Trump Asks Supreme Court to Halt TikTok Ban From Taking Effect

/0 Comments/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to delay a law that would effectively ban TikTok from taking effect until after he assumes office.

Trump lawyer John Sauer, who is the solicitor general designee for the incoming administration, petitioned the high court to postpone its hearing on the TikTok ban, arguing that the matter could be redressed “through political means” instead.

“President Trump alone possesses the consummate dealmaking expertise, the electoral mandate, and the political will to negotiate a resolution to save the platform while addressing the national security concerns,” Sauer wrote.

“In light of these interests — including, most importantly, his overarching responsibility for the United States’ national security and foreign policy — President Trump opposes banning TikTok in the United States at this juncture, and seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office.”

The Chinese firm ByteDance had been ordered to divest TikTok or face an outright ban in the US pursuant to a law signed by President Biden earlier this year. (Read more from “Trump Asks Supreme Court to Halt TikTok Ban From Taking Effect” HERE)

Report: China Rapidly Builds Up Weapons And Psychological Warfare Operations

/0 Comments/in , /by

The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is undertaking an unprecedented military buildup aimed at challenging America and its allies, particularly in the Indo-Pacific. And, like Nazi Germany’s buildup in the 1930s, the militarization program ordered by the Chinese Communist Party isn’t simply a great power buildup — it’s a weapon in service of a deadly ideology.

The 2024 Department of Defense China Military Power Report and recent analysis by Bill Gertz in the Washington Times reveal this buildup as part of a broader strategy by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to position itself as a global superpower. Meanwhile, the U.S., having spent $5.4 trillion on the global war on terror and attendant, futile nation-building, has left itself strategically vulnerable by diverting critical resources while underestimating the threat from China.

Missile Expansion and Strategic Modernization

China has rapidly expanded the People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force (PLARF) arsenal, adding, that we know of, some:

50 new intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of striking the continental U.S., for a cumulative total of 400.

300 medium-range ballistic missiles and 100 long-range cruise missiles.

More than 600 operational nuclear warheads, projected to surpass 1,000 by 2030.

Biden-Harris Administration Wishes Everyone a ‘Happy Kwanzaa’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden-Harris White House has wished Americans a “Happy Kwanzaa” — a holiday invented in 1966 by a racist extremist who served prison time for torturing a woman.

Vice President Kamala Harris — who was born just two years before the holiday’s inception — claimed in 2020 that she and her family used to gather around, “across multiple generations,” and discuss Kwanzaa’s “seven principles” — which are identical to the principles of left-wing terrorist organization Symbionese Liberation Army.

Harris wrote on X in 2020 that her family’s “Kwanzaa celebrations are one of my favorite childhood memories,” garnering thousands of critical comments pointing out that the holiday’s founder, Maulana Karenga (born Ronald McKinley Everett, pictured above), was a violent radical:

Despite the backlash, the White House has once again posted a “Happy Kwanzaa” message on social media:

Spy Bosses ‘Silenced’ Defense Department, FBI Scientists From Briefing Biden on COVID Lab Leak Evidence

/4 Comments/in , /by

Spy chiefs “silenced” researchers in the Defense Department and FBI who discovered strong evidence that COVID-19 most likely leaked from a Chinese lab, The Post has learned.

As a result, their findings were kept out of an August 2021 report to President Biden on the origins of the global pandemic.

That report concluded that the virus behind COVID “was probably not genetically engineered.”

After the pandemic erupted in Wuhan, China, three scientists from the Defense Intelligence Agency began trying to figure out exactly where it came from — whether SARS-CoV-2 jumped from bats into humans, or whether the virus was man-made and came from a lab accident.

The “zoonotic origin” theory was backed by powerful members of the public health establishment, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, and questions about a possible “lab leak” were repeatedly dismissed as a conspiracy theory.

Documents Reveal Just How Crazy The CIA’s MKULTRA Mind-Control Program Really Was

/1 Comment/in , /by

A new collection of over 1,200 documents detailing the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) infamous mind control program, MKULTRA, was published by the National Security Archive and ProQuest on Monday.

The collection was announced 50 years after Seymour Hersh’s New York Times investigation illuminated the program’s abuses, according to the Archive. It was also published 70 years after the U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturer, Eli Lilly & Company, became the CIA’s primary source of the psychoactive drug LSD, the Archive added.

The MKULTRA project was conducted in the 1950s, and most of the original records were destroyed by CIA director Richard Helms and head of the Technical Services Staff (TSS) of the CIA’s Chemical Division Sidney Gottlieb, according to the Archive. Gottlieb would eventually serve as director of the agency’s Technical Services Division (TSD).

The collection includes records that managed to survive the agency’s “purge” of secretive documents, according to the Archive. (Read more from “Documents Reveal Just How Crazy The CIA’s MKULTRA Mind-Control Program Really Was” HERE)

Liberal Lawyers Propose Longshot Nuclear Option to Stop Trump From Taking Office

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Two liberal attorneys claimed Thursday that Congress can still prevent President-elect Donald Trump from taking office — and elect Vice President Kamala Harris in his place — if they act fast.

Congress can reject electoral votes on when they gather to certify them on Jan. 6 because Trump is disqualified from holding office under 14th Amendment, which restricts anyone who took an oath to support the Constitution and then “engaged in insurrection” from holding office, attorneys Evan Davis and David Schulte wrote in a column for The Hill.

“The unlikelihood of congressional Republicans doing anything that might elect Harris as president is obvious,” the attorneys wrote. “But Democrats need to take a stand against Electoral College votes for a person disqualified by the Constitution from holding office unless and until this disability is removed. No less is required by their oath to support and defend the Constitution.”

Lawmakers have grounds to dispute the vote if electors were “not lawfully certified” or if the vote was “not regularly given,” they claim.

“A vote for a candidate disqualified by the Constitution is plainly in accordance with the normal use of words ‘not regularly given,’” the attorneys argued, writing that disqualification for insurrection is “no different from disqualification based on other constitutional requirements such as age, citizenship from birth and 14 years’ residency in the United States.”

Report: Georgia Realtor Killed, Allegedly by Illegal Alien Freed by Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

An illegal alien, reportedly released into the United States by President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is accused of driving drunk and causing a crash that killed 37-year-old Jimmy Chang, a well-known realtor in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia.

Christian Fernando Irias-Ruiz, a 20-year-old Honduran national, has been arrested and charged with first-degree vehicular homicide, drunk driving, reckless driving, speeding, and possession of alcohol by someone under 21 years old.

According to police, the crash occurred just days before Christmas when Irias-Ruiz allegedly drove drunk, ran a red light, and t-boned Jimmy Chang’s vehicle — killing him. A third vehicle was involved in the crash, which left some passengers injured.

“It’s devastating for all the family right now, still can’t process that he’s gone,” Jason Chang, Jimmy’s brother, told WSB-TV 2 Atlanta. “He impacted a lot of lives.”

A report from Fox News Digital reveals that Irias-Ruiz is an illegal alien from Honduras and was first apprehended crossing the southern border in June 2021. DHS officials, though, released Irias-Ruiz into the United States interior through Biden’s expansive Catch and Release network.

Putin Claims He Has Not Spoken to Trump in Years, Contradicting Woodward Report

/1 Comment/in , /by

Russian President Vladimir Putin claims to have not spoken to President-elect Donald Trump in four years, which would appear to contradict a book by reporter Bob Woodward that claimed the two world leaders spoke several times after Trump left office.

Putin issued his claim during a lengthy news conference on Thursday in which he spoke about Russia’s mission in Syria and its war in Ukraine.

“You asked what we can offer, or what I can offer to the newly elected President Trump when we meet,” Putin said in response to a question from NBC’s Keir Simmons. “First of all, I don’t know when we will meet. Because he hasn’t said anything about it. I haven’t spoken to him at all in over four years. Of course, I am ready for this at any time, and I will be ready for a meeting if he wants it.”

If Putin’s admission of not speaking to Trump in four years turns out true, it would heavily contradict explosive claims by reporter Bob Woodward, who charged that the president-elect secretly sent coronavirus tests to Putin and that he regularly kept in contact with the Russian president after leaving office. As the AFP reported at the time:

Then-president Donald Trump secretly sent Covid test kits to Vladimir Putin despite a US shortage during the pandemic, and spoke multiple times with the Russian leader after leaving office, Bob Woodward says in an explosive new book.

The famed reporter’s opus also chronicles some of President Joe Biden’s own acknowledged missteps and his struggle to prevent escalation of conflict in the Middle East, including exasperation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over futile efforts to get Israel and Hamas to reach a ceasefire.

This Household Item Is So Toxic It Could Kill Your Pet With Just One Lick: ‘I Had No Idea’

Would you prefer to lose your hair or lose your pet

A doctor is sounding the alarm over the dangers of the topical version of hair-loss medication minoxidil, saying residue on your hands could prove deadly to your dog or cat.

Dr Joe Whittington, who boasts more than 2 million followers on TikTok, made a video PSA about the potentially perilous product — and it’s alarming viewers around the world.

Minoxidil is an active ingredient in topical products, including Rogain, applied to the scalp to stimulate hair growth.

Foams and liquid solutions of the drug are wildly popular with both men and women and products featuring 5% of minoxidil or less are available over the counter for under $30.

“It’s so toxic that even the smallest exposure can be life-threatening, especially to cats, because their bodies don’t have the ability to metabolize it,” Whittington revealed in viral video, viewed 790,000 times.

Christians Celebrate Christmas in 2024: ‘For to Us a Child Is Born’

/8 Comments/in , /by

Christians around the globe celebrate Christmas this week, what they believe to be the miracle of the Incarnation—that God came into this world by being born as a baby, and living a human life on this earth, believing this to be the fulfillment of centuries of prophecy.

Jesus of Nazareth was born around 4 B.C. in Bethlehem, a small town in Israel about five miles south of Jerusalem. Christians believe that he was born to a virgin named Mary. She would likely have been around 13 to 14 years old, and was formally engaged to Joseph, who would have been around age 15 or 17.

Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus had decreed a census of the Roman Empire, and Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem to register as descendants of King David, who hailed from that town. And so Jesus was born in a stable, because there were no rooms available at the inn in which they sought to stay.

But followers of Jesus believe that far more happened that night. There are dozens of prophesies recorded over the centuries in the Old Testament of the Bible that speak of a Messiah (or “Christ” in Greek), meaning an “Anointed One” chosen by God to deliver his people and rule over them.

The Christian faith teaches that Jesus’s birth fulfilled several of those prophesies. Among those is the one written by Isaiah seven hundred years before Jesus. In Isaiah 9:6–7, the prophet wrote:

“6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
