WASHINGTON — The U.S. Air Force’s top acquisition official hopes money will materialize for small launch providers whose Defense Production Act contracts were withdrawn earlier this month due to a lack of funding. In mid-June, the Space and Missile Systems Center announced that it would award ride-share contracts to six firms by using funding meant to bolster companies made financially vulnerable by the coronavirus pandemic. However, the government in early July reversed course, recalling the $116 million designated for small launch providers because of “additional small business needs that were generated,” such as other government loan programs, said Will Roper, the […]
Over half of the live music venues in the city of Austin, Texas estimate they will have to shut down soon if the COVID-19 “lockdown” continues. The Texas city, known as the live music capital of the world, could soon be void of the familiar sound of bands, DJs and rappers blasting tunes from local bars. Fox 7 Austin talked with local venue owner Steve Sternschein about the financial crisis. “Of the fifty-something venues in the city, there’s going to be five or ten left after this,” he explained. A local survey showed over 60% of live music venues will not […]

Schools closed by the pandemic in the US may not open in the fall. Student and teacher safety is the latest issue to become politicized in the presidential election campaign, as both parties insist science is on their side. “We have to open our schools,” said President Donald Trump, who on Tuesday called the decision of the biggest school district in California not to reopen for in-person classes a “mistake.” “You should find yourself a new person whoever is in charge of that decision because it’s a terrible decision,” Trump told CBS News. Vice President Mike Pence echoed the sentiment during […]

Since the United States first began its occupation of Afghanistan in 2001, remaining troops have had to aid the Kabul government in its fight against the Taliban regime. Washington is now prioritising an agreement with the Islamist group in an effort to end ongoing violence. The US has closed down five military bases in Afghanistan as part of a deal with the Taliban agreed to more than four months ago, a White House representative revealed on Tuesday. The agreement committed to the removal of US forces from bases within the first 135 days, said US President Donald Trump’s special representative to the talks, Zalmay Khalilzad. […]
The White House is now requiring hospitals around the country to change how they report data on COVID-19 patients in a move that effectively bypasses the nation’s largest public health agency. In a letter from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the agency mandated that hospitals send information on their COVID-19 patients directly to a database managed by HHS rather than the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The order outlining the alteration claims it will help federal agencies move from manual data entry to automated, which would streamline the collection and dissemination of coronavirus data for multiple […]

President Donald Trump unleashed a torrent of criticism at the White House against former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday. “Joe Biden’s entire career has been a gift to the Chinese Communist Party,” Trump said.

Authored by A. Gary Shilling, originally published in Bloomberg Opinion The Social Security Trust Fund has done quite well in recent years, due to the postwar babies’ surge into the labor force in the last decades of the 20th century while retirees from the low-birth rate Great Depression years were drawing relatively few benefits. The combination of these two forces pushed the Social Security Trust Fund balance from about zero in 1980 to $2.9 trillion today. But now, the coronavirus pandemic threatens to undo all those gains, and without swift action by the government a new crisis may be at hand. […]

(Natural News) The latest weapon that the Chinese government is wielding to assert its claim over Taiwan is none other than Facebook. Leaked documents show that Beijing is using the social media platform to spread propaganda and fan pro-unification sentiments. To this day, Beijing maintains its claim over Taiwan, seeing the island as part of its territory and hoping to one ray reunite it with the mainland. Over the years, various indirect attempts to influence Taiwanese voters to elect pro-Beijing political candidates have been identified. For the most part, tying these directly to Beijing has been difficult – that is, until now. Documents […]

Rising sentiment in opposition to racist and insensitive artwork has quickly seen companies pull their products at risk of being “canceled”. However, this phenomenon has now begun to affect progressive and anti-racist products, which can be misconstrued as the opposite.

This could be through the annexation plan that is being talked about, or through the American ‘deal of the century’.

WASHINGTON — Pentagon leaders need “around $10 billion” in the next pandemic aid package to cover defense contractors’ coronavirus-related costs, according to a top defense leader.

On Monday, Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment Alan Shaffer said the money is needed to cover a host of defense contractors’ coronavirus-related expenses. Without it, the Department of Defense will have to dip into modernization and readiness funds, potentially jeopardizing smaller firms in the defense industrial base […]

This month, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency announced it would enforce federal law that dictates that foreign students are not rewarded F-1 student visas for the purpose of attending online courses. “[Foreign] students will not be permitted to enter or remain in the United States to attend such schools but they are not barred from continuing to attend all classes at these schools from abroad,” DHS officials […]

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The resurgence of COVID-19 cases is hanging over the US economy like a thick fog of uncertainty, with recovery likely suppressed and job market recovery hurt by the second wave of the pandemic, Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard said on Tuesday. “A thick fog of uncertainty still surrounds us, and downside risks predominate. The recovery is likely to face headwinds even if the downside risks do not materialize, and a second wave would magnify that challenge,” Brainard said in a web-streamed speech entitled Navigating Monetary Policy through the Fog of COVID. “It is unclear whether the rapid pace […]
A Tunisian court has sentenced blogger Emna Chargui to six months in prison and a $700 fine for reposting a Facebook joke about the coronavirus written as if it was a Quran verse. “This is unfair and unjust … this proves that there is no freedom here,” Chargui, 27, told Reuters from home where she had been waiting for the ruling. She plans to appeal as allowed within 10 days. Chargui’s sharing of the post in May angered some conservative social media users who demanded punishment in a nation periodically polarised between secular and Islamist political wings since a revolution that […]
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) blamed access to guns for the surging violence in the city during a Monday video address. Following a weekend in which 35 people were shot, including a slain one-year-old boy, de Blasio lamented the number of guns in his city and in the U.S. as a whole. He mentioned the deceased child’s name, Davell Gardner, Jr., and noted the vast number of possibilities and opportunities life could have delivered to him. De Blasio then circled back to the shooting, saying, “This is not anything that we can allow in our city.” He added, “It’s […]
Earlier this year, the UK government announced that it would allow the Chinese tech giant to build parts of Britain’s 5G network despite growing tensions between Washington and Beijing.

The minister added that this decision was about ‘the long-term security of our telecoms’. The ban will delay the rollout of the 5G network in the country by a further year, Dowden said.

After facing a deluge of criticism, including lawsuits from several colleges, the Trump Administration has decided to rescind its decision to deny student visas to students who won’t be studying on campus full time in the fall, the AP reports. The deal settles the lawsuits mentioned above, and was confirmed in a short hearing Tuesday afternoon, US District Judge Allison D. Burroughs confirmed. As the Trump Administration pushes to force schools to hold on-campus classes in the fall, ICE issued regulations earlier this month limiting foreign students’ ability to take classes online and remain in the US if they won’t be […]
…from SouthFront Saudi Arabia has become a hostage of its own military campaign in Yemen. The Kingdom suffers from both its own inability to achieve a military victory in the conflict and regular losses from the retaliatory actions of the Houthis. At the same time, the Saudi leadership has no opportunity to withdraw from the conflict and abandon its proxies there because this will undermine its already shaky position in the region and cause a wide-scale political crisis inside Saudi Arabia itself. The impact from such a crisis will be especially devastating. Over the past years, the Kingdom has been passing […]
The Trump administration has dropped a proposed policy that would have seen thousands of international students deported if their schools were offering only online courses in the fall, following a massive lawsuit. US District Judge Allison Burroughs announced Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology had reached a settlement with the administration on Tuesday to cancel the new policy, which required non-resident international students to take at least one in-person class or face deportation. The two Cambridge universities, bolstered by amicus briefs from hundreds of other schools and many tech companies, had sued the administration after Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which […]

CLEVELAND (AP) — The spotlight for change is shining on the Cleveland Indians.

Authored by Alex Nitzberg via JustTheNews.com, A GoFundMe campaign soliciting funds to purchase Goya products for food pantries near the nation’s capital has surpassed $175,000 as the Hispanic food company has become a focus of cultural contention. “Buy GOYA — Support Trump & Feed the Hungry,” the fundraiser headline reads. “What if we rise up to say no to cancel culture AND feed the hungry at the same time?” a portion of the campaign description declares.

(Natural News) Less than a year before the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) appeared out of nowhere, a team of researchers conducted a planetary “health check”, which led them to declare that the rapid destruction of Earth’s ecosystems represents an existential serious threat to humanity. And part of this threat apparently involves an increase in the rate and severity of pandemics. Could it be that a lack of concern about maintaining biodiversity and clean environments is contributing to more people getting sick, particularly during this global pandemic? Experts from the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IBPES) believe so, warning that […]

Syrian developer Ghass Mo has been living off freelance bitcoin gigs from Kurdistan, Iraq, for nearly two years. “I get paid in bitcoin for doing work on open-source projects related to the cryptocurrency industry,” Mo said. “The first programmer I met was Amir Taaki. … I learned a lot from him and he was supporting me.” It’s impossible to say how many people are like Mo, inspired by a chance meeting with a bitcoiner to embark on an educational journey toward financial sovereignty. These cases are often isolated, at least in the developing world. Yet, they are increasingly familiar to people […]

Over 130 Tesla employees have tested positive to COVID-19 out of a total of 1,550 “affected” workers, according to an internal leak obtained by electrek, which notes that “affected” appears to refer to employees who had confirmed exposure to the virus.

That which we took for granted, for example, that the United States will defend the European Union, is […]
