Peter Navarro, former White House director of trade and manufacturing policy and author of Taking Back Trump’s America: Why We Lost the White House and How We’ll Win It Back, told Breitbart News on Tuesday that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) subverted former President Donald Trump’s “drain the swamp” pursuit by delaying appointments for top officials at federal government agencies and departments.(Snip)He continued, “The worst thing he did, in my judgment, was to slow-walk all of the Trump appointees to the major departments and agencies, so if you don’t have those folks in the top of those agencies, you cannot drain the swamp

Detroit—The National Transportation Safety Board is recommending that all new vehicles in the U.S. be equipped with blood alcohol monitoring systems that can stop an intoxicated person from driving. The recommendation, if enacted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, could reduce the number of alcohol-related crashes, one of the biggest causes of highway deaths in the U.S.(Snip)The recommendation also calls for systems to monitor a driver’s behavior, making sure they’re alert. She said many cars now have cameras pointed at the driver, which have the potential to limit impaired driving. But Homendy says she also understands that perfecting the alcohol tests will take time.

The US Air Force will unveil its next-generation stealth bomber, the B-21 Raider, during the first week of December, lifting the tight cloak of secrecy that has surrounded the aircraft's development.
Northrop Grumman and the Air Force confirmed the timeline for unveiling the B-21 on Tuesday, saying that it will offer an 'exclusive view' of the aircraft at the company's facility in Palmdale, California. The bomber, which will be nuclear-capable, will cost about $639 million per plane, and the Pentagon plans to buy at least 100 of them to complement and eventually replace the aging B-2 Spirit. 'The B-21 is the most advanced military

On the northern shores of the Firth of Forth, royal blue waters lap against the weathered walls of Methil Docks. The quays were once a hub for coal exports but, since the late 1970s, haven’t dealt in the black stuff. Now, the town on Scotland’s east coast is flirting with another era in the energy industry–but it doesn’t appear to be going to plan. In what has been dubbed a “world-first project”, called H100, about 300 homes in Methil and neighbouring Buckhaven in Levenmouth were planned to be powered by “green hydrogen” gas from next year. Customers are offered free hydrogen-ready boilers and cookers under the scheme,

President Biden brushed off Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s latest effort to score political points by apparently sending a plane filled with asylum seekers to the president’s home state of Delaware. As local officials scrambled to prepare for the incoming immigrants on Tuesday, Biden refused to take the bait from reporters who shouted questions about the GOP stunt after an unrelated White House event. “He should come visit. We have a beautiful shoreline,” Biden said about DeSantis. The plane that that started the day in Texas is the same aircraft that DeSantis used to ferry immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts over the weekend. DeSantis refused to say whether the plane

Not everyone was impressed by Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard’s decision to transfer his ownership of the company to a climate change group. After Mr. Chouinard received glowing reviews for his philanthropy, led by a New York Times exclusive headlined “Patagonia Founder Gives Away the Company to Fight Climate Change,” those crunching the numbers pointed out that the move offers considerable tax advantages. “Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard has described his decision to give away the company as his last-ditch effort to do all he could to protect the planet, however, it’s also helping him skirt around $700 million of tax bills. Funny that!” tweeted Net Zero Watch.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said Tuesday that Morgan Stanley failed to protect the personal data of approximately 15 million users. Morgan Stanley agreed to pay a $35 million penalty to settle the charges related to the security breakdown, the SEC said.
The government said Morgan Stanley did not properly destroy devices containing people’s information, including by hiring a moving and storage company to decommission thousands of hard drives and servers with the information despite the moving company having no experience in data destruction. The SEC said its investigation found the moving company sold thousands of the servers and hard drives, some of which eventually ended up

A health care advocacy group has sued Pfizer in federal court, alleging the pharmaceutical giant violated the Civil Rights Act by excluding Whites and Asians from a racial equity fellowship. Do No Harm filed the lawsuit Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. It claims the New York-based company’s Breakthrough Fellowship Program defies the law’s color-blind definition of racial discrimination under Title VI because it accepts reimbursements from federal healthcare programs. The complaint cites Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, which extended the race neutrality requirement of the 1964 law to private entities that accept federal funds

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ plane he used to send 50 migrants to affluent Martha’s Vineyard is on the move again–heading for President Biden’s Rehoboth home in Delaware. DeSantis last week sparked a spectacular escalation in the ongoing immigration war between the Republican GOP’s in charge of the border states and Democrat officials in so-called ‘sanctuary cities’. It now appears that he is sending the Ultimate Air Shuttle to Georgetown, which will touch down at around 1.30pm. The plane had started its journey from Longview, in Texas, before heading to San Antonio, and then Crestview, in Florida. An hour after landing on the coast of Delaware, the plane

The head of mobility services for German electronics giant Robert Bosch GmbH has warned the electric vehicle industry of the reliance on battery cells and possible shortages in the future. Bloomberg reports that Markus Heyn, the head of mobility services for Bosch, has warned the electric vehicle industry over its overreliance on a single fuel source—battery cells—as Europe’s energy crisis worsens.
Heyn, who’s also a board member of the auto parts giant, told the Monday edition of the Stuttgarter Zeitung: “We’re currently seeing the consequences of the gas shortage for Germany and Europe because we prepared too few alternatives. In the automotive industry, we should use this occasion

Lawmakers want answers on why the federal government allegedly handed over to China expensive, advanced battery technology that cost taxpayers millions of dollars to develop.(Snip)“We are concerned that this is an overt dereliction of duty by DOE, and that this case may be emblematic of a department that routinely and flippantly permits government-funded technology to be transferred to China,” the senators wrote to Energy Department Inspector General Teri Donaldson. The senators said an NPR report about the government transferring vanadium redox battery technology prompted their request for an investigation. Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory took six years and $15 million in taxpayer funding to develop

Coon Rapids, sure. And going by other recent plots like this, September 2 is probably not the first time the radicalized Democrat was contacted someone from the bureau.
