Educational System: #Florida
FL passes law requiring high-school students to receive instruction in managing taxes & bank accounts.
In Florida, the Governor has signed SB1054 into law which requires high-school students to earn one-half credit in personal financial literacy and money management; including instruction on types of bank accounts, credit scores, taxes, and managing debt. The Florida Commissioner of Education explained that the standard course will teach "concepts such as opening up a savings or checking account, buying a first home, or planning for retirement."

"The #Arizona Legislature just passed H.B. 2613, which would have mandated voting machines used in state elections be made in America. Furthermore, this legislation would have required all those voting machines to have 100% of their parts & components sourced and assembled in the U.S.
Unfortunately for the people of Arizona, Hobbs vetoed the legislation."
#CALIFORNIA OFFICIALS INVESTIGATING LOSS OF 30-TON SHIPMENT OF EXPLOSIVE CHEMICALS
Some 60,000lbs of ammonium nitrate, a chemical used as both fertilizer and a component in explosives, went missing as it was shipped by rail from Wyoming to California last month, prompting 4 separate investigations.
Dyno Nobel says it believes the material — transported in pellet form in a covered hopper car similar to those used to ship coal — disappeared about 30 miles from the town of Mojave in eastern Kern County and must have"fell" from the car through an unsecured hopper door.
But there's no evidence mentioned of 60,000 lbs laying alongside the tracks ...seems like that'd be hard to miss, no? Don't worry, though. Pete is on the job, so we can rest easy.

National Defense Brief: #China/U.S. War
BLUF: Intel reveals U.S military planning for kinetic war w/ China; military draft expected for civilians/IRR/NNRPS; 4 week basic training OK'd; Biden authorizes $500 million in arms to #Taiwan, China responds warning they'll "smash" U.S. attempts to interfere.
Newly obtained intelligence provides more insight into the Secretary of the Army's previous announcement that the U.S. is planning for a military conflict with China and the USAF Air Mobility Commander's assessment of it occuring by 2025.
A U.S. military HUMINT source revealed that China is expected to obtain a "plateau" of economic assets to launch a military offensive capable of sustaining a war against the U.S. by 2025. This coupled with increased rhetoric against Taiwanese independence and the U.S.'s possibility of intervention if an invasion of Taiwan was to occur, would lead to a China/U.S. conflict. The source revealed that multiple logistical operations have already began to position the U.S. to fight a kinetic war in the Indo-Pacific region with anticipated loss of U.S. vessels assured.
The source further advised that the U.S. military has internally approved a national draft (if necessary) to include civilians, those under Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) Military Service Obligations (MSO), those under Non-obligated Non-Participating Ready Reserve Personnel Section (NNRPS), and those released from IRR MSOs (includes all former service members). The source further explained that at least one branch (Navy) would field an expedited Intial Entry Training (basic training) that would last for only 4 weeks for newly enlisted sailors.
Debrief: While this is a reliable and verified source, the intel has not be independently confirmed by official channels or an alternative HUMINT source. This is non-actionable at this time and is shared FYSA only.
The timeline corresponds with the Commander of the U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command, who advised that he projects a war with China in 2025.
The Secretary of the U.S. Army statements are also inline with the source's strategic intelligence (not revealed here for OPSEC/NATSEC purposes). The Secretary advised that the military is establishing "theater distribution centers” in the Indo-Pacific region IOT stockpile supplies and fuel. She explained that "staging bases for the Navy, for the Marines, for the Air Force" are being built-up with "integrated air and missile defense capabilities". Speaking to the U.S. Army's role she explained that the "goal is to have Army forces in the Indo-Pacific seven to eight months out of the year" leading up to a conflict.
For a contextual reminder, the Commander of the U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command, General (4-star) Mike Minihan, drafted a memorandum warning of war with China in 2025, saying "I hope I am wrong. My gut tells me we will fight in 2025. [Chinese President] Xi [Jinping] secured his third term and set his war council in October 2022...Taiwan's presidential elections are in 2024 and will offer Xi a reason. United States' presidential elections are in 2024 and will offer Xi a distracted America. Xi's team, reason, and opportunity are all aligned for 2025." The Commander further urged service members to train with their firearms advising "unrepentant lethality matters most..aim for the head." In the memo the Commander explained that the military "spent 2022 setting the foundation for victory...we will spend 2023 in crisp operational motion building on that foundation." The memo explained U.S. forces need to work "faster" and be ready to "deter, and if required, defeat China." The head of the House Foreign Affairs Committee responded to the Commander's memo saying "I think he’s right." The former Commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command warned that the "threat [with China will] manifest" by 2025.
///BREAK///
President Biden will use the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) to retract supplies from U.S. stockpiles without congressional approval (lawful under an emergency) to send $500 million (another $500 million is earmarked) in arms along with 100+ military advisors to Taiwan. China’s People’s Liberation Army responded on May 16th to Biden's PDA action saying that China "continues to strengthen military training and preparations and will resolutely smash any form of Taiwanese independence secession along with attempts at outside interference, and will resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity."
Debrief: Of note, the PDA action has been used 35+ times by Biden to send aid to Ukraine. Taiwan has complained of lack of support in recent months as U.S. arsenals continue to move to Ukraine, depleting U.S. supplies and leaving Taiwan without the support they've requested. Also, China just completed war games in the region a few weeks ago.

🇺🇸🇲🇽 Migrants are ordering food delivery through the U.S.-Mexico border wall
Hundreds of #migrants are now stranded between the walls of the U.S.-Mexico #border — unable to cross into the United States but unwilling to venture back into Mexico.
Some of these migrants have been stuck in this liminal space for over a week, sustaining themselves initially on the food and water given out by the U.S. authorities and volunteer donations. This week, many of them have begun resorting to ordering food via delivery apps from the Mexican side of the border.
On the Tijuana and San Diego border, where migrants are stranded between two of the three walls that separate the two countries, deliveries are being handed off through the gaps in the wall.

🇨🇳🇺🇸🇧🇷China may cancel more US corn in shift to cheaper Brazil cargoes
Top corn importer #China could cancel more purchases of the grain from the #US because the country can buy more cheaply from Brazil and as some local producers of hog feed replace corn with wheat in their rations.
China has cancelled over 832,000 tons of US corn in the past three weeks. #Brazil is set to pass the US as the top exporter this year.
US corn is now less competitive, with supplies from Brazil about $30 a ton cheaper for delivery in the third quarter. Weak domestic demand for corn as animal feed is also a reason behind the cancellations.
