A Chinese supercomputer ranked fastest in the world four years running could soon slip from that top spot: Intel, the US-based microprocessor maker, says it’s been blocked by the US government from selling chips to China.

Representatives for Intel Corp. confirmed to the Wall Street Journal this week that it’s stopped shipping microprocessor chips to Chinese customers after the US Department of Commerce announced recently with little fanfare that its begun restricting exports to certain entities there over national security concerns. According to the Commerce Dept., the chips are powering high-speed supercomputers being used to conduct nuclear research on behalf of the Chinese government.   Continue reading “US bans Intel from sending computer chips to China amid nuclear research fears”

One recent Saturday, I was driving my wife to an appointment in Laurel, 30 minutes away. We left our Hyattsville home allowing enough time to arrive 15 minutes early.

As we passed through College Park on U.S. Route 1 going north, I could see police were blocking the road ahead. I turned at Greenbelt Road to take another route. Near the beltway I tried to get back onto Route 1 and realized police were blocking every street and driveway. Traffic on the neighborhood streets was now jammed in every direction.   Continue reading “Hugh’s News: An imperial traffic jam”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – An Air Force major general has been formally reprimanded and removed from his job for telling a group of officers that talking to Congress in a bid to block retirement of the A-10 Warthog amounted to “treason,” the Air Force said on Friday.

An investigation of remarks by Major General James Post III, who was the vice commander of Air Combat Command, found that his words to some 300 airmen at Nellis Air Force Base on Jan. 10 may have had a “chilling effect” on some of them, convincing them not to speak with lawmakers.   Continue reading “Air Force general reprimanded over A-10 ‘treason’ remark”

The pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC has picked US Senator Tom Cotton to make war against Iran, amid the Obama administration’s efforts to negotiate peace with the Islamic Republic, an American military analyst in New York says.

In an interview on Tuesday, the freshman Republican senator from Arkansas said he wants the United States to bomb Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, a war he believes would only take a few days to win outright.   Continue reading “Cotton’s anti-Iran rhetoric designed to please AIPAC masters: American military analyst”

When 10-year-old Rafi Meitiv saw a police car at his school recently, he ducked to hide.

That’s not the reaction his mother, Danielle Meitiv, wants her son to have when he sees police officers. But after his father was threatened with arrest in December, the boy is skittish around police, even having nightmares.   Continue reading “‘Walk Heard Around the World’: Parents Face 5 Years of Legal Purgatory”

Patriot groups across the country are preparing to launch a ‘Counter Jade Helm’ operation to keep tabs on a controversial U.S. military exercise that some fear is part of preparations to train troops for civil unrest and martial law.

To whom this may concern;

Are you serious? I voted for one person and that was Ron Paul! You ask me to stand with Rand, Why? Is he going to save this country from the inevitable disaster that is upon us? I doubt it!

What a disgrace these politicians have become, they care for no one but themselves and trust me I’ve shaken many hands while being lied too directly to my face. I used to think Rand was that apple that wouldn’t fall far from the Ron Paul tree but not only did it fall from that tree, it continued its path right off a cliff!   Continue reading “An open response letter to Rand Paul”

Staten Island, NY- Ramsey Orta, the man who filmed NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo using a banned chokehold technique on Eric Garner, has not been released from prison this week despite posting bail.

Orta, 23, was indicted last December on gun charges shortly after a grand jurydeclined to indict Pantaleo for the death of Eric Garner. Orta was accused of placing a handgun in a teenager’s waistband and faces two felony weapon charges and a misdemeanor weapon possession charge in that case. After Orta was arrested, the New York City Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association made a statement proposing the idea that it was “criminals like Mr. Orta who carry illegal firearms who stand to benefit the most by demonizing the good work of police officers.”   Continue reading “Release Of Jailed Man Who Filmed NYPD Choking Of Eric Garner Delayed Despite Posting Bail”

State laws in the “may issue” states vary quite a bit.  In New York, it appears that the state has to grant a license, or at lease deny one withing a certain time limit, but bureaucratic maneuvers make it vary across the State and the time limits are widely ignored.   It is impossible to get a permit in New York City.  In New Jersey, permits are pretty much limited to former police officers, former judges, and the politically connected.  In Hawaii, almost no one gets permits except for a few armed guards.    Continue reading “Could Governor Christe Change NJ Gun Law with a Stroke of a Pen?”
