Experts Confirm China Has Committed ‘Every Act’ in Definition of Genocide

/0 Comments/in , /by

A report published this week by the independent think tank Newlines Institute for Strategy and Policy, in which dozens of experts participated, concluded China is indisputably guilty of genocide against the Uyghur people of western Xinjiang.

The Chinese Communist Party has for decades persecuted the Uyghur minority of Xinjiang, a Turkic, Muslim-majority group. Persecution led the way to what multiple international observers, including the administrations of both Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden, have labeled genocide under current dictator Xi Jinping. Xi’s regime has implemented a pervasive concentration camp system in Xinjiang, building at least 1,200 concentration camps in the region where as many as 3 million Uyghur people — and other minorities such as Kazakh and Kyrgyz people — have been forced to live.

The few survivors of the concentration camps who have chosen to speak out testify to being subject to brutal torture in the camps, including systematic rape, and communist indoctrination. Evidence indicates Beijing has also enslaved much of the Uyghur population and forced them to travel nationwide for arduous agricultural and industrial labor.

The Newlines report looks specifically at the legal definition of genocide, a crime under international law, and analyzes the mounting evidence of human rights atrocities in Xinjiang through the lens of this crime. Genocide is defined by the 1948 Genocide Convention. To find a state or other entity guilty of genocide, the accused party must be found guilty of at least one of several acts listed in the convention:

(a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Lisa Murkowski Could Move the Puerto Rico Statehood Bill Forward

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last year, while most Americans were focusing on the contentious presidential election, there was another critical election that could have an outsized influence on American politics for years to come.

The vote on the island asked Puerto Ricans whether they supported statehood for the island — the third such status vote in less than 10 years. Once again, the majority of Puerto Rican voters, 52.34 percent, supported statehood. It is now incumbent upon Congress to take action.

In addition to Puerto Rico’s representative Jenniffer Gonzalez-Colon in the House of Representatives and others, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), the former chairwoman and current senior member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, has an opportunity to play a crucial role.

The Energy and Natural Resources Committee has jurisdiction over issues surrounding Puerto Rico’s status. The committee would be the first step for relevant legislation in the Senate. This is one direct tie for Sen. Murkowski. A less direct tie is that the senator was born in Alaska at a time when it was still a territory, which may help her understand this issue better than most.

Dictator Joe: Biden to Sign Executive Orders on ‘Gender Equality’ While Not Calling for Cuomo’s Resignation

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. President Biden will sign two executive orders on Monday advancing “gender equality” in conjunction with International Women’s Day — amid days of tepid White House responses to the sexual harassment scandal surrounding New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

The 46th commander-in-chief will sign two orders from the White House in the late afternoon.

The first will establish the White House Gender Policy Council, a four-member panel initially created under President Barac Obama under a different name but disbanded under former President Donald Trump, aimed at addressing “gender in policies, programs and budgets” on a “government-wide” scale.

More specifically, the council will be tasked with combating systemic bias and discrimination, as well as sexual harassment and violence both domestically and worldwide.

The second order, according to the White House, will direct the Department of Education to review the Title IX regulation issued under Trump-era Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. (Read more from “Biden to Sign Executive Orders on ‘Gender Equality’ While Not Calling for Cuomo’s Resignation” HERE)

Dictator Joe Biden

By Washington Examiner. As recently as October, now-President Joe Biden said to legislate by executive order was the role of a dictator, and he promised he would govern in a bipartisan manner to get the votes he needed to enact his policies, because America is a Democracy, and we need consensus. . .

Less than two months in office and President Biden will have signed 37 executive actions as of today. That’s more than the 32 his inferred “dictator” predecessor Donald J. Trump signed in his first 100 days. It’s 18 more than his old boss Barack Obama, 26 more than former President George W. Bush and two dozen more than former President Bill Clinton all in their first 100 days. President Biden hasn’t even met that benchmark yet and has given no indication his administration is even considering slowing down.

Although President Biden campaigned on building consensus and unity, his executive orders are either partisan, liberal handouts or are meant to erase successful Trump-era policies, especially when it comes to immigration and energy. Little to none would garner the votes they needed to pass a divided Congress. . .

Today, President Biden will sign two executive orders, one establishing a Gender Policy Council at the White House (largely symbolic) and another aimed at reviewing Trump-era Title IX funding, specifically for how schools handle sexual assault and harassment charges.

Biden’s Eyes ‘Are Now Dead’: Source Says President Kamala Is Imminent

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon believes America should prepare for a transition to a President Harris.

Bannon was speaking with the author of the book “Biden Unauthorized,” Mike McCormick, on his “War Room” video podcast, reported Conservative Brief.

Bannon pointed to a photo of Biden on the cover of McCormick’s book that was taken some years ago, showing a glint in the eyes of the longtime senator and former vice president.

His “eyes are now dead,” Bannon said of Biden, noting Harris has a much greater role than previous vice presidents, including meeting with foreign leaders.

“Kamala Harris is printed up in playbooks, always there for these meetings,” Bannon said. “Pence was never that. That’s not the role of the vice president.” (Read more from “Biden’s Eyes ‘Are Now Dead’: Source Says President Kamala Is Imminent” HERE)

Air Traffic Controller Warns Face Masks Posing Serious Flight Safety Risks

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Air travel is potentially becoming more dangerous due to face masks impeding communications between pilots and air traffic control specialists (ATCS).

Journalist and author Alex Berenson published excerpts from a verified whistleblower’s email explaining that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has implemented stricter rules about masking in air traffic control towers and how it is severely hampering critical transmissions.

The whistleblower says after approximately a year of flexible mask policies, guidance was updated a month ago, with controllers told to “wear them at all times while at work, in position, etc. unless you have an office and are in there by yourself.”

. . .“It has created an issue where we get a lot more read-back errors from pilots on instructions because they can’t hear us clearly over the radio,” the ATCS explains. “Our instructions are almost always time or safety critical, sometimes down to seconds.”

“Worst case scenario is a pilot thinks we say something, reads it back wrong, and it results in disaster if we can’t correct them before we lose them on radios.”

Press Corps Ushered Away After Asking Biden Questions — Again

/0 Comments/in , /by

Aides to President Biden hurried the traveling press corps away as they shouted questions at an unresponsive commander-in-chief in Washington Tuesday — his 48th day in office without holding a solo press conference.

The incident occurred toward the end of a visit by Biden to W.S. Jenks & Son, a hardware store in the nation’s capital that benefited from his temporary extension for smaller businesses of the Paycheck Protection Program.

After quietly watching Biden interact with store owners and employees for about 10 minutes, reporters began shouting a series of questions at him to no avail.

Immediately after, handlers for the 46th president began yelling back assertively, “Come on, press, you gotta go,” as the entire gaggle of reporters was quickly removed from the scene.

Biden, who was standing about 15 to 20 feet away from the press pool, did not flinch or answer a single one of the myriad shouted questions, including one on the burgeoning immigration crisis at the southern border.

Trump Rails Against Biden’s Border Crisis

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump railed President Joe Biden’s Democratic-engineered crisis at the border in a statement Tuesday.

“When I was President, our Southern border was in great shape – stronger, safer, and more secure than ever before. We ended Catch-and-Release, shut down asylum fraud, and crippled the vicious smugglers, drug dealers, and human traffickers,” Trump said. “The wall, despite horrendous Democrat delays, would have easily been finished by now, and is working magnificently. Our country is being destroyed at the Southern border, a terrible thing to see!”

After a Year of Lockdowns, the Labor Market Is ‘Worse Than Predicted’

/0 Comments/in , /by

On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, Sean Higgins, a research fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute specializing in labor and employment issues, joins Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky to talk about what the labor market looks like after a year of government-mandated lockdowns.

“I think the impact is going to be worse than predicted,” Higgins said. “There’s still a lot of stuff we haven’t dealt with like the enormous amount of debt the federal government has racked up in terms of paying out relief to people that hasn’t been reckoned with.”

“The move towards automation which is going to cut off some jobs that some people simply had to do … mental health issues that haven’t been gotten the time to be properly treated for people being stuck at home or forced to do things other than they would,” Higgins continued. “The time, the amount of education which will be lost.” (Read more from “After a Year of Lockdowns, the Labor Market Is ‘Worse Than Predicted’” HERE)

Twitter Sues Texas AG to Halt Probe of Its Ban on Trump, Conservatives

/1 Comment/in , /by

Twitter is suing the attorney general of Texas for investigating the social-media company, claiming its censorship of conservatives is protected by the First Amendment.

Twitter permanently banned the account of President Trump and other conservative voices after the riot at the U.S. Capitol in January.

Paxton then announced an investigation into Twitter and four other Big Tech companies for what he called “the seemingly coordinated de-platforming of the President.”

Fox Business reported Twitter is claiming that Paxton is retaliating against the company for banning Trump’s account.

Paxton is seeking a variety of information from the companies such as their content moderation policies and internal communications. (Read more from “Twitter Sues Texas AG to Halt Probe of Its Ban on Trump, Conservatives” HERE)
