I will be overturning this ridiculous order immediately! https://t.co/sFIX5Y667v — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 1, 2020 “I will be overturning this ridiculous order immediately!” Trump tweeted Thursday evening. A Navy spokesperson on Thursday night referred questions to the White House. Chief Pentagon spokesperson Jonathan Hoffman did not immediately return a request for comment. A White House spokesperson declined to comment. Ash Carter, who was defense secretary under former President Barack Obama, in 2015 opened all combat specialties to women. However, no women have yet qualified to become a Navy SEAL. If Trump follows through, it would mark the president’s latest […]

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Beat,” commentator Roland Martin accused President Donald Trump and the Republican Party of “purposely and openly courting white supremacists.” Martin said, “The question is, is Donald Trump and the Republican Party purposely and openly courting white supremacists? The answer is yes. There’s only one party where you have had multiple Republicans asked as county chairs to step down. That’s in Texas because of racist statements and memes. Who has one of the biggest racists in Congress? Steve King, a Republican from Iowa. You have Marjorie Greene, a racist coming from Georgia, likely going to get elected. […]

Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog, Anyone claiming they can project the trajectory of the U.S. and global economy is deluding themselves. Normalcy depends entirely on everyday life being predictable. To be predictable, life must be stable, which means that there is a high level of certainty in every aspect of life. The world has entered an era of profound uncertainty, an uncertainty that will only increase as self-reinforcing feedbacks strengthen disrupting dynamics and perverse incentives drive unintended consequences. It may be more accurate to say that we’ve entered the Empire of Uncertainty, an empire of ambiguous borders and treacherous topology. […]

NBC News misrepresented background facts in a Homeland Security document about a shooting during the Kenosha, Wisconsin riots as ‘talking points’ intended to ‘sympathize’ with alleged shooter Kyle Rittenhouse, DHS officials said. The network reported on Thursday that federal officials were “directed to make public comments sympathetic” to Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who was “charged with fatally shooting two protesters” in Kenosha at the end of August. The document “suggests that they note that he ‘took his rifle to the scene of the rioting to help defend small business owners’,” NBC reported. Law enforcement officials “were directed to make public comments sympathetic […]
(Natural News) When the big tech behemoths all announced after the 2016 election they were going to begin ‘fact-checking’ posts because of all that ‘Russian misinformation’ that led to Donald Trump winning the White House, we knew what they meant. The platforms were not interested in ‘fact-checking’ anything because left-wing media types never are. Rather, conservatives believed Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google and the other ‘biggies’ were really aimed at censoring content they didn’t like or otherwise approve of. And we were right. Just like the commies they are, they went into ‘Stalin’ mode and have begun deep-sixing any and all information […]

Saudi Arabia’s economic woes have come to light after the kingdom released its latest budget which showed that the deficit will widen to 12 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2020.

Authored by Jeff Deist via The Mises Institute, When Dr. Ron Paul suffered a health scare during his live Liberty Report show last Friday, I was perhaps less worried than most. His remarkable vitality, vigor, and energy are well known to those around him, along with his penchant for exercise, clean living, and light eating. Having known him thirty years, I simply had no recollection of him ever being sick or out of commission. This is a man who had never missed a day of work or an event, at least in my memory.

US drugmaker Moderna revealed Wednesday that it won’t seek an emergency use authorization (EUA) for its COVID-19 vaccine before November 25, more than three weeks after the US election. “November 25 is the time we will have enough safety data to be able to put into an EUA file that we would send to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) – assuming that the safety data is good, i.e. a vaccine is deemed to be safe,” Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel said in a statement to the Financial Times.

HOUSTON – Texas Democrats are planning to take Gov.

Four years ago, when the Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX announced a new product called the “perpetual bitcoin leveraged swap,” few traders in nascent digital-asset markets could have anticipated what a major impact the obscure roll-out would have on the industry.

Now, digital-asset analysts and investors are scrambling to assess the market damage after U.S. authorities on Thursday brought a series […]

A woman in Istanbul has died after falling from the eighth floor of a building, leading many to suspect that her death was another of an increasing number of femicides in Turkey. Seyda Yilmaz was found dead in front of the 20-storey residential building in Istanbul’s Atasehir district on 17 September; her body was stripped of her clothing.

Armenian President Armen Sarkissian said on Wednesday that the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of the Caucasus mountains could become “another Syria” if the international community does not take action. “Imagine Caucasus becoming another Syria?” Sarkissian said in a CNBC interview. “The international community has to realize that if you don’t interfere now, then Caucasus will become another huge problem.” Sarkissian criticized Turkey’s active support for Azerbaijan in the conflict, noting that the Turks “have problems 360 degrees around them” in the Mediterranean, Greece, Libya, and Iraq. “They are creating problems everywhere,” he said.

Ice loss from Greenland’s ice sheet will cause sea levels to increase more during the 21st century than any ice loss during any 100-year period in the last 12,000 years, according to a new study published Wednesday in the journal Nature.

Simulations of future mass loss from the southwestern Greenland ice sheet predict that the mass lost in the […]

Kuwaiti opposition figures proposed electoral reforms and a pardon for dissidents in recent meetings with the prince who has since become the new emir, they said, seeking to improve stormy ties with the government that have sometimes flared into unrest, Reuters reported. The opposition figures, both liberals and Islamists, presented the proposals to Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Sabah last month while he was still crown prince and before the death on Tuesday of late ruler Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad, they said. The Kuwaiti government did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Sheikh Nawaf was sworn in as emir at parliament on Wednesday. […]
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told Breitbart News on Wednesday that the Senate will confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court before the end of October. Cruz spoke to Breitbart News as the former Supreme Court litigator released his book, One Vote Away: How a Single Supreme Court Seat Can Change History, which details his insight into the Supreme Court and how many of Americans’ most cherished freedoms hang in the balance of the nation’s highest court. He further told Breitbart News that the book would give a “behind the curtain” view of the Supreme Court. He added that the book […]
WASHINGTON — The U.S. State Department cleared $83.5 billion in Foreign Military Sales cases in fiscal 2020, the highest annual total of FMS notifications since the start of the Trump administration. The dollar total — spread over 68 FMS cases notified to Congress — represent an increase of roughly $15 billion over FY19 figures. However, that dollar figure comes with a number of caveats that will lower the overall dollar figure of actual sales when negotiations are complete. FMS notification figures represent potential arms sales that the State Department internally cleared, then passed to Congress through the Defense Security Cooperation Agency. […]
A young world class athlete has had his career and future dreams crushed for a mere one word tweet amid a seemingly benign social media exchange with a journalist. Nineteen-year old American professional cyclist Quinn Simmons was suspended from his team Thursday for his tweet showing mere indirect support to President Trump after a journalist issued an ultimatum. Dutch journalist José Been had initially expressed to her American followers that “this horrible presidency ends for you,” after which she added “if you follow me and support Trump, you can go.” That’s when Simmons responded with a simple, “Bye” and included a hand emoji waving. Immediately others jumped in, with […]
Boeing’s decades-long ties to Washington state could soon be numbered. In a massive blow to Seattle, labor unions and the liberal run state of Washington, Boeing is moving its 787 Dreamliner production to South Carolina in an effort to cut costs, Bloomberg revealed on Thursday. It is a move that is raising questions about how long Boeing may remain at its massive plant in Everett, where it has produced planes since the 1960s. Dreamliner production is being consolidated as demand for Boeing’s planes has dropped amidst the 737 MAX controversy and the ongoing pandemic which has decimated the travel industry. The […]
Thursday, October 01, 2020 *AVAILABLE FROM 8 AM ET 1. Debate Rules Will Change After Acrimonious First Round After a U.S. presidential debate that abandoned all decorous norms seen in previous election cycles and amounted to a series of belligerent interruptions decried by many on both sides of the aisle as useless and disturbing, the Commission on Presidential Debates says it will announce rule changes before the next matchup on Oct. 15. President Donald Trump’s campaign objected to any change. Meanwhile, with early voting already begun, Trump used the debate to urge supporters to go to polling places and “watch very carefully,” […]
A Western weapons-industry funded think tank claims Russia’s military capability is at its strongest since the Cold War period, and its forces are better equipped and more professional after ten years of investment and reform. The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), says Russia’s modernization and recent combat experience means it now has a highly capable army. It is worth noting that the organisation is funded by the likes of Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, Raytheon and Boeing: All of whom have a vested business interest in promoting the idea of threats to Western military hegemony. “Today, Russia fields capable conventional armed forces, […]
(Natural News) In the rush to create a vaccine for covid-19, scientists will need at least 500,000 dead sharks over the next six months. The sharks will be slaughtered to provide vaccine makers with an oil called squalene. The squalene is a byproduct produced in the liver of sharks. Smaller amounts of squalene can be found in olive oil, palm oil, wheat-germ oil, amaranth oil and rice bran oil, but these aren’t reliable sources for wide scale vaccine production. In vaccine science, squalene is combined with surfactant chemicals to create an adjuvant which is used to augment an immune response in […]

After President Trump stated during Tuesday night’s debate that the right-wing political activist group Proud Boys must “stand back and stand by”, the public, including a number of Trump’s Republican allies, have urged the president to clarify his stance and unequivocally denounce white supremacy. Fox News White House correspondent John Roberts has taken aim at some of his Twitter followers for “hammering” him over asking White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany for a “definitive and declarative statement” that POTUS condemns white supremacy and groups who espouse this ideology. “Why didn’t he say, ‘I don’t know who they are.

At least three Houthi militias were killed Thursday in clashes with army troops in Western Yemen, according to the Yemeni military, Anadolu Agency reports. The Iranian-backed Houthis attacked army positions in Al Hudaydah province, the press office of the al-Amalika Brigade said in a statement. Yemeni forces responded and neutralised three militia members, including a field commander. The Houthis had not yet issued a statement about the attack. Yemen has remained wracked by violence since 2014, when the Iran-aligned Houthi group overran much of the country, including the capital, Sana’a. The conflict escalated the following year when Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies […]
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview on Wednesday that former Vice President Joe Biden would pack the Supreme Court, end the Senate filibuster, and make Puerto Rico and Washington, DC, states to “entrench” Democrat power.

President Donald Trump also attacked Biden for dodging Wallace’s question. Cruz charged that even though Biden avoided the question of packing the court and ending the filibuster, he expects […]
The Air Force last month conducted the first flight of an MQ-9A Reaper that had been configured to carry eight AGM-114 Hellfire missiles — twice the number the drone normally carries. The 556th Test and Evaluation Squadron at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada conducted the flight test on Sept. 10, the Air Force said in a Wednesday release. A software upgrade expected to be rolled out to MQ-9s by the end of the calendar year made the expanded Hellfire capacity possible, the Air Force said. In the past, Reapers could carry no more than four Hellfires, two on the outboard […]
A truly bizarre and wild diplomatic kerfuffle is playing out between the Vatican and the Trump administration in the lead-up to the November US election, and of course taking center stage is the growing White House targeting of China. “The Vatican said on Wednesday it had denied a request from Mike Pompeo for an audience with Pope Francis, and accused the Secretary of State of trying to drag the Catholic Church into the U.S. presidential election by denouncing its relations with China,” Reuters reports on Thursday.

According to a recent report by a London-based think tank, the Russian Armed Forces are at their strongest and most capable since the dissolution of the Soviet Union nearly 30 years ago, despite being considerably smaller. When the Cold War ended and the Soviet Union dissolved itself in the final days of 1991, the Russian Federation emerged as just one of 15 new republics that inherited many of the Red Army’s weapons of war. As the economic crisis in Russia deepened through the decade, the armed forces waned in power as well. Today, however, one UK think tank warns that more […]
