W&W&$!$! y:   Monday, July 12 President Joe Biden met with police chiefs, elected officials and a community intervention expert at the White House to address rising gun violence in the country. We recognize that we have to come together for the first responsibility of democracy: to keep each other safe, Biden said. Army Gen. Austin Scott Miller, the top U.S. general in Afghanistan, stepped down in a small ceremony inside the militarys headquarters in Kabul, marking a symbolic end to 20 years of American military involvement there. The Food and Drug Administration added a new warning to Johnson & Johnsons single-shot COVID-19 vaccine about the small possible risk of a rare neurological reaction called Guillain-Barre syndrome, an immune system disorder that can cause muscle weakness and paralysis. Chinas military said it drove away the United States warship USS Benfold when it entered waters near the disputed Paracel Islands without Chinas approval. Naval officials said it had right of innocent passage under international law and did nothing illegal. The State Department imposed visa restrictions on 100 Nicaraguan officials it accused of being involved in President Daniel Ortega-Murillos rights abuses including a crackdown on political opponents. Specifically, those targeted in todays action helped to enable the Ortega-Murillo regimes attacks on democracy and human rights, a statement read. The Coast Guard issued a warning to Cuban Americans in Florida against crossing into Cuba in support of anti-government protestors in the small island country, calling such travel unsafe and illegal. Tuesday, July 13 Biden criticized the slew of Republican state voting bills that restrict voting rights and are widely seen as discriminatory that have gained traction ever since former President Donald Trump falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen. In America, if you lose, you accept the results, and follow the Constitution, Biden said. You dont call facts fake and then try to bring down the American experiment just because youre unhappy. U.S. District Judge Linda Parker said she would rule on a request to discipline lawyers working for former President Donald Trump, including Sidney Powell and L. Lin Wood, in coming weeks after pointedly pressing the attorneys, in a five-hour hearing, to explain what steps they had taken to ensure their court filings, in a suit seeking to overturn the 2020 election results, were accurate. Biden nominated Rahul Gupta, a primary-care physician who previously served as West Virginias health commissioner, to lead the Office of National Drug Control Policy and steer the countrys response to the opioid epidemic. The State Department updated its business advisory to warn of heightened risk of violating U.S. law for companies that conduct business in Xinjiang, a region where China is being accused of carrying out an ongoing genocide against Uighurs and other mainly Muslim ethic minorities. A Justice Department indictment showed prosecutors charged four Iranians who are allegedly intelligence operatives with conspiring to kidnap journalist Masih Alinejad, an outspoken critic of the Iranian government. Wednesday, July 14 Secretary of State Antony Blinken appealed to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations to take action to end violence and restore democracy in Myanmar after its military coup that has left at least 902 people killed in the ensuing crackdown and displaced tens of thousands. The National Center for Health Statistics released data showing that deaths from drug overdoses rose to more than 93,000 last year, an increase of 21,000 or nearly 30% over 2019. The Justice Departments inspector general released a report saying that the FBI failed to properly investigate serious sex-abuse allegations against former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar. The report also said FBI officials gave misleading or false answers when confronted about those failures. Thursday, July 15 The Pentagon confirmed that some of the former Columbian soldiers accused of being involved in the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise received U.S. military training in the past. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy sent a 22-page advisory to Biden calling for a national effort to fight misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines. Today we live in a world where misinformation poses an imminent and insidious threat to our nations health, Murthy said. Biden called Cuba a failed state that is repressing their citizens. Biden met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel to discuss topics on which they are at odds, including the Nord Stream 2 pipeline being built from Russia to Germany, which the U.S. fears will increase European reliance on Russian gas, and whether to partner with China on business projects, in an attempt to strengthen ties weakened under the Trump administration. Congressional Black Caucus Chair Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) was arrested for her participation in a protest outside the Capitol calling for the Senate to pass voting rights legislation and to end the filibuster. The Biden administration announced sweeping new protections for the Tongass National Forest in Alaska, including an end to large-scale old-growth logging and a proposal to bar road development in more than half of the forest, reversing one of Trumps biggest public land decisions. The Tongass is the only national forest where old-growth logging takes place on an industrial scale. Friday, July 16 District Judge Andrew Hanen blocked new applications for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which protects immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children from deportation, arguing that it was illegally created by former President Barack Obama in 2012. Biden promised to retaliate against the decision, calling it deeply disappointing. The Treasury Department sanctioned seven Chinese officials in Chinas Hong Kong liaison office accused of systematically undermining democracy in the former British colony. Saturday, July 17 The New York Times reported on attempts by military prosecutors to wipe information gained from brutal torture of a detainee at Guantnamo Bay from being used in a trial. Sunday, July 18 No news to report. 0 1 STdewx|}cdstD E T U g h hmWhL h hL hgY+hL h >hL hlhL hL5hBhL5 hBhLhLhHhp h}5hBhB51  " * TexR}P]dt & FgdL & FgdL & FgdLE U h  & FgdL & FgdL&1h:pL/ =!"#$%666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666662 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~ OJPJQJ_HmH nH sH tH @`@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA D Default Paragraph FontRiR 0 Table Normal4 l4a (k ( 0No List D@D B List Paragraph ^m$PK![Content_Types].xmlj0 u$Nwc$ans@8JbVKS(.Y$8MVgLYS]"(U֎_o[gv; f>KH|;\XV!]օ Oȥsh]Hg3߶PK!֧6 _rels/.relsj0 }Q%v/C/}(h"O = C?hv=Ʌ%[xp{۵_Pѣ<1H0ORBdJE4b$q_6LR7`0̞O,En7Lib/SeеPK!kytheme/theme/themeManager.xml M @}w7c(EbˮCAǠҟ7՛K Y, e.|,H,lxɴIsQ}#Ր ֵ+!,^$j=GW)E+& 8PK!\theme/theme/theme1.xmlYOoE#F{o'NDuر i-q;N3' G$$DAč*iEP~wq4;{o?g^;N:$BR64Mvsi-@R4Œ mUb V*XX! cyg$w.Q "@oWL8*Bycjđ0蠦r,[LC9VbX*x_yuoBL͐u_.
