Destroying American Democracy – An Inside Job

Over the last few years, there has been much written about the destruction of American democracy. Frequently the threat has been of alleged interference in U.S. elections by Russia, China or other state actors. Government agencies, the name of election integrity, were assigned to identify and disrupt these foreign intrusions. As more and more information is revealed about these agencies, it seems that America’s Intelligence Community participated in these activities domestically, and in a way that poses a grave threat to both election integrity and American democracy.

When Woke Sensitivity on ‘Islamophobia’ Surpasses That of Muslims

Mohammed Nagged by Transvestite Boyfriend

At one Minnesota university, administrators fired a professor for showing a painting of Mohammed that many Muslims are fine with.

In the past two decades, the world has seen various controversies over visual depictions of the prophet of Islam. They include the 2005 “cartoon crisis” in Denmark, where caricatures of Mohammad led to death threats and widespread violent protests, or the Charlie Hebdo affair in France, where similar cartoons published by the magazine in 2012 were followed by terrorist attacks that left twelve dead.

With F.B.I. Search, U.S. Escalates Global Fight Over Chinese Police Outposts

Beijing says the outposts aren’t doing police work, but Chinese state media reports say they “collect intelligence” and solve crimes far outside their jurisdiction.

The nondescript, six-story office building on a busy street in New York’s Chinatown lists several mundane businesses on its lobby directory, including an engineering company, an acupuncturist and an accounting firm.

A more remarkable enterprise, on the third floor, is unlisted: a Chinese outpost suspected of conducting police operations without jurisdiction or diplomatic approval — one of more than 100 such outfits around the world that are unnerving diplomats and intelligence agents.

John Ivison: Biden has changed the playbook on clean technology and Canada risks losing out

OTTAWA — In the press conference that wrapped up the North American leaders’ summit in Mexico, Justin Trudeau was asked about the future of the semiconductor industry.

Canada has a significant role to play in semiconductors, he said. “What exactly that role is, is still, somewhat, to be determined.”

Residents of Ana Walshe-managed DC building fear phony agents coverup

WASHINGTON — Residents of a Washington, DC, apartment building managed by missing executive Ana Walshe tell The Post that they believe her company, Tishman Speyer, has been hiding information about phony federal agents who were busted after infiltrating the Secret Service last year — and recently admitted to “voyeurism” in the building as well.

The tenants association of the Crossing building in the Navy Yard neighborhood near the Capitol says they fear that Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali, who pleaded guilty in August to crimes including secretly filming women in at least one of the building’s units, will avoid a public airing of their actions and that the company is withholding details from them.

Is There a Legal Remedy for George Santos’ Lies?

Congressman George Santos has lived a life of lies. He has lied about his early life, his academic record, his business experience, his wealth, his heritage, his personal life and his criminal record. He is fortunate that the vast majority of these lies have not been under oath. Nor have they defamed specific individuals. Unless he has lied on government forms, it is unlikely that he can be successfully prosecuted or civilly sued. His victims are primarily the voters who cast ballots for a person who was very different from who they believed him to be.

Appeals Court Rules Against Vaccine Mandates in Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee

The Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Cincinnati on Thursday affirmed a lower court’s ruling that the vaccine mandate for federal contract workers is unconstitutional.

The majority opinion stated that a broad interpretation of the mandate could provide the president “nearly unlimited authority to introduce requirements into federal contracts.”

FBI Counterintelligence Raided Chinese Police Station in New York: Report

The FBI raided a Chinese police station in Manhattan last year, seizing documents from the facility in a criminal investigation into China’s overseas presence in the U.S., the New York Times reported today.

The paper revealed that the search took place last year, at a Chinatown facility scrutinized for its alleged role as a branch of the security bureau of the city of Fuzhou, citing people knowledgeable of the probe. The FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn — which the Times reported was involved in the raid — declined to comment for the Times story.

Michigan’s Muslim-majority city council approves animal sacrifice for cult rituals

Muslim Brotherhood Blasphemy Cops on a Minnesota Campus

A Latina art teacher, a Shiite painting of Mohammed, and tolerance theocracy.

The decision by Hamline University to purge a minority art teacher for showing a Shiite painting of Mohammed has traveled from the outskirts of a few blogs, and a student paper of the small private college in St. Paul, to art sites, a PEN condemnation and finally the New York Times.

MIT video game teaches players how to stop a white woman from harassing a Muslim

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have yet to achieve cold fusion, but they have poured their time and money into creating a video game about racism on an airplane.

With real racism being so rare these days, it’s no wonder that it had to be manufactured.

CYBER ATTACK OR INCOMPETENCE? Flights Grounded but at Least They Use the Proper Pronouns

Flights are grounded all across the USA… but why? Everybody knows the proximate cause, but is there a deeper rot at the FAA and our Department of Transportation?

You bet!

“How could the FAA leave all US domestic flights grounded for the first time since the 9/11 terror attacks?” is the obvious question, after Wednesday’s hot mess at the FAA. Under Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, a better question might be, “Yes, but were flights grounded with diversity, equity, and inclusion?”

Seems an odd coincidence.

1938 Come Again: America Must Embrace Naval Rearmament

When the year 1938 is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is the Munich Conference, which has become the prime example of appeasement. Adolf Hitler claimed he was protecting ethnic Germans in Czechoslovak’s Sudetenland border area just as Vladimir Putin claims he is protecting ethnic Russians in Ukraine’s Donetsk region. Both aggressors seized these disputed lands when the Great Powers refused to defend the smaller states. Hitler then moved to take the rest of Czechoslovak in 1939 without a fight, and then later in the year invaded Poland. Unlike the Czechs, the Ukrainians have fought the invasion. Their valiant actions and Russian military failures changed the strategic landscape. The United States and NATO have sent arms of increasing sophistication to the Ukrainians to keep up their defense and deter any expansion of the war into Poland or other countries. History is taking a different, hopefully, better course.

A fifth of Americans approve of the Jan 6 Capitol takeover

The proportion is more than double that of two years ago

Just as America marks its two-year Jan 6 anniversary (and as Brazil makes sense of its own imitation on Jan 8th), a new poll has found that 20% of Americans now approve of the Capitol takeover. This marks an 11% increase from two years ago, when just 9% said they strongly or somewhat approved of the takeover.

That 20% of Americans — equivalent to one-fifth of the country — show some degree of approval for the Jan 6 takeover is an increase of last year’s finding (14%) and the year of the event, when it was only 9% approval.

With each new revelation of FBI, White House, Covid, Media and Twitter misdeeds who can blame them?
