Major Conflict With China ‘Is Coming,’ Outgoing Strategic Command Chief Warns

/0 Comments/in , /by

China is increasing its nuclear forces more rapidly than American analysts anticipated, according to the outgoing commander of the Pentagon’s Strategic Command, who warns that Beijing is in the midst of a “breakout” buildup of forces.

Adm. Charles Richard, who has headed the Strategic Command, or STRATCOM, since 2019, said the Chinese nuclear expansion is a near-term problem that requires action by the United States.

“As I assess our level of deterrence against China, the ship is slowly sinking,” Adm. Richard warned in a speech during the Naval Submarine League’s 2022 Annual Symposium & Industry Update.

“It is sinking slowly, but it is sinking, as fundamentally they are putting capability in the field faster than we are,” he said in the remarks on Wednesday. (Read more from “Major Conflict With China ‘Is Coming,’ Outgoing Strategic Command Chief Warns” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Georgia Senate election between Sen. Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker is officially heading to a runoff for Dec. 6, said the Georgia Secretary of State’s office on Wednesday.

Neither Warnock, a Democrat, nor Walker, a Republican, gained more than 50 percent of the vote. Election data showed that Warnock had a slight lead over Walker.

Warnock had 49.4 percent of the vote as compared to Walker’s 48.5 percent, while Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver got 2.1 percent. Some 35,000 votes separated the Republican and Democrat candidates.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said in a news conference Wednesday said that his office started the “behind-the-scenes ballots” and “counties are making preparations” for the runoff.

He said that voters can request absentee ballots from Wednesday, Nov. 9, until Nov. 28, adding that about 150,00 voters will automatically receive an absentee ballot because they are on a “rollover list.” Most of these individuals are disabled or over the age of 65, Raffensperger said.

Gas Crisis Wipes $100 Billion off German Economy

/0 Comments/in , /by

The ongoing gas crisis has resulted in the German economy losing over $100 billion, a report from a major economics institute has claimed.

A paper published by the Ifo Institute for Economic Research, one of Germany’s largest financial think tanks, has claimed that the country has ultimately lost over $100 billion as a result of the ongoing energy crisis.

Coming about as a result of Germany becoming overreliant on Russian gas while pushing its green agenda, many within the general public are now experiencing serious financial hardship, even cutting down on Christmas celebrations just to scrape by.

According to the research published by the Ifo Institute on Tuesday, this year’s losses as a result of the gas crisis will amount to just under 2 per cent of the total economic output of Germany, or around €64 billion (~$64 billion).

Joe Biden: Threats of Hunter Biden Investigations From Republicans ‘Almost Comedy’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden dismissed upcoming investigations by House Republicans on Wednesday when they ultimately take control of the House of Representatives as expected.

“Lots of luck in your senior year as my coach used to say,” Biden scoffed when asked about investigations into his administration and his family.

The president spoke about looming investigations during a press conference at the White House regarding the results of the midterm elections. . .

Biden referred to reports that Trump was asking Republicans how many times they planned to impeach him.

“I mean, I think the American people will look at all that for what it is – it’s almost comedy,” he said. (Read more from “Joe Biden: Threats of Hunter Biden Investigations From Republicans ‘Almost Comedy’” HERE)

Video Captures ‘Illegal Electioneering’ for Fetterman, Shapiro in Philadelphia (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Project Veritas journalists at a Philadelphia polling station Tuesday captured hidden-camera footage described by the group’s founder as evidence of illegal electioneering for Democratic candidates John Fetterman and Josh Shapiro.

Fetterman narrowly defeated Republican Mehmet Oz, and Shapiro won by double-digits over Republican Doug Mastriano.

The undercover video shows a “committee person,” identified by Project Veritas as Rudy Stewart, presenting papers to the undercover journalist titled “Official Democratic City Committee Ballot” for the 2022 general election in Philadelphia County.

Stewart is heard telling voters: “Anyone need Democratic Party information?”

Later, he points to the name of Fetterman’s Republican opponent, Oz, in a list of candidates pinned to the wall and says, “We’re scared of him.”

California, Vermont Approve Limitless Abortion Measures

/0 Comments/in , /by

Limitless abortion measures were overwhelmingly approved Tuesday in California and Vermont, paving the way to enshrine so-called reproductive rights for women into both state constitutions next year.

In the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade earlier this year, the decision to codify abortion went back to the states.

“The biggest battleground and the most significant war that’s taking place in this nation is the demonic murder of children in the womb, and California is leading the way,” Calvary Chapel Chino Hills Pastor Jack Hibbs told The Epoch Times.

So far, approximately 3.5 million California voters have favored Proposition 1, which changes the California Constitution to say that the state cannot deny or interfere with a person’s so-called reproductive freedom and that people have the fundamental right to choose to have an abortion and use contraceptives.

Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, who signed 15 abortion-related bills this year with a $200 million state budget included, contributed $3.4 million from his re-election campaign on the measure. (Read more from “California, Vermont Approve Limitless Abortion Measures” HERE)

Dead Man Reelected in Pennsylvania

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Pennsylvania man who died earlier this year was reelected to his position as a state representative.

Democrat Tony DeLuca, the longest-running Pennsylvania state representative, at 39 years, died last month at 85 of lymphoma, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Because of his recent death, election authorities were unable to change the ballots, and many voters chose him over Green Party challenger Queonia “Zarah” Livingston, marked by a sizable lead. A special election will be held to choose a proper candidate to take his seat.

“While we’re incredibly saddened by the loss of Representative Tony DeLuca, we are proud to see the voters to continue to show their confidence in him and his commitment to Democratic values by re-electing him posthumously. A special election will follow soon,” Pennsylvania House Democrats said in a tweet.

Ukraine War: Biden Says Russia Pulling Out of ‘Fallujah’ in Latest Brutal Gaffe

/0 Comments/in , /by

In an ugly Freudian slip Wednesday, President Biden accidentally said Russian troops were pulling out of “Fallujah” while intending to reference the city of Kherson in southeastern Ukraine.

Biden’s latest gaffe came after Russian forces leader Sergey Surovikinon announced he’d ordered his troops to retreat from one of the only major cities Russia captured after its Feb. 24 invasion.

“I think the context is that whether or not they’re pulling back from Fallujah – from the city of Kherson – and [Russian forces] are coming back across the river to the eastern side of the [Dnieper} river,” Biden said while answering a reporter’s question about whether Ukraine is ready to enter negotiations with Russia.

In November and December of 2004, Fallujah was the setting of the bloodiest urban conflict American forces had fought since the Vietnam War and is widely remembered as a key moment in the US invasion of Iraq.

Approximately 12,000 US troops fought in the battle, 82 of whom were killed, while about another 600 were wounded, according to the Pentagon. The US killed about 2,000 insurgents in the battle and captured another 1,200, military officials estimated.

Guess What’s Causing Delayed Results in Nevada?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The race between Republican Adam Laxalt and Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan is razor thin as votes in Nevada continue to be counted.

But according to the New York Times, a new batch of mail-in votes will delay final counts.

“Overwhelmed election officials in Nevada say that they have been flooded by thousands of mail-in ballots, and that it may take several days to count the votes and upload results. Last year, the state began requiring that mail-in ballots be sent to every registered voter. While ballots must be postmarked by Election Day, they can be counted if they arrive as late as Saturday,” the New York Times reports. “Elections officials have emphasized the need for patience and have not offered predictions on how quickly they will be able to offer tallies. Jamie Rodriguez, the interim registrar of voters in Washoe County, said she was expecting roughly 16,000 mail-in ballots to arrive on Election Day. She said that those votes would not be counted until Thursday because poll workers were so behind.” (Read more from “Guess What’s Causing Delayed Results in Nevada?” HERE)
