☆ New ‘Buffalo Rangers’ series to highlight Korean War heroics by all-Black U.S. military unit
  + stars: | 2022-10-20 | by ( ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +2 min
“Band of Brothers” writer Bruce McKenna is teaming with David Broyles (“Six”) and Nick Jones Jr. (“Yasuke”) to write and produce a limited TV series “Buffalo Rangers” about the 2nd Ranger Company, the only all-Black special operations combat unit in U.S. history. The series is being produced by South Korea-based Moving Pictures Company, which has a growing English-language slate. Tim McCoy, a 2nd Ranger company historian for many years, will serve as a consultant to the project. The 2nd Rangers were made of volunteers from other army regiments and were commanded by Black officers. Martin Chase called the project, “a true, forgotten, classic action tale about Black men who displayed amazing courage and heroism in the face of war and seemingly insurmountable obstacles.”
☆ Biden’s Choose-Your-Own Covid Pandemic Policy
  + stars: | 2022-10-14 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
President Biden’s answer is yes no yes no. The latest example of politically convenient pandemic schizophrenia came Thursday when the Department of Health and Human Services again extended the official public-health emergency, this time through January. “The pandemic is over,” Mr. Biden told CBS’s “60 Minutes” only three weeks ago. But the pandemic is over.” Not to get all philosophical, but how can something be an emergency if it has already ended? The HHS statement this week says “a public health emergency exists and has existed since January 27, 2020, nationwide.”

President Biden’s repeated statements that the U.S. would defend Taiwan from a Chinese attack is chipping away at longstanding American policy meant to keep the hostile sides at bay. Mr. Biden’s recent remarks that the U.S. military would intervene if Beijing attacked Taiwan were the fourth time in just over a year he made such a pledge and appeared to retreat from the policy that leaves U.S. involvement ambiguous. In an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes” aired Sunday, Mr. Biden also said Taiwan would decide itself about declaring independence—a red line Beijing has said would trigger a military assault.

Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths continue, but some world leaders are signaling that the viral illness might not be a global emergency much longer. President Biden said the pandemic was over in an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes,” drawing criticism from some public-health experts. Four days prior, World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the pandemic was ongoing but that its end was in sight.

Ukrainian troops “have pushed across the Oskil. From yesterday, Ukraine controls the east bank,” the Ukrainian Armed Forces wrote on Telegram late Sunday. All of it.”President Joe Biden also said victory for Ukraine meant removing Russian forces from the entire country, and pledged U.S. support for as long as it takes. “Winning the war in Ukraine is to get Russia out of Ukraine completely and to recognize the sovereignty. Britain said Russian forces had widened strikes on civilian infrastructure following battlefield setbacks and were likely to expand their targets further.

WASHINGTON—President Biden said the Covid-19 pandemic was over, while reiterating comments that U.S. troops could defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion, during a televised interview that addressed questions about whether he would seek a second term. “The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with Covid,” Mr. Biden said in an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes” airing Sunday. “We’re still doing a lot of work on it … but the pandemic is over. And so I think it’s changing.”
☆ President Biden says America will get inflation under control. But it won’t be easy
  + stars: | 2022-09-19 | by ( Alicia Wallace | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
“I’m telling the American people that we’re going to get control of inflation,” Biden said in an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes” that aired on Sunday night. In June, the CPI reached 9.1% year over year, the highest inflation rate in more than four decades. [The] inflation rate month-to-month was just an inch, hardly at all,” he said in the interview. While declining energy prices have helped to lower the overall inflation rate, price increases for food and shelter remain stubbornly high. Still, key contributing and detracting factors of inflation remain largely beyond the control of Biden, and even the Fed.
