Trump, who recently encouraged the NFL to give Colin Kaepernick a chance at playing again if he can demonstrate his talent, appears to have been responding to Fauci’s conversation with CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta about the football season.
“Unless players are essentially in a bubble — insulated from the community and they are tested nearly every day — it would be very hard to see how football is able to be played this fall,” said Fauci, reports CNN. “If there is a second wave, which is certainly a possibility and which would be complicated by the predictable flu season, football may not happen this year.”
Dr. Allen Sills, chief medical officer for the NFL, responded: “Dr. Fauci has identified the important health and safety issues we in the NFL players Association, together with our joint medical advisers, or addressing to mitigate the health risk to players, coaches and other essential personnel,” said Sills. “We are developing a comprehensive and rapid result testing program and rigorous protocols that call for a shared responsibility from everyone inside our football ecosystem. This is based on the collective guidance of public health officials, including the White House task force, the CDC, infectious disease experts, and other sports leagues.”
“Make no mistake, this is no easy task. We will make adjustments as necessary to meet the public health environment as we prepare to play the 2020 season as scheduled with increased protocols and safety measures for all players, personnel and attendees,” said Sills, who remarked that the league would be “flexible and adaptable in this environment to adjust to the virus as needed.”

Co-owner Steve Smith dropped the epic line about the local government to the Tennessean earlier in the week:
The Nashville government is, like, communist. They’ve got us behind a Berlin Wall. We met with Mayor Cooper and the doctors weeks ago and explained how having bar service is safer than table service. They’re doing everything they can to put us out of business. The state of Tennessee is already in Phase 4 and they’re talking about holding us in Phase 2. It’s against our constitutional rights.
Game, set, match. You never come back from being accused of being a communist. That’s a kill shot to the soul.

bonginoreport--2020-06-20--Horowitz: Rioters Steal Police Guns & Destroy George Washington Statue –  Can We First Stop the Mob

Horowitz: Rioters Steal Police Guns & Destroy George Washington Statue –  Can We First Stop the Mob and Then Worry About Police?

Horowitz : Rioters steal police guns & destroy George Washington statue .
Can we first stop the mob and then worry about police ?
Now that our government has lost control over our cities , rioters are taking possession of police precincts and vehicles and now obtaining police-issued firearms .
Is this America or Baghdad ?
Meanwhile , rather than pushing a united front on law and order , Republicans are tripping over themselves to pander to the mob and even try to out-Left Joe Biden on crime .
Where does that leave the silent majority of Americans who want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worst nights of rioting earlier this month , 45 handguns were stolen from one Georgia gun shop .
Even worse , rioters are now stealing firearms out of police vehicles .
When the politicians send the message to the rioters that they don ’ t have the backs of the officers , the police back off , use too little force , and allow the anarchists to burn their vehicles .
Well , there are often valuable and potentially dangerous tools in those vehicles .
Nearly three weeks after that night of rioting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two semiautomatic rifles stolen from burned-out cop cars belonging to Georgia Tech police .
In addition , there have been dozens of car break-ins and guns have been stolen out of citizen cars .
Why is there no outrage from Republicans and no push for action to stiffen penalties for gun felonies during riots ?
They are sitting idly while the corrupt Fulton County prosecutor railroads two cops who acted in self-defense and have now caused police to cede the city streets to the anarchist mob .
This is a problem spreading across @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from a shop in Albuquerque .
At least 40 firearms stolen from a Fayetteville , North Carolina , gun shop , at least 50 guns from a shop in Vacaville , California , and 34 from one in St. Louis .
Has Congress suddenly gotten shy about dealing with gun violence ?
Wouldn ’ t now be the best time to deter gun felons with stiffer sentencing ?
The very same people who push gun control are the ones seeking to avoid locking up gun felons at all costs .
What if Republicans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , brought a bill to the Senate floor to increase mandatory sentencing on gun felons for those engaging in a violent crime with guns or those caught possessing guns after being convicted of aggravated felonies ?
What else would a sane Republican Party do ?
They ’ d allow good guys who don ’ t have a criminal record to carry everywhere .
While we seek to deter bad guys with guns , why not allow peaceful citizens who undergo a background check and licensing to be able to carry in all 50 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s licenses ?
This is especially needed now that roads , including interstate highway , are being blocked by mobs with unsuspecting motorists facing harrowing dangers of public lynching .
Don ’ t tell me this is not a winning political issue .
Gun sales are through the roof .
Gun sales increased by 80 percent this May as compared to May 2019 , after increasing 71 percent in April over last year .
June will likely set another record .
People vote with their wallets , and these sales are greater proof @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where people stand on safety and security .
Why don ’ t we even hear Republicans talking about safety and security ?
If Republicans won ’ t fight for tougher policing and sentencing , at least fight to allow private citizens to better protect themselves from the anarchy they are allowing to fester .
Instead , GOP senators like Sen. John Cornyn are pushing cheesy pandering bills to codify Juneteenth Day as a federal holiday and promoting DACA amnesty for illegal aliens .
Our cities are burning , statues of George Washington and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and Republicans do nothing but pander to the mob with weak “ me too ” political gestures .
Who do they think they are appealing to ?
Not the black business owners who had their stores destroyed .
What about black victims of crime ?
Well , the official GOP Twitter account is now attacking Joe Biden from the left on crime , attacking Biden for supporting the 1994 crime bill and the Reagan anti-drug bills !
What ’ s next ?
Will they trash Biden for voting for Reagan ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bills that led to the most successful drop in homicide and violent crime in American history , and black victims were the biggest beneficiaries .
These laws need to be strengthened , not weakened , as the federal courts , including GOP-appointed judges , continue to slash away .
Republicans are now measurably to the left of Barack Obama ’ s 2008 and even 2012 campaign on numerous issues – from transgenderism and immigration to crime and policing .
They ’ ve even given up on fighting for the Second Amendment , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s gun control agenda to go after gun felons .
As Americans face the worst anarchy of our lifetimes , growing crime , drugs , and an unraveling of the culture , most voters care about their neighborhoods more than any other geopolitical issue .
They want safe and secure neighborhoods .
They want a return to normalcy .
Republicans could crush Democrats on the issue of rioting and crime , even with Trump struggling with his image on some other issues .
Instead , they have chosen to drag-race Democrats to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ premise of the BLM agenda .

Now that our government has lost control over our cities, rioters are taking possession of police precincts and vehicles and now obtaining police-issued firearms. Is this America or Baghdad? Meanwhile, rather than pushing a united front on law and order, Republicans are tripping over themselves to pander to the mob and even try to out-Left Joe Biden on crime. Where does that leave the silent majority of Americans who want ordered liberty?
During one of the worst nights of rioting earlier this month, 45 handguns were stolen from one Georgia gun shop. Even worse, rioters are now stealing firearms out of police vehicles. When the politicians send the message to the rioters that they don’t have the backs of the officers, the police back off, use too little force, and allow the anarchists to burn their vehicles. Well, there are often valuable and potentially dangerous tools in those vehicles. Nearly three weeks after that night of rioting, Georgia authorities are still looking for two semiautomatic rifles stolen from burned-out cop cars belonging to Georgia Tech police. In addition, there have been dozens of car break-ins and guns have been stolen out of citizen cars.
Why is there no outrage from Republicans and no push for action to stiffen penalties for gun felonies during riots? They are sitting idly while the corrupt Fulton County prosecutor railroads two cops who acted in self-defense and have now caused police to cede the city streets to the anarchist mob.
This is a problem spreading across the country. 150 guns were stolen from a shop in Albuquerque. At least 40 firearms stolen from a Fayetteville, North Carolina, gun shop, at least 50 guns from a shop in Vacaville, California, and 34 from one in St. Louis.
Has Congress suddenly gotten shy about dealing with gun violence? Wouldn’t now be the best time to deter gun felons with stiffer sentencing? The very same people who push gun control are the ones seeking to avoid locking up gun felons at all costs. What if Republicans, instead of their pandering policing bill, brought a bill to the Senate floor to increase mandatory sentencing on gun felons for those engaging in a violent crime with guns or those caught possessing guns after being convicted of aggravated felonies?
What else would a sane Republican Party do? They’d allow good guys who don’t have a criminal record to carry everywhere. While we seek to deter bad guys with guns, why not allow peaceful citizens who undergo a background check and licensing to be able to carry in all 50 states, just as with driver’s licenses? This is especially needed now that roads, including interstate highway, are being blocked by mobs with unsuspecting motorists facing harrowing dangers of public lynching.
Don’t tell me this is not a winning political issue. Gun sales are through the roof. Gun sales increased by 80 percent this May as compared to May 2019, after increasing 71 percent in April over last year. June will likely set another record. People vote with their wallets, and these sales are greater proof than any public opinion poll as to where people stand on safety and security. Why don’t we even hear Republicans talking about safety and security? If Republicans won’t fight for tougher policing and sentencing, at least fight to allow private citizens to better protect themselves from the anarchy they are allowing to fester.
Instead, GOP senators like Sen. John Cornyn are pushing cheesy pandering bills to codify Juneteenth Day as a federal holiday and promoting DACA amnesty for illegal aliens. Our cities are burning, statues of George Washington and symbols of our civilization are being destroyed, and Republicans do nothing but pander to the mob with weak “me too” political gestures. Who do they think they are appealing to? Not the black business owners who had their stores destroyed.
What about black victims of crime? Well, the official GOP Twitter account is now attacking Joe Biden from the left on crime, attacking Biden for supporting the 1994 crime bill and the Reagan anti-drug bills!
What’s next? Will they trash Biden for voting for Reagan’s Armed Career Criminal Act?
These are the bills that led to the most successful drop in homicide and violent crime in American history, and black victims were the biggest beneficiaries. These laws need to be strengthened, not weakened, as the federal courts, including GOP-appointed judges, continue to slash away.
Republicans are now measurably to the left of Barack Obama’s 2008 and even 2012 campaign on numerous issues – from transgenderism and immigration to crime and policing. They’ve even given up on fighting for the Second Amendment, while they refuse to use the Left’s gun control agenda to go after gun felons.
As Americans face the worst anarchy of our lifetimes, growing crime, drugs, and an unraveling of the culture, most voters care about their neighborhoods more than any other geopolitical issue. They want safe and secure neighborhoods. They want a return to normalcy. Republicans could crush Democrats on the issue of rioting and crime, even with Trump struggling with his image on some other issues. Instead, they have chosen to drag-race Democrats to the gates of anarchy in promoting every premise of the BLM agenda.


bonginoreport--2020-06-20--Gabriella Hoffman: The Ship Hasn’t Sailed on the American Boating Experience

The charming town of St. Michael’s on Maryland’s Eastern Shore served as the backdrop. Deemed “the town that fooled the British,” this hidden gem was a one-time hub of shipbuilding, maritime activity, and commerce. Today, it attracts DC-area locals and tourists alike.
Yamaha generously put us up at the Inn at Perry Cabins, one of the most sought-after getaway locations here in the Mid-Atlantic.

Over the course of two days, attendees learned about boating basics, outboards, and the newest industry trends.
Learning Boating Basics
Yamaha Outboards specializes in durable, reliable motors for all boating conditions.
After arriving in St. Michael’s, Maryland, we gathered in a conference room to hear from their corporate partners. They gave us a rundown of products we would be testing. I found this session to be helpful since my boating knowledge is elementary at best.
We learned about the transformation of the American boating experience first and how it’s evolved over the years. The average cost of a boat, one presenter noted, went from over $50,000 to well over $300,000 in total cost during the 2007-2017 period. Historically, value/entry boats were in high demand by consumers, but a noticeable shift led boat enthusiasts to seek out mid-market and premium watercraft.
The presenters talked at length about their F300 motor, which sets the standard on offshore power. It’s the second best selling motor on the market. They also discussed their XTO Offshore motor, one of the most powerful and popular models on the market—with newer models boasting a direct injection and integrated electric steering system.
Attendees also heard from Matthew Smith, Communications Manager at Yamaha Marine, on the latest policy initiatives being advocated in their new sustainability campaign, Yamaha Rightwaters. It’s aimed at improving habitat, controlling invasive species, supporting sound scientific research, and promoting clean water initiatives.
Media members also learned about the ancient practice of celestial navigation at sea from Hans “Jochen” Hoffmann of the Maryland School of Sailing and Seamanship. While electronic navigational tools have greatly enhanced the boating and sailing experience, these tools are greatly susceptible to interference. That’s where knowledge of celestial navigation can come in handy, the presenter noted.
The informational session concluded with a Garmin representative discussing the latest product offerings and how our group would test them firsthand on the water. He discussed how their Global Positioning Systems (GPS) uses trilateration to pinpoint exact location coordinates when in use.
Testing Outboards
The next morning, our group tested various outboard motors retrofitted for boats like the Grady-White Canyon 326 Center Console, the Pursuit S40, the Sportsman Masters 267 OE, and the World Cat 320.
After testing watercraft, we were Miles River-bound to catch some Chesapeake Bay striped bass.
All media members were paired with local captains. My group, consisting of Outdoor Sportsman Group’s Emily Kantner and another blogger from Ohio, fished with Captain Nick Clemente of the Ocean City, Maryland-based Get Sum Charters.
Captain Clemente doesn’t regularly guide out that way and told us, in jest, our party was obligated to catch fish and best the rival captains. Challenge accepted.
Initially, fishing conditions were less than satisfactory. We had all the right equipment and tackle to reel in some fish but they failed to cooperate. The weather wasn’t budging either.
After a location switch, the bite miraculously picked up. One striper was caught. Then another. Eventually, my turn came to reel in and release a juvenile striped bass. Score!
After the trip, our fellow writers revealed to us they got skunked. But they shrugged it off and laughed.
The Future of Boating
The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) notes the marine economy, including boating, accounted for $373 billion of the U.S. economy’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2018.
While boating is enjoying some growth, the industry admits it’s difficult to entice Millennials. Despite enjoying boating like their parents, Millennials aren’t as inclined to make boat purchases. That should cause alarm as the age group, my generation, is expected to soon comprise a quarter of the U.S. population.
As a result, boating could be at risk of sailing into the sunset one day. That would be a travesty.

bonginoreport--2020-06-20--Derek Hunter: New Levels of Crazy

Derek Hunter: New Levels of Crazy

A friend who works for a conservative website shared an email with me that was sent to the staff , “ We have to be careful ” about how they write about Black Lives Matter , it said .
Not because what they were reporting was inaccurate , but because it could upset the mob , and upsetting the mob nowadays is worse than being inaccurate .
“ Truth ” can be whatever you want it to be , the mob , on the other hand , can seemingly make reality anything they want it to be by force of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not even Black Lives Matter , really , at least not the rank and file protestors taking to the streets in righteous indignation over what happened to George Floyd .
It ’ s the Marxist leadership that coupled with , or refused to de-couple with , ANTIFA and other Black Bloc groups hell-bent on destruction of property and society .
There ’ s a lot of money in this racket and it ’ s all based on fear .
The “ woke ” companies funding these radicals are doing so for a few @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want to appear to be down with the struggle .
The target demographic of Nike , for example , isn ’ t a married 40 year old professional with a couple of kids , they ’ re the kids who can barely afford their products because , like the people in China making them for pennies per day , they ’ re just little kids .
How “ woke ” can a company be if it uses sweatshop labor ?
How interested in “ justice ” can a movement be if it embraces @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t really matter , both are making bank .
Turns out “ rage ” is all the rage these days , and being offended is a growth industry , even in a time of pandemic .
The problem with rage is you have to keep it going .
An emotional state is only useful during it , and they tend to quickly burn out - there have been lots of feuds in history , but very few Hatfields and McCoys .
In order to keep the rage fires burning , anything is being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of conservative websites ?
As the Federalist and Zerohedge found out this week , it ’ s game on .
Weird how a company like Google , which exists in its current configuration only through a blind eye being turned to its content control abuses by regulators and spineless or complicit legislators who immunize it from liability for content on their sites , is making other outlets responsible for the part of their websites over which they explicitly exert no control .
It screams of hypocrisy , mostly because it is , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impact by calling it out are literally on the same team – this case being NBC News – so who ’ d do it who would matter ?
No one .
You can act 10 feet tall and bullet proof when the guards against abuse are helping you abuse .
But it ’ s not just conservative websites and Tucker Carlson , who is destroying everyone else in the ratings but is facing a boycott by these fascists because of his refusal to conform and stop speaking the truth , it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be used to keep the rage burning , no matter how absurd .
Aunt Jemima ?
She ’ s got to go .
A hundred years ago she was a racist stereotype , today she ’ s a smiling black woman .
You don ’ t see many faces in the grocery aisle , of any color , but the people who are changing what constitutes a movie worthy of being considered one of the year ’ s best based upon “ representation ” or “ inclusion ” are demanding Aunt Jemima @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before anyone demanding the change was alive to be offended by them .
It ’ s not limited to the United States , crazy can not be contained .
Everywhere there are leftists , this insanity has spread .
Statues of Winston Churchill are under threat , a brewing company in Australia is having their products pulled from shelves because its name is “ Colonial Brewing.
” When will they go after Sam Adams ?
Laugh , but if they ’ re going after an Abraham Lincoln statues in Boston because 8,300 signed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t be long .
The only way any of this works is through the exploitation of the fact that we ’ re out of real problems .
Something about the brains of liberals will not let them accept that we have it better than anyone who has lived before us .
I wrote about this in my book – we don ’ t get up every morning struggling to forage for enough food to keep our family alive that day , only to do it again the next .

A friend who works for a conservative website shared an email with me that was sent to the staff, “We have to be careful” about how they write about Black Lives Matter, it said. Not because what they were reporting was inaccurate, but because it could upset the mob, and upsetting the mob nowadays is worse than being inaccurate. “Truth” can be whatever you want it to be, the mob, on the other hand, can seemingly make reality anything they want it to be by force of will or worse.
It’s not even Black Lives Matter, really, at least not the rank and file protestors taking to the streets in righteous indignation over what happened to George Floyd. It’s the Marxist leadership that coupled with, or refused to de-couple with, ANTIFA and other Black Bloc groups hell-bent on destruction of property and society. There’s a lot of money in this racket and it’s all based on fear.
The “woke” companies funding these radicals are doing so for a few different reasons. The first is they want to appear to be down with the struggle. The target demographic of Nike, for example, isn’t a married 40 year old professional with a couple of kids, they’re the kids who can barely afford their products because, like the people in China making them for pennies per day, they’re just little kids.
How “woke” can a company be if it uses sweatshop labor? How interested in “justice” can a movement be if it embraces a company doing that?
Doesn’t really matter, both are making bank. Turns out “rage” is all the rage these days, and being offended is a growth industry, even in a time of pandemic.
The problem with rage is you have to keep it going. An emotional state is only useful during it, and they tend to quickly burn out - there have been lots of feuds in history, but very few Hatfields and McCoys.
In order to keep the rage fires burning, anything is being used for fuel. The comments section of conservative websites? As the Federalist and Zerohedge found out this week, it’s game on. Weird how a company like Google, which exists in its current configuration only through a blind eye being turned to its content control abuses by regulators and spineless or complicit legislators who immunize it from liability for content on their sites, is making other outlets responsible for the part of their websites over which they explicitly exert no control. It screams of hypocrisy, mostly because it is, but the people who’d have any impact by calling it out are literally on the same team – this case being NBC News – so who’d do it who would matter? No one.
You can act 10 feet tall and bullet proof when the guards against abuse are helping you abuse.
But it’s not just conservative websites and Tucker Carlson, who is destroying everyone else in the ratings but is facing a boycott by these fascists because of his refusal to conform and stop speaking the truth, it’s everything. Anything that can be combustible will be used to keep the rage burning, no matter how absurd.
Aunt Jemima? She’s got to go. A hundred years ago she was a racist stereotype, today she’s a smiling black woman. You don’t see many faces in the grocery aisle, of any color, but the people who are changing what constitutes a movie worthy of being considered one of the year’s best based upon “representation” or “inclusion” are demanding Aunt Jemima be wiped from history for sins committed before anyone demanding the change was alive to be offended by them.
It’s not limited to the United States, crazy cannot be contained. Everywhere there are leftists, this insanity has spread. Statues of Winston Churchill are under threat, a brewing company in Australia is having their products pulled from shelves because its name is “Colonial Brewing.” When will they go after Sam Adams? Laugh, but if they’re going after an Abraham Lincoln statues in Boston because 8,300 signed an online petition, it won’t be long.
The only way any of this works is through the exploitation of the fact that we’re out of real problems. Something about the brains of liberals will not let them accept that we have it better than anyone who has lived before us. I wrote about this in my book – we don’t get up every morning struggling to forage for enough food to keep our family alive that day, only to do it again the next. We don’t have to worry about a cut on our hands that could get infected and kill us; or some random stranger coming along and stealing everything we have or drafting us to fight in their army against someone we’ve never heard of. Even our homeless need charging stations for their iPhones; obesity is a problem among the poor.
We have the freedom to create things to be outraged over, and leftists seem to have the need. That need is being exploited to make some people very rich and powerful.
This movement, like so many others, isn’t about justice, it’s about control. And it’s about money. Every old tweet, blog post, Facebook status, or even rumor of something “unacceptable” said in the past is now potential kindling to keep that rage going and that cash flowing.
There are so many things to call this mentality: cancel culture, fascism, you name it. But one thing it is not is sane.

On September 14, 1814, Francis Scott Key composed the lyrics to “The Star-Spangled Banner” after witnessing the massive overnight British bombardment of Fort McHenry in Maryland during the War of 1812. Key, an American lawyer, watched the siege while under detainment on a British ship and penned the famous words after observing with awe that Fort McHenry’s flag survived the 1,800-bomb assault. After circulating as a handbill, the patriotic lyrics were published in a Baltimore newspaper on September 20, 1814. Key’s words were later set to the tune of “To Anacreon in Heaven,” a popular English song. Throughout the 19th century, “The Star-Spangled Banner” was regarded as the national anthem by most branches of the U.S. armed forces and other groups, but it was not until 1916, and the signing of an executive order by President Woodrow Wilson, that it was formally designated as such. In March 1931, Congress passed an act confirming Wilson’s presidential order, and on March 3 President Hoover signed it into law.

Oxford University to Allow Students to Apply for Special Consideration in Exams If They Are “Affected” by George Floyd Death

Oxford University allows students 'affected ' by George Floyd death to apply for special consideration in exams Officials at the @ @ @ @ @ under pressure to act in recent weeks

Facing pressure to act in recent weeks, prestigious British college Oxford University said students "affected" by George Floyd's death in the United States can apply for special consideration in their exams, the Evening Standard reported.
What are the details?
Vice chancellor and professor Louise Richardson told students about the decision in an open letter signed by the heads of Oxford's colleges, the paper said.
Richardson thanked students for informing her about "the traumatic effect of the brutality which killed George Floyd" — which sparked protests and rioting and statue vandalism in the United States — and added that the incident was "a manifestation of institutionalized racism," the Evening Standard added.
"Any student taking university assessments who feels their performance has been affected should submit a self-assessment mitigating circumstances form after their final examination or assessment," she wrote, the paper said.
In addition, the Evening Standard noted that Oxford's "heads of house" will alert tutors and welfare staff about the potential need for a workload cut and "urge colleagues to reach out" to those who apply for special consideration in exams.
Anything else?
Richardson also told the Oxford students' union that "many departments in social sciences have begun work on making their curriculum more inclusive and adding diverse voices to it" such as "integrating race and gender questions into topics" and "embedding teaching on colonialism and empire into courses," the paper said.
It's not an unfamiliar pattern for Oxford:

bonginoreport--2020-06-20--Honeywell Claims to Have Built the World’s Most Powerful Quantum Computer

In the race to the future of quantum computing , Honeywell has just secured a fresh lead .
The North Carolina-based conglomerate announced Thursday that it has produced the world ’ s fastest quantum computer , at least twice as powerful as the existing computers operated by IBM and Google .
The machine , located in a 1,500-square-foot high-security storage facility in Boulder , Colorado , consists of a stainless steel chamber about the size of basketball that is cooled by liquid helium at a temperature just above absolute zero , the point at which atoms stop vibrating .
Within @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a computer chip are targeted with lasers to perform calculations .
While people have studied the potential of quantum computing for decades , that is , building machines with the ability to complete calculations beyond the limits of classic computers and supercomputers , the sector has until recently been limited to the intrigue of research groups at tech companies such as IBM and Google .
But in the past year , the race between those companies to claim supremacy — and provide a commercial use — in the quantum race has become heated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Quantum Volume of 64 , a metric devised by IBM that measures the capability of the machine and error rates , but is also difficult to decipher ( and as quantum computing expert Scott Aaronson wrote in March , is potentially possible to game ) .
By comparison , IBM announced in January that it had achieved a Quantum Volume of 32 with its newest machine , Raleigh .
Google has also spent significant resources on developing its quantum capabilities and In October said it had developed a machine that completed a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 10,000 years to process in just 200 seconds .
( IBM disputed Google ’ s claim , saying the calculation would have taken only 2.5 days to complete . )
Honeywell has been working toward this goal for the past decade when it began developing the technology to produce cryogenics and laser tools .
In the past five years , the company assembled a team of more than 100 technologists entirely dedicated to building the machine , and in March , Honeywell announced it would be within three months — a goal it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Covid-19 turned its workforce upside down and forced some employees to work remotely .
“ We had to completely redesign how we work in the facilities , had to limit who was coming on the site , and put in place physical barriers , ” says Tony Uttley , president of Honeywell Quantum Solutions .
“ All of that happened at the same time we were planning on being on this race.
” The advancement also means that Honeywell is opening its computer to companies looking to execute their own unimaginably large calculations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ $ 10,000 an hour , says Uttley .
While it won ’ t disclose how many customers it has , Honeywell did say that it has a contract with JPMorgan Chase , which has its own quantum experts who will use its machine to execute gargantuan tasks , such as building fraud detection models .
For those companies without in-house quantum experts , queries can be made through intermediary quantum firms , Zapata Computing and Cambridge Quantum Computing .
With greater access to the technology , Uttley says , quantum computers are nearing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an item of fascination to being used to solve problems like climate change and pharmaceutical development .
Going forward , Uttley says Honeywell plans to increase the Quantum Volume of its machine by a factor of 10 every year for the next five years , reaching a figure of 640,000 — a capability far beyond that imagined ever before .

Honeywell says its new quantum computer is twice as fast than any other machine. Supplied
In the race to the future of quantum computing, Honeywell has just secured a fresh lead.
The North Carolina-based conglomerate announced Thursday that it has produced the world’s fastest quantum computer, at least twice as powerful as the existing computers operated by IBM and Google.
The machine, located in a 1,500-square-foot high-security storage facility in Boulder, Colorado, consists of a stainless steel chamber about the size of basketball that is cooled by liquid helium at a temperature just above absolute zero, the point at which atoms stop vibrating. Within that chamber, individual atoms floating above a computer chip are targeted with lasers to perform calculations.
While people have studied the potential of quantum computing for decades, that is, building machines with the ability to complete calculations beyond the limits of classic computers and supercomputers, the sector has until recently been limited to the intrigue of research groups at tech companies such as IBM and Google.
But in the past year, the race between those companies to claim supremacy — and provide a commercial use — in the quantum race has become heated. Honeywell’s machine has achieved a Quantum Volume of 64, a metric devised by IBM that measures the capability of the machine and error rates, but is also difficult to decipher (and as quantum computing expert Scott Aaronson wrote in March, is potentially possible to game).

In the past five years, the company assembled a team of more than 100 technologists entirely dedicated to building the machine, and in March, Honeywell announced it would be within three months — a goal it was able to meet even as the Covid-19 turned its workforce upside down and forced some employees to work remotely. “We had to completely redesign how we work in the facilities, had to limit who was coming on the site, and put in place physical barriers,” says Tony Uttley, president of Honeywell Quantum Solutions. “All of that happened at the same time we were planning on being on this race.”
The advancement also means that Honeywell is opening its computer to companies looking to execute their own unimaginably large calculations — a service that can cost about $10,000 an hour, says Uttley. While it won’t disclose how many customers it has, Honeywell did say that it has a contract with JPMorgan Chase, which has its own quantum experts who will use its machine to execute gargantuan tasks, such as building fraud detection models. For those companies without in-house quantum experts, queries can be made through intermediary quantum firms, Zapata Computing and Cambridge Quantum Computing.
With greater access to the technology, Uttley says, quantum computers are nearing the point where they have graduated from an item of fascination to being used to solve problems like climate change and pharmaceutical development. Going forward, Uttley says Honeywell plans to increase the Quantum Volume of its machine by a factor of 10 every year for the next five years, reaching a figure of 640,000 — a capability far beyond that imagined ever before.

Contradicting His Book, Bolton Formally Lauded Trump For “Reversing” Previous Presidents “Surrendering” To China

While former National Security Adviser John Bolton is determined to cast President Trump as soft on China – leaking portions of his forthcoming memoir alleging his boss sought assistance from China in the 2020 election – Bolton insisted that President Trump had “ reversed ” previous administrations ’ “ surrender ” to China at a 2019 Wall Street Journal Chief Financial Officer Conference .
The infamous war hawk and controversial Trump appointee discussed U.S. cybersecurity initiatives with Wall Street Journal Associate Editor John Bussey at the conference .
Given China ’ s frequent hacks directed at U.S. corporates and theft @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the country .
Bussey inquired of Bolton , at the time a member of the Trump administration : “ So Xi Jinping ultimately does what ?
How does this play out ?
What does Xi Jinping do to satisfy U.S. demands ?
” Bolton responded , noting that President Trump ’ s approach represents a stark shift from past presidents ’ continual failure to engage the Chinese Communist Party ’ s ( CCP ) on their exploitation of bodies such as the World Trade Organization and lauds him for rejecting the prevailing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of U.S. debt limits U.S. grounds for recourse .
Bolton emphasizes that President Trump “ reversed ” this job-costing and national security-threatening China approach that he likens to “ a path to surrender ” : I think they ’ re still absorbing the fact that we ’ re not accepting that they get to play by different rules .
You can not say that we ’ re living in a free-trade world when one of the major economic powers is pursuing unabashedly mercantilist policies inside the structure of what should be a free @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say that somehow , Donald Trump is violating principles of free trade when he is trying to deal with an economic power that couldn ’ t care less about free trade .
Now , will the Chinese change that ?
I don ’ t know , but are we going to live with it forever ?
Is the argument , well my goodness , you can ’ t do this , you can ’ t do that because China holds all this U.S. debt ?
That sort of formulation which we ’ ve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surrender .
I just think that ’ s been a mistake , and I think President Trump has reversed that .
So , as you play that out , it ’ s really now for the Chinese to say , jeez they found out about us , and now , what are we gon na do ?
Commenting on the CCP ’ s response , Bussey adds : “ Or the Chinese do what they ’ ve done which is play rope-a-dope , wait it out , another election , another president , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Trump will win in 2020 , Biden dismisses the notion that the administration would soften their approach : The excerpts of Bolton ’ s book appear to renege on this explicit endorsement of President Trump ’ s China approach .
He alleged a disparity between the Trump administration ’ s China rhetoric and policy outputs , insisting the approach “ is not grounded in philosophy , grand strategy or policy .
It is grounded in Trump.
” Bolton ’ s lucrative million-dollar book deal currently involved an extensive PR campaign certainly presents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and perhaps calculated – light .

The infamous war hawk and controversial Trump appointee discussed U.S. cybersecurity initiatives with Wall Street Journal Associate Editor John Bussey at the conference. Given China’s frequent hacks directed at U.S. corporates and theft of intellectual property, the conversation centered on the country.
Bussey inquired of Bolton, at the time a member of the Trump administration: “So Xi Jinping ultimately does what? How does this play out? What does Xi Jinping do to satisfy U.S. demands?”
Bolton responded, noting that President Trump’s approach represents a stark shift from past presidents’ continual failure to engage the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) on their exploitation of bodies such as the World Trade Organization and lauds him for rejecting the prevailing Washington consensus that China’s ownership of U.S. debt limits U.S. grounds for recourse.
Bolton emphasizes that President Trump “reversed” this job-costing and national security-threatening China approach that he likens to “a path to surrender”:
I think they’re still absorbing the fact that we’re not accepting that they get to play by different rules.

I just think that’s been a mistake, and I think President Trump has reversed that. So, as you play that out, it’s really now for the Chinese to say, jeez they found out about us, and now, what are we gonna do?
Commenting on the CCP’s response, Bussey adds: “Or the Chinese do what they’ve done which is play rope-a-dope, wait it out, another election, another president, another round of negotiations.”
Insisting that President Trump will win in 2020, Biden dismisses the notion that the administration would soften their approach:
Good luck with that. [Laughs]. Let’s put it this way: if President Trump wins, which we’re certainly planning on, do they think they’re going to get better terms in the second term? I wouldn’t count on that.
The excerpts of Bolton’s book appear to renege on this explicit endorsement of President Trump’s China approach.
He alleged a disparity between the Trump administration’s China rhetoric and policy outputs, insisting the approach “is not grounded in philosophy, grand strategy or policy. It is grounded in Trump.” Bolton’s lucrative million-dollar book deal currently involved an extensive PR campaign certainly presents his dramatic pivot in an interesting – and perhaps calculated – light.

“The tech tyrants have broken their promise of a public square. Instead, they censor us to push their own agenda driven narrative,” Parler said.
