The Pentagon announced the news on Thursday, citing recent missile strikes and lack of commercial flights as catalysts for the decision. Pentagon officials have said the move was ordered out of extreme caution. U.S. military troops were in Israel for an upcoming military exercise, but have since been flown into Germany to await their impending journey home. The withdrawal comes days after Israel announced they had deployed ground forces near the Gaza Strip to quell the violence between Israel and Palestine.   A warning has been issued to Americans which suggests they reconsider travel to Israel during this time. The State Department has r

REUTERS/Johanna Geron/Illustration/File Photo The judge in the U.S. government’s antitrust case against Facebook Inc said on Tuesday the social media company’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit “raises a number of serious challenges” and put the discovery process on hold. In a brief order, Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said he expected to rule on the motion to dismiss next month. “Given that Facebook’s motion to dismiss raises a number of serious challenges to the complaint,” the judge wrote in a brief order, it would be premature to exchange documents until he has a chance to decide if some or all of the complaint will be tossed out. Facebook had asked the court to dismiss both lawsuits, one brought by the Federal Trade Commission and the other by a big group of states, alleging they were brought “in the fraught environment of rel

The Nsukwa Divisional Police Station was attacked on May 16, 2021.   Attacks on police facilities in the southern part of the country appear to be worsening as more stations have come under siege by hoodlums recently. The latest of such unfortunate incidents was the attack by gunmen on Nsukwa Divisional Police Station in Aniocha South Local Government Area (LGA) of Delta State. Channels Television  gathered that the attack occurred in the early hours of Sunday as the assailants set some of the police vehicles on fire. While the police authorities in Delta have yet to make an official statement regarding the incident, unverified reports said three policemen were feared killed. Senior officers of the Nigeria Police Force led by the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 5, Isaac Akinmoyede, accompanied by the Commissioner of Police in Delta, Ari Muhammad, have visited the scene to ascertain the level of destruction done. Reporters were, however, barred from entering the

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration (Reuters) – Some of the world’s biggest chip buyers, including Apple Inc, Microsoft Corp and Alphabet Inc’s Google, are joining top chip-makers such as Intel Corp to create a new lobbying group to press for government chip manufacturing subsidies. The newly formed Semiconductors in America Coalition, which also includes Amazon.com’s Amazon Web Services, said Tuesday it has asked U.S. lawmakers to provide funding for the CHIPS for America Act, for which President Joe Biden has asked Congress to provide $50 billion. “Robust funding of the CHIPS Act would help America build the additional capacity necessary to have more resilient supply chains to ensure critical technologies will be there when we need them,” the group said in a letter to Democratic and Republican leaders in both houses of the U.S. Congress. A global c

(Getty President Joe Biden on Friday put the kibosh on his predecessor's planned “National Garden of American Heroes" and revoked former President Donald Trump's executive orders aimed at social media companies' moderation policies and branding American foreign aid. In an executive order of his own, Biden abolished the Trump-formed task force to create the new monument, which the former president proposed last year. It was to have featured sculptures of dozens of American historical figures, including presidents, athletes and pop culture icons, envisioned by Trump as “a vast outdoor park that will feature the statues of the greatest Americans to ever live." Trump himself curated the list of who was to be included — Davy Crockett, Billy Graham, Whitney Houston, Harriet Tubman and Antonin Scalia, among others — but no site was selected and the garden was never funded by Congress. Biden's order also revoked Trump's May 2020 order calling for the Department of

(Getty Images) On Saturday, former President Donald Trump criticized the media for misrepresenting him in public opinion polls ahead of the 2020 presidential election. "These are crooked, disgusting, and very dishonest media outlets and they know exactly what they are doing," Trump said, in a statement released by the PAC Save America, referencing an article from the  Wall Street Journal  issued Thursday. "The 2020 polls overstated Democratic support 'in every type of contest we looked at." said Joshua D. Clinton, a professor of political science at Vanderbilt University, s who led the review for the American Association for Public Opinion Research. Trump referenced the title of the article "Worst Presidential Poll Miss in 40 Years," saying they "finally got something right." Clinton added, "This was true no matter how respondents were polled. It didn't matter whether you're doing online or telephone polls. A similar level of err

Tens of millions of  Evangelical Christians are expected to pray for Israel in their churches on Sunday in response to the barrage of rocket attacks aimed at the country by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. “Like usual, in a nanosecond, millions of Evangelicals activated, beginning with their leaders,” Rev. Johnnie Moore, who helped organize  former US president Donald Trump ’s Evangelical advisory board in 2016 told The Jerusalem Post. “Evangelicals pressed pause on their lives to defend the State of Israel and the Jewish people against Hamas terrorists and their Iranian backers.
