Now Donald Trumps pick for the u. S. Supreme court has been sworn in any county barrett took the oath of office and a late night ceremony at the white house shortly after the Senate Confirmed her nomination her appointment gives that top court a law and conservative majority helen fisher house. 30 days after her nomination him equally valid became the one justice on the u. S. Supreme court they held an event at the white house. Well. The initial 70 was a super spreader event for covered 1000. 00 with many attendees including the president contract in the virus that didnt deter President Donald Trump who wanted a political victory so close to the election this is a momentous day for america for the United States constitution and for the fair and impartial rule of law the speed of the process is upset democrats the see the choice of a new justice should have been left to the next president who may win this vote but in the process he will speed the precipitous decline of face in our institution our politics the senate and the Supreme Court you will give an already divided an angry nation a fresh outrage the democrats tried to bring public pressure to stop the vote the argued there were more important things they argued that the republicans wouldnt even consider a democratic nomination for the Supreme Court in an Election Year 4 years ago but the reality is the democrats never had any real power to stop this nomination going through at elections have consequences and what this administration and those republicans.

Mccomb county in suburban detroit is auto country its also home to the reagan democrats who switched parties in 1980 to vote for Ronald Reagan and after voting twice for barack obama it switched again in 2016 devoted republican donald trump. Mccomb county which sits between 2 great lakes lake huron in lake erie is scenic patriotic middle class and overwhelmingly white in the last election trump resonated here and 2016 pledged he would not cut Medicare Medicaid or Social Security very different from other republican candidates and i think that combined with a lot of his appeals to white identity politics really i think really appealed to a lot of people in mccomb county. Trump inspires tributes on land and water and a rare devotion among supporters to the greatest president weve ever had in my lifetime he has made so many promises and hes kept more promises that hes made which has never happened ever as i believe in his policies hes gotten the job done so far hes prolife hes everything i believe in. The 2020 election will test whether hes still popular here despite the coronavirus and an economic collapse has democrat joe bidens Campaign Workers canvassed the county early so i am proud of our family for more he leads trump handily in recent polls whats changed is this mask the epidemic here and has been very difficult we have lost over a 1000 people to call with the president doesnt have a plan doesnt pretend to have one he wants more people to die joe biden will have a plan that will fix this code so that we can try and get back to normal wife.

Its just putting the live on after. He has also. Got children that we usually talk about the 1000. 00 gold fund that kind of sat at the 9 months of pregnancy and all of that. That particular age creates. d damage to the brain and to the cognitive. Wrong so its absolutely terrible it not only puts a lot of children at risk of dying but also really. Tremendous.

I come here every day to pray for them they became artist for us there in the army to protect us there are villages we know them weve seen them and they died for us to stop the armenian occupation. This war has cost as eerie lies but it also has seen the army take back territory from armenian control at least 65 civilians have been killed so far on this side of the conflict the number of soldiers who lost their lives on the battlefield is unknown but with each day that passes the number increases and with the anger among people here but there also proud of their army drones have given the edge to azerbaijans military while taking a huge toll on armenian soldiers this injured armenian volunteer came to pay respect to his commander and a commander son both recently killed in a drone strike. After treatment ill go back because we have to continue our commanders Unfinished Business we have to defend our borders we are not attacking now we are defending the whole world sees what is going on i mean is says about a 1000 soldiers have lost their lives so far hundreds of rounds are fired in this direction on a daily basis here in azerbaijan this city of tartar has become a focal point for me as fire power across the contact line similar scenes in a corner. But there was also reaching those living outside of the conflict zone. The amiriya lived and his wife were fit she was a piece of shrapnel from around that landed nearby theyre both from let choosing an occupied area which as it was john says its army is about to retake.

Scientists already knew water is present at the moons frigid pulls but could the hydrogen detected on the moons sunlit surface also be water the answer yes was a surprise discovery made by now says stratospheric observatory for infrared astronomy or sophia for short sophia is a modified boeing jet with a telescope aboard equipped to detect the chemical signature of h 2 a water scientists pointed sophia at the moons largest crater visible from earth as a test what sophia saw astounded them. Individual molecules of water surviving on the fall of the moon and if you were to gang up all those molecules of water it would be about well the water here big. Hole here big media already huge big. Lot of. Well all. Flowing love wired and. Now so says this lunar water is nothing like the water on earth it doesnt pool because each molecule is incased in a protective shield possibly glass the finding comes from a brief snapshot here olding many new questions but the question is can astronauts women and men on the surface actually extract this water harder to get their inhabitants by perhaps the water molecules come from micrometeoroid or solar wind or maybe the moon has more water beneath its surface that emerge from promote will cain opes now says its preparing to send drills with the next generation of rovers and in 2024 will send humans back to the moon before humans will be doing. It here oil.
