Foundational American Ally Approves Chinese Super-Embassy In Capital

/0 Comments/in , /by

The UK’s Labour Party-controlled government has approved plans for China to build a sprawling new embassy complex in central London, despite warnings from lawmakers, security officials, and Chinese dissidents who say the project poses serious national security risks.

British Housing Secretary Steve Reed formally signed off Tuesday on the 600,000-square-foot complex at Royal Mint Court, near the Tower of London and the city’s financial district. The approval comes just days before Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to visit China — the first by a British prime minister since 2018 — to boost diplomatic and economic ties with Beijing.

Critics have long warned that the embassy could be used for intelligence gathering or to monitor and intimidate Chinese nationals and dissidents living in the UK.

“Labour’s greenlighting of the Chinese Embassy has gifted the Chinese Communist Party a launchpad for economic warfare in the heart of London,” Alicia Kearns, the shadow minister for national security and safeguarding for the opposition Conservative Party, wrote on X following the decision. “What message does it send to the CPC which has committed cyber attacks, attempted to attack our parliament, and intimidates those who sought refuge here?”

China purchased the site in 2018 for roughly £255 million. The historic property, once used to mint Britain’s currency, faced repeated delays and legal challenges. Local authorities initially rejected the embassy plans in 2022 over safety and security concerns, prompting Beijing to pressure the UK government.

NY Times Not Too Happy Over New Acronym For Liberal White Women

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new acronym for liberal white women is gaining traction online, and the New York Times does not appear to be happy about it.

The paper published a lengthy piece Friday about the acronym AWFUL, which stands for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal. Conservative commentators have used the term to describe liberal women protesting immigration enforcement in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of activist Renee Good by an ICE agent on January 7.

The NY Times even contacted the Department of Homeland Security about its growing popularity.

DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin was unmoved. “I’m more concerned with facts on the ground than I am about acronyms,” McLaughlin told the paper.

The NY Times reported that conservative commentator Erik Erickson posted on social media that “an AWFUL (Affluent White Female Urban Liberal) is dead after running her car into an ICE agent who opened fire on her.” Orlando radio host Pierce Outlaw called such women “the scourge of polite society.” (Read more from “NY Times Not Too Happy Over New Acronym For Liberal White Women” HERE)

Pentagon Reportedly Activates 1,500 Troops For Potential Deployment Amid ICE Protests

/17 Comments/in , /by

The Pentagon reportedly ordered roughly 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for possible deployment to Minnesota as protests against federal immigration enforcement continue in Minneapolis.

Two U.S. defense officials told Reuters the Army placed two infantry battalions from the Alaska-based 11th Airborne Division on standby. The troops specialize in cold-weather operations. Officials said the soldiers would deploy if violence in the state worsens, though it remains unclear whether any will actually be sent.

The White House said in a statement to The Washington Post that it is typical for the Pentagon “to be prepared for any decision the President may or may not make.” Defense officials characterized the move as “prudent planning,” the Post reported.

Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell addressed the preparations in an emailed statement to the Associated Press (AP). He did not deny the orders were issued.

“The Department of War is always prepared to execute the orders of the Commander-in-Chief if called upon,” Parnell said. (Read more from “Pentagon Reportedly Activates 1,500 Troops For Potential Deployment Amid ICE Protests” HERE)

Iran Accused of Killing 16,500 in Sweeping ‘Genocide’ Crackdown, Report Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iranian protesters are facing their deadliest days yet as security forces unleash mass killings and executions in a sweeping crackdown some have labeled “genocide,” new reports say.

According to The Sunday Times, a report compiled by doctors entrenched in the region and reviewed by the outlet, estimates that security forces have killed at least 16,500 protesters and injured more than 330,000 others.

The report also described the violence as an “utter slaughter,” warning that the true toll may be even higher due to restricted access to hospitals and the near-total shutdown of communications.

Most of the victims, the report says, are believed to be under the age of 30, underscoring the heavy toll on Iran’s younger generation as the regime intensifies its efforts to crush dissent.

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei acknowledged Sunday that “several thousands” have been killed since protests erupted Dec. 28. (Read more from “Iran Accused of Killing 16,500 in Sweeping ‘Genocide’ Crackdown, Report Says” HERE)

Don Lemon Defends Protesters Who Stormed Minneapolis Church Service Believing Pastor Was ‘ICE-Affiliated’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former CNN host Don Lemon defended left-wing rioters who disrupted an evangelical church service Sunday believing a pastor was connected to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during a livestream broadcast.

Riots in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area are occurring as opposition to ICE’s enforcement operations was intensified after an ICE agent ambushed by three illegal immigrants wounded one of them Wednesday. The incident follows another ICE agent fatally shooting Renee Nicole Good during a Jan. 17 “targeted” immigration enforcement operation. Lemon broadcast footage of the protest, including his arrival at Cities Church in Minneapolis, about 40 minutes into a six-and-a-half-hour livestream.

“Everybody has to be willing to sacrifice something to save democracy,” Lemon posted Sunday on TikTok in a caption for a video showing his arrival in Minneapolis.

During the livestream, Lemon described the protest — which disrupted the church service — as protesters chanting “Justice for Renee Good.”

Video recorded on a cell phone by the ICE agent who fired the fatal shots showed Good appearing to ignore commands from other ICE agents to exit her vehicle before she backed up her car and looked at the agent. She then allegedly accelerated towards the agent, after her girlfriend shouted, “Drive, baby, drive!” (Read more from “Don Lemon Defends Protesters Who Stormed Minneapolis Church Service Believing Pastor Was ‘ICE-Affiliated’” HERE)

ICE Agent Slams Protester During Search for Alleged Child Sex Offender: ‘That’s Who You’re Protecting’

/0 Comments/in , /by

An ICE agent in the Twin Cities slammed an agitator following his car and honking for impeding feds’ reported operation to nab a child sex offender.

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer behind the wheel of a pick-up truck rolled up alongside a reporter who was observing the altercation from their parked car in St. Paul, Minnesota on Sunday, according to a video shared on X.

“We’re here to arrest a child sex offender. And you guys are out here honking,” the masked agent said.

“We’re not honking, we’re press,” the journalist recording the video responded.

The officer paused as he leaned out the window a little further and jabbed a finger towards the vehicle further down the street. (Read more from “ICE Agent Slams Protester During Search for Alleged Child Sex Offender: ‘That’s Who You’re Protecting’” HERE)

Trump Knifes Sen. Bill Cassidy by Unexpectedly Backing Potential Primary Foe

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump preemptively endorsed a potential GOP primary foe of incumbent Sen. Bill Cassidy, a trained gastroenterologist who has been apprehensive about some of the administration’s vaccine and medical policies.

The president encouraged Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.) to jump into the race for Senate, hailing the mother of two as a “TOTAL WINNER” and “wonderful person.”

“I am hearing that Julia is considering launching her Campaign for the United States Senate in Louisiana, a place I love and WON BIG, six times,” Trump posted on Truth Social Saturday.

“Should she decide to enter this Race, Julia Letlow has my Complete and Total Endorsement. RUN, JULIA, RUN!!!”

Cassidy (R-La.) launched his reelection bid last year and affirmed his commitment to running Saturday despite the president’s stamp of approval for Letlow. (Read more from “Trump Knifes Sen. Bill Cassidy by Unexpectedly Backing Potential Primary Foe” HERE)

Conservative Influencer Robbed of Pricey Camera, Dragged by Alleged Robber’s Car in Minneapolis Confrontation: Video

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Minneapolis protester allegedly stole a pricey camera from conservative provocateur Nick Sortor — who chased down the suspected thief and was dragged by her car as it swerved onto the sidewalk, according to shocking video.

In a post shared on X, Sortor said the woman was part of a group that followed him and his crew around the Twin City all day — until one of them boldly snatched his camera out of his hand while he was driving down the street.

“What did she just do?” one of his companions asked as Sortor’s car came to an abrupt stop.

“She f–king…” Sortor started to say before he lunged out of his car and started chasing the suspect, who he later accused of stealing his $1,000 camera.

The two appear to get into a tussle in the street that’s largely obscured by Sortor’s car, according to the clip posted to X.

By the time the person filming follows after Sortor, the suspect is driving off — with the right-wing influencer hot on her trail as he clings to the driver’s side door handle.

Trump Announces Tariffs on Denmark and Seven Other European Nations over Opposition to Acquiring Greenland

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ramping up the pressure in the diplomatic feud over the future control of Greenland, U.S. President Donald Trump announced Saturday that he will impose a 10 per cent tariff on eight European nations for their opposition to America acquiring the territory.

Casting Greenland as essential to American national security and international stability, President Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that “world peace is at stake”, warning that “China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it.”

Quipping that Copenhagen only has “two dogsleds” to protect its arctic territory, which it has controlled since the 18th century, Mr Trump argued that only the United States under his leadership has the capability to protect the island and to fend off major geopolitical foes.

“We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back,” he wrote.

In addition to putting diplomatic pressure on the Danes, the President also announced that he would be imposing tariffs on all goods from Denmark and their European allies, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, all of whom have committed to deploying military forces to Greenland in solidarity with Denmark.

‘Manchurian Generation’ Ballot Flood: More than 1 Million Chinese With U.S. Citizenship Could Vote in 2030 Elections

/0 Comments/in , /by

More than one million Chinese with U.S. citizenship who grew up in communist China will soon start voting in American elections, #1 New York Times bestselling investigative journalist and Breitbart News Senior Contributor Peter Schweizer reveals in his new book, The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon.

In his explosive new book, Schweizer details how Chinese elites have exploited America’s birthright citizenship policies by engaging in a practice known as birth tourism, whereby Chinese mothers intentionally travel to the United States give birth on American soil so that their newborn children will automatically be granted U.S. citizenship.

One of birth tourism’s biggest appeals is the chain migration that it triggers. “When such children turn twenty-one, they can also apply for resident status for both of their parents,” Schweizer explains. To demonstrate the extent of the practice, he uses the U.S. territory of Saipan in the Pacific as an example, writing that “[m]ore than 70 percent of the newborns in Saipan are PRC birth tourist parents who utilize the territory’s forty-five-day visa-free visitation rules and the ‘Covenant of the Northern Mariana Islands’ to guarantee that their children will have American citizenship.”

Because the U.S. federal government does not directly track birth tourism, no one knows the true extent of the practice, Schweizer writes:

Chinese officials estimate that the number is a staggering fifty thousand of their own citizens per year. Scholars who have studied the subject in depth, like Australian-based professor Salvator Babones, put the figure even higher, perhaps twice that. “With up to 100,000 Chinese babies being born US citizens every year,” he writes, “birth tourism may result in millions of new elite Chinese-Americans.”
