honor the 'greatest American value' as
in U.S. Army's most prominent move to
erase Confederate names from bases
Posted By: Imright, 6/3/2023 5:49:29 AM
Fort Bragg, one of the largest military installations in the world, was renamed as Fort Liberty on Friday, dropping its Confederate namesake once and for all. It is the largest Army base by population to be renamed so far with around 29,000 people serving on the North Carolina base. A ceremony took place in which some veterans said agreed was a small but important step in making the U.S. Army more welcoming to current and prospective black service members.The North Carolina base was originally known as Camp Bragg and named in 1918 for Gen. Braxton Bragg, a Confederate general from Warrenton, North Carolina,

She asked, “Tell me a little bit about the specifics of what he could try to do, what do you mean by that?”
Comey said, “I think about what four years of a retribution presidency might look like. He could order the investigation and prosecution of individuals who he sees as enemies. I’m sure I’m on the enemies list.

The New York Times faces criticism after publishing an article attempting to paint President Joe Biden as a young, vibrant man who never embarrasses himself or the country. Titled "Inside the Complicated Reality of Being America's Oldest President," reporters Peter Baker, Michael Shear, Katie Rogers, and Zolan Kanno-Youngs fawned over Biden's achievements, describing him as a "fit, sharp" 80-year-old who has "striking stamina."

The Florida representative discussed the Hunter and Joe Biden China bribery scandal. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: The FBI is protecting the Hunter Biden family, and it’s not okay… This corruption scheme has been going back to the time that Joe Biden was vice president. And the intimidation scheme that we’re seeing, I mean, it’s not unheard of.
A small plane that flew over a restricted area of Washington DC likely prompted the Pentagon to scramble an interceptor fighter jet Sunday afternoon.
The private Cessna jet from Elizabethton, Tennessee appeared unresponsive as it came close to both the US Capitol building and the White House at around 3.30pm, Federal Aviation Administration officials say.
The aircraft was on its way to Long Island, New York, but once it reached its destination, it turned around and headed back to Washington DC, flight paths show. A source familiar with the situation told Reuters it appeared to be on autopilot at the time.

‘Not Ruling Anything In, Not Ruling
Anything Out’ 10 replies
Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that he was “not ruling anything in, not ruling anything out” when questioned about whether he would consider a third-party presidential run.
Anchor Shannon Bream said, “You have not ruled it out and taken off the table, is a third-party run in the realm of possibilities?”
Manchin said, “You better have Plan B because if Plan A shows that we’re going to the far reaches of both sides, the far left and the far right, and that people don’t want to go to the far left and the far right, they want to be governed from the middle.
In about twelve weeks, 2024 Republican hopefuls will have the opportunity to square off in the first party-sanctioned debate of the 2024 cycle.
On Friday, the Republican National Committee rolled out its criteria for qualifying for the verbal bout, prompting some to gear up for the battle and others to scramble for ways to boost their standing so they can make it onto the debate stage. To qualify, hopefuls must routinely poll about 1% in either an early state poll and two national polls, or in at least three national polls. They will also be required to accrue donations from a minimum of 40,000 donors. Additionally, contenders must sign

A pregnant Milwaukee bus driver managed to rescue 37 children from a bus fire just seconds before the vehicle burst into flames.
Expecting mom Imunek Williams was two hours into her route to Milwaukee Academy of Science on Wednesday when smoke started filling the bus.
'I started to smell something funny at the stoplight, and I just thought it was normal smoke coming from another car,' Williams told WISN in an interview. 'But then as I started to drive more, the smell and the smoke started to get thicker.

An American farmer is speaking out after the Biden administration reportedly sent billions to U.S. adversaries. During an appearance on "Fox & Friends First," National Black Farmers Association President John Boyd Jr. ripped the Biden administration for dispensing money to China and Russia, arguing that the president has done nothing but deliver "empty promises" to the farming community. "It's a real slap in the face. Here you have American farmers losing their farms and right here in the United States with this. Last year alone, we lost over 10,000 farms in the United States and this administration had done nothing but give us broken promises

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky admitted that he is afraid of a possible return of Donald Trump to the White House in 2024, before begging for more American-made Patriot missile systems.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, President Volodymyr Zelensky admitted he has concerns about the possible re-election of Donald Trump next year, saying that he was unsure how exactly the Republican leader would have reacted had Russia invaded during his presidency.
The Ukrainian head-of-state also praised the response of the Biden administration, which has regularly handed over billions of dollars worth of weapons aid to the Eastern European nation since Moscow’s invasion began last year.
Chuck Todd, the host of NBC’s “Meet the Press” for the last nine years, announced on the show Sunday that he would step down from that role in the coming months.

If Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan decided to be a presidential candidate next year, she would be barred from the debates.
The GOP debate rules include a pledge to support the Republican 2024 presidential nominee and Ms. Noonan makes it clear, from the opening paragraph of her latest weekend column that she would not back a Trump candidacy.
Noonan declares in her lede paragraph that if "Trump Republicans" nominate the former president next year, "they will have ended the Republican Party.' That there be no mistaking her comment as mere figurative remark, she declares in the following paragraph:
Former FBI Director James Comey said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki” that he would not vote for the Republican nominee in 2024, even if it is someone other than former President Donald Trump.

California appears to be presenting the green movement with yet another reality check. Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom has set forth arguably the country's most ambitious state-level plan to transition from fossil fuel to renewable energy. However, when California's almost inevitable heat waves come in the summer and residents crank up their home air conditioners, officials turn on massive diesel-powered generators to make up for the state’s energy shortfall and to avoid rolling blackouts.
Asked how he felt about Donald Trump, Zelensky admitted that he was more comfortable with dealing with Biden and that the return of a Republican-led government could end up being difficult for his war effort.
“President Biden is the president during a full-scale war and he has been more helpful to us than President Trump,” Zelensky told the interviewer, qualifying the statement by noting that there “was no full-scale war” going on while Trump was in office.
A former White House doctor for presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama has raised concerns over Joe Biden's health and said it is 'malpractice' to allow him to seek re-election.
Texas congressman Ronny Jackson has claimed he is 'not fit mentally or physically' to lead the country and 'it's a bad situation for us'.
The now-Republican politician slammed White House officials for allowing Biden, 80, to run for a second term and said those close to him like his wife Jill should be stopping him.

Brief Covid mRNA Injection Update

You may have heard recently that most adults—80%—are not getting boosted with mRNA injections. The CDC is recommending that everyone get shot up, while admitting that duration of supposed “effectiveness” isn’t great:
Most US adults are declining COVID boosters as CDC warns of health risks: 'Relatively little protection'
Hospitalization risk exists as only 20% of US adults receive booster dose: ‘Uptake has been quite low’
The claim, as usual, is that these injections offer protection against the most severe outcomes.
Interestingly, the CDC conducted a self-experiment—unintentionally. I’m guessing they didn’t expect this outcome:
Taking time out of his busy schedule running Disney, Bob Iger flew to the Cannes film festival in support of Harrison Ford’s latest movie, even posting on social media snapshots of the aging action hero on the red carpet.
Lucasfilm Ltd. had just premiered the fifth installment in its Indiana Jones franchise and a lot is riding on the fedora-sporting, bullwhip-toting archeologist portrayed by the now 80-year-old Hollywood star. At nearly $300 million, Dial of Destiny is one of the most expensive films ever made and initial reviews suggest it could bomb big at the box office when it lands on June 30.
