Bombshell Indictment: Top New York Democrat Aide Worked as Agent of Influence for China, Communist Party

/1 Comment/in , /by

A former top aide to New York Govs. Andrew Cuomo (D) and Kathy Hochul (D) used her high-ranking position in the state’s government to peddle influence for China and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) while profiting millions in the process, an unsealed federal indictment alleges.

On Tuesday, federal prosecutors unsealed the indictment against 41-year-old Linda Sun, born in China and a naturalized American citizen, and her husband, 40-year-old Chris Hu. The indictment charges the couple with operating a money laundering and bank fraud scheme thanks in part to Sun’s allegedly acting as an agent of influence for China while working in Cuomo and Hochul’s administrations.

The couple were arrested and arraigned in federal court in Brooklyn on Tuesday.

The 64-page indictment is far-reaching, detailing Sun’s alleged work as an agent for China and her husband’s subsequent illegal business dealings in China. In particular, the indictment lays out how Sun allegedly acted on behalf of the CCP while working for Cuomo, who is called “Politician-1,” and Hochul, who is called “Politician-2.” The indictment states:

The defendant LINDA SUN acted at the order, direction, or request of representatives of the [People’s Republic of China (PRC)] government and the CCP to engage in political activities intended to influence the public, including the [New York State (NYS)] government, with respect to the political or public interests of the PRC government and the CCP.

Liberal TV Host Says He Thinks Trump Shouldn’t Face Prosecution ‘In The Middle Of An Election’

/1 Comment/in , /by

NewsNation host Chris Cuomo said during a Tuesday podcast that he does not believe former President Donald Trump should be prosecuted during the presidential election.

Trump currently faces four criminal cases, with two relating to the 2020 presidential election, one concerning the 2016 presidential election and another involving classified documents. Cuomo said on “The Chris Cuomo Project” that he thinks some of the cases have merit but that it is still not worthwhile to prosecute Trump due to the timing.

“Remember, Donald Trump has proven to you time and again he doesn’t give a shit about the law if it doesn’t suit his ends. And that’s the truth. I don’t like the cases that were brought against him — two of ’em in New York. The other ones, the classified documents, he did it, okay? Trying to rig this election — he did it,” Cuomo said. “He messed with them in Georgia, and he shouldn’t have, and he knew it. Is it worth prosecuting the guy in the middle of an election? I don’t know. I would say no, and I know that’s crazy.”

“I believe in prosecutorial discretion. Theoretically, no one is above the law, but in practice, prosecutors make decisions of whom to prosecute and whom not to on a basis of policy or also prosecutability,” he added. “And I think that going after Trump for business records, for the other thing they went after him for in New York, the catch-and-kill stuff, I just — I don’t think those are cases you make that often. And I don’t think you make them if it’s not Trump. And to me, just ’cause I don’t like how he is doesn’t mean I don’t think we should be better than that. We should.” (Read more from “Liberal TV Host Says He Thinks Trump Shouldn’t Face Prosecution ‘In The Middle Of An Election’” HERE)

U.S. City Now Faces Serious Music for Arresting Woman Who Criticized Government Official

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression has filed a lawsuit against the city of Surprise, Arizona, and several officials after the mayor decided his policy of not allowing residents to offer any criticism of city officials overruled the U.S. Constitution at council meetings.

WND reported earlier when Mayor Skip Hall ordered resident Rebekah Massie arrested for her speech during a portion of a government meeting set aside for residents’ concerns.

She was opposed to a city decision to give its lawyer even more money.

“I have concerns with allocating the more funds to him specifically for a few different reasons,” she explained. Her public records requests are under “review” regarding the actions of lawyer Robert Wingo, already one of the highest paid city officials in the Phoenix region at $265,000.

Hall threatened that she wasn’t allowed to make such comments. (Read more from “U.S. City Now Faces Serious Music for Arresting Woman Who Criticized Government Official” HERE)

Manifesto Reveals Trans-Identifying Nashville Shooter’s Disdain For Christianity, Obsession With Racial Politics

/1 Comment/in , /by

The 2023 Nashville school shooter responsible for the deaths of half a dozen Christians expressed disdain for Christianity and her parents’ biblical beliefs, according to a copy of her long-hidden manifesto released on Tuesday.

Obtained and published by The Tennessee Star, the 90-page journal documents the mental breakdown of Audrey Hale leading up to her attack on The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, in March 2023. Hale, who identified as a male, killed six people during her rampage, including three small children.

The journal released by the Star offers insight into Hale’s gender confusion and how it induced her apparent disdain for Christianity. In one segment of the document, she seemingly lamented biblical teaching that all children are made in the image of God, writing, “If God won’t give me a boy body in heaven, then Jesus is a f-ggot.”

She also attacked her parents for apparently holding similar beliefs, writing that “conservative religion gay sh-t makes them believe that the child they are given should stay that way.”

“Father is delusional … tells me ‘it gets better + better,’” Hale separately wrote. “OLD MAN, YOU’RE FULL OF SH-T. You don’t feel good every damn day. F-GGOT F-CK.” (Read more from “Manifesto Reveals Trans-Identifying Nashville Shooter’s Disdain For Christianity, Obsession With Racial Politics” HERE)

Authorities Search For Answers As Country’s Classic Churches Keep Burning Down

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Church of the Immaculate Conception went up in flames Monday in yet another instance of a French church burning to the ground, leading to speculations on the origins of their destruction.

The church burnings highlight the tensions brewing in France’s secular and multicultural country, and its immigration policies have come under increased scrutiny. Weak church structures, bias against Christians and mass immigration have all been brought up as potential factors in the onslaught of church burnings.

The church of the Immaculate Conception was nestled in the northern French town of Saint-Omer, and its bell tower collapsed from the fire. Prosecutors announced Tuesday that police arrested a man in relation to the incident, LeMonde reported.

A Saint-Omer prosecutor told Agence France-Press the man was known for previously committing “similar acts.”

France’s Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin stated in a Twitter post Monday that an investigation was underway to “determine the exact origin of the fire.” (Read more from “Authorities Search For Answers As Country’s Classic Churches Keep Burning Down” HERE)

Kamala Harris has avoided the press since she stole all of Joe Biden’s delegates and took his donor money in a Pelosi-Obama-backed coup.

Harris and her Stolen Valor running mate Tim Walz have only spoken to CNN’s Dana Bash in a carefully scripted dumpster fire interview.

Harris avoided reporters as she departed Joint Base Andrews on Monday morning en route to Detroit, Michigan, to make a Labor Day campaign stop with union leaders. . .

Kamala Harris pretended to be on the phone as she rushed away from reporters. She’ll do anything to avoid answering questions.

VP Harris Goes Viral for New ‘Accent’ at Detroit Rally, Sparking Comparison to Iconic Cartoon (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris raised eyebrows during her Labor Day rally in Detroit, Michigan, unveiling what critics call a new “accent.”

Harris spent her Monday holiday in the Motor City hoping to shore up blue-collar union workers in the critical battleground state that she wants to keep blue in the November election.

“You better thank a union member for the five-day work week,” Harris told the crowd with a noticeable shift in her dialect. “You better thank a union member for sick leave. You better thank a union member for paid leave. You better thank a union member for vacation time.” . . .

“This is her seventh new accent in four weeks,” Trump senior advisor Stephen Miller reacted. “She has literally never used this accent before. She grew up in Canada. Phoniest politician in all of politics.”

“There are countless traits that I despise in humans, few as much as inauthenticity,” professor and podcast host Gad Saad wrote.

Watch: Theo Von and Donald Trump Swap Stories Over Family Trauma

/0 Comments/in , /by

Something you may not know about the 45th president of the United States (and God willing, the 46th) is that he doesn’t drink. In fact, he never has.

On a recent episode of Theo’s Von’s “This Past Weekend” podcast, the Republican presidential candidate was surprisingly vulnerable regarding his lifelong sobriety.

Dave Rubin plays the clip of the duo’s touching conversation.

“I had a great brother who taught me a lesson: don’t drink,” said Trump, adding that he’s “never had a glass of alcohol — never ever.”

“I admired so much about him. He had so much going — he had the look; he had an unbelievable personality,” Trump said of his brother. “He lived for so long in bad conditions. I was amazed that his body could hold out.” (Read more from “Watch: Theo Von and Donald Trump Swap Stories Over Family Trauma” HERE)

Can RFK Jr.’s Anti-Establishment Coalition Help Swing the Election for Trump?

/1 Comment/in , /by

The consensus that emerged among pollsters and pundits across the political spectrum after RFK Jr.’s shock endorsement of Donald Trump was that it would have little effect on the outcome. But does that consensus reflect the same groupthink that missed the Trump surprise in 2016?

The editorial board of The Wall Street Journal warned that while Kennedy’s backing could possibly help Trump marginally in battleground states, “the price could be high if it includes putting Mr. Kennedy in a second Trump Administration,” concluding that “Mr. Trump’s best response is to thank RFK Jr. for his support, make no promises about the future, and by all means avoid joint campaign appearances” to avoid the taint of association with his fringe positions.

ABC News’ 538 polling site assured readers that “our analysis of the polling data suggests Kennedy’s endorsement of Trump will have a minimal impact on the race. Kennedy, who has consistently polled around 5 percent since Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee, was drawing roughly equally from both Trump and Harris … [T]he effect of his departure on overall support for either candidate will be small.”

The New York Times’ analysis of the move asserts that the endorsement “is unlikely to change the nature of the race … in part because it is hard to know how many of Mr. Kennedy’s supporters will vote in November. They are less likely than others to have voted in 2020, and are also less likely to say they will vote come November.”

What these static, conventional assessments miss is the very dynamic that stunned the political world in 2016 when Trump outperformed polling averages by unprecedented margins to win a victory that virtually no one in the establishment saw coming: The activation of the disaffected, hidden voting blocks bound together only by their common hatred of that establishment.

Latest Swing State Polls Suggest Trump Could Score Decisive Victory Against Kamala Harris

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fresh surveys from seven battleground states show a scenario where Donald Trump could win in November with a decisive 296 electoral votes.

Trafalgar, which polled between Aug. 28-30, sees Trump sweeping 44 electoral votes from the pivotal Blue Wall states in November, eking out narrow wins in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin inside the polls’ margins of error.

Insider Advantage handled polling in four other battlegrounds between Aug. 29-31, with Arizona, Nevada and North Carolina going to Trump.

To be sure, each of these states remains a statistical dead heat — meaning they could ultimately go either way come election day.

However, the polling is a departure from recent polling that shows Vice President Kamala Harris making gains in the states that will decide the election. (Read more from “Latest Swing State Polls Suggest Trump Could Score Decisive Victory Against Kamala Harris” HERE)
