The U.S. Space Force conducted its first launch Thursday, sending a military communications satellite into orbit. A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket blasted the sixth Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellite into space from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. “Congrats @ulalaunch on today’s successful launch of #AEHF6—our 1st USSF Nat’l Security Space Launch!" Chief of Space Operations Gen. John Raymond tweeted Thursday, thanking those involved in the project. The launch, deemed mission essential, went ahead Thursday despite the coronavirus outbreak that has infected at least 280 U.S. troops and disrupted training exercises, overseas deployments and other...

The documents — mostly emails — provide a behind-the-scenes peek into the messy early stages of the U.S. response to the coronavirus, revealing an antiquated public health system trying to adapt on the fly. What comes through clearly is confusion, as the CDC underestimated the threat from the virus and stumbled in communicating to local public health officials what should be done. For much of February, the CDC kept a tight grip on who should be tested for the coronavirus, a strategy that has been criticized by epidemiologists for limiting the ability to track the spread of the disease. In...

U.S. stocks soared higher Thursday as the government came closer to approving a $2 trillion stimulus package to combat the coronavirus pandemic, capping a three-day rally that has pushed the Dow Jones Industrial Average into a bull market. The Dow industrials finished the day up 1351.62 points, or 6.4%, to close at 22,552.17, launching the blue-chip index back into bull market territory. The jump ends an 11-day bear market for the index—the shortest in history for the index—which reached its bear-market low just three days ago. The rapid plunge out of, and then back into, a bull market underscores just...

President Trump on Wednesday defended the inclusion of $25 million in funding for the Kennedy Center as part of the massive economic relief bill aimed at boosting small businesses and workers harmed by the fallout of the coronavirus. Trump fashioned himself a supporter of the arts, arguing that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is deserving of assistance given its inability to put on shows as officials ban large gatherings to try to curb the spread of the virus. "I’m a fan of that," Trump said of the funding. "I haven’t spent time there because I’m far...

Las Vegas casinos owners may have just five months to stay afloat as they burn through up to $14.4million each a day following orders to close down operations for a month. On Tuesday March 17 Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak ordered a statewide closure of all nonessential businesses for 30 days, including casinos, bars and restaurants, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, turning Sin City into a ghost town. Casinos are now facing the dilemma of keeping workers employed, while grappling with zero income. Some operators have as little as five months before they run out of money, according to Macquarie...

Elton John said there might be a “silver lining” to the lockdowns being used in a bid to control the coronavirus pandemic, saying the experience might make him, and others, less selfish. “Every cloud has a silver lining,” John told Apple’s Zane Lowe. “Maybe this will bring people together and [they’ll] be far more thoughtful about each other in a world where we’re so selfish — me included. And it gives us time to reflect on what life’s all about. And life is about love and sharing and generosity of spirit and coming together as one.” He added that he’s...

Abortion centers in Maryland have been caught defying orders to stop killing babies in abortions under the state mandate to stop all non-essential medical procedures. As LifeNews reported, in a letter to the state health department, pro-life state Delegate Dan Cox asked whether the order for the stoppage of non-essential medical procedures applied to abortion centers: Delegate Cox received a response back indicating that, yes, the order for stoppage applied to all licensed medical clinics — which would include businesses that kill babies in abortions. Whether abortion centers in Maryland comply with the order was always the question and pro-life...

"Forgive us our debts" (Matt. 6:12). Believers confess their sins; unbelievers deny theirs. Christians struggle with sin. That surely comes as no surprise to you. As you mature in Christ, the frequency of your sinning decreases, but your sensitivity to it increases. That doesn't mean you are more easily tempted, but that you are more aware of the subtleties of sin and how it dishonors God. Some people think you should never confess your sins or seek forgiveness, but the Lord instructed us to do so when He said for us to pray, "Forgive us our debts" (Matt. 6:12). That's...

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Secretary of State Mac Warner announced on Thursday that he has issued guidance and a funding opportunity to assist county clerks with mailing an absentee ballot application to every registered voter in West Virginia, according to a press release. In the release, the Secretary of State’s Office said that returning the absentee ballot application is the first step to receiving the official ballot via mail. During the State of Emergency that has been issued as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, every registered voter in the state is eligible to vote an absentee-by-mail ballot in the May...

In a sweeping three-day surge unequaled in nearly 90 years, stock markets recovered almost a fifth of their lost value. On Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average soared 1,351 points, or 6.4 percent, while the S&P 500 spiked 155 points, or 6.2 percent. The Dow's three-day gains were the largest since 1931, and the S&P's were the largest since 1933, raising markets from three-year lows. The upswing came despite data showing a record-shattering spike in initial unemployment claims, which reached nearly 3.3 million in the third week of March, roughly five times the previous record. Instead, markets focused on the...

President Trump lead another Coronavirus task force briefing from the White House on Monday evening. The President was joined by Vice President Mike Pence, US Attorney General Bill Barr and others. Trump signed a second executive order to providing authority to address hoarding and price gouging that threatens the supply of medical supplies. Attorney General Bill Barr put hoarders on notice and said they will get a knock on the door if they are sitting on a large amount of supplies. “We have started to see some evidence of potential hoarding and price gouging,” said Barr. “So, earlier today the...

New York Attorney General Letitia James lashed out Thursday at state leaders who are working to save lives from the coronavirus and abortions. The pro-abortion Democrat urged state and federal lawmakers to make sure elective abortions continue to be available and easily accessible during the health crisis, The Hill reports. Many states are ordering non-essential medical care to be postponed, but pro-abortion Democrat leaders have been carving out exceptions for abortions, even though they are elective and do not save lives. “To be clear, the coronavirus is not an excuse for federal, state, or local governments to curtail women’s reproductive...

Add Tennessee to the list of states where the governor has made it clear that abortion businesses must stop kiling babies in abortions because abortions are not “essential” medical care. On Monday, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee issued an order for all medical facilities to stop any non-essential medical care in order to preserve medical supplies to fight the coronavirus. Today, the governor said that order applies to abortion centers “The executive order was certainly crafted in order to provide [personal protective equipment] for health care” professionals involved in the coronavirus response, as well as ensure resources were available for those...

The lone abortion business in Maryland has been caught defying orders to stop killing babies in abortions under the state mandate to stop all non-essential medical procedures. As LifeNews.com reported, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves urged the state’s only abortion facility to close and comply with a state order postponing all elective medical procedures due to the coronavirus. According to a new report that has happened. The pro-life Republican governor said abortions should stop in the state, especially during the health crisis. Earlier, the state health department issued an order to stop all elective and unnecessary medical procedures so that medical...

Anonymous sources are the worst... except when they're right. Following the South Carolina primary victory, sources close to and within the Democratic National Committee told NOQ Report the power brokers behind the Democratic Establishment were working on getting the “moderate” candidates other than Joe Biden to drop out before Super Tuesday. Our editor (wisely?) chose not to run the story because we could not get anyone on the record and anonymous sources are generally anathema for news outlets that rely on incontrovertible facts. We don’t want to be CNN or the NY Times, after all. This time, the same two...

It is one of the darkest and most dramatic moments in recent Spanish history. In the chilling table of daily dead from the coronavirus pandemic, Spain has taken top position from Italy - with 738 dying over 24 hours. Spain is now the hotspot of the global pandemic, a ghoulish title that has been passed from country to country over four months – starting in Wuhan, China, and travelling via Iran and Italy. As it moves west, we do not know who will be next. What went wrong? Spain had seen what happened in China and Iran. It also has...

President Trump and Members of the Coronavirus Task Force hold news conference at 5 pm.

While we hope to never experience a revolution in our lifetime in America, it is important that we understand and learn from the revolutions of history. For part 1 of my series on revolutions, we are going to look at one of the defining revolutions in history — The French Revolution of 1789. Many today wrongly believe that the French Revolution was a success. By all measures, it was rather an abject failure, delaying France’s adoption of Democracy by more than one hundred years...
