Tucker Carlson Tells off Zelensky; Is This Why Elon Musk Pulled Starlink in Ukraine?

By Daily Caller. Daily Caller co-founder and Fox News host Tucker Carlson told off Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on his show Thursday night.

Carlson began by criticizing members of the so-called “Squad,” including Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri, for expressing concerns about giving Ukraine money but still voting in favor of sending billions to the embattled nation.

Carlson then turned his attention to Zelensky, who he dubbed the “celebrity-endorsed dictator of the most corrupt nation in Europe.”

“Zelensky is now shaking down our cowardly Congress for more cash at the very moment our own economy, our own borders, are collapsing,” Carlson added. . .

“What? Some uppity foreigner in a t-shirt demanding money for his critical economic needs? We have critical economics too buddy. Who are you, troll? Go away. Since when does that guy have a claim on our treasury?” Carlson asked. “We don’t owe this guy anything, not one thing. Good luck, pal. That’s it. And as our economy degrades and our border is gone, that guy is lecturing us with some Christmas list, like ‘I want this, that and I want a bicycle too! Send it, quick!’ Really? Up yours, buddy.” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Tells off Zelensky” HERE)

Elon Musk Seems to Suggest He’s Pulling Starlink From Ukraine Because Ambassador Was Rude

By VT. Elon Musk has indicated that the Starlink satellite internet will no longer be provided to Ukraine because the ambassador cursed at him.

The news comes days after Ukrainian ambassador Andrij Melnyk slammed the 51-year-old SpaceX founder’s proposal that the Russian invasion of Ukraine could be ended by “re-doing elections under UN supervision” in regions annexed illegally by Russia, per CNN.

On October 14, Ukrainian newspaper Kyiv Post journalist Jason Jay Smart wrote on Twitter that Starlink had announced that it can “no longer afford to give Ukraine free service” and “asks the Pentagon to pay for it” because Melnyk told Musk to “f*** off”.

In response, the Tesla CEO wrote that he was “just following [the] recommendation” of the ambassador – seemingly suggesting the reason why he pulled out his satellite. (Read more from “Elon Musk Seems to Suggest He’s Pulling Starlink From Ukraine Because Ambassador Was Rude” HERE)

Russia to Hold Large-Scale Nuclear Weapons Exercise: A Drill or Real?

Russia is expected to hold large-scale exercises of its nuclear forces soon, leaving the West hard-pressed to spot whether Moscow is just carrying drills or an actual nuclear attack, according to a report.

Every year, Russia holds nuclear exercises around October. However, this year’s drills come just weeks after President Vladimir Putin threatened to use nuclear weapons “if the territorial integrity of our country is threatened.” His statement, coupled with the upcoming drills, have some Western officials worried as Russia continues to post losses in Ukraine.

“This is why you don’t want to have extraordinarily overheated rhetoric at the same time you’re going to do a nuclear exercise,” a Western official told Reuters. “Because then we do have an additional challenge to really be sure that the actions that we see, the things that are occurring, are actually an exercise and not something else.”

White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby vowed that the United States would monitor Russia’s so-called “Grom” drills, adding that they expect Moscow to include live missile launches during the exercise.

“While Russia probably believes this exercise will help it project power, particularly in light of recent events, we know that Russian nuclear units train extensively at this time of year, again, routine, and obviously, we’re going to continue to monitor that accordingly,” Kirby told reporters on Thursday.

Is the US Real Estate Industry Infiltrated and Being Used to Facilitate Chinese Espionage?

China’s global intelligence-gathering and subversive activities occur at multiple levels, but all of those activities have been facilitated by the massive Chinese migration to the United States and other Western nations, which began with the “Opening” of China under the Nixon Administration and accelerated thereafter.

According to the Migration Policy Institute, Chinese immigration to the United States increased nearly seven-fold since 1980, reaching almost 2.5 million in 2018, an unknown number of which remain loyal to the Chinese Communist Party.

Chinese espionage networks are often managed out of Chinese consulates in major U.S. cities, but those allegedly diplomatic facilities are insufficiently staffed to exploit the wide range of targets deemed essential by China’s state security apparatus.

There is a need, then, for non-official cover (NOC) Chinese intelligence agents, without diplomatic immunity, who are usually “sanitized” at intermediate locations outside or inside the U.S. before arriving at their target area of operation in the United States.

Chinese NOC intelligence networks consist of deep controller agents, perhaps “husband and wife” teams that monitor each other, as well as a host of facilitators within local Chinese communities, who otherwise appear to conduct normal lives as U.S. citizens, but are indispensable to the success of China’s intelligence-gathering and subversive activities.

Evidence indicates that the U.S. real estate industry is infiltrated by Chinese intelligence for the purpose of moving agents and money to support espionage activities, including the acquisition of residential properties near vital U.S. military installations, not just large land purchases which have been reported for U.S. Air Forces bases in Texas and North Dakota.

One such vital location, not amenable to large land purchases, is the Hawaiian Islands, home of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Headquarters and the naval base at Pearl Harbor.

The following image is the view from a residential property suspected of being purchased for its proximity to the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Headquarters and its unobstructed view above the Pearl Harbor naval base.

The real estate activities practiced by Chinese immigrants in Hawaii are often convoluted and complex, involving multiple companies, sometimes embedded in each other and connected to companies from other U.S. states or offshore entities, all of which are eventually linked back to China.

The following scheme was constructed from publicly-available sources illustrating the actual purchase of property like the one shown above. The names of the individuals involved and the companies they represent have been changed, but all the evidence from Hawaii indicates what appears to be an effort to hide the details of real estate transactions and the flow of money.


Acquisition by China of property strategically located near vital U.S. military installations provides an opportunity for surveillance and possible sabotage. Based on County of Oahu records, the property has also been purchased by newly-arrived Chinese within a half mile of Fort Shafter, the Headquarters of the United States Army Pacific and the 25th Infantry Division.

There may also be an attempt underway by China to create a critical mass of Chinese property owners in the Hawaiian Islands that are loyal to the Chinese Communist Party with the strategic goal of separating the islands from U.S. sovereignty.

The scenario described above is being repeated throughout the United States and represents a threat to our national security and, at a minimum, should be investigated more vigorously, especially by U.S. military commands that may be directly affected.

China, Russia Could Launch ‘Space Pearl Harbor’ on Aging US Satellites: Expert

The United States is not prepared for strategic space competition against a united China and Russia, according to one expert.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is nearing technological parity with the United States in key space domains, according to Brandon Weichert, an independent geopolitical analy
st. That means that it will soon threaten the United States’ ability to project power in space.

“You’re already seeing China being able to catch up to us in certain areas,” Weichert said during an Oct. 13 interview with NTD, a sister media outlet of the Epoch Times.

“They are still able to do things that we were not anticipating that they would be able to do, such as getting this new space station of theirs in orbit as quickly as they did and getting many of our key allies to sign on in support of the new China space station. And that’s just the beginning.”

Weichert said that the United States was not ready to face the combined aggression of the CCP and Vladimir Putin’s Russia simultaneously because the nation had failed to capitalize on its dominance in space following the end of the Cold War.

Empowering Mexican Cartels With Biden’s Open Border Is Even Worse Than You Think

Mexico is a war zone again. But anyone who believes that’s just Mexico’s problem, think again; American national interests are at unprecedented risk.

Cartels’ smuggling syndicates are at each other’s throats along Mexico’s northern border and in Pacific states known as the Tierra Caliente (Hot Zone) as Mexico sends in its military. The warfare has left hundreds dead and whole city blocks scorched, vehicles burning, and citizens taking shelter from hours-long gun-battles. Millions of Mexicans are readying for worse to come.

But so too should Americans. Because, unlike past drug war conflicts in Mexico, the paramilitary armies are swollen like never before with military-grade weaponry bought and paid for by millions of foreign nationals who answered the siren call of President Joe Biden’s open-doors border over the last 20 months, paying cartels huge amounts of money to cross into the United States. The cartels’ growing arsenals and Mount Everest-sized piles of new cash may inalterably compromise Mexico’s central and state governments like never before.

The very real prospect that America would lose even its current imperfect, wanting partnership with Mexico’s government portends serious security, public safety, and even wide-ranging economic impacts on the American people.

China Trashes Biden National Security Strategy as ‘Outdated’

China’s state-run Global Times did not think highly of the Biden administration’s latest National Security Strategy (NSS) document, hyperbolically claiming the entire world was immediately gripped by “a strong sense of unease and concern” because American national security will “come at the expense of the security of other countries.”

The Global Times accused the document of strengthening “the camp confrontation and binary opposition mindset that led to the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.” This seems like a cheeky observation coming from the state media of a brutal authoritarian regime that has yet to condemn Russia for invading Ukraine.

Most of the Global Times’ critique boiled down to the latest repetition of the Chinese Communist Party’s favorite geopolitical talking point: the U.S. allegedly adopting a “Cold War mentality” by treating China as a menace to be contained, as the Western world confronted the Soviet Union.

The Global Times lost its marbles when the NSS described China and Russia as “powers that layer authoritarian governance with a revisionist foreign policy,” combining a taste for “wars of aggression” with “actively undermining the democratic political processes of other countries, leveraging technology and supply chains for coercion and repression, and exporting an illiberal model of international order.”

That is a very accurate description of Chinese and Russian policy so, of course, the Chinese state editorialists did not like it one little bit, not even after the White House gave them a break by describing Russia as more of an “immediate threat to the free and open international system” and emphasizing “competition” with China over confrontation.

Actor Jon Voight: Democrats Have Damaged America by Reversing Trump Policies (VIDEO)

Jon Voight has ripped Democrat leaders for the damage they have inflicted on the country, saying they have reversed the accomplishments made by former President Donald Trump during his time in the White House.

The Oscar-winning actor also spoke about the decline of California and how the state has been severely mismanaged by Democrats.

In an interview with Newsmax host Rob Schmitt, Jon Voight said Democrats are intentionally un-doing the progress made under the Trump administration.

“We had President Trump,” Voight said. “Take a look at the problems when he came into office, and he solved them, one after another, because he’s a person who’s a doer and he’s a problem solver. And therefore you accomplished all those things. And now we have another person in office, and they’re systematically just eliminating all of the progress that he made, right? That’s their agenda.”

Yahoo! Finance: We Could Ease Diaper Shortage if Pregnancy Centers Would Quit Convincing Women to Keep Their Babies

Yahoo! Finance not only thinks that killing off babies in the womb is a solution for diaper poverty in the U.S. but also says Americans’ nappy woes should be blamed on pregnancy centers.

With the headline “America is facing a diaper crisis, and the anti-abortion movement is making it worse,” the article’s author, Senior Editor Sandra Salathe, alleges that “Roughly one-third of U.S. families are unable to afford diapers necessary to keep their babies dry and clean.”

Salathe neglects to mention that diaper prices, among other baby items such as formula, have been severely impacted by climbing inflation and the ongoing supply chain crisis under President Joe Biden. Instead, she says that pregnancy centers are somehow responsible for the “physical,” “mental,” and “economic” stress that families endure trying to keep their babies diapered.

“The coronavirus pandemic has played a heavy role in this crisis, and as households seek help from nonprofit organizations, anti-abortion centers (AACs) may be misrepresenting the extent of their services,” Salathe writes.

Using information fed to her by the leftist, pro-abortion activist group Equity Forward, Salathe amplifies claims that Heartbeat International, a Christian network of pro-life resource organizations, and the more than 3,000 lifesaving pregnancy centers in the U.S. are using their donations and public funding to pay for the upkeep of their services instead of helping vulnerable members of their community.

Detransitioners Call School Board Meeting to Caution Against Transgender Ideology (VIDEO)

Three detransitioned young adults called in to a California school board meeting, using their personal experiences with “gender affirming care” to object to the district’s adoption of policies that support transgender ideology.

On Tuesday, Chloe Cole, Abel Garcia, and Cat Cattinson phoned into the Conejo Valley Unified School District’s (CVUSD) Board of Education meeting during their public comments session to voice their dissent about the ideology that caused to them to believe they were transgender and pursue medical transition. Although they were only allowed two minutes to speak due to time constraints, each was met with roaring applause from the audience in attendance.

“I’m calling because I’m concerned about the messaging directed at kids by the school surrounding gender identity ideology,” said Cat Cattinson, a 30-year-old molecular biologist and detransitioned woman who believed she was a boy after being introduced to gender ideology at 13 years old. “I began identifying as the opposite sex, a man, and [that belief] negatively affected me for the next fifteen years,” said Cattinson.

Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) in Southern California has drawn media attention in recent months for their adoption of policies that reinforce the belief that whether someone is a man, boy, woman, or girl has nothing to do with one’s biology, but instead is determined by one’s subjective and undefinable “gender identity.” Parents have taken to school board meetings to voice their frustrations, some of which have gone viral on social media.

“Puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries are irreversible,” said Cattinson. “By affirming a child’s cross-sex identification, they are encouraged to reject their biological sex, seeking drugs and surgeries that destroy the function of healthy body parts. I think that instead, we need to tell kids they don’t need to change themselves to be themselves.” (Read more from “Detransitioners Call School Board Meeting to Caution Against Transgender Ideology” HERE)

Why Are Liberal Women So Unhappy?

Times are tough out there for liberals, especially women. According to the 2022 American Family Survey, no demographic is unhappier and less satisfied with their mental health than liberal women.

Over 30% of conservative men and women said they were “completely satisfied” with their lives, compared to just 20% of liberal men and 15% of liberal women. The gap between liberals and conservatives was even wider on mental health. Over 35% of conservative men and women said they were completely satisfied with their mental health, compared to, again, just 20% of liberal men and 15% of liberal women.

Looking to explain why liberal women are so unhappy, National Marriage Project Director Brad Wilcox notes that no demographic is happier with their family life than conservative women. Over 60% of conservative women say they are completely satisfied with their family life, compared to 50% of conservative men and just 35% of liberal women.
