President Donald Trump was greeted by a crowd of supporters in Florida on Wednesday. Trump flew to West Palm Beach from Washington via Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. Video footage showed scores of Trump supporters lining the streets as Trump’s motorcade traveled from the airport to his Mar-a-Lago resort. “We just wanted to show him how much we appreciate him,” Anita Bargas, who traveled from Texas, told WLPG. “For the most part, it’s just a somber but at the same time celebratory moment for us to welcome him back home,” Trump supporter Iam Hedendal added. “We want to show him he’s not alone,” Daniel Rakus,…

A federal court has ruled to protect some doctors and health care providers from being penalized for refusing to perform gender transition procedures on the grounds of religious belief. In a decision a day before Joe Biden took the oath of office, United States District Court Chief Judge Peter D. Welte from North Dakota granted a request to block the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) from enforcing an Obamacare mandate that compels medical professionals and healthcare providers to perform gender transition services. In 2016, the HHS issued a rule interpreting Section 1557 of…

Britain is resisting an EU demand that it grant full diplomatic status to the bloc’s ambassador in London, causing a row between the recently divorced parties that spilled out into the open on Thursday. Britain, an EU member for 46 years, voted to quit in 2016 and completed its tortuous journey out of the bloc on Dec. 31, when Brexit fully took effect. The BBC reported that the Foreign Office was refusing to grant the same diplomatic status and privileges to EU ambassador Joao Vale de Almeida and his team as it gives to envoys of countries, on the basis…

President Donald Trump didn’t campaign in 2016 on a promise to confront the global spread of communism, but his efforts over the past four years against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), its proxies, and other elements of the communist specter have become the centerpiece of his legacy. Viewed through this lens, the “America First” slogan was a fitting one for a campaign against a communist adversary and a medley of the causes it has co-opted in a decades-long campaign to supplant the United States as the most powerful nation in the world. The CCP has spent decades plundering American wealth through the theft of…

The Bank of England said on Wednesday the aim of its banking stress test this year is to check if banks can continue helping the economy during the pandemic and if a return to more normal levels of dividends is possible. The British central bank cancelled its annual health check of banks last year so they could focus on keeping credit flowing to an economy hit by its worst downturn in 300 years due to COVID-19 lockdowns. Stress tests focus on the ability of banks to face major theoretical shocks, but the focus now changes given the economy has entered…

Chelsea are looking at ‘German-speaking’ coaches to replace Frank Lampard as the pressure continues to ramp up on the Blues boss. A limp sixth defeat of the season at Leicester on Tuesday night left Chelsea in eighth place, despite a summer spend of £230m that was expected to see them challenge for the title. And the club’s hierarchy are looking into the possibility of hiring a coach fluent in German to get the best out of their Bundesliga acquisitions. Kai Havertz and Timo Werner have both struggled to impose themselves in the Premier League since big-money moves from the Bundesliga in the summer.…

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she’s not concerned about what was on a laptop computer stolen from her office when protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. “I’m not concerned about that particular laptop,” Pelosi told MSNBC in an interview broadcast on Tuesday. “But that doesn’t matter. It could be any laptop. And anytime a constituent writes to a member of Congress it’s confidential, that is personal with that person conveying their concern, their own situation—whether it relates to Social Security or immigration, whatever it is—it’s a secret, it’s confidential. So for them to take that is a violation not only of…

President Donald Trump on Tuesday granted pardons to dozens of individuals, including former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, in one of his final official acts as president. Bannon, 67, was granted clemency by Trump as part of a wave of pardons and commutations, the White House confirmed in a news release late Tuesday. It came just hours ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s scheduled swearing-in ceremony which will see the former vice president take office as 46th president of the United States. “Bannon has been an important leader in the conservative movement and is known for his political acumen,” the White House statement said. The…

The Test and Trace system is forking out almost £1million a day to just one consultancy firm, it has emerged. The Government is paying an average of £1,000 a day to each consultant working on the programme. Deloitte has 900 employees working for the service. David Williams, joint permanent secretary of the Department of Health and Social Care, revealed the shocking figures during a Commons public accounts committee meeting yesterday. Asked about government reliance on private sector staff – and specifically how many Deloitte employees work for Test and Trace – he said it was down to roughly 900 from more…

India is considering revising its foreign investment rules for e-commerce, three sources and a government spokesman told Reuters, a move that could compel players, including Amazon.com Inc, to restructure their ties with some major sellers. The government discussions coincide with a growing number of complaints from India’s brick-and-mortar retailers, which have for years accused Amazon and Walmart Inc-controlled Flipkart of creating complex structures to bypass federal rules, allegations the U.S. companies deny. India only allows foreign e-commerce players to operate as a marketplace to connect buyers and sellers. It prohibits them from holding inventories of goods and directly selling them…
