Work should begin this year at properties overseen by Lendlease in Hawaii, California, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.
“The planned improvements at each installation are designed with residents in mind, to not only enhance the look and feel of the communities, but also ensure that housing is supporting today’s service members and their families, as well as future generations of military families,” Jerry Schmitz, senior vice president for Lendlease Communities, who oversees the A
Biden’s First Move on Nuclear Weapons
When Putin calls to congratulate the new U.S. president, Biden should seize the opportunity.
At some point in the coming weeks President-elect Joe Biden will likely receive a call from Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulating him on his election victory. Biden should seize the opportunity to provide an overdue reality check on nuclear weapons.
Tensions between the two nations that possess roughly 90 percent of the world’s nuclear warheads are reaching levels not seen since the darkest days of the Cold War, even as the edifice of arms control agreements that kept Cold War dangers in check teeters on the verge of collapse.

tuesday in front of these two particular house subcommittees. we have come to the conclusion, forced to the conclusion that this is not a search for truth. it s a chance for republican members of the house to preen and posture before their most radical conspiracy-minded constituents. from our experience with the committee thus far is obvious that they don t want the truth. last week house oversight committee member mark meadows spoke on what exactly the committees do hope to learn from strzok. there s a growing body of evidence that while the i.g. may have been hacked with peter strzok s bias not affecting the hillary clinton outcome, i don t know that you can make the same conclusion on the russia investigation. what we re finding is the text messages were indicative of other decisions that were made or not made throughout the
