WASHINGTON — The Pentagon’s upcoming recommendation for a future Navy is expected to call for a significant increase in the number of ships, with a fleet of over 530 hulls having been discussed, according to documents obtained by Defense News. Inputs to the forthcoming Future Navy Force Study reviewed by Defense News show the Navy moving towards a lighter force with many more ships but fewer aircraft carriers and large surface combatants. The fleet would instead be designed with more small surface combatants, unmanned ships and submarines and an expanded logistics force. Two groups commissioned by Secretary of Defense Mark Esper […]

FBI Director Christopher Wray downplayed election fraud to the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Thursday. Wray said the bureau had “not seen, historically, any kind of coordinated national voter fraud effort in a major election, whether it’s by mail or otherwise.” Chris Wray conceded the FBI had seen local election fraud “from time to time.” “Certainly to change a federal election outcome by mounting that kind of fraud at scale would be a major challenge for an adversary,” Wray said.

(Natural News) Describing the approach of Pfizer in getting its “warp speed” Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine to market before anyone else, Eric Topol, the editor-in-chief of Medscape, used the words “Olympic record” to suggest that the process is being rushed with little regard for sound science. As the company competes with other drug giants like AstraZeneca to unveil the world’s first plandemic jab, Pfizer, in partnership with BioNTech of Germany, is aiming to cross the vaccine trials finish line by as soon as Sept. 27. If successful, Pfizer will presumably launch its Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine not long afterwards, just in […]

TORONTO (Sputnik) – Premier Jason Kenney of Alberta, Canada’s largest oil-producing province, said during a press conference on Thursday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s proposal for a COVID-19 economic recovery was a “fantasy plan.” “It was a fantasy plan for a mythical country that only exists, apparently, in the minds of Ottawa liberals and likeminded Laurentian elites,” Kenney said. The Alberta Premier said Trudeau’s Throne Speech delivered on Wednesday did not reflect the harsh economic realities Canada is facing amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Judging from the scathing allegations made in a recent lawsuit reported by Fox Business, Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio applies the same domineering attitude to his charitable endeavors for which he has become known as the world’s largest hedge fund, which he still controls after several attempts at “letting go” didn’t quite work out. Last year, Dalio made headlines (and history, he alleged) by pledging to donate $100 million to the state of Connecticut – a conditional gift intended to help improve schools in some of Connecticut’s most desolate cities.

For several months last spring, New York City was the U.S. epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic: Hospitals were overwhelmed by patients, a makeshift morgue was erected in Manhattan, and residents feared to leave the safety of their homes. But after a months-long lockdown, New York gained the upper hand on the virus, and since then, the city’s number of COVID-19 cases has remained low, even as other states continue to grapple with troubling outbreaks. As a result, America’s largest city opened schools for in-person classes on Sept. 21—but the phased reopening has been anything but smooth. By the end of the […]

Gavin Newsom King Governor Gavin Newsom (D) on Wednesday signed an executive order banning the sale of new gasoline-powered cars and trucks by 2035. This is by far the most authoritarian ‘clean-car’ policy in the entire country. According to the executive order, people will still be allowed to own gasoline-powered vehicles as well as buy and sell them on the used-car market. The California governor was proud of his move to unilaterally eliminate competition for electric vehicles since they accounted for less than 8% of all new cars sold in California.

The Senior Editor Over the past 24 hours there has been a serious deterioration in the mental condition of Donald Trump. This is simply a fact. Over weeks now, we suspect either the onset of a condition or, as we had been warned by (real) sources, Trump may be being poisoned slowly. Russian intelligence believes this and told VT in Damascus. If poisoning can be proven, one set of actions needs to be taken, but Trump still needs to step aside. If he is not being poisoned, he has to be removed from office and Pence needs to be allowed to […]

Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano diverged from the consensus opinion of his colleagues on the Breonna Taylor decision, saying Thursday that he would have personally “indicted all three” police officers involved in her death. After a Kentucky grand jury decided not to charge any of the three Louisville Metro police officers with killing Taylor during a botched late-night raid on her apartment, Fox News hosts and pundits quickly defended the lack of charges, essentially calling it an unfortunate “tragedy” that couldn’t be helped. Napolitano, however, saw things just a bit differently. During an interview on The Daily Briefing, […]

Authored by Sven Henrich via NorthmanTrader.com, Markets have run into trouble in September and 3 major problems have emerged and unless these problems are solved, markets may have to contend with the distinct possibility of having topped for now. Now to the extent these problems get solved favorably major rally opportunities can also avail themselves in the weeks ahead, especially as markets are also reaching sizable oversold levels. Let me give you my most balanced but realistic view here, but as most of my readers know I’ve approached this market since the March lows with a view that all of this […]
A supposedly ‘feel-good’ story about an 89-year-old pizza delivery man receiving a huge tip to help pay his monthly bills backfired, with social media users more angered that the octogenarian had to work into old age to survive. Derlin Newey from Utah’s Weber County works 30 hours a week delivering pizzas for Papa John’s because he can’t afford his monthly bills on social security alone. The man’s story gained attention after Carlos Valdez, a TikToker who got to know him through his deliveries, raised $12 thousand from his followers, gave the money to Newey as a tip, and filmed the whole […]
(Natural News) Even though the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) plandemic would seem to be petering out, many Americans are still paying higher-than-normal prices for staple food items. C+R Research launched a study to check the pulse on prices throughout the country, determining that upwards of 85 percent of Americans are paying more now for grocery items like meat, eggs and milk than they did prior to March when the plandemic did not yet exist. The group surveyed 2,040 consumers about their shopping habits, budget and diet. They found that beef and eggs have seen the most significant price increases due to the […]

Russia will build its relations with Iran without taking into account the US threat to put sanctions, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday, Anadolu Agency reports. Speaking at a news conference in Moscow following the meeting with his Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif, Lavrov said the US demands to wrap up cooperation with Iran are “illegal”. “I hope other countries which cooperate with Iran will take a principled position and will be guided by their national interests,” Lavrov added. In turn, Zarif said the US threat to put unilateral sanctions against any country cooperating with Iran is an evidence of its defeat in […]
A fourth grader at Harvey, Louisiana’s Woodmere Elementary School was suspended six days after he moved a BB gun that his younger brother tripped over during virtual class. NOLA.com reports that the BB gun was “unloaded,” and that Ka Mauri Harrison grabbed it on September 11, 2020, and moved it because his younger brother had stumbled over it. Harrison put the BB gun “next to his chair,” and his teacher saw it on camera. He was then suspended “because he handled the BB gun during the virtual class,” which Jefferson Parish Public schools claimed was a violation of policy. A behavior report […]
WASHINGTON ― Boeing has assembled a team with General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems and Aerojet Rocketdyne to bid to build the Missile Defense Agency’s Next Generation Interceptor (NGI). The MDA is holding a competition instead to design a brand new interceptor for the GMD system. The company has an extensive history with the GMD system in place at Fort Greely, Alaska, and Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, having held the development and sustainment contract for years. That contract is set to expire in 2023 and MDA is weighing options to break up that contract to foster competition that promotes increased capability. “The […]
Authored by Jonathan Turley, We have been discussing the rising intolerance for conservative, libertarian, and Republican students and faculty on campuses across the country. Faculties rarely hire conservative or libertarian professors; journals rarely published studies from conservative authors. As the number of conservative faculty members diminish or disappear on faculties, schools appear to be carrying out the same bias in student admissions. The Harvard Crimson has finished its annual survey of the incoming class of students and found that the already small population of conservative and Republican students has been cut by as much as half. The Crimson survey covered over 76 percent of the […]
The government has argued that the WikiLeaks publisher isn’t at high risk of suicide should he be extradited to the US where he would face a trial on espionage charges related to his role in publishing classified documents pertaining to diplomacy, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Dr Sondra Crosby, a medical doctor from the US who treated Julian Assange whilst he was in the Ecuadorian Embassy with asylum, told the Old Bailey on Thursday afternoon that Mr Assange described symptoms of depression and PTSD when she saw him in October 2017.

Reporters gave White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany the chance to “clean up or clarify” President Trump’s shocking refusal to assure a “peaceful transfer of power” if he loses the election this fall. Her answers weren’t exactly reassuring. After belittling Playboy reporter Brian Karem who elicited the answer from Trump, McEnany said, “The president will accept the results of a free and fair election.” But when she was asked to explain what Trump will consider “free and fair” when he has complained that mail-in ballots should be discarded, she would only say it will be up to the president to decide […]

Stupid and evil are no way to go through life, but when it comes to the Constitution, far-left CNN has perfected this toxic mix. The evil side of CNNLOL has been well-documented, but wait till you get a look at the stupid side.

WASHINGTON ― Top Senate Foreign Relations Committee leaders Thursday invoked Israel’s qualitative military edge, signaling a complex path for a possible U.S. sale of F-35 joint strike fighters to the United Arab Emirates. At a hearing focused on Mideast issues, Chairman Jim Risch, R-Idaho, and ranking member Bob Menendez, D-N.J., highlighted their concerns to State Department officials over the possible deal. The two senators are key congressional gatekeepers on U.S. arms sales. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs David Hale, in response, said the State Department and Pentagon would vet any sale and “consult with the Israelis,” as well as Congress, […]

Today was one of those iconic days that defines the new centrally-planned paranormal, where as a result of such monetary abortions as negative rates, the ECB pays European banks to give them money. We are talking of course about TLTRO day, when the ECB lends to banks at rates as low as -1% to try to encourage them to lend to households which are about to be locked down again. And so, after €1.3 trillion was the taken-up last time three months ago, today Euro-zone banks took up just €174.5 billion, or $203 billion, in the latest TLTRO even as the […]
The poisoning incidents in Salisbury, England in 2018 with an unusual organophosphate compound designated A-234 gave rise to wide coverage of the story that a novel class of nerve agents named “Novichoks” had been discovered in the Soviet Union in the 1980s and that development of these agents as weapons had continued in Russia in violation of bilateral agreements with the US signed in 1989 and 1990. This story, originating with the dissident Russian chemist Vil Mirzayanov, has been accepted by many scientists and officials involved with chemical arms control. Russian officials however have denied that any studies under the name […]
Presidential niece Mary Trump has sued her uncle, his sister, and their late brother, accusing the trio of defrauding her of her rightful interest in the Trump empire – perhaps providing some insight into why she wrote her book. In a lawsuit filed on Thursday, the younger Trump declared her uncle and his siblings “siphoned millions of dollars from Mary’s interests” in the Trump real estate empire. “Rather than protect Mary’s interests, they designed and carried out a complex scheme to siphon funds away from her interests, conceal their grift, and deceive her about the true value of what she had […]

Israeli bulldozers razed Palestinian land near the village of Jalud, south of occupied Nablus, this morning as part of efforts to expand an illegal Israeli settlement.

He added that this was carried out a day after Israeli forces and settlers prevented the villagers from reclaiming their land and constructing an agricultural road. Earlier this year, a project for 204 […]
An USAF Northrop Grumman RQ-4B “Global Hawk” (reg. 04-2021 – callsign “FORTE10”) is descending to NAS Sigonella after a long surveillance mission over Black Sea off Crimea.

In fact, in recent weeks, the popular tracking site has been displaying many traces of military aircraft once blocked. (thanks to Sergio Scandura and John Karouzos) Source link
Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer held several weeks of negotiations with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows from late July to early August, but the talks failed amid partisan finger-pointing. The two sides were hundreds of billions of dollars apart on overall spending levels, with aid to state and local governments — a top Democratic priority — a huge stumbling block. Pelosi and Mnuchin have held several phone calls since then, and they hashed out a deal this week on a short-term spending package to keep the federal government open until Dec. 11, […]
