Back on January 8, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that she had spoken with Gen. Mark Milley about limiting President Trump’s ability to launch nuclear weapons. Here’s how NPR reported it at the time: In a letter to her Democratic House colleagues on Friday, Pelosi said that she had spoken with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, about “available precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike.” Pelosi later told her caucus she had received assurances that there were safeguards in place, according to a source on the call.

Former prime minister Paul Keating has slammed the new nuclear submarines deal between the US, UK and Australia, arguing the US military can't beat a bunch of Taliban rebels in pick-up trucks.In a damning assessment of the agreement jointly announced this morning by Prime Minister Scott Morrison, US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Mr Keating said the deal represented a further 'dramatic loss of Australian sovereignty'. Mr Keating, the famously acid-tongued Labor PM from 1991-1996, released a statement that questioned the wisdom of Australia locking in its military equipment and defence forces with the US
On Wednesday, General Mark Milley confirmed reporting of his two conversations with the Chinese military where he committed treason by promising to notify them if then-President Donald Trump were ever to launch a military strike.Milley broke the chain of command in these calls as he took matters into his own hands, breaking the law and committing treason.In a shocking statement on Wednesday, Milley confirmed the reports of his conversations but claimed everything he did was legal and “within his authority in the lawful tradition of civilian control of the military and his oath to the Constitution.”
US President Joe Biden appeared to forget Scott Morrison's name while announcing America and Britain will help Australia build a nuclear-powered submarine fleet. The prime minister joined Mr Biden and British PM Boris Johnson in a historic three-way press conference to unveil the 'AUKUS' alliance to counter the worrying rise of China in the Pacific. But Mr Biden seemed lost recalling his Australian PM's name as he thanked the other two leaders who spoke before him.
France has been 'stabbed in the back' by the Australian nuclear submarine deal, a former top diplomatic official has said. 'The world is a jungle,' ex-ambassador to the US Gerard Araud tweeted on Thursday. 'France has just been reminded this bitter truth by the way the US and the UK have stabbed her in the back in Australia. C’est la vie.'
Australia has for years been planning to build a fleet of 12 diesel-powered submarines in Adelaide via French company Naval Group, with a deal made in 2016 valued at $90billion.
Ah, to be Twitter. Can control anything it publishes, profit from anything it wants — and not be held responsible for any of it.Such is a unanimous ruling by the Federal Election Commission, which found Twitter violated no law by censoring The Post’s factual report about the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop. Stating that, in its view, “Twitter is likely a press entity,” the FEC said that the social media network’s “activities fall within our press exemption.” That’s going to be news to Twitter and Facebook, which enjoy the benefits of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act
Then-President Donald Trump‘s last secretary of defense said Wednesday that he did not sign off on a call from Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to his Chinese counterpart days after the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the US Capitol.
Christopher Miller, who led the Pentagon on an acting basis between the 2020 presidential election and the inauguration of Joe Biden, told Fox News that Milley’s action “represents a disgraceful and unprecedented act of insubordination by the Nation’s top military officer”.The Jan. 8 phone conversation between Milley and People’s Liberation Army Gen. Li Zuocheng is detailed
President Biden’s got some new critics from… “big meat.”After Biden attacked the meat industry for alleged “pandemic profiteering,” the meat processors of the nation took to their trade group to bite back on Tuesday. In a letter to US Department of Agriculture Secretary Thomas Vilsack, the North American Meat Institute (NAMI) asserted that rising prices have more to do with the labor shortages plaguing the nation, saying that the administration “refuses to acknowledge” the issue.“The administration cannot ignore the fundamental principles of supply and demand. Americans are experiencing firsthand what the Secretary refuses to acknowledge, the effects of COVID and lack of labor are hurting consumers, and nothing proposed by
Harvard University, the home of people with high SAT scores, seems to think its elite students need some tutelage in table manners especially since everyone there must mask up even in the cafeteria/dining hall.Face masks are required within indoor settings on campus, the “safe-behavior” recommendations from Dr. Giang T. Nguyen, Harvard’s health services executive director, include the quick-sip rule and consume and cover, which could give a new meaning to dine and dash.Eating slowly, which is often good for digestion, seemingly means that students have to fiddle with their masks the entire time, pursuant to Harvard’s protocol.
Back in the 19th century, this was J.P. Morgan’s carriage house.Now the 25-foot-wide Upper East Side home, built around 1907, is coming back to market for $27 million.The stately digs at 118 E. 83rd St. feature a hidden pool underneath the kitchen’s oak floor, so think twice before you host any late-night tequila parties. The pool formerly housed the space used to hoist cars up for oil changes back when it was the Morgan’s carriage house, said the home’s seller, businessman Karan Trehan.“It was a giant pit,” Trehan said. “I expanded the pit and turned it into a pool, and put a skylight where the hoist was.”

President Joe Biden said he has 'great confidence' in Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley after the embattled military man admitted on Wednesday he spoke to his Chinese counterpart in coordination with defense officials - but the acting Pentagon chief at the time said he 'did not' authorize the calls. Milley was responding to a bombshell report that claims he phoned his counterpart there behind Trump's back over concerns the ex-president would take rogue action to stay in office.'I have great confidence in General Milley,' Biden said to reporters on Wednesday afternoon.
President Biden announced “new steps” in the fight against COVID-19 last week that essentially declared war on those who have not been vaccinated, vowing that he will “protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated coworkers.”“Many of us are frustrated with the nearly 80 million Americans who are still not vaccinated, even though the vaccine is safe, effective, and free,” Biden said from the White House, adding, “We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin.”But illegal immigrants are exempt from that frustration and continue to flow across the wide open southern border by the thousands, as seen in drone footage the Biden administration would rather you not see.

California voters overwhelmingly chose to keep Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom in office in a recall election on Tuesday.
Newsom was spared after a projection by the Associated Press showed that a majority of voters opted against recalling him.
With 61 percent of the estimated vote in, early returns showed that 5.3 million voters supported keeping Newsom in office, while 2.5 million Californians voted in favor of his removal.
The September 14 recall election was triggered after a petition to remove Newsom received more than 1.6 million verified signatures — a sign of Californians’ frustration
FBI Director Christopher Wray on Wednesday apologized to the U.S. gymnasts who were sexually abused by Larry Nassar and said the agency’s failure to properly investigate allegations against him “was beyond the pale.” “I am sorry that so many people let you down over and over again and I am especially sorry that there were people at the FBI who had their own chance to stop this monster back in 2015 and failed, and that is inexcusable, it never should have happened, and we are doing everything in our power to make sure it never happens again,” Mr. Wray said.(Snip)After reading the report, Mr. Wray said, “I was heartsick.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Despite warnings the race would be close, California Gov. Gavin Newsom decisively defeated efforts to kick him out of office, a win the Democrat cast as an endorsement of his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and his party’s liberal values.
Newsom cruised to victory in the recall election Tuesday, boosted by healthy turnout among an overwhelmingly Democratic electorate, ensuring the nation’s most populous state will remain a laboratory for progressive policies. With an estimated two-thirds of ballots counted, the “no” response to the question of whether to recall Newsom was ahead by a 30-point margin.
President Biden is standing by Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, despite accusations he committed treason during the final weeks of the Trump administration by reassuring his Chinese counterpart that then-President Trump would not attack Beijing. “I have great confidence in Gen. Milley,” Biden responded to reporters on Wednesday, moments after press secretary Jen Psaki appeared to excuse Milley’s alleged conduct as acceptable in the “context of this period and time in history” given that he did so while Trump was in his final days as commander in chief and amid the backdrop of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Josh Thompson, an English teacher at Blacksburg High School, posted a since-deleted TikTok video attacking the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program used in Montgomery County schools, Fox News said.(Snip)“The idea of just sitting quiet and being told stuff and taking things in in a passive stance, is not a thing that’s in many cultures,” Thompson claimed. “So if we’re positively enforcing these behaviors, we are by extension positively enforcing elements of white culture,” he claimed with a smug smile.

Not only did California Gov. Gavin Newsom survive the recall election, the vote margin was tilted so far in his favor by Wednesday morning that he’s likely to see the results as a mandate to issue another round of harsh pandemic rules. What is certain is that he will consider it a signal to press the Blue State agenda that’s made California a miserable experience for so many.Recalling a Democratic governor in a state where roughly twice as many Democrats are registered to vote as Republicans was always going to be a nearly impossible task. At one time, polls indicated Newsom could be ousted. It appeared a chance to climb
As I write this on Sunday afternoon, a Thursday Washington Post article headlined, “Postal Service workers not included in President Biden’s mandatory vaccination order, source says,” remains on the Post website uncorrected.
According to Post reporter Jacob Bogage, “postal workers would be strongly encouraged to comply with the mandate,” but they would not be forced to get vaccinated. To his humble credit, Bogage noted the paradox of Biden exempting “a massive chunk of the federal workforce … that interacts daily with an equally large swath of the public.” (Snip)The case of former Erie, Pennsylvania postal worker Richard Hopkins shows the folly of entrusting 66 million ballots to an entity openly hostile
The headline stories today are large, and so is the background as these issues surface. Context becomes increasingly important as each aspect is reviewed. As you look at the stories, remember this context (emphasized as a reminder):(snip)Factually, President Trump’s strategic approach toward foreign threats and foreign intervention (through the use of geopolitical economic pressure) was a major paradigm shift that removed the Defense Department from a primary role, and placed them back into a more appropriate ‘contingency’ role when it came to foreign policy and national security.
It was obvious from the outset of the Trump administration that the Pentagon did not like that position.
Former President Donald Trump predicted that the U.S. would be over even before the next presidential election—in his latest dig at President Joe Biden. 'And our country has gone really downhill in the last eight months, like nobody's ever seen before,' Trump told his former press secretary Sean Spicer, calling into Spicer's Newsmax show Tuesday night. 'And we're not going to have a country left in three years, I'll tell you that.' Trump continued to protest that the 2020 election was 'rigged' against him—mentioning 2022 and 2024 in the same breath. 'And you go to these elections coming up in '22 and '24—we're not going to have

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley confirmed on Wednesday he did speak to Chinese officials after a bombshell report claims he phoned his counterpart there over concerns then-President Trump would take rogue action to stay in office.
Multiple journalists posted the lengthy statement on Twitter, reportedly issued by Milley's spokesperson Colonel Dave Butler.
'The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs regularly communicates with Chiefs of Defense across the world, including with China and Russia,' the statement began.(Snip)The first phone call reportedly took place days before the November election, and the second happened shortly after the Capitol riot.

‘We May Have Lost the Battle,
but We Are Going to Win the War’ 19 replies
Conservative talk radio host Larry Elder told supporters to be “gracious in defeat” as he conceded the results of the recall election on Tuesday night, which Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) won in a landslide, crushing an effort to unseat him. (Video) As of Wednesday morning, the “no” vote led the “yes” vote by nearly two-to-one (64.2.% to 35.8%), a stunning result given that several polls of likely California voters in late July showed Newsom within the margin of error or even losing.
