Jill Biden, 72, is “currently experiencing only mild symptoms,” her communications director Elizabeth Alexander said in a statement.
“She will remain at their home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware,” Alexander added.
The first lady, who previously received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine as well as a pair of booster shots, has tested positive for the coronavirus at least twice before.
Joe Biden, 80, was administered a COVID-19 test Monday night following the first lady’s positive test, according to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

Joe Biden, 80, was administered a COVID-19 test Monday night following the first lady’s positive test, according to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
The first lady’s first positive COVID-19 test occurred on Aug. 16, 2022, after developing “cold-like symptoms” near the end of the first family’s stay on Kiawah Island, S.C.
She once again tested positive in a “rebound” case of the virus on Aug. 24, 2022, but experienced “no reemergence of symptoms.”
Currently leading ECOWAS is Nigerian President Bola Tinubu. Tinubu has earned plaudits in the West as a defender of democracy and someone not willing to let another country be taken over by the army. Yet Hundeyin was highly critical of his actions, describing him as someone who is “acting as a diplomatic puppet and seems determined to drag Nigeria into a war which nobody wants.”
Tinubu made his fortune from trafficking heroin in Chicago and had hundreds of thousands of dollars seized by the U.S. government. There are many other U.S. cases against Tinubu that have never seen the light of day, prompting many to speculate that he is an American intelligence asset.
Due to a 1993 Illinois court judgment, Tinubu forfeited $460,000 in two of his bank accounts.
The forfeiture was the outcome of an investigation that linked over $2 million in several of Tinubu’s bank accounts to proceeds from the heroin trafficking of Adegboyega Mueez Akande and Abiodun Agbele, Chicago drug kingpins.
January 1992, Tinubu became the subject of a US federal investigation into heroin trafficking and money laundering in Illinois, Chicago.
July 26 1993
Signed copies of the US court document show bank accounts in Tinubu’s name were linked with drug trafficking and money laundering.
The Russian foreign ministry has said Moscow will view any move to return US nuclear weapons to the UK as an escalation and will respond with “countermeasures” for its own security.
The foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova was responding to a report last week about an item in the 2024 US air force budget for building a dormitory at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk for personnel on a “potential surety mission” – military jargon for nuclear safety and security. It raised the prospect of the return of US nuclear weapons to British soil for the first time in more than 15 years.
If this step is ever made, we will view it as escalation, as a step toward escalation that would take things to a direction that is quite opposite to addressing the pressing issue of pulling all nuclear weapons out of European countries,” Zakharova said.
“In the context of the transition of the United States and Nato to an openly confrontational course of inflicting a ‘strategic defeat’ on Russia, this practice and its development force us to take compensating countermeasures designed to reliably protect the security interests of our country and its allies.”
New U.S. Air Force budgetary documents strongly imply that the United States Air Force is in the process of re-establishing its nuclear weapons mission on UK soil.
The Air Force’s FY 2024 budgetary justification package, dated March 2023, notes the planned construction of a “surety dormitory” at RAF Lakenheath, approximately 100 kilometers northeast of London. The “surety dormitory” was also briefly mentioned in the Department of Defense’s testimony to Congress in March 2023, but with no accompanying explanation. “Surety” is a term commonly used within the Department of Defense and Department of Energy to refer to the capability to keep nuclear weapons safe, secure, and under positive control.
The justification documents note the new requirement to “Construct a 144-bed dormitory to house the increase in enlisted personnel as the result of the potential Surety Mission” [emphasis added]. To justify the new construction, the documents note, “With the influx of airmen due to the arrival of the potential Surety mission and the bed down of the two F-35 squadrons there is a significant deficiency in the amount of unaccompanied housing available for E4s and below at Royal Air Force Lakenheath”
A prominent Kremlin propagandist has issued a dire nuclear threat against the United States.
Igor Korotchenko, editor of the newspaper National Defense and a frequent guest on Russia 1 channel, has sent shockwaves across international circles with his recent pronouncements.
Korotchenko's ominous warning came in response to criticism of Russian actions in the war-torn region.
He stated, "Russia is being warned and threatened that if we misbehave…he threatens us with more than just strikes on the Crimean bridge."
Korotchenko also suggested that Ben Hodges, NATO senior member for logistics, believed the U.S. might contemplate strikes on Russian Black Sea Fleet bases, Crimean troops, and even Russian naval installations in Tartus, Syria.
Did you know? The Soviet leadership created artificial rain to save Moscow from the Chernobyl fallout- how we made it rain.
Wells Fargo has filed to close an additional 37 branches across the US, further accelerating America's transition to automated banking.
The latest round of closures come as America faces a banking bloodbath as big firms axe branches and ATMs at lightning speed.
Included in the OCC bulletin were applications from other banks, most notably Chase, which filed to close around seven. Bank of America filed for four closures, while Capital One and PNC announced plans to axe one each.
Branches continue to play an important role in the way we serve our customers, and we continuously evaluate our branch network in light of changing customer needs, the increase in the use of digital banking and market factors,' they added.
Former Goldman Sachs executive Raoul Pal says there’s a use-case for crypto worth about $1 quadrillion that will eventually flow into the space.
In a new interview on Crypto Banter, the macro guru says that BlackRock’s recent push for a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) has potentially paved the way for massive amounts of money to move onto blockchains and crypto platforms.
Ex-Goldman Banker Says $1 Quadrillion Crypto Use-Case That ‘Dwarfs Everything’ Could Come to Industry
Former Goldman Sachs executive Raoul Pal says there’s a use-case for crypto worth about $1 quadrillion that will eventually flow into the space.
In a new interview on Crypto Banter, the macro guru says that BlackRock’s recent push for a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) has potentially paved the way for massive amounts of money to move onto blockchains and crypto platforms.
Says Pal,
“I think it’s very important what BlackRock have done. Not for the ETF, not for the flows, but for the message it sends to the entire financial industry.
Again, I know a lot of these people, BlackRock have been involved in crypto for a while now. Don’t forget, he (Larry Fink) talked about it in the last cycle. Apollo, massive. Goldman, JPMorgan – they’re all there, but what we’re doing is seeing them come to the surface and say, ‘This is a meaningful technology… ‘
In a recent Twitter Spaces titled “What’s Happening with XRP,” David “JoelKatz” Schwartz, the CTO of Ripple hypothesized a scenario wherein XRP could emerge as the world’s reserve currency.
Speaking about world reserve currencies, Schwartz stated that he believed that a lot of the world was done with the American dollar as the reserve currency. Schwartz argued that several countries were willing to try an alternative to the dollar. “One of my wild case scenarios for digital assets is if countries realize the US currency is not going to be the reserve forever,” said the tech leader.
The Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has announced that it now accepting Bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a payment option through PayPal for Coloradans to renew driver's licenses, identification cards, and vehicle registrations.
“At the DMV, we’re always looking for ways to better serve Coloradans and leverage technology to offer our services,” said Senior Director Electra Bustle. “This new online cryptocurrency payment option is yet another way the DMV is providing innovative and convenient service delivery to our customers.”
Here's how it works: customers just have to select the cryptocurrency payment option, and they will be redirected to PayPal, where they can choose their preferred cryptocurrency to complete the transaction. The selected cryptocurrency is then converted into dollars, covering the total amount due along with applicable fees, before being remitted to the DMV.

DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman joins ‘Squawk Box’ to discuss Suleyman’s latest book, how quickly the artificial intelligence space is moving, and more.
Walk any direction in Las Vegas and it's easy to find machines doing human work.
Check-in kiosks have replaced people at the front desk of hotels. Text-bots now make restaurant recommendations instead of a concierge. Robots can serve food, and behind the bar, machines are pouring out drinks.
Automation and technology replacing jobs has long been a conversation in Nevada's most populated city. Studies show that between 38% to 65% of jobs there could be automated by 2035.
With the use of artificial intelligence on the rise, the economy of this city --which relies on tourism and hospitality — is at an inflection point, as companies look to technology to reduce labor costs.
Wherever the resort industry can replace their workers and not affect productivity, profits or the customer experience — wherever they can do that with artificial intelligence... they will," said John Restrepo, principal at RCG Economics in Las Vegas.
BMW will build its semi-autonomous driver assistance system on Amazon's cloud computing technology, the two companies said Tuesday.
The German automaker's next-generation advanced driver assistance system, or ADAS, will feature in its Neue Klasse range of electric cars that the company revealed on Saturday — that will launch in 2025.
ADAS will require large amounts of data processing as the software relies on hardware sets, including cameras and semiconductors. Artificial intelligence processes are key to underpinning these assisted driving systems.
That's where Amazon Web Services, or AWS, comes in. BMW will store and process lots of data in Amazon's cloud servers. As autonomous driving features advance, an increasing amount of data storage and processing will be required.
SMART ePANTS, which sounds like ‘smarty pants’ when spoken out loud, is a US government program seeking to develop active smart textiles (AST) with sensors, cameras, and wires woven directly into garments. The person wearing this technology, in the form of a shirt, pants, or underwear, can record audio video in their surroundings, and their location will be trackable via a geolocation sensor.
The application of SMART ePANTS will be across agents and employees of intelligence, counterterrorism, and national security agencies like the Central Intelligence Agency National Security Agency, among others.
This eTextile technology could also assist personnel and first responders in dangerous, high-stress environments, such as crime scenes and arms control inspections, without impeding their ability to swiftly and safely operate,” said a press release by IARPA, which also noted that IARPA invests in high-risk, high-payoff research programs to tackle some of the most difficult challenges of the agencies and disciplines in the IC.
The Department of the Air Force on Aug. 31 issued a broad agency announcement (BAA) on the development of next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to support the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) initiative.
According to the BAA, AI has the potential to transform “the Department of the Air Force and Joint Force Command and Control capabilities across strategic, operational, and tactical levels by enabling decision makers to effectively assess the battlespace, rapidly explore, create, and select the best plan, and direct and monitor forces at pace and scale in a distributed setting.”
Artificial intelligence software successfully flew an XQ-58A Valkyrie drone, the Air Force Research Laboratory announced Aug. 2.
Humanoid robots are starting to work side by side with actual people in warehouses for the first time, moving heavy boxes and containers
Apptronik, with 85 employees, came out of the Human Centered Robotics Lab at the University of Texas, and worked on NASA's first bipedal robot, Valkyrie.
Other companies at or near Apptronik's stage of humanoid robot production include Figure, Agility Robotics and Sanctuary AI.
Big names in the field include Boston Dynamics and Tesla.
The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and healthcare has birthed a groundbreaking development in drug discovery. Insilico Medicine, a pioneering AI-driven biotech company with offices in Hong Kong and New York City, has unveiled a novel AI-designed drug targeting COVID-19. This significant leap has now entered Phase I clinical trials. This oral drug, distinct from a vaccine, can potentially become the first-ever alternative to Paxlovid, currently the solitary medication available for COVID-19 symptoms.
While the advent of AI-generated drugs like ISM3312 opens new doors in the realm of treatment, prudence remains paramount. Dr. Harvey Castro, a distinguished board-certified emergency medicine physician and AI expert, underscores the importance of measured optimism. Acknowledging ISM3312 as a significant step in the battle against COVID-19, Castro emphasizes the need for continued vigilance and data-driven decision-making.
Insilico’s breakthrough serves as a testament to the transformative potential of AI in healthcare. The convergence of AI and drug discovery presents an innovative approach that could reshape the landscape of medical advancements. With AI’s ability to swiftly identify and assess new solutions, the journey from lab to treatment could become markedly more efficient, aiding in the fight against evolving strains and preventing future pandemics.

A Fox News review of court records, health reports and interviews with people who did business with Universal Meditech Inc. (UMI), a California medical supply firm, raises serious questions about its legitimacy and Chinese ties – as well as an apparently illicit biolab.
The underground biolab in the central California town of Reedley – population 25,000 – was discovered late last year and immediately set off alarm bells with local officials who said they were unaware of what was taking place inside the previously vacant warehouse.
As multiple local, state and federal governmental agencies continue to look into the biolab, a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identified 20 different infectious agents inside the building, which was once used to package food. That report found cultures of tuberculosis, dengue, HIV, COVID-19 and malaria interspersed with old lab equipment and slipshod storage, along with dead and dying mice in an overall unsanitary environment.
