Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis edged out former President Donald Trump as conservatives’ choice for president in 2024 in a straw poll conducted over the weekend — as Fox News host Tucker Carlson announced that he is not considering a run for the White House.
DeSantis pulled in 74 percent approval to Trump’s 71 percent in the poll conducted at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver.
Joe Biden entered the Oval Office with no mandate of any kind. The Senate is deadlocked. Democrats in the House hold a razor-thin majority. Joe himself is widely considered by many Americans to be an illegitimate President who took power based on widespread electoral fraud.
Under these circumstances one might normally anticipate four years of standing pat, playing it safe and steering toward the middle. These, however, are not normal times. Biden’s administration is under the control of zealots and insurrectionists bent on transforming America and making revolutionary change. What you have seen to date, radical as it has been, has been only the beginning.
US Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-D) had some harsh words for the Trudeau government when he learned the Canada-US will remain closed for another month.
On Friday, Public Safety Minister Bill Blair announced the border closure for non-essential travel would be extended until at least July 21. The border has been closed since March 16, 2020.
Higgins, who represents the border cities of Buffalo and Niagara Falls, took to Twitter to say the decision is harmful and disrespectful to residents of both countries.
“There’s no other way to say: another month’s delay is bulls–t,” tweeted the congressman.
We already knew that a man with a high-level position in the Chinese Communist Party had defected to America. We also knew that the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) refused to let the other intelligence agencies in on the secret because it was immediately apparent that our government is riddled with Chinese spies, agents, true believers, and people on the payroll. Now, though, we know who the spy is and the broad outlines of the information he provided — and it’s a lot worse than you thought.
Since the Biden administration assumed office, it has been increasingly appeasing the Iranian regime, which in return, is further emboldening and empowering the mullahs.
The first appeasement came when the administration changed the previous administration’s policy of maximum pressure to a policy of appeasement toward the Iran’s proxy militia group, the Houthis. Even as evidence — including a report by the United Nations — showed that the Iranian regime is delivering sophisticated weapons to the Houthi militia group in Yemen, the Biden administration suspended some of the sanctions against terrorism that the previous administration imposed on the Houthis. The previous US administration had designated Iran’s proxies, the Houthis, a terrorist group.
The Chinese spy who was reported earlier on Becker News to be in the hands of the Defense Intelligence Agency and kept hidden from the FBI is reportedly high-ranking Chinese counter-intelligence official Dong Jingwei.
So the head of Chinese counter intel efforts in America has defected to USA. He’s in the hands of DIA right now. His name is Dong Jingwei.
He’s provided DIA with the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
He has confirmed that a THIRD of all Chinese students in US are spies.

This Twitter thread has a lot of information.
House Democrats voted against an amendment Wednesday that would have required companies to inform their shareholders if they engaged in activities with a Chinese official or company using forced labor.
More than 200 American rabbis sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday, condemning her for her failure to reprimand Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and calling on her to remove Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
‘We reiterate that the mob attacks on American Jews today are directly attributable to the rhetoric of Rep. Omar and those who stand with her within and beyond Congress,’ the letter, obtained by Fox News, read.
‘To protect Jewish Americans and, moreover, safeguard the integrity of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, we thus insist upon the removal of Rep. Omar from her appointment,’ the rabbis, members of the Coalition of Jewish Values, wrote.
Officials with Texas’ power grid operator pleaded with residents Monday to limit their electrical usage amid soaring temperatures and a series of mechanical problems at power plants.
The appeal, from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, comes four months after deadly blackouts during a winter storm left millions of people without power — and weeks after state legislators passed a package of measures aimed at fixing some of the problems exposed by the storm.
Chinese thinking appears to closely mirror longstanding approaches used by U.S. developers to build and improve 5th-Generation aircraft such as the F-22 and F-35. Beyond that, emerging concepts for a Chinese 6th-generation stealth fighter correspond very closely to U.S. approaches now underway for years.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has launched the latest political hit job on a Canadian pipeline. Whitmer is targeting Enbridge’s Line 5, which runs from Alberta through the Great Lakes region to refineries and chemical plants in Sarnia, Ont.
The Sarnia terminus sells to companies that make products that fuel cars, trucks, vans, ships and airplanes throughout Ontario, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Famed North Korean defector Yeonmi Park offered a chilling account of her time at Columbia University, saying that not even North Korea went to the level of brainwashing that she witnessed.
… President Joe Biden and Secretary of Antony Blinken reversed course, however, and sought to prioritize smooth relations with Berlin. On May 19, 2021, Blinken announced that the United States would wave sanctions on Nord Stream 2 AG, its chief executive officer Matthias Warnig, and its corporate officers even though Blinken insisted the U.S. opposition to the Russian-backed pipeline was “unwavering.” Blinken explained the logical dissonance of the move as an effort to fulfill “the President’s pledge to rebuild relationships with our allies and partners in Europe.”
The logic behind this calculation, however, is tenuous. Put aside the irony that Biden and Blinken have now promoted pipelines for the Taliban and Russia while killing those from which the United States could benefit. If climate change were truly the “greatest threat to America” as Biden told U.S. troops during his visit to Europe, then he would increase his opposition to Nord Stream 2, not green light its completion.
