The Pentagon is wary of it. The city of Washington openly opposed it. And even some White House officials wonder whether a speech meant to be apolitical will stay that way — and whether crowds will materialize to watch it.With that raft of concern as its backdrop, President Donald Trump's pet project -- an Independence Day celebration of the military -- will proceed in extravagant fashion on Thursday (unless, of course, it rains). And that's a sharp change from how the holiday has been marked in the nation's capital by previous presidents from either party."It will be the show of a lifetime!" Trump declared optimistically a day before.The spectacle is likely to delight many Americans who view the military as one remaining unifying force for pride in a country divided along political, racial and economic lines. But it's also drawn skepticism and criticism for its costs and political hue.There will be flyovers of military jets, including a B-2 stealth bomber, F-22 fighter jets and the blue-and-white airliner that usually serves as Air Force One.Bands will herald the branches of the military with their official march songs. M1 Abrams tanks transported by heavy rail will sit on display, though precisely where will depend on whether the ground can support their weight.There will be about 750 to 800 military personnel taking part in the celebration, a defense official tells CNN. And that doesn't include the 900 hundred members of the DC National Guard who have been activated to provide traffic control and security on the streets and in the subway system.Trump will speak around 6:30 p.m., and there will be a 21-gun salute, according to the defense official. The President will then speak about each military service. He will first talk about the Coast Guard, with his remarks followed by the Coast Guard flyover. This format will be repeated for the Air Force, followed by its flyover, then the Navy, the Marine Corps and the Army. Trump will then make closing remarks and the Navy flight team the Blue Angels will do their demonstration, which will be followed by fireworks.Trump is hoping for an enormous crowd, and July Fourth reliably draws plenty of people to Washington. But the last time he delivered an address on the National Mall, on Inauguration Day, he was disappointed by the turnout, or at least in the way the turnout was depicted on the news.That's left some of his aides working overtime to fill out the space along the Mall where he will speak. It's not clear that their efforts will be successful, and some people who were offered tickets this week -- including donors and administration officials -- said they'd already made other plans.Trump will address the masses in front of Abraham Lincoln's 19-foot marble likeness, framed by the iconic Doric columns of the 16th president's memorial. He'll face a crowd of US military families, patriotic onlookers -- and ticketed VIPs, including some of his Republican allies.It's all a vastly scaled-up version of how presidents ordinarily celebrate July Fourth, the date American colonists officially served notice to Britain in 1776. Usually the holiday is marked with a picnic for service members and their families on the White House South Lawn, followed by a viewing of fireworks over the Washington Monument.Presidents haven't traditionally delivered public remarks, much less an address on the National Mall. And the day hasn't been marked by such overtly militaristic displays.That's caused concern even among US military brass that their ranks could end up politicized, according to people familiar with the matter. In the planning for the event, Pentagon leaders had reservations about putting tanks or other armored vehicles on display, a source with direct knowledge of the situation said.As the final details come together, several top military chiefs of the individual services are not attending and instead are sending alternates, though some said they had prior plans.The White House has insisted Trump's speech will not be political and will instead honor the military and its service to the country. But Trump has a way of turning even official events into political moments, including at military installations, often to the delight of the rank-and-file troops he's addressing.And even his own top aide, Kellyanne Conway, told reporters this week that the speech would highlight "the success of this administration."The military displays Trump ordered up -- which include the flyovers, tanks and other ceremonial units such as the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, the US Army Band ("Pershing's Own") and the US Marine Corps Silent Drill Team -- have led some to compare the event to the authoritarian parades seen in places like China or North Korea.But Trump's inspiration was actually a parade in France, which he witnessed with delight on Bastille Day in 2017. He immediately began formulating plans to stage a parade of his own, though cost estimates later caused him to reduce his aspirations to the speech and military pageant that will be seen Thursday.Through it all, Trump has taken enormous interest in even the smallest details, from the staging to the military equipment on display.It's those details that are likely to ratchet up the costs of the event, though the massive fireworks display that will cap the evening has been donated.Already, the National Park Service is redirecting nearly .5 million to help cover costs related to the July 4 extravaganza, according to The Washington Post, money that the paper says is usually "primarily intended to improve parks across the country."It's not clear how much the event will cost altogether, though Trump attempted to downplay the amount on Wednesday."The cost of our great Salute to America tomorrow will be very little compared to what it is worth," he wrote on Twitter. "We own the planes, we have the pilots, the airport is right next door (Andrews), all we need is the fuel. We own the tanks and all. Fireworks are donated by two of the greats. Nice!"That isn't entirely truthful -- the planes used in the flyovers will come from California, Missouri, Kentucky and Florida. And the costs of the event extend well beyond the military equipment.For example, just the "transparent ballistic armor" used to protect the President during his speech could cost more than ,000, according 6366

The US military has been ordered to withdraw about half the troops in Afghanistan, a US defense official with direct knowledge of the matter told CNN on Thursday.The official said planning is underway, and it could take months to withdraw the nearly 7,000 troops.The decision was made Tuesday, at the same time as President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the US military from Syria -- moves that precipitated Defense Secretary James Mattis' 457

The UAW-GM contract has been ratified and the strike has officially ended on day 40.United Autoworkers members have ratified a new four-year contract that covers employees at 55 UAW-represented sites across the U.S. Union and management inside the GM world headquarters in Detroit are watching the numbers and the union is reporting out two votes – production and skilled trades. "We delivered a contract that recognizes our employees for the important contributions they make to the overall success of the company, with a strong wage and benefit package and additional investment and job growth in our U.S. operations," said Mary Barra, GM Chairman and CEO. "GM is proud to provide good-paying jobs to tens of thousands of employees in America and to grow our substantial investment in the U.S. As one team, we can move forward and stay focused on our priorities of safety and building high-quality cars, trucks and crossovers for our customers."Big assembly plants in other states have been influencing the vote, with most leaning toward "yes."Workers at the Orion Assembly plant were among the last to have informational meetings and vote Thursday. 1164

The Trump administration on Wednesday will announce two executive orders aimed at freeing up more pipelines to supply the United States with oil and gas. The orders could give the federal government more power over states in approving energy projects.The United States is producing more oil and gas than any point in its history, in large part because of the shale boom in the Permian Basin in West Texas. But producers have trouble getting all of that supply to customers due to constraints on the number of pipelines.Canadian oil is also a problem, because Canada has run out of pipelines to send oil to the United States.Several states have invoked the Clean Water Act to delay approval of sections of pipelines, arguing that the pipelines will cause environmental damage.New York, for example, rejected a natural gas pipeline three years ago that state officials said failed to meet water quality standards. Developers still want to build that pipeline, which was supposed to transport natural gas throughout markets in the Northeast.One of the executive orders will direct the Environmental Protection Agency to revise the way states can consider the Clean Water Act when deciding whether to approve pipelines, according to a senior administration official.The official told reporters Tuesday night that there are "a lot of problems" with the way the Clean Water Act is being interpreted, adding that the administration expects the executive order to "alleviate" some of those issues.A second executive order is aimed at making cross-border energy infrastructure approval more streamlined. It says that any decision to issue or deny a cross-border permit shall be made solely by President Donald Trump.That executive order isn't limited to pipelines, but would cover other kinds of energy infrastructure projects, too. It comes amid controversy over the Keystone XL Pipeline, which is operated by TransCanada and which would bring Canadian oil into the United States. The Obama administration opted to shut down that pipeline, but the Trump administration has sought to reopen it. An official said Tuesday that the new executive order would affect "future" permitting for energy projects at the border.As energy prices have risen over the past several months, Trump has called on OPEC, the oil cartel led by Saudi Arabia, to help reduce the price of oil in the United States. Oil prices have risen because of a variety of factors including fighting in Libya, sanctions against Venezuela and Iran, and the inability of United States energy producers to deliver their vast supply to US customers.It is unclear if the executive order will have its intended, if any, impact. Many states are embroiled in bitter legal disputes with the Trump administration, and the executive order is unlikely to settle any of those disputes. 2838

Thousands took to social media on Tuesday to show solidarity with the Black Lives Matters movement by participating in Blackout Tuesday — but leaders are asking participants not to use hashtags associated with the movement. Blackout Tuesday was originally planned as a protest for those in the music industry in response to the death of George Floyd. Floyd died in Minneapolis police custody on Memorial Day, and bystadner video showed an officer kneeling on Floyd's neck. Officer Derek Chauvin has been charged with murder in connection with his death.According to Rolling Stone, artists, producers and executives in the music industry originally called for June 2 to be a day to "not conduct business as usual" and instead use the day to support the black community.
