Lawmakers launch investigation into Defense Secretary Austin's health secrecy
The House Armed Services Committee has launched an investigation into how senior Pentagon leaders mishandled Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's emergency hospitalization and non-disclosure of a cancer diagnosis amid continued concerns from lawmakers about the military's chain of command.
The move is likely just the first in a series of formal inquiries over the coming weeks into Austin's health and lack of communication with the White House. Austin is expected to testify before multiple committees on the annual defense budget in the coming weeks, and the issue could dominate those appearances as well.
Austin, 70, has been receiving hospital care since Jan. 1, when he was rushed to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after developing a urinary tract infection from complications related to prostate cancer surgery on Dec. 22.
Other senior military leaders were not informed of his condition until several days later. White House officials, including President Joe Biden, were not made aware the defense secretary was hospitalized until Jan. 5, and did not learn about his cancer diagnosis until Jan. 9.
In a statement, Austin acknowledged that "I could have done a better job ensuring the public was appropriately informed." In a press briefing on Tuesday, White House officials said the handling of the matter was "not optimal," but said Biden has no plans for a leadership change at the Pentagon.
In a letter to Austin on Tuesday, committee House Armed Services Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Ala., said panel members have "grave concerns" over his and other officials' decision to not immediately inform Congress or the White House when the defense secretary was hospitalized on Jan. 1.
"With wars in Ukraine and Israel, the idea that the White House and even your own deputy did not understand the nature of your condition is patently unacceptable," Rogers wrote. "Everything from on-going counterterrorism operations to nuclear command and control relies on a clear understanding of the secretary's decision-making capacity.
"The Department is a robust institution, and it is designed to function under attack by our enemies, but it is not designed for a secretary who conceals being incapacitated."
The committee inquiry will focus initially on Austin, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks, and Austin's chief of staff, Kelly Magsamen. Pentagon officials said Magsamen learned of Austin's hospitalization just hours after it occurred but took several days to share the news because of her own illness.
Rep. Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania, a Democrat, called for Austin's resignation on Wednesday.
The Senate Armed Services Committee has not taken the same formal steps as its House counterpart, but members have requested more information on the incident from Austin and Defense Department leaders.
"This lack of disclosure must never happen again," Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Jack Reed, D-R.I., said in a statement on Monday. "I am tracking the situation closely and the Department of Defense is well aware of my interest in any and all relevant information."
Committee ranking member Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., has requested a briefing on the confusion surrounding Austin's medical condition, asserting in a statement Tuesday that "an internal review ordered by the same chief of staff who played a part in this crisis is woefully inadequate." On Wednesday, Senate Republicans also requested more information from the Pentagon regarding the timeline surrounding Austin's hospitalization.
Earlier this week, Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., announced plans to file articles of impeachment against Austin for failing to publicly disclose his health problems. House Republican leaders have not announced any plans to move ahead with that or similar articles of impeachment filed by other Republican members against Austin last August, those concerning his handling of the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
On Wednesday, House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., called for the resignation of Austin and "anyone who lied for him."
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby earlier this week announced the White House and Pentagon would conduct reviews to ensure that similar communication issues do not happen again.

Q Research General #24672: Write-in Trump on the Ballot Edition
Senate confirms senior military leaders, including two four-star Space Force generals
December 20, 2023
The U.S. Senate on Dec. 19 voted to confirm eleven senior officers to become four-star generals and admirals, including two Space Force leaders, Gen. Michael Guetlein and Gen. Stephen Whiting.
The Senate vote came as the chamber delayed the holiday recess to work on a number of issues. The confirmations of Guetlein and Whiting, along with the promotions of hundreds of other officers, faced an unforeseen delay of nearly six months as a result of Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) blocking military promotions in protest of the Pentagon's policy of reimbursing travel costs for troops seeking abortions.
The Senate on Dec. 5 confirmed 421 senior military promotions. However, that release did not cover 11 top generals and flag officers who had been nominated to receive a fourth star.
The hold created a period of uncertainty and operational constraints, the Pentagon said. After his Senate colleagues persistently pressured Tuberville to drop the protest, the blockade was lifted Dec. 19.
Both Guetlein and Whiting were nominated for their new posts in July.
Guetlein is poised to succeed now-retired Gen. David "DT" Thompson as vice chief of space operations of the U.S. Space Force.
Guetlein since 2019 served as commander of the Space Force's acquisition arm, the Space Systems Command, based in Los Angeles. The new leader of Space Systems Command is Lt. Gen. Philip Garrant.
"Each of these leaders is highly qualified. They have dedicated their lives and careers to serving and defending our nation. They deserve our respect and gratitude, and I am pleased the Senate worked together to get them confirmed."
Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee
Gen. Stephen Whiting will assume the top post at U.S. Space Command, a Defense Department combatant command that oversees military operations in the space domain. Whiting since October 2020 served as commander of the Space Operations Command, a Space Force organization at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado, that oversees the organization and equipping of Space Force units.
Whiting replaces U.S. Army Gen. James Dickinson as head of Space Command. He takes over amid a political fight over the permanent location of the command's headquarters. The battle started when then-President Trump in his final days in office selected Huntsville, Alabama, as the headquarters' location. The Biden administration ultimately reversed course and opted to keep Space Command in Colorado. This decision drew criticism from Alabama lawmakers who continue to challenge the decision.

Even before Smith's medical issue, there have been a flurry of efforts recently to get around Tuberville's hold. Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, is also circulating a cloture petition to force votes on Gen. David Allvin to be chief of staff of the Air Force and Adm. Lisa Franchetti to be the Navy's chief of naval operations.
Sullivan said Tuesday he was still pressing forward on that effort.
Democrats, meanwhile, have been exploring a temporary change to Senate rules that would allow them to consider most of the nominations caught in Tuberville's hold in a batch vote. Such a change would require at least nine Republicans to go along with the plan – an unlikely prospect.
Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told reporters Monday that 378 general and flag officer nominations are held up right now in the Senate.
Democrats argued Tuesday that Smith's health scare underscores the importance of getting all the stalled nominees confirmed.
"It also illustrates the pressure that these people are on, working from 5 a.m. to 11 o'clock," Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Jack Reed, D-R.I., said Tuesday before Tuberville announced his cloture petition, alluding to the schedule Smith previously said he was working in order to do two jobs at once. "This nonsense about anybody can do the job and it's just easy and acting is fine – this just completely undercuts that."
Lt. Gen. Karsten Heckl, who will serve as acting commandant while Smith is hospitalized, made a statement Tuesday in an attempt to reassure the service and the public.
"In typical Marine fashion, I am the next Marine up. This is what we do, as so many have done before us throughout the history of our Corps," Heckl said in the statement. "We must continue the march forward on behalf of our fellow Marines and nation, regardless of the situation or the uncertainty that we may face.
"That is what our commandant wants, and what the citizens of our nation require of each and every one of us," he said.
Smith's last public appearance before his hospitalization was at the Marine Corps Marathon on Sunday. The service released images of the commandant clapping and cheering on racers, including his senior enlisted counterpart, Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Carlos Ruiz.
Ruiz released a video statement Monday after the Corps notified the public of Smith's hospitalization.
"Our commandant, Gen. Smith, experienced a medical emergency and is currently receiving care at a local hospital," Ruiz said, addressing Marines. "I know that all Marines will join me in wishing Gen. Smith a swift recovery so he can return to duty. I also know that Marines across our Corps are professional warfighters, who will remain focused on the important work each of you are doing every day."
He said that Heckl would take over due to a "vacancy" in the assistant commandant's position.
"Since taking our seats, the commandant and I have emphasized discipline, professionalism and conduct," he added. "And that doesn't change today, or what we do tomorrow."

Q Research General #24104: McCarthy Folds strips $300M Ukraine aid from Defense spending bill Editio
No timeline exists to confirm top leaders for Navy, Air Force
A key Senate panel advanced the nominations of the top uniformed leaders for the Air Force and Navy this week, but lawmakers warned that actually finalizing their confirmations may still take some time.
Senate Armed Services Committee members backed Adm. Lisa Franchetti for the position of chief of naval operations and Gen. David Allvin for the role of chief of staff of the Air Force as part of routine panel work Wednesday. The two nominees to join the Joint Chiefs of Staff were accompanied by 36 other general and flag officer promotions.
Last week, the Senate confirmed Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown to serve as the next Joint Chiefs chairman, Gen. Randy George to serve as Army chief of staff and Gen. Eric Smith to serve as commandant of the Marine Corps. The three promotions were the first defense confirmations advanced by the Senate since early February, a delay caused by political fights over the Defense Department's abortion access policy.
After the trio of confirmations, several Democratic lawmakers predicted a rush of approvals for the 300-plus senior military posts still awaiting votes. But on Thursday, Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Jack Reed, D-R.I., said chamber leaders are currently focused on budget work instead.
"At this point, we are preoccupied with trying to keep the government open," he said.

SCREAMING Mark Levin Unloads Seven-Minute Tirade After Trump Indictment: 'This! Is! An Insurrection!'
Fox News host Mark Levin went absolutely ballistic on Thursday night after the Department of Justice indicted former President Donald Trump.
Trump was indicted on seven counts in federal court in the Southern District of Florida, including illegal retention of classified documents, obstruction, and conspiracy. The material was retrieved by FBI agents when they executed a search warrant at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida last August.
The former president denied wrongdoing in a video released on Thursday night.
Appearing as a guest on Hannity, Levin went on a seven-minute tirade against the indictment and screamed parts of his monologue.
"President Trump is 76 years old," he began calmly. "If the Department of Justice gets its way, he will die in federal prison. Just by one of these counts - conspiracy to obstruct justice, which has a 20-year maximum sentence. This is a disgusting, disgusting mark on American history, for the future to come by these bandits in the White House, by the Democrat party. They don't play fair anymore."
Levin called the indictment a scheme to prevent Trump, who is a 2024 presidential candidate, from ascending to the White House again. he slammed Attorney General Merrick Garland and Special Counsel Jack Smith, the latter of whom is leading the probe against Trump
"They want to take control of the country," he continued. "They want one-party rule. And they have used the Department of Justice and the FBI to get what they want. Merrick Garland is a mob lawyer. That's what he is. Jack Reed [sic] rogue, Soviet-style prosecutor."
He went on to yell, "This is a documents case!" and ask, "Is this some kind of a sick joke on the American people?!"
Levin was just getting warmed up. He then cited the fact that one of the charges originates with the Espionage Act:
I don't want to hear from the legal analysts, the technicalities about false statements and obstruction. This should never have been a criminal case! Willful retention of documents! Well, what's the un-willful retention of documents mean? They're throwing all these process crimes and all these crimes that grow out of the criminal investigation against Trump!
What did he do with the documents? Did he sell them to the enemy? No! That's why we have an Espionage Act, not to trip up a president. What did he do?! Did he burn them all?! No! The government has all the documents back! So there is no violation of the Presidential Records Act at this point! But they throw the book at him?!
Levin then called the special counsel a "jerk" and scoffed at the idea Garland was siloed from Smith's investigation.
"He made the decision to indict the former president and they made the decision to interfere in this election!" Levin continued. "You wanna talk about an insurrection?! This! Is! An insurrection! And that's exactly what's going on here!
Levin proclaimed President Joe Biden "the crookedest crook that's ever been in the Oval Office."

made me think of this:
John Reed (journalist) - Wikipedia
John "Jack" Silas Reed (October 22, 1887 - October 17, 1920) was an American journalist, poet, and communist activist. Reed first gained prominence as a war correspondent during the Mexican Revolution for Metropolitan and World War I for The Masses.

After doing this for 6 years, here's my analysis:
Jack Reed is a converted white hat. Whether this was by choice or force doesn't even really matter. The point is, he's ON team and working with POTUS to illustrate just how corrupt the democrats, media, and justice department in our country have become. So the plan is to roll out this painfully obvious persecution of POTUS for "classified documents" crimes, when everybody already knows he's protected under the scheme of the PRA. But Jack isn't working alone. In coordination with the FBI, Jack and Wray run two separate tracks: Trump is to be treated as unfairly as possible with every single opportunity, and conversely, the Biden's will be protected in the face of a growing mountain of evidence. If you step back and look at the events that brought us to this point, it would almost be comical if not for the fact we are fighting for the very survival of our country. Trump has been taking rubber bullets for years, and it still works like a charm to this day. I know people get tired of hearing, but it's true: Trump gets accused of what the democrats are actually guilty of doing. And there is a sequence to this, it happens over and over again:
>Trump get blamed for X crime
>The media hyperventilates, democrat lawyers are sure this is it; we got him this time!
>Some time later, it turns out his political opponents are actually guilty of the exact same crime
>The media either ignores the new story, or they run cover for the democrats
>After a lengthy process, Trump finally gets exonerated (Trump was right AGAIN)
>His opponents aren't exonerated
>Instead, they are exposed and reputations ruined
This happened with RussiaGate, Ukraine "Quid pro quo", calling the military stupid, classified documents, hell, even the Hollywood Access tape was the same sequence: Trump is on tape saying "you can grab them by the pussy", and years later Tara Reade is credibly accusing Biden of doing just that. So I say that to say this: If history is any indication (and it is), this "leaked" Trump tape means we're about to get the Biden/Burisma tapes, and when we do, LOOK OUT, because it's going to change EVERYTHING.

Jack Reed
'John "Jack" Silas Reed (October 22, 1887 - October 17, 1920) was an American journalist, poet, and communist activist. Reed first gained prominence as a war correspondent during the Mexican Revolution for Metropolitan and World War I for The Masses. He is best known for his coverage of the October Revolution in Petrograd, Russia, which he wrote about in his 1919 book Ten Days That Shook the World.
Reed supported the Soviet takeover of Russia, even briefly taking up arms to join the Red Guards in 1918. He hoped for a similar Communist revolution in the United States, and co-founded the short-lived Communist Labor Party of America in 1919. He died in Moscow of spotted typhus in 1920. At the time of his death he may have soured on the Soviet leadership, but he was given a hero's burial by the Soviet Union, and is one of only three Americans buried at the Kremlin Wall Necropolis.

Q Research General #23147: Do Vampires Exist? Edition
Schiff Aide Threatened Researchers Who Refused to Investigate False Trump-Russia Links
Special Counsel John Durham's report reveals Democratic efforts to push the Alfa Bank conspiracy
Staffers for Democratic congressman Adam Schiff (Calif.) and Senator Jack Reed (R.I.) threatened two university researchers to force them to help with an investigation into former president Donald Trump's ties to Russia, the researchers told Special Counsel John Durham.
The researchers, from Georgia Tech University, told Durham that they were invited to Washington, D.C., in November 2018 to provide what they thought was a briefing about the school's federal research contracts. Instead, they were lured into a meeting with staff members working for Schiff at the House Intelligence Committee and for Reed, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee. The researchers said the Democratic staffers asked them to analyze a news article about alleged links between Trump's company and Russia's Alfa Bank.
When they balked at the request because it was "inappropriate" conduct for a public university, the Democratic staffers issued what one researcher believed was a "mild threat." A staffer for Reed told the researchers that "we are now in charge," and a staffer for Schiff pointed out the Democrat would soon take over as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, one researcher told Durham.
Durham's office investigated whether the Democrats' pressure campaign merited prosecution "for contract fraud or abuse of government resources," though no charges were filed.
The revelation marks yet another black eye for Schiff in his failed quest to establish ties between Trump and Russia. The California Democrat, who is running for Senate, infamously claimed in 2017 that he had seen "more than circumstantial evidence" of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. He also read portions of the discredited Steele dossier at a congressional hearing on March 20, 2017. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) stripped Schiff of his House Intelligence position in January, citing the Democrat's promotion of Trump conspiracy theories.
The allegation about Alfa Bank and Trump, which Schiff touted in an interview in 2017, has also been debunked. Federal investigations have found that there were no nefarious links between the Trump campaign and Alfa Bank. The false claim originated with the Hillary Clinton campaign and its opposition research firm, Fusion GPS.
Clinton advisers and Fusion GPS schemed in September 2016 to publicize that Trump's company had a covert computer link to Alfa Bank. Clinton personally approved the plan, according to her campaign manager. Clinton and Jake Sullivan, a campaign adviser who now works at the White House, touted an Oct. 31, 2016, news article that laid out the Alfa-Trump theory. They said the story revealed "Trump's secret line of communication to Russia."
Durham's report shows that Democrats continued the effort to prove the Alfa Bank link well into Trump's presidency. The report confirms the Washington Free Beacon's report that a staff member for Reed recruited an investigator bankrolled by George Soros to probe the Alfa-Trump link. Kirk McConnell, the Reed staffer, asked former FBI agent Daniel Jones in 2017 to investigate the Alfa Bank claims.
Jones formed a research firm in January 2017 after discussions with former Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and Glenn Simpson, the founder of Fusion GPS. Soros and other Democratic billionaires funded Jones's research group, the Democracy Integrity Project.

Democrats Renew Push For Cryptocurrency Regulations, Target Company That Serves As Both Exchange And Bank'
By Ben Zeisloft Nov 21, 2022 DailyWire.com
Democratic lawmakers on Monday called upon regulators to examine bank holding company SoFi Technologies, which owns a subsidiary cryptocurrency exchange.
Skepticism of the financial services company occurs after cryptocurrency platform FTX filed for bankruptcy following users' discovery that trading firm Alameda Research borrowed millions in deposits to make investments, causing a liquidity crisis. Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried controlled both companies and allowed ex-girlfriend Caroline Ellison to lead the latter.
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI), Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), and Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN), all of whom sit on the Senate Banking Committee, requested that SoFi CEO Anthony Noto provide information regarding compliance with banking law and determinations on appropriate levels of exposure to digital assets.
"Over the past year, several meltdowns in the crypto market have wiped out trillions in value, including another huge crash last week," the lawmakers said in a letter to Noto. "We are concerned that SoFi's continued nonbank digital asset trading activities pose risks to consumers and safety and soundness risks to your institution."
The Federal Reserve granted SoFi permission to operate as a national bank at the beginning of this year, noting that the company's cryptocurrency unit must be divested or brought into compliance within two years of the approval. "We are concerned that SoFi's continued impermissible digital asset activities demonstrate a failure to take seriously its regulatory commitments and to adhere to its obligations," the lawmakers added.
Bankman-Fried, whose considerable fortune disappeared overnight as the company filed for bankruptcy, is reportedly seeking $8 billion from investors to cover withdrawal requests made by customers. FTX CEO John Ray III, an attorney overseeing the company's bankruptcy proceedings who formerly represented plaintiffs harmed by the collapse of Enron, remarked in a court filing last week that he had never "seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information."
The four lawmakers sent a second letter to leadership of the Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, requesting that officials continue to "monitor" SoFi and other organizations engaged in cryptocurrency activities.
"As we saw with the crypto meltdown this summer, where crypto-assets lost over $1 trillion in value in a matter of weeks, contagion in the banking system was limited because of regulatory guardrails," the letter said. "In the event of crypto-related exposures at SoFi Digital Assets ultimately require its parent company, bank holding company, or affiliated national bank to seek emergency liquidity or other financial assistance ... taxpayers may be on the hook. Your agencies have publicly acknowledged these types of crypto-related risks."
The House Financial Services Committee is preparing to host hearings regarding the collapse of FTX next month as the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission prepare their own investigations. Beyond members of Congress, officials in the Biden administration have revealed a willingness to implement more regulations on cryptocurrencies. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said during an interview with CBS News that cryptocurrencies require "appropriate supervision and regulation," adding that the administration has identified "regulatory holes that need to be filled for this to be a space where Americans can feel safe doing business."

Senate Looks to Give Taiwan $10 Billion in Military Aid
The funds will be included in the Senate version of the 2023 NDAA
The Senate's version of the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) will include $10 billion in military aid for Taiwan, Defense News reported on Monday.
The $10 billion would be given to Taiwan over five years in the form of Foreign Military Financing (FMF), a State Department program that gives foreign governments money to purchase US weapons.
However, Taiwan will be able to use $300 million of the FMF each year to purchase military equipment from its own industrial base, a privilege only currently enjoyed by Israel. Other FMF recipients need waivers to use the funds to purchase arms that don't come from the US.
The $10 billion is a massive increase from the $4.5 billion initially proposed by Senators Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) in a piece of legislation known as the Taiwan Policy Act. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee brought the military aid up to $6.5 billion when it advanced the bill in September.
But the senators have decided to include the military aid portion of the Taiwan Policy Act in the NDAA, which was boosted to $10 billion in a bipartisan amendment added to the military spending bill by Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI).
The Taiwan Policy Act would also boost diplomatic ties with Taiwan, requires sanctions in the event of Chinese aggression, and give Taiwan the benefits of being a major non-NATO ally. But those aspects of the bill were not included in the NDAA amendment.
The Senate is expected to vote on the NDAA when Congress returns to Washington after mid-term elections in November. Once approved, the House and Senate will need to negotiate the final version that will head to President Biden's desk.
The Senate's effort to give Taiwan a massive amount of military aid comes as tensions are soaring between the US and China over the island. China's unprecedented military drills in response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) visiting Taiwan and its rhetoric over the issue make it clear that more US support for Taiwan will only make a conflict in the region more likely.

Last last month Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut highlighted a potential Javelin shortage in a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing.
He said, "The United States military has probably sent about one-third of its Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine - one-third of our supply given to them."
Further Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island warned weeks ago: "We have a significant usage rate for the Stingers that we're moving over there - Javelins, also - and we have to not only be able to help the Ukrainians, we have to maintain our stocks."
Bernie Sanders just voted YES on funding the US proxy war in Ukraine to the tune of $40 billion. So now it's officially on the record that every national politician associated with the activist "Left" is completely on board with escalating the war. That's what the "Left" is now
- Michael Tracey (@mtracey) May 19, 2022
But it seems amid the massive Ukraine money and weapons handout and euphoria, few in the administration are pausing to think about America's own defense interests as of paramount concern. This also as the Democrats have firmly established themselves as the 'pro-war' party.

n February 2011, journalist Michael Hastings reported in Rolling Stone that Lt. Colonel Michael Holmes, the supposed leader of a PSYOP group in Afghanistan, alleged that Lt. Gen. William B. Caldwell a three-star General in charge of training troops in Afghanistan, ordered Holmes and his group to perform in-depth research on visiting U.S. congressmen in order to spin presentations and visits. According to Holmes, his team was tasked with "illegally providing themes and messages to influence the people and leadership of the United States." Reported targets included United States Senators John McCain, Joe Lieberman, Jack Reed, Al Franken, Carl Levin, Rep. Steve Israel of the House Appropriations Committee; Adm. Mike Mullen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; the Czech ambassador to Afghanistan; the German interior minister, and think-tank analysts.
Under the 1948 Smith-Mundt Act, such operations may not be used to target Americans. When Holmes attempted to seek counsel and to protest, he was placed under investigation by the military at the behest of General Caldwell's chief of staff.
but this has changed, right? with the revoking of the Smith-Mundt Act the Military can now target Americans with PSYOPS
interestingly, Gen Lloyd Austin is a Mliltary PSYOP specialist and has written for instance this

WASHINGTON: "Virginia Senator Tim Kaine is pushing for legislation that could prevent the United States from leaving NATO. The bill was first introduced in 2018 by Kaine alongside Senators Jack Reed, John McCain, and Cory Gardner. It was reintroduced by Kaine and Florida Senator Marco Rubio in April of last year. Sen. Kaine says the bill would require any president to get Senate approval to leave NATO. If the president tries to leave without that approval, the bill would block any funding to enable the exit and the attempt could be brought to court.
"I think Congress sending a very clear and bipartisan, bicameral message that we're strongly supporting NATO and that no president would ever be able to withdraw from NATO, absent approval by the Senate or Congress would be a reassurance and additional level of reassurance to our NATO allies," Kaine said.
Kaine explained that the Constitution allows for the President to negotiate or enter a treaty and the treaty must be approved by a two-thirds vote by the Senate. He argues there is no guidance for how the United States exits a treaty. He went on to explain that this bill would not be applicable to all treaties but only to the Washington Treaty, formerly known as the North Atlantic Treaty which NATO is named after.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 21 to 1 to pass the bill which is now headed to the Senate floor."

Congress Just Gave Itself A 21 Percent Pay Raise With Pork-Packed Omnibus Bill While Surging Gas Prices, Inflation Hurt Americans
As Americans face an economic crisis, historic inflation and surging gas prices, Congress released a $1.5 trillion omnibus bill on Wednesday allocating $5.9 billion of fiscal 2022 Legislative Branch funding to boosting the allowance and salaries of their staff.
The legislation would grant $774.4 million for the Members Representational Allowance, which funds the House budges for lawmakers, including staffer salaries and $1.7 billion for House operations.
"This $134.4 million, or 21 percent, boost over the previous fiscal year marks the largest increase in the MRA appropriation since it was authorized in 1996, according to a bill summary by the House Appropriations Committee," Roll Call reports.
The bill does not technically provide a raise for members of Congress, who earn an annual salary of $174,000. But House staffers, who members use to run errands, and family members of Congressional lawmakers who are often put on payroll, will see a pay increase.
The measure would provide the Senate with $1.1 billion for salaries and operations and $7 million for Senate intern salaries.
The Capitol Police department would also receive $602.5 million, $87 million more than it was provided in the 2021 fiscal year.
"This bill is essential to keeping our democracy and the legislative branch of government functioning in a safe and accessible manner," Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., chair of the Legislative Branch Appropriations Subcommittee, said in a statement. "At a time when the U.S. Capitol and the Capitol Police continue to operate amidst immense challenges, this agreement ensures they have the resources and staffing to protect the Capitol complex."
The 2,741-page omnibus spending package is also loaded with pork, funding pet projects for lawmakers. Sens.
A list of all the earmarks attached to the bill spans 367 pages.
Massachusetts Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey secured $995,000 for "Grid Resilience and Equity in the Energy Transition" research at the University of Massachusetts, allowing the left to redistribute taxpayer dollars to fix alleged inequality in the energy system, the Heritage Foundation reports. Markey and Warren also a $500,000 earmark for Worcester State University to increase diversity and inclusion for STEM students to study climate change. Rhode Island Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed secured $1.6 million of federal taxpayer funding for Roger Williams University for the "development of equitable growth of shellfish aquaculture in Rhode Island."
The massive spending bill is heading to Joe Biden's desk after the Senate cleared it late Thursday on a 68-31 vote.
Meanwhile, surging inflation is hitting all sectors of the economy. While the inflation rate was at 1.4 percent when Joe Biden entered the White House, the inflation rate soared to 7.9 percent in February, the highest level since 1982. Gas prices reached $4.25 a gallon on Wednesday, up from about $2.86 per gallon a year ago. Filling a 20-gallon tank now costs $85, up from $57.20 last year at this time. Inflation is costing the average household $276 more per month, or about $1,100 per quarter, according to a recent report by Moody's Analytics.

Joe Biden Sides with Chinese Solar Manufacturers Evading U.S. Tariffs
President Joe Biden's Department of Commerce has sided with Chinese solar manufacturers who produce in Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, denying a request to investigate the manufacturers for evading United States tariffs on Chinese products.
This week, the Biden administration crushed a campaign by American solar manufacturers to ensure tariffs were imposed on products made by Chinese solar manufacturers who have shifted their production to other nearby foreign countries to avoid U.S. tariffs.
"The Commerce Department's unwillingness to investigate illegal circumvention by Chinese solar companies is a gift to the Chinese Communist Party that comes at the expense of American companies and American workers," Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) CEO Michael Stumo said in a statement:
President Biden promised to create 10 million green new jobs. Instead, this decision ensures that China's use of Uyghur forced labor in Xinjiang to manufacture polysilicon will continue. The Biden administration claims to want to Build Back Better and boost U.S. domestic manufacturing but a decision like this that only benefits the Chinese Communist Party is a serious red flag that the Build Back Better initiative is nothing more than a slogan. [Emphasis added]
The American Solar Manufacturers Against Chinese Circumvention, made up of a number of domestic manufacturers, filed a petition in August, asking the Biden administration to review whether Chinese solar manufacturers were illegally avoiding tariffs by moving production to Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Biden had been lobbied by 12 Senate Democrats who sent a letter asking the administration not to impose any tariffs on the products made in Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam by the Chinese solar manufacturers.
"New tariffs on solar products from these three countries would stall many ongoing and planned U.S. solar projects, negatively impacting every segment of the U.S. solar industry and resulting in significant job losses," the Senate Democrats wrote.
Those who signed the letter include Sens. Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Tom Carper (D-DE), Angus King (D-ME), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Jack Reed (D-RI), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Tim Kaine (D-VA), and John Hickenlooper (D-CO).

Q Research General #18782: Let's Go Baldwin
Congress Faces Decision on Military Justice Overhaul
Lawmakers are poised to finally overhaul the military justice system in an attempt to ease an epidemic of sexual assaults following years of failed Pentagon efforts, though it remains to be seen how far they will go.
Both the House and Senate have proposed changes to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, or UCMJ, meant to reduce the violence through a new legal process that eliminates influence on prosecutions by commanders. The two chambers are aiming to put legislation in the annual must-pass defense policy bill.
But only the Senate supports broader changes that would remove all felony-level crimes, not just sex crimes, from the chain of command. The more extensive reforms are backed by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a New York Democrat who has pushed to remove command influence from sex assault prosecutions for years.
House Armed Services Committee Chairman Adam Smith, D-Wash., told Military.com this week he believes the various camps are already narrowing their differences, based partly on talks with Gillibrand, and an agreement may be near.
"We're all moving towards getting sexual assault cases and all sex crimes out of the hands of the commander and into the hands of a special prosecutor," Smith added. "And I think we're pretty close on getting an agreement on the details."
But Gillibrand said in an interview with Military.com that she is concerned that the leaders of Congress' armed services committees four white men still could nix some of her proposals when they eventually negotiate a final bill behind closed doors later this year.
As part of the annual defense bill process, a final compromise version will be hammered out by Smith; Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Jack Reed, D-R.I.; House Armed Services Committee ranking member Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala.; and Senate Armed Services Committee ranking member Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla.
"We have the vast majority of senators who support our provision," Gillibrand said. "But again, once those doors are closed, and four men will be in conference, they will make their own judgments, and I will not be in that room to fight for survivors or fight for this preferred reform."

Q Research General #18532: TRUMP WINS 2020 BRACE FOR IMPACT Edition
>>14651345
part 2
The revelation that a committee led by the Republican McCain and Democratic Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island engaged a nonprofit with significant partisan ties is certain to reverberate in Washington and further the GOP narrative that the Russia collusion allegations were more a political dirty trick than a legitimate counterintelligence concern. Mueller concluded there was no evidence Trump and Russia colluded to hiJack the 2016 election.
Before his death in 2018, McCain was an ardent opponent of Trump, his own party's president, and famously gave a copy of the Steele dossier to the FBI in late 2016, an act the 45th president long has condemned as a betrayal.
Republicans on the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday deferred questions to the panel's Democratic press secretary, Cole Stevens, who did not respond to a call seeking comment Thursday. Reed took over as committee chairman earlier this year.
A source, who has worked on the committee both when it was run by McCain and now by Reed, told Just the News that the committee was still searching for records to explain the exact nature of the relationship with Jones and TDIP. The source said Reed enjoyed a good working relationship with McCain and current Republican ranking member Sen. Jim Inhofe and that it would be unlikely for Reed's staff to have done such work in 2017 and 2018 without GOP colleagues on the panel knowing about it.
Likewise, a contractor who worked with Jones and TDIP told Just the News he believed both McCain's Republican team as well as Reed's Democratic staff were aware of the research arrangement. The person, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, said the work stretched out for nearly 18 months from March 2017 to October 2018.
Jones is a respected former FBI analyst who also worked for the Senate Intelligence Committee before starting The Democracy Integrity Project or TDIP in 2017. The group was designed in part to pick up the work started under the Clinton campaign by Fusion GPS and former MI-6 agent Christopher Steele seeking to link Trump to Russia collusion. Its tax filings show it raised $7 million in 2017 to start its work.
A Soros spokesman told The Hill in 2019 that the billionaire philanthropist wrote a sizable check from his personal funds in fall 2017 to TDIP in hopes it would continue "investigation and research into foreign interference in American elections and European elections." That spokesman said Soros later learned that Fusion and Steele, who had previously worked for the Clinton campaign, had done some work for TDIP.
According to the new court records obtained by Just the News, the Senate Armed Services Committee asked Jones and TDIP to investigate the Trump-Alfa allegations. His point of contact with the committee was McConnell, a staffer for Reed, who was then the ranking member on the committee.
Jones spent "more than a year rigorously analyzing" the data to produce a 687-page research paper, an abridged version of which is an exhibit in the filing. He wasn't paid by the Senate for his work, which according to one congressional ethics expert could raise red flags under Senate ethics rules.
Generally speaking, the gift rule prohibits in-kind donation of services along with other things of value," said Jason Foster, a former investigator on Sen. Charles Grassley's staff and the current president of Empower Oversight, an organization supporting government whistleblowers. "The facts described in the filing - particularly that TDIP 'retained computer science experts to examine the data,' following a request from a Senate staffer and then provided the results of that analysis at no charge - raise questions about whether that arrangement was evaluated and approved by the Ethics Committee."
Last week, Durham's special counsel investigation made public evidence suggesting the Alfa Bank story had been concocted to frame Trump as a Russian agent. In his 27-page indictment of Sussmann, Durham included emails between the former DOJ official and computer experts. The purpose of their research was to "give the base of a very useful narrative." The indictment alleged Sussmann brought the allegation to the FBI in September 2016 even after his team expressed concerns it was a "red herring."
According to Steele, the British ex-spy who disseminated a notorious dossier falsely alleging Trump ties to Russian officials, Sussmann relayed the Alfa Bank allegations to him and Glenn Simpson, cofounder of Fusion GPS, in a summer 2016 meeting. Subsequently, Sussmann, Steele, and Simpson began to relay the Trump-Alfa story to U.S. officials and the press.

Chuck Ross - September 21, 2021 3:55 pm
Senate Democrats tapped a political operative bankrolled by George Soros to investigate debunked allegations that President Donald Trump colluded with Russia, claims that are now at the center of an indictment in Special Counsel John Durham's investigation.
According to court filings, a staffer for Sen. Jack Reed (D., R.I.) enlisted Daniel Jones-a former FBI agent who has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from Soros-to analyze computer data that purportedly connected Trump's real estate company with the Russian oligarch-owned Alfa Bank. Democrats pushed the allegation and others about Trump and Russia to build a narrative that Trump's campaign colluded with the Kremlin to steal the 2016 election. The FBI disproved the Alfa Bank claim, and Special Counsel Robert Mueller found no evidence of a larger Trump-Russia conspiracy.
The Alfa Bank allegation has resurfaced in the wake of Durham's indictment of Michael Sussmann, a cybersecurity attorney who represented the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee. A federal grand jury indicted Sussmann on Sept. 16 on charges that he lied to the FBI about his efforts to investigate the purported Alfa-Trump links. Sussmann provided research to the FBI's general counsel on Sept. 19, 2016, which he claimed showed that Alfa Bank's computer servers had secret communications with the Trump Organization. Durham was appointed in April 2019 to investigate whether any U.S. officials improperly surveilled the Trump campaign.
Jones, a former FBI agent, has reportedly been called to testify before Durham's grand jury in Washington. Best known as the Senate Intelligence Committee staffer who investigated CIA torture of suspected terrorists, Jones formed a nonprofit research group in January 2017 to investigate Trump's alleged ties to Russia.
George Soros and other wealthy progressives have funded Jones's operation. Tax filings show that Soros gave $1.5 million to Jones's group, the Democracy Integrity Project, in 2017 and 2018. Television producer Norman Lear has also contributed to a related group formed by Jones called Advance Democracy, Inc. Jones worked closely with opposition research firm Fusion GPS and former British spy Christopher Steele, who compiled a largely discredited dossier accusing Trump of colluding with Russia. Jones's organizations paid Fusion GPS more than $5 million and Steele more than $1 million for research in 2017 and 2018, according to tax filings.

Senate Armed Services Committee To Hold Open Hearings With Secretary Austin, Gen. Milley And Gen. McKenzie
The Senate Armed Services Committee announced Thursday it will hold open hearings on President Joe Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan and is asking for sworn testimony from Secretary Lloyd Austin, Gen. Mark Milley and Gen. Kenneth McKenzie.
Republican Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Democratic Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed, the chairman of the committee, sent out a press release with the dates of the hearings and released separate statements. The Daily Caller first reported Wednesday that a group of Senate Republicans sent a letter to Reed demanding he hold hearings on Biden's withdrawal and asking for sworn testimony from Austin, Milley, McKenzie and Gen. Scott Miller.
The letter was signed by nine other Republicans. In it, they called on Reed to schedule committee hearings so they can examine Biden and his administration's handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan after 13 U.S. service members were killed in a terror attack at the Kabul airport.
In the Thursday announcement, Reed said it is Congress's job to provide oversight and examine what decisions were made in pulling out of Afghanistan.
"Although we have completed the withdrawal of American military personnel and over 100,000 civilians from Afghanistan, I remain deeply concerned about the events that accompanied our withdrawal and the ongoing humanitarian crisis. It is the duty of Congress-and the Senate Armed Services Committee in particular-to hold hearings to learn lessons from the situation in Afghanistan and ensure accountability at the highest levels," Reed said.

Proposed 'Air and Space Guard' Would Stop Space Force from Getting its Own Component
Sabotage of Space Force
Lawmakers have proposed changing the name of the U.S. Air Force's military reserve force, signaling that creating a separate reserve component for the Space Force is likely off the table.
In its markup of the fiscal 2022 National Defense Authorization legislation, the Senate Armed Services Committee put forward a proposal to change the name of the Air National Guard to the "Air and Space National Guard," according to a summary of the bill text released Thursday.
The language comes as key leaders, including Gen. Daniel Hokanson, chief of the National Guard Bureau, have been advocating to Congress about the need for a part-time volunteer force within the Space Force.

Top officials sought to create a Space Force National Guard almost immediately after the sixth military branch was founded in 2019. Leaders from the Air Force and Space Force last month said they had completed a study required by the 2021 NDAA detailing how best to organize Guard and Reserve personnel within the Space Force, and said the study would soon advance to lawmakers despite its original March deadline.
Nearly 2,000 personnel across 14 National Guard units with space-related missions are located in California, Alaska, Hawaii, Florida, Colorado, Ohio, New York and Guam. Arkansas also has one unit with a space-focused targeting mission. In February 2020, the adjutants general of California, Alaska, Hawaii, Florida and Colorado made a case that their Guardsmen, who already do extensive work on offensive and defensive space missions, should report directly to the Space Force.
According to its budget request, the National Guard provides 60% of the Space Force's offensive electronic warfare capability. Roughly 11% of the Defense Department's space personnel are Guardsmen, Hokanson told lawmakers in May.
Air Force Gen. Joseph Lengyel, Hokanson's predecessor, also called for the National Guard's space units to converge under the Space Force. But the proposal was met with indifference or, in some cases, with increased scrutiny.
Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told reporters in February that committee members would "consider" the results of the organizational study when planning for the NDAA legislation.
Rep. Betty McCollum, a Minnesota Democrat and chair of the House Defense Appropriations panel, questioned the funding necessary to create a Space Guard.
"I'm looking forward to a breakdown on how much this is going to cost to set up a Reserve and a Guard Space Force," she told Hokanson during the May hearing.

Speaking of Drafts
Women Would Be Forced to Register for Draft under New Democratic Proposal
Senate Democrats are proposing a landmark change to the nation's military laws that would require young women to register for Selective Service, thereby making them eligible for being drafted into war, according to Politico.
Under the current requirement, men must register with the Selective Service System upon reaching the age of 18. Selective Service keeps a list of all men ages 18-25 eligible for the draft.
But proposed language authored by Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) would expand registration for the service to "All Americans," according to Politico. Reed is chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The proposal could be considered this week during a committee hearing.
The proposal by Reed would "reignite a contentious debate over whether women should be required to register for the draft," Politico said. Democrats control both chambers of Congress.
The proposal mirrors the recommendation of an 11-person commission created by Congress that released its final report in March 2020 but was overshadowed by the growing pandemic. That report said the "time is right" to "extend Selective Service System registration to include men and women."
"This is a necessary and fair step, making it possible to draw on the talent of a unified Nation in a time of national emergency," the report said.
Reed's proposal sparked plenty of pushback on social media.
"No. You are not drafting our daughters," tweeted Russ Vought, a former Trump administration official who is now the president of the Center for Renewing America.

American women to be forced to register for military DRAFT, according to revision planned by Senate Democrats - media
https://www.rt.com/usa/529670-us-women-military-draft/
US Senate Democrats are reportedly preparing to overhaul the nation's military Selective Service System to require that all Americans, including women, be required to register for the draft.
Senator Jack Reed (D-Rhode Island), chairman of the Armed Services Committee, has authored legislation expanding the registration requirement to include women, Politico reported on Monday, citing a copy of the bill. The current registration mandate applies only to males, when they reach 18, and carries potential fines or imprisonment for violators.
The legislation may be attached to the National Defense Authorization Act, meaning it could become a trading chip as lawmakers push back and forth on a must-pass bill through which Congress oversees military policy and budgeting.
Although the US hasn't conscripted soldiers through a draft since 1973, the inclusion of women in the Selective Service System is controversial. The Obama administration opened all combat roles to women in 2015, despite a Marine Corps study that showed female troops underperformed males and were more than twice as likely to be injured.

Spy chiefs look to declassify intel after rare plea from 4-star commanders
America's top spies say they are looking for ways to declassify and release more intelligence about adversaries' bad behavior, after a group of four-star military commanders sent a rare and urgent plea asking for help in the information war against Russia and China.
A host of troubling actions from those two countries - including efforts to damage America's relationships with allies and to violate other countries' sovereignty - mean the Intelligence Community must do more to show the world what Russia and China are doing, according to the commanders.
The memo from nine regional military commanders last year implored spy agencies to give them more evidence they can make public as a way to combat "pernicious conduct."
Only by "waging the truth in the public domain against America's 21st century challengers" can Washington shore up support from American allies, they said. But efforts to compete in the battle of ideas, they added, are hamstrung by overly stringent secrecy practices.
"We request this help to better enable the US, and by extension its allies and partners, to win without fighting, to fight now in so-called gray zones, and to supply ammunition in the ongoing war of narratives," the commanders who oversee U.S. military forces in Asia, Europe, Africa, Latin America, as well as special operations troops, wrote to then-acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire last January.
"Unfortunately, we continue to miss opportunities to clarify truth, counter distortions, puncture false narratives, and influence events in time to make a difference," they added.
The memo, which was reviewed by POLITICO and has not been made public, made waves inside the Pentagon, the Intelligence Community, and on Capitol Hill over the past year, where it has come to be known as the "36-star memo." It wasn't a command or an ultimatum; rather, it implored the Intelligence Community to make big changes.
The fact that it was signed by nine of the 11 four-star combatant commanders - all but one of whom are still in uniform - is nearly unheard of, said multiple government officials familiar with the memo who said it underscored an unusual level of alarm among the top brass. The top leaders for U.S. Central Command and Cyber Command did not sign.
The letter was organized by Adm. Phil Davidson, the outgoing head of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, and was also signed by Gen. Jay Raymond, who at the time was commander of U.S. Space Command but is now head of the Space Force and a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Spokespeople for Davidson and Raymond declined to comment on the memo or their concerns.
Need for speed
A number of current and former national security officials told POLITICO that the efforts now underway are moving too slowly.
"I know this frustrates many of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle - and we need to get better at fighting in this space," he added. "Our adversaries like to operate in the shadows, and the best way to combat them is to call out their lies."
"I would expect the combatant commanders to ask for more from the IC on how the adversaries are using information for operational advantage," said Sue Gordon, a career intelligence official who retired in 2019 after becoming ODNI's second-most senior official.
But America also has a major advantage against China and Russia, said Sen. Jack Reed, who chairs the Armed Services Committee. "The truth is on our side and we need to do a better job of illuminating and exposing these activities."

Democrats Introduce Gun Registration Bill - The First Step in Gun Confiscation Laws
Joseph Stalin's firearms registration and confiscation was a tremendous success for the Socialist state.
Under the Tsar, Russia was one of the most heavily armed societies on earth. That all changed when Stalin and the communists took control. Stalin was able to control, starve, punish and imprison a defenseless people... after he took their guns. (Zinnfigur)
This video is a shocking reminder on how Stalin was able to control, starve, punish and imprison a defenseless people.
It's no secret that Democrats are hoping to repeat this history here in the United States.
NOTE: Google-YouTube censored this video because of its content. They obviously support gun confiscation.
Earlier today Sen. Bob Menendez and Castro Rep. Barbara Lee introduced the Gun Records Restoration and Preservation Act.
The legislation, signed by a number of fellow Democrats, allows the FBI and ATF to collect, preserve and disclose gun records to state officials and members of the public.
This is the first step in gun confiscation.
Only the criminals will have guns.
U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-Calif.-13) today reintroduced the Gun Records Restoration and Preservation Act. This bicameral legislation would repeal the Tiahrt Amendments - provisions that severely hamstring law enforcement's ability to solve and prosecute gun crimes, stop illegal gun trafficking and hold negligent gun dealers and owners accountable, while also providing special protections to the gun industry that compromise public safety. The bill has been cosponsored by Sens. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.)...
...The Gun Records Restoration and Preservation Act would repeal current provisions that prohibit the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) from collecting, preserving and disclosing gun records and gun-tracing data to cities, states, researchers, litigants, and members of the public. Aside from enhancing law enforcement's ability to investigate and solve gun crimes, the bill would provide researchers with access to data to study gun violence and its impact on communities, and develop a more holistic understanding of how guns get transferred from legitimate firearm sellers to criminals.
The bill is supported by Brady, Giffords, Everytown for Gun Safety, and Moms Demand Action.

Fort Hood Restricts Base Access After Shooting Incident
Army officials at Fort Hood, Texas tightened the base's gate security to restrict access after an on-base shooting early Saturday morning.
No one was injured in the shooting, but Fort Hood has suspended its Trusted Traveler Program that allowed military personnel with valid military identification to "escort or vouch for adult passengers … in their vehicle," according to a Fort Hood news release.
The shooting occurred at approximately 12:50 a.m. in a parking lot on base, another news release states.
The shooter is suspected to be a former soldier, who was "socializing with current soldiers when he fired a pistol," according to the release.
"The suspect was immediately disarmed and apprehended without further incident," according to the release that added that the suspect is now in military police custody. "This was an isolated and rapidly resolved incident."
Fort Hood officials say there is "no ongoing threat," but moved Saturday evening to restrict access to the base, according to the release.
Fort Hood's suspension of its Trusted Traveler Program comes one day after officials at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland imposed similar access restrictions after a male with outstanding arrest warrants trespassed onto the base and boarded an Air Force C-40 Clipper aircraft before being apprehended.
"In recent weeks, the III Corps commanding general initiated a review of installation access authorization – entering Fort Hood is a privilege not a right," Fort Hood spokesman Col. Myles Caggins III told Military.com in a statement. "Also, a review of post access policy for former soldiers who were separated for misconduct is underway. Our priority is the safety and security of the soldiers, families, civilians, and community members who work, live, and play at Fort Hood."
Fort Hood became the subject of national news coverage last year following the disappearance and death of Spc. Vanessa Guillen, a 3rd Cavalry Regiment soldier who was murdered by a fellow unit member.
Guillen, along with the deaths of other Fort Hood soldiers, prompted then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy to order an independent review of the command climate at Hood, which found that the leadership at the base had allowed a culture of sexual harassment and assault to fester. As a result, the Army fired or suspended 14 leaders at the base.
The Army also created a special task force to implement the independent review's 70 recommendations, some of them focused on Hood and others for the entire Army. The task force briefed the Senate Armed Services Committee in a close-door meeting on Thursday.
"It's going to take real leadership to fix the problems at Fort Hood and throughout the Army," committee Chairman Jack Reed, D-R.I., and ranking member Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., said in a joint statement following the hearing.
"What we heard today gives us hope but hope alone isn't enough. We look forward to working with the task force and leadership at DoD to solve these troubling issues once and for all."

Democrats Attempt to Purge Civil Servant from Job over Prior Work for Nunes, Trump Administration
Democrats are attempting a politically-motivated purge of a highly-qualified intelligence professional from a non-partisan career civil service position at the Pentagon's National Security Agency over his prior work for Republicans, according to two former Trump administration officials.
Michael Ellis, who last served as the former senior director for intelligence on the National Security Council during the Trump administration, was put on administrative leave from his new position as the general counsel at the National Security Agency, just hours after President Joe Biden was inaugurated.
Ellis - a Navy Reserve intelligence officer, Yale Law School graduate, and Jeopardy! winner - had first applied for the position in January 2020, and went through an extensive months-long vetting process conducted by a panel of non-partisan civil servants, according to the two former officials.
Ellis was ultimately selected for the position in mid-November by Paul Ney, the Pentagon's general counsel whose first job at the department came during the George W. Bush administration as the Navy's principal deputy general counsel.
He started his position on Tuesday, January 19.
However, recent news reports revealed that a day later, on Inauguration Day, NSA Director Army Gen. Paul Nakasone placed Ellis on administrative leave, pending the outcome of an inquiry by the Department of Defense inspector general into the circumstances his hiring.
It is no secret that Democrat lawmakers for months opposed Ellis going from an appointed position in the Trump administration to a non-partisan civil service position in the government - a practice commonly referred to as "burrowing in."
Just days after Ellis's selection for the position was announced in November, Democrat Sens. Mark Warner (VA) and Jack Reed (RI) requested the Pentagon inspector general investigate his hiring, according to CNN.
-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) also wrote a letter to former acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller three days before the inauguration asking him to "cease plans to improperly install" Ellis at the NSA.
-And House intelligence committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) went on CBS News's Face the Nation that same day to claim that the Trump administration was attempting to "embed people in the civil servants who are political and partisan actors who don't belong there."
-The former officials also pointed to Democrat-friendly media targeting Ellis, noting a January 13 article by Lawfare's executive editor, Susan Hennessee, on how to get rid of Ellis.
-But those who know Ellis well say he is highly-qualified for the position and Democrats are attempting to purge him purely for political reasons, despite their calls for "unity" and their numerous accusations against the Trump administration of political purges and loyalty tests of civil servants.
One of the two former officials said:
-Michael is an outstanding guy and he's known for being a straight shooter. My understanding is that the [hiring] process worked the way it was supposed to, that this process has been ongoing since early 2020, and Michael interviewed with a panel of career lawyers who found that he was completely qualified for the job.
-"The double standard and hypocrisy is truly outstanding. I've heard from people who are moderates who have come out and said, 'This is insane, I can't believe they're doing this to him."
-Prior to that, he had served as the general counsel on the House intelligence committee under then-chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA). Ellis had worked on the committee since 2015, and before that had worked as counsel for the committee's previous chairman, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) from 2013 to 2015.
-The two former officials said Ellis actually had a good working relationship with Schiff for many years on the intelligence committee.
-"It's interesting that Adam Schiff comes out full-on on Michael Ellis when Michael was always good to Schiff," the first former official said.
-"That's one aspect of this that's particularly unfortunate," the second former official said. "He's kicking a former staffer who he knows is well-qualified and who he worked collaboratively with. Talk about punching down.
-"This vendetta that Schiff and Pelosi have for Nunes - I disagree with it, but I get it. But this is really kicking down at somebody's who is a very capable and dedicated professional and has a family to provide for," the former official added.
-"It just shows the contrast of Biden talking about Kumbaya and everybody getting along and unity [and] what the left will do literally within hours of them getting power."

(excerpt)
The acting secretary of defense is trying to install a Trump loyalist as the top lawyer at the National Security Agency, according to three sources familiar.
Christopher Miller, who just two days earlier said he couldn't wait to leave his job, ordered the head of the NSA to install Michael Ellis as general counsel by 6 p.m., Saturday, but NSA Director Gen. Paul Nakasone did not act by the given deadline, leaving it unclear what Miller or the White House would do.
Ellis was first tapped for the position in early November, just two days after Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election and in the midst of a political purge of different agencies, including the Department of Defense.
The Pentagon declined to comment. This story was first reported by the Washington Post.
But Ellis' installation stalled, according to the Washington Post, because of administrative procedures, including the need for a polygraph test, leaving Miller to push for it in the waning days of Trump's four years in office.
Within days of Ellis' being picked for the job in November, which came shortly after President Donald Trump fired then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper via Twitter, Democratic Sens. Mark Warner and Jack Reed requested an investigation from the Pentagon's acting inspector general, saying in a letter, "The combination of timing, comparative lack of experience of the candidate, the reported qualifications of the other finalists, and press accounts of White House involvement create a perception that political influence or considerations may have played an undue role in a merit-based civil service selection process."
Before joining the Trump administration, Ellis served as the head counsel to California Rep. Devin Nunes, one of Trump's staunchest supporters.

DoD spends millions on protecting bases from climate change but fails to track program impact, report says
Hey Chris Miller, Ezra and Kash get this bullshit under control, why have they been acknowledging climate change is a problem? Now we have a bunch of pussies in the military, GREAT!
The Defense Department doled out tens of millions of dollars this year to help bases vulnerable to flooding, hurricanes and wildfires work with their surrounding communities on projects that would prevent damage, but according to the Government Accountability Office, there's nothing in place to evaluate whether the programs are working.
In fiscal year 2020, that meant roughly $67 million in grants through the Compatible Use Plan, the Military Installation Resilience program and the Defense Community Infrastructure Pilot, according to a report released Dec. 10.
While DoD keeps track of where the money goes and what is supposed to be done with it, the report found it "has no developed performance measures to benchmark and track overall program performance," making it difficult for Congress and the Pentagon to decide whether and how to continue to fund the programs.
Projects include upgrades to roads and bridges to protect them from flooding and erosion, as well as protecting medical facilities and utilities like electricity and water in the event of not only flooding, but wildfires and other extreme weather events.
For the last decade, DoD has acknowledged climate change as a threat to the readiness of its installations, particularly waterfront Navy and Marine Corps bases, which could face more and more frequent flooding as seal levels continue to rise.
Soldiers at Fort Benning being trained to become Infantrymen make use of immersion troughs filled with ice and water, allowing troops a quick way to cool their bodies during rigorous training in the Georgia heat.
Grant programs, which provide funding for DoD to work with the communities around their installations to secure infrastructure, have been part of the response to more extreme weather conditions and their threats to readiness, but the GAO found that there are no mechanisms within those programs to evaluate what's working and what isn't once a project has been planned and funded to completion.
"With the department's investment in these programs growing, it is important that there be reliable ways to assess program outcomes" according to the report, which was addressed to Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, which called for the GAO to study the grants.
GAO recommended that the defense secretary's office establish a system to evaluate performance for the grant programs in a "clear, quantifiable and objective" manner.
DoD, in its official response, concurred with GAO's recommendations, but also pushed back, writing that in its way, they do try to measure the "effectiveness" of the projects they fund.
In a letter sent by the assistant defense secretary for sustainment, W. Jordan Gillis, he made the case the the benefits of the projects often become apparent after they're complete, requiring significant time to follow up after the fact in order to conduct a review of performance. What might be considered a success can also vary by project and installation, he added.
His office would continue to work with the GAO and the Office of Economic Adjustment, he said, to hammer out applicable performance metrics and apply them to projects, he said.

Trump raises China concerns as reason to veto defense bill
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump offered a new rationale Sunday for threatening to veto the annual defense policy bill that covers the military's budget for equipment and pay raises for service members: China. He did not outline his concerns.
Republican and Democratic lawmakers say the wide-ranging defense policy bill, which the Senate sent to the president on Friday, would be tough on China and must become law as soon as possible.
Both the House and Senate passed the measure by margins large enough to override a potential veto from the president, who has a history of failing to carry out actions he has threatened.
"The biggest winner of our new defense bill is China! I will veto!" Trump said in a new tweet.
The White House did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment on Trump's specific concerns about China.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has said the bill would help deter Chinese aggression. Other GOP backers of the measure, including Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, the second-ranking Senate leader, and Rep. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, have tweeted that the bill would counter threats from countries such as China.
Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said Trump's declaration that China is the biggest winner in the defense bill is false. Reed also noted the shifting explanations Trump has given for the veto threats.
"President Trump clearly hasn't read the bill, nor does he understand what's in it," Reed said. "There are several bipartisan provisions in here that get tougher on China than the Trump Administration has ever been."
A potential override of a veto would be a first for Trump and would come not long before he leaves office Jan. 20. A two-thirds vote is needed in each chamber for the bill to become law without Trump's signature. The president has made numerous threats over Twitter to veto the bill over a requirement that military bases honoring Confederate leaders eventually be renamed. He also threatened a veto to try to force lawmakers to include provisions - unrelated to the military and national defense - to punish social media companies he claims were biased against him during the election.

Massive $740 billion legislation includes provisions to block troop drawdowns in Afghanistan and Germany
On Sunday, President Trump repeated his threat to veto the $740 billion 2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) after the massive spending bill was passed through both chambers of Congress.
The president wrote on Twitter: "THE BIGGEST WINNER OF OUR NEW DEFENSE BILL IS CHINA! I WILL VETO!"
It's not clear what aspect of the NDAA Trump thinks is a gift to China. The 4,517-page bill includes multiple sections that call for evaluations of Beijing's activities in Taiwan, Xinjiang, the cyber-realm, space, and other areas. Members of Congress were quick to point out how "tough" the bill is on China.
"President Trump clearly hasn't read the bill, nor does he understand what's in it," Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) said in response to Trump's tweet. "There are several bipartisan provisions in here that get tougher on China than the Trump Administration has ever been."
Trump's main gripe with the $740 billion legislation is that it does not include an amendment to repeal Section 230, a law that gives tech platforms immunity from liability over the content published by third party users.
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) delayed a vote on the NDAA last week over an amendment that seeks to block troop drawdowns in Afghanistan. The amendment would require reports from the State Department, Pentagon, and DNI over the impact the withdrawals would have on US national security.
The assessment would be required as soon as the NDAA becomes law. Assessments would also be required when troop numbers go below 4,000, and again at 2,000. The Trump administration is currently carrying out a plan to bring numbers down to 2,500 by January 15th.
The NDAA also includes an amendment to block a planned troop drawdown from Germany. The Trump administration ordered the Pentagon to take about 12,000 troops out of Germany of the approximately 34,500 stationed there. The amendment would not allow troops to leave the country until 120 days after the Pentagon submitted a report to Congress on the drawdown.
President Trump has until December 23rd to decide on the bill. If he goes through with a veto, it would likely still become law since both the House and Senate passed the NDAA with well over the two-thirds majority needed to override a veto.

Biden selects Susan Rice to lead Domestic Policy Council, McDonough for Veterans Affairs
President-elect Joe Biden has selected Susan Rice, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, to lead the White House Domestic Policy Council, and is nominating Denis McDonough as secretary of Veterans Affairs, the transition announced on Thursday.
"The roles they will take on are where the rubber meets the road - where competent and crisis-tested governance can make a meaningful difference in people's lives, enhancing the dignity, equity, security, and prosperity of the day-to-day lives of Americans," Biden said in the statement.
Rice also previously served as national security adviser during the Obama administration, and will now direct the Domestic Policy Council, a unit with broad purview over Biden's domestic agenda, including health, immigration and education policy. The role does not require Senate confirmation.
McDonough, who served as deputy national security adviser and later White House chief of staff under former President Obama, will need to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate in order to lead the sprawling Department of Veterans Affairs, an agency that has for years attracted public scrutiny as a result of management issues.
McDonough received swift praise from Democrats. Sen. Jack Reed (R.I.), the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, called McDonough an "outstanding pick to lead the VA."
"Denis is a principled, professional patriot and a great supporter of veterans. A former White House Chief of Staff, he is a distinguished public servant who brings the experience, skill, and leadership to be effective in this new post," Reed said in a statement.
Biden also officially announced other appointments and nominations, including Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) as his nominee for secretary of Housing and Urban Development; Katherine Tai, a trade lawyer for the House Ways and Means Committee, as his nominee for U.S. trade representative; and Tom Vilsack as his nominee to serve as secretary of Agriculture, a role that Vilsack will reprise from his time serving in the Obama administration.
The announcements of Rice and McDonough in particular underscore the degree to which Biden is leaning on officials with deep experience who worked with one another during the Obama administration.

Congress advances defense bill, bucking Trump's veto threats
WASHINGTON - Congress is moving ahead with its annual defense policy bill without repealing a prized legal shield for social media companies, testing President Donald Trump's threat to veto the bill.
The compromise version of the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act does not include legislative language addressing the protections, enshrined in Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, three congressional aides confirmed Wednesday.
"We worked hard to craft a bipartisan defense bill that actually focuses on national defense. It would be irresponsible of President Trump to hold the well-being of our troops hostage because he doesn't like what's trending on Twitter." Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement to Defense News.
Section 230?s protections have served as a bedrock for unfettered speech on the internet, but Trump and other politicians, including Democrats (though for different reasons than Republicans) argue that Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms have abused that protection and should lose their immunity from lawsuits.
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Jim Inhofe. R-Okla., reportedly said that while he agrees with Trump on Section 230, the provision "has nothing to do with the military."
"You can't do it in this bill. That's not a part of the bill," Inhofe told Politico, adding that he has conveyed that belief to Trump.
The bill finalized Wednesday contains language requiring several bases named after Confederate leaders be renamed, something Trump previously threatened to veto, according to an aide to Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who crafted the Senate version of the renaming provision.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., plan to bring the defense authorization bill for a vote in both chambers, Bloomberg Government reported. The Senate on Wednesday morning agReed to proceed to conference on the defense bill by unanimous consent.

Ranking Members Klobuchar, Warner, Reed, and Peters Press Election Equipment Manufacturers on Security
March 27, 2019
Intelligence Agencies have confirmed that our election systems are a target for foreign adversaries, yet election vendors continue to sell equipment with known vulnerabilities
The Ranking Members of the Senate Rules, Intelligence, Armed Services, and Homeland Security Committees are requesting information about the security of voting systems
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Ranking Member of the Senate Rules Committee with oversight jurisdiction over federal elections, sent a letter to the country's three largest election system vendors with questions to help inform the best way to move forward to strengthen the security of our voting machines. In the U.S., the three largest election equipment vendors-Election Systems & Software, LLC; Dominion Voting Systems, Inc.; and Hart InterCivic, Inc.-provide the voting machines and software used by ninety-two percent of the eligible voting population. However, voting and cybersecurity experts have begun to call attention to the lack of competition in the election vendor marketplace and the need for scrutiny by regulators as these vendors continue to produce poor technology, like machines that lack paper ballots or auditability.
Klobuchar was joined on the letter by Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Jack Reed (D-RI), Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Senator Gary Peters (D-MI), Ranking Member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
"The integrity of our elections remains under serious threat. Our nation's intelligence agencies continue to raise the alarm that foreign adversaries are actively trying to undermine our system of democracy, and will target the 2020 elections as they did the 2016 and 2018 elections," the senators wrote. "The integrity of our elections is directly tied to the machines we vote on - the products that you make. Despite shouldering such a massive responsibility, there has been a lack of meaningful innovation in the election vendor industry and our democracy is paying the price."

Democrats Take Senate Floor Overnight to Protest Amy Coney Barrett: 'No Hyperbole - It's Life or Death Stakes'
Democrats took the Senate floor overnight Sunday to protest Judge Amy Coney Barrett's nomination to the Supreme Court, warning that Americans are facing "life or death stakes."
"Senate Democrats are taking over the floor all night to fight this sham process by Senate Republicans. We will not stop fighting," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced Sunday night.
"Yes, we fight to the end. No hyperbole - it's life or death stakes," Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said, adding that he and Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) were taking the "graveyard shift overnight on the Senate floor":
Yes, we fight to the end. No hyperbole - it's life or death stakes.@brianschatz and I have the graveyard shift overnight on the Senate floor. If you're up between 2 and 5 a.m. tune in. https://t.co/ENNs9ORT6q
- Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) October 26, 2020
The Republican-led Senate approved a cloture motion over the weekend to cut off debate, limiting it to 30 hours. Both GOP Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) voted against the motion, though Murkowski said she would approve of Barrett's nomination in the final vote slated for Monday evening.
Several Democrats issued stark warnings on the floor, echoing the minority leader's words. Sen Jack Reed (D-RI) said Republicans will inflict "lasting damage to both this institution and the Supreme Court" by confirming Barrett, while Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) accused the GOP of committing an "obscene power grab."
Schatz used his time on the floor to criticize the way McConnell runs the Senate - particularly his prioritization of judges.
"It's like a joke here," the Democrat lawmaker said.
"His priority is judges. His priority is always judges," he said of McConnell, adding that there is "no legislating going on."
"That's become the way this place operates. ... "We're just like a little factory that approves federal judges, and that's how Mitch McConnell wants it," he added:

However, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has not wavered, telling his colleagues that the Senate is "doing the right thing."
"We're moving this nomination forward. By tomorrow night, we'll have a new member of the United States Supreme Court," he said Sunday.
The Senate is expected to confirm Barrett Monday evening. Meanwhile, Democrats do not believe Vice President Mike Pence should preside over the vote because of multiple aides testing positive for the Chinese coronavirus, including Pence's chief of staff, Marc Short:
Vice President Pence cannot come to the Senate because of his exposure to multiple COVID-positive staffers. His purely ceremonial and non-essential presence would just put Senators, staff, and Capitol workers at risk.
- Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) October 26, 2020
Pence's decision to come to Senate today, when he should be quarantining, puts people at risk - mostly the staff on the dais who cannot socially distance from him.
But it's also another clear message from the White House for Americans to ignore CDC guidance. That's lethal.

DEMOCRATS FURIOUS: President Trump's decision to appoint retired Brig. Gen. Anthony Tata to a top job at the Pentagon, for which he could not win Senate confirmation, has unleashed a torrent of outrage among Democrats who see it as another case of Trump thumbing his nose at congressional oversight.
"This is a flagrant end run around the confirmation process," said Sen. Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee. "This method of appointment is an insult to our troops, professionals at the Pentagon, the Senate, and the American people. Clearly, President Trump wants people who will swear allegiance to him over the Constitution," Reed said in a statement. "This is an offensive, destabilizing move, and General Tata should not be appointed to a Senate-confirmed position."
TATA MUST GO: Reed argues that Tata did not have the votes for confirmation due to past statements in which he called President Barack Obama "a terrorist leader" and disparaged the Muslim religion.

Every Democrat in the Senate has refused to say whether they support the removal of George Washington statues across the U.S., other than Democratic Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth, who said we "should listen to (the) argument."
The Daily Caller contacted every Senate Democrat's office asking them if they believe George Washington statues should be removed, as statues across the country have been destroyed by rioters or removed by local governments. In early July, Duckworth, a frontrunner to be vice-presidential nominee to 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden, said she would be willing to hear out arguments for removing statues of Washington.
"I think we should listen to the argument there," Duckworth said on CNN. "But remember that the president at Mount Rushmore was standing on ground that was stolen from Native Americans who had actually been given that land during a treaty."

Senators Introduce Bill to Boost US Production of Semiconductors Amid Beijing's Threats
In a move to counter China's tech ambitions, a bipartisan group of senators has introduced legislation aimed to boost the United States' production and development of semiconductors-tiny chips that power everything from smartphones to missiles systems. "With the Chinese Communist Party's continued efforts to dominate the rest of the world's microelectronics industries through theft and coercion, it is critical that we work swiftly to strengthen domestic production of semiconductors and maintain our strategic competitive edge," Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho) said in a June 26 statement from his office. The legislation was introduced by Risch, as well as Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Angus King (I-Maine), and Doug Jones (D-Ala.). The lawmakers seek to include the measure as part of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2021 (S.4049). The bill, named the "American Foundries Act of 2020," would authorize the U.S. Commerce Department to award $15 billion in grants to states to assist in "construction, expansion, or modernization" of semiconductor plants and facilities. States would be limited to receiving no more than $3 billion in grants. It would also allocate $5 billion for the U.S. Department of Defense to provide grants for private sector entities to create, expand, or modernize their manufacturing or research facilities capable of producing "secure and specialized" chips for defense and intelligence purposes.
Additional funds of $5 billion would go to research and development of semiconductors to ensure "U.S. leadership" in the industry. Of that total, $2 billion would be earmarked for the expansion of the Electronics Resurgence Initiative of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is a Pentagon agency responsible for the development of emerging technologies for use by the military. An additional $1.5 billion would go to the National Science Foundation, $1.25 billion to the Department of Energy, and $250 million to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. None of the funds appropriated under the bill may be provided to entities "under the foreign ownership, control, or influence" of the Chinese regime or other foreign adversaries, according to the bill text. It also stipulates that the U.S. president will establish a subcommittee under the National Science and Technology Council for efforts such as "strengthening the domestic microelectronics workplaces" and "guiding and coordinating funding for breakthroughs in next-generation microelectronics research and technology." "America's technological advantage played a decisive role in our victory in the Cold War, and it will be equally important to our ability to outcompete China over the coming decades," Hawley said in the statement.
U.S. trade body Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) welcomed the proposal in a statement on June 25. "The U.S. simply cannot afford to cede more ground to competing countries in the production of semiconductor technology, which is the bedrock of our country's digital economy and defense systems," said John Neuffer, SIA's CEO and president. SIA, in a policy report issued on June 18, said the United States currently enjoys a great lead over China in terms of market dominance and technical advancements, despite the latter's attempts to boost its semiconductor industry through state-backed policies. According to the SIA report, the U.S. semiconductor industry had a market share of 47 percent in 2019, followed by South Korea with 19 percent, and China with 5 percent.

'A legacy purchased with American blood:' Trump honors West Point graduates
This year's U.S. Military Academy at West Point graduating class will continue a proud "legacy purchased with American blood" as they continue their careers in the armed forces, President Trump said Saturday during a commencement ceremony at the historic site. In an address to the 1,107 West Point graduates, the president praised the role the Army has played throughout U.S. history, from the American Revolution to more recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Mr. Trump also gave a nod to the recent unrest that has swept the nation following the death of George Floyd two weeks ago, saying that the military as an institution stands strong in the midst of the "the passions and prejudices of the moment." "When times are turbulent, when the road is rough, what matters most is that which is permanent, timeless, enduring and eternal," Mr. Trump said. "The Army exists to preserve the Republic, and the strong foundations upon which it stands: Family. God. Country. Liberty. And justice."
Mr. Trump's decision to speak at Saturday's West Point ceremony drew criticism from some lawmakers who said that assembling the class amid the COVID-19 pandemic was dangerous and unnecessary. Military officials, however, took great precautions to ensure social distancing at the event. No family or friends were present at the ceremony and the cadets were seated several feet apart from one another. The president seemed to relish the chance to escape Washington and speak to a military audience. "This is your history. This is the legacy that each of you inherits," he said. "It is the legacy purchased with American blood at the crest of Little Round Top, on the crimson beaches of Normandy, in the freezing mud of Bastogne, and the dense jungles of Vietnam. It is the legacy of courageous, selfless, faithful patriots who fought for every inch of dirt with every ounce of strength and every last scrap of heart and drive and grit they had. And they did it because they believed in the undying principles of our founding."
Mr. Trump mostly avoided politics during his speech. Most notably, he steered clear of recent clashes with top military leaders who decried the White House's plan to activate U.S. troops to quell unrest in the streets following Mr. Floyd's death. The plan was ultimately abandoned amid a wave of criticism. Top military officials in recent days also have expressed regret for their role in a photo-op Mr. Trump held last week in front of St. John's Episcopal Church at Lafayette Square - an event that was preceded by the aggressive disbanding of protesters in front of the White House. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark A. Milley apologized this week for being present at the event and giving the perception that the military was wading into domestic politics. The president's critics expressed similar concerns Saturday. "Like many, I am concerned about politicization of the military. But today is all about these exceptional young officers," Sen. Jack Reed, Rhode Island Democrat and ranking member on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a statement honoring the West Point graduates.
Mr. Trump also did not mention a dispute with top military leaders over the possible renaming of Army bases named after Confederate generals. The president opposes such a move, while Pentagon officials have said they're open to the idea. The president did, however, reiterate a key foreign policy principle that's driven decisions throughout his time in office: That the young men and women graduating from West Point should not put their lives on the line to wage "endless wars" in the Middle East. "We are restoring the fundamental principles that the job of the American soldier is not to rebuild foreign nations but to defend and defend strongly our nation from foreign enemies," he said. "We are ending the era of endless wars. In its place is a renewed, clear-eyed focus on defending America's vital interests. It is not the duty of U.S. troops to solve ancient conflicts in far away lands that many people have never even heard of."

Senate Calls for New F-35 Hub in Pacific, Deployment of Cruise Missile Batteries
The Senate Armed Services Committee wants to spend nearly $7 billion over two years to launch an aggressive new military effort aimed at deterring China and shoring up U.S. defenses in the Pacific region. It's also calling for strategic deployments of weapons and platforms to keep China and other threats, including Russia, at bay.
The Pacific Deterrence Initiative, approved as part of the Senate version of the 2021 defense budget and policy bill, includes $1.4 billion for next year and plans $5.5 billion for fiscal 2022 to augment missile defense, fund new efforts in support of regional allies, and forward-posture more troops in the region.
"The best way to protect U.S. security and prosperity in Asia is to maintain a credible balance of military power but, after years of underfunding, America's ability to do so is at risk," a summary of the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, released by the Senate Armed Services Committee following markups, reads.
The Senate-approved NDAA "encourages" the Air Force to establish a new F-35A Joint Strike Fighter operating location in the Indo-Pacific region "quickly to posture ready forces in our priority arena," the bill summary states.
In April, Pacific Air Forces took delivery of its first two F-35s, stationed at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. The base is set to have 54 of the aircraft by December 2021. The Senate's version of the NDAA includes a total of $9.1 billion to buy more of the stealthy fifth-generation fighters – 14 more than the White House asked for in its budget request.
Elements of the Pacific Deterrence Initiative also include improving active and passive missile-defense systems for bases and operating locations in the region; building up the military's system of prepositioned stockpiles, including vehicles, weapons and fuel; and starting to transition the military's operating model in the Pacific from large and difficult-to-defend bases to "dispersed, resilient, and adaptive basing."
In a May op-ed for War on the Rocks, committee chairman Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Oklahoma, and ranking member Jack Reed, D-Rhode Island, argued that the creation of the PDI would re-orient the Pentagon's approach to strategic planning and spending.
"It doesn't matter how many F-35s the military buys if very few are stationed in the region, their primary bases have little defense against Chinese missiles, they don't have secondary airfields to operate from, they can't access prepositioned stocks of fuel and munitions, or they can't be repaired in theater and get back in the fight when it counts," they wrote. "The Pacific Deterrence Initiative will incentivize increased focus on posture and logistics, and help measure whether these requirements are being matched with resources."

More combat power headed to Pacific as China threat a concern
Greater numbers of combat forces are headed to the Pacific as lawmakers and military officials increasingly focus on the threat that China poses to the supremacy the United States has maintained in the region since the end of World War II.
Taiwan's independence from China is one area of concern. Taiwanese Defense Minister Yen Teh-fa said earlier this month that the military was "still seeking an opportunity" to participate in this year's Rim of the Pacific maritime exercises off Hawaii, Taiwan News reported.
However, a U.S. official confirmed Taiwan has not been invited to the August RIMPAC drills.
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Jim Inhofe, an Oklahoma Republican, and Rhode Island's Jack Reed, the committee's ranking Democrat, said they intend to establish a "Pacific Deterrence Initiative" in the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal 2021.
The step comes as the divide grows between the United States and China over the rising Asian power's expansionism.

Senate Confirms Kenneth Braithwaite to Serve as Next Navy Secretary Arrrr!!
The Senate confirmed Kenneth Braithwaite to serve as the next secretary of the Navy, following the November departure of the last confirmed secretary of the sea services.
Braithwaite is a retired Navy rear admiral and the current U.S. ambassador to Norway. The 1984 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy went to flight school and flew anti-submarine warfare missions in the Pacific and Indian oceans before moving to the public affairs community. He rose through the ranks on active duty and then as a reservist, ultimately becoming the top reserve public affairs officer. In his civilian career, he worked for former Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) between 1997 and 2000 and was a lobbyist for the hospital and healthcare industry.
His name was first floated for the job the same day that former Secretary Richard V. Spencer was fired, with President Donald Trump announcing Braithwaite's name in the same tweet he thanked Spencer for his service. Though Defense Secretary Mark Esper reiterated the intention to nominate Braithwaite to serve as the civilian head of the Navy and Marine Corps the very next day, the White House didn't formally send a nomination to the Senate until Feb. 28, and the Senate Armed Services Committee didn't pursue a confirmation hearing until May 7 - after another acting secretary of the Navy was unceremoniously removed from the job.
During his confirmation hearing in front of the SASC, Braithwaite said that the Navy was in "troubled waters" due to a lack of leadership in recent years and that he hoped to address cultural issues while in the job.
"It saddens me to say: the Department of the Navy is in troubled waters due to many factors, primarily the failings of leadership. Whether [Glenn Defense Marine Asia], ship collisions, judicial missteps or the crisis on USS [Theodore] Roosevelt, they are all indicative of a breakdown in the trust of those leading the service," he told the committee during his opening statement.
"I have witnessed crisis in the Navy before. In 1989, I was aboard the aircraft carrier USS America, sailing with the battleship Iowa, when an explosion killed 47 sailors. That was followed by the Tailhook scandal. These were some dark days for the department."
Later in the hearing, he added that "culture eats strategy for breakfast. Culture is the one thing that creates for an organization a sense of belonging, a sense of good order and discipline. It is my number-one priority, if I'm confirmed, to restore the appropriate culture in the United States Navy," he said in response to questions from Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.).
"I won't say it's broken. I think it's been tarnished. I think the events over the last several years have helped see that to occur. And if I'm confirmed, I will make sure that I get at that - again, predicated on good order and discipline, empowering people to understand their responsibilities along that chain of command."
Arrrrrr!!!

The apparent Defense Department exodus has opened the Trump administration up to a new avenue of criticism. the Senate Armed Services Committee's ranking member, Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., said in an interview Wednesday that it reflects a broader "dysfunction" and "hollowing out" of the nation's national security apparatus.
Poor morale and the departures of staffers at the State Department has been widely reported, amid budget cuts and Trump's firing of Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. But at the Pentagon - now overseen by the Trump administration's third national security adviser - is suffering its own malaise, he said.
"It's more obvious at the State Department, the criticism that career officials have been taking for doing their jobs, firing of ambassadors," Reed said. "In [the] Defense [Department], there's a carry over - the notion of not only not being appreciated, but ignored [by the White House]."
Are these resignations related to the Marie Yovanovitch firing

Congress Threatens to Reverse Military Opposed FCC 5G Ruling
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ignored 5G warnings and opposition from EVERYBODY including the Department of Defense (see 1, 2, 3, 4). Now Congress is finally stepping in.
From Just The News:
Bipartisan leaders of two powerful congressional committees told the Federal Communications Commission to reverse a ruling allowing a Virginia company to activate a 5G network that could disrupt military and other GPS signals.
The leaders of the House and Senate Armed Services committees wrote in an appeal Wednesday that they would force the issue through legislation if the FCC does not overturn its own decision to allow Ligado Networks to implement a network on the L-band spectrum.
Ligado's plan to use the L-band would risk interfering with signals that are important to national security, wrote Sens. Jim Inhofe and Jack Reed, along with Reps. Adam Smith and Mac Thornberry, who are the chairmen and ranking members of the two committees.
The four leaders noted that the country's current most pressing concern is the coronavirus pandemic.
"But the Federal Communications Commission has used the crisis, under the cover of darkness, to approve a long-stalled application by Ligado Networks - a proposal that threatens to undermine our global positioning system (GPS) capabilities, and with it, our national security," the leaders wrote.
The proposal from Ligado is opposed by multiple U.S. agencies, the leaders also reminded the FCC.
"The departments of Defense, Commerce, Interior, Justice, Homeland Security, Energy, and Transportation - as well as NASA, the National Science Foundation, the Coast Guard and the Federal Aviation Administration - all strongly object to Ligado's plan."
The committee leaders asked those FCC to cancel the Ligado ruling.
"If they do not, and unless President Trump intervenes to stop this from moving forward," they wrote, "it will be up to Congress to clean up this mess."
The FCC was considered a "Captured Agency" since before Trump was elected and they have become much worse (see 1. 2. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. 9. 10). Despite warnings and opposition, commissioners are using the pandemic as an excuse to speed up 5G installation (see 1, 2. 3, 4, 5). This includes launching tens of thousands of satellites with millions of antennas to blast 5G and WiFi from space (see 1, 2, 3). Lawsuits have been filed against the agency for NOT protecting Americans from unsafe levels of radiation (see 1, 2) and 5G (see 1. 2, 3).
5G opposition in the U.S. and worldwide continues to grow because of risks to biological health (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), cybersecurity (see 1, 2), environmental health (see 1, 2, 3, 4), privacy (see 1, 2), and more. Many cities and countries have taken action including banning it, issuing moratoriums, and passing ordinances (see 1, 2).

Q Research General #10377: So Ask the Q ! Edition
Trump Budget Gives Top Priority to New Generation of Nuclear Weapons
The most ominous feature of the new budget document issued Monday by the Trump administration is the prominent place given to the development of a new generation of nuclear weapons, including so-called low-yield weapons, smaller than the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which are widely regarded as more likely to actually be used in combat.
The document calls for nearly $50 billion to be devoted to nuclear modernization, including $29 billion from the Pentagon budget, and $19.8 billion for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a unit of the Department of Energy which operates the actual production of nuclear warheads, as well as some of the primary research.
The Trump budget would slash spending on diplomacy and foreign aid while sharply increasing funding for nuclear weapons, a clear indication of the policy direction being given from the White House in the wake of Trump's acquittal last week in the impeachment trial before the Senate. The debacle of the Democratic effort to impeach Trump over foreign policy differences-while ignoring his real and ongoing crimes against the working class and democratic rights-has only emboldened the White House to press ahead with its program of militarism, austerity and attacks on immigrants.
The budget provides the largest amount for the Pentagon's research and development budget in 70 years, since the period when US imperialism was engaged in the initial research on the hydrogen bomb and the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). Nuclear weapons modernization funds rose by 18 percent compared to last year's budget.
The modernization program, which was given initial approval under the Obama administration, will last 30 years and cost more than a trillion dollars, split between the three components of the US nuclear triad: ground-based missiles, submarine-launched missiles, and nuclear bombs delivered by long-distance bombers.
An important aspect of the modernization program is the improvement of the delivery systems, including a new generation of nuclear-powered submarines (the Columbia Class) and making the stealth F-35 jet fighter, the most expensive weapons system ever built, capable of carrying nuclear bombs. That configuration would be ideal for a prospective nuclear "Pearl Harbor" sneak attack on Russia or China, since the warplanes are nearly invisible to radar.
According to one defense industry publication, there had been serious infighting between the NNSA and the White House Office of Management and Budget over the huge figure for nuclear modernization, a conflict won by the NNSA after Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman James Imhofe (R-Okla) intervened on its behalf.
Senate Democrats like Jack Reed of Rhode Island lost the battle over funding priorities, as the Navy canceled one nuclear submarine-to be built in Groton, Connecticut, and Quonset Point, Rhode Island-as a "pay for" to accommodate the additional spending on nuclear warheads.
NNSA chief Lisa Gordon-Hagerty said that there were five major warhead modernization programs being funded: the B61-12 Life Extension Program, the W80-4 Life Extension Program, the W88 Alteration 370, the W87-1 Modification Program and the W93 warhead program. She cited the need to increase production of plutonium "pits," the key component of a nuclear explosive device, to 80 per year by 2030.

RI-D Sen. Reed: Trump Impeachment Trial Tickets Available to Rhode Islanders
"Rhode Islanders hoping to catch President Trump's impeachment trial live and in person can request tickets from one of their Congress members.
Democratic U.S. Sen. Jack Reed is making tickets to the Senate trial that opens Tuesday in Washington, D.C. available to Rhode Islanders.
His office says it will make all three public gallery seats it is allotted for each day of the trial available. Rhode Islanders must request a ticket through Reed's office.
If selected, they'll be notified and have to provide a valid identification to pick up the tickets, which expire daily and are non-transferable."
Wonder if they'd let me have one of those seats if I showed up with my ticket and my MAGA hat? This is the most effort this Do Nothing Dumbocrat has put into anything. The comments under the WJAR article are scathing, and there's one from General Flynn's wife.

The Senate on Tuesday night approved President Trump's pick for the No. 2 Pentagon post.
Senators confirmed David Norquist to be the deputy Defense secretary by voice vote, completing a key item on the chamber's pre-recess to-do list.
Norquist had been acting deputy Defense secretary since January, but stepped aside for the confirmation process. He has been the Pentagon's comptroller since 2017.
Norquist is the latest Pentagon official to be confirmed as senators try to wrap up their work before the August recess, with lawmakers away from Washington until early September.
The Senate confirmed Mark Esper to be Defense secretary and Gen. Mark Milley to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff last week.
Senators predicted Norquist would be easily confirmed after a largely uneventful confirmation hearing earlier this month, putting his nomination on a glide path.
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman James Inhofe (R-Okla.) said he had "strong feelings" about Norquist.
"In fact, I remember telling the president a long time ago it doesn't matter who ends up being secretary of Defense so long as you have Norquist in here helping," Inhofe said.
"Secretary Norquist, we face many challenges that require strong leadership and the ability to make tough decisions. I am very confident you can make those tough decisions," the committee's top Democrat, Sen. Jack Reed (R.I.), added.

Moar on Pentagon
The Pentagon's No. 2 policy official will resign on Friday, adding to a list of vacancies in the building's top leadership roles.
Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for policy David Trachtenberg is retiring, with a replacement to be named at a "later time," Pentagon spokesperson Lt. Col. Carla Gleason confirmed to The Hill.
Defense News first reported his departure.
Trachtenberg has been in role since October 2017 and was confirmed in a 70-17 Senate vote.
Before that, he was the president and CEO of Shortwaver, a national security consultancy, and also worked in the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill. He served as a principal deputy assistant secretary of Defense for international security policy and was a staff member with the House Armed Services Committee.
With Trachtenberg leaving the Pentagon has another vacancy in its top leadership ranks, an issue Senators earlier this week expressed frustration over during Defense secretary nominee Mark Esper's confirmation hearing.
"There is a staggering number of senior-level civilian vacancies throughout the department," Senate Armed Services Committee ranking member Jack Reed (D-R.I.). "I'm concerned that the Defense Department is adrift in a way I've not seen in my whole time on Capitol Hill."
Esper assured lawmakers that he had met with White House officials a day prior and "went down the list of the 14 current slots that do not have a Senate-confirmed person and talked about each, and obviously I urged them to help us push folks through."
Still unfilled on a permanent basis are roles including deputy Defense secretary, Army secretary, Air Force secretary, chief management officer, deputy chief management officer, principal deputy assistant secretary for international security affairs, assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low intensity conflict, and assistant secretary for nuclear, chemical, and biological defense programs.

Esper Refuses to Recuse Himself on Raytheon Matters in SecDef Confirmation Hearing
Army Secretary Mark Esper appeared headed to easy confirmation as defense secretary until late in his Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Tuesday morning, when he was confronted by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts.
In heated exchanges, Warren demanded to know whether Esper would recuse himself on Defense Department decisions involving Raytheon, decline to seek waivers that would allow him to weigh in on Raytheon matters and agree to refrain from lobbying for four years after he leaves office.
On all three issues, Esper said, "No, I won't."
"This is outrageous," Warren said. "That means you should not be confirmed as secretary of defense."
Esper worked for seven years as Raytheon's top lobbyist before assuming his current role as Army secretary. When he took the post in 2017, he agReed to recuse himself for two years on Raytheon matters; that agreement expires in November.
Warren cited the example of former Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan, a former top executive at Boeing, who recused himself from any matters involving the company for the duration of his service at the Defense Department.
"I can't explain why he made that commitment," Esper said of Shanahan.
Warren said, "I'll take that as a 'Yes,' you're not willing to make that commitment."
In a letter to Esper she released Monday, Warren wrote, "I am troubled by your unwillingness to fully address your real and perceived conflicts of interest, and write to ask that you reconsider your refusal to extend your Raytheon recusal [as Army secretary] through the duration of your tenure at DoD."
After Warren left the hearing room, Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Oklahoma, the committee's chairman, took the unusual step of apologizing to Esper on behalf of the committee. "I apologize for what you had to be confronted with. It was unfair," he said.
Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, the next questioner, sought to defend Esper's corporate ties.
Sullivan said that, in Warren's view, "Anybody who comes from the corporate world is corrupt."
He asked Esper: "Have you ever been accused of corruption?"
Esper responded, "No sir, never in my life."
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Florida, later charged that Warren had "demonized" Esper because he had worked in the corporate sector.
"I guess she just needed a moment for her presidential campaign," Scott said of Warren, a contender for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Earlier, Inhofe noted the challenge Esper would face in countering China and Russia under the National Defense Strategy while turning around a military that has been focused on counterterrorism since the 9/11 attacks.
Sen. Jack Reed, D-Rhode Island, warned Esper of the pitfalls ahead in serving as the chief military advisor to an unpredictable commander-in-chief.
He said it would be Esper's duty to give his best advice "even if the president disagrees with your counsel and it runs contrary to his policy goals."
Reed also stressed that it is critical for Esper to end the constant reshuffle of top Pentagon leadership that has taken place since Mattis left.
"I am concerned that the Defense Department is adrift," Reed said in reference to at least 16 top posts at the Pentagon that are either vacant or have officials serving in an acting position.
In later testimony, Esper echoed Reed's concerns, stressing the "need to staff up the top tier of the Pentagon soonest."

Army chief Milley strongly backs 'dual hat' role at Cyber Command
Filling the Defense Department's (12 leadership vacancies) is vital for military accountability to civilians and overall "effectiveness and efficiency of the department," said Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley during his Senate nomination hearing for chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff July 11.
Senate Armed Services Committee leaders, Chairman James Inhofe (R - Okla.) and Ranking Member Jack Reed (D-R.I.), expressed displeasure with DOD's vacancies – and lack of presidential nominations – during the hearing.
While Inhofe worried the vacancies created undue hardship, Reed characterized the situation as a "vacuum of civilian leadership," calling on the president to quickly submit nominations of qualified candidates. But the senator also worried about organizational fit and shifting roles and responsibilities.
Milley's written testimony homed in on cybersecurity, advising Cyber Command and the National Security Agency to continue with the "dual-hatted" leadership while seeking a cyber- review for the Joint Chiefs.
"The current 'dual hat' configuration between U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency is working well and should be maintained," Milley said, adding that if confirmed, the issue would be carefully attended and based on the best military advice.

Republican, Democratic senators seek to block POTUS' Saudi arms sales
Republican and Democratic US senators said on Wednesday they would introduce 22 separate joint resolutions seeking to block President Donald Trump's plan to sidestep congressional review and complete more than $8 billion in military sales to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan, reports Reuters.
Backers of the effort said it was intended to "protect and reaffirm Congress' role of approving arms sales to foreign governments."
The effort is led by Senators Bob Menendez, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Republican Lindsey Graham, one of his party's leading foreign policy voices who is often a close Trump ally.
Two other Republican senators - Rand Paul and Todd Young - and three Democrats - Chris Murphy, Patrick Leahy and Jack Reed - also joined the announcement.
Declaring an emergency because of tensions with Iran, the Trump administration informed congressional committees on May 24 that it was going ahead with the 22 military deals worth $8.1 billion, circumventing a long-standing precedent for lawmakers to review major weapons sales.
The decision angered members of both parties, who worried that Trump's decision to blow through the "holds" process would eliminate Congress' ability to prevent not just Trump but future presidents from selling weapons where they liked.

Q Research General #8387: Wednesday Winning Edition
Shanahan orders new restrictions on sharing of military operations with Congress: report
Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan has ordered new restrictions on how the Pentagon shares information about international military operations with Congress, according to an internal memo obtained by The Washington Post.
The May 8 document lists criteria for when Defense Department officials are allowed to provide congressional offices or committees with information regarding operational plans and orders, according to the newspaper.
The memo comes amid criticism from Capitol Hill that the Trump administration is withholding information to impede a slate of oversight probes in the House. Some lawmakers have also expressed concerns that the Defense Department is becoming too involved in President Trump's immigration policy, according to the Post
"Congress oversees the Department of Defense; but with this new policy, the department is overstepping its authority by presuming to determine what warrants legislative oversight," Reps. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) and Mac Thornberry (R-Tex.), the chair and ranking Republican of the House Armed Services Committee, told the Post.
The Pentagon hit back at the criticism, saying the new policy is intended to increase transparency between the Pentagon and Congress.
"In establishing this policy, Secretary Shanahan seeks to increase transparency and information-sharing with Congress. Under his direction, the Department of Defense has been engaging with the Senate and House Armed Services Committees to develop a process for providing Congress with access to plans and operational orders, including Executive Orders. This policy establishes such a process. Previously, no such policy existed," Joe Buccino, a spokesman for Shanahan, said in a statement to The Hill.
The memo, which was reportedly shared widely within the Pentagon but was sent to key lawmakers after inquiries from The Post, lists six guidelines for information sharing with Capitol Hill.
The document orders military officials and political appointees to determine whether a congressional request "contains sufficient information to demonstrate a relationship to the legislative function" and urges officials to provide a summary briefing instead of the requested plan or order itself.
It also gives responsibility for evaluating congressional requests to the undersecretary of defense for policy, often a political appointee. Officials across the Pentagon previously responded to requests on an ad hoc basis.
The memo appears to arise from worries that lawmakers could leak military plans, calling on officials to evaluate "whether the degree of protection from unauthorized disclosure that Congress will afford to the plan is equivalent to that afforded" by the Pentagon, according to The Post.
The memo "seems to be another way in which they can claim that they don't need to respond to legitimate inquiry of Congress," Sen. Jack Reed, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told the Post.
"From what I can glean from the memorandum basically they can use any factor they want to say no and they can make a determination what they think we need to do our job," he continued. "I think we're better positioned to determine what we need to do our job."
An anonymous Pentagon official told The Post that the agency's officials had been worried about potential congressional interference in the formulation of military plans, what the Defense Department considers to be an executive branch function. The official added that Congress had been most interested in Special Operations activities, which are highly sensitive and have produced significant public backlash in recent years.
Shanahan is due to appear in an upcoming confirmation hearing in front of the Senate after Trump nominated him to be Secretary of Defense, a position Shanahan has taken on an Acting basis after the resignation of James Mattis.

Anyone else have a feeling that Shanahan as Secretary of Defense at this point in the plan represents one of the last tumblers that unlocks the whole thing? Do anons have ANY reason whatsoever to not believe Shanahan is a patriot?

>NYT brings out the knives on Shanahan.
Seem to anyone else like fake news likes to call it Pentagon Chief instead of Secretary of Defense? Is it possible the Pentagon itself is the final cabal base of operations that has not yet fallen?
It's obvious he's an important part of The Plan. They're basically giving away their playbook for attacking him, talking all about his role at Boeing. Look at how they closed out the article with an idle threat to the future of the Dreamliner aircraft itself.
>7/10 plane crashes are targeted kills
—–
Before he was nominated as deputy defense secretary in 2017, Mr. Shanahan had spent 30 years in commercial aviation and business at Boeing. He had hoped to bring his reputation as a corporate problem solver - including helping to introduce the 787 Dreamliner - to the Defense Department.
His nomination had been pending during the ethics investigation and after a second deadly crash in five months of a Boeing commercial jet that raised questions about the manufacturer's close relationships with federal officials.
Mr. Shanahan had managed to dodge being directly tied to the fallout after the two Boeing 737 Max 8 jets crashed - in March in Ethiopia and in October off the Indonesian coast. And no Dreamliners have failed like those planes.
The inspector general's report, released last month, cleared Mr. Shanahan of impropriety but also cited numerous meetings at the Pentagon during which Defense Department officials said he had promoted his experiences solving production problems on the Dreamliner as techniques that should be copied by the government.
Mr. Shanahan is well known for playing a key role in rescuing the Dreamliner during his career at Boeing when delays and cost overruns threatened the future of that project.
The praise could come back to hurt him: Boeing's plant in North Charleston, S.C., where the Dreamliner is built, has been plagued by employee complaints about safety issues on the plane stemming from the rapid pace that was pushed by management to meet quotas.
Two weeks ago, Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island, the top Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, said the ethics investigation "shows the wide swath of national security matters that Acting Secretary Shanahan is barred from, which strikes me as something the Senate needs to consider."

*I choose Raja K. over Robin K. because he is friends with Obama and wrote his speeches and is not cooperating. Raja seems less likely to flip.
If list is valid, that is 11 US Senators, 2 of which are Republicans. Therefore, Trump has leverage on 8 Dems and 1 Indy which gives him a SUPERMAJORITY anytime he wants. Think about the value of that when optics turn in his favor.
I found it odd the other day when Trump got the Senate to approve his 100th judicial nomination. The votes were 90-8 in favor as an example. That sure seems to me like Trump has complete control of the Senate.
Notice the Northern & Southern Border States in play. Both Senators from Maine. Bush Sr. home state after Texas. Stephen King Maine pedo? Clowns. Hmmm, human trafficking from Canada?
Notice all the Harvard Grads in play. I am getting ready to ask Q when Trump is going to label Harvard, Yale & Stanford as terrorist organizations and violators of the FARA Act.
I would suggest a dig on these 25 individuals. Each seems to hold the key to other bad actors. For example, Sen Jack Reed from RI takes down Sen Sheldon Whitehouse from RI.
Happy Cinco D'fing Mayo bitches.

Q Research General #7965: MUELLER BLOCKADE END Edition
Border wall could delay $139 million earmarked for critical Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach improvements
President Trump's plan to pull funding from military construction projects to pay for a Mexican border wall could delay more than $139 million in critical infrastructure funding for U.S. Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach.
The station's needs include replacing a 60-year-old ammunition pier, dredging Anaheim Bay and constructing missile storage warehouses.
The installation's strategic importance is expected to increase in coming years because the Navy plans to base 60% of its ships in the Pacific Ocean by 2020, up from 40% a decade ago, according to a Navy study.
Seal Beach's primary missions are to store ordnance for the Navy and Marine Corps, load and unload ammunition and maintain weapons on warships departing San Diego.
At the request of Sen. Jack Reed (D- R.I.), the Joint Chiefs of Staff released a list of military construction projects this week that could be used as funding sources for the border wall. Seal Beach's earmarked funding was listed as an eligible source.
Gregg Smith, public affairs officer for the weapons station, said the base's construction funds have only been identified as a potential source of border wall funding.
"Especially knowing that, it would definitely not be appropriate for me to speculate on potential impacts to the base or the Navy at this time," he said.
U.S. Rep. Harley Rouda (D-Laguna Beach), whose district includes Seal Beach, wrote in a statement that Trump chose to veto a Congressional resolution terminating his border emergency, defying the consensus of both parties in the House and the Senate.
"I will not sit still and let the president raid hundreds of millions from California disaster relief funding, and put $139 million more in military construction projects for Seal Beach's brave service members and their families on the chopping block," Rouda wrote.
The replacement of the ammunition pier is considered vital by the Navy because it was built prior to modern earthquake standards and a major seismic event could halt operations.
Dredging Anaheim Bay and reconfiguring the turning basin will allow Seal Beach to serve larger amphibious assault ships, which currently have to be resupplied at sea by Marine Corps helicopters off Camp Pendleton.
To allow vehicles to access the new wharf, the Navy will build a causeway across the east side of the bay and create an entirely new public navigation channel for Huntington Harbour.
The Navy currently closes Anaheim Bay to public boating traffic while ships are entering or leaving the base.
The new navigation channel will eliminate the need for such closures, which can last for about an hour and a half, said Paul De Graw, commodore of the Huntington Harbour Yacht Club.
"The yacht club was excited about the option that they came up with because it separates the harbor from the naval base," De Graw said. "The members of the yacht club would be disappointed if the project didn't go through."
It's unclear when the Trump administration will tap specific military construction projects for funding and how it long it would take to restore funding to those that get defunded.
If the Navy decides to move ahead with funding Seal Beach on schedule, construction crews could break ground later this year or in 2020.

Elizabeth Warren Presses Pentagon on Its Planning for Climate Change
One of America's major political parties may not yet be willing to acknowledge that climate change is real, but it is already having significant effects on the U.S. military. Flooding in Nebraska and a hurricane in Florida that damaged military installations led to a recent Pentagon request of $5 billion in relief money. Now Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Jack Reed, D-R.I., are calling on the Government Accountability Office to assess military contractors' vulnerability to climate risks.
"While there has been analysis of the impact of climate change on military facilities," they write, "there has been no comprehensive analysis of the risks of climate change on the network of military contractors that provide billions of dollars of goods, services, and research and development" to the Department of Defense. As the letter released this afternoon notes, defense companies accepted $300 billion in federal contracts in 2017 and constitute a foundational part of U.S. military operations. "This is a significant gap."
Specifically, Warren and Reed have asked the GAO to investigate three questions:
To what extent does climate change pose a threat to facilities and operations of key private sector DoD contractors, and how do contractors' climate change vulnerabilities affect military operations and readiness?
To what extent are contractors required to disclose, either to the public, to financial regulators, or to DoD, any potential threats to their facilities or operations as a result of climate change?
To what extent do DoD contracting officials, during the procurement process, take into consideration (1) the actions taken by contractors to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions and their history of compliance with the nation's environmental laws; (2) the potential threats of contractors' facilities and operations as a result of climate change.

Did the Pentagon do enough to convince Congress it needs a Space Force?
By: Aaron Mehta and Valerie Insinna April 12, 2019
WASHINGTON - A high-powered panel of Pentagon officials faced a group of skeptical senators Thursday during a key moment in the department's push to create a new branch of the military focused on space.
Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan, Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joe Dunford and U.S. Strategic Command chief Gen. John Hyten appeared together in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee to argue on behalf of the Space Force.

National Reconnaissance Office could join Space Force down the road, Shanahan says
By: Aaron Mehta and Joe Gould April 12, 2019
WASHINGTON - Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan on Thursday indicated there could be an integration of the National Reconnaissance Office into the Space Force down the line, despite a decision to leave the NRO on its own for now.
Speaking to the Senate Armed Services Committee about the formation of Space Force, Shanahan was asked by ranking member Jack Reed, D-R.I., why the NRO wasn't put under the potential new branch of the military. Shanahan's answer: The Defense Department didn't want to delay a Space Force while it figures out how to work NRO into the picture.

Q Research General #7841: Lights on Nightshift pt 2 Edition
Pentagon defends space force amid skepticism
The Associated Press COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - Sharpening his argument for a space force, the acting Pentagon chief on Tuesday called it a "low cost, low bureaucracy" way to stay ahead of China, Russia and other nations seeking to erase American military advantages in space.
The Pentagon and Congress have discussed for years the possibility of establishing a military service for space, but some key lawmakers remain skeptical of the need and wary of the cost. The debate enters a new phase this week with the Senate Armed Services Committee holding its first hearing Thursday on the administration's proposal to phase in a space force over five years and establish a space war-fighting command this year.
Patrick Shanahan, whose own future as the acting secretary of defense may be tied to the success of his push for a space force, is trying to persuade lawmakers that it is urgently needed to preserve U.S. dominance in space. The proposal also is a favorite of U.S. President Donald Trump, who often touts the idea at political rallies and whose first defense secretary, Jim Mattis, was initially skeptical of the need for a separate military service for space.
Shanahan, a former Boeing executive who had been Mattis' top deputy and took over for him on Jan. 1, has yet to be nominated as his replacement.
In a speech at a space symposium crowded with industry officials hungry for Pentagon business, Shanahan cast China and Russia as threats, suggesting the United States has little choice but to match their efforts to weaponized space.
He repeated an assertion made in January by the Defense Intelligence Agency that by next year the Chinese military is likely to field a ground-based laser system aimed at low-orbit sensors in space. He said the Chinese also are prepared to use cyberattacks against U.S. space systems, and he said Russia is doing the same.
"Because of their actions, space is no longer a sanctuary," Shanahan said. "It is now a warfighting domain. This is not a future or theoretical threat. This is today's threat."
His speech kicked off what his staff has dubbed "space week" - a series of space-related events, including Shanahan's Senate testimony Thursday with Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Shanahan also taped an interview Monday with Fox News from the Colorado Springs luxury resort that is hosting a week-long space symposium. While in Colorado Springs, Shanahan also met with Air Force Gen. John Hyten, the U.S. Strategic Command leader whose responsibilities include overseeing military space operations.
In addition to establishing a space force, initially setting up just a headquarters in 2020 at a cost of $72 million, the administration is proposing to reestablish the U.S. Space Command, which would manage all military space forces, much like Hyten's Strategic Command manages all nuclear forces. The military had a space command for many years, but it was eliminated in 2002 when U.S. Northern Command was set up as a response to the 9/11 attacks.
Although many in Congress favor the administration's proposal, doubts persist, particularly about the space force, which requires congressional approval and would be the first new military service since the Air Force was established in 1947.
"Is an entirely new and separate military branch needed?" Sen. Jack Reed, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, asked last week.

Q Research General #7447: Phones Were Allowed In Edition
Yesterday the Tampa Times ran a retrospective titled "The long, odd history of Pasco County politicians behaving badly: Pasco officials have a pattern of engaging in bizarre and illegal shenanigans." Pasco made notables several times recently, there was armed conflict when the police came for the mayor of Port Richey (his successor has also been arrested now), and also a Sheriff's deputy was reported to have committed suicide.
http://www.tampabay.com/florida/2019/03/20/the-long-odd-history-of-pasco-county-politicians-behaving-badly/
This info may be helpful for a deeper dig into the area.
The St Petersburg Times (now Tampa Times) won the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting for a series of articles claiming to uncover corruption in the Pasco County Sheriff's Department. Much of this reporting related to the relationship between Sheriff John Short and Deputy John Moorman, a millionaire who had some financial transactions with the Sheriff, and donated money covering the expenses related to his service to the department (paying for a police car, required training, etc.)
https://www.pulitzer.org/winners/lucy-morgan-and-Jack-Reed
http://dlib.nyu.edu/undercover/inside-pasco-county-sheriffs-department-special-report-st-petersburg-times
Summary from a Pasco historian: "On Aug. 24, 1984, John Short, who had been sheriff since 1976, was indicted on three corruption charges and was removed from office by the Governor, who appointed J. M. 'Buddy' Phillips to replace him. In a series of articles, the St. Petersburg Times had reported that John Moorman, a millionaire who contributed thousands of dollars to Short and enriched the sheriff through business deals, was allowed to outfit himself as a volunteer deputy and help pay for an undercover investigation aimed at several prominent East Pasco men who had earned the animosity of Short and Moorman. In 1985 Short was acquitted of the charges. TV news reports on the acquittal are here and here."
http://www.fivay.org/sheriff.html
Despite all the noise of the St Petersburg Times award-winning investigation, no one was found guilty of any crime, and it's suspicious that a Pulitzer would be won for a story that falls apart in a jury trial. We know the MSM is under cabal influence, with top honors given to cabal operatives (reward & reputation boost.) Although some Pulitzer Prizes are won for top-quality reporting, it's likely that some are awarded for other reasons. Since Short was found not guilty at a jury trial, this doesn't look like a Pulitzer awarded for stellar journalism. Backing that up, small media reported that the Times published outright lies, with side-by-side evidence.
Take this as a tip from an Anon, Short/Moorman were white hats fighting evil in Pasco County. I don't know what they were up against, but I suspect they were exposing deep state activity, and the media/prosecution attack was black hat action to drive Short out of office and prevent disclosure. Although Moorman was a millionaire, don't trust media reports painting him in a bad light, any more than you would take seriously contemporary media reports about Trump's motivations. (And don't dismiss Short because he was a Democrat, we know that what's going on transcends party lines.) Something unusual was going on. The Short/Moorman partnership was unusual, the MSM response was unusual, and because of the Pulitzer it seems possible that whoever Short and Moorman were fighting was protected by heavy hitters in the cabal. My read on events is that Moorman was an independently wealthy man trying to stop bad things that were happening in his community, and when he developed a partnership with the local Sheriff both men were viciously attacked by the MSM. What were Short and Moorman doing? Is it possible they had discovered cabal activity? I've heard rumors that Short was going after child trafficking, among other things. Who were the "several prominent East Pasco men" that were the subject of the undercover Sheriff's Department investigation, and why were they targeted? What was happening in Pasco County in the 1980s and through to the present day? Is there anything important to discover by researching other prominent politicians who have come from that county, such as John Renke and Mike Fasano (both served in leadership of the Florida House)? Does any of this shed light on current events, is there ongoing cabal activity in this part of Florida?

Sens. Schumer and McCain used to have a lousy relationship. President-elect Trump has changed that.
Sens. John McCain and Charles E. Schumer used to have a lousy relationship. The Arizona Republican and New York Democrat came from different backgrounds and focused on distinct legislative priorities. They were two hard-charging senators who were both aggressive in their courtship of the media.
The New Yorker and the Arizonan even broke into an open feud when, during a 2011 debate on defense policy, McCain joked that Long Island was "regrettably part of the United States of America." Schumer demanded an apology: "All of America saw how heroic Long Islanders were on 9/11."
Five years later, times have changed. The duo is emerging as a potentially critical force in the new world order of President-elect Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress. In the last 10 days, McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Schumer, the incoming Senate minority leader, led a bipartisan push to create a robust investigation into Russian hacking of political committees that intelligence officials say was designed to promote Trump's candidacy.
Through TV appearances and joint letters, the senators are pushing for an investigation that Trump is so far rejecting and other Republicans have been reluctant to tackle because such a probe might appear to undermine the results of the 2016 elections.
"There's no doubt [the Russians] were interfering," McCain said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union," stepping up the pressure on congressional GOP leaders. The question is now, how much and what damage? And what should the United States of America do?"
An hour or so later, Schumer held a news conference in New York City echoing McCain's call for a detailed investigation, and a few hours afterward the carefully choreographed effort included a formal letter from McCain, Schumer and two senior senators on foreign policy issues, Jack Reed (D-R.I.) and Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), asking Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to establish a select committee to conduct a thorough investigation.
McCain's early view of Schumer was as a partisan with sharp elbows. He oversaw the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and added 14 seats to the Democratic caucus in four years. When McCain suspended his 2008 campaign to fly to Washington to try to help cinch a Wall Street rescue package, the meeting ended in insults and no deal.
In a Senate-floor speech the next day, Schumer took direct aim at McCain and blamed him for the faltering talks. He said McCain could help in only one way: "Get out of town."

Pentagon finds $12.8 billion for Trump's border wall
The Defense Department has identified $12.8 billion in possible funding that it could use to fulfill President Trump's call for a border wall.
Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., released the 20-page spreadsheet on Twitter Monday night.
Trump last month declared a national emergency at the border, and said he wants to use $3.6 billion for border wall projects. The Pentagon's list said it has found possible funding sources that are "in excess of the amount needed."

But it's not clear which projects the Defense Department will draw from. Some states that have been allocated big chunks of money that haven't been spent could see a hit.
California, for example, was identified as having more than $700 million in unused Army and Navy military construction that could be used. Hawaii has more than $400 million that could be used.
More than $200 million in similar funding allocated for Hawaii, Maine, New York, North Carolina, Guam, Germany, Guam, and Guantanamo Bay Cuba are also on the list.
Reed warned in his tweet that "military bases in your state could be negatively impacted" by Trump's border emergency.
Congress has passed a resolution to disapprove of Trump's push for emergency funding, but Trump vetoed it, and lawmakers are not expected to have enough votes to override him. Opponents of Trump's move are still hopeful that court challenge might prevent Trump from spending the money.

Q Research General #7364: PATRIOTS ARE IN CONTROL EDITION
Pentagon tells Congress of projects that could be hit to pay for wall
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Acting Pentagon Chief Patrick Shanahan said on Monday he had provided Congress with a list of projects from the military construction budget that could be cut back in order to help pay for a wall on the border with Mexico. Last month Trump declared a national emergency in a bid to fund his promised wall at the U.S.-Mexico border without congressional approval. The emergency declaration allows the Trump administration to use money from the military construction budget, if needed. Trump issued the first veto of his presidency on Friday to block a measure passed by Democrats and Republicans in Congress that would terminate his emergency declaration for a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico to stem illegal immigration and crime.
Speaking before the start of his meeting with his French counterpart, Shanahan was asked if he had sent the list of projects to Congress. "I have," Shanahan said. The issue was highlighted during a tense Congressional hearing on Thursday, when Democratic Senators demanded that they be provided a list of military that could be impacted if funding was used to build a wall. "This unacceptable series of evasions should trouble members of Congress, regardless of political party," Senator Jack Reed said in a statement after the hearing last week. Military officials have vowed that they would not use any funds from military housing.

Senate lawmakers hammer Pentagon officials on massive military budget
Democratic lawmakers hammered top military officials during a congressional hearing on Thursday, highlighting the uphill battle ahead for the Pentagon to push through its $718.3 billion budget for fiscal year 2020.
The lawmakers on the Senate Armed Services Committee grilled acting Defense Secretary Pat Shanahan and other Pentagon officials for "overloading" a war fund request, ongoing efforts to move defense money to construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall, and sexual assaults in the military.
Overall, President Donald Trump's administration is requesting $750 billion for national security, which includes funding for the Pentagon and other agencies such as the Department of Energy. Of that, $174 billion is requested for a war fund also known as Overseas Contingency Operations, or OCO.
"We have been presented with a particularly egregious misuse of the OCO account," Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed, the ranking Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, said during Thursday's hearing. "Overloading the OCO request... far exceeds any precedent and cannot be justified... and undercuts the integrity of the entire request."
Thursday's hearing, which included Shanahan, Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Deputy Defense Secretary David Norquist, comes on the heels of the Pentagon's release Monday of its service budget proposals.

US Senators Involved in MILABS Child Trafficking - List of how many they raped and killed
Tory Smith
January 13, 2016
The Temporals of the Senate have attempted to kill me today after I posted a list of 44 of them that raped and murdered at the Langley VA MILAB, so I decided to share a list of all Senators that are involved in MILAB Child Trafficking. When I was abducted and taken to the MILABS, I was raped by each and every male on this list, so I am far more than an eye witness. Including Rand Paul who raped me three times. I am sorry for those to continue to worship them, but they are due to be arrested soon.
The R stands for # of children raped and the M is for how many they have killed.

Is your audit firm being investigated? New law may expose misdeeds
The Defense Department will soon force accounting firms it hires to disclose investigations they face, a requirement that chips away at federal protections that have long helped keep flawed audits of public companies under wraps.
The directive was slipped without notice into last August's $716 billion defense bill by Rhode Island Senator Jack Reed. It could have a significant impact on the many accounting firms that bid for auditing and consulting work at the Pentagon.

Q Research General #6512: Hostile Planet for Shills Edition
The Pro-Abortion Legacy of a Prestigious Rhode Island Catholic Prep School
In what is becoming yet another scandal for the Catholic Church, Rhode Island's governor, Gina Raimondo, joined a growing list of Catholic lawmakers embracing a woman's access to late-term abortion. A graduate of Providence's Catholic college prep school La Salle Academy, an institution that describes itself as "rich in history and grounded in the tradition of Catholic education," Raimondo has the dubious distinction of being the most pro-abortion governor the State has ever elected. Pledging her support for House Bill 5127, the Reproductive Health Care Act, which would eliminate any constitutional restrictions on late-term abortion, and remove any constitutional restrictions on methods of abortion for the future, Raimondo has shown herself to be in favor of abortion up until the moment of birth-by any methods necessary to terminate the life of the unborn child.
To its credit, in an effort to distance the school from Raimondo's pro-abortion politics, La Salle Academy had already removed the large framed photograph of their infamous graduate from their walls in 2014 when she began her pro-abortion crusade. But, in some ways, the damage has been done. We now know that La Salle's own description as a school that is "grounded in the tradition of Catholic education" reveals that the school appears ambivalent about its mission. Like the dozens of Catholic colleges and universities who now describe themselves as "shaped" in the heritage of their Catholic founding, or "rooted" in the Catholic university tradition, La Salle chose its words carefully in order to reassure prospective students that its "rich history" will not get in the way of free and open inquiry.
Fr. Richard Neuhaus, the late editor of First Things, wrote in 2009: "When a school is haggling over its mission statement, it is a sure sign that it has already lost its way." Identifying the strategies that some Catholic schools have used to redefine themselves, Fr. Neuhaus wrote that describing themselves as having been "shaped" by their "Catholic heritage" or, as La Salle does, by their "Catholic tradition" was a sign that the institutions were already distancing themselves from the Church.
And, whether this is true in the case of La Salle we really cannot know. What we can know is that although the school is well-known for its academic excellence, La Salle has also become known for producing some of the most radical pro-abortion lawmakers in the country-including the notorious Rhode Island pro-abortion United States Senator Jack Reed (D-RI).
Indeed, as one of LaSalle's most infamous graduates, Reed can always be relied upon to provide the pro-abortion votes on even the most extreme issues. Reed has a 100 percent pro-abortion voting record as rated by NARAL Pro-Choice America. To list just a few of his more notorious votes: on March 12, 2003, Reed voted NO on banning partial-birth abortion; on June 4, 2004, Reed voted to expand embryonic stem cell research; on March 13, 2008, Reed voted NO on prohibiting minors crossing state lines for abortion; and, a day later, Reed voted NO on defining the unborn child as eligible for SCHIP which would have provided medical insurance for the unborn child.
In September, 2014, La Salle not only removed Raimondo's photo from the "Wall of Notables" in an attempt to distance itself from its most dishonorable graduates, but they also removed photographs of Senator Reed. However, it is difficult to understand why Reed's photograph was still in place among the notable graduates in 2014 after his decade-long pro-abortion voting record.
The removal of the photographs has not stopped La Salle from touting the achievements of their graduates, and occasionally even inviting some of these graduates back to campus to help guide a new generation of students. On her own website, Governor Raimondo proudly lists her service on the Board of La Salle Academy-where she helped to shape its mission.

Julia Hart and Jack Reed
By KATHRYN SHATTUCKMAY 1, 2005
UNLIKE the wedding a week earlier of a certain heir to the British throne, the marriage on April 16 of Senator Jack Reed, the Rhode Island Democrat, and Julia Hart, was purposefully short on pomp and publicity.
There would be no splendiferous cathedral with an aisle the length of a football field, no luminaries in the crowd to outshine the wedding couple – only a small gathering of friends and family at the Catholic Chapel at the United States Military Academy at West Point.
There were bills to debate, protocol to be maintained – this couple really did have a country to help run, after all.
Ms. Hart, 39, is a coordinator in the Interparliamentary Services Office of the Senate, which organizes exchanges between that body and the legislatures of foreign nations. Mr. Reed, 55, sits on the Senate Armed Services and the Joint Economic Committees, among others.
A few days before the ceremony, Mr. Reed, a former Army Ranger, and Ms. Hart were asked to describe their first meeting in early 2002, when they traveled with a Congressional delegation to war-ravaged Afghanistan.

HOLY SHIT!
01/21 4 AM Those all technologies described below are truly "new" and monstrous. I was tonight (while being asleep) placed in the lab and there were some test and experiments done, I was sitting and crying, and my tears came mixed with blood. Real action was hidden behind "sweet DARPA dreams", they used to entrain my brain (I was buying some clothes etc). Here is an article, which best explains, what DARPA narrative network is about. Combine what you read in this article with the knowledge of implanted radios I have in both ears (and this is only one small part), to understand why I told that they entrain my brain with narratives to hide what they are doing to the clones, connected to my brain due to Elon Musk implants (neurograins) and nano robots circulating in my blood. There is also technology called Voice to Skull - in the case they did not secretly implant you with neurograins or neurodust (as explained in this Army declassified document about microwave), which can be used to beam sounds directly into your head, "treating" the whole house, all while you are sleeping.
Here is the list of senators I know in some capacity, while being abused for the development of military robot, and other projects as explained on this website and below. The whole project was supposed to be "top" military robot Sophia, which started after the first surgery in 2007. For many years it never crossed my mind that all problems I had after the surgery, were due to secretly implanted nano technologies. But Sophia has so many clones now - social, sex robot, little Sophia, cleaning robot etc., that it is difficult to keep track of all of them. One of Sophia clones ended in India, which makes complete sense to me. On the list of Senators here, most are men, except for the Gang from California. I am glad that they are not many.
Senators (list), who must have the knowledge of these projects: Doug Jones, Dianne Feinstein, Kamala Harris, Michael Bennet, Cory Gardner, Richard Blumenthal, Tom Carper, Rick Scott, Johnny Isakson, Jim Risch, Tammy Duckworth, Mitch McConnel, Bill Casidy, Ben Cardin, Gary Peters, Roy Blunt, Bob Menendez, Cory Booker, Tom Udall, Martin Heinrich, Chuck Schumer, Richard Burr, Tom Tillis, Rob Portman, Jim Inhofe, Ron Wyden, Pat Toomey, Jack Reed, Sheldon Whitehouse, Lindsey Graham, Lamar Alexander, John Cornyn, Mitt Romney, Patrick Leahy, BERNIE SANDERS, Mark Warner, Patty Murray, Joe Manchin, Mike Enzi, John Barraso. There is a reason why I "made bold" some of them; again I am glad that there are not many. The biggest surprise was Bernie Sanders, whose platform was not that much different from the goals I wrote for Occupy Wall Street in 2011.
Generals: Joseph F. Dunford, Paul J. Selva, Paul M. Nakasone, Philip S. Davidson, Terrence J. O'ShaughnessyCraig S. Faller, Raymond A. Thomas III, Stephen R. Lyons, Mark A. Milley, John M. Murray, Gustave F. Perna, Robert B. Brown, Robert B. Neller, John M. Richardson, James F. Caldwell, Jr., Christopher W. Grady, David L. Goldfein, James M. Holmes, Charles Q. Brown Jr., Tod D. Wolters.
It is beyond comprehension of an average human mind, why they would recruit for this unwanted "position" of military robot, a woman, born in foreign country, who came to US at the age of 39. I understand that this is very difficult to swallow, but again - if you send me any text of your choice in three languages in which I am fluent, I will be able to create a summary and tell you what it is about. This would be some type of "sanity test". You will need to do the same in languages in which you are fluent. Wish you sweet DARPA dreams, America. 01/20

Q Research General #6175: Rapid Fire Retweets Edition
A Convenient Killing of US Troops in Syria
With unseemly haste, US news media leapt on the killing of four American military personnel in Syria as a way to undermine President Donald Trump's plan to withdraw troops from that country. The deadly attack in the northern city of Manbij, on the west bank of the Euphrates River, was reported to have been carried out by a suicide bomber. The Islamic State (ISIS) terror group reportedly claimed responsibility, but the group routinely makes such claims which often turn out to be false.
The American military personnel were said to be on a routine patrol of Manbij where US forces have been backing Kurdish militants in a purported campaign against ISIS and other terror groups. An explosion at a restaurant resulted in two US troops and two Pentagon civilian officials being killed, along with more than a dozen other victims. Three other US military persons were among those injured.
US media highlighted the bombing as the biggest single death toll of American forces in Syria since they began operations in the country nearly four years ago. The US and Kurdish militia have been in control of Manbij for over two years. It is one of the main sites from where American troops are to withdraw under Trump's exit plan, which he announced on December 19.
Following the bombing, the New York Times headlined: "ISIS Attack in Syria Kills 4 Americans, Raising Worries about Troop Withdrawal". The report goes on, "the news prompted calls from Republicans and Democrats for President Trump to reconsider his plans to withdraw troops from the country." A more pointed headline in The Washington Post was: "Killing of 4 Americans in Syria Throws Spotlight on Trump's Policy". The Post editorialized, "the bombing showed that [ISIS] is likely to be a force to be reckoned with in Syria for the foreseeable future." It quoted politicians in Washington claiming the "bombing deaths... were a direct result of a foolish and abrupt departure announcement [by Trump], and made the case for staying."
Democrat Senator Jack Reed, who sits on the Senate Armed Forces Committee, said: "From the beginning, I thought the president was wrong [in ordering the withdrawal]. It was a strategic mistake for the whole region." With macabre smugness, anti-Trump politicians and news media appeared to exploit the death of US troops in Manbij to score points against Trump. The president's claims made just before Christmas of having defeated ISIS were widely replayed following the Manbij attack this week by way of ridiculing Trump's order to pullout US troops from Syria.

Need some extra help on a digg if any anons are able to assist.
Donald Connell, a US Marine Vet has been missing since December 1986. He was 28 yrs old when he went missing from Newport, RI while walking on foot from his parents' house one street over to his sister's house. He was never heard from again.
http://www.missingveterans.com/1986/donald-joseph-connell/
https://411gina.org/cases/connelldonaldjoseph.html
What is interesting about this case is his family has been unable to secure his military medical records for possible ID'ing purposes. His sister reached out to RI Senator Jack Reed (D), signed a "Waiver for Senate Assistance" per his office's request, but apparently it went nowhere and Reed's office was "unable to assist further". (See sister's comment in comment section from the linked article above).
Donald Connell graduated in 1977 from Middletown High School, the town next to Newport, RI. Guess who else graduated from Middletown High School in 1977? Our favorite General, Michael Flynn.
https://turnto10.com/news/local/flynn-a-life-in-ri-before-the-scandal
Connell and Flynn both played sports so it's a given they knew each other and were teammates.
RI is a swamp state, held by DEMS. I find it curious the search came to a halt after Reed got the waiver from Connell's sister. Did Reed come across something he didn't want public? What was Connell's role in the Marines? Was he at the barracks in Beirut in '83? Or a guard at Arlington? Could his role have made him a target? Why did 10 days pass before he was reported missing?
Some online interest in his case:

Pentagon Accidentally Refueled Saudi Jets Over Yemen for Free
Amid a push by the Senate to vote on ending US support for the Saudi-led coalition waging war in Yemen this week, a new report indicates that American tankers have been refueling Saudi coalition jets with gas paid for by US taxpayers because of "errors in accounting."
Millions of dollars have likely been drained from US coffers to support the Saudi-campaign, according to the report.
Though Washington "believed" Riyadh and the United Arab Emirates "had been charged for the fuel and refueling services, they in fact had not been charged adequately," wrote William S. Castle, principal deputy general counsel at the Office of the Secretary of Defense, in a November 27 letter obtained by The Atlantic.
In the letter, one of the Pentagon's top attorneys acknowledges that free refueling services for the Saudi coalition cost more money than he could calculate. While one might think that someone at the 3 million-person organization that is the Pentagon would know exactly how much the US is owed, Castle said in the letter that the department is "currently calculating the correct charges." The Pentagon reached its conclusion following an inquiry sent by Senator Jack Reed, a Democrat from Rhode Island who sits as the second most powerful member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Tens of millions of dollars is probably a decent estimate of how much US taxpayers have contributed to the Saudi campaign, according to The Atlantic.
A spokesperson from the Pentagon confirmed the letter's contents and its authenticity to the publication late last week.
"Although DoD has received some reimbursement for inflight refueling assistance provided to the Saudi-led coalition (SLC), US Central Command recently reviewed its records and found errors in accounting where DoD failed to charge the SLC adequately for fuel and refueling services," said Commander Rebecca Rebarich, speaking to The Atlantic.
A spokesperson for CENTCOM specifically said the command was "still working through the calculation" of how much the Saudi coalition has paid for the refueling services and jet fuel.
In other military finance news, the Pentagon failed its first-ever audit last month, as accountants found myriad discrepancies in the department's books that may take years to reconcile. "We failed the audit, but we never expected to pass it," said Deputy Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan.

Free Gas Over Yemen's Skies: Saudi Jets Refueled By American Taxpayers Due To "Accounting Errors"
The White House wants to stay the course in Yemen even as the Senate is set to push back against US military support to the Saudi-led bombing campaign. But now a bombshell report reveals the Pentagon has been fueling Saudi and UAE jets free of charge due to "errors in accounting where DoD failed to charge" according to US defense officials.
The huge significance is summarized in the opening lines of The Atlantic report which broke the story over the weekend:
President Donald Trump, who repeatedly complains that the United States is paying too much for the defense of its allies, has praised Saudi Arabia for ostensibly taking on Iran in the Yemen war. It turns out, however, that U.S. taxpayers have been footing the bill for a major part of the Saudi-led campaign, possibly to the tune of tens of millions of dollars.
For the entire three-and-a-half years of the program, the Pentagon never had an official servicing agreement in place with the Saudis and further never informed Congress.
The vital refueling role that the US military has played in the war goes back to March 2015 and is reported to be "enormously expensive". The recipient country, in this case the Saudis, is required by law to pay the costs but the Pentagon now admits "they in fact had not been charged adequately" in an official DoD letter obtained by The Atlantic.
The Pentagon is now "currently calculating the correct charges" but it's unclear if the missing funds going back years - footed by the American taxpayer - will ever be obtained especially as the DoD doesn't even know what it's owed.
Information on the "accounting errors" began to emerge after Senators asked defense officials last March to account for Saudi coalition refueling costs. After eight months, just a day ahead of the Nov. 28 Senate vote to debate ending the war in Yemen, the Pentagon admitted it could answer this question.
Senator Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, told The Atlantic that likely "tens of millions of dollars" worth of fuel was supplied to the Saudi coalition for free. However, this figure (again which the Pentagon says it can't account for) is possibly in the hundreds of millions, considering the following:
Records provided by the Defense Logistics Agency this March indicated that since the start of fiscal year 2015 (October 2014), more than 7.5 million gallons of aerial refueling had been provided to the UAE, and more than 1 million gallons to the Saudis. Those figures were for all aerial refueling, not necessarily only related to operations in Yemen.
"It is clear that the Department has not lived up to its obligation to keep Congress appropriately informed or its responsibility to secure timely reimbursement," Sen. Reed told The Atlantic. "U.S.-provided aerial refueling assistance was provided to the Saudi-led coalition for more than 3.5 years, activities that likely cost tens of millions of dollars. We must ensure that U.S. taxpayers are fully reimbursed for that support."
So it's clear that not only has the United States given the Saudis a "free pass" politically while tens of thousands of Yemeni civilians have been massacred over the years, but has literally been funding the Saudi military machine for free, despite Riyadh's immense oil wealth. And further the obvious question that remains is… whatever happened to "America first?"

Pentagon Claims Accounting Error In Yemen War...
President Donald Trump, who repeatedly complains that the United States is paying too much for the defense of its allies, has praised Saudi Arabia for ostensibly taking on Iran in the Yemen war. It turns out, however, that U.S. taxpayers have been footing the bill for a major part of the Saudi-led campaign, possibly to the tune of tens of millions of dollars.
The revelation-detailed in a Defense Department letter obtained by The Atlantic-is likely to raise further ire among senators who have grown ever-more critical of Saudi conduct in the war, which has resulted in a growing number of civilian casualties, and U.S. support for it.
Since the start of the Saudi-led intervention, in March 2015, and up until last month, the United States provided mid-air refueling for Saudi-led coalition aircraft that then flew missions related to the Yemen campaign. Getting heavy U.S. tankers into the air and carrying out this job is enormously expensive. The recipient country is required by law to pay the costs, but that isn't what happened here. In a mea culpa of sorts, the Pentagon's November 27 letter states that while the Defense Department "believed" Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates "had been charged for the fuel and refueling services, they in fact had not been charged adequately." How inadequately, the Pentagon will not yet say; it is "currently calculating the correct charges," the letter states.
On Thursday, the Pentagon confirmed the letter's contents to The Atlantic. "Although DoD has received some reimbursement for inflight refueling assistance provided to the Saudi-led coalition (SLC), U.S. Central Command recently reviewed its records and found errors in accounting where DoD failed to charge the SLC adequately for fuel and refueling services," Commander Rebecca Rebarich, a Pentagon spokeswoman, told The Atlantic.
The Pentagon's letter says that it reached these conclusions after Senator Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, made a specific request for information.
Reed, along with seven other Democratic senators, raised the question of reimbursements in a letter to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis in March. The Pentagon's response admitting "errors in accounting" arrived the day before a key Senate procedural vote on withdrawing U.S. support for the war effort.
"It is clear that the Department has not lived up to its obligation to keep Congress appropriately informed or its responsibility to secure timely reimbursement," Reed told The Atlantic. "U.S.-provided aerial refueling assistance was provided to the Saudi-led coalition for more than 3.5 years, activities that likely cost tens of millions of dollars. We must ensure that U.S. taxpayers are fully reimbursed for that support."
When asked by The Atlantic how much reimbursement DoD had received from the Saudi-led coalition, Rebarich said that "CENTCOM is still working through the calculation." The Saudi and UAE embassies in Washington had not responded to The Atlantic's requests for comment about any reimbursements at the time of publication.

8 Senate Dems Urge POTUS Not To Meet Putin One-on-One
Eight Senate Democrats including Minority Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.), Minority Whip Dick Durbin (Ill.) and the top Democrats on the Senate Intelligence, Foreign Relations, Judiciary, Armed Services, Appropriations and Banking committees sent a letter to Trump on Saturday making the demand.
"If you insist on meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland, on Monday, we write to urge that you include senior members of your team and not meet one-on-one with Mr. Putin, as reportedly planned," the group of senators wrote.
"Mr. Putin is a trained KGB intelligence veteran who will come to this meeting well-prepared. As the Kremlin said last week, a one-one-one meeting with you 'absolutely suits' him. There must be other Americans in the room," they wrote, urging Trump to "rely on the expertise and the experts of the State Department, Defense Department, CIA and other U.S. government agencies" and "not wing it on your own."
The group also called on Trump to address Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election on the heels of special counsel Robert Mueller's indictment Friday of 12 Russian intelligence officers who are accused of being behind the 2016 hack of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
"If you are not prepared to make Russia's attack on our election the top issue you will discuss, then you should cancel the Helsinki summit," the senators wrote to Trump, adding that he "should demand" that Putin hand over the indicted Russians and 13 other Russian nationals indicted in February for running a "troll factory" during the election.
"These individuals must be brought to the United States so that they can stand trial, and you should demand that Mr. Putin hand them over," they wrote.
The letter was signed by Schumer, Durbin, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Ranking Member Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), Judiciary Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Armed Services Ranking Member Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Appropriations Vice Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Banking Committee Ranking Member Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio).

USMC PLATOON 335 & THE 82ND
Later in September of 1966, the unit designation was changed from Company A/82d Aviation Battalion to the 335th AHC. Due to command and control issues, the Casper Platoon was placed under operational control of the 335th AHC. Casper continued to fly command and control missions for the Brigade and its battalion commanders. In October 1966, the Army Goldbook indicates that Casper was assigned two UH-1 utility helicopters (a B model & a D model), along with six OH-13 observation helicopters. In January 1967, the 335th was assigned to the 145th Aviation Battalion, but continued to fly in direct support of the Brigade. In May 1967, Casper was taken out of operational control of the 335th and again placed under the operational control of the Brigade Aviation Officer, Brigade S-3. On December 31, 1967, the Cowboys were reassigned from the 145th to the 268th Combat Aviation Battalion, 17th Aviation Group, 1st Aviation Brigade; but continued to provide direct support to the 173d. In March 1968, the Cowboys were again reassigned to the 214th Combat Aviation Battalion, 164th Combat Aviation Group, 1st Aviation Group. At that time, their direct support mission under operational control to the 173d Airborne Brigade was changed to General Support of the II Corps Tactical Area. From October 1965 until March 1968, Company A/82 and later the 335th AHC provided 30 continuous months of direct support to the Brigade from Bien Hoa to Plieku, to Dak To, to Kontum, and Hill 875

Brownback, confirmed in dramatic D.C. vote, leaves legacy of controversy in Kansas
January 24, 2018 06:04 PM
WASHINGTON
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback's old friend, Vice President Mike Pence, cast two tie-breaking votes Wednesday to give the Kansas Republican a ticket back to Washington after a year of strife in Topeka.
Six months after he was first nominated, the U.S. Senate voted 50-49 to confirm Brownback as ambassador at-large for international religious fReedom, ending a period of uncertainty in Topeka about who was holding the reins of state government.
"I'm glad to have the vice president in my corner," Brownback told reporters seconds after Pence broke the tie on the initial vote.
A few hours later, Pence again arrived to rescue Brownback's nomination from the opposition of Senate Democrats and the absence of two Republicans.
Brownback's nomination faced strong Democratic opposition to his nomination over his record on gay rights.
Indeed, not a single Democrat crossed the aisle to support Brownback, who once was seen as a rising Republican star and possible presidential candidate. Even senators who had served with Brownback for years in Congress voted no, including Dianne Feinstein of California, Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Jack Reed of Rhode Island, Richard Durbin of Illinois and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.
Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri also voted no.
"I just think that it's really important if you're going to be the ambassador trying to promote tolerance that you show that kind of attitude, and his difficulty with the question about using religion as an excuse to persecute or prosecute people who are gay, that was a disqualifier," McCaskill said.
During the tense vote on the Senate floor, Schumer could be heard saying to Republican Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas, "C'mon, this guy screwed up your state." Moran crossed his arms and stepped away.
After the final confirmation vote Wednesday evening, a visibly subdued Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas couldn't say why no Democrat would vote for Brownback, a one-time member of their exclusive club.
"You'll have to ask them," Roberts said. "You know, it used to be that when a member of the Senate was a nominee that people would put partisan politics aside or disagreements aside and vote for him. And that's just not the case today."

Joe Biden Sides with Chinese Solar Manufacturers Evading U.S. Tariffs
President Joe Biden's Department of Commerce has sided with Chinese solar manufacturers who produce in Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, denying a request to investigate the manufacturers for evading United States tariffs on Chinese products.
This week, the Biden administration crushed a campaign by American solar manufacturers to ensure tariffs were imposed on products made by Chinese solar manufacturers who have shifted their production to other nearby foreign countries to avoid U.S. tariffs.
"The Commerce Department's unwillingness to investigate illegal circumvention by Chinese solar companies is a gift to the Chinese Communist Party that comes at the expense of American companies and American workers," Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) CEO Michael Stumo said in a statement:
President Biden promised to create 10 million green new jobs. Instead, this decision ensures that China's use of Uyghur forced labor in Xinjiang to manufacture polysilicon will continue. The Biden administration claims to want to Build Back Better and boost U.S. domestic manufacturing but a decision like this that only benefits the Chinese Communist Party is a serious red flag that the Build Back Better initiative is nothing more than a slogan. [Emphasis added]
The American Solar Manufacturers Against Chinese Circumvention, made up of a number of domestic manufacturers, filed a petition in August, asking the Biden administration to review whether Chinese solar manufacturers were illegally avoiding tariffs by moving production to Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Biden had been lobbied by 12 Senate Democrats who sent a letter asking the administration not to impose any tariffs on the products made in Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam by the Chinese solar manufacturers.
"New tariffs on solar products from these three countries would stall many ongoing and planned U.S. solar projects, negatively impacting every segment of the U.S. solar industry and resulting in significant job losses," the Senate Democrats wrote.
Those who signed the letter include Sens. Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Tom Carper (D-DE), Angus King (D-ME), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Jack Reed (D-RI), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Tim Kaine (D-VA), and John Hickenlooper (D-CO).

Congress Just Gave Itself A 21 Percent Pay Raise With Pork-Packed Omnibus Bill While Surging Gas Prices, Inflation Hurt Americans
As Americans face an economic crisis, historic inflation and surging gas prices, Congress released a $1.5 trillion omnibus bill on Wednesday allocating $5.9 billion of fiscal 2022 Legislative Branch funding to boosting the allowance and salaries of their staff.
The legislation would grant $774.4 million for the Members Representational Allowance, which funds the House budges for lawmakers, including staffer salaries and $1.7 billion for House operations.
"This $134.4 million, or 21 percent, boost over the previous fiscal year marks the largest increase in the MRA appropriation since it was authorized in 1996, according to a bill summary by the House Appropriations Committee," Roll Call reports.
The bill does not technically provide a raise for members of Congress, who earn an annual salary of $174,000. But House staffers, who members use to run errands, and family members of Congressional lawmakers who are often put on payroll, will see a pay increase.
The measure would provide the Senate with $1.1 billion for salaries and operations and $7 million for Senate intern salaries.
The Capitol Police department would also receive $602.5 million, $87 million more than it was provided in the 2021 fiscal year.
"This bill is essential to keeping our democracy and the legislative branch of government functioning in a safe and accessible manner," Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., chair of the Legislative Branch Appropriations Subcommittee, said in a statement. "At a time when the U.S. Capitol and the Capitol Police continue to operate amidst immense challenges, this agreement ensures they have the resources and staffing to protect the Capitol complex."
The 2,741-page omnibus spending package is also loaded with pork, funding pet projects for lawmakers. Sens.
A list of all the earmarks attached to the bill spans 367 pages.
Massachusetts Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey secured $995,000 for "Grid Resilience and Equity in the Energy Transition" research at the University of Massachusetts, allowing the left to redistribute taxpayer dollars to fix alleged inequality in the energy system, the Heritage Foundation reports. Markey and Warren also a $500,000 earmark for Worcester State University to increase diversity and inclusion for STEM students to study climate change. Rhode Island Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed secured $1.6 million of federal taxpayer funding for Roger Williams University for the "development of equitable growth of shellfish aquaculture in Rhode Island."
The massive spending bill is heading to Joe Biden's desk after the Senate cleared it late Thursday on a 68-31 vote.
Meanwhile, surging inflation is hitting all sectors of the economy. While the inflation rate was at 1.4 percent when Joe Biden entered the White House, the inflation rate soared to 7.9 percent in February, the highest level since 1982. Gas prices reached $4.25 a gallon on Wednesday, up from about $2.86 per gallon a year ago. Filling a 20-gallon tank now costs $85, up from $57.20 last year at this time. Inflation is costing the average household $276 more per month, or about $1,100 per quarter, according to a recent report by Moody's Analytics.

US Congress suggests sending B-21 stealth bombers to Australia under AUKUS partnership
Andrew Greene - 7 February 2023
America's next-generation B-21 bomber could be sent to Australia to "accelerate" national security under a congressional proposal put to the US secretary of defense.
Influential Democratic congressman Adam Smith, who until recently was the chair of the House Armed Services Committee, has also flagged leasing or deploying "legacy" American submarines here as part of the AUKUS partnership.
The long-range nuclear-capable B-21 Raider was publicly unveiled by the United States Air Force in December. It is expected to make its first flight this year, eventually replacing the country's B-1 and B-2 bombers.
Before losing the committee chairmanship in January, Mr Smith formally pushed for a study into the possible "conveyance of B-21 bombers" along with "leasing or conveyance of legacy United States submarines for Australia's use".
In a resolution contained in the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2023, the Democrat requests that US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin launch an independent assessment of the "challenges" to implement AUKUS and to explore other alternatives to help America's ally.
"Alternatives that would significantly accelerate Australia's national security, including - (A) interim submarine options to include leasing or conveyance of legacy United States submarines for Australia's use; or (B) the conveyance of B-21 bombers."
Mr Smith represents Washington state, where four dry docks have been abruptly taken offline over earthquake fears, making it harder for the US Navy to field, maintain and then decommission nuclear-powered submarines.
Just before Christmas, the Democratic chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Jack Reed, and then Republican senator Jim Inhofe wrote to President Joe Biden raising serious concerns about the AUKUS pact and warning it risked harming America's industrial base to "breaking point".
Senator Reed later clarified that he was "proud to support AUKUS", while a bipartisan group of Congressional figures also publicly threw their weight behind the partnership with the United Kingdom and Australia to help this country to acquire nuclear-powered submarines.
Former Defence Department official Marcus Hellyer said it was clear that congress was concerned about the risks around the AUKUS enterprise and wanted to understand them better.
"In light of the risks it makes sense for it to direct the US Department of Defence to examine a range of ways to increase Australia's military capability as fast as possible - including looking at the B-21 bomber," Dr Hellyer told the ABC.
A spokesperson for Defence Minister Richard Marles did not respond to questions whether he discussed the possible deployment of B-21s to Australia during his weekend meetings in Washington DC.
Last week, the ABC revealed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is planning to travel to the United States next month for the formal unveiling of the AUKUS "optimal pathway" for Australia to acquire nuclear submarines.

Congressman suggests sending jointly operated US submarine to Australia as AUKUS announcement looms
Jade Macmillan - 24 January 2023
1/2
A senior member of the US Congress has called for a dual-crewed American submarine to be based in Australia as part of an interim measure under the AUKUS agreement.
Republican Rob Wittman also argued Australian shipbuilders and sailors should be sent to the US for months at a time to prepare them for the eventual acquisition of a nuclear-powered submarine fleet.
Mr Wittman was among a bipartisan group of members of the US House of Representatives who sent a letter to President Joe Biden expressing support for the AUKUS deal.
It was prompted by leaked correspondence from two influential senators, warning the provision of nuclear-powered submarines to Australia could push the US submarine industrial base to "breaking point".
Representative Wittman, who was the most senior Republican on the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee in the last congress, said the idea of a direct sale of US submarines was "probably an oversimplification".
But he argued a nuclear-powered boat could be sent to Australia's area of responsibility to help ease a looming capability gap, as the existing Collins class fleet is retired and the new submarines are built.
"I think it would be dual-crewed," he told 7.30.
"I think too, that the command of the submarine would be a dual command, so you'd have an executive officer and a commanding officer that would jointly operate the submarine.
"And this, I believe, is the segue to Australia being able to operate its own submarine."
Another member of Congress who signed the letter to the president, Democrat Joe Courtney, said dual-crewing a US submarine would likely raise other issues.
"Having crews from different navies on a regular basis, operating submarines, strikes me as kind of begging a lot of questions and creating a whole sort of host of other sovereign control questions," he said.
"Having said that, the joint training should happen at full speed."
The Washington director of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), Mark Watson, agReed it would prompt questions about Australian sovereignty.
"If there are crews from the US and Australia on board in a time of crisis, who gets the no-go veto on the use of a particular vessel for a particular task?" he said.
"I think you will definitely see Australians on board US submarines training, for example.
"Whether we get straight to the point of there's a combined and integrated Australian and US crew on a US submarine, that will be interesting to see."
AUKUS supporters insist capacity at US shipyards can be ramped up
Mr Wittman said Australian sailors should complete a full deployment on a Virginia-class submarine, while shipbuilders should travel to the US to help construct one of the boats.
"So to show up here when they start cutting the first piece of steel to the time that that boat is put in the water," he said.
"Because it's only that experience that's going to fully inform Australian shipbuilders as to the scope of what they're doing and to understand how these boats are built and how they're put together."
US shipyards are under pressure as the Navy tries to catch up on its target of increasing its nuclear-powered attack fleet from 50 boats to at least 66.
In their letter to Joe Biden, senators Jack Reed and James Inhofe argued what had been touted as a "do no harm" opportunity might instead become a "zero-sum game" for scarce resources.
But representatives Courtney and Wittman, both of whom represent districts with close ties to the shipbuilding sector, argued capacity could be increased.
"You know, honestly, if AUKUS really works the way it should, there should be contribution to this program from the UK and Australia," Mr Courtney said.
"And I think that shows that, you know, that's a force multiplier that can really help take on the larger demand."

In response to questions from this masthead, a spokesman for the Australian Department of Defence said it was anticipating that export arrangements would need to change "to ensure technology and expertise could be transferred seamlessly and effectively among AUKUS partners, as well as their respective industrial bases, within a suitably designed protective framework".
In Washington, others are also cognisant of the challenge. Among Republicans, AUKUS caucus co-chair Mike Gallagher, like Courtney, is committed to reforming the export control regime and has consistently talked up the importance of equipping Australia with attack boats to help counter China's aggression and "protect our interests in the Indo-Pacific".
He also acknowledged that AUKUS did not provide Australia with enough flexibility regarding the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and suggested a "carve-out" might be necessary to exempt the project.
At a seminar last week, Democratic congressman Adam Smith, a ranking member of the House of Representatives armed services committee, also warned that while AUKUS was "a great idea, with a lot of promise" it "could also go bloop" unless some regulatory restrictions were eased.
And Mark Watson, the director of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute's Washington office, suggested that "an AUKUS express lane is what we need" to avoid delaying or derailing the project due to the maze of red tape and complex US laws surrounding it.
But the regulatory hurdles are not the only difficulty the alliance faces.
One of the concessions Republican congressman Kevin McCarthy made this month to secure the speakership of the House of Representatives was a vote on a framework that caps discretionary spending at fiscal 2022 levels. Some fear that this could result in the US defence budget being cut in real terms, which Courtney warned "could have a very negative effect on AUKUS".
Helping Australia acquire nuclear submarines will also test America's submarine manufacturing industry, which has already been strained by the COVID pandemic.
While AUKUS has received bipartisan support since September 2021, a letter sent to Biden by Senator Jack Reed and then-senator James Inhofe, a Republican, in December raised concerns the US submarine base could be stretched to "breaking point".
However, in a counter letter sent to Biden last week, Courtney, Gallagher and a group of other Republicans and Democrats defended AUKUS as "a multi-decade and multi-generational effort - one that is worth embarking on for the security of our nation and that of our allies in the Indo-Pacific".
Last year, members of the group also brokered a bipartisan agreement to establish a training pipeline that will give at least two Australian submarine officers a year a chance to train with the US Navy.

Albanese confident US powerbrokers will keep faith in AUKUS
GREG BROWN - JANUARY 16, 2023
1/2
Anthony Albanese is directly lobbying members of US congress to hold the line in supporting the AUKUS nuclear submarine deal as it comes under criticism in America, calling the pact essential in strengthening Australia's defence capabilities.
In an interview with The Australian on his priorities for the year, the Prime Minister also vowed to continue improving relations with China in 2023 after his successful meetings with Beijing's paramount leader, Xi Jinping, last year. While the government is moving to improve relations with China, it is also focused on bolstering military capacity to respond to Beijing's attempts to exert strategic influence in the Indo-Pacific region.
In the first quarter of the year, the government will choose a preferred nuclear submarine partner under the AUKUS deal and ?release a review into military capabilities, led by former defence minister Stephen Smith and former ADF chief Angus Houston.
Mr Albanese said he was confident US President Joe Biden would stick with the AUKUS agreement despite domestic political pressure.
"I'm confident that this is a good agreement, not just for Australia, but a good agreement for the United States and for the United Kingdom," Mr Albanese said.
"It is in our common interest that by strengthening each other's defence capacities, you end up with a much greater outcome for all three countries as well as collectively."
Earlier this month, heads of the US Senate armed services committee warned Mr Biden the AUKUS deal could become "a zero-sum game" for the allocation of "scarce, highly advanced" US ?nuclear boats.
Democrat Jack Reed and ?Republican James Inhofe called for a "sober assessment" of the agreement between the US, Australia and Britain, and explicitly warned against selling Australia submarines off the production line to meet the capacity gap that Canberra faces, with newly built boats not expected to be operational until the 2040s. In a leaked letter to Mr Biden, Senator Reed and Senator Inhofe warned that the AUKUS pact risked stretching the nation's industrial base "to breaking point".
The Prime Minister said he was engaging with members of the US congress over the deal, and ?declared the issues being raised at home and abroad were "legitimate" and being worked through.
"The concerns that were raised about workforce capacity and sovereign capability are legitimate ones that I would expect people in the United States in significant positions to raise, just like we are making sure that Australia's national sovereignty is looked after as well," Mr Albanese said.
"I'm sure our counterparts in the United Kingdom (are doing) the same thing.
"I have met members of the Senate, in the congress, here in Australia and engaged with them directly and in a really positive manner. Australia's standing of course is, I think, very important. We are reliable partners and that is why that engagement is important.
"I'm confident going forward that we will have a positive outcome."

US politicians express strong support for AUKUS submarine deal in letter to President Joe Biden
Andrew Greene and Stephen Dziedzic - 12 January 2023
1/2
A bipartisan group of United States politicians have publicly thrown their weight behind the AUKUS pact after two powerful US Senators warned that selling Virginia-class nuclear submarines to Australia could stretch the US industrial base to "breaking point."
Last week a US Defence news website revealed that the Democratic chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Jack Reed, and a former Republican colleague had urged the US president not to sell US built submarines to Australia under the partnership.
While the Australia, the United Kingdom and the US will only announce the pathway for Australia to obtain nuclear-powered submarines in March, there has been speculation that the Biden administration may sell or transfer a small number of nuclear-powered boats to the Albanese government to ensure it doesn't face a "capability gap" when the Collins class subs retire.
"Over the past year, we have grown more concerned about the state of the US submarine industrial base as well as its ability to support the desired AUKUS SSN [nuclear subs] end state," Democratic Senator Jack Reed and the now retired Republican senator James Inhofe wrote.
In the correspondence dated December 21, which was later leaked, the pair was quoted as saying "we believe current conditions require a sober assessment of the facts to avoid stressing the US submarine industrial base to the breaking point".
On Monday, Senator Reed seemed to partly moderate his position, publicly declaring his support for the partnership that was struck in September 2021 by US President Joe Biden, along with former Australian prime minister Scott Morrison and former UK leader Boris Johnson.
"I'm proud to support AUKUS, the United States' historic military agreement with the UK and Australia," the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman tweeted.
"This powerful partnership is central to ensuring a free and open Indo-Pacific, dramatically improving the capabilities of our allies, and increasing our engagement in the region."
Now a group of nine Republican and Democratic congressional representatives have also weighed into the public debate, writing to President Joe Biden to back AUKUS, and championing the idea of the US providing submarines directly to Australia.
"Far from a zero-sum game, the potential for the United States to provide or build new submarines under AUKUS, should that be the recommendation of the trilateral consultation, could very well be a 'rising tide that lifts all boats'," the letter said.
While Senators Reed and Inhofe warned that eroding industrial capability was already stretching the US capability to the point where it would struggle to meet its own military requirements, the Congressional representatives said AUKUS could provide a fresh infusion of cash to help it ramp up production.
"While it is essential to maintain a minimum of two submarines a year for the United States to meet our national security requirements, we are supportive of expanding the industrial base to meet AUKUS expectations," the US politicians wrote.
"We particularly believe that an expansion of our industrial base beyond two submarines would support the early provisioning of existing Virginia class submarines to be made available concurrent with the retirement of the Collins class attack submarines."
On Tuesday, China's ambassador to Canberra used a rare media appearance to publicly denounce the AUKUS deal, warning it would be an "unnecessary consumption of the Australian taxpayers' money".

Memo PM: on AUKUS, you need to lead it or lose it
PETER JENNINGS - JANUARY 10, 2023
1/2
On the Australia-US alliance, leaders in both countries always say relations have never been better. We celebrate a century of mateship built on battlefield co-operation with a big appetite for chin-quivering rhetoric about fighting our enemies "shoulder to shoulder".
The talk is mostly true. It enables a depth of defence and security co-operation few countries even understand, let alone could copy.
But don't be fooled. There are limits to co-operation set by national interest. Both countries have unspoken fears about each other.
Australian strategists worry about America's isolationist instincts, which are never far below the surface.
The Indo-Pacific is on a 1930s-style slide to high risk and low security. While Canberra obsesses about how to stabilise its relations with China, our profoundly more important relationship with the US is often taken for granted.
We need to watch for signs of American concern about Australia, and one has just been delivered in the form of a letter to President Joe Biden from two highly important US senators.
Democrat Jack Reed is the chairman of the Senate armed services committee and, until his retirement from the Senate this week, James Inhofe was the committee's Republican ranking member. They are serious and influential figures in Washington, running one of the most important congressional committees.
Their letter asks Biden to make "a sober assessment of the facts to avoid stressing the US submarine industrial base to the breaking point".
"We are concerned that what was initially touted as a 'do no harm' opportunity to support Australia and the United Kingdom and build long-term competitive advantages for the US and its Pacific allies may be turning into a zero-sum game for scarce, highly advanced US SSNs."
The worry is that America's two submarine construction yards can't meet the US Navy's demands for new boats while China is rapidly expanding its surface and sub-surface fleets. This "would make the US Navy less capable of meeting sovereign wartime and peacetime requirements".
A second concern is that "just as the submarine industrial base constraints are real, so are statutory and regulatory constraints. We still have little understanding of what ... permissions or waivers would be needed to realise the AUKUS SSN (nuclear submarine) options."
Reed and Inhofe warn: "These permissions or waivers are a serious matter and should not be taken for granted in negotiating any agreements."
Australia's political leaders dismissed any likely risks to delivering in March the plan for Australia's preferred "optimal pathway" to nuclear-propelled submarines. Speaking last Saturday, Anthony Albanese saw nothing to be concerned about. He mentioned his meetings with Biden in Tokyo, Madrid, London and Bali, and said Australia had been "engaging very closely on ensuring that the optimal pathway is delivered".
At the same press conference, Richard Marles said: "Last year, I met with senators Reed and In?hofe. They are both very strong supporters of Australia and really I have no doubt, at the end of the day, that we will be able to deliver this with support across the political systems of both the United States and the United Kingdom."
What else could they say? Our political leaders most invested in delivering the AUKUS plan have little public option at this point other than to stay the rhetorical course.
Our senior officials will be telling the Prime Minister and the Defence Minister that everything is on track because, at officials' level, it probably is. Defence always suffers from a conspiracy of optimism to deliver complex projects.
Politicians should be more worried. Reed remains chairman of the armed services committee. Inhofe will be replaced by an equally capable senior Republican. When people of this calibre sound warnings, the right Australian response is to listen and to actively address the concerns.
What are the American doubts about Australia and AUKUS delivery? The essence is this: US leaders will put their own military needs first. Congress knows of a strong view in the US Navy questioning Australia's capacity to step up to build and operate uniquely complex nuclear-propelled submarines.
The US will worry, too, about Australia's ability to protect critical nuclear propulsion information from Chinese spying. Only once before has America shared this technology - with Britain in the late 1950s. It took congress a decade to amend the McMahon Atomic Energy Act to allow that co-operation.

AUKUS subs warning 'inaccurate portrayal': Sea Power committee member
ADAM CREIGHTON - JANUARY 10, 2023
One of the strongest supporters of the AUKUS security pact in the US congress has urged "everyone to take a deep breath", amid growing fears US shipyards won't have the capacity to provide Australia with nuclear-powered submarines before the nation has the capacity to build them itself.
Democrat congressman Joe Courtney, a senior member of the House of Representatives Sea Power committee, told The Australian on Monday (Tuesday AEDT) that a leaked letter from two US senators to President Joe Biden, which argued building submarines for Australia could "stress the US submarine industrial base to breaking point", was inaccurate.
"The impression being conveyed in the letter was that a production slowdown was somehow an immutable dynamic and I think that's a very inaccurate portrayal of what's actually happening out there," Mr Courtney, whose Connecticut seat encompasses a big chunk of US submarine building, said.
"It was not a letter that the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee were aware of until really about 24 hours before it was leaked," he told The Australian, adding that the letter was likely "done in isolation by the two senators and their staff".
The letter in question, by Democratic Senator Jack Reed and outgoing Republican Senator James Inhofe, the two most senior figures on the Senate Armed Services Committee, emerged last week in a US trade publication, prompting the Prime Minister and Defence Minister to insist the submarines were on track.
"There really is a shared sense of mission between the US and UK and Australia in seeing Australia acquire this capability," said Defence Minister Richard Marles, who visited Washington DC and US shipyards late last year.
US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin promised Mr Marles the US would not leave Australia exposed to a looming capability gap as navy's ageing Collins class diesel-powered submarines become obsolete.
"We're still three months away from the big reveal ... everyone should take a deep breath and let them finish the process," Mr Courtney said, adding that recent legislation in congress to allow Australian sailors to train on US submarines should be cause for celebration of AUKUS progress so far.
A group of supporters of AUKUS in Congress, both Republican and Democrat, would shortly issue a statement reiterating their confidence in the AUKUS process, he added.
"There's no question that the Covid impact on defence manufacturing has slowed production down, but having said that the submarine industry delivered two submarines 2022 and is slated to deliver two this year," Mr Courtney said.
The cost and production schedule of the eight nuclear powered submarines promised to Australia under AUKUS in the September 2021 agreement remain unclear ahead of the government's promised release of the details early this year.
Former prime minster Malcolm Turnbull later chimed on the submarines debate, arguing acquisition of US nuclear submarine technology would undermine Australian sovereignty, a claim dismissed as "complete nonsense" by retired admiral Peter Clarke, as reported in The Australian.
"It will take a decade to get this sorted out," Mr Clarke told The Australian. "It's just absolute nonsense to say it would adversely affect Australian sovereignty."

Retired admiral sinks Turnbull 'sovereignty' fear
JOE KELLY - JANUARY 10, 2023
Peter Clarke, the only Australian admiral to have commanded both a nuclear and a diesel-electric submarine, has dismissed as "complete nonsense" criticism by Malcolm Turnbull that the trilateral AUKUS agreement to obtain a fleet of nuclear submarines would undermine Australian sovereignty.
Retired Rear Admiral Clarke said Australia "cannot do everything ourselves" and the nation had "alliances, agreements and treaties so we get greater benefit from the amalgamation of skills and knowledge and technical ability of our allies".
He said the AUKUS agreement was aimed at "developing and growing and maintaining" the skills needed to operate and maintain nuclear submarines in Australia.
"It will take a decade to get this sorted out," he said. "It's just ?absolute nonsense to say it would adversely affect Australian sovereignty."
Mr Turnbull took to Twitter on Monday, saying it was completely overlooked in Australia that ?"nuclear-powered submarines to be acquired from the US will not be able to be operated or maintained without the supervision of the US Navy".
The former prime minister added: "AUKUS is a worthwhile and natural enhancement of ?already intimate security and intelligence relationships but the submarine element of the agreement delays vital capabilities and diminishes Australian sovereignty."
The debate over AUKUS has been reignited after the heads of the US Senate armed services committee - Democrat Jack Reed and Republican James Inhofe - advised against supplying Australia with off-the-shelf nuclear-powered submarines in a letter to Joe Biden.
They warned that the AUKUS pact risked stretching the nation's industrial base "to breaking point".
Anthony Albanese said on Monday he was confident the government could deliver a ?submarine capability that "serves Australia's national defence interests" and those of the US and UK.
"That's what the whole point of the AUKUS arrangement is - to recognise that through co-operation in our defence systems we can ... be stronger," the Prime Minister told the ABC's 7.30.
Mr Albanese said he wanted nuclear submarines to be manufactured in Australia, providing an assurance that "Australia's sovereign interest will be protected."
He also said that senior members of the US administration had been "extremely positive" towards the ambition of the AUKUS framework to deliver a nuclear submarine fleet to Australia and that the proposal enjoyed the support of Joe Biden.
Rear Admiral Clarke said while Mr Turnbull's comments were "bizarre" and "unhelpful", the warnings about America's defence industry being stretched showed Australia's quest to obtain nuclear-powered submarines was "not going to be easy".
"Of course it will stretch US industrial capability," he said.
"That's why we need to have this agreement and why we need to work together."
Tom Corben, a research fellow at the US Studies ?Centre, said Australia did not have the "luxury that a great power like the US has in terms of being able to build, maintain and operate all our military capabilities on our own".
"When you are talking about Australian sovereignty in terms of its defence capabilities, it's never going to be absolute," he said.
But Mr Corben said concerns about AUKUS aired in the letter to Mr Biden would be viewed with interest by the President.
"Biden will be taking very seriously the views of two of the leading national security figures in the US congress when it comes to submarines and what it means for AUKUS," Mr Corben said.
"People who expected either explicitly or implicitly that the US would simply give us or sell us a submarine off their production lines with their capacity limited ... didn't really appreciate or weren't aware of the significant strain the US industrial base is under."
Euan Graham, a senior fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, said arguments that AUKUS would diminish Australia's sovereignty were like saying the ANZUS treaty was a threat to Australia's autonomy.
"The price of gaining access to US and UK nuclear propulsion technology means structural reliance on them as long-term suppliers. That comes with the AUKUS arrangement and ANZUS," he said.
"However, I would not equate that with diminished sovereignty."

Malcolm Turnbull fires warning shot as AUKUS submarine debate rages
Former PM Malcolm Turnbull has issued a stern warning on the AUKUS submarines deal, noting a crucial element of the plan could undermine our sovereignty.
Ellen Ransley - January 9, 2023
Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull says it is "truly remarkable" the renewed debate about acquiring United States submarines has not considered how significantly it would undermine Australia's sovereignty.
The federal government will within months announce its nuclear submarine plan, with both AUKUS partners - the US and the United Kingdom - in the running for supplying vessels to Australia until domestic industry is capable.
It's been revealed, however, that key United States senators have voiced their concern about being the chosen partner.
Jack Reed and former senator James Inhofe wrote US President Joe Biden a letter in December, which has leaked online, which says they - members of the armed services committee - wanted a "sober assessment" of the submarine component of the AUKUS deal.
They wrote that providing Australia with Virginia-class submarines risked tipping the US industry to "breaking point" and could undermine US security.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has maintained he remains "positive" about the AUKUS deal, and that Australia would ramp up its industrial contribution for the partnership.
But Mr Turnbull, taking to Twitter, said Australia was "completely overlooking" the fact that nuclear powered submarines acquired from the US "will not be able to be operated or maintained without the supervision of the US Navy".
"It is surely remarkable that this abdication of Australian sovereignty was effected by the Morrison government and now, apparently, endorsed and adopted by the Albanese government," he wrote.
"AUKUS is a worthwhile and natural enhancement of already intimate security and intelligence relationships, but the submarine element of the agreement delays vital capabilities and diminishes Australian sovereignty."
On Saturday, Mr Albanese and Defence Minister Richard Marles said Australia's relationship with the US remained strong, and the AUKUS partnership would benefit all members.
"We're very confident that it's in the interests of Australia, but also in the interests of the US and the interests of the United Kingdom," Mr Albanese said.
"When we talk about optimal pathway, we talk about not just the issue of what is built, but how it is built, as well as the optimal pathway in building a capacity of skills in the Australian workforce."
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has urged Mr Albanese to "press the case" to purchase submarines off the shelf from the US, saying there was "no question" in his mind that option was still on the table.
On Sunday, Mr Dutton said Australia's ability to keep the region safe was "really dependent" on the acquisition of the US submarines.
"I hope that the Prime Minister is able to continue to press the case because when we negotiated AUKUS, when the Coalition negotiated AUKUS, it was clear to us, as it's now clear to the government, that the intelligence is that we live in a very uncertain time, the most uncertain time since the Second World War and the sooner that we can acquire that capability, it is in Australia's interests, it's in the United States' interests, it's in our partners interests within the Indo-Pacific," he said.
"That's why we should continue to work very closely to achieve an outcome and to acknowledge from the US, and other partners, that they have their own obligations and their own needs, but we are a trusted and reliable partner and that's why the AUKUS deal was struck in the first place."

Dutton adamant Australia can still buy subs off the shelf
JOE KELLY - JANUARY 8, 2023
Peter Dutton says there is "no question" Australia could still buy two Virginia-class submarines from America by 2030 despite the heads of the US Senate armed services committee advising against it and warning the AUKUS pact risked stretching the nation's industrial base "to breaking point".
The Opposition Leader reaffirmed his view on Sunday that Australia could purchase the nuclear-powered submarines off the shelf from a Connecticut production line and urged Anthony Albanese "to press the case" in his dealings with America.
In June 2022, just weeks after the Coalition lost the election, Mr Dutton revealed that he had been working on a plan as defence minister in the Morrison government to purchase two Virginia-class submarines from the US by the end of the decade - 10 years before their scheduled arrival if they were built in Australia.
"There is no question in my mind that that option is still on the table. The ability to make sure that we can keep our region safe is really dependent on the acquisition of those assets," Mr Dutton said on Sunday.
"I hope that the Prime Minister is able to continue to press the case because when we negotiated AUKUS, when the Coalition negotiated AUKUS, it was clear to us, as it's now clear to the government, that the intelligence is that we live in a very uncertain time, the most uncertain time since the Second World War."
Mr Dutton played down a letter to US President Joe Biden from Democrat Jack Reed and Republican James Inhofe, which called for a "sober assessment" of the AUKUS agreement between the US, Australia and Britain, and explicitly warned against selling Australia submarines off the production line.
They said that despite the US's two-boat-per-year target, "just 1.2 Virginia-class (submarines have been) delivered, on average, per year, over the past five years" and that the AUKUS submarine agreement could become "a zero-sum game" for the allocation of "scarce, highly advanced" US ?nuclear boats.
But Mr Dutton said AUKUS was the "underpinning of our national security for the coming decades" and that there were "understandable questions" now being asked about what capacity the US and UK had within their submarine-building programs.
"I believe very strongly that when we negotiated with the United States and the United Kingdom, there was the option for us to see that submarine built in the United States," Mr Dutton said.
"Representative Joe Courtney, who is a great friend of our country, has made some comments, some positive comments about the prospect of there being headroom within the supply chain."
Mr Courtney, a Democratic congressman who chairs the House armed services subcommittee on sea power and projection forces, said last month that purchasing Virginia submarines was not "off the table" despite growing concern at the idea.
Speaking on the weekend, the Prime Minister said the government would "advance the AUKUS relationship with the United States and the United Kingdom, including the development of Australia having nuclear-powered submarines" during the first quarter of the year.
"We're very positive in the relationships that we've built with the Biden administration," he said.
"We still regard the US relationship as so important, as our most important alliance, and we place great stock in it."
A high-level nuclear submarine taskforce led by navy Vice-Admiral Jonathan Mead is due in March to hand to government its 18-month study to determine how Australia would acquire nuclear-powered submarines.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese 'very confident' AUKUS deal will benefit all three countries, despite concerns raised in US
AAP/ABC - 7 January 2023
Australia is on track to announce plans to buy new nuclear-powered submarines from the US and UK, despite scepticism in Washington.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Defence Minister Richard Marles said on Saturday Australia's relationship with the US remained strong.
This came after revelations two US senators had raised concerns to President Joe Biden the new AUKUS deal between the three countries could push America's submarine-building industry to a "breaking point".
Mr Albanese said an "optimal pathway" for building the submarines would be revealed in the first quarter of this year.
"We're very confident that it's in the interests of Australia, but also in the interest of the United States and the interests of the United Kingdom," he said on Saturday.
"When we talk about optimal pathway, we talk about not just the issue of what is built, but how it is built, as well as the optimal pathway in building a capacity of skills in the Australian workforce."
Mr Marles said Australia would need to make its own industrial contribution for the US and UK deal, while working to prepare the local sector.
"We have said that we will build the capacity in Adelaide to build nuclear-powered submarine," he said.
This would include working with nuclear technology experts from universities across Australia, as well as preparing for the blue-collar roles necessary for the construction.
"This is a really exciting opportunity for Australia."
The comments follow revelations in a leaked letter dated December 21, first obtained by US publication Breaking Defense, in which the Democratic chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee and a former Republican colleague outline their anxieties over the project.
"Over the past year, we have grown more concerned about the state of the US submarine industrial base as well as its ability to support the desired AUKUS SSN [nuclear sub] end state," the letter said.
Committee chair, senator Jack Reed, and Republican senator James Inhofe, who has since retired, warned the White House against any plan to sell or transfer Virginia-class submarines to Australia before the US Navy meets its current requirements.
While it was the first time members of Congress had raised major concerns about AUKUS, a senior US Navy official warned in August that helping Australia acquire nuclear-powered submarines could be too big a burden for America's overstretched shipyards.
Australia needs to replace its ageing diesel-powered Collins-class fleet of submarines.
The former Morrison government controversially ditched a $90 billion French contract for new ones to instead build nuclear-powered subs from the US and UK.

EXCLUSIVE: Reed, Inhofe warn Biden AUKUS risks becoming 'zero sum game' for US Navy
"We are concerned that what was initially touted as a 'do no harm' opportunity to support Australia and the United Kingdom and build long-term competitive advantages for the U.S. and its Pacific allies, may be turning into a zero-sum game for scarce, highly advanced U.S. SSNs," wrote the SASC heads.
JUSTIN KATZ - January 05, 2023
1/2
WASHINGTON - Two key US lawmakers sent a warning shot to President Joe Biden over concerns that the AUKUS trilateral security agreement could imperil America's submarine fleet, according to a letter obtained by Breaking Defense.
"Over the past year, we have grown more concerned about the state of the U.S. submarine industrial base as well as its ability to support the desired AUKUS SSN [nuclear sub] end state," Sens. Jack Reed, D-R.I., and James Inhofe, R-Okla., wrote in a Dec. 21 letter sent to the White House. "We believe current conditions require a sober assessment of the facts to avoid stressing the U.S. submarine industrial base to the breaking point."
"We are concerned that what was initially touted as a 'do no harm' opportunity to support Australia and the United Kingdom and build long-term competitive advantages for the U.S. and its pacific allies, may be turning into a zero-sum game for scarce, highly advanced U.S. SSNs," the two lawmakers continue, explicitly warning against any plan to sell or transfer Virginia-class submarines to Australia before the US Navy has met its current requirement.
At the time the letter was sent, Reed and Inhofe were the chairman and ranking member, respectively, of the Senate Armed Services Committee, one of the four key congressional panels overseeing the Pentagon. While Inhofe has since retired, Reed remains the SASC chairman in the new Congress - and hence remains one of the most influential voices on defense issues on the hill, with oversight on the AUKUS discussion.
AUKUS refers to the security pact announced in September 2021 between the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. The highlight of the agreement involves the US and UK sharing highly sensitive nuclear submarine technology with their ally down under, so that Australia can develop and operate nuclear-powered submarines, or potentially receive American Virginia-class subs outright. Leaders of the three countries said at the time their respective governments would spend 18 months on a preliminary planning phase before advancing the agreement; that initial consultation period is scheduled to end in March.
"We urge you to adopt a 'do no harm' approach to AUKUS negotiations and ensure that sovereign U.S. national security capabilities will not be diminished as we work to build this strategic partnership with Australia and the United Kingdom over the coming decades," the senators wrote Biden.
A spokesman for Reed declined to comment; the White House did not return a request for comment by deadline.
Virginia Concerns
The senators outline the pressure the US Navy's fast attack submarine program, the Virginia-class, has been under in recent years. They point out that although the program increased procurement from one to two boats per year in 2011, "just 1.2 Virginia-class SSNs have delivered, on average, per year over the past five years," according to the letter.
In fact, a significant portion of the letter sends a clear signal to the White House: think twice before trying to send or sell Virginia-class subs to Australia.
"AUKUS options that would have the U.S. transfer or sell Virginia-class submarines prior to meeting [the Chief of Naval Operations'] requirements would make the US Navy less capable of meeting sovereign wartime and peacetime requirements. Make no mistake, we recognize the strategic value of having one of our closest allies operating a world-class nuclear navy could provide in managing long-term competition with an increasingly militaristic China.
"However, such a goal will take decades to achieve, and we cannot simply ignore contemporary realities in the meantime."

US senators' leaked letter won't sink AUKUS subs deal: defence minister
Matthew Knott - January 6, 2023
1/2
Defence Minister Richard Marles has insisted Australia's plan to acquire nuclear-powered submarines remains on track after two US senators staged a dramatic intervention, warning Joe Biden the AUKUS pact risked stressing America's industrial base to "breaking point".
The letter to the US President, revealed just three months before the Albanese government unveils its submarine plan, is the first time members of Congress from either party have expressed significant misgivings about AUKUS.
The pact between Australia, the US and United Kingdom has enjoyed strong bipartisan support in Washington since it was announced in September 2021.
In a letter to Biden sent on December 21, Democratic Senator Jack Reed and Republican Senator James Inhofe explicitly warned against any plan to sell or transfer Virginia-class submarines to Australia before the US Navy meets its current requirements.
"Over the past year, we have grown more concerned about the state of the US submarine industrial base as well as its ability to support the desired AUKUS SSN [nuclear submarine] end state," Reed and Inhofe said in their letter to the White House, first reported by US website Breaking Defence.
"We believe current conditions require a sober assessment of the facts to avoid stressing the US submarine industrial base to the breaking point.
"We are concerned that what was initially touted as a 'do no harm' opportunity to support Australia and the United Kingdom and build long-term competitive advantages for the US and its Pacific allies, may be turning into a zero-sum game for scarce, highly advanced US SSNs."
Reed is the chair of the powerful Senate Armed Services Committee, which oversees the US military and Department of Defence. Inhofe, whose Senate career ended this week, was the top Republican on the committee when the letter was sent.
A spokeswoman for Marles responded to the letter, saying: "The optimal pathway for Australia to acquire nuclear-powered submarines is taking shape, and an announcement remains on track to be made in the first part of this year.
"AUKUS will significantly transform Australia's strategic posture and the work undertaken over the last 16 months speaks to a shared mission between Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States."
The government has said it will announce which type of submarine it will acquire by March, after receiving a recommendation from Jonathan Mead, the head of the Nuclear Powered Submarine Taskforce.
