simulated incoming missiles

America has begun preparing for a major attack on the nation's capital - by simulating incoming missiles and hijacked airplanes. US defense contractor Northrop Grumman announced the successful test of its Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) this month. (Photo) The Beltway-area around Washington DC, known by defense personnel as the 'National Capital Region,' was successfully defended against 'simulated cruise missiles and 'compromised aircraft,' the company said. The tests come amid rising tensions worldwide, with the US amassing a war machine in the MidEast in a clear message to Iran to stay on the sidelines as Israel prepares to launch a ground invasion into Gaza.

If they couldn't handle a few protesters on Jan 6th, I have little faith they could handle a real attack.

I thought Trump supporters were the biggest threat. The same supporters who walked into the Capitol unarmed, strolled through the building, and walked out without causing any damage all while being watched by the Capitol Police. As far as I know, Trump supporters don't have any missiles. Only those funded by the demosluts get to have missiles.

I get the jokes. But the possibility of a major attack on US soil is a real and it’s not going to be humorous no matter where it is. Biden is very close to plunging us into WW III. We’ve drained our arms and given them to Ukraine and our enemies know that. We are not in a good place.

Washington— Members of far-right extremist groups. Former police officers. An Olympic gold medalist swimmer. And active duty U.S. Marines. They are among the hundreds of people who have been convicted in the massive prosecution of the Jan 6, 2021, riot in the three years since the stunned nation watched the U.S. Capitol attack unfold on live TV. Washington’s federal courthouse remains flooded with trials, guilty plea hearings and sentencings stemming from what has become the largest criminal investigation in American history. And the hunt for suspects is far from over.

Presidential candidate Nikki Haley attempted to clean up her flubbed Civil War comments by mentioning she had 'black friends growing up' following backlash. The 2024 hopeful faced a barrage of criticism and hate comments last month for answering a question at a New Hampshire town hall on what the Civil War was about without once mentioning slavery. She has since walked back her response, saying 'of course' the war was about slavery and suggested that the question was poised by a Democrat 'plant' trying to get the media to attack her.

Trump took the stage at a campaign event in Sioux City, Iowa, Friday night and responded to Biden’s event, which took place earlier in the day near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. In the president’s speech, Biden focused on the January 6 Capitol riot, celebrating the prosecution of hundreds of his chief political rival’s supporters while calling Trump a “loser.”

Three years after a mob stormed the Capitol, a third of Republican voters now believe FBI operatives stoked the January 6 attack, according to remarkable new polling. A quarter of U.S. adults believe that statement is 'definitely' or 'probably' true, according to a new Washington Post / University of Maryland poll. The data come as President Joe Biden prepares to hold his first campaign event of the year stressing the democracy issue near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, in a potential rematch where former President Donald Trump has repeatedly called attention to jailed rioters and said he will pardon a 'large portion' of them.

A lawyer just registered as a foreign agent for work he conducted eight years ago for Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, when Hunter Biden was on the board. The disclosure raises questions about whether Hunter Biden could face FARA charges in the future that could complicate his father President Joe Biden's re-election run. The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) requires law firms and lobbyists to disclose work representing the interests of foreign clients. Attorney John Buretta said he worked on behalf of former Burisma head Mykola Zlochevsky in 2016, during the time the CEO was under investigation by Ukraine and also the U.S. for corruption.

Many feel her actions aren’t about protecting “democracy” but about pure, unadulterated power.

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday met with Sean O’Brien, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, as he looks to gain votes from union workers who have previously supported Democrats, including President Joe Biden. O’Brien met with the former president in a private meeting to discuss “serious issues” to improve the lives of workers in the country as Trump continues his 2024 presidential election campaign. The move to meet with Trump stands in contrast to unions’ typical relationship to politics, heavily favoring Democrats, which Biden’s has sought to tap into, declaring the night before the 2020 election that he would be “the most pro-union president you’ve ever seen.”

A majority of that money, however, came from one business that began renting office space from Trump Tower in 2008 and concluded

Redden’s attorney had asked Holthus to grant parole for the three-time felon, but she sentenced him to jail due to his violent past and repeated arrests.

Harvard may assume the forced resignation of its president, Claudine Gay, has finally ended its month-long scandal over her tenure.

Gay stepped down, remember, amid serious allegations of serial plagiarism --without refuting the charges. She proved either unable or unwilling to discipline those on her campus who were defiantly antisemitic in speech and action.

 But Gay's removal is not the end of Harvard's dilemma. Rather, it is the beginning.

 In the respective press releases from both Gay and the Harvard Corporation, racial animus was cited as a reason for her removal.

 Gay did not even refer to her failure to stop antisemitism on her campus or her own record of blatant plagiarism.

The justices will review a decision by the Colorado Supreme Court that said Trump could be barred from the Republican primary ballot in that state, but the U.S. Supreme Court ruling is likely to have national repercussions, potentially setting guidelines that would determine how every other state would handle the issue.

The FBI is facing fresh calls to release hundreds of 'missing' pieces of evidence raided from Jeffrey Epstein's $51 million New York townhouse following the release of a new list of his associates. Among the items said to be missing are tapes, CDs, passports and pictures all located inside a safe within the property during a siege on the home in July 2019, shortly after Epstein was arrested. It comes as speculation continues to swirl that Epstein was working as an agent for Israeli intelligence agency Mossad prior to his suicide while awaiting trial for child sex offences.
