SpaceX makes 'final' attempt to buy out remaining residents of small Texas village to build private resort for Elon Musk's Starship space program - but the last 10 inhabitants are refusing to be 'bullied out of their homes'

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is said to be making its final attempt to buy out the remaining residents of Boca Chica Village to build a private resort to launch rockets into orbit – but the last 10 inhabitants of the Texas hamlet are refusing to budge. Negotiations are said to have reached a crucial moment, with the company hinting that it may ‘pursue alternative approaches’ to advance with its ambitious plans for the area, according to Business Insider. Musk began buying up homes and land in the area in 2015 to expand his SpaceX empire and build a test site for his Starship-Super Heavy program, a 394-foot-tall reusable rocket system. When complete, the Starship could slash the cost of reaching space a hundredfold, while also enabling frequent and relatively affordable access to orbit, the moon, and Mars, as well as hypersonic travel around Earth. But that dream, in addition to building a ‘resort’ for employees and important guests around the launch site, recently hit a major stumbling block. Th

Vice President Mike Pence has scrapped a planned trip to Indianapolis and will remain in Washington, D.C. Friday, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will unveil a 'commission' on the 25th Amendment - a move to remove President Donald Trump from office. 'Nobody's sick. There's no positive tests. The VP is planning on traveling on Saturday and Monday,' Pence spokesman Devin O'Malley said. 'We'll have more information on the vice president's schedule next week soon.'   On Thursday, Pence was campaigning in Nevada and Arizona, while Trump remained at the White House, recovering from COVID-19. He was supposed to travel home to Indiana to vote early in the 2020 election.  He gave a free-wheeling interview to Fox Business Network's Maria Bartiromo and sent out a flurry of tweets, as Pelosi suggested Trump may be mentally compromised.  Vice President Mike Pence scrapped a trip to vote early in Indianapolis Friday and will now remain in Washington, D.C

Joe Biden says Trump encouraged militia's plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer and said: 'Why won't the president say stop, stop, stop, stop?'

Democratic nominee Joe Biden said he believed that President Donald Trump encouragement to 'LIBERATE MICHIGAN' led to a plot to kidnap Michigan's Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and incite a 'civil war.'  'Yes I do,' Biden answered when asked about Trump's April tweet, which was in protest of the governor's coronavirus lockdown restrictions. 'Why can't the president just say, "Stop. Stop, stop, stop, and we will pursue you if you don't. So, stop."'   As he was arriving in Arizona for a campaign stop with Cindy McCain, the widow of Republican Sen. John McCain, Biden said he and running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, had both spoken with Whitmer Tuesday, hours after news of the plot broke.      Biden said Whitmer was 'feeling secure and good.' And he credited the FBI for the role the agency played.   'The words of a president matter,' Biden told reporters. 'They can cause a nation to have the market rise or fal
