While critics of US President Donald Trump gloated over the Supreme Court ruling in the matter of his taxes, another verdict returning much of Oklahoma to the Creek Nation has far bigger implications for the country down the line. “On the far end of the Trail of Tears was a promise,” Justice Neil Gorsuch – a Trump appointee presumed to be a conservative textualist – declared at the start of the majority opinion in McGirt v. Oklahoma, referring to the removal of Native Americans that began in 1831. Gorsuch sided with the four liberal justices in ruling that a large portion of […]

Pretending to be about fighting for rights of Black Americans who are abused by police officers, Black Lives Matter rose to prominence in the wake of the 2014 Ferguson shooting. The propaganda machine began rolling, conning millions of Blacks and Whites, across America, into believing there were race wars everywhere, and you better step up and destroy cities, or you too will be abused by every cop in America, no matter their […]

SCOTUS has ruled that Trump will have to keep fighting in order to keep his tax and financial records secret, allowing Manhattan’s district attorney to pursue a subpoena of the records and sending a similar case by House Democrats back down to the lower courts.

During an interview with the Hill on Thursday, White House Coronavirus Task Force member Dr. Anthony Fauci stated that he doesn’t think we need to revert back to “an extreme” of shutting back down, but that hard-hit states should start “pausing in their opening process, looking at what did not work well, and try to mitigate that.” Fauci said, “I would hope we don’t have to resort to shutdown. I think that would be something that is obviously an extreme. I think it would not be viewed very favorably, even by the states and the cities involved. So, rather than think in terms […]

Democrats are promising the creation of an “environmental justice fund” as part of the proposals outlined by the radical Biden-Sanders “unity” platform released this week. The platform, which contains a series of proposals the task force that both Joe Biden (D) and Sen.

And all Americans should benefit from […]
WASHINGTON — The Air Force is keeping an eye on the Army’s next-generation rotorcraft program, which could fill a gap for agile airlift that might be needed in a fight against Russia and China, an Air Force general said Thursday. With its large airbases vulnerable to attacks from a near-peer adversary, there’s no guarantee that the Air Force will be able to rely on its current processes or equipment to transfer supplies in and out of airbases. In a war with China or Russia, the Air Force would distribute its assets to bases owned by allies and partners, cutting down the […]
The Strangest Recession In History Tyler Durden Thu, 07/09/2020 – 16:21 “Recessions don’t usually result in personal income soaring, but this one has thanks to government support around the world” Deutsche Bank’s Jim Reid writes bringing attention to the following chart. However, as discussed extensively last month in “‘Look Out Below’: Why The Economy Is About To Fly Off A Fiscal Cliff“, the US soon faces a potential “benefits cliff” and this could be one of the defining events for global markets this summer.

A preliminary study set to soon be published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal suggests that a century-old tuberculosis vaccine may play a role in decreasing COVID-19 mortality rates. The research, conducted by Assistant Professor Luis Escobar of Virginia Tech’s College of Natural Resources and Environment and two officials at the US National Institutes of Health, sought to uncover why developing countries, including some Latin American ones, are seeing lower COVID-19 mortality rates than several US states. “This is remarkable, considering that [these parts of] Latin America have much higher population densities than the North American states […]
The executive branch of the world’s chemical weapons watchdog on Thursday condemned the use of banned sarin and chlorine bombs by Syria’s air force, but stopped short of taking direct action to penalise Damascus, Reuters reports. It followed a report in April by Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons investigators, which found that Syrian Sukhoi Su-22 military planes and a helicopter dropped the bombs on the village of Ltamenaha in the Hama region in March 2017. Syria, which joined the OPCW in 2013 to avert military intervention by the United States over a previous chemical attack, has said it fully destroyed a stockpile […]
MALVERN, Pennsylvania — Vice President Mike Pence told Breitbart News exclusively in Pennsylvania that U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s comments earlier on Thursday dismissing vandals who destroyed a Christopher Columbus statue in Baltimore on July 4 were “unconscionable.” Pence, who sat with Breitbart News for an exclusive interview on his and President Donald Trump’s campaign bus — Pence’s first campaign bus tour since before the coronavirus pandemic hit — expressed the outrage he felt when he saw Pelosi’s comments, just moments before. “I can’t believe the third-ranking Constitutional officer in the American government — let me start again,” Pence began. “I […]

Violent clashes that rocked Belgrade and other cities this week were “carefully prepared,” and are aimed at seizing power and igniting a civil war in Serbia, the Balkan country’s defense minister has alleged. What started as a demonstration against the government-planned curfew over the coronavirus eventually got out of hand and snowballed into massive riots that saw mostly young people assaulting police squads in Belgrade and other major Serbian cities. The brewing unrest is actually a coup attempt, Serbian Defense Minister Aleksandar Vulin opined on Thursday while speaking on local television. The “terrible street violence” has purely political backgrounds, he argued. […]

Text and Photos: Andre Vltchek for VT Some twenty years ago, when I moved to Hanoi, the city was bleak, grey, covered by smog. The war had ended, but terrible scars remained. I brought my 4WD from Chile, and insisted on driving it myself. It was one of the first SUVs in the city. Each time I drove it, it was hit by scooters, which flew like projectiles all over the wide avenues of the capital. Hanoi was beautiful, melancholic, but clearly marked by war. There were stories, terrible stories of the past. In “my days”, Vietnam was one of […]
A new study has shed light on why a woman developed a fatal brain disease linked to mad cow disease several years after piercing her skin with contaminated laboratory equipment. A woman in France who developed a rare and fatal brain disease did so via accidental lab exposure to the proteins that cause mad cow disease, a new study has found. The initial exposure happened in May 2010, as the then-24-year-old technician “handled frozen sections of brain of transgenic mice that overexpressed the human prion protein” as part of her work, according to the report. Prions are the type of protein […]
(Natural News) The 30-day emergency powers invoked by Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker came to an end on April 8, 2020; however, that date did not stop the power-drunk governor from issuing a series of restrictive orders on certain individuals, activities, and businesses. Like most tyrants that came before him, Pritzker controlled people’s lives by telling them he was keeping them “safe.” But on July 2, 2020, an Illinois Circuit Court declared that Governor JB Pritzker’s coronavirus emergency orders are now “NULL AND VOID.” Governor Pritzker issued an ongoing stay-at-home order after his 30-day emergency reign was over, and he issued a […]

A proposed 25-year cooperation deal between Iran and China has raised controversy within and outside Iran, even before the potential pact is finalized, Anadolu Agency reports. While critics of the Hassan Rouhani-led government describing the move as a “secretive” agreement, Rouhani and his cabinet colleagues have strongly come out in its defense. According to sources, the “comprehensive” $400 billion agreement has been on the drawing board since January 2016, when Chinese President Xi Jinping became the first world leader to visit Iran following the signing of the nuclear deal (JCPOA) between Tehran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany. During the historic visit, the […]
Esper also told lawmakers on Thursday that he never received any intelligence briefing that included the word “bounty,” in response to a carefully worded question about the reports.
