Taliban Tells Russia It Controls 85% Of Afghanistan, Seeks Peace With Moscow

/0 Comments/in , /by

A delegation of the Taliban terror group met with representatives of the Russian foreign ministry in Moscow, where one delegate claimed the Taliban currently controls about “85 percent of Afghanistan’s territory,” Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported Friday.

The Taliban, a jihadist terror group based in Afghanistan, controls roughly “85 percent of Afghanistan’s territory,” Taliban delegate Shahabuddin Delawar told reporters, as quoted by AFP.

Members of the Taliban delegation specifically claimed to hold sway over “about 250 of Afghanistan’s nearly 400 districts,” according to AFP. The French news agency noted the Taliban’s assertion was “impossible to independently verify and disputed by the government,” referring to Afghanistan’s internationally recognized government based in Kabul.

Taliban terrorists have allegedly “captured the [Afghan] border town of Islam Qala on the Iranian frontier and the Torghundi crossing with Turkmenistan,” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told AFP on July 8.

A delegation of Taliban representatives landed in Moscow on Thursday to “assure” Russia the group would not “allow” any other jihadist organizations to use Afghanistan as a base for their operations.

Even Democrats Believe COVID-19 Originated In Wuhan Lab

/0 Comments/in , /by

A majority of people, now including a slim majority of Democrats too, believe the coronavirus most likely originated in a Wuhan laboratory rather than from nature, a new poll shows, indicating a shift in public opinion since early in the pandemic as China continues to block a truly independent and thorough inquiry into COVID-19’s origins.

The new poll from Harvard University and Politico found that 52% of people in the United States, including 59% of Republicans and 52% of Democrats, believe the coronavirus emerged from a Wuhan lab, while just 28% of adults say COVID-19 began with an infected animal.

“Usually, our polls find a big split between Republicans and Democrats, so this is unique,” Bob Blendon, a professor at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health who designed the poll, told Politico. “More conservative media have been carrying the ‘lab leak’ issue, and it’s been a Trump talking point from the beginning, so we expected people who lean Democratic would say either ‘It’s not true’ or ‘I don’t know.’ But the belief is bipartisan.”

The new poll, which surveyed 1,009 adults in late June and has a margin of error of 3.8 percentage points, will be released next week. It also reportedly found that “almost two-thirds of Democrats and Republicans” called the issue of investigating COVID-19’s origin either “extremely” or “very” important.

Blendon suggested: “That the president thought there was enough evidence to ask intelligence agencies to put together a report sends a signal to Democrats that there might be something there.” (Read more from “Even Democrats Believe COVID-19 Originated In Wuhan Lab” HERE)

Biden HHS: ‘It’s Absolutely Our Business’ to Know Who’s Vaccinated; Biden Begs Americans to Get Vaccinated

/1 Comment/in , /by

By Washington Examiner. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra argued that the federal government is entitled to know who in the United States has been vaccinated, responding to anger from GOP House members who say the Biden administration is infringing on personal liberty.

“Perhaps we should point out that the federal government has had to spend trillions of dollars to try to keep Americans alive during this pandemic, so it is absolutely the government’s business. It is taxpayers’ business if we have to continue to spend money to try to keep people from contracting COVID and helping reopen the economy,” Becerra said on CNN Thursday.

Becerra rejected arguments from the Right that the Biden administration is trying to override the public’s freedom to choose not to be vaccinated. His remarks come just days after President Joe Biden announced that his administration would shift its focus from getting as many people vaccinated as possible to dealing with persistent vaccine hesitancy in certain parts of the country with exceptionally low vaccination rates, primarily in states in the South and the Midwest. Biden had pledged to “go to community by community … and oftentimes door to door, literally knocking on doors,” eliciting anger from Republicans.

“Please Get Vaccinated”: Biden Delivers Remarks on COVID-19 Response

By Yahoo News. President Biden delivered remarks on Tuesday on his administration’s ongoing response to the coronavirus pandemic, making a personal appeal for Americans to get vaccinated after the country fell short of his goal of 70% of American adults receiving at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine by July 4.

“The best thing you can do to protect yourself, and your family, and the people you care about the most, is get vaccinated,” Mr. Biden said. “Please get vaccinated.”

The president announced that more than 182 million Americans have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. He also said that by the end of the week, 160 million Americans will have received both doses.

The president urged Americans to get vaccinated, particularly because it is effective against the Delta variant of the virus, which he said is “more easily transmissible” and “potentially more dangerous.”

“If you’re vaccinated, you’re protected. If you’re unvaccinated, you’re not,” Mr. Biden, reiterating that getting vaccinated “is a patriotic thing to do.” (Read more from “Please Get Vaccinated”: Biden Delivers Remarks on COVID-19 Response” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The uncle of an infant who was shot in the head in Chicago said Thursday that “it feels like no one cares” as President Biden and Chicago Mayor Lightfoot attempt to tackle a massive increase in murders and shootings up over 2019.

During an appearance on “America’s Newsroom,” Charles McKenzie, a Chicago community activist, said that although he would like to see the president and the city’s mayor take action and create policies to curb the crime spike, his community cannot wait. . .

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A California mother and father subdued and duct-taped a registered sex offender who they caught standing in their 5-year-old daughter’s bedroom early Tuesday after he broke in through a window, authorities said.

The parents caught a man, who deputies later identified as 39-year-old registered sex offender Daniel Diaz, prowling outside their home in Grayson around 5 a.m., FOX40 Sacramento reported, citing the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office. . .

“He was in the living room window trying to peek in and he was grabbing his private parts and just looking around,” the girl’s mother Martha Zepeda told WLTX-TV in Spanish through a translator.

But the father lost sight of the man as he walked around the outside of the house, according to the family, until they heard a loud noise come from their 5-year-old daughter’s bedroom. . .

The father rushed the man and forced him outside, where he wrestled him to the ground, authorities said. He and his wife restrained him using duct tape as they waited for officers to arrive.

Biden Assistant Linked To Chinese Think-Tank FBI Called a Cover for Chinese Spies

/0 Comments/in , /by

Thomas S. Zimmerman, President Joe Biden’s special assistant for national security personnel, previously served as a visiting scholar for a Chinese think-tank that the FBI has warned Chinese spies have used as a front to conceal their identities.

The National Pulse first identified Zimmerman’s connections to the Chinese think tank, the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences (SASS) on Tuesday, after the Biden White House released its annual report to Congress on White House personnel last week. The report lists Zimmerman as the special assistant for national security personnel and his annual salary is also listed at $110,000 per year. . .

The National Pulse pointed out the SASS Chinese think tank’s involvement in recruiting at least one former CIA officer, Kevin Patrick Mallory. The former CIA officer was charged with transmitting “Top Secret and Secret documents to an agent of the People’s Republic of China.” In 2019, Mallory was convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison for giving up that classified information.

In a 2017 press statement announcing the espionage charges against Mallory, the U.S. Department of Justice wrote the former CIA officer traveled to Shanghai in March and April of 2017 to meet with an individual, referred to as PRC1, “who [Mallory] believed was working for the People’s Republic of China Intelligence Service (PRCIS).”

“During a voluntary interview with FBI agents on May 24, Mallory stated that PRC1 represented himself as working for a People’s Republic of China think tank, the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences (SASS),” the DOJ statement reads. “Since at least 2014, the FBI has assessed that Chinese intelligence officers have used SASS affiliation as cover identities.” (Read more from “Biden Assistant Linked To Chinese Think-Tank FBI Called a Cover for Chinese Spies” HERE)

Leftist Activist Compares Criticism of CRT to KKK, Segregation

/1 Comment/in , /by

Author Ibram X. Kendi compared criticism of critical race theory (CRT) to the KKK and pushback against the integration of schools during a Wednesday conversation with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).

Kendi said that it is necessary to talk about racism in the same way that it is vital to treat cancer – if the uncomfortable subject is not talked about, then we will never heal. He also compared teaching about racism to teaching about the Holocaust when asked at what age children should be taught about racism, according to an article about the event by the AFT.

Kendi said that teachers educate children about the Holocaust in age-appropriate ways beginning when they are very young in order to prevent it from happening again, and the same approach should be used when teaching about slavery.

The author and activist then discussed critical race theory, the idea that America is fundamentally racist, and teaches people to view every social interaction and person in terms of race. Its adherents pursue “antiracism” through the end of merit, objective truth and the adoption of race-based policies.

University Accused of ‘Callous’ Experiments on Aborted Babies, Harvesting Genitals

/1 Comment/in , /by

Pro-life activist organizations have accused the University of California, San Francisco, of engaging in “callous” experiments on aborted fetuses and possibly allowing babies that survive an abortion to die.

The anti-abortion advocacy group Live Action reported Saturday that the group Pro-Life San Francisco obtained twodocuments via the California Public Records Act related to how UCSF is conducting research on viable human fetuses. The pro-life group accused UCSF and partner institutions of engaging in “callous abortion harvesting operations.”

“On June 14th and June 25th 2021, Pro-Life San Francisco received documents from the University of California, San Francisco,” Pro-Life San Francisco’s website reports. “Requested under the California Public Records Act, these records shed light on the aborted fetal tissue research projects taking place within the university.”

Live Action’s Bettina di Fiore notes that “fetal body parts are being harvested under the UCSF umbrella from babies aborted at the two UCSF-affiliated Women’s Options Center locations.” She added that studies have shown that labor induction abortion techniques used in those facilities can often result in live births.

Pro-Life San Francisco made requests for documents related to protocols and procedures in place at UCSF for “determining the viability of a neonate after labor induction abortion procedures including … in instances where the neonate is born alive after the procedure is performed.” (Read more from “University Accused of ‘Callous’ Experiments on Aborted Babies, Harvesting Genitals” HERE)
