WASHINGTON, Sept 28 (Reuters) - The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives held its first hearing on Thursday in its impeachment inquiry against Democratic President Joe Biden, less than three days before the government will partially shut down without congressional action. The hearing is not expected to reveal new information about Biden's financial ties to his troubled son Hunter Biden, 53, who pursued a range of international business ventures while struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.

"The door was wide open to those who purchased what a business associate described as the Biden brand," House Oversight Committee chair James Comer said.

"If Republicans had a smoking gun or even a dripping water pistol they would be presenting it today. But they've got nothing," said Jamie Raskin, the panel's top Democrat. Lawmakers were due to hear from a forensic accountant, a former U.S. Justice Department official and two law professors.

The U.S. nuclear arsenal comprises thousands of nuclear weapons and three methods of delivery, sometimes called “legs.” Warheads can be launched from the air via strategic bombers carrying gravity bombs or cruise missiles, from the sea by submarines holding ballistic missiles, or from underground silos housing intercontinental ballistic missiles. Collectively, these delivery methods are referred to as “the Triad.” Currently all three legs of the Triad are being modernized at a cost of $494 billion, or about $50 billion every year from 2019 to 2028. The United States has stated it must maintain all three legs of the Triad in order to support the policy of deterrence — the credible threat of retaliation if it or an ally is attacked. The argument is that the Triad enables a second-strike capability — the ability to retaliate in the event of a nuclear attack — as each leg is a hedge against the failure of another. However, a debate has emerged among lawmakers and policy experts about whether the land-based leg of the Triad is still necessary or desirable. A recent survey found that many Americans support phasing out our land-based missiles because they are “outdated, destabilizing, and very expensive.” How many? The United States currently maintains around 5,800 nuclear warheads in its arsenal. Of these, about 3,800 are active warheads and 2,000 have been retired and are awaiting dismantlement. The inventory of deployed delivery systems consists of 66 bombers as well as dual-capable fighter aircrafts; 14 ballistic missile submarines; and 400 silos for intercontinental ballistic missiles. Air There are two distinct nuclear weapons systems delivered by plane: nuclear air-launched cruise missiles (ALCMs), which are guided and highly accurate, and gravity bombs, which require a plane to deploy them near a desired target. B-52 bombers carry nuclear-tipped ALCMs and B-2 stealth bombers have gravity bomb capabilities. Currently there are 20 B-2s and 46 B-52s deployed. The B-2 can carry up to 16 nuclear bombs like the B61-7, B61-11, and B83-1 gravity bombs. Each B-52 bomber carries up to 20 ALCMs like the AGM-86B. Current nuclear modernization plans include continued production of a new gravity bomb (B61-12) and a new nuclear cruise missile known as the Long Range Standoff Weapon (LRSO). The Air Force is also designing the B-21 “Raider” to replace the B-2 and B-52s, as well as the F-35 to replace the F-16 as the United States’ key nuclear-capable fighter aircraft. Sea The sea leg of the Triad currently consists of 14 Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs). These submarines are capable of firing ballistic missiles from submerged positions to hit an intended target. Current U.S. SSBNs can launch up to 20 nuclear-capable ballistic missiles with multiple warheads per missile. The Trident II D5 missile is the latest generation SSBN and can travel more than 7,000 kilometers. The sea leg of the triad is often considered the most essential, since submarines are difficult to track and destroy. The Ohio-class SSBNs will be replaced by the Columbia-class SSBN in the early 2030s and includes 12 scheduled submarines slotted for production. As of now, this modernization will cost around $109.8 billion. Ground The Triad’s land-based leg is composed of 400 deployed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). U.S. ICBMs are housed in underground silos in Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming, but silos stretch into Colorado and Nebraska as well. Each ICBM carries one warhead each — usually the W87 or the W78 — but can hold two or three warheads each. ICBMs remain on prompt alert, meaning they can be launched in minutes. Nuclear modernization plans include a replacement for the Minuteman III called the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent, and includes 400 new deployed missiles, modernization of the ICBM launch facilities and a total lifetime price tag of about $264 billion. The static nature of ICBM silos makes them vulnerable to attack and increases the risk of miscalculation. If the United States detects an incoming attack or what looks like an incoming attack, there is psychological pressure to launch the ICBMs before they can be destroyed in their silos — a sort of “use them or lose them” mentality. It is the combination of the vulnerability of ICBMs, the risk of miscalculation and the replacement cost that leads some experts to argue that the United States no longer needs a land-based nuclear weapon system.

NASA selected the final four candidate sample sites in August 2019, named Nightingale, Kingfisher, Osprey, and Sandpiper.[50] On 12 December 2019, they announced that Nightingale had been selected as the primary sample site and Osprey was selected as the backup site.[51] Both were within craters, with Nightingale near Bennu's north pole while Osprey was near the equator.[52] NASA planned to perform the first sampling in late August 2020;[53] NASA's originally planned Touch-and-Go (TAG) sample collection was scheduled for 25 August 2020, but was rescheduled for 20 October 2020, at 22:13 UTC.[54][55] On 15 April 2020, the first sample collection rehearsal was successfully performed at the Nightingale sample site. The exercise took OSIRIS-REx as close as 65 m (213 ft) from the surface before performing a back-away burn.[56][57] A second rehearsal was successfully completed on 11 August 2020, bringing OSIRIS-REx down to 40 m (130 ft) from the surface. This was the final rehearsal before the sample collection scheduled for 20 October 2020, at 22:13 UTC.[58][59] At 22:13 utc, on 20 October 2020, OSIRIS-REx successfully touched down on Bennu.[60] NASA confirmed via images taken during sampling that the sampler had made contact. The spacecraft touched down within 92 cm (36 in) of the target location.[61][62] A sample of the asteroid which was estimated to weigh at least 2 ounces (57 grams) was collected by OSIRIS-REx following the touch down.[17] After imaging the TAGSAM head, NASA concluded that there were rocks wedged in the mylar flap that is meant to keep the sample inside, causing the sample to slowly escape into space.[63] In order to prevent further loss of the sample through the flaps, NASA canceled the previously planned spinning maneuver meant to determine the mass of the sample as well as a navigational braking maneuver, and decided to stow the sample on 27 October 2020 rather than 2 November 2020 as originally planned, which was completed successfully. The collector head was observed hovering over the Sample Return Capsule (SRC) after the TAGSAM arm moved it into the proper position for capture, and the collector head was later secured onto the capture ring in the SRC.[63] When the head was seated into the Sample-Return Capsule's capture ring on 28 October 2020, the spacecraft performed a "backout check", which commanded the TAGSAM arm to back out of the capsule. This maneuver is designed to tug on the collector head and ensure that the latches – which keep the collector head in place – are well secured. Following the test, the mission team received telemetry confirming that the head was properly secured in the Sample-Return Capsule. Thereafter, on 28 October 2020, two mechanical parts on the TAGSAM arm were disconnected – these are the tube that carried the nitrogen gas to the TAGSAM head during sample collection and the TAGSAM arm itself. Over the next several hours, the mission team commanded the spacecraft to cut the tube that stirred up the sample through the TAGSAM head during sample collection, and separate the collector head from the TAGSAM arm. Once the team confirmed these activities were done, it commanded the spacecraft on 28 October 2020, to close and seal the Sample-Return Capsule, the final step of the sample stowage process of Bennu's samples.[64] To seal the SRC, the spacecraft closed the lid and then secured two internal latches. On inspecting images, it was observed that a few particles had escaped from the collector head during the stowage procedure, but it was confirmed that no particles would hinder the stowage process, since the team was confident that a plentiful amount of material remained inside of the head, more than the 60 g (2.1 oz) needed, and as much as 2,000 g (71 oz). The sample of Bennu was safely stored and ready for its journey to Earth. With the collector head secure inside the SRC, pieces of the sample would no longer be lost.[65]

A man allegedly murdered his wife and made it look like a suicide. Matheau Moore, 51, stands trial in Delaware County, Ohio. Wife Emily Noble, 52, was last seen on her birthday: May 24, 2020. She was reported missing the next day. Her body turned up in tragic and grisly fashion the following Sept. 16. She was found hanging from a tree in a wooded area near her home. There was reportedly a 20-inch USB cord around her neck. There were multiple injuries to her head and neck. Authorities determined that this was homicide. Noble was so badly decomposed authorities had to use dental records to identify her. Prosecutors argue Moore killed her and staged the hanging. He faces charges of murder and felonious assault. Moore’s previous wife Lisa Pedersen told WBNS in a June 2021 report that he once choked her when she was pregnant with their first son. It was New Year’s Day 2001, she said. They had been married three months. “He came over, and he did, for some reason, he ended up, yeah, putting his hands around my neck,” she reportedly said. “And he started to choke me.” It was the only time he put a hand on her, and they kept in touch throughout the years, Pedersen said. Though they maintained contact, she noted that he, contrary to contemporaneous media reports, claimed to be participating in the search for Noble. “Once the details were made clear to me, I started to lean toward his guilt,” she said. Both of their sons are now dead, according to WBNS. One of the children reportedly died at 17 by hanging in a park the summer before Noble’s disappearance.

We breakdown every country and decide which team they will each be on going forward. I think we are dangerously close to World War three so where will your Country end up?

Watch a spacecraft deliver an asteroid sample to Earth! Our OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security–Regolith Explorer) spacecraft is approaching Earth, and on Sept. 24, 2023, it will release its sample return capsule into the atmosphere on a path to land at the Department of Defense’s Utah Test and Training Range. The touchdown will mark the end of a seven-year journey to explore asteroid Bennu, collect a sample from its surface, and deliver it to Earth as the U.S’s first pristine asteroid sample. Scientists around the world will study the sample over the coming decades to learn about how our planet and solar system formed, as well as the origin of organics that may have led to life on Earth.

With this latest provocation, the UK and NATO have all but officially declared war on Russia, although they will deny it’s an act of war. Ukraine has said it seriously damaged two Russian naval vessels and struck port infrastructure in the Crimean city of Sevastopol early on Wednesday. The recent long-range missile attack by Ukraine on the home of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, will not likely change the course of the conflict, nor will it force anyone to the negotiation table and bring the war to an end. Quite the opposite, in fact. It will move Russia to retaliate against a more high value military targets, and extend their security perimeter even further. Is Britain attempting to provoke a larger Third World War? Zero Hedge reports… This week’s major Ukrainian attack on the Russian port of Sevastopol in Crimea was likely the largest strike on Russian naval targets since the war’s start. Significantly, the UK’s Sky News has confirmed that British-supplied long range missiles were used in the overnight Sept. 12-13 attack which likely damaged a Russian submarine and warship. “A Ukrainian and a Western source said that British Storm Shadow cruise missiles were deployed,” Sky News reports.

Biden Delivers Remarks at the 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly

Thankfully, the pilot of an F-35 jet safely ejected — but in a bit of a mystery, the world's most advanced fighter jet is nowhere to be found. The U.S. military wants help finding the plane, which is believed to have crashed. The unusual events took place Sunday north of Charleston, S.C., where a pilot from Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 ejected from their jet — specifically, an F-35B Lightning II. In a statement to NPR, the Marine Corps did not specify whether the jet's transponder was on, or whether it was carrying any armaments. An alert went out Sunday afternoon "The pilot ejected safely and was transferred to a local medical center in stable condition," said Joint Base Charleston, in a message sent on Sunday around 5:30 p.m. ET. "Emergency response teams are still trying to locate the F-35." The base is asking members of the public to get in touch if they've seen the plane or have any information that could lead to its recovery. The fighter jet is based at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. It comes from a squadron whose mission is to train pilots and support crews on the F-35. It also takes part in airshow demonstrations.

On the morning of 11 September 2001, 19 terrorists from the Islamist extreme group al Qaeda hijacked four commercial aircraft and crashed two of them into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. A third plane crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. After learning about the other attacks, passengers on the fourth hijacked plane, Flight 93, fought back, and the plane was crashed into an empty field in western Pennsylvania about 20 minutes by air from Washington, D.C. The Twin Towers ultimately collapsed, due to the damage from the impacts and subsequent fires. Nearly 3,000 people were killed from 93 different countries. Most of the fatalities were from the attacks on the World Trade Center. The Pentagon lost 184 civilians and servicemembers and 40 people were killed on Flight 93. It was the worst attack on American soil since the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941. After the Taliban refused to turn over the mastermind of the attacks, Osama Bin Laden, Operation Enduring Freedom officially began 7 October 2001 with American and British bombing strikes against al Qaeda and Taliban forces in Afghanistan. Initially, the Taliban was removed from power and al Qaeda was seriously crippled, but allied forces continually dealt with a stubborn Taliban insurgency, infrastructure rebuilding, and corruption among the Afghan National Army, Afghan National Police, and Afghan Border Police. Bin Laden would go into hiding for nearly 10 years. On 2 May 2011, U.S. Navy SEALs launched a nighttime raid on Bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, killing the al Qaeda leader. Operation Enduring Freedom officially ended 28 December 2014, although coalition forces remained on the ground to assist with training Afghan security forces. American troops departed Afghanistan in August 2021.

Michigan State has suspended fourth-year coach Mel Tucker without pay amid allegations of sexual misconduct involving prominent activist Brenda Tracy, who has accused Tucker of inappropriate behavior during a phone call in April 2022. While a formal hearing to determine if these actions violated school policy won't occur until early October, Tucker is not expected to retain his position. He was signed to a 10-year, $95 million contract extension in 2021, which at the time was the largest ever given to a college football coach in terms of overall value. If so, Michigan State would be in the market for the program's third head coach since 2007. The potential candidates include several coaches with current or former ties to the program, most notably interim coach Harlon Barnett and Wisconsin defensive coordinator Mike Tressel, who was previously an assistant with the Spartans for more than a decade. Another possible contender is Tucker's predecessor, former successful Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio, who returned to the program this week in the role of associate head coach.
