The American Medical Association is no Longer Neutral on Abortion – is suing North Dakota to block two abortion-related laws…
July 1, 2019
The AMA, along with the last remaining abortion clinic in North Dakota, is also challenging an existing state law requiring doctors to tell pregnant women that an abortion terminates “the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being.” The AMA argues in a statement on the lawsuit that law “unconstitutionally forces physicians to act as the mouthpiece of the state.”
It’s the second time this year the AMA has taken legal action on an abortion-related issue. In March, the group filed a lawsuit in Oregon in response to the Trump administration’s new rules for the federal family planning program. Those rules would, among other things, ban doctors and other health professionals from referring pregnant patients for abortions.

UN confirms that Iran has breached 2015 nuclear agreement...
July 1, 2019
The Fars report announcing the breach of the nuclear deal limits specifically cited European partners as lagging behind commitments to shield Iran from Washington sanctions, despite the new Instrument in Support of Trade Exchange (INSTEX) going live just days ago... “For Europeans, there is still time, but if they are asking for more time, it means that whether they are incompetent or they are unwilling to deliver on their commitments,” an official with the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) was cited as saying in the Fars report...

July 1, 2019
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned that more than 60 people in the Northeast have gotten sick with Salmonella after eating papayas. The CDC advised people living in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island not eat any papayas from Mexico.
Over 30 Jewish Protesters Arrested After Blocking Access To Privately Operated Ice Detention Facility in New Jersey used to hold undocumented immigrants…
July 1, 2019
The protesters were part of approximately 150 Jews who staged an action at the Elizabeth Detention Center to protest the treatment and detention of undocumented immigrants. Invoking the Holocaust, demonstrators described to the conditions in which immigrants are being held as concentration camps...
This is just another branch of the neo-progressive machine. These "activists" are nothing more than radicalized people that are most likely puppeted by the same arm that created the Justice Democrats and the Sunrise Movement. This latest protest was organized by the newly formed ‘Never Again Action’ movement which has been endorsed by Ocasio-Cortez who tweeted support for demonstration and even asked for donations. Though this article doesn't mention this, it is quite obvious by them describing the conditions as "concentration camps". Make no mistake, there are some powerful people pulling the strings behind these people and AOC.
An unidentified object that may have been a missile crashed north of the Cypriot capital, Nicosia, early on Monday, but no one was hurt…
July 1, 2019
“According to information I received from our military sources, the cause of the accident that occurred tonight was not ... a helicopter or one of our similar vehicles,” Ozersay wrote on Twitter. “Our soldiers, police and firefighters are carrying out inspections and responding at the site.”... “Initial findings indicate the object that caused the explosion was either an aircraft carrying explosives or a direct explosive (missile). The writings and signs on the debris will allow us to understand exactly what happened soon,” Ozersay said...
“It is evident it is not something stemming from our soil ... It is one of the bad sides of the war in the region falling into our country,” he said.
Cyprus is close to Syria. Israeli warplanes fired missiles targeting Syrian military positions in Homs and the Damascus outskirts overnight in an attack that killed at least four civilians and wounded another 21.
Let's get serious here, Cyprus isn't actually that close to Damascus.
Japan prepares for economic sanctions on South Korea…
July 1, 2019
...the Japanese government will restrict exports of three key items, including fluorine-containing polyimide, resists and etching gas to South Korea.
The products are materials used in the semiconductor production process, as fluorine-containing polyimide is used to make smartphones and TVs.
Japan accounts for about 90-percent of the global supply of the fluorine-containing polyimide and resists markets, and 70-percent of the etching gas market.
Watchers say LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics, two of South Korea's biggest tech giants, will be impacted by the sanctions.
Not only will they slow the production of smartphones and TVs from the two companies,the measures, if implemented, are likely to negatively impact the South Korean economy...Spy services seeking access to Angela Merkel’s medical file after she was seen trembling uncontrollably in public twice…
July 1, 2019
The world stage is no place for secrets. And this has been made abundantly clear by suggestions in the German media that foreign intelligence agencies are now attempting to access Merkel's health records to discover whether the recent bouts of televised shaking are indeed something more serious, with reports that "one western intelligence agency believed that the German leader was suffering from a 'neurological problem'." Those health records are reportedly locked within a secure military facility...

Intel is putting about 8,500 patents on the auction block as the chip giant exits the 5G smartphone market…
July 1, 2019
An Intel spokesman told Business Insider that the auction process, which is being supervised by the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell, "is independent of Intel's evaluation of options for the smartphone modem business, which we announced last April. Intel would retain significant patent assets for cellular wireless and connected devices technologies."
Intel had reportedly discussed selling its smartphone modem chip business to Apple, according to the Wall Street Journal...
Florida woman dies after contracting flesh-eating bacteria…
July 1, 2019
Lynn Fleming's last days were spent with family at her little piece of paradise: Coquina Beach. Days later, she was put on life support after contracting necrotizing fasciitis, sometimes called flesh-eating bacteria... Two weeks ago, Lynn was walking along the beach when she cut her leg... A couple of days later, Lynn went to the doctor. They gave her a tetanus shot and a prescription for an antibiotic. The next day, Wade says, her friends found her unconscious in her home. At the hospital, doctors said she contracted the flesh-eating bacteria...
The CDC says one in three people who contract the flesh-eating bacteria will die. Since 2010, there have been about 700 to 1,200 cases annually, though the CDC says that's likely an underestimate.
Here’s The Tilt We Talked About: Iran’s ambassador to the UN has suggested that Tehran-Washington talks would not be possible unless President Donald Trump reverses his decision to pull the US out of the 2015 nuclear deal…
July 1, 2019
For making Iran-US talks possible, “the first thing the US should do is to go back to the negotiating table”, Majid Takht-Ravanchi told Fareed Zakaria’s GPS aired by CNN on Sunday night.
“They left the negotiating table while the other members of the international community were talking to Iran about the nuclear issue. All of a sudden, the US decided to withdraw and the whole problem, the whole mess that we are seeing around ourselves is geared to that decision,” the Iranian envoy added.
“You compare the situation in early 2018 – before US withdrawal from the nuclear deal – to what we have today: it’s a totally different story. So all the things started with that decision. In order to make things going back to normal, that decision has to be reversed,” he noted...

Who is Whitney North Seymour Jr? He worked in the SDNY office from 1970 to 1973, long before Comey's tenure in the same office in 2002-2003. How did they knew each other? What is Comey really saying here?
Five small ships sailed out of harbor on Monday in Japan’s first commercial whale hunt in more than three decades, a move that has aroused global condemnation and fears for the fate of whales…
July 1, 2019
“If we had more whale available, we’d eat it more,” said Sachiko Sakai, a 66-year-old taxi driver in Kushiro, a gritty port city on the northernmost main island of Hokkaido, where the whaling ships were waved out of harbor in a brief ceremony.
“It’s part of Japan’s food culture,” said Sakai, adding that she ate a lot of whale as a child. “The world opposes killing whales, but you can say the same thing about many of the animals bred on land and killed for food.”
The ships, which are set to be joined by vessels from the southern port of Shimonoseki, will spend much of the summer hunting for minke and Baird’s beaked whales...
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has signed legislation that would bar people who attack or kill a gay person from arguing they panicked over their victim’s sexuality…
July 1, 2019
The Democrat signed the bill on Sunday in Manhattan, where he was taking part in the city's LGBTQ pride march. The state Legislature passed the measure earlier in June. Previously, those accused of violent attacks could argue that they were under extreme distress, that they panicked after the victim made a sexual advance or otherwise revealed their sexuality. The legislation made it that such an excuse could not be considered a "reasonable explanation" for a violent crime.
A Total Solar Eclipse Is Coming Tomorrow…
July 1, 2019
A total eclipse of the sun is coming to the South American countries of Chile and Argentina in the late afternoon hours of July 2, 2019. This is the first total solar eclipse since the great American total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017.
We refer to the map [above]. Outside the narrow path of totality (in blue) that swings over the South Pacific Ocean and southern South America, a much broader swath of the Pacific, South America and southern Central America sits beneath the moon’s penumbral shadow, to undergo a partial eclipse of the sun. It’ll be an exceedingly shallow solar eclipse for southern Central America, however.
Scientists have discovered an ancient 3,400-year-old palace that emerged from an Iraqi reservoir after a drought dropped water levels…
July 1, 2019
A site stretching a kilometre in length has been identified, and features several grand houses, a palace, an extensive road network and a cemetery. The discovery on the banks of the Tigris River has inspired a large archeological dig to help improve understanding of the Mittani Empire which spanned the northern areas of Iraq and Syria...
The main palace structure sits on an elevated terrace what would have been just 65 feet from the river. The walls were made of mud bricks that were up to six feet thick, and gave the building an imposing presence. Inside the palace, known as Kemune, a team of diggers also found preserved wall paintings in shades of red and blue.
Germany and the Netherlands have created a joint military network, TEN (Tactical Edge Networking), that helps soldiers from the two countries coordinate their operations. They’ll even share computers, radios, telephones and other equipment. TEN will initially link Germany’s land operations with the Netherlands’ tactical communications program…
July 1, 2019
On top of improving communication in the heat of battle, this will ideally speed the rollout of new technologies and standards. It could bolster their defenses against cyberwarfare, too. This could also help with Europe's overall defense. It'll help Germany and the Netherlands better integrate into NATO's larger operations, and the two hope that other NATO partners will embrace the concept as well...
