Liz Truss urged Dominic Cummings to scrap hundreds of 'woke' civil service roles in an attack on Whitehall 'groupthink', a leaked document has revealed. As international trade secretary in 2020, Miss Truss's office called for the abolition of diversity and inclusion roles in the civil service. Her office reportedly signed off the document to Mr Cummings, who was then Boris Johnson's most senior adviser, criticising the 'risk-averse' Whitehall for its liberal 'groupthink'. And she lambasted the difficulty of firing poorly-performing officials, according to the Telegraph. A source close to Miss Truss told the paper the document represented how she would...

Boise, Idaho–based memory manufacturer Micron Technology says it has reached volume production of a 232-layer NAND flash-memory chip. It’s the first such chip to pass the 200-layer mark, and it’s been a tight race. Competitors are currently providing 176-layer technology, and some have said they are on track to follow Micron’s skyward move or already have working chips in hand. The new Micron tech as much as doubles the density of bits stored per unit area versus competing chips, packing in 14.6 gigabits per square millimeter. Its 1-terabit chips are bundled into 2-terabyte packages, each of which is barely more...

Two teenage girls who allegedly bashed a white woman in the head while snarling that they “hate white people” were slapped with hate-crime charges on Tuesday, police said. The girls, ages 15 and 16, along with another girl who is still being sought, confronted the 57-year-old woman on the Q52 bus in Woodhaven on July 9 and started an argument, police said. The dispute turned violent when the girls whacked the woman in the head with a blunt object, cops said. “I hate white people ... the way they talk,” the victim recalled her attackers saying, police sources said. The...

WASHINGTON — About two dozen anti-Big Tech activists, some in costume, stalked a DC fundraiser hosted by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday evening to demand that he call a vote on pending antitrust legislation. Schumer ended up hunkering down in the Kimpton George Hotel near the Capitol building until after the protest disbanded — as his guests filtered out and earnestly told the crowd that he already left. A person at the 5 p.m. fundraiser for Schumer’s Impact PAC said that the New York Democrat left the event at 5:56 p.m. — so most of the demonstrators returned...

China tried to build a network of informants inside the Federal Reserve system, at one point threatening to imprison a Fed economist during a trip to Shanghai unless he agreed to provide nonpublic economic data, a congressional investigation found. The investigation by Republican staff members of the Senate’s Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs found that Fed employees were offered contracts with Chinese talent-recruitment programs , which often include cash payments, and asked to provide information on the U.S. economy, interest-rate changes and policies, according to a report of the findings released Tuesday. In the case of the economist,...

Text from the tweet is below. Why is he not blinking? There's something 'off' about this video. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-cop. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-American.

“A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself. Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend” (Proverbs 27:15-16).

President Biden @POTUS United States government official Brave women and men in uniform across America should never forget that the defeated former president of the United States watched January 6th happen and didn’t have the spine to act. In my remarks today to @noblenatl , I made that clear: https://youtu.be/qhWp1nE7PO0

After the defeat of the Islamic State (ISIS), Iraqi forensic teams continue searching for the remains of the many victims of the terrorist group in the country.

Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Jul 16, 2022 / 03:00 am A Texas bishop emeritus is calling on his fellow Catholic bishops — and all pro-life Americans — to take action against pro-abortion policy in favor of pro-life measures that support women and the unborn. “Our own president is considering declaring abortion a public health emergency,” Bishop Michael D. Pfeifer, bishop emeritus of San Angelo, wrote in a July pastoral statement. “The speaker of the house is trying to enshrine abortion on demand in federal law.” He urged: “We bishops and all pro-lifers must send an unmistakable message to these pro-abortion leaders...

Derek Abbott, from the University of Adelaide, says the body of a man found on one of the city's beaches in 1948 belonged to Carl "Charles" Webb, an electrical engineer and instrument maker born in Melbourne in 1905. Last May, South Australia police responded to Abbott's calls to exhume the Somerton man's body and experts at Forensic Science SA started work to try to find the best way to analyze his DNA. But in the end, Abbott, a professor in the Adelaide University School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, claims it was strands of the man's hair trapped in a...

Former President Donald Trump explained why he continues to fight for what he called America First, Make America Great Again-loving patriots, stopping short of declaring an official presidential campaign for 2024: "Because I love our country.""Never forget, everything this corrupt establishment is doing to me is all about preserving their power and control over the American people," Trump told the America First Agenda Summit, delivering an America First Policy Institute speech, which aired live on Newsmax. "They want to damage you in any form, but they really want to damage me so I can no longer go back to work...

The head of the Russian church, Patriarch Kirill gave a powerful, patriotic sermon on Sunday during celebrations to her most important Saint, St. Sergius of Radonezh. The main thrust of the sermon was that God has always delivered Russia during conflicts with her enemies because Russia always turned to God at these times, even during WW2, when Russia was officially atheist. GO has a longer description of the events with several excellent videos and images here. In the sermon, the Patriarch lambasted Europe for having 'banished God', creating a situation in which people are afraid to admit publicly that they...

As Twitchy has reported, President Joe Biden has claimed that “lives were lost” on January 6, and Donald Trump left cops to suffer three hours of “medieval hell,” dripping in blood and surrounded by carnage. The brave women and men in blue should never forget that, Biden says in a new video. He also says you can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-cop. We’ll admit we kind of tune out whenever someone calls the storming of the Capitol an “insurrection” — if it was, there have been a handful of insurrections since. We’re less interested in what Biden has to say in...

Former President Donald Trump, while speaking in the border state of Arizona, said his administration "created the safest border in the history of our country," but under President Joe Biden, "we have the most unsafe border in the history of our country and I believe in the history of the world.""You're talking about millions and millions of people coming in unvetted, coming in from jails from 141 different countries," Trump said in his Prescott Valley "Save America" rally Friday night. "What they're doing to our country is ruining it. They're poisoning our country."Trump pointed out that his administration "deported record...
