Forgotten Heroes: The French Jewish Resistance and Exodus 1947
The year 2019 marks the 72nd anniversary of the Exodus 1947 ship, perhaps the most dramatic post-World War II attempt to breach the British naval blockade and bring Holocaust survivors to Mandatory Palestine. The ship, with over 4,500 Holocaust survivors on board, left the French port of Sète on July 11, 1947. It was intercepted by the British, and — after a determined resistance — its passengers were returned to Port-de-Bouc in France on three deportation ships. The survivors refused to leave the French coast, and stayed on the ships under difficult conditions in the heavy August heat. They were ultimately led by force by the British to Hamburg, Germany – the country that had just slaughtered six million of their brethren.

3 Ways Trump’s New Regulations Will Better Protect Endangered Species
The Trump administration has just taken an important step in the effort to protect threatened and endangered species. On Monday, the administration published final regulations that will improve implementation of the Endangered Species Act. Over the law’s more than 45 years, only about 3% of the species listed as threatened or endangered have been removed from the list due to recovery. They recognized that a significant part of the problem is connected to how they have implemented the law.
No, Wages Are Not Rising Because of Minimum Wage Laws
Before lawmakers left for August recess, the Democrat-controlled House voted to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. Such a move would backfire in a major way if passed into law. It would hurt lower-skilled individuals the most, including teenagers, immigrants, and those without a high school degree. And women, who hold more low-wage jobs than men, would be hurt the most, accounting for more than 60% of the resulting lay-offs. We are in the midst of a record economic expansion in which workers in lower-wage jobs are seeing their wages grow faster than many high-wage workers. Average wage growth has been above 3% for the last 11 straight months. Congress should not tempt the resilience of the American economy by mandating a higher federal minimum wage.

News & Media Website in Washington, D.C.This is how the government should define Waters of the United States
How should the term "Waters of the United States" be defined under the Clean Water Act? For decades, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers have struggled to define this term, primarily because they have consistently sought to go beyond what is legally authorized. The Trump administration has proposed a new definition that does something different by seeking to stay within the law.

World must prepare for biological weapons that target ethnic groups based on genetics, says Cambridge University
Biological weapons could be built which target individuals in a specific ethnic group based on their DNA, a report by the University of Cambridge has warned. Researchers from Cambridge’s Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) said the government was failing to prepare for ‘human-driven catastrophic risks’ that could lead to mass harm and societal collapse.
