Pentagon, Energy Dept. Nuclear Research Projects Tapped Sanctioned Chinese Communist Party Supercomputers

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Energy (DOE) have funded more than 100 research projects using Chinese government supercomputers sanctioned by the U.S. for collaborating with China’s military, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found.

The DCNF compared federally-funded research project reports against entities sanctioned by the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC). The DCNF identified 102 projects, primarily conducted through U.S. national labs, involving at least one of five sanctioned Chinese supercomputer centers in Beijing, Changsha, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Tianjin.

While it’s unclear what information may have been shared with the sanctioned supercomputers, intelligence analysts and lawmakers say the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is committed to weaponizing research with dual civilian and military applications.

“It is unacceptable that federally-funded researchers continue to use Chinese supercomputing centers that have been blacklisted for supporting China’s military buildup,” Michigan Republican Rep. John Moolenaar, chairman of the House Select Committee on the CCP, told the DCNF. “These systems have been instrumental in China’s hypersonic missile research, nuclear weapons development, and other strategic capabilities that directly threaten U.S. national security. The use of these centers by American researchers poses serious risks of U.S. technology transfer and cyber exploitation.”

Additionally, some research projects included China-based co-authors belonging to other sanctioned institutes serving the Chinese military, such as universities subordinate to China’s Central Military Commission.

Transgender Runner Blows Out Competition, Sets Season Records in Girls’ Races at High School Track Meet

/0 Comments/in , /by

The same Oregon high school that came under fire last year for allowing a transgender athlete to compete against girls continues to blow away the competition one year later.

Ada Gallagher, running as a 10th-grader at McDaniel High School in Portland, finished in first place in 200M and 400M races during the 6A-1 Portland Interscholastic League Championship in 2024.

Now an 11th-grader, Gallagher was back on the track for a Portland Interscholastic League meet at her home track, where she was spotted blowing out the competition, especially in the 400M, where she finished more than seven seconds better than the rest of the field.

Gallagher finished at 57.62 in the 400M, with Franklin High School’s Kinnaly Souphanthong coming in second at 1:05.72.

Gallagher’s teammate, Quinnan Schaefer, was behind Souphanthong at 1:07.13.

Then, in the 200M race, Gallagher finished in first place at 25.76, followed by teammate Addyson Skyles at 27.31. (Read more from “Transgender Runner Blows Out Competition, Sets Season Records in Girls’ Races at High School Track Meet” HERE)

Kansas Archbishop Alleges Satanic Group Stole Sacred Wine and Wafers for Upcoming Statehouse ‘Black Mass’

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .A Kansas bishop claims a group of Satanists stole sacred wafers and wine to use in a “Black Mass” they’re holding at the state capitol — but the unholy hell-raisers claim their body and blood of Christ merely came from “Pope Amazon.”

Kansas City Catholic Archbishop Joseph Naumann sued Satanic Grotto leaders Travis Roberts and Michael Stewart in Leavenworth District Court Friday, accusing them of using “theft, fraud, deception, wrongful taking, or other form of misappropriation” to obtain the holy host and wine.

“Consecrated Hosts and Wine are in fact the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ,” Naumann’s filing read, explaining that such sacred objects could only ever fall into Satanists’ hands through devilish design.

But the lord of darkness had nothing to do with it, according to Satanist Stewart, who told the Kansas City Star that his sacred snacks “came from Pope Amazon” — meaning he bought them online.

Stewart also brushed aside virulent reactions that his group’s plans for the March 28 Black Mass — a sort of inverted Catholic service he described as “a cathartic expression of sorrow, rage, and healing” — have inflamed.

The Judicial Insurrection Is Worse Than You Think

/0 Comments/in , /by

At this point it’s not too much to say that the federal judiciary has plunged us into a constitutional crisis. The fusillade of injunctions and temporary restraining orders issued by district court judges in recent weeks against the Trump administration — on everything from foreign aid to immigration enforcement to Defense Department enlistment policy to climate change grants for Citibank — boggles the mind.

More nationwide injunctions and restraining orders have been issued against Trump in the past month that were issued against the Biden administration in four years. On Wednesday alone, four different federal judges ordered Elon Musk to reinstate USAID workers (something he and DOGE have no authority to do), ordered President Trump to disclose sensitive operational details about the deportation flights of alleged terrorists, ordered the Department of Defense to admit individuals suffering from gender dysphoria to the military, and ordered the Department of Education to issue $600 million in DEI grants to schools.

On one level, what all this amounts to is an attempted takeover of the Executive Branch by the Judicial Branch — a judicial coup d’état. These judges are usurping President Trump’s valid exercise of his Executive Branch powers through sheer judicial fiat — a raw assertion of power by one branch of the federal government against another.

But on another, deeper level, this is an attempt by the judiciary to prevent the duly elected president from reclaiming control of the Executive Branch from the federal bureaucracy — the deep state, which has long functioned as an unelected and unaccountable fourth branch of the government. This unconstitutional fourth branch has always been controlled by Democrats and leftist ideologues who, under the guise of being nonpartisan experts neutrally administering the functions of government, have effectively supplanted the political branches. Unfortunately, to large extent the political branches have acquiesced in the usurpation of their authority.

Trump, with a strong mandate from the American electorate, has resolved to wrest control of the government from the deep state. The deep state in turn has been forced to fall back on its last line of defense: the courts. (Read more from “The Judicial Insurrection Is Worse Than You Think” HERE)

Diabetes Risk Lowered by Eating One Surprisingly Sweet Food, Study Suggests

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Mangoes may be linked to lower insulin resistance, a factor involved in the prevention of diabetes, a new study published in the journal Nutrients suggests.

Researchers at the Illinois Institute of Technology examined how eating fresh mangoes affected inflammation and insulin sensitivity in overweight and obese adults with low-grade chronic inflammation, as reported by SWNS.

Then they compared this to consuming the same calorie content of Italian ice, a frozen, sweetened dessert similar to sorbet.

The study included 48 individuals between the ages of 20 and 60.

Other than eating the allotted amount of mango (two pre-portioned cups a day), the participants were instructed to maintain their normal diet and lifestyle. (Read more from “Diabetes Risk Lowered by Eating One Surprisingly Sweet Food, Study Suggests” HERE)

Trump Admin Cuts off Water to Mexico Over Failure to Comply With 1944 Treaty

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration has nailed Mexico over the country’s failure to comply with a water treaty made in 1944, according to Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

Cruz has been demanding that Mexico meet its water supply obligations, but it took the Trump administration to finally take action to protect the rights of farmers near the Rio Grande.

A statement from the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs on Thursday said that the U.S. was responding to Mexico’s failure to comply by cutting off water to Tijuana, a city bordering California.

“Mexico’s continued shortfalls in its water deliveries under the 1944 water-sharing treaty are decimating American agriculture — particularly farmers in the Rio Grande valley,” the bureau said. “As a result, today for the first time, the U.S. will deny Mexico’s non-treaty request for a special delivery channel for Colorado River water to be delivered to Tijuana.”

Cruz applauded the decision in a statement on social media.

“Excellent. As I said yesterday, this option is absolutely what the Trump administration needs to pressure Mexico to fulfill its obligations under the 1944 Water Treaty,” he replied. (Read more from “Trump Admin Cuts off Water to Mexico Over Failure to Comply With 1944 Treaty” HERE)

Report: Judge Who Blocked Trump Deportations Played Key Role in Russia Collusion Hoax; and was a Member of Skull and Bones While at Yale

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Obama-appointed federal judge who ruled against President Donald Trump’s deportations of suspected Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang members played a key role in the failed Russia-Trump collusion accusations while presiding over the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court.

Chief Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has started a legal battle against the Trump administration by moving to block and return deportation flights of illegal aliens affiliated with the violent Venezuelan gang last Saturday, Breitbart News reported.

A Thursday report by investigative journalist Jerry Dunleavy on Thursday detailed how deeply entrenched the judge was in the “Russiagate” conspiracy theory that the FBI used in its attempted takedown of Trump during his first term as president:

As the head of the FISA Court, Boasberg “made a number of divisive decisions, including a slap on the wrist for a member of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane team, the appointment of officials who had defended the FBI’s actions during the Russiagate saga, the renewal of the FBI’s FISA powers, and more,” Dunleavy wrote for Just the News.

Despite writing that “the frequency and seriousness” of the errors found by the DOJ watchdog related to the Russia investigation “called into question the reliability of the information proffered in other FBI applications,” Boasberg signed off on the renewal of overreaching surveillance powers for U.S. spy agencies in November 2020.

Trump Sends Clear Message to Supreme Court as Federal Judges Block Agenda

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump on Thursday called on the Supreme Court to reverse injunctions placed on his administration’s efforts to carry out mass deportations and other moves to downsize the scope of government.

In a lengthy post on his Truth Social platform, Trump took aim at “Radical Left Judges” for imposing injunctions on some of his most controversial moves, such as deporting Venezuelan gang members.

“Unlawful Nationwide Injunctions by Radical Left Judges could very well lead to the destruction of our Country!” he wrote. “These people are Lunatics, who do not care, even a little bit, about the repercussions from their very dangerous and incorrect Decisions and Rulings.”

A president has to be allowed to act “quickly and decisively,” such as “returning murderers, drug lords, rapists, and other such type criminals back to their Homeland, or to other locations that will allow our Country to be SAFE.” . . .

“If Justice Roberts and the United States Supreme Court do not fix this toxic and unprecedented situation IMMEDIATELY, our Country is in very serious trouble!” he wrote. (Read more from “Trump Sends Clear Message to Supreme Court as Federal Judges Block Agenda” HERE)

FBI Arrests Former Agent Who Said Rudy Giuliani Might Have Been ‘Compromised’ By Russian Intelligence

/0 Comments/in , /by

A former FBI agent who previously claimed Rudy Giuliani was potentially “compromised” by Russia was arrested Monday by the FBI, court records filed Tuesday reveal.

Johnathan Buma was about to board a departing international flight at the John F. Kennedy International Airport when he was arrested by FBI agents, according to recently filed court documents. He was charged with disclosing confidential material, or violating 18 U.S. Code Section 1905.

Buma was an FBI Special Agent and Supervisory Special Agent specializing in counterintelligence and counterproliferation issues. He submitted his letter of resignation to the bureau on Sunday, according to the filing.

On Oct. 27, 2023, Buma allegedly printed around 130 files from the agency’s internal network, the documents read.

He was also accused of printing nine text-file documents containing protected information originating from reports, according to the filing. Buma allegedly printed screenshots of communications between him and a confidential human source (CHS) on an encrypted app. (Read more from “FBI Arrests Former Agent Who Said Rudy Giuliani Might Have Been ‘Compromised’ By Russian Intelligence” HERE)

FEMA Fraud: 20 Times More Applicants Than Homes in Los Angeles Fires

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has received 270,000 applications from purported homeowners in the recent L.A. fires — though only abut 13,000 homes were destroyed.

A FEMA official gave the staggering figure — more than twenty times the number of eligible applicants — as concerns about fraudulent applications continue to plague the agency, more than two months after the fire.

As Breitbart News has reported, many displaced residents had tried applying for FEMA relief, only to find that someone else had already applied in their name and with their address, locking them out of the system.

FEMA attempts to make relief funds easy to apply for, but the downside is that fraudsters can more easily take advantage of the system. A FEMA official said that problem was a major reason for closing applications at the end of the month, instead of extending them for a full year, as Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) requested.
