Meet the Codsprey: Navy signs $4 billion contract for new aircraft carrier transport
U.S. troops and supplies will soon have a new way to arrive on aircraft carriers after the Pentagon inked a new $4 billion aircraft contract.
The agreement with Boeing and Bell Helicopter announced Friday includes 39 of a new Navy variant of the V-22 Osprey aircraft, called the CMV-22B, that would land on the massive ship decks and would transport people and supplies.
The job is now handled by C-2A Greyhound turboprop aircraft that use the carrier's catapult and arresting gear to take off and land.

Kamala Harris Refused To Help Disabled Iraq War Vet After Illegal Immigrants Ruined His Life
Then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris didn’t take action against illegal immigrants who stole the identity of a disabled Iraq war veteran when he asked for her help, according to a 2013 letter.
James Di Napoli told The Daily Caller News Foundation that his father sold his social security information to illegal immigrants when he was 17, and his life has been in limbo ever since.
“The amount of trauma this has caused me has been overwhelming, it’s just destroyed my life,” Di Napoli said.

Netflix Host Michelle Wolf: Ivanka Trump 'Like Vaginal Mesh' — 'Blood All Over You'
Talk show host Michelle Wolf made a series of obscene remarks about women working in the White House, including comparing First Daughter Ivanka Trump to “herpes” and a “vaginal mesh.”
In the latest episode of her Netflix series, The Break With Michelle Wolf, the stand-up comic urged people not to gratuitously harass members of President Donald Trump’s family or administration but instead use words that are “life alteringly hurtful.”
“You can’t just casually harass these people; you have to insult them specifically,” Wolf said. “Cunt doesn’t hurt them — it’s on their vision board. You have to make sure your words are life-alteringly hurtful.”

John Oliver on Roe v. Wade following Justice Kennedy's retirement: 'There is no good news, everything is terrible now'
Late night political comedian John Oliver grimly announced his fear for abortion rights in the U.S. after Justice Anthony Kennedy's retirement from the Supreme Court bench on "Last Week Tonight," Mediaite reported.
“Now, this is obviously huge news,” Oliver said. “For anyone who believes that the Constitution protects things like reproductive and LGBT rights, this is bad. And we know it’s bad because Donald Trump Jr. was happy.”

Justin Trudeau responds to groping allegations: ‘I don’t remember any negative interactions’
Between snapping selfies with steelworkers for Canada Day on Sunday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came up against some uncomfortable questions.
At an event for steel and aluminum workers at Regina in southern Canada, a reporter asked Trudeau, 46, to address allegations that he had groped a young woman at a music festival in British Columbia 18 years ago.
The self-described feminist, who has said he has “no tolerance” for sexual harassment, said he did not recall the event.
“I remember that day in Creston well. It was an Avalanche Foundation event to support avalanche safety. I had a good day that day. I don’t remember any negative interactions that day at all,” he said, nodding and smiling to reporters.

CautionJuly 2, 2018Worldwide Caution
This latest update to the Department of State’s Worldwide Caution provides U.S. citizens with general information regarding terrorist activities, political violence, and criminal activity that transpire abroad, as well as specific recommendations on how to prepare for possible contingencies, receive information on breaking security events, and ensure that travelers can be contacted in an emergency. This version replaces the Worldwide Caution dated January 11, 2018.
As terrorist attacks, political violence (including demonstrations), criminal activities, and other security incidents often take place without any warning, U.S. citizens are strongly encouraged to maintain a high level of vigilance and practice good situational awareness when traveling abroad. When planning a trip and prior to departing the United States, American citizens should consult country-specific Travel Advisories and information pages on travel.state.gov.
Travelers are also urged to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive security messages and make it easier to locate you in an emergency. The Department uses these security messages to convey information about terrorist threats, security incidents, planned demonstrations, natural disasters, etc. In an emergency, please contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate or call the following numbers: 1-888-407-4747 (toll-free in the United States and Canada) or 1-202-501-4444 from other countries.
U.S. government facilities worldwide remain in a heightened state of alert. These facilities may temporarily close or periodically suspend public services to assess their security posture. In those instances, U.S. embassies and consulates will make every effort to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens. U.S. citizens abroad are urged to monitor the local news and maintain contact with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
Terrorist groups including ISIS, al-Qa'ida, their associates, and those inspired by such organizations, are intent on attacking U.S. citizens wherever they are. Extremists may use conventional or non-conventional weapons to target U.S. government and private interests. Terrorists are increasingly using less sophisticated methods, including the use of edged weapons, pistols, and vehicles as weapons, to effectively target crowds. Extremists increasingly aim to assault "soft" targets, such as:
high-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.)
hotels, clubs, and restaurants
places of worship
schools
parks
shopping malls and markets
tourism infrastructure
public transportation systems
airports
In multiple regions, terrorists, guerrilla groups, and criminals seek to kidnap U.S. citizens to finance their operations or for political purposes. The Department also remains concerned that terrorists could again seek to down aircraft using concealed explosives or hijack commercial flights.
Private U.S. citizens should not travel to any country to participate in armed conflict. U.S. citizens are reminded that fighting on behalf of, or providing other forms of support to, designated terrorist organizations can constitute the provision of material support for terrorism, which is a serious crime that can result in penalties, including prison time and large fines.
For further information:
See the Department of State's travel website for the Worldwide Caution, Travel Advisories, and country information.

The Department of State's Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) provides several resources to enhance the safety and security of the U.S. private sector abroad. Additional information on OSAC can be found on OSAC.gov or by following OSAC on Twitter.
Mariners and U.S. citizens considering maritime travel should also review information at the websites of the National Geospatial Agency, the Maritime Security Communications with Industry Portal, and the U.S. Coast Guard for information related to maritime and port security globally.
