President Biden is expected to travel to Michigan on Tuesday to deliver remarks on Congress’ recent passage of its $280 billion technology spending bill aimed at boosting domestic semiconductor manufacturing and spurring scientific research in a key make-or-break legislative win for the administration. Mr. Biden plans to tout the positive impact that the $52 billion payout for semiconductor manufacturers included in the bill will have on economic and national security, the White House said on Saturday in a statement announcing the trip. The House gave final passage to the bill in a 243-187 vote on Thursday after the Senate passed the measure 64-33 earlier

Oregon’s Portland Public Schools is defending its decision to teach kindergarteners that boys can have vulvas and girls can have penises in a PowerPoint presentation on transgenderism shared by conservatives on social media. The school district is using a grade-by-grade curriculum to teach children starting at age 5 about transgenderism, sexual orientation and the role of “white colonizers” in marginalizing LGBTQ+ people, according to presentation slides that conservative Manhattan Institute fellow Christopher Rufo posted on Twitter last week.(Snip)“We make certain that our curriculum is LGBTQ+ inclusive for students who identify as transgender, gender non-conforming, gender-queer, and queer to create a safe and inclusive environment
A 160-foot blade detached from a wind turbine Sunday in Gloucester, Massachusetts, prompting road closures around the structure in the Blackburn Industrial Park. Multiple outlets reported that there was no cause given for the blade being detached, nor was there any damage to property outside of the blade itself, which appeared to snap into two pieces. Applied Materials, the owner and operator of the 492-foot turbine, said it couldn’t find any structural concerns with the turbine or its two remaining blades. A spokesperson for the company told National Wind Watch, a nonprofit that promotes the benefits of wind power, that a “root-cause analysis is underway

funds for ex ‘body man’ raises ethics questions 8 replies
Ethics experts are questioning whether the head of congressional Democrats’ campaign arm, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, used his House and campaign cash for “personal services” with the hiring of an aide—who told The Post his role was to serve as the lawmaker’s “body man.” Maloney (D-NY) — who in 2020 became chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee—hired lifelong Floridian Harold Leath, for whom Maloney’s campaign forked over the money for the move north, in 2014, records show. The “unusual” and “strange” description of Leath’s role and his whereabouts raised numerous “red flags,” that may be worth a probe, political spending experts and federal ethics watchdogs told The Post.
Scott Nadeau worried something like this could happen. Two Fridays ago, when his 24-year-old son Jack said he planned to meet friends at the Gay 90s nightclub, Nadeau cautioned him to be vigilant. The retired suburban police chief had seen reports of violence in downtown Minneapolis, and he feared the city's dwindling police staffing levels are exacerbating lawlessness. The next day, Nadeau sat in the emergency room with Jack, who had a fractured skull.(Snip)Some downtown business owners say they worry the brazenness of the crime threatens a much-needed return for the downtown economy, still recovering from pandemic depression.
A couple with ties to a firm that’s been awarded hundreds of millions in Medicaid transportation contracts over the years has driven more than $300,000 combined into the campaign coffers of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and current Gov. Kathy Hochul, records reviewed by The Post reveal. Critics say the donations are a textbook case of Albany’s pay-to-play culture that allows bidders and contractors to give massive campaign contributions to the governor whose agencies oversee them. By comparison, New York City law limits donations from bidders and contractors to the mayor and have business Big Apple agencies to $400. The firm, Medical Answering Services, founded by president Russ Maxwell
Former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has stated he is open to Italy being led by populist firebrand Giorgia Meloni, known for her fierce anti-communist rhetoric and socially conservative stances on abortion and gay marriage.(Snip)Last year, for example, Meloni spoke out about the LGBT bill known as the Zan bill, claiming that leftists use LGBT people as “human shields” to push an agenda including the teaching of gender ideology to children and the criminalisation of conservative opinions. The 44-year-old is also opposed to abortion in practice, does not support same-sex marriage, and opposes mass immigration. Meloni and the FdI are also perhaps the most outspokenly
The Biden administration’s attempt to track down catch-and-release illegal immigrants and serve them with court summonses turned into a “complete waste of time,” according to officers who say they were pulled off higher priority cases to chase down “ghosts.” Out of a universe of more than 30,000 potential targets, officers were able to locate and serve only about 600, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement sources. That means tens of thousands of illegal border crossers remain at large in the country without an official Notice to Appear for their immigration proceedings—and there are no good prospects for tracking them down.
The federal government’s refusal to recognize the costs of legal migration is a “boomer approach” to immigration policy, said Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL). The immigration problem “is not just the illegal immigration,” Gaetz told Breitbart News: It’s the legal immigration where you now have a system where we tell these young people go get your STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Math] degree, go learn how to code [software], and then they do that—they accrue massive amounts of college debt—and then we bring in somebody from India who is able to do the job for $50,000 or $60,000 bucks a year on some work visa.
Joe Biden has been re-infected with COVID after taking an anti-viral drug that leaves patients running a 40 per cent risk of flare-up of the virus shortly afterwards. Taking Paxlovid leaves COVID sufferers in danger of testing positive for the virus again very quickly after clearing their initial infection. When Paxlovid came to market in December 2021, studies from Pfizer indicated that only 1-2 percent of patients who took the drug tested positive for Covid again shortly after finishing their dosage.(Snip)While Dr. David Boulware of the University of Minnesota told the magazine that he wants Pfizer to release more in depth study data.
Science leaders are demanding a crackdown on medical research fraudsters, warning that the worst offenders pose a threat to public health and should be handed prison sentences. And they have also called for academic journals that publish dodgy data to be slapped with hefty fines if they fail to act swiftly when fakes are exposed.
The demands come after bombshell allegations that a pivotal study on the cause of Alzheimer’s disease contained manipulated results, potentially leading other scientists down a blind alley, hindering the development of effective treatments and giving false hope to patients and their families.(Snip)In one of the most egregious examples, allegedly falsified data led to patients

Nashville, Tenn.—Beginning August first, groceries will go tax free in Tennessee—with a few exceptions. A grocery tax suspension, proposed by Governor Bill Lee in March in response to nationwide inflation, will take effect Aug. 1, and remain in effect for 30 days. The suspension applies to all food and food ingredients, and only excludes alcohol, tobacco, candy, dietary supplements and prepared food. “I think it’s fantastic,” Kroger shopper Nancy Andrews said Friday. “Any relief you can give to families and single people is great at this point.”(Snip)“I feel a difference in all the bills,” shopper Domonique Alexander said.

for a rude wake-up call over Hunter Biden investigation 42 replies
FBI Director Christopher Wray always seems a little too pleased with himself. But on Thursday the smirk may be wiped off his pretty face when Republican members of the House oversight committee start grilling him on the mounting evidence that something is very rotten inside the agency Wray runs. Top of the list is the curious question of why the FBI apparently did nothing with Hunter Biden’s laptop, which was handed to two agents on Dec. 9, 2019, by John Paul Mac Isaac, the alarmed owner of the computer repair shop near the Biden family homes in Greenville, Del., where Hunter had dropped off his MacBook eight months earlier.

Bruce Springsteen has been a wealthy man for a very long time. In 1973 he released his second album, The Wild, The Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle which featured the classic song, Rosalita. Toward the end of the song’s tale about budding romance and the reluctance of a young woman’s father to accept her suitor, Springsteen explains, “And the record company, Rosie, just gave me a big advance!” We bet they did Bruce.
Just two years later, Springsteen burst into superstardom in 1975 with his blockbuster album Born to Run, which resulted in him being one of the first entertainers ever to be featured on

One of MSNBC’s resident bigots has alleged that the only reason Republicans like Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker is because he does “what he’s told” and that’s what Republicans want “from their negroes.”
The bigot, Elie Mystal, said this on Saturday while explaining to MSNBC host Tiffany Cross, also a bigot, why Walker is performing so well in the polls.
“It’s going to be a close election in Georgia because Walker has the backing of the Republicans. Now you ask why are Republicans backing this man who’s so clearly unintelligent, who so clearly doesn’t have independent thoughts. But that’s actually the reason. Walker’s gonna do what he’s told,
The story about the Democrat who flipped off the Republican side during the Congressional Baseball Game keeps evolving.Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) previously released a statement on Friday, after she was criticized for flipping off the GOP dugout.

"I don't think I can keep traveling with the same rhythm I used to at my age and with the limitation of this knee," Pope Francis said to journalists during his return from Canada. Pope Francis is reflecting on his position as head of the Catholic Church.

Three suspects, accused of beating 17-year-old Ethan Liming of Akron, Ohio to death, have avoided murder charges in a grand jury indictment.
As Breitbart News has reported, Liming was beaten to death on June 2 in a parking lot at the I Promise School in Akron, founded by NBA player LeBron James.
Subsequently, 20-year-old Deshawn Stafford Jr., 19-year-old Tyler Stafford, and 21-year-old Donovon Jones were arrested in Liming’s death and initially charged with murder to which all pleaded not guilty.

Joe Manchin went to bat for his reconciliation bill Sunday by doing something called the 'full Ginsburg' – meaning he went on all five major networks' morning shows over the weekend.
The moderate Democratic senator from West Virginia appeared on CNN's State of the Union, Fox News Sunday, ABC's This Week program, CBS News' Face the Nation and NBC's Meet the Press. He is only the 31st major newsmaker to complete this feat.

President Biden tested positive for COVID-19 in a "rebound" case on Saturday, according to the White House.
"As described last week, acknowledging the potential for so-called ‘rebound’ COVID positivity observed in a small percentage of patients treated with PAXLOVID the President increased his testing cadence, both to protect people around him and to assure early detection of any return of viral replication," White House Doctor Dr. Kevin O'Connor said.

In June of this year, Paul Pelosi purchased up to $5 million worth of stock options in Nvidia. Not because he knew in advance that a massive government industrial welfare "stimulus" was in the works, or that the vote would be approved in both the House and the Senate, but merely because he is America's most savvy investor.
