WASHINGTON, Sept 11 (Reuters) – A decision by the Trump administration earlier this year to move the flag honoring missing war veterans from a prominent position atop the White House to a less visible spot on the South Lawn has angered some veterans and lawmakers, who see it as disrespectful and potentially illegal. Trump signed the act, which only repeated earlier law, then was the first to violate it: Lawmakers said the National POW/MIA Flag Act would ensure the banner is prominently displayed at the U.S. Capitol, the White House, the WWII Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam […]

The two facilities are located on the Paraguaná Peninsula, along the Venezuelan coast just south of Aruba. According to the president, the detained American is a member of the US Marine Corps who worked with the CIA in […]
(Natural News) The Black Lives Matter riots will continue as long as corporations keep pumping money into this destructive movement. The latest company to pledge money to the domestic terror network is Dr. Bronner’s, a family soap maker that has been around since 1858. These aren’t just one-time donations either. In 2020, Dr. Bronner’s has handed $100,000 to the Black Lives Matter network so far and has pledged to pay them another $1 million over the next decade. This is deeply concerning because Dr. Bronner’s is a company with a history of great products and good intentions. But now Dr. Bronner’s […]

The controversy surrounding Netflix’s Cuties has drawn the scrutiny of two U.S. senators who are demanding that the streaming service explain why it released the movie, which depicts underage girls performing raunchy dance moves and simulated sexual acts. In separate letters sent to Netflix on Friday, Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) said the company’s decision to release the French movie raises questions about child safety and exploitation. Sen. Lee said that his staff is reviewing the film and the relevant laws to determine whether the movie should be referred to the U.S. Attorney General for an investigation. “I understand […]
Authored by Caroline Breashers via The American Institute for Economic Research, Is it time for The Hate? It’s a question that we, like the protagonist of George Orwell’s dystopian 1984, may be asking ourselves now as we tune into a news program or click on our favorite website. For Orwell’s Winston Smith, the Two Minutes Hate occurs at 11:00 a.m. as coworkers assemble in front of a telescreen. Together they watch as Emmanuel Goldstein, designated enemy of the Party, demands freedom of speech and an end to war. And together they scream, kick their chairs, and hurl books at Goldstein’s image. The […]
Since being overthrown in 2001 after the invasion of US forces, the Taliban have refused to negotiate with the Afghan government, choosing instead to hold talks with representatives from Washington. A landmark peace deal signed between the militant organization and the United States on 29 February set the stage for intra-Afghan talks, although the staging of negotiations would rest on both sides complying with a prisoner exchange agreement. Sources in the Afghan presidential administration told Sputnik on Thursday that both parties had agreed to begin talks on Saturday. This was later confirmed by the Qatari Foreign Ministry and officials from the […]
At Middle School 839 in Brooklyn, teachers say there aren’t enough custodial staff on hand to carry out the city’s recommended pandemic cleaning plan. The electrostatic sprayer for disinfecting surfaces is missing parts and doesn’t work, they allege, while classroom windows only open three inches, making ventilation an issue. And the school only has about two weeks worth of face masks instead of the 30-day supply they were promised, the teachers claim. Because of this, MS 839 faculty—who are only permitted to work from home if they have specific underlying medical conditions—are urging parents to choose the “fully remote option” for […]

Republican Senator Josh Hawley (MO) on Friday called for Netflix to remove a new film titled “Cuties.” “Netflix is airing a film called Cuties depicting children being coached to engage in simulated sexual acts, for cameras both onscreen and off,” Hawley wrote. “Your decision to do so raises major questions of child safety and exploitation, including the possibility of copycat behavior and exploitation of child actors.” Netflix picked up “Cuties” out of Sundance from director and writer Maïmouna Doucouré after it won an award earlier this year, according to The Wrap.

WASHINGTON – The head of the U.S. Navy’s East Coast-based aviation enterprise said the service must demand to get aircraft carriers out of their maintenance availabilities on time, and that failure to do so throws fuel on the fire of critics who say the aircraft carrier is becoming irrelevant.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency is getting a new director, the Pentagon announced Friday. Defense Secretary Mark Esper announced that President Donald Trump nominated Air Force Maj. Gen. Robert J. Skinner to be director of Defense Information Systems Agency and commander of Joint Forces Headquarters-Department of Defense Information Network (JFHQ-DoDIN). Skinner is replacing Vice Admiral Nancy A. Norton. JFHQ-DoDIN, created in 2016, is a subordinate element to U.S. Cyber Command in charge of daily global defense of DoD networks. Previously, as a one-star, Skinner served as the deputy of JFHQ-DoDIN during the early days of its inception. Skinner […]
The post-Covid-19 world is a surrealistic nightmare. Businesses have been shut down arbitrarily without any evidence that these shutdowns save any lives. Tens of millions of Americans have become unemployed due to these shutdowns. There are already demands for mandatory covid-19 vaccination even before a vaccine is available. “Make vaccines free, don’t allow religious or personal objections, and create disincentives for those who refuse vaccines shown to be safe and effective.” This is an empty statement, as any vaccine available will neither be 100 percent safe nor 100 percent effective. Based on the initial study of the Russian vaccine in a very limited number of patients, it is […]

Less than two weeks after protesters in Montreal pulled down and defaced a statue of John Macdonald, Canada’s first prime minister, the founding father’s legacy took another hit: his severed bronze head was put on a postage stamp. James Bone, a federal government employee who curates stamp collections at Library and Archives Canada, reportedly had a sheet of stamps made featuring a photo of the head that was broken off Macdonald’s statue when the memorial was pulled down by demonstrators on Aug. 29 at Montreal’s Dominion Square. The sheet was made using a service in which Canada Post prints custom stamps […]
(Natural News) For daring to question the very soon release of his Operation Warp Speed Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines, Donald Trump has ordered Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to issue a public apology to all Americans for their “reckless anti-vaccine rhetoric.” After Biden and Harris expressed concerns about rushed Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines being mass-distributed to the American public before the Nov. 3 election, Trump called them both out for questioning science and putting the lives of Americans at stake. “It undermines science,” Trump stated about the skepticism expressed by the Democrat ticket. “They’ll say anything and it’s so dangerous for […]

Scores of people protested in Benghazi on Thursday over power cuts and living conditions, witnesses said, burning tyres and blocking some roads in an unusual public show of dissent in the eastern Libyan city, Reuters reports. Benghazi is the base of Khalifa Haftar and his Libyan National Army (LNA), which is fighting in a civil war against the internationally recognised Government of National Accord in Tripoli, in the country’s west. Electricity supply has deteriorated this year, leading to protests last month in Tripoli and adding to poor living standards amid a surge in cases of the novel coronavirus. The most immediate cause of the […]
Israeli media reported on Friday that the Kingdom of Bahrain will normalize relations with Israel, following the same path as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which announced a peace deal with Israel on August 13. President Donald Trump, who brokered both deals, was expected to make a formal announcement on Friday, while Bahrain’s Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad al-Khalifa is due in Washington, D.C., on Monday. Amichai Stein, a reporter for Israeli public broadcast network Kan, broke the news. Times of Israel reporter Raphael Ahren later confirmed it, citing “two officials familiar with the matter.” The Jerusalem Post also said it has a source confirming […]
WASHINGTON — In September 2016, when the U.S. Air Force’s new chief of staff, Gen. Dave Goldfein, took the stage at the service’s largest conference, he spoke of the heavy responsibility of leading the service. He said the portraits of former chiefs had eyes that followed him like “a Harry Potter movie,” and he recounted his own experience as a young F-16 pilot in combat for the first time during Desert Storm. Then he used the speech, like his predecessors had, to lay out his goals for the Air Force. He wanted to reinvigorate squadrons where pilots had become overloaded with […]
Those who have been following the record surge in US public debt (excluding the roughly $100 trillion in off-balance sheet obligations), which exploded by $3 trillion in the three months following the covid shutdowns and which hit an all time high $26.7 this week, will be all too aware that the US budget deficit this year – and every year after – will be staggering. Sure enough, in the latest just released deficit report, the Treasury announced that in August the US burned through another $200BN, which was a sharp increase from the $62.9 billion deficit in July when government receipts […]
Following the normalization of relations between Israel and Bahrain, Palestine’s ambassador to Manama was recalled to Ramallah on Friday. On Friday, just weeks after its Persian Gulf neighbor the United Arab Emirates extended recognition and full diplomatic relations to Israel, the Kingdom of Bahrain did the same. In response, the Palestinian Authority has ordered its diplomatic envoy to the island nation to return home. Similar to the UAE, Bahrain is a close US ally and hosts large US military bases; both were also encouraged to recognize Israel over the objections of other Arab states by the US, which brokered both deals.

A South Carolina man has filed a sensational, $10-million lawsuit against longtime Fox News personality Andrew Napolitano, aka The Judge, accusing the former New Jersey Superior Court jurist of “forcibly sodomiz[ing] and sexually assault[ing]” him when he was a 20-year-old criminal defendant more than three decades ago, and then using his judicial power to reduce the young man’s sentence as a way of ensuring his silence. More recently, the lawsuit alleges: “In a brazen attempt to intimidate Plaintiff and stop him from filing this lawsuit,” Napolitano, now 70, “reached out to law enforcement authorities and made completely false criminal accusations against […]

The sale of US ambassador’s official residence in Tel Aviv to Sheldon Adelson, a top funder of the Republican Party and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has raised ethical questions within Congress. The Jewish-American billionaire, known for his strong support for the state of Israel, has been a key figure in President Donald Trump’s controversial decision to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to occupied Jerusalem. Adelson’s purchase of the $80 million building – the most expensive residential real-estate transaction in Israeli history – was announced earlier this week by the embassy but details of the byer was not disclosed.

Netflix is facing one of the biggest controversies in its history over the tween-twerking drama Cuties. But you wouldn’t necessarily know that from watching CNN, which interviewed Netflix co-CEO Reed Hastings on Thursday and failed to ask any questions about the movie that depicts underage girls in a highly sexual way. CNN host Poppy Harlow lobbed a series of softball questions at Hastings during their Skype interview, including queries about corporate philanthropy and his new book, No Rules Rules: Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention. The ten-minute interview didn’t feature any questions about Cuties or the fallout from the movie, including […]

Authored by Pat Buchanan via Buchanan.org, If Donald Trump loses the election, history will attribute his defeat to a pandemic that killed 200,000 Americans during his reelection campaign, and a historic depression deliberately induced to put the economy in a coma as the nation suffered through that pandemic. But despite the worst hand dealt a sitting president since Herbert Hoover in 1932, Trump is by no means cooked. Since the conventions of the DNC and RNC, Trump has narrowed the gap in several battleground states that will decide the winner of the Electoral College. One Florida poll found that Trump had […]

Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed Thursday that President Donald Trump has “put Israel in danger” — even as more and more Arab and Muslim states make peace with the Jewish state. Biden was addressing a fundraiser held by J Street, a far-left, George Soros-backed organization that opposes the Israeli government. J Street styles itself as “pro-peace,” but opposes the Trump administration’s peace plan for the Middle East, calling it the “Trump Peace Sham.” In his remarks to J Street, Biden reportedly claimed that “Trump has put Israel in danger by tearing up the Iran nuclear deal,” and that he has “has […]
WASHINGTON ― Former Vice President Joe Biden said this week that, if elected president, he doesn’t foresee major reductions in the U.S. defense budget as the military refocuses its attention to potential threats from “near-peer” powers such as China and Russia. But internal pressure from the progressive wing of Biden’s party, combined with pandemic-related economic pressures, may ultimately add up to budget cuts in a Biden Pentagon. In an interview with Stars and Stripes on Thursday, Biden avoided any sweeping pronouncements about how defense spending might change in his administration. “I don’t think [budget cuts] are inevitable, but we need priorities […]
Apple is sliding today, dropping as much as 3% after JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee (who is overweight on AAPL with a $150 price target) published a note warning that based on recent surveys from Wave7 Research into sales trends across carriers, iPhone sales are “moderating substantially” ahead of the iPhone 12 launch, partly driven by moderation in iPhone 11 series, as consumers are increasingly looking to wait for the fall launch. And while sales of the low-end iPhone SE appear to be holding up better in recent months at certain carriers, JPM also sees a moderation in momentum for the lower-end […]

One of the defining feuds of our time might soon come to an end. As Fresh Prince of Bel-Air gears up for a reunion on HBO Max, Will Smith has shared a photo of himself smiling alongside the original Aunt Vivian, Janet Hubert.

For Australians of my generation, historian Geoffrey Blainey’s phrase the “tyranny of distance” was the defining descriptor of our place in the world, a place that seemed awfully far from everyone else. In September of 2020, with hundreds of millions of broadband-connected homes using global video-conferencing services like Zoom and with remote work the norm for white-collar workers everywhere, we might believe distance is now a non-issue – not just for Aussies but for anyone. In the COVID-19 era, geography seems irrelevant. But while the internet has removed location as a constraint on communication and leveled the playing field for building […]
