'Trying to convince him'

Japanese scientists were thrilled to receive significant interest from the packaging industry over their new seawater-degradable plastic. Breaking apart into nutritious compounds for ocean-borne bacteria in just 2 to 3 hours depending on the size and thickness, the invention could be a major solution to reducing plastic waste in the environment.

President Donald Trump on Friday moved to ensure American airspace dominance and protect the U.S. from foreign threats from above. “Summing up all three of today’s drones and aviation executive orders, our message is simple: American innovation belongs in American aerospace,” said Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Trump signed three executive orders, “Unleashing American Drone Dominance,” “Restoring American Airspace Sovereignty,” and “Leading the World in Supersonic Flight,” The Daily Signal has learned. The drone order expands commercial drone operations, secures supply chains, and boosts U.S. manufacturing. It launches initiatives to secure the drone supply chain, reducing reliance on hostile foreign manufacturers. “Since the beginning of his first term, President Trump has recognized the incredible potential of drones to boost American productivity, create high-skilled jobs and meet national needs in areas like public safety, infrastructure, inspection, agriculture, and more,” Kratsios told reporters on a conference call. “But for too long, red tape has hindered homegrown drone innovation, restricting commercial drone use, and burdening their development.” The order also prioritizes American-made drones in federal procurement and enables the export of U.S. drones. Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to the president and senior director for counterterrorism, said the drone order was motivated by public outrage about the drones spotted over New Jersey this past winter. “Drones are a disruptive technology,” Gorka said. “They have an amazing potential for both good and ill. The president understands this, and today, he will act decisively to allow American innovation while at the same time protecting our nation.” The order will secure the skies from two type of drone users: “evildoers and idiots, the clueless and the careless,” he added. The “Restoring American Airspace Sovereignty” creates a federal task force to modernize drone regulation and respond to security threats. It directs the departments of Justice and Homeland Security to integrate counterdrone efforts into Joint Terrorism Task Forces. “We have a responsibility to protect and restore airspace sovereignty,” Kratsios said. “Under President Trump’s leadership, we are securing our borders for national security threats, including in the air, with large scale public events, such as the Olympics and the World Cup on the horizon.” It also directs the Federal Aviation Administration to expedite rules restricting drone flights over sensitive or critical areas. The “Leading the World in Supersonic Flight” order promotes U.S. leadership in supersonic aviation by repealing regulations that the administration thinks have blocked commercial supersonic flight. The order instructs the FAA to set new noise certification standards for supersonic aircraft and aims to allow coast-to-coast U.S. travel in less than four hours. “The U.S. used to be the global leader in this technology, but regulations have grounded progress for generations,” Kratsios said.” Reality is that Americans should be able to fly from New York to L.A. in under four hours.” The post Trump Signs Executive Orders Safeguarding American Airspace From Terrorism appeared first on The Daily Signal.

CNN Panel: We Absolutely Should Provide Medicaid for Illegals 'Picking Our Peaches'

Back in January, when Elon Musk made an strange hand gesture which resembled a Nazi or Roman salute while celebrating President Trump’s inauguration, the corporate media were eager to conclude that Musk’s on-stage awkwardness must categorically make him a Nazi. Yet last week, when Democratic Senator Cory Booker made an identical motion at the end of a speech in California, none of those same journalists even noticed. MRC analysts looked at all left-wing cable (CNN and MSNBC) and broadcast (ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS) coverage in the week following both Musk’s (January 20 through January 26) and Booker’s (May 31 through June 6) odd salutes, finding that not a single on-air speaker on any of the networks bothered to mention the Democratic Senator’s faux pas. Musk’s incident, however, received ample and immediate coverage: 16 minutes and 17 seconds, all told. Commentators on a panel for CNN, which was covering the January event live, instantly took notice of Musk’s hand gesture. PBS, meanwhile, was the first outlet to report on it as a breaking story. MSNBC quickly followed suit, though it should be noted that none of the other three broadcast networks got around to covering it on any of their flagship morning or evening newscasts. Although our study covered only the first week after each incident, for the sake of comparing apples to apples, it should be noted that the coverage of Elon’s salute extended long beyond the initial news cycle in which it occurred. To date, it has been brought up a total of 55 times on CNN, MSNBC, and PBS combined, but only 22 of those occurred during the week.  In fact, the incident is still receiving airtime. Its most recent mention was on the June 5 edition of CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, when it was brought up by Democratic Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh. The single longest discussion about it took place more than a month after the fact, on the February 23 edition of MSNBC’s Velshi.The salute was a part of a larger segment focusing entirely on the question of whether Musk was, in fact, a crypto-Nazi. In the days immediately following the gaffe, a few commentators gave Musk the benefit of the doubt. For example, on the January 21 edition of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Tulane University professor Walter Isaacson opined: “Well, obviously he did not intend it to be a Nazi salute… I mean, I’m sure he didn’t intend it to be a Nazi salute.”  But as time wore on, such analysis became vanishingly rare, especially after Musk gave a speech in front of Germany’s immigration restrictionist AFD party. Since then, no host or journalist on CNN or MSNBC has suggested the gesture was anything other than a deliberate Nazi salute. It’s also worth nothing that Musk’s gaffe occurred during one of the busiest news cycles in years — the inauguration of President Trump — which might explain why it received only modest coverage on the cable networks, and none at all from ABC, CBS, or NBC. These networks’ utter silence about Booker’s identical gaffe, however, cannot be explained away in the same fashion.  Booker, a sitting Democrat and media darling, was spared the coverage because his allies in the corporate press had no incentive to assassinate his character. This stark disparity in attention clearly indicates that the media’s selective outrage over Elon’s goofy gesture was more performative than genuine.  And of course it was. Elon Musk has done plenty to upset the left (and in the past 24 hours, much of the right as well), but the claim that he is a Nazi is the kind of thing one should only expect to hear on a liberal arts college campus, or perhaps on Keith Olbermann’s show.

One of the most shocking and horrifying scandals of the Biden administration was its botched handling of unaccompanied minor migrants who flooded into the country amid former President Joe Biden's open border chaos.Government whistleblowers sounded the alarm that the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement, under the prior administration's leadership, failed to thoroughly vet sponsors, ushering children into unsafe homes. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed those findings on Thursday.'Children's safety and security is nonnegotiable.'The agency issued a press release announcing that it discovered "widespread abuse" and "exploitation" of some of the children whom the ORR placed with "improperly vetted sponsors.""As a result, these children were subjected to physical abuse and sexual and labor exploitation," ICE stated.President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security launched a nationwide effort in February to locate unaccompanied minors whom the ORR placed with sponsors. As part of this effort, agents from ICE's Homeland Security Investigations are conducting welfare checks to ensure that children are safe from trafficking, exploitation, and abuse. They are also visiting the children and their sponsors to verify that they are receiving proper care, attending school, and complying with immigration proceedings.RELATED: Trump admin pulls children from migrant shelters over sexual abuse claims Photographer: Christopher Dilts/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesWhile these welfare checks are not focused on immigration enforcement, in situations where ICE agents encounter illegal aliens, they are taking them into custody.ICE stated that agents have already uncovered "alarming" cases, such as sponsors who had committed serious crimes, including hit-and-run, aggravated assault, larceny, counterfeiting, drug trafficking, prostitution, attempted murder, and possession of child sexual abuse material. Additionally, some sponsors reportedly forced children into labor and subjected them to unacceptable living conditions. ICE also indicated that sponsors paid smugglers to bring children into the United States and falsely claimed to be related to the children."In some of the most disturbing cases, girls were pregnant with children fathered by their alleged sponsors — which highlights the grave failures of previous vetting procedures and the dangerous consequences of placing minors in unsafe environments," ICE stated.RELATED: Biden admin placed unaccompanied immigrant children in 'unregulated and unsafe' living conditions: Report Photographer: Christopher Dilts/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesICE spokesperson Laszlo Baksay said that agents are working tirelessly to locate the children. "Children's safety and security is nonnegotiable," Baksay stated. "The previous administration's failure to implement meaningful safeguards has allowed vulnerable kids to fall into the hands of criminals.""This is the responsibility of any government, Republican or Democrat, but it was the Trump administration that insisted on rigorous sponsor screening and biometric verification. Those guardrails were dismantled, and we're now seeing the consequences," Baksay added.Baksay urged the media to "focus less on political spin and more on the facts.""This is about the lives of children, and it's time we treat it with the seriousness [it] demands," Baksay remarked.Like Blaze News?

President Trump and former Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk have been at odds over Trump’s "big, beautiful bill," which Musk has criticized as a “disgusting abomination” that increases the federal deficit and undermines the DOGE’s cost-cutting efforts. Trump has declared the bill "arguably the most significant piece of legislation that will ever be signed in the history of our country,” praising its massive tax cuts, border security measures, and economic growth potential. The public and politicians alike are taking sides. Some are eager to see the bill, which includes massive tax cuts, policies like no tax on tips and overtime, border security, and energy dominance, passed, as it will usher forth President Trump’s economic agenda. Fiscal conservatives, however, are concerned that the bill raises the debt ceiling and includes no permanent funding cuts, arguing that the country is on a one-way track to implosion if federal spending isn’t curbed. Responses to Musk's claim about Trump in the Epstein files are varied as well. From outright dismissal and meme-making to urgent calls for investigation and transparency, conservative influencers are rejecting the accusation as baseless while Democrats and some media outlets are amplifying demands for the files' release.Here at Blaze Media, our hosts are thoroughly exploring the Trump-Musk feud, dissecting its implications from every perspective.
