On a day where President Donald Trump tried to stick to his script in a return to coronavirus briefings, he still managed to mangle his messaging by lying about his mask use and wishing an accused sex trafficker well. Appearing solo without the burden of fact purveyors like doctors and experts, Trump initially read stiltedly from a paper in front of him, telling assembled reporters about the importance of masks and social distances following months of ignoring or deriding both practices. “I have the mask right here, I carry it. And I will use it gladly, no problem with it,” Trump […]

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Tuesday decried President Donald Trump’s executive order which will exclude Illegal aliens from being counted for purposes of congressional apportioning. “Counting every person in our country through the Census is a principle so foundational that it is written into our Constitution,” Newsom said in a statement. “This latest action by the administration to exclude undocumented immigrants when determining representation in Congress, rooted in racism and xenophobia, is a blatant attack on our institutions and our neighbors.” Earlier Tuesday, President Trump signed the order, saying the memorandum is designed to bar “illegal aliens from the apportionment base following the […]

Algeria expects its oil and gas revenue to fall to $23 billion this year from $33 billion in 2019, energy minister Abdelmadjid Attar told state radio on Tuesday.

Genome Data Help Track Community Spread of COVID-19 by NIH Director’s Blog/Dr. Francis Collins Contact tracing, a term that’s been in the news lately, is a crucial tool for controlling the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. It depends on quick, efficient identification of an infected individual, followed by identification of all who’ve recently been in close contact with that person so the contacts can self-quarantine to break the chain of transmission. Properly carried out, contact tracing can be extremely effective. It can also be extremely challenging when battling a stealth virus like SARS-CoV-2, especially when the virus is spreading […]

Fired FBI director James Comey on Tuesday criticized the Trump administration’s crackdown on ongoing riots in the Democrat-controlled city of Portland, branding it “the stuff of American nightmares since 1776.” “With some protesters itching for street confrontations with officers in full tactical gear, federal officials are giving a small group of violent people what they want,” Comey wrote in an op-ed for the Washington Post. “[T]hey are giving the citizens of Portland — and the rest of us, no matter our politics — what we don’t want: the specter of unconstrained and anonymous force from a central government authority.

WASHINGTON — In a strong bipartisan vote, House lawmakers on Tuesday passed their $740.5 billion plan for the annual defense authorization bill, including provisions for a hefty military pay raise next year, new restrictions on the president’s war powers and requirements that the Defense Department rename bases honoring Confederate leaders. That last item prompted another veto threat from President Donald Trump earlier in the day, echoing his comments in recent weeks that renaming the bases would dishonor troops who served at those locations. Democratic lawmakers have disagreed, saying the continued tributes to the Confederacy are offensive to minorities and Americans as […]

A new study published in the Nature Climate Change journal on Monday states that polar bears could face extinction if climate change continues to melt sea ice. The study found that polar bears in the Arctic may near extinction by the end of the century due to climate change-induced melting of ice. The findings were based on models of greenhouse gas emissions. The researchers’ study foresees a dwindling population of bears, with their model suggesting that “with high greenhouse gas emissions, steeply declining reproduction and survival will jeopardize the persistence of all but a few high-Arctic subpopulations by 2100.” “Moderate emissions […]

All but one of those lawmakers voted for House Bill 6, which provided the $1.3 billion to prevent the shutdown of FirstEnergy Solutions’ two nuclear power plants and a coal plant. But even with that support, Householder and the others indicted had to spend millions on advertising to ensure passage of the bill. The bill to aid FirstEnergy Solutions, which was rechristened Energy Harbor after exiting Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in February, also gutted the state’s renewable power portfolio standard and its energy efficiency mandates.

Update (1715ET): As expected, President Trump said Tuesday evening that all Americans should wear masks and follow other social distancing guidelines.

At the beginning of the 2016 election cycle, if someone had told me I would be casting a ballot for Donald Trump, I would have doubted their sanity. I’m a native New Yorker, born and bred in Brooklyn, and I was well-acquainted with the Trump’s high-flown and sometimes messy lifestyle from the papers and tabloids. But I didn’t really have to have an opinion on Trump because we inhabited different worlds. As the 2016 campaigns ground on, I discovered things about Trump that I hadn’t known – his intense patriotism, for one thing – and I knew I would vote for whatever candidate the Republicans […]

New reports out of the Middle East allege that the use of the US’ sword-carrying Hellfire R9-X “ninja bomb” has increased in recent weeks, and that it was most recently used in a Monday attack on alleged terrorists in northern Syria.

Images uploaded to social media by independent outlet Islamic World News showed what is believed to be the remaining wreckage from the scene. Though little is known about the Monday strike, the Jerusalem Post noted […]
Prince Harry issued a furious denial of impropriety today after an anti-monarchy campaign group accused the prince of violating rules around charity funding. In a letter to the Charity Commission, Graham Smith, the CEO of anti-Royal campaign group Republic, alleged that funds were transferred from William and Kate’s royal foundation to Harry and Meghan’s foundation because of the “personal relationship” between the two patrons and accused the organizations of “inappropriate use of charitable funds, conflicts of interest and lack of independence.” The annual report for William and Kate’s foundation shows it paid Sussex Royal £145,000 to fund its set-up and launch, […]

Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi travelled to Tehran today where Iranian state media reported he would meet Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on his first foreign trip since taking office in May, Reuters reported.

The Iraqi premier faces a tough balancing act between Iran and the United States who have come close to open conflict in the region, including on Iraqi soil over the past year.

The veto threat could put pressure on House Republicans, who have so far supported the $741 billion policy bill, mere hours before a final vote. Chief among the administration’s complaints with the House is a provision requiring the removal of Confederate names from Army bases within a year of the bill’s enactment. Trump has signaled he would nix legislation that attempts to rename the 10 bases. The veto threat called the provision “part of a sustained effort to erase from the history of the Nation those who do not meet an ever-shifting standard of conduct.” Echoing Trump, the White House warned […]

Earlier this June, the Department of Defense released the unclassified summary of its 2020 Defense Space Strategy, which openly designates space as a “distinct warfighting domain,” a distinction that only recently gained national policy acceptance. With this document, the DoD now has the authorization to begin preparing to deter potential space adversaries, and should deterrence fail, to win a conflict that extends into space. This important update to the near-decade-old National Security Space Strategy follows an April announcement by U.S. Space Command that Russia conducted a direct-ascent anti-satellite (DA-ASAT) missile test that is purportedly capable of destroying low-Earth orbit satellites.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) told Politico on Tuesday that he doesn’t expect Congress to pass the next relief bill by next week, in stark contrast to a prediction by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

McConnell did say that another round of direct payments to US citizens was in the cards. He did not elaborate on […]

While we certainly don’t agree with billionaire Mark Cuban on everything, his current take on the market seems to be spot on. The billionaire took to CNBC on Monday and said that today’s market reminds him an awful lot of the 1990s dot com bubble. And if anybody had a good feel for the dot com era, it’s Cuban, who made billions off of the boom and managed to cash out before chaos hit, selling his company for $5.7 billion in 1999. Now, he thinks an influx of new retail traders is a bellwether for how frothy the market has become. […]

Apparently, we have another “Yanny or Laurel” situation on our hands—except this one is more uniquely crafted for the deeply divided politics of 2020. During yet another combative White House press briefing on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany sparred a bit with Al Jazeera English correspondent Kimberly Halkett on issues of foreign election interference and mail-in voting. McEnany eventually cited a Wall Street Journal op-ed while saying there are “questions about mass mail-out voting,” prompting Halkett to interject. As a result, McEnany lectured the reporter. “I know you don’t want to hear them which is why you talk over […]

Authored by James Rickards via The Daily Reckoning, It’s widely believed that the stock market looks ahead and discounts the future. But consider this November’s presidential election… Joe Biden has a substantial lead over President Trump in the polls. But Biden’s platform is not what you would call market friendly.

But the stock market is near all-time highs again, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average nearing 27,000, the S&P over 3,200 and the Nasdaq actually at record highs.

Former Vice President Joe Biden released a plan Tuesday to tax “real estate investors” to pay for a new federal benefit that, he says, will cover the costs of elder care and child care so working-age adults can focus on their own jobs.
