    Tbilisi, May 18 (Xinhua) — China is an important strategic market for Georgian wine, where a marketing campaign is being actively carried out to increase awareness and expand exports of Georgian wines, the Georgian National Wine Agency said on Sunday.

    According to the organization, 1.12 million liters of Georgian wine were exported from Georgia to China in January-April of this year, which is 78 percent more than in the same period last year. “Thus, China has firmly taken its place among the top five largest countries exporting Georgian wine,” the agency noted.

    With the financial and organizational support of the National Wine Agency, in 2025 Georgian wines will be actively represented in such strategic markets as China, the USA, Great Britain, Germany, Poland, the Republic of Korea and Japan.

    In 2024, Georgia exported 95 million liters of wine and spirits to 72 countries worldwide for a total of about $565 million. –0–

    A rush transcript of the Governor’s remarks is available below:

     Thank you, Mark, and all the members of JCRC and Eric Goldstein for all the great work you do with UJA and all of the supporters of Israel who are gathered here today. Make your voices heard.

    You can do better than that. I want them to hear you across the ocean. Let them know as John Kennedy — if you allow me to quote another Irish Catholic because that’s what I am. You okay with me quoting John Kennedy?

    He said, “Israel in 1960 was the child of hope”. That is the theme of our parade. And they said they’ll always overcome adversity because — my God, they are resilient people. They were tested then at the birth of this nation and they’re continuing to be tested today.

    And as I said last year — speaking about the hostages — I went there and I met Keith’s family in Israel days after they were taken hostage. We gathered, all of us went together. And we said, “We will not rest until every single one of them is brought home.” Never in the wildest dreams did I think that 589 days later, there’d still be 60 – 60 hostages waiting to come home. Some alive and some have not made it.

    My God, we will not rest until these three words become a reality. “Bring them home.”

    Bring them home. Bring them home. Thank you. We’re going to continue supporting Israel. Always here in the great State of New York. Thank you.

    JERUSALEM, May 18 (Xinhua) — The Israeli army on Sunday announced a large-scale move into “many areas” of the Gaza Strip. Palestinian health officials said airstrikes overnight and early morning killed at least 67 people, including many women and children.

    The Israeli military said ground forces, including reservists, had launched “large-scale operations” in the north and south of the Palestinian enclave in an operation code-named “Gideon’s Chariots.” The campaign marks a new stage in Israel’s 20-month-old war against the Palestinian Hamas movement and other armed groups.

    Palestinian sources said Israeli air strikes hit the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis, including tents housing displaced civilians.

    At least 67 Palestinians have been killed and 361 wounded in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

    According to the Israeli army, its forces have killed “dozens” of militants, eliminated ground and underground military infrastructure and now occupy strategic positions in the Gaza Strip.

    Meanwhile, delegations from Israel and Hamas have gathered in the Qatari capital Doha for another round of proximity talks aimed at brokering a ceasefire and releasing the hostages. Diplomats say progress remains elusive as both sides remain firm in their positions. –0–

  • MIL-OSI USA News: The One Big Beautiful Bill Will Crack Down On Illegal Immigration

    Source: The White House

    The One Big Beautiful Bill is a historic piece of legislation that empowers ICE to deport the millions of illegal immigrants that entered under Joe Biden, ensures illegal immigrants do not receive food stamps or Medicaidtaxes money illegal aliens send out of the country, and permanently secures the border.

    The Big Beautiful Bill includes tens of billions of dollars in expanded ICE detention and calls for hiring a minimum of 10,000 new ICE agents. The House Judiciary Committee says the bill “provides funding for at least 1 million annual removals, 10,000 new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel, and detention capacity sufficient to maintain an average daily population of at least 100,000 aliens.”

    As NumbersUSA said in a statement: “For decades Congress has promised to secure the border and failed to deliver. The House Reconciliation bill delivers on the promise of building the border wall, 10,000 ICE officers, detention beds, historic funding for Customs and Border Patrol and a tax on money illegal aliens send out of the country. The Trump Administration needs this funding to deport illegal aliens, millions of whom entered the country over the last four years.”

    Even opponents of the President’s agenda acknowledge that this historic legislation will allow ICE to “ramp up mass deportation operations to a level never before seen in American history.”

    Put simply, The Big Beautiful Bill will empower Big Beautiful Deportations.

    Source: US Congressman Don Davis (NC-01)

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Don Davis (NC-01) voted in favor of three bills to enhance public safety and improve law enforcement well-being during National Police Week. 

    On Wednesday, May 14, Congressman Don Davis voted yes on H.R. 2240, the Improving Law Enforcement Officer Safety and Wellness Through Data Act. Davis, a cosponsor of the legislation, said the bill is a step forward in protecting law enforcement officers. The bill aims to improve how attacks on officers are tracked and reported. It allows more detailed information to be voluntarily shared, such as whether an attack was planned or coordinated. It also directs the U.S. Department of Justice to consider adding “escalatory aggression” to its reports and to review how often officers use available mental health resources.

    “Our law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities, and they deserve our support,” said Congressman Don Davis. “Congress must ensure that these officers have the necessary tools and resources to effectively serve and protect the communities they are sworn to uphold.”

    By improving data collection, we can develop more effective strategies to protect those who serve and better address their mental health needs.”

    On Thursday, May 15, Congressman Davis voted in favor of H.R. 2243, the LEOSA Reform Act. The bipartisan legislation expands where qualified active and retired law enforcement officers can securely carry firearms to respond during emergencies. 

    Congressman Davis also voted for H.R. 2255, the Federal Law Enforcement Officer Service Weapon Purchase Act of 2025. The bill allows federal law enforcement officers to buy back their retired service weapons at salvage value. Currently, federal agencies are required to destroy these firearms which costs taxpayers money. 

    “These bills are a step in the right direction,” said Congressman Davis. “They not only protect officers on the job but also honor their service after retirement.”

    All three bills now move to the Senate for consideration.

    JERUSALEM, May 18 (Xinhua) — An Israeli negotiating team in the Qatari capital Doha is holding indirect talks with the Palestinian Hamas movement on a hostage deal that would potentially end the war in the Gaza Strip, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Sunday.

    The statement said the negotiating team was working in Doha “to pursue every chance to reach a deal,” which would include “an end to the fighting,” the release of 58 hostages still held in the Palestinian enclave, the expulsion of Hamas militants and the disarmament of the Gaza Strip.

    The statement was made against the backdrop of the indirect talks between Israel and Hamas that resumed in Doha on May 17. As a source close to the Palestinian movement told Xinhua on condition of anonymity, they were based on a proposal presented by US Special Envoy for the Middle East Steven Witkoff, to which Hamas made significant changes.

    Earlier on the evening of May 16, Israel announced the intensification of military operations in Gaza and the launch of a new military operation code-named “Gideon’s Chariots,” the goal of which is to expand the scale of fighting in the Palestinian enclave and achieve key military goals of the Jewish state, including the release of hostages and the elimination of Hamas.

    Gaza health authorities said on Sunday that 3,193 Palestinians had been killed and another 8,993 wounded since Israel resumed its intensified offensive on March 18, bringing the total number of Gaza deaths to 53,339 and wounded to 121,034 since the war began in October 2023.

    According to Israeli estimates, 58 of the 251 hostages taken by Hamas during the attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, still remain in the enclave. Of the 58 hostages, 20 are believed to be alive. –0–

    WASHINGTON – AFSCME President Lee Saunders released the following statement recognizing National EMS Week, which is happening May 18-24:

    “Every day, we are grateful for the selfless heroes who choose careers in EMS, including many AFSCME members. No matter the situation, these highly trained professionals never quit when it comes to saving lives — even if it means putting themselves in harm’s way. We must remember to never take their service or sacrifice for granted.

    “While we celebrate these essential workers, anti-union extremists in Congress are racing to gut Medicaid — which would devastate emergency services. Less funding for this lifesaving program would make it more difficult for EMS workers to help us when we’re in crisis. Medicaid cuts would shutter hospitals and clinics, force ambulances to travel farther, delay care and overwhelm an already stretched EMS workforce with fewer staff, less equipment and longer response times. That’s why we’re getting organized to defend public services and our jobs.

    “This EMS Week, we’re standing up for the care we depend on and the first responders who deliver it. We won’t allow Congress to put billionaires ahead of our communities.”

    BEIJING, May 18 — The total output value of China’s satellite navigation and positioning service industry reached 575.8 billion yuan (about 79.9 billion U.S. dollars) in 2024, up 7.39 percent year on year, according to a white paper published Sunday.

    This year’s white paper on the development of China’s satellite navigation and positioning service industry noted that by the end of 2024 the cumulative number of satellite navigation patent applications in China had exceeded 129,000 and approximately 288 million mobile phones in the country were equipped with positioning capabilities enabled by the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).

    In 2024, the core output value of chips, algorithms and terminal devices, directly related to China’s satellite navigation and location-based service industry, went up to 169.9 billion yuan, said Yu Xiancheng, president of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Location Based Services (LBS) Association of China (GLAC).

    The BDS has achieved high-precision lane-level navigation, covering more than 99 percent of urban and rural roads across the country. It provides over 1 trillion location services daily and supports a total daily navigation mileage of over 4 billion kilometers.

    Additionally, the BDS empowers road tests for intelligent connected vehicles and ensures the application of intelligent assisted driving in more than 50 cities nationwide.

    “The BDS not only meets domestic demands, but also enables people all over the world to enjoy high-quality public navigation services from China,” said Li Donghang, head of the GLAC Beidou-Space Time Technology Research Institute. The BDS products and services have been exported to over 140 countries and regions.

    As a core supplier of global satellite navigation systems recognized by the United Nations, the BDS has been fully integrated into the standards of 11 international organizations, including civil aviation, maritime affairs and mobile communications.

    More than 30 African countries, including Nigeria, Tunisia, Senegal, Cameroon, and Djibouti, have established BeiDou Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS), providing high-precision positioning services for local water conservancy, transportation, agriculture, and meteorological monitoring.

    In South America, the Chancay Port in Peru is the first smart port to apply the “5G + BeiDou high-precision positioning + AI” technology.

    Source: Agenzia Fides – MIL OSI

    Saturday, 17 May 2025  

    Ho Chi Minh City (Fides) – “Pope Leo XIV should visit Vietnam, fulfilling Pope Francis’s wish,” headlines a Vietnamese Catholic online newspaper. It is an example of how the Vietnamese Catholic and secular press has also welcomed the news of the new pope’s election. The article recalls that “Pope Francis left behind a profound legacy of compassion, peace, and interreligious dialogue.” “One of Pope Francis’s unfulfilled wishes,” the newspaper continued, “was to visit Vietnam, a country with a vibrant Catholic community and a rich cultural history.” Therefore, they are hoping for “a visit by Pope Leo XIV,” which would “certainly have great significance not only for the Vietnamese Church, but also for other areas such as culture, society, and diplomacy” and “would be a great source of encouragement for Vietnamese Catholics, helping them strengthen their faith and experience unity with the universal Church.” “We wholeheartedly hope that Pope Leo XIV will visit Vietnam, which would be a historic event not only for the Catholic community but also for the entire Vietnamese people, bringing a message of peace, solidarity, and love. The Vietnamese Catholic community is already looking forward to the day of his arrival,” the newspaper concluded.As for the non-Catholic press, the favorable response of the Buddhist community is noteworthy. In an analysis entitled “Pope Leo XIV and the Buddhist Community: A New Era of Interreligious Dialogue,” the Buddhist newspaper Phat u Vietnam reports on the benevolence of non-Christian religious communities, including Buddhists in Vietnam and other Asian countries. Although Pope Leo XIV has not yet disclosed his views on Buddhism, it notes that “his background and past actions reveal an open attitude toward interreligious dialogue.” Specifically, the article mentions his time as a missionary in Peru, where there is a small but thriving Buddhist community: thus, it is assumed that Pope Leo is “familiar with cultural and religious diversity.” Furthermore, Pope Leo XIV is already considered “close” to Buddhist teachings on active compassion (karuna) and the connection between humanity and creation. At a conference in 2024, cited by Vietnamese Buddhists, Cardinal Prevost called for a “reciprocal relationship” between humanity and the environment. This vision, he argued, reflects the Buddhist principle of “non-harm” (ahimsa) and “respect for life,” opening the way for joint projects with Buddhist organizations. Furthermore, it is noted that “the invitation in his inaugural address to ‘build bridges’ indicates his willingness to engage in such collaborations.”Father Peter Nguyen Thanh Tung, professor of church history, expressed his deep appreciation for Pope Leo XIV on behalf of the Church in Vietnam in an interview with the media channel of the Archdiocese of Ho Chi Minh City. “The successor of Saint Peter,” he said, “reminded us that the Church will remain forever steadfast because, as he and Jesus promised, ‘the gates of hell shall not prevail against her.’” “The Pope,” he continued, “chose the name Leo XIV in memory of Leo XIII, who came at a time when the world was confronted with social problems. Pope Leo XIII defended workers in a social context where capitalism exploited them. Pope Leo XIV wishes to continue the path of an open Church, a Church that protects and defends the poor and the weak, the workers, and upholds human dignity.” (PA/AD) (Agenzia Fides, 17/5/2025)

    Salt Lake City, Utah, May 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Introduction: Credit Score Woes in 2025 & The Rise of Credit Repair

    In today’s economic landscape, your credit score is more than just a number—it’s a financial passport. Whether you’re applying for a home loan, refinancing your car, or qualifying for a lower interest rate, your credit profile plays a pivotal role.

    As of 2025, more consumers are becoming aware of how deeply their credit scores influence everyday opportunities. Unfortunately, even responsible individuals can find themselves facing credit damage due to errors, identity fraud, late payments, or financial hardship. And once the score drops, bouncing back isn’t always straightforward.

    Tired of rejections? Fix your credit today—spots are filling fast!

    What Is Credit Repair? How It Works & Why It Matters

    Credit repair is a process where inaccurate, outdated, or unverifiable information is identified and challenged on your credit report. These negative items can unfairly lower your score, affecting your ability to access financial services, secure housing, or even pass certain background checks.
    The three major credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—each maintain their own version of your report. Mistakes are surprisingly common. Some of the most frequent issues include:

    • Duplicate accounts
    • Unfounded collections
    • Incorrect payment histories
    • Accounts belonging to someone else

    The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) allows consumers to dispute such entries. However, the process can be complex and time-consuming, especially for individuals unfamiliar with how bureaus operate.
    That’s where professional credit repair companies like The Credit People come in. They handle the process from start to finish—reviewing reports, drafting disputes, following up with credit agencies, and helping ensure that only accurate and fair data remains on your report.
    Beyond dispute handling, credit repair also includes guidance on improving credit behavior, monitoring changes, and protecting your identity from future damage. In a world where credit impacts nearly every financial move, the value of an expert-led credit strategy has never been more essential.

    I found out the bureaus made 3 mistakes on my report—guess who fixed it?

    How The Credit People Help Fix Your Credit – Step-by-Step Process

    The process of fixing credit with The Credit People is structured yet simple—designed for efficiency and transparency. Here’s how it unfolds:

    Step 1: Credit Report Access

    Once enrolled, The Credit People pulls your reports from all three major bureaus. They offer a free initial consultation and provide clients with full access to their credit profile via a secure online dashboard.

    Step 2: Analysis of Negative Items

    Their credit team carefully reviews all reports to identify any harmful, incorrect, or questionable items. These can include late payments, charge-offs, repossessions, medical bills, or accounts not belonging to the client.

    Step 3: Dispute Strategy

    For each problematic item, they draft customized dispute letters tailored to the legal guidelines of the FCRA. These letters are sent directly to the reporting bureaus and creditors, initiating the correction process.

    Step 4: Follow-Up and Escalation

    Each dispute is tracked, and follow-ups are made within the legal response window (typically 30–45 days). If a bureau or creditor fails to respond properly or leaves an error uncorrected, additional steps are taken.

    Step 5: Ongoing Monitoring

    Clients can log into their dashboard anytime to check score changes, see dispute status updates, and review new credit activity. The dashboard also includes helpful insights and credit education tailored to each user’s financial goals.
    This step-by-step process relieves clients from the confusion and frustration of managing disputes independently. And by focusing on both immediate fixes and long-term score growth, The Credit People help deliver more sustainable financial confidence.

    The Credit People vs. Other Credit Repair Services (Comparison)

    With several companies offering credit repair today, how does The Credit People stack up against popular competitors?

    The Credit People vs. Lexington Law

    Lexington Law uses a legal-based model with attorneys involved in dispute processing. While this can appeal to those facing complex issues, it often comes with higher monthly costs. The Credit People, on the other hand, uses a practical credit specialist approach—more affordable and equally effective for most standard cases.

    The Credit People vs. CreditRepair.com

    CreditRepair.com is known for a slick interface and heavy marketing, but users sometimes report slower communication and limited updates. The Credit People focuses more on results and clarity, with real-time progress tracking and fewer upsells.

    The Credit People vs. Sky Blue Credit

    Sky Blue is another flat-rate option, but it limits disputes to a fixed number per cycle. The Credit People offers unlimited disputes, making it better for users with multiple report errors or collections to address.

    The Credit People vs. The Credit Pros

    The Credit Pros emphasize mobile tools and AI-driven dashboards. While tech-savvy, they come at a higher cost. The Credit People provides similar outcomes with a more budget-conscious structure, ideal for users focused on value and transparency.
    With competitive pricing, unlimited disputes, and a track record of customer satisfaction, The Credit People holds its own—and often outperforms—in this crowded space.

    One setup fee. Unlimited disputes. Real results. Here’s the site

    How Fast Can You See Results? What to Expect

    Credit repair is a process that requires time and patience. With The Credit People, clients often begin to see initial changes within 30 to 60 days. However, the timeline for noticeable improvements can vary based on individual credit histories and the complexity of the issues being addressed.
    The company initiates the dispute process promptly after enrollment, targeting inaccuracies across all three major credit bureaus. While some clients experience score increases in the first few months, others may require a longer duration to achieve significant results. It’s important to understand that credit repair is not an overnight fix; consistent effort and adherence to recommended financial practices are key to long-term success.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Hawley Demands Insurance Companies ‘Make Policyholders Whole’ in Wake of Devastating Missouri Storms

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo)
    Today, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) sent a letter to the presidents and CEOs of State Farm, Nationwide, Liberty Mutual, Travelers, Allstate, and American Family Insurance among others in the wake of the devastating storms that hit Eastern Missouri on Friday. Senator Hawley called onthe companies to uphold their end of the insurance contract as policyholders work to rebuild. 
    “Your policyholders have paid you faithfully, often for years. Now is the time for you to honor the faith your customers placed in you. As Missourians work to rebuild and recover from these devastating storms, you must provide immediate and comprehensive assistance to my constituents as they navigate the claims process,”the Senator wrote. “It is my full expectation that you will honor your commitments, fully pay claimants, and do your part to help rebuild communities across Missouri.” 
    The storms come just days after Senator Hawley’s subcommittee hearing that exposed industry-wide corruption in the insurance industry that rips off those who have paid into insurance policies. The Senator has also launched a bipartisan investigation into the practice of subjecting policyholders to delays and underpayments.
    Read the full letter to the State Farm CEO here or below. 
    May 17, 2025Mr. Jon FarneyPresident and Chief Executive OfficerState Farm Mutual Dear Mr. Farney: On Friday, May 16, a series of severe storms swept across Eastern Missouri. As of Saturday morning, approximately 5,000 buildings were damaged and nearly 80,000 Missourians were without power. There have been seven confirmed fatalities. The scale of the damage is devastating. Records indicate that you currently provide significant property and casualty insurance coverage across Missouri. Victims of these severe storms will soon be seeking assistance. During this time of crisis for Missouri, I fully expect that your company will make policyholders whole. As you may be aware, as Chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Disaster Management, I have launched a bipartisan investigation into major insurance companies’ claims practices. Last week, the Subcommittee held a hearing that established an industry-wide practice of subjecting policyholders to substantial delay and underpayment. Even more alarming, the hearing revealed a practice whereby key findings in adjustment reports are altered or deleted by reviewers who have never seen the property to drive payouts to policyholders down. My investigation has revealed a pattern of this activity across the country and across disaster events. That is unacceptable and must change. Your policyholders have paid you faithfully, often for years. Now is the time for you to honor the faith your customers placed in you. As Missourians work to rebuild and recover from these devastating storms, you must provide immediate and comprehensive assistance to my constituents as they navigate the claims process. It is my full expectation that you will honor your commitments, fully pay claimants, and do your part to help rebuild communities across Missouri.
    Sincerely, Josh HawleyUnited States SenatorChairSubcommittee on Disaster Management

  • Mexican Navy tall ship crashes into Brooklyn Bridge, injuring 19

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    A Mexican Navy sailing ship festooned with lights and a giant flag crashed into the landmark Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday night, shearing the top of its masts and causing at least 19 injuries, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said.
     
    Videos online showed the training vessel Cuauhtémoc as it approached the iconic bridge over the East River, close to the Manhattan side of the span, which connects the borough with Brooklyn. Its 147-foot (45-m) masts were too tall to clear the arched bridge at that point and toppled when the vessel sailed underneath.
     
    Naval cadets dressed in white uniforms could be seen dangling from the ship’s crossbeams after the crash. Adams said there were 277 people aboard at the time.
     
    “No one fell into the water; they were all hurt inside the ship,” a police official said.
     
    The official said mechanical issues had probably caused the crash, without providing further details.
     
    At one of the suspension bridge’s bases, located near New York City’s South Street Seaport, online video showed bystanders running in terror as the massive vessel hit the bridge and veered toward the dock.
     
    The bridge, a popular tourist attraction and a main conduit between Manhattan and Brooklyn, was completed in 1883. It was once the largest suspension bridge in the world.
     
    The bridge sustained no major damage, New York City transportation official said. Traffic reopened in both directions after a preliminary inspection.
     
    Mexico’s foreign ministry said on social media that Mexico’s ambassador to the U.S. and other officials were assisting affected cadets and have been in contact with local authorities.
     
    The training ship Cuauhtémoc was built at the Celaya Shipyards in Bilbao, Spain in 1981, according to the South Street Seaport Museum, which said on its website that it was co-hosting the vessel’s visit to New York that was scheduled to conclude on Saturday evening. The public was invited to come aboard the ship during its visit.
     
    The ship was disembarking from New York and heading to Iceland, the New York police official said.

    The fire broke out at around 4am /10:00 GMT/ and spread quickly due to flammable materials such as acetone, solvents and paint in the house.

    Authorities identified two women, aged 64 and 28, and five children, aged between five and 15, as victims of the accident. Three others were burned and taken to local hospitals.

    Investigators believe that the possible cause of the fire was contact between a candle and flammable materials. Firefighters, police and ambulance crews arrived at the scene, the flames were successfully extinguished.

    Coahuila state authorities have called on residents to take extra safety precautions when using candles and storing hazardous materials at home. –0–

  • MIL-OSI China: Wang Chuqin romps into second round at table tennis worlds

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    China’s world No. 2 Wang Chuqin delivered a commanding performance, defeating American Nandan Naresh at the men’s singles first round of the world table tennis championships on Saturday night.

    Wang controlled the match effortlessly and left the 18-year-old opponent with limited opportunities to challenge him, winning the one-sided affair 11-6, 11-4, 11-2, 11-4.

    A service call was successfully challenged as Wang asked for video review on a serve which was ruled as illegally angled.

    “I have confidence in my serves,” said Wang, who is seeking his first world singles championship in Doha.

    Wang’s world fifth-ranked teammate, Liang Jingkun, also made it to the second round, after beating Ham Yu Song from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea 14-12, 11-6, 10-12, 11-3, 11-8.

    Xue Fei became China’s first casualty, as the only penholding player on the team squandered a two-set lead in a 4-2 loss to Japan’s Hiroto Shinozuka.

    The world’s most renowned penholder, world No. 6 Felix Lebrun of France, eased past Slovakia’s Lubomir Pistej in straight sets.

    Earlier, top-ranked Chinese woman Sun Yingsha cruised past No. 216 Veronika Matiunina of Ukraine in four sets.

    “My performance is normal,” said Sun, the defending world singles champion who has twice finished runner-up at the Olympics. “I didn’t know much about my opponent. But her serve is good, and her style is unique as an 18-year-old teenager.”

    Sun will next take on the winner between 262nd-ranked Costa Rican Lucia Zavaleta and No. 67 Pyong Song Gyong from DPRK, whose players are known for exceeding expectations.

    “My second round rival might be very strong. I will get myself prepared for a tough game,” she said.

    China’s world No. 3 Chen Xingtong also reached the second round, beating South African Rochica Sonday 4-0.

    Japanese Satsuki Odo and Mima Ito, ranked eighth and ninth respectively in the world, both advanced into the second round with straight-set victories.

    Sunday’s action will see China’s world No. 1 Lin Shidong, Brazil’s No. 3 and World Cup holder Hugo Calderano, and China’s No. 2 woman Wang Manyu make their singles appearance in Doha.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Wilson Post Office Dedicated in Honor of Milton F. Fitch, Sr.

    Source: US Congressman Don Davis (NC-01)

     

    WILSON, N.C. – Congressman Don Davis (NC-01) and the United States Postal Service hosted a dedication ceremony Saturday, May 17, at Wilson Community College to rename the Wilson Post Office in honor of Milton F. Fitch Sr., a World War II veteran, community leader and pioneering postal worker whose legacy helped transform eastern North Carolina.

    The renaming followed the passage of legislation sponsored by Congressman Don Davis and signed into law by former President Joe Biden on January 2, 2025. H.R. 6750, which secured the support of the entire North Carolina delegation, officially designated the federal facility at 501 Mercer Street Southwest in Wilson as the “Milton F. Fitch, Sr. Post Office Building.”

    “Milton F. Fitch, Sr. is a remarkable and key figure in eastern North Carolina’s history. He devoted his life to serving our country and community,” said Congressman Davis. “Renaming this post office honors a letter carrier who broke barriers, inspired others, and left a lasting impact on Wilson and North Carolina.” 

    Fitch’s history was deeply rooted in service to his country. He served in World War II and played a key role with the Red Ball Express, a massive truck convoy that delivered supplies to Allied troops. After returning home, he became a letter carrier in Wilson with the postal service, paving the way for future generations. 

    Beyond his postal career, Fitch dedicated his life to advocacy. As lead plaintiff in a lawsuit, he successfully compelled the City of Wilson to pave 23 miles of unpaved roads in African-American neighborhoods.

    “This naming of the Wilson Post Office is a recognition of Milton Fitch, Sr.’s service to our country during World War II and his groundbreaking advocacy for civil and voting rights during a very difficult moment of American history,” said former Congressman G.K. Butterfield. “Mr. Fitch was the letter carrier in the Wilson community during my childhood. We all loved and respected him. I extend my deep appreciation to Congressman Don Davis for his commitment to this naming and his stellar work in obtaining unanimous support from the entire North Carolina delegation.”

    Fitch also held leadership roles in numerous fraternal and community organizations, including the Prince Hall Masons, where he was elected Most Worshipful Grand Master in North Carolina.

    His wife, Cora Whitted Fitch, was also a passionate community leader, a dedicated educator, and was elected to the Board of County Commissioners. Together, they raised five children; Dr. Jerome Fitch, retired NC Superior Court Judge Milton “Toby” Fitch, Jr., the late Attorney Patricia Maria Fitch, Dr. Christine Fitch, and Dr. Ernestine Fitch, M.D., whom followed in their footsteps with careers in public service, education, and healthcare.

    “My family and I are very pleased and happy for my father to be recognized in this fashion,” said Milton F. “Toby” Fitch, Jr., son of Milton F. Fitch, Sr., retired NC Superior Court Judge, and former NC State Senator. “Words cannot express it. To us, recognizing him and having an institution such as the main Post Office in Wilson, where my father worked, means so much. We thank Congressman Don Davis for honoring my father this way.”

    Milton F. Fitch, Sr. passed on November 2, 1995. The dedication ceremony brought together elected officials, community members, and family to celebrate his life and legacy of service, leadership, and impact that will be forever embedded in the Wilson community.
