Informed sources said that Jared Kushner, the senior adviser and son-in-law of the US President Donald Trump, will visit Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Oman in early September to persuade Gulf leaders to normalise relations with Israel, as the UAE did. Axios quoted Israeli and Arab sources as saying that Kushner will, in the first week of September, tour the Middle East, accompanied by the White House representative to international negotiations, Avi Berkowitz. The tour will start with a visit to Jerusalem and then the UAE with the aim of inspecting the implementation of the US mediated agreement to normalise relations between the […]

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) praised the purported political shift in the country, telling Vanity Fair that people are “discovering their own power” and calling it “profoundly exciting.” Vanity Fair featured the New York lawmaker in a photo portfolio “celebrating the founders of Black Lives Matter, the Squad, John Boyega, Noname, Billy Porter, and more on the forefront of change.” Jacqueline Woodson, who penned the portfolio’s essay, said she wants to “look into the face of a country built on the bodies of Black folks as more than 400 years of rage and a balance long overdue bites it on its ass, paints […]
Owners of the embattled New Jersey workout facility Atilis Gym, which has been shut down every time it attempted to bypass COVID restrictions, have announced they’ll now double as a campaign location, allowing the gym to stay open. Atilis owners Frank Trumbetti and Ian Smith revealed the new plans on Sunday morning’s “Fox & Friends,” announcing the gym will serve as U.S. Senate candidate Rick Mehta’s rally location. “We took a stand for our constitutional rights and for the rights of all small business owners throughout the country,” Smith said.

With the school year quickly approaching and parents at various stages of being fed up with their children being at home all day, New York’s elite private schools have started to release plans on how they plan on tackling the upcoming school year. While the city’s public schools struggle to figure out how to safely teach the city’s 1.1 million students safely, some of the most expensive schools in the city have already put plans in place on how to re-open this fall. It’s incredible what paying $50,000 per year, per student, can get you. Bloomberg took a look at how […]
(Natural News) Since authorities declared the pandemic in March and set quarantine protocols, the skies have cleared up due to reductions in man-made causes of air pollution. This is a good thing, as long-term exposure to air pollution has been found to raise the risk of COVID-19. But scientists are starting to shed light on another group of threats that might be far deadlier than air pollution in light of the threat of COVID-19: toxic chemicals. From insecticides to non-stick pans, thousands of harmful chemicals could be lurking in common household tools and products. Exposure to these chemicals can impair the normal functioning […]
Brown Dwarfs are objects in space situated in weight between the lightest stars and the largest gas giants, although they have failed to sustain nuclear fusion using the hydrogen in their cores, as normal stars do. An ensemble of citizen scientists have discovered 95 “cool worlds” close to the sun – celestial objects, known as brown dwarfs, that are larger than palnetsand are of a lighter weight than stars, a new study reveals. Published in the Astrophysical Journal and on an arXiv.org preprint server, the research reveals that “previously unrecognized substellar neighbors to the sun” have been identified by the citizen scientist […]
Morocco’s Ministry of National Education, Vocational Training, Higher Education and Scientific Research announced on Saturday the implementation of “e-learning” as a teaching approach to start the new 2020-2021 academic year on 7 September. The approach will be enforceable in all public and private educational institutions as well as schools run by foreign missions. The ministry said in a press release that “school attendance” will be credited to learners when parents approve the option by setting up a feedback mechanism that allows such a choice. It clarified that the move is being made due to the alarming pandemic situation in Morocco, marked […]
“That effectively is how the project is killed,” said the person, who requested anonymity to discuss the deliberations. “This one had a huge number of problems.” Several prominent Republicans, including Donald Trump Jr. and Trump campaign donor and Bass Pro Shops CEO Johnny Morris, had begun to publicly speak out against the project.

I agree that a permit […]
The Republican National Committee (RNC) approved a resolution repudiating the disgraced Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the purported “anti-hate” organization that has become a vehicle for smearing conservatives and critics of radical leftism. The resolution commits the RNC to officially “Refuting the legitimacy of the Southern Poverty Law Center to identify hate groups.” The SPLC bills itself as an expert on “hate groups,” maintaining a “hate map” that tracks them around the country. However, the SPLC has repeatedly added mainstream conservative organizations to its list, smearing their reputation and allowing violent far-left criminals to locate and target them. The RNC resolution notes […]
Via Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com, Investment advisor and former Assistant Secretary of Housing Catherine Austin Fitts says big change is ahead of the world, and “nothing will ever be the same.” Fitts lays out the so-called “reset” you’ve been hearing about for the past few years and says, “We are in the process that I would recall is a global reset.

By M. Raphael Johnson, Ph.D. Published July 11, 2017 On April 28, 2002, a military helicopter went down in the southern part of the Krasnoyarsk region of Siberia. On board was a major Russian dignitary, Gen. Alexander Lebed, governor of the region. Lebed was pronounced dead at the scene. Almost immediately, the international press blamed “heavy fog” for the incident. However, at the time, every member of the Russian military was convinced the death of Lebed was no accident, but rather another hit by the international Jewish mafia, an organization that had long since taken control over much of Russia’s economy.

President Donald Trump jokingly told the crowd at the Republican National Convention to replace their “four more years” chant with “12” because it will make his critics “crazy,” and they played right into his hand. Trump has floated the idea several times of holding the office of the presidency beyond two terms, despite the position holding exactly a two-term limit. He’s previously trolled his critics, who have called him everything from a white supremacist to an enemy of the state to traitor, with memes that have ignited outrage among many on the left. The president continued trolling while speaking at the […]

Elizabeth Warren’s campaign for president had the patina of an “anti-corruption” crusade, giving a populist spin to technocratic fixes that would update the embedded liberalism of the postwar era for the twenty-first century. Think tanks and public intellectuals likewise emphasize antitrust as a means to improve the welfare of consumers and workers while giving smaller […]
Eskandar Momeni, director general of Iran Drug Control Headquarters, said Monday that not only has the US war in Afghanistan caused an explosion in poppy cultivation, but also that US military aircraft are smuggling drugs out of the country. Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) reported Monday that Momeni blamed the US for the explosion of the Afghan drug trade over the last 20 years. “In the year 2000, the total production of narcotics in Afghanistan stood at about 200 tons, which rose to over 9,000 tons in 2017, an increase of about 50 times,” Momeni said during a Monday video conference […]
After an evening of unrest over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, Wisconsin authorities vowed that “justice will be served” as the city of Kenosha imposed a curfew and the governor called in the National Guard. A video of the shooting that was recorded by a bystander appears to show a Kenosha police officer shooting the Black 29-year-old several times at point-blank range as he tried to get into a van with his children. Immediately after the video was posted on social media, protesters took to the streets in outrage, with some setting fires and vandalizing parts of the city. “Justice […]

In June, former Morgan Stanley Asia chairman Stephen Roach predicted that the US dollar may plummet at least 35 percent against other major currencies in the not-so-distant future as the era of the greenback is apparently coming to an end. Ongoing Washington-Beijing trade tensions along with America’s growing debt may prove factors to herald the beginning of the end of the US dollar era, Bloomberg reports. The news outlet pointed to the current situation when “after nine years of strength, the [US national ] currency is being assailed from all sides”, something that can be compared to turning points in 1985 and […]
Billionaire hedge fund investor Leon Cooperman is perhaps best known for appearing on CNBC every time there is a modest selloff to blame the algos that “wreak havoc” to the downside, if ignoring when the same algos relentlessly push stocks ever higher. But today, the Omega Advisors founder made an exception, when instead of attacking programs that merely do what their 20-year-old programmers tell them to do, he put the Federal Reserve squarely in his sights, saying the Fed has created “a speculative bubble” that has pushed debt levels beyond what the U.S. economy can support. Perhaps having read our weekend […]
(Natural News) Plants were efficient absorbers of carbon dioxide during the early Miocene – a period with high levels of carbon dioxide, found a study published in the journal Climate of the Past. Researchers from New Zealand analyzed plant fossils from a former lake and discovered that the levels of carbon dioxide at the time exceeded those recorded today. They added that Miocene plants had features that equipped them to grow in drier and hotter climate. With such enhanced plants, the high carbon levels provided a “forest fertilization effect.” These findings are useful in the context of today’s rising levels of carbon dioxide. With the study’s reconstruction of early Miocene […]

He added that Athens did not have the right to broadcast maritime navigational and weather advisories, known as Navtex, in areas claimed by Ankara. Greece has declared its own Navtex unlawfully and in a spoiled manner…With this approach, Greece has sown chaos that […]
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) discussed former Vice President Joe Biden’s failure at the Democratic National Convention to condemn the rioters burning down major cities and the “defund the police” movement, providing his comments on Monday’s edition of Breitbart News Daily. Scalise spoke with host Alex Marlow as the Louisiana conservative plans to speak before the Republican National Convention on Monday. He teased that he plans to talk about President Donald Trump’s cares about the forgotten man and woman and how he truly cares about his fellow Americans. Scalise, who was sent to the hospital after being shot by a Sen. […]
BEIJING — A look at recent developments in the South China Sea, where China is pitted against smaller neighbors in multiple territorial disputes over islands, coral reefs and lagoons. The waters are a major shipping route for global commerce and are rich in fish and possible oil and gas reserves. ___ US STRIKE GROUP RETURNS TO SOUTH CHINA SEA The U.S. Navy says the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan and its strike group entered the South China Sea earlier this month and have been carrying out air operations. China routinely objects to U.S. naval activity in the sea, especially when more than […]
The Connecticut city formerly best known as “dirty Danbury” – perhaps previously best known for the name of the nearby women’s prison where “Orange is the New Black”‘s author served her sentence – is back in the headlines this week after announcing that it plans to name its new sewage treatment plant after HBO comedian John Oliver. Why? Because Oliver lambasted the city in a bit from his popular weekly political humor show “Last Week Tonight”. During a segment about discrimination in jury selection affecting most of Connecticut’s small-ish cities (it’s a mostly suburban state), Oliver offered to “fight” anybody from […]
The most difficult to value opaque assets on a bank’s books – called Level 3 assets – rose by more than 20% for lenders like Barclays Plc, Citigroup Inc., BNP Paribas SA and Societe Generale SA during the first half of 2020. These sometimes illiquid and difficult to value trades are now worth a cumulative $250 billion, according to Bloomberg. Level 3 assets can include distressed debt, some mortgage backed bonds, high risk loans and derivatives linked to things like interest rates and corporate debt. Even better? Nobody can explain the jump in the value of assets, which are marked to market using […]
(Natural News) Sara Gideon, one of Joe Biden’s supporters who made an appearance at the recent virtual Democratic National Convention, is a far-left politician from Maine who many are unaware led the charge in her state to kill a legislative bill that would have outlawed a gruesome form of sexual abuse known as female genital mutilation. According to Gideon, it is “racist” to tell Muslims and black people from Africa – these being the two groups that mutilate female genitals the most – that they cannot sever the clitorises of their infant girls while sewing their vaginas closed. The tolerant thing […]
As two major storms are forecast to bring inches of rainfall and dangerous storm surges to the US Gulf Coast, thousands of residents have started making preparations ahead of what many weather experts are referring to as a “one-two punch” from Mother Nature. According to the US National Hurricane Center’s (NHC) most recent updates, the twin hurricane threat to the US South was downgraded somewhat early on Monday, as Hurricane Marco weakened back to a tropical storm. However, the same cannot be said for Tropical Storm Laura, which is expected to make landfall late Wednesday as a Category 2 hurricane. In […]
Greece will proceed with plans to extend a cement and barbed-wire fence that it set up in 2012 along its northern border with Turkey to prevent migrants from entering the country, the government said on Monday. The conservative government made the decision this year, spokesman Stelios Petsas said after tens of thousands of asylum seekers tried to enter EU member Greece in late February when Ankara said it would no longer prevent them from doing so. Greece, which is at odds with neighbouring Turkey over a range of issues, has been a gateway to Europe for people fleeing conflicts and poverty […]
Trump’s California criticism and anti-green energy message is likely to be a steady refrain during this week’s RNC convention as the president tries to cut into his Democratic challenger’s lead in the polls, particularly in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania. Trump narrowly won the state in 2016, but the latest surveys show Biden up by more than five points in the race for the state’s 20 electoral votes. Biden has said fighting climate change would be among his top priorities, and he included it alongside the pandemic, the recession and racial strife as one of the greatest problems facing the […]
The head of the armed forces of India warned on Monday that a military response to the Chinese invasion of Indian territory in the Himalayas is still possible, even after over a month of talks to cool tensions between Beijing and New Delhi. General Bipin Rawat, India’s Chief of Defense Staff, said in interviews that any military attack on India’s part would only occur “if talks at the military and diplomatic level fail” and that said talks continued. The remarks followed reports last week, however, of military reinforcements on both sides of the India-China border and a large Chinese People’s Liberation Army […]
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army is testing whether technologies developed in a lab to defend the tactical network and ensure safe data transfer can survive real-world conditions. These tools differ from traditional cyber defense methods given the makeup of the Army’s tactical network. Unlike a static enterprise network where servers sit in air-conditioned buildings and have near-constant connectivity, the tactical network must be mobile and distributed. This would complement the Army’s goal that formations be able to more frequently change locations, sometimes more than once an hour, in response to new tracking techniques from adversaries. Thus, the tactical network must involve […]
Via SchiffGold.com, The Nasdaq and S&P500 made new all-time highs last week. That leads many people to believe the economy must be doing OK. But as Peter Schiff explained in his podcast, the very thing that’s helping Wall Street boom is crushing the actual Main Street economy. If you really stop and think about it, the continued stock market climb should be a bit perplexing. After all, the economy was effectively shut down for weeks and governments continue to impose many restrictions to this day. Unemployment has skyrocketed and we remain in the midst of a deep recession. And yet we […]
VT: Low dosage Sarin gas was tested on the New York subway system more than a decade ago. People got sick. We believe that test and others along with studies listed below and information from Senate hearings provides sufficient backdrop to support what everyone is coming to see. It isn’t just Italy, New York is an epicenter too and it isn’t simply CV 19 but chemical weapons that mimic the disease, according to highest level intelligence sources. Defense experts are seeing a targeted biowar on China, Italy, Spain, Iran and left-leaning political regions of the US. We will now discuss our […]
Two returning champs had heavyweight homecomings as they set foot in Russia again for the first time since title triumphs, with footage capturing the remarkable scenes as crowds and choirs met Vadim Nemkov and Alexander Povetkin. As the doors opened to allow Povetkin out of customs at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport, a Cossack choir in full uniform sang the new WBC interim champion’s praises in stirring style. Povetkin stood center stage as the singers and musicians gave him a knockout welcome by forming a circle to serenade the 40-year-old, who crushed contender Dillian Whyte with a stunning fifth-round uppercut in a back-from-the-brink upset in the UK on Saturday.

According to the release, the man went up to one victim and removed an item from their hands before hugging them. The […]
President Donald Trump welcomed his formal re-nomination at the Republican National Convention much like he has greeted crowds across the country, press in the briefing room at the White House and workers on factory floors in the months after his rallies were shut down: with a lengthy, rambling, grievance-filled speech. Despite promising an “optimistic” event, Trump had no sooner taken to the podium, before he complained about mail in voting, an evidence free attack on the democratic method that he returned to several times over the course of the more than 50 minute address. “The only way they can take this […]

The China coronavirus (COVID-19) is dispersing but some communist run regimes around the world are still using it as a vehicle to punish those they don’t like. Below are some examples: China is reportedly using COVID as an excuse to suppress Catholic services within its borders. Breitbart reported that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is using the coronavirus pandemic as an excuse for shutting down Catholic worship, according to a report Friday from UCANews. China also is punishing Hong Kong for its anti-China sentiment. The tiny country Hong Kong has been under COVID-19 restrictions since January of this year. The schools […]
Algeria has set November 1 as a date for a referendum on a new constitution aimed at boosting democracy and giving parliament a greater role, the presidency said on Monday, after months-long protests demanding reforms. Elected last December, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has repeatedly pledged to introduce political and economic reforms and to meet demands raised in demonstrations that toppled veteran president Abdelaziz Bouteflika in April 2019. The new constitution would give the prime minister and parliament more powers to govern North African country of 45 million people, a draft released earlier this year showed. The referendum date was announced after Tebboune’s […]
Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden admitted in an interview Sunday night with ABC News’s Robin Roberts that he should not have suggested that voters who were undecided about supporting him or President Donald Trump “ain’t black.” “I shouldn’t have said that,” Biden told Roberts when asked about the remark. “I was trying to make the point, [Trump] is a man that spent his entire career denigrating African Americans. The truth is, there is a fundamental difference between Donald Trump and me on the issue of race across the board,” Biden said. “I’m not gonna try to divide people.” Biden faced a lot of […]
Comedian Chris Rock imparted from practical advice for the black community on how to avoid violent confrontations with law enforcement. In a bit from his 90s’s-era HBO show “The Chris Rock Show,” Rock gives several tips to his black brethren on how not to get their “ass kicked” during an encounter with police. “People in the black community – myself – have often worried that we might be a victim of police brutality,” Rock told the audience. “So, as a public service, The Chris Rock Show proudly presents this educational video.” In the sketch, Rock explains the “common sense” actions for […]
Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News, CNN host Brian Stelter announced Sunday that the network will ‘live fact check’ the Republican National Convention, promoting critics to ask why the network didn’t do the same during the snore fest that was the Democratic National Convention. Stelter declared that because there will likely be a “stream of disinformation” at the RNC this week, CNN will “cut away” from the event as and when it needs to correct GOP claims. Stelter also hilariously slammed other networks for being biased. “There is an asymmetry in our media…where Fox is off there on the right […]
(Natural News) Left-wing rioters and terrorists deployed rifles against a Sheriff’s Dept. “Bearcat” vehicle on Sunday night, revealing the rapid escalation of Leftists and their desire to engage law enforcement with force as a way to spark a hot civil war in America. The lawless actions by yet more left-wing rioters followed an incident where a black thug with a long criminal record of domestic abuse and sexual assault broke away from police custody and was filmed reaching into his vehicle most likely to acquire a weapon. He was shot by police, which is of course what any reasonable law enforcement […]
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – A Texas A&M University professor working on projects for NASA has been arrested and will be charged for allegedly hiding his affiliations with Chinese state-owned academic and commercial institutions, the US Justice Department said in a statement on Monday. “Texas A&M University (TAMU) Professor Zhengdong Cheng is expected to make his initial appearance before US Magistrate Judge Sam Sheldon today at 2 p.m. in Houston. Authorities took him into custody Sunday, Aug. 23,” the statement said. According to the charges, the 53-year-old Cheng willfully took steps to obscure his affiliations and collaboration with a Chinese university and at […]
Canada and families of the victims of a downed Ukrainian jetliner are pressing Iran for additional answers after an announcement by Tehran on Sunday provided “limited and selected information.” The announcement by the head of Iran’s Civil Aviation Organisation marked the first official report on the contents of the cockpit voice and data recordings, which were sent to France for analysis in July. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has said it accidentally shot down Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752 on January 8, mistaking it for a missile at a time when tensions were high between Iran and the United States. Many of the […]
President Donald Trump made a surprise in-person appearance at the Republican National Convention on Monday in Charlotte, North Carolina. Trump took the stage in Charlotte after Republican state delegates nominated the president for re-election. As the delegates cheered and chanted “Four more years!” Trump joked, “If you want to really drive them crazy you say: Twelve more years.” Trump said he was determined to appear at the convention after the roll call was completed. “What’s more important than the roll call?” Trump asked. “You’re the ones calling it.” Trump criticized CNN and other networks for failing to air the convention roll […]
Citing impermissible trial court errors made during the jury selection process, the California state Supreme Court has just thrown out the death sentence of Scott Peterson, one of the greatest tabloid villains of the 2000s. Peterson was convicted and then sentenced to death in 2004 for the killing of his his eight-months-pregnant wife, Laci, 27, in their Modesto home on Christmas Eve 2002. He was also convicted of murdering their unborn son, Conner. Their remains washed ashore in Richmond four months later near an area where Peterson said he had gone fishing. He has maintained his innocence. According to Bloomberg, the […]
By Sajjad Shaukat for Veterans Today Despite the deployment more than 100,000 troops in the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK and use of every kind of state terrorism against the Kashmiris, the prolonged war has demoralised the Indian security forces. Failure in crushing the war of liberation has resulted into serious negative effects found in the Indian security forces. Particularly, since 1989, when Kashmiris accelerated war of liberation, Indian military and paramilitary troopers have martyred tens of thousands of the Kashmiris, including women and children through ruthless tactics such […]
Just hours after Berlin’s Charite clinic announced that it believes stricken Moscow protest leader Alexey Navalny is a victim of poisoning, the German government has told Moscow to find those responsible. The unprecedented statement, signed by Chancellor Angela Merkel and Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, called on Russian authorities to conduct a “transparent and comprehensive” investigation into the circumstances around the anti-corruption campaigner’s illness. “According to a statement from the team of doctors at Charite, data from clinical studies indicates that Alexey Navalny was poisoned,” it reads. The message goes on to say that, “Taking into account Navalny’s prominent role among the […]

On Monday, the Royal Air Force has reported that Typhoon fighter jets currently deployed in Lithuania have intercepted a Russian IL-20 (NATO code name COOT A) Ilyushin Il-20M radar reconnaissance and electronic intelligence aircraft operating over the Baltic Sea. The Ilyushin Il-20M is an upgraded electronic signals intelligence aircraft based on a 1950s-era turboprop-powered plane. Spy plane carries a wide array of antennas, optical and infrared sensors, and side-looking radar, as well as satellite communication equipment. The IL-20 was monitored, as it flew through the Lithuanian Flight Information Region in international airspace, to ensure the safety of other airspace users as […]
As the presidential election in the United States draws closer, Putin’s Russia is paying close attention. Pro-Kremlin talking heads on Russian state television are discussing events in America with an air of both profound interest and deep understanding, treating electoral turmoil abroad as a real-life game of The Sims. In Moscow, President Trump’s potential re-election is still considered the sole beneficial outcome, and the expectations are high. Having experienced a windfall of geopolitical freebies from the Trump administration, analysts and military experts on Russian state television anticipate that if he is re-elected, Trump will finally pay out like a slot machine.

The owner of the ship that transported 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate to Beirut’s port in 2013 owed money to a bank accused of laundering funds for Hezbollah, an investigation by Der Spiegel and the Organised Crime and Reporting Project (OCCRP) has claimed. According to the report, the true owner of the Moldavan-flagged MV Rhosus, was Cypriot businessman Charalambos Manoli, not the Russian Igor Grechuskin, as previously thought. Manoli, who owned the vessel through a Panamanian-registered company with a Bulgarian postal address, was in debt to Lebanese-owned bank FBME at the time of the ship’s last voyage. The bank had loaned Manoli money to buy a new […]
Saturday on Fox News Channel’s “Watters’ World,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich predicted President Donald Trump would win reelection. Gingrich predicted it would “be a dramatically bigger victory than people currently expect.” WATTERS: So you have a column that’s causing a lot of commotion. You’re saying that the ticket between Harris and Biden might not last. Tell us why? GINGRICH: Well, just in the sense that they will collapse politically. First of all, let’s look at Harris. She is the most radical member of the Senate based on voting, which means she is to the left of Sanders and the left […]
Biden’s coronavirus policy would kill 10 million people. If that would mean his senile mind rests easy at night, Biden will sleep happily. What does that mean to a country poised to vote for a compromised globalist tool when we have a competent and ready populist occupying the Oval Office? America, take a deep breath and vote your true mind. Four more years of President Donald Trump equals prosperity that America hasn’t seen in decades. Vote for your own future like your life depends on it. Source link
The UAE-Israel announcement of closer ties between them on 13 August did not surprise me. It was the latest development in the growing Israeli relationship with Gulf States, including Qatar and Saudi Arabia, over the past three decades. The new accord is the beginning of a wave of normalisation between the Arab states and Israel. At least 15 Arab states maintain relations with Israel in one way or another. The UAE is the third Arab country after Egypt and Jordan to establish full diplomatic relations with the occupation state. The real culprit in all of this, though, is a section of […]
President Donald Trump released his second-term agenda on Monday, sharing it in an email to journalists; he is promising more of the same policies he pursued during his first four years as president. Trump wants to create more jobs, end Covid-19, defend police officers, end illegal immigration, and stop endless wars. The president also calls for passage of congressional term limits, school choice, and ending America’s economic reliance on China. Here is the full list: JOBS Create 10 Million New Jobs in 10 Months Create 1 Million New Small Businesses Cut Taxes to Boost Take-Home Pay and Keep Jobs in America […]
President Donald Trump released a 50-point second-term agenda on Sunday which vows to maintain American military might and “wipe out” terrorist groups overseas but also to stop the country’s involvement in “endless wars.” The move comes as Trump prepares to accept his party’s nomination at the Republican convention this week for four more years as commander-in-chief. Democratic Party leaders formally nominated former Vice President Joe Biden at their event last week. Typically, officials from both parties use the convention to adopt a new platform of policy priorities and goals to help guide their efforts for the next five years. However, Republican […]
After a night of rioting and looting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, one of the buildings to catch fire was a community church which displayed a marquee outside the building celebrating ‘Black Lives Matter’. Oh, the irony. Kenosha was hit by violent unrest after a video emerged showing a police officer firing several shots at close range into an African-American man’s back. Jacob Blake is currently in serious condition at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee as of early Monday morning. The fact that Blake had walked away from police and attempted to reach inside his vehicle before he was shot didn’t seem to matter […]
