a list of activities, asking, “How much of a risk to your health and well-being do you think the following activities are?” An overwhelming majority of Americans, 86 percent, said that protests and demonstrations carry a large or moderate risk, followed by dining in restaurants (60 percent); going to salons, barbershops, and spas […]
WASHINGTON — Gen. Charles Q. Brown will become the first black service member to lead an American military branch after lawmakers on Tuesday voted to make him the Air Force’s 22nd chief of staff. Brown, who is currently the commander of Pacific Air Forces, was confirmed for the post in an unanimous 98-0 vote. He will replace Gen. Dave Goldfein as the Air Force’s top general. The Senate’s confirmation of Brown comes just days after Defense News learned of a procedural hold on his nomination by Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska. Sullivan had delayed Brown’s nomination from moving forward due to questions […]
When we first published Kyle Bass’s “the Quiet Panic” back in April 2019, the investing community laughed off Bass’s leveraged bet against the HKD’s peg to the dollar as a novelty, and blasted Bass as a washed-up sinophobe who spends his days hanging out with Steve Bannon in an empty aircraft hanger. When unrest erupted in Hong Kong a couple of months later, talk of financial stress was, at least initially, surprisingly muted. But Beijing’s clampdown appears to finally have brought HK’s chickens home to roost, as its currency’s peg to the dollar has come under intense strain. During the interceding […]

A US city in North Carolina has banned the training of its police force by Israel’s military, in the aftermath of the brutal police killing of Black American George Floyd, reported The New Arab. Durham council voted unanimously 6-0 to adopt the ban, after a petition by activists garnered more than 1,400 signatures amid days of global protests against racism and police brutality sparked by the killing of Floyd. The council said the ban extends to any country that offers military-style training to its police force. “The Israel Defence Forces and the Israel Police have a long history of violence and […]
“Why would you fan the flames?” she said of the president’s tweet. “That’s all I’m going to say.” But though the moderate Murkowski was nearly rendered speechless, the missive mostly failed to get a rise out of Senate Republicans. Many know Trump will tweet something else soon they will be asked to respond to, even if the Buffalo tweet seemed a new frontier for Trump’s insult-laden social media persona. “It’s a serious accusation, which should only be made with facts and evidence. And I haven’t seen any,” said Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) “Most of us up here would rather […]
Emboldened by the zero-resistance police response to the destruction of a statue on Sunday, a hard-left campaign group with a history of high-profile activism has published a list of dozens of other public memorials targeted for removal. Published by the Stop Trump Coalition, and by their own reckoning, a “project in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and the topplers of Edward Colston”, the Topple The Racists list names dozens of statues and other memorials to figures from British and world history that have been judged unworthy by 21st century standards. Among the list are several perennial hate-figures for the […]
In a northern California town near Sacramento, a person or group is targeting homes with American flags on display by burning the flags and even setting trees on fire. At least four homes were targeted in one neighborhood in the city of Citrus Heights early Saturday morning. CBS 13 Sacramento talked with a woman whose American flag was torched and she said, “If it had burned longer it would have caught the house on fire. Somebody’s lives, for what?” Now, her flag is completely gone and all that’s left is a charred flagpole. Trees in the front yard of another home […]

Bubba Wallace, one of the most successful African-American drivers in NASCAR history, has called for fans to be banned from bringing Confederate flags to races, and says that the time has come for a change in the popular sport. Alabama native Wallace, who drives the number 43 car for Richard Petty Motorsports, added his voice to the wave of protests currently taking place across the United States by wearing a t-shirt which read “I can’t breathe/Black Lives Matter” prior to Sunday’s race in Atlanta, and he has since underscored his stance by calling for the sport’s authorities to take a harsher stance against […]
(Natural News) The George Floyd story is orchestrating perhaps the loudest and most obnoxious chorus of self-deprecatory virtue signaling the world has ever seen. And leave it to Planned Parenthood to chime in on Twitter with — hands-down — the most ridiculously artificial sentiment of them all. As seemingly every white liberal, large corporation, and mega-religious institution competes with one another to see who can gain the most virtue points on social media, Planned Parenthood wants the world to know that it is “devastated, grieving, and outraged by violence against Black lives,” which apparently does not include the 100,000 black lives […]

The nationwide demonstrations for racial justice in the wake of George Floyd’s death have attracted hundreds of thousands of people to the streets—including some surprises, like Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), who joined a march in Washington last Sunday. But don’t expect to see Ben Carson out there anytime soon. In an interview with The Daily Beast on Monday, the Secretary for the Department of Housing and Urban Development—and the only black member of Donald Trump’s Cabinet—didn’t totally rule out the idea of participating in a Black Lives Matter demonstration, but said “I think I have other things that probably require my […]

A 20-year old California resident was charged Monday by the Department of Justice for allegedly participating in a SIM-swapping scam that defrauded Apple and stole one victim’s cryptocurrency. Richard Yuan Li, a student at University of California-San Diego, is accused of one count of conspiracy to commit felony wire fraud in connection to the scheme, which hit 19 victims and successfully plundered a “significant portion” of crypto from one, a New Orleans doctor, according to the allegations. The DOJ filed its charges against Li in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. It is not clear how much […]

Israel’s Magistrate’s Court convicted an Israeli officer yesterday after she pleaded guilty to shooting a Palestinian man in the back, reported the times of Israel. The 20-year-old policewoman was convicted on charges of physical assault, reckless use of a weapon and obstruction of justice. The incident, which took place more than a year ago, involved the policewoman shooting 23-year-old Karam Al-Qawasmi in the back with a sponge-tipped bullet at Al-Zaeim checkpoint, situated near the illegal Israeli settlement of Ma’ale Adumim in the occupied West Bank.

Two more editors at major media companies are stepping down after staff claimed they discriminated against blacks and other minorities and demanded that reporting should not be “objective” when it comes to race. Adam Rapoport, editor-in-chief of Bon Appétit, and Christene Barberich, editor and cofounder of Refinery29, stepped down this week just days after James Bennet resigned as editorial page editor at the New York Times for publishing a commentary by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) that called for using the United States military to quell the violence that sprang up across the country after a black man, George Floyd, died while […]

The US has upped the stakes in response to the growing Russian influence in Libya, having sought to maintain a balance between the parties to the conflict and avoid siding with one at the expense of the other. For a full year Washington was content with demanding an end to the assault on the capital Tripoli by forces loyal to Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar and pushing for a political agreement under the auspices of the UN. On 27 May, though, the US Africa Command revealed that Russia had transferred 14 warplanes to Libya, after camouflaging them in Syria. Moscow’s move was […]
Lara Logan, a former CBS News journalist who was gang raped in Egypt in 2011, slammed Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender after Bender declared that calling the police for help comes from a “place of privilege.” “I remember when I was being gang-raped & beaten by a mob in Egypt, would have been great to have a police force to call then,” Logan, who was brutally gang raped by a mob of men in Cairo while covering the resignation of Hosni Mubarak for CBS News, said. “Would that have been my white privilege talking?” she asked. “I’ve stood against racism all my life,don’t […]
To counter expected adversary anti-access/area denial strategies, U.S. naval forces will face significant challenges resupplying dispersed units under emerging distributed operations concepts, particularly in the large geographical distances of the Western Pacific. Future Marine littoral regiments, for example, will require layers of manned and unmanned vessels capable of moving personnel and materiel in decentralized operations to complicate enemy decision-making and targeting. Naval leaders have made clear such decentralized resupply of small, but lethal, expeditionary teams is key to defeating anti-access/area denial threats. With the Department of the Navy already challenged to affordably build and sustain a larger combat fleet, designing, buying […]

The World Health Organization has qualified its bombshell claim that asymptomatic people rarely infect others with Covid-19, scrambling to explain how its earlier statement was misinterpreted and based on a “misunderstanding.” WHO coronavirus lead Maria Van Kerkhove attempted on Tuesday to clear up controversy around her previous claim that asymptomatic transmission was “very rare,” insisting she had been speaking based on the results of just “two or three” studies. To claim asymptomatic transmission is rare globally would be a “misunderstanding,” she explained. “I was just responding to a question, I wasn’t stating a policy of WHO or anything like that,” she […]
