US Commerce Department Puts Off TikTok Store Ban Until September 27

Earlier on Saturday, Trump said he had approved the purchase of TikTok, a video-sharing app owned by Chinese company ByteDance, to US software company Oracle, with the possible participation of Walmart.

The US Commerce Department says it is postponing the planned block of new TikTok downloads until September 27, in light of US President Donald Trump’s new announcement.

"In light of recent positive developments, Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, at the direction of President Trump, will delay the prohibition of identified transactions pursuant to Executive Order 13942, related to the TikTok mobile application that would have been effective on Sunday, September 20, 2020, until September 27, 2020 at 11:59 p.m.," the Commerce Department said on Saturday.

The statement comes after Trump said that Walmart could also take part in the deal that will see the creation of a new company, based in Texas, that will assume TikTok's US operations.

"I have given the deal my blessing," Trump told reporters on Saturday, adding "it will have nothing to do with China, it'll be totally secure, that's part of the deal."

"I approved the deal in concept," Trump told reporters, saying that conceptually, "it’s a great deal for America."

The US president also said that the deal would include a $5 billion donation to an education program.

On Friday, the US Commerce Department said that Trump’s executive order was going to block US users from downloading TikTok starting from September 20 and was going to ban the use of the app in the US from November 12.

Bloodbath Britain: 'Pent up rage' from lockdown sees violent crime soar to its highest level in a DECADE with surge in gang wars, domestic abuse and hate crime

Two-thirds of police forces have seen a ten year high of violent crime in 2020

'Pent up rage' has been blamed for a surge in violence after lockdown eased

Gloucestershire saw violent crime rise by 39 per cent in July compared to 2019

Violent crime has soared to its highest level in a decade after a surge in drug feuds, domestic abuse and hate crime, statistics show.

Drug rivalries became increasingly violent in the first phase of the coronavirus pandemic in order to retain their turf.

Violence outside of venues also soared as lockdown restrictions loosened due to 'pent up rage', according to police.

It comes after it was revealed violent crime had returned to pre-Covid levels last month, amid fears that numbers could rise even further as lockdown measures are lifted.

THIRD of UK Covid victims in July and August 'died from OTHER causes' - including cancer or being hit by a car - Oxford University scientists reveal

Covid victims recorded by the ONS may have actually died from other diseases

One in 13 deaths may not have been primarily from Covid-19, study suggests

Scientists say it is too difficult to determine if virus was the main cause of death

A third of the people recorded to have died from Covid-19 in July and August may have actually passed away due to other causes, such as cancer or being hit by a car, Oxford University research has suggested

Experts at Oxford University have found that around 30 per cent of those included in the Office for National Statistics' (ONS) coronavirus deaths toll over the summer actually died primarily from other conditions.

The data comes as the Government introduces its new Rule of Six measures to combat the further spread of the disease.

‘You Killed RBG’: Leftists Attack Couple Who Had Supreme Court Justice Officiate Their August Wedding

A woman who had Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg officiate her wedding just weeks ago has been forced to make her Twitter account private after leftist trolls accused her of “killing” the late judicial powerhouse.

Barb Solish, of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, was reportedly a family friend of Ginsburg, who, despite suffering from late-stage pancreatic cancer, presided over her wedding to Danny Kazin, an associate with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Ginsburg was pictured without a mask on, People Magazine reports, in photos that the bride posted to Twitter in early September, but an official account of the wedding notes that both Solish and her then-fiance Kazin, had been tested for COVID-19 before the ceremony and both had tested “negative,” making it safe for the ailing Justice to attend their nuptials.

Those assurances weren’t enough for the Twitter crowd who, incensed by the Justice’s death just weeks before the 2020 presidential election, lashed out at Solish on Twitter, accusing her of “killing” Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

“TFW you killed RBG to show off at your wedding…,” one Twitter user claimed, tagging Solish.

“[I]magine everyone knowing you killed RBG at your wedding,” raged another.

“i think it’s funny that the lady who had rbg officiate her wedding without a mask has to now deal with potentially having killed one of the most beloved people in the entire US because she just had to have her wedding officiated by rgb so she could do an epic tweet lol,” blasted another.

Others pointed out Solish’s Twitter post with official photos of her wedding ceremony: “this post will rightfully be dunked on all night, and in perpetuity,” they claimed.

Some pledged to take Solish and Kazin to account for their misdeeds.
