West Point, which is north of the coronavirus hotspot of New York City, sent students home earlier this year when the viral outbreak began.

Netflix confirms official HD support for ASUS ROG II, ZenFone 6, and new TCL phones

New York Times column calls for U.S. military to suppress protests with "overwhelming force"
The New York Times today published a column by Sen. Tom Cotton calling for the U.S. military to violently suppress nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man killed by police in Minneapolis.
These rioters, if not subdued, not only will destroy the livelihoods of law-abiding citizens but will also take more innocent lives. Many poor communities that still bear scars from past upheavals will be set back still further.
