Ilhan Omar accuses ‘Looney Tunes’ Republicans of using her as a scapegoat by calling her anti-Semitic to distract from calls to fire QAnon Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene – and says ‘it’s because I’m a black Muslim woman’

Chasing the Dragon
On his first full day in office, President Joe Biden signed a massive executive order that, among other things, killed the Keystone XL pipeline project. Buried in that same order were two short sentences that will allow the Chinese government to get into the American electrical grid.
Located at Section 7(c), the order reverses a previous directive by the Trump administration last May, which found that “foreign adversaries are increasingly creating and exploiting vulnerabilities in the United States bulk-power system, which provides the electricity that supports our national defense, vital emergency services, critical infrastructure, economy, and way of life.”
Alarming: Democrats Introduce Bill Calling For Mandatory License For All Guns, Universal Gun Database, Banning Ownership Of Guns By Anyone Younger Than 21
The law also bans anyone from owning a firearm if they have “conduct that endangers self or others,” without explaining what such conduct entails*. This could potentially mean universally banning weapons ownership to someone who is a member of a political party if the government deems that political party to be a terrorist group, whether this is true or not.
Is Russia targeting CIA spies with secret weapons?
Marc Polymeropoulos woke up in his hotel room with his head spinning and ears ringing. “I felt like I was going to vomit. I couldn’t stand up. I was falling over,” he recalls. “I have been shot at numerous times and this was the most terrifying experience in my life.”
Polymeropoulos had spent years in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan as a senior officer of the CIA fighting America’s war on terrorism. But that night in Moscow he believes he was targeted by a secret, microwave weapon.

Militarized Capitol Police Use Fences And Razor Wire To Keep Preschoolers From Sledding
In prior times, children who wanted to enjoy the wintry weather would flock to the west front of the U.S. Capitol Building, whose gentle slopes make for some of the best sledding or snow tubing in greater Washington. The event has become so commonplace that four years ago the Architect of the Capitol (the real “AOC”) published guidance and tips for anyone wishing to partake in this winter tradition.
China Has Stolen The Personal Data Of 80% Of American Adults: Report
Bill Evanina, former director of the U.S. National Counterintelligence and Security Center, on Sunday appeared on CBS’ 60 Minutes when he warned that Beijing is attempting to collect and exploit Americans’ health care information, including their DNA.
Soft on Crime
A Biden administration policy of weak policing and lax prosecution would be a disaster for the nation’s cities.
Criminal justice in America is at a crossroads. The ongoing debate about racial justice in policing, incarceration, and prosecution became a national fixation following the May 2020 death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis. Since then, it has remained a flash point in our politics.
The election of Democrat Joe Biden, whose party is aligned with Black Lives Matter, who called Antifa “an idea,” and who cites “systemic racism” as the major problem facing black Americans, will make the next four years challenging for proponents of effective policing. This challenge will be felt not only by those on the thinning blue line but also by those living in deteriorating urban enclaves that saw homicides and shootings spike in the second half of last year.
Report: Americans Have Spent $161.5 Million Housing Suspected Terrorists At Guantanamo Bay
Taxpayers have reportedly paid an estimated $161.5 million to house Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, keeping him alive so that he can stand trial, according to Fox News.
The sheer cost of housing, feeding, and treating the Guantanamo Bay detainees makes it, the outlet reports, the “most expensive prison on earth.”
China Doesn’t Have to Lift a Finger to Push Biden Around
The Biden administration has just endorsed one of China’s most vicious attack lines against the United States.
The new administration’s actions look as if they are setting a pattern for its responses to Beijing on the disease and other matters.
On January 26, Biden signed his executive order titled “Memorandum Condemning and Combating Racism, Xenophobia, and Intolerance Against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States.”
Foreign troops to stay in Afghanistan beyond May deadline – NATO sources
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – International troops plan to stay in Afghanistan beyond the May deadline envisaged by the insurgent Taliban’s deal with the United States, four senior NATO officials said, a move that could escalate tensions with the Taliban demanding full withdrawal.
“There will be no full withdrawal by allies by April-end,” one of the officials told Reuters.
“Conditions have not been met,” he said on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. “And with the new U.S. administration, there will be tweaks in the policy, the sense of hasty withdrawal which was prevalent will be addressed and we could see a much more calculated exit strategy.”
Did anyone vote to stay in Afghanistan? Why are NATO sources leaking Biden policy?
Iran Regime’s Agents and Illegal Activities in the US
The US is apparently not immune from the Iranian regime’s operatives; unfortunately, the significance of this issue has long been downplayed.
Last week, Kaveh Lotfolah Afrasiabi, also known as Lotfolah Kaveh Afrasiabi, was arrested at his home in Watertown, Massachusetts. According to the U.S. Justice Department, Afrasiabi is charged with “acting and conspiring to act as an unregistered agent of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA)”.
What is alarming is that Afrasiabi, who has been in the US for almost 35 years, was working for the Iranian regime and getting paid for nearly 13 years without being detected.
Blue State Blues: 9 Signs That Joe Biden Is a Third World Leader
President Joe Biden told Americans in his Inaugural Address last week: “We have learned again that democracy is precious. Democracy is fragile. And at this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed.” But one would be forgiven for thinking otherwise, given the Biden administration’s behavior on taking office.

The ongoing insurrection against MAGA America
When Uncle Sam threatens some blighted and benighted region of the world – ostensibly on behalf of the American People and for their own good – our representatives call it peace through strength.
It is then that ordinary Americans are encouraged to pipe up in praise of the State’s invariably Orwellian peace-through-strength strategies.
But what about peace through strength on our front porches, while being menaced by lowbrow looters and assorted louts? For that you can be incarcerated in the land where the criminal roams free.
Acting Capitol Police chief wants ‘Green Zone’ fencing around Congress to be PERMANENT and to keep ‘back-up forces’ on standby – two days after she admitted her agency bungled response to MAGA riots
Acting Chief Yogananda D Pittman made the recommendation in a statement on Thursday regarding her department’s efforts to ‘harden’ security around the Capitol to prevent another insurrection in the future.
They are becoming more afraid. Good.
