Virgin Galactic says it has FAA license to fly tourists into space

Virgin Galactic announced on Friday that it's received approval from U.S. regulators to fly customers into space, taking another step toward realizing its goal of taking tourists hundreds of thousands of feet above the Earth.

Virgin said the Federal Aviation Administration has completed an "extensive review" of data from its last test flight in May and concluded that its spaceship performed well in all flight objectives. The May 22 test flight was the company's third crewed spaceflight and the first to be launched from Virgin's New Mexico spaceport. That flight reached a speed of Mach 3 and an altitude of 55 miles, or almost 300,000 feet. Normal commercial flights typically fly no higher than 35,000 feet. "We're incredibly pleased with the results of our most recent test flight, which achieved our stated flight test objectives, "Virgin Galactic CEO Michael Colglazier said in a statement Friday. "The flight performed flawlessly, and the results demonstrate the safety and elegance of our flight system." Colglazier said the FAA license allows Virgin Galactic to move forward with its first fully-crewed test flight this summer. A date has not yet been announced.

The approval for Virgin Galactic came just two weeks after Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos said he will be aboard his company's spaceflight on July 20. It will be Blue Origin's first passenger spaceflight.

DoD Quietly Calls for Shutdown of 70-Year-Old Committee on Women in the Military

24 Jun 2021

Military.com | By Hope Hodge Seck

In January of this year, the Pentagon quietly demanded the resignations of the 21 volunteer members of the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services, a roster that included eight retired generals and admirals.

The ink was barely dry on the committee's 70-year historical review, a 58-page document that described how DACOWITS had advocated on behalf of military women since 1951 on issues ranging from their right to fly fighter jets and serve in combat to the fit of body armor and online harassment.

The committee's hollowing out was part of a sweeping move by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to dissolve all 42 DoD advisory committees pending a cost and efficiency review.

The Defense Business Board, which had been populated with those loyal to Donald Trump in the final throes of his presidency, got the most attention in this move.

But DACOWITS, which had been wrestling with timely issues such as the effect on women of the new gender-neutral Army Combat Fitness Test, was an unseen casualty.

While no decision has been made yet on how and when to bring back the vacated advisory committees, an April memo obtained by Military.com shows that the Defense Department's Manpower and Reserve Affairs office has recommended not bringing back DACOWITS in its current form.

Rather, it wants to merge the historic committee with another yet-to-be-launched group to create a broader Defense Advisory Committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion that would address everything from military extremism and opportunities for minority service members to ill-fitting uniforms and availability of child care.

But those affiliated with DACOWITS fear bundling such a wide range of issues under a single advisory entity would make it very difficult to get meaningful work done – and would shove women-specific military issues, such as hair regulations and anatomy-appropriate flight suits, far to the sidelines.

Extra unemployment benefits ending for 2.5M Americans this weekend

10 states ending federal unemployment benefits for out-of-work Americans this weekend.

About 2.5 million out-of-work Americans are poised to lose their enhanced unemployment benefits this weekend as 10 states prematurely drop out of a pandemic relief program that boosted jobless aid by $300 a week.

Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas and Utah will terminate the extra unemployment benefits this weekend, joining 12 other states that cut off the aid earlier this summer. About 2.5 million workers will lose their benefits, according to one analysis conducted by the Century Foundation, a left-leaning think tank. In total, 26 states are ending the assistance this summer, a move they contend will help businesses that are struggling to find workers. Just one, Louisiana, is led by a Democratic governor. Critics argue that other factors, such as a lack of child care, are the reason for lackluster hiring and have said that opting out of the relief program before it's officially slated to end on Sept. 6 will hurt unemployed Americans, leaving them with no income as they search for a new job. "The reality is that the strength of the jobs market, not the size of unemployment benefits, will determine how fast Americans can return to where they want to be: a job," said Andrew Stettner, a senior fellow at the Century Foundation. "In the meantime, workers should not be forced to rely on unbelievably low unemployment pay."

The cuts will ultimately affect 4 million Americans who are currently receiving benefits, including 2 million who will lose assistance altogether. The unemployment programs were established in March 2020 – and renewed twice by Congress – as the pandemic forced an unprecedented shutdown of the nation's economy, pushing unemployment to the highest level since the Great Depression. In addition to providing an extra $300 a week, the programs provided aid to workers who were not typically eligible and extended state unemployment benefits once they had been exhausted. The average state unemployment benefit is about $330 per week. With the federal supplement, Americans are receiving about $630 in weekly unemployment benefits. (For comparison's sake, that's about $32,000 annually, or roughly double the nation's minimum wage.) But as the economy reopens, companies have complained about a lack of available workers. Labor Department data from April and May shows anemic job growth well below economists' expectations. There's some evidence that ending unemployment benefits led to an uptick in job searches; early data published by Indeed shows that job search activity rose by 5% the day each state announced its plan to cut off the sweetened aid.

The increase was temporary, disappearing by the eighth day after the announcement, Indeed found. By the second week following the announcement, job search activity in the states had returned to its April levels. Some experts say there are other returns for workers' reticence about returning to the labor force, including a lack of child care and continuing fears of contracting COVID-19. There remain about 7.4 million fewer jobs than there were in February 2020, before the pandemic shut down broad swaths of the nation's economy.

About 14.8 million workers are relying on some form of unemployment benefits as their main source of income, according to the Century Foundation.

Kentucky governor offers $1,500 bonus to boost workforce

June 24, 2021

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Gov. Andy Beshear on Thursday dangled a $1,500 bonus meant to lure thousands of unemployed Kentuckians back to work, offering it as an alternative to cutting off enhanced jobless benefits that Republicans and businesses blame for causing a workforce shortage.

The first 15,000 Kentuckians who qualify and return to work by July 30 will receive the one-time, return-to-work incentive, the Democratic governor announced. Beshear said he’s setting aside $22.5 million in federal coronavirus relief funds to pay for the incentive.

“It truly brings, I think, government and the private sector together in a way where first we try the carrot as opposed to the stick to resolve this problem,” Beshear said.

The governor has faced increased pressure from Republican lawmakers and business groups to curtail the proliferation of “help wanted” signs showing up at Kentucky workplaces.

'Horrendous': Ga. audit lawyer demands full investigation into Fulton County's ballot irregularities Attorney warns that county could be "undermining the will of the people.".

Updated: June 22, 2021

A lawyer spearheading a major ballot audit inside Georgia's largest county is warning the irregularities apparent in that county's election management are "horrendous" and cut against "the basic principle of our democracy."

Atlanta-based attorney Bob Cheeley made those claims while talking to Just the News editor-in-chief John Solomon on Tuesday night's "Securing our Elections: Protecting Your Vote" special on Real America's Voice.

Cheeley is among the investigators approved by a Georgia court to audit the 2020 absentee ballots of Fulton County, Ga., a county critical to Joe Biden's historic 2020 win of Georgia that helped propel him to the White House.

Just the News in recent weeks revealed what appear to be major data discrepancies in Fulton's accounting of its absentee ballot numbers. Cheeley told Solomon on Tuesday that he and his team are working to "allow the truth to come out."

Cheeley called attention to what appeared to be instances of double-counting and double-scanning of ballots within Fulton's data, something he said "violates the basic principle of our democracy" and "smacks at the very heart of our democracy by undermining the will of the people."

He also pointed to extensive notes by an election monitor hand-picked by Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger; those notes revealed the inspector's belief that "massive" election issues were playing out in Fulton County before and during the 2020 election, including double counting and serious chain-of-custody and security issues surrounding absentee ballots.

Georgia state officials "did nothing about it," Cheeley said. "So that should have raised a red flag, in my opinion, that they should have more closely scrutinized."

Asked about his degree of confidence in Fulton's election management, Cheeley called the county's performance "horrendous."

"And that's why we need an audit," he said, promising to have "10 certified document examiners lined up" to pore over the tens of thousands of absentee ballots recorded by the county.

Cheeley stressed several times that Georgia officials should have detected the errors apparent in the county's data, including what are apparently multiple instances of missing batches of absentee ballots.

"All you have to do is be able to count to see that these batches are missing," he said. "And we want to know where they are."

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently won a preliminary injunction against the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for mandating "vaccine passports" for the cruise ship industry. That's according to Associated Press (AP).

The CDC stopped cruise ships from sailing in March 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

On October 30 of last year, the CDC reportedly issued a four-phase conditional framework to allow cruise ships to set sail. The framework is said to include mandated Covid-19 vaccines for all passengers and employees.

Governor DeSantis argued the framework imposed onerous bureaucratic requirements on the industry.

The court reportedly agreed that CDC’s conditional sailing order exceeded the CDC's authority.

The court's decision means CDC cannot enforce the framework for Florida-based ships; they would merely be considered non-binding recommendations or guidelines, according to AP.

Today’s ruling is a victory for the hardworking Floridians whose livelihoods depend on the cruise industry. The federal government does not, nor should it ever, have the authority to single out and lockdown an entire industry indefinitely. I am excited to see the cruise industry get sailing again, and proud to stand with Governor Ron DeSantis against illegal federal overreach and draconian lockdown measures.

President Trump Rips Michigan RINOs Shirkey and McBroom for Preventing Audit and Going After Patriots Who Challenged Results

On Thursday 100 Percent Fed Up reported on the recent election developments in Michigan —

In a ridiculous report released on Wednesday, two leading Republicans say they found no evidence of fraud in the 2020 election even though a forensic audit has not been done and is the only way to prove there was no fraud.

We beg to differ.....

Red flags are everywhere in Michigan, and Republicans shouldn’t refuse a complete forensic audit unless they have something to hide.

President Trump released a statement today targeting Senators Mike Shirkey (R) and Ed McBroom (R). In his statement, Trump claims the two state Senators were doing “everything possible” to stop another audit of the state’s election.

Trump included their contact numbers in his press release:

Mike Shirkey: (517) 373-5932

Ed McBroom: (517) 373-7840

These two RINOs are blocking an investigation into the 2020 election in Michigan.

Former MI Senator Patrick Colbeck, who became a target of the left and of RINOs in MI when he testified about tabulators that were potentially connected to the internet at the TCF Center where absentee ballots were counted in Detroit, responded to the threats:

I am simply sharing sworn affidavits of election fraud by everyday citizens. They respond by threats of prosecution for exercising right to free speech & redress of grievances. Their report is the latest “talk to the hand” dismissal of everyday Americans by our elected officials.

This comes just a day after Michigan Rep. Steve Carra introduced a bill asking for a forensic audit of the 2020 election. The bill includes, “Making sure machines were not connected to the internet.”

Over 7.5 K affidavits were delivered to Senator Shirkey and Senator McBroom’s offices last week, requesting a forensic audit in Michigan. The response by these two Republican senators is a slap in the face to the thousands of Michigan citizens who want an investigation.

Biden’s Department of Justice just announced that they are suing the Great State of Georgia over its Election Integrity Act. Actually, it should be the other way around! The PEOPLE of Georgia should SUE the State, and their elected officials, for running a CORRUPT AND RIGGED 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION—and for trying to suppress the VOTE of the AMERICAN PEOPLE in Georgia. If we don’t address these issues from the 2020 Election head on, and we allow the Radical Left Democrats to continue to politicize the DOJ and Law Enforcement, we will lose our Country. SAVE AMERICA!

Georgia’s Garland Favorito Responds to Judge Amero’s Latest Ruling

'“We Really Are Pleased that the Court Has Ruled in Our Favor for the Fifth Time”

Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero ruled on Thursday on the elections lawsuit by Plaintiff Garland Favorito, the founder of VoterGA, a nonpartisan, non-profit organization that has led the election integrity movement in Georgia for 16 years.

In March a Georgia judge ruled that Favorito’s group “Voter GA” would be allowed to unseal the Fulton County Georgia ballots and inspect them for invalid votes.

Then in April Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger petitioned the court to keep the Fulton County ballots sealed....

Garland Favorito:

We were really pleased that the court has ruled in our favor for the fifth time… It muted the attempt to dismiss our case and that’s why we think it’s a significant victory for us… And by the way, this is being portrayed as a loss for us in one or two of the media. But actually, it’s really funny, it’s actually a victory. This continues the string of victories we have. We obtained the original protective order, we got the provisional approval to inspect the ballots, we got access to ballot images, we got the order to unseal the ballots. So every time we’ve gone to court we’ve come up with some victory.''

This is great news for those Americans interested in election integrity!

FBI requested warrant to seize gold ‘stolen during Civil War,’ hidden in Pennsylvania cave: affidavit

The FBI suspected a legislative staff member sneaking gold back in 2013

An FBI agent applied for a federal warrant in 2018 to seize a fabled cache of U.S. government gold he said was "stolen during the Civil War" and hidden in a Pennsylvania cave, saying the state might take the gold for itself if the feds asked for permission, according to court documents unsealed Thursday.

The newly unsealed affidavit confirms previous reporting by The Associated Press that the government had been looking for a legendary cache of gold at the site, which federal authorities had long refused to confirm. In any case, the FBI said, the dig came up empty. The AP and The Philadelphia Inquirer petitioned a federal judge to unseal the case. Federal prosecutors did not oppose the request, and the judge agreed, paving the way for Thursday’s release of documents. "I have probable cause to believe that a significant cache of gold is secreted in the underground cave" in Dent’s Run, holding "one or more tons" belonging to the U.S. government, wrote Jacob Archer of the FBI's art crime team in Philadelphia. Archer told the judge he needed a seizure warrant because he feared that if the federal government sought permission from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to excavate the site, the state would claim the gold for itself, setting up a costly legal battle.

"I am concerned that, even if DCNR gave initial consent for the FBI to excavate the cache of gold secreted at the Dent's Run Site, that consent could be revoked before the FBI recovered the United States property, with the result of DCNR unlawfully claiming that that cache of gold is abandoned property and, thus, belongs to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania," the affidavit said. Archer also revealed allegations against a legislative staffer who, he wrote, tried to get some of the loot for himself.

In 2013, the affidavit said, the legislative staffer contacted a pair of treasure hunters who had identified the likely site of the gold. The staffer "corruptly" offered to get the treasure hunters a state permit to dig "in return for three bars of gold or ten percent" of whatever they recovered. The staffer said he was acting on behalf of others in state government, according to Archer, including "someone who controlled money going to DCNR and someone working in the Pennsylvania governor's office." No one has been charged in connection with the case, and federal prosecutors say they consider the matter closed. A spokesperson for the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources declined comment. The FBI had long refused to explain exactly why it went digging on state-owned land in Elk County in March 2018, saying only in written statements over the years that agents were there for a court-authorized excavation of "what evidence suggested may have been a cultural heritage site.

According to the affidavit, the FBI based its request for a seizure warrant partly on the work done by the treasure hunters, who had made hundreds of trips to the area. The father-son duo told authorities they believed they had found the location of the fabled Union gold, which, according to legend, was either lost or stolen on its way to the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia in 1863. After meeting with the treasure hunters in early 2018, the FBI brought in a contractor with more sophisticated instruments. The contractor detected an underground mass that weighed up to nine tons and had the density of gold, the affidavit said.

That amount of gold would today be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Archer wrote that he also spoke with a journalist, identified as "Person 3," who had done extensive research on a Civil War-era group called the Knights of the Golden Circle. The KGC, Archer wrote, was a secret society of Confederate sympathizers that had purportedly "buried secret caches of weapons, coins, and gold and silver bullion, much of which was stolen from robberies of banks, trains carrying payroll of the Union Army during the Civil War and from northern army military posts, in southern, western and northern states." Archer said that a turtle carving found on a rock near the proposed dig site was "very likely ... a KGC marker for that site." Archer wasn’t able to confirm the U.S. Mint had actually missed any expected shipments of gold because the Mint did not have records for the Civil War period, the affidavit said.
