Portland protests: US federal agents 'will not retreat', Chad Wolf says
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53489995
Speaking during a press conference on Tuesday, Mr Wolf said federal
law enforcement officers in Portland were only targeting and arresting
demonstrators who had been identified as being involved in "criminal
activity".
U.S. Homeland Security confirms three units sent paramilitary officers to Portland
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-global-race-protests-agents/us-homeland-security-confirms-three-units-sent-paramilitary-officers-to-portland-idUSKCN24M2RL
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Customs and Border
Protection arm confirmed on Tuesday it has deployed officers from three
paramilitary-style units to join a federal crackdown on protests against
police violence in Portland, Oregon.
Trump blasts Beijing in public, but privately Trump org imports tons of Chinese goods
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/07/21/politics/trump-org-china-imports/index.html
President Donald Trump has cast himself as tough on China
and promised that his trade negotiations with Beijing would
economically benefit everyday Americans, even as Trump-owned properties
have continued to contribute to the trade deficit with the country he
rails about.
Since
September of last year, Trump properties in the US have imported more
than eight tons of goods from China, CNN has learned by reviewing US
customs data compiled by ImportGenius, which tracks information
companies are legally bound to provide to US customs when they import
goods to the US. The imports have arrived to decorate his properties
while the President has sought to dress down China.
More than six tons of tables were delivered to Trump International Hotel in New York last fall. On the same day, Trump tweeted, "We are doing very well in our negotiations with China."

Coronavirus vaccine: When will we have one?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51665497
When will we have a coronavirus vaccine?
A
vaccine would normally take years, if not decades, to develop.
Researchers hope to achieve the same amount of work in only a few
months.
Most experts think a vaccine is likely to become widely
available by mid-2021, about 12-18 months after the new virus, known
officially as Sars-CoV-2, first emerged.
That would be a huge scientific feat and there are no guarantees it will work.
Four
coronaviruses already circulate in human beings. They cause common cold
symptoms and we don't have vaccines for any of them.
John Bolton says there's 'disagreement' between Israel and US on sovereignty plan
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/283919
In an interview with Galei Tzahal’s Efi Triger which was
released Tuesday morning, Bolton said that Kushner opposes unilateral
actions by Israel, including the application of sovereignty in parts of
Judea and Samaria.
“I think there’s obviously a disagreement. Jared is still trying to
sustain his peace plan and he’s worried about unilateral action or
American recognition of unilateral action. Personally, I would go ahead
and do it.”
Bolton added that he will not be backing either Trump or Joe Biden in
the upcoming presidential election, and said that the election season
is an “optimal time” for Israel to move forward with its “own national
security interest”.
“I’m not advocating the election of Joe Biden. For me, in November,
I’m going to write-in the name of a third person. It’s not a happy
election for me.”
“I think the next few months are an optimal time for Israel to act in its own national security interests.”
Federal agents, local streets: A ‘red flag’ in Oregon
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) —
Federal law enforcement officers’ actions at protests in Oregon’s
largest city, done without local authorities’ consent, are raising the
prospect of a constitutional crisis — one that could escalate as weeks
of demonstrations find renewed focus in clashes with camouflaged,
unidentified agents outside Portland’s U.S. courthouse.
Trump says the US has 'the best mortality rate' in the world. That's not true
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/07/20/politics/donald-trump-coronavirus-mortality-rate-intl/index.html
During a meandering and occasionally hostile interview with Fox News
on Sunday, President Donald Trump made a very bold claim: that the
United States has the lowest mortality rate from Covid-19 anywhere in
the world.
"I heard
we have one of the lowest, maybe the lowest, mortality rate anywhere in
the world," Trump told "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace. "Do you
have the numbers please? I heard we had the best mortality rate," he
added to White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, who was
off-camera.
When McEnany
returned with a piece of paper, Trump turned on Wallace. "Number one low
mortality rate," he said, attacking Wallace for reporting "fake news"
in the process. "You said we had the worst mortality rate in the world,
and we have the best."
But the President's claim is not true. And it's not even close.
The US in fact has one of the highest death rates
from the coronavirus of any country, and is worse than several
badly-hit countries like Brazil, Mexico and Russia, according to data
collected by Johns Hopkins University
According to Wallace, Trump also waved a graph showing a slightly different metric to tout his claim -- the case-fatality rate.
This
is simply a country's number of confirmed deaths divided by its number
of confirmed cases. It's a more problematic measure because it depends
heavily on how much testing a country is or is not doing. A country that
has consistently tested its general population will have a very low
case-fatality rate, while a country that tests only sick people in
hospitals will have a very high one.
Nonetheless,
the US still ranks in the top 60 countries worldwide by this measure,
according to JHU, around the same as Brazil and Peru and worse than
dozens of other nations.
In other words, there is no measure by which Trump's claim that the US has "the best" mortality rate is true.
I took a closer look at the cognitive test Trump claims to have aced
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jul/21/donald-trump-cognitive-test-closer-look
The test is called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and was
created by the neurologist Dr Ziad Nasreddine in 1996. Talking to
MarketWatch on Monday, Nasreddine stressed that the test “is supposed to
be easy for someone who has no cognitive impairment”, stressing that
“this is not an IQ test or the level of how a person is extremely
skilled or not. The test is supposed to help physicians detect early
signs of Alzheimer’s.”
Fact check: Trump's dishonest '911' ad fear-mongers about Biden
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/07/21/politics/fact-check-trump-ad-biden-police-911/index.html
President Donald Trump's campaign has released another TV ad that dishonestly tries to raise fears about former Vice President Joe Biden's views on policing.
The ad released Monday, the latest in a series of similarly
fear-mongering ads from the Trump campaign, suggests that a Biden
presidency would result in 911 calls from senior citizens going
unanswered.
That is just nonsense.
Biden has not proposed anything that
could result in 911 calls no longer being answered. He has repeatedly
and explicitly opposed the idea of "defunding the police," and he has proposed
a $300 million increase in federal funding for community policing.
Biden has not specifically weighed in on a proposal for a 50% cut to
Seattle's police budget, which the ad insinuates he supports.
The ad relies on a single Biden comment to a progressive activist during a video chat
earlier this month, in which Biden suggested he was "yes, absolutely"
open to redirecting some police funding toward social services, mental
health counseling and affordable housing.
We'll
lay out the context for that comment below. But even if you interpret
Biden's "yes, absolutely" in a way that is charitable to the Trump
campaign, nothing Biden has said comes close to justifying the Trump
campaign's terrifying vision of a Biden presidency.
But, again, there was no call from Biden
to slash police budgets to the extent that there would be nobody
working at a 911 dispatch center.
Rand Paul: 'No place' for feds 'rounding people up at will' in Portland
Sen. Rand Paul
(R-Ky.) on Monday spoke out against federal officers “rounding people
up at will” in Portland, Ore., saying the handling of unrest there
should be left to local law enforcement.
“We cannot give up liberty for security. Local law enforcement can and should be handling these situations in our cities but there is no place for federal troops or unidentified federal agents rounding people up at will,” Paul tweeted Monday.

Andrew Napolitano
slammed the Trump administration for sending federal law enforcement to
Portland in response to violent protests in Oregon's largest city, with
the Fox News senior judicial analyst calling the move
"unconstitutional" and "just plain wrong."
Democrats seek probe into ‘secret police force’ in Oregon
https://www.ft.com/content/c2066705-b769-4dff-80c2-2ccb82711486
Senior Democratic lawmakers have called for inquiries into the Trump administration’s use of federal law enforcement officers to quell protests in Oregon, saying the administration did not have “unfettered authority” to crack down on peaceful demonstrations.
The request from Jerry Nadler, the chairman of the House judiciary committee, and Carolyn Maloney, who chairs the House oversight committee, came after local officials in Oregon accused the Trump administration of using unlawful and “abhorrent” tactics in Portland, the state’s largest city.
“This is a matter of utmost urgency. Citizens are concerned that the administration has deployed a secret police force, not to investigate crimes but to intimidate individuals it views as political adversaries, and that the use of these tactics will proliferate throughout the country,” Mr Nadler and Ms Maloney stated.
"They're kidnapping people": "Trump's secret police" snatch Portland protesters into unmarked vans

Democratic leaders in Oregon called on the Trump administration to withdraw federal forces from Portland after footage emerged of camouflaged federal officers snatching protesters off the streets and detaining them in unmarked minivans.
Democratic leaders in Oregon called on the Trump administration to withdraw federal forces from Portland after footage emerged of camouflaged federal officers snatching protesters off the streets and detaining them in unmarked minivans.
Officers from the U.S. Marshals Special Operations Group and Custom and Border Protection's Border Patrol Tactical Unit have been deployed to protect federal property in Portland amid ongoing protests since July 14, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting. But the officials have also detained protesters who are not near federal property, the outlet reported, and it is unclear if all of the detained individuals were involved in alleged criminal activity.
Trump’s Legal Justification for the Abduction of Portland Protesters Is Absurd
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/07/trump-legal-justification-portland-secret-police.html
Over the weekend, a group of Portland, Oregon, moms confronted
federal officers who had fired tear gas at them and other peaceful
protesters on Saturday outside of a federal courthouse. The escalation
of the Portland protests came as unidentified federal officers in
paramilitary uniforms were caught on tape abducting protesters and as
President Donald Trump announced
on Monday that he might send “more federal law enforcement” to cities
“run by liberal Democrats” to replicate the Portland tactics against
protesters, including efforts to “grab them, a lot of people in jail.”
On Monday, it was reported
that the Department of Homeland Security would be sending 150 federal
agents to Chicago this week with an unspecified mandate. The apparent
legal justification for the abduction of protesters is weak, and it
should be vigorously challenged in the courts before Trump can export
these tactics to other cities for use against citizens exercising their
First Amendment rights.
Trump pounding at defund the police, but Biden is an elusive target
https://www.foxnews.com/media/trump-pounding-at-defund-the-police-but-biden-is-an-elusive-target
Things would be so much easier for the Trump campaign if Joe Biden was in favor of defunding the police.
But
the president and his team are determined to tie every out-there
left-wing position around their opponent’s neck, brushing aise his
denials.
But Biden is a fascinating case study. While he’s certainly more
liberal than any past Democratic standard-bearer of the modern era, he’s
largely avoided embracing the most controversial proposals from the
Bernie/AOC wing of the party. Biden has said repeatedly he doesn’t
support defunding the police, he didn’t back the Green New Deal and
refused to support Medicare for All, drawing flak from the woke
progressives.
But President Trump took a very different tack in the Chris Wallace interview that aired Sunday.
“Biden wants to defund the police,” Trump said.
“No he, sir, he does not,” Wallace countered.
“Look,”
Trump said. “He signed a charter with Bernie Sanders; I will get that
one...Did you read the charter that he agreed to with...”
“It says nothing about defunding the police,” Wallace said.
“Oh really? It says abolish, it says -- let’s go. Get me the charter, please.”
An aide brought the document, and Wallace was right--it did not address taking money away from police departments.
Federal agents in unmarked cars, 'wall of moms': Here's what's happening in Portland
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/07/20/portland-protests-federal-agents-unmarked-cars-and-walls-moms/5470780002/
The agents come from the U.S. Marshals Special
Operations Group and an elite U.S. Customs and Border Protection team
based on the U.S.-Mexico border and have been deployed to protect
federal property.
Last week, video also
surfaced of the federal authorities using unmarked vehicles to detain
people, seemingly without an explanation.
'They Just Started Waling On Me': Violence In Portland As U.S. Agents Clamp Down

President Trump defended the federal response. "We are trying to help Portland, not hurt it," he tweeted on
Sunday. "Their leadership has, for months, lost control of the
anarchists and agitators. They are missing in action. We must protect
Federal property, AND OUR PEOPLE."
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf brushed aside criticism that federal officers are inciting violence.
"I don't need invitations by the state, state mayors or state governors to do our job," Wolf said Monday on Fox News. "We're going to do that, whether they like us there or not."
Portland protests: All you need to know about Trump's crackdown
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53473732
Senior Democrat Nancy Pelosi said "unidentified Stormtroopers" were
"kidnapping protesters". Another Democrat Ro Khanna described those
involved as "secret federal agents".
So, who exactly are they?
They
belong to a new federal force created last month in an executive order
signed by President Trump which tasks them to protect historic
monuments, memorials, statues, and federal facilities.
The
personnel are drawn from a range of teams including the Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) agency and the US Marshals Service. The Federal
Protection Service, part of the Homeland Security and charged with
protecting government buildings, also has officers in Portland and has
detained protesters.
The US Marshals Service's Special
Operations Group says it is "deployed in high-risk and sensitive law
enforcement situations, national emergencies, civil disorder and natural
disasters."
When asked about the arrest of a protester captured
on video, the CBP said the individual was suspected of destroying
federal property. They said agents had identified themselves and were
wearing CBP insignia but their names were not displayed "due to recent
doxing incidents against law enforcement personnel who serve and protect
our country."
Some of those CBP agents in Portland photographed
in camouflage are in the Border Patrol Tactical Unit, the agency's
equivalent to a Swat team.

Navy veteran praised as 'Captain Portland' after beating by federal officers during riots
https://www.foxnews.com/us/portland-protest-navy-veteran-federal-officers-baton-pepper-spray
Federal officers were seen in a video that has since gone viral striking a Navy veteran with a baton and firing tear gas at him when he failed to pull back from a federal courthouse in Portland, Ore., Saturday night.
Christopher
David, 53, was seen standing with his arms at his side in front of a
group of federal officers outside the Mark O. Hatfield Courthouse
Saturday night. One federal officer strikes him at least three times
with a baton before another uses a can of pepper spray on his eyes,
according to a video of the incident first shared by Portland Tribune reporter Zane Sparling.
David,
wearing a white sweatshirt with the word Navy written across, a mask
and a black backpack, walks away from the federal officers, flipping
them the middle finger. The 11-second video clip has since been viewed
more than 9.5 million times.
David, a Portland resident who served in the U.S. Navy for more than
eight years, said he took the bus downtown to join protesters and looked
for federal officers before he “stood in the street in front of them
and I started asking them if it was OK to violate their oath of the
Constitution.”
Flynn urges appeals court to end the battle over dismissing his case
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/20/michael-flynn-appeals-court-case-dismissal-372929
“To
allow Judge Sullivan to delay and generate litigation against a criminal
defendant is unconstitutional,” Flynn’s lawyers, Sidney Powell and
Jesse Binnall, say in the filing. “This action itself diminishes the
status of the federal judiciary as an independent bulwark for the rule
of law.”
Even
if Sullivan is deemed to lack standing, whether his case gets taken up
by the full appeals court is another matter. Any active D.C. Circuit
judge can request a poll of the full court, even if no litigant seeks it
or has standing to do so.
Trump law enforcement officials brush off pleas to butt out of Portland
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/07/20/ken-cuccinelli-federal-law-enforcement-portland-372570
President Donald Trump’s top law
enforcement officials on Monday defended the descent of militarized
government forces upon Portland, Ore., rejecting pleas from local and
state leaders to pull back the fusion of federal officers.
In an interview on CNN, acting deputy Homeland Security Secretary Ken Cuccinelli claimed
the department deployed federal law enforcement personnel to Portland
over the July 4 weekend after having received “locally generated”
intelligence regarding “planned attacks” on federal facilities.
The
remarks from the three senior administration officials, none of whom
were confirmed by the Senate to serve in their current roles, come amid
national scrutiny of protesters’ treatment at the hands of DHS forces in
Portland.
One
viral video of the protests depicts a Navy veteran, who is standing
still, being beaten with a baton and tear-gassed by a group of masked
officers.
Another
piece of footage from Portland widely circulated online shows two men
wearing camouflage loading a protester into an unmarked van while
refusing to identify themselves to onlookers.
Asked
about criticisms of officers’ conduct Monday, Wolf placed blame on
“local leaders” in Portland whom he said “have fostered this environment
that allows these individuals to … do these very violent acts,
destructive acts night after night after night.”
Jerusalem court to rule on Malka Leifer in September
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/283875
An Israeli court said Monday it would rule in September if an
Orthodox Jewish teacher accused of sexually abusing children in
Australia will be extradited, a courts spokeswoman told AFP.
The Jerusalem District Court heard new arguments by defense lawyers
Monday against the extradition of Malka Leifer, the latest chapter in
years of legal battles.
The court had ruled in May that she was mentally competent to stand trial, rejecting defense arguments to the contrary.
Leifer was not in court on Monday but took part by videoconference, the Israel Courts Administration spokeswoman said.
She is accused of child sex abuse while she was a teacher and
principal at a haredi Jewish school in Melbourne, where she had
emigrated from hernative Israel.
According to Australian media, she is facing 74 counts of child sex
abuse, but her lawyers say there were only "three actual complaints."
After allegations against her surfaced in Australia in 2008, Leifer
and her family left for Israel and have been living in the town of
Emmanuel.
Defense at extradition hearing: Leifer’s students effectively consented to abuse
https://www.timesofisrael.com/defense-at-extradition-hearing-leifers-students-effectively-consented-to-abuse/
State prosecutor Matan Akiva flatly rejected the claims, saying the alleged victims were in no place to say “no” to Leifer and that their principal had total control over them. Moreover, he argued that the nature of their ultra-Orthodox community in Melbourne left the girls without the tools to be able to cope with such abuse.
At a long-awaited extradition hearing for Malka Leifer on Monday, the
defense team of the former headmaster at an Australian school sought to
argue that those who accuse their client of sexual abuse had
effectively consented to it.
The highly anticipated session at the Jerusalem District Court
was the 69th hearing convened since Leifer was initially arrested in
2014, six years after fleeing Australia, where she now faces 74 charges
of child sex abuse.
Defense attorney Nick Kaufman argued that the three sisters accusing
his client were around or even over the consenting age of 18 when the
alleged abuse took place. He did not state specifically that the
allegations were true, but argued that even if they were, there were
holes in their stories, which should prevent Leifer from being
extradited.

Trump’s Deceptive Ad on Biden and Defunding the Police
https://www.factcheck.org/2020/06/trumps-deceptive-ad-on-biden-and-defunding-the-police/
A Trump for President ad deceptively suggests that presumptive
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden supports a campaign to “defund
the police.” But Biden has said explicitly that he doesn’t.
However, Biden has said categorically and repeatedly that he opposes
defunding the police, a cause espoused by some of those protesting the
death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis and police
misconduct in general.
“No, I don’t support defunding the police,” Biden told
“CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell on June 8. “I support
conditioning federal aid to police, based on whether or not they meet
certain basic standards of decency and honorableness. And, in fact, are
able to demonstrate they can protect the community and everybody in the
community.”
Biden reiterated that position in an op-ed published in USA Today on June 10.
Fact checking the Republican claim that Biden plans to defund the police, and Biden’s claim that Trump put brake on coronavirus tests

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s campaign team is
misrepresenting Democratic rival Joe Biden’s stance on improving police
practices following George Floyd’s death.
In ads and emails this week, the Trump campaign and the
Republican National Committee assert that Biden would “defund the
police.” That’s not Biden’s position. The former vice president has
repeatedly made clear he would boost money for social services and
condition federal dollars on police adhering to standards.
Trump ad ties Biden to defund police effort, warns Americans 'won't be safe'
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/507445-trump-campaign-ad-ties-biden-to-defund-police-effort-warns-americans-wont
The Trump campaign is doubling down on its message of "law and order"
with a dark ad released Wednesday telling Americans they "won't be
safe" if presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden is elected president.
Biden has refused to back calls to defund the police but has voiced
support for further justice system reforms and expressed sympathy
with activists protesting racial inequality.
“The vast majority of
police are decent, honorable people, but there are bad apples, man. And
we have to change the way we teach the police,” Biden said at a recent
fundraiser. “We have to make sure that we deal with an entire new set of
standards at the federal level like Barack [Obama] and I were doing
before we left office. There’s so much we can do, the country is ready
for it. We don’t have to defund the police departments, we have to make
sure they meet minimum basic standards of decency.”
A similar Trump campaign ad that aired earlier this month received four Pinocchios from The Washington Post’s fact-checker.

over whether Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden “wants to
defund” the police in the tease for an interview set to air Sunday.
In a clip of the taped interview,
“Fox News Sunday” host Wallace rebuffs Trump’s claim that Biden’s unity

Donald Trump testily lashed out at Chris Wallace after the Fox News Sunday host, during an interview to air this weekend, called out the president's false statement that Joe Biden wants to defund all police departments.
"Let's go!" the president said forcefully, appearing to look at
off-camera staff and give an order for someone to retrieve a Democratic
document he had just misquoted.
"Get me the charter, please," a clearly agitated Mr Trump said.
At the end of the brief-but-testy exchange, Mr Wallace looks bemused as he simply says, "Alright..."

In an excerpt from a Fox News interview released Friday, President
Trump falsely claimed that Joe Biden supports “defunding the police” and
signed a “charter” with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) supporting the
progressive rallying cry, in what appears to be an attempt by the
president to pin the controversial idea on his opponent to make him
appear more radical.
Donald Trump v Fox News Sunday: extraordinary moments from a wild interview
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jul/19/donald-trump-fox-news-sunday-chris-wallace-interview
‘I’ll be right eventually’
The interview was especially combative when it touched on Covid-19,
which has infected 3.7 million and killed more than 140,000 people in
the US.
Wallace repeatedly pressed Trump about the death toll, which the
president attempted to deflect by pointing to mortality rates in other
countries and saying the US had “one of the lowest in the world”.
“That’s not true, sir,” Wallace said, correctly.
The argument continued, and Trump asked his press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, to “please bring me the mortality rate”.
“You have the numbers, please?” Trump asked. “Because I hear we have
the best mortality rate. Number, number one low mortality rate.”
Waving a paper, Trump said: “I hope you show this on air, because it shows what fake news is about.”
“I don’t think I’m fake news,” Wallace said.

https://time.com/5868739/trump-election-results-chris-wallace/
President Donald Trump refused to give a clear answer on whether he would accept this year’s presidential election results in an exclusive wide-ranging interview with Fox News, which aired Sunday.
Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace pressed Trump to “give a direct answer” on whether he would accept the Nov. 3 election results or not.
“I have to see. Look, you — I have to see. No, I’m
not going to just say ‘yes.’ I’m not going to say no and I didn’t last
time either,” Trump said.
