Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley was allegedly so worried that then-President Donald Trump might attempt a coup after the presidential election last year that he and other service chiefs discussed a plan to resign rather than carry it out, according to reports about a forthcoming book by two Washington Post reporters. “This is a Reichstag moment… The gospel of the Führer,” Milley told aides, according to CNN, which obtained advance excerpts of the book I Alone Can Fix It by Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker.

Hundreds of Chinese fishing vessels illegally occupying the Philippines’ Spratly Islands are allegedly dumping vast amounts of human waste into the surrounding South China Sea causing an ecological “catastrophe” that threatens the health of local marine ecosystems and fishing stocks, Reuters reported on Tuesday. “Swarms of Chinese vessels have dumped human waste and wastewater for years in a disputed area of the South China Sea, causing algae blooms that have damaged coral reefs and threatened fish in an unfolding catastrophe,” Liz Derr, the co-founder and CEO of Simularity Inc., told reporters on Monday. Simularity Inc. is a software company that...

A new poll blew apart the media’s year-long gaslighting that extended unemployment benefits weren’t discouraging work. A new Morning Consult poll estimated based on 14.1 million Americans who were receiving unemployment insurance for the week ending June 19, “benefits reduced the number of accepted job offers by an estimated 1.84 million over the course of the pandemic.” The 1.84 million Americans turned down jobs likely because of government handouts. Morning Consult’s survey found that “[m]ost workers receiving unemployment insurance know that their benefits are about to expire, signaling that job acceptance and search practices are likely to change even before...

YesFacing an ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, the Biden administration is on the verge of making a very bad situation worse.Travel restrictions that have been in place since the onset of the pandemic are set to expire next week. If they do, it means U.S. borders will open up to nonessential travel, reviving cross-border traffic at U.S. ports of entry along the southwest border.In normal times, that would be a good thing. The economies of border communities that depend on cross-border travel and commerce, especially those in Texas, have suffered greatly as a result of these travel restrictions. But...

Britons should eat one-third less meat, and salt and sugar must be taxed, according to a review commissioned by the government, which also recommends subsidies from the taxpayer to promote the development of “alternative proteins”, which could include lab-grown meat. The National Food Strategy also recommended that fruits and vegetables be prescribed like a medication by the National Health Service (NHS) for low-income households with perceived poor diets.

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee sent a Thursday letter to National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Francis Collins and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NAID) Director Anthony Fauci demanding answers about a grant to EcoHealth Alliance, which then conferred the taxpayer funds to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). The Daily Caller first obtained the letter led by the Ranking Member Kentucky Rep. James Comer and signed by every Republican on the committee. In it, they will be invoking the Seven Member Rule, which is a law that requires, upon a request of seven Members on the...

The problem with the Italian football team is that there’s just too many Italians on it, The Economist argued in a bizarre article linking Italy’s Euro 2020 victory to fascism, racism, and the defeat of multiculturalism. Italy beat England 3-2 in a nail-biting penalty shootout on Sunday night, winning the UEFA European Championships for the first time since 1968. However, while Italians erupted in celebration, some dismayed England fans turned their anger on their team’s three black players who missed their penalty kicks. Much has been written about the shameful racist abuse hurled at these players, but the day after...

President Joe Biden’s plan to have teams go door-to-door to urge those unvaccinated for COVID-19 to get the shot is being rejected by the public even before it begins. By a 53%-37% margin, likely voters consider the aggressive tactic to be “a bad idea.” In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey, only Democrats and liberals favor the plan. Some 63% of liberals like it, as opposed to 22% of conservatives. What’s more, black people, white people, men, and women reject the idea. Democrats also like the idea of companies requiring workers to be vaccinated. The poll analysis said, “Similarly, 56% of...

As the Senate, nudged along by West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, moves to include immigration for millions of illegal immigrants in an infrastructure bill, new polling shows it could be a career killer for several Democrats up for reelection next year. Data provided to Secrets by the Federation for American Immigration Reform found most blame President Joe Biden for the border crisis and that a large majority believes that providing a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants in the legislation would only make the crisis worse. One early draft of the infrastructure bill would put $150 billion to immigration policies,...

The boy just finished eighth grade. His name was Jacob Clynick. He died on June 16. But from Fauci, it’s this: “You’ve got to ask,” he said during a recent MSNBC interview about the lag in vaccine rollouts, “what is the problem? Get over it. Get over this political statement. Just get over it and try and save the lives of yourself and your family.” Wonder if that includes the Clynick family, too. Get over it. Just get over it. “F.D.A.

Now, a lot of things for which people could have paid cash, they will have to finance to be able to afford. I believe this to be on purpose. It is going to ruin people financially. The Bible says, "The borrower becomes the lender's slave."

Col. Ken Hoffman, a Pentagon spokesman, said in a statement to The Washington Post. The Pentagon’s review is ongoing, Hoffman said. He did...
