U.S. Relations With China ‘Worse’ Than With Cold War Soviet Union, Former NatSec Adviser Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Trump National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster believes American relations with China today are “worse” than they were with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

McMaster made the remarks during an interview with Margaret Brennan on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” Sunday. He told the host that U.S.-China relations are more complex than they were with the U.S.S.R. because of the interconnectedness of the two economies, and said the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) must “change its behavior” so the two countries can have a better relationship.

“It’s worse, it’s worse,” McMaster said when asked by Brennan about comparisons to the Cold War in response to news of China’s spy facility in Cuba. “Because it’s a more difficult problem set because of the way that our economies have become interconnected, in large measure based on these flawed assumptions about the nature of relationship, and especially the intentions of the Chinese Communist Party.”

“We thought that, that we could determine the behavior of the party by the way we engage them,” McMaster said. “But hey, guess what I mean, the Chinese Communist Party leadership had aspirations that went far beyond anything in reaction to what we do. And China really does want to establish itself as it sees it at the center.” (Read more from “U.S. Relations With China ‘Worse’ Than With Cold War Soviet Union, Former NatSec Adviser Says” HERE)

Biden’s Deputies Hide Mass Fraud in H-1B Middle-Class Outsourcing Visa

/0 Comments/in , /by

Indian-born CEOs are closing their firms and fleeing back to India to escape charges of fraud in the annual lotteries for visas to import H-1B foreign contract workers, says a lawyer for many Indian-owned subcontractors and visa workers.

“So yes, they are getting prosecuted, they are getting investigated, and that’s the reason why some of them are packing their bags and closing their companies,” said Rahul Reddy, an immigration lawyer in Texas.

Reddy made his comments during an online question-and-answer session with Indian graduates who are worried about the federal investigations into the H-1B fraud in the annual lottery for 85,000 new H-1B work permits. The work permits are used to import lower-wage migrants to take the jobs needed by U.S. college graduates.

Many Indian graduates in India cooperate with the fraud because the H-1B visas put them on a long, indentured-service path to U.S. jobs, green cards, and citizenship.

But many other Indian graduates from U.S. colleges oppose the lottery fraud because it hinders their three legal chances to convert their “Optional Practical Training” (OPT) work permits into an H-1B visa with its valuable path to U.S. citizenship.

‘Infect and Forget’: A Dose of Hookworms Could Help Patients Manage Inflammatory Bowel Disease

/0 Comments/in , /by

Could a dose of hookworms provide a medication-free alternative to people with inflammatory bowel disease? The Malaghan Institute’s Hookworm Therapy team, who recently published the results from their year-long clinical study, think it’s possible. Published in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, the feasibility study found that hookworms were a safe and long-lasting treatment for participants with ulcerative colitis—paving the way for wider clinical studies.

The Malaghan Institute has been exploring the potential therapeutic benefits of human hookworms for patients suffering allergic and inflammatory disease for a number of years. This current study was the first of its kind to investigate whether hookworms could offer a medication-free alternative for patients living with ulcerative colitis to manage their disease.

“This pilot study is the first controlled evidence in the use of hookworm as a therapy in ulcerative colitis,” says Malaghan Institute clinician and gastroenterologist Dr. Tom Mules who led the study alongside Rutherford Clinic gastroenterologist Dr. Stephen Inns. “Our study has shown this kind of therapy is well-tolerated, safe and feasible to take into a full-scale trial.”

In this pilot randomized controlled trial, patients currently in remission from ulcerative colitis were infected with a controlled dose of hookworm larvae or given placebo, and followed up over twelve months. Patients would provide regular feedback on any changes to their gut health or discomfort. Samples were collected throughout the year-long infection to test a range of scientific parameters such as gut inflammation, microbiome and immune cell composition.

“We deliberately chose to target patients with ulcerative colitis in remission,” says Dr. Mules. (Read more from “‘Infect and Forget’: A Dose of Hookworms Could Help Patients Manage Inflammatory Bowel Disease” HERE)

Elon Musk Backs Joe Rogan’s Challenge for COVID-19 Scientist to Debate Vaccines With RFK Jr.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twitter owner Elon Musk threw his support Saturday behind comedian Joe Rogan’s challenge for COVID-19 scientist Peter Hotez to debate vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.

Musk accused Hotez of being “afraid of public debate, because he knows he’s wrong” when Rogan doubled down on his debate proposal. Hotez, a professor at the Baylor College of Medicine, first responded to Rogan’s request without providing a definitive answer on whether he would debate Kennedy.

Rogan initially offered Hotez $100,000 to the charity of his choice to debate Kennedy after the scientist shared a Vice News article criticizing Rogan’s June 15 podcast episode with Kennedy. Hotez replied by telling Rogan, “you have my cell, my email, I’m always willing to speak with you.”

Hotez responded to Musk’s comment by calling him “monstrous” and defending his stance on vaccines. Musk clarified he is pro-vaccine but allegedly suffered side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine. Nonetheless, Musk said he believes Hotez should debate Kennedy.

IRS Agent Claims He Can ‘Go Into Anyone’s House at Any Time I Want’

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan sent a letter to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Friday demanding to know why an agent had told a woman that he could “go into anyone’s house at any time I want.”

Jordan revealed in the letter that a he’d recently learned of allegations about an IRS agent who had allegedly used a fake name to enter a taxpayer’s home and then threatened her. The letter explained that an agent going by “Bill Haus” showed up at an Ohio woman’s home in April, telling her that he can “go into anyone’s house at any time.”

“We have recently received allegations that an Internal Revenue Service agent provided a false name to an Ohio taxpayer as part of a deception to gain entry into the taxpayer’s home to confront her about delinquent tax filings,” the letter reads. “When the taxpayer rightfully objected to the agent’s tactics, the IRS agent insisted that he ‘can . . . go into anyone’s house at any time’ as an IRS agent. These allegations raise serious concerns about the IRS’s commitment to fundamental civil liberties.”

Haus allegedly entered the woman’s home, claiming she owed a significant amount in taxes for an estate of which she was a “fiduciary,” according to the letter. Later on, the agent allegedly told the woman that he was actually there to discuss “several delinquent tax return filings” from the estate’s deceased owner.

After calling her attorney, the woman was instructed to tell the agent to leave but he refused, claiming that he could be at any house at “any time,” according to the letter. Haus eventually left but allegedly “threatened that she had one week to satisfy the remaining balance or he would freeze all her assets and put a lien on her house.” (Read more from “IRS Agent Claims He Can ‘Go Into Anyone’s House at Any Time I Want’” HERE)

Goya Foods CEO Calls for Spiritual ‘Intervention’ in 2024: ‘We’re Going to Lose This Country’

/0 Comments/in , /by

As the Republican presidential field continues to expand, Goya Foods CEO Bob Unanue issued a call to action Friday, warning voters will “lose” the country if President Biden is re-elected to a second term.

“As a CEO, businessman, what’s happened in the last two years is a complete disaster,” Unanue told “Mornings with Maria.”

“We’ve unraveled all the gains that were made. But I’m more here today as a Latino than as a business person. And when things get bad, we need an intervention. We need an intervention bad, or otherwise we’re going to lose this country, our morality,” he continued. . .

“We are in a spiritual war,” Unanue said. “But this intervention is going to take place with the Holy Spirit. Latinos, which will be the biggest group in this country by 2050 or by next week with this open border, hold the values of God, family, life, work. We are attacked.” . . .

“[Latinos] left countries with communism, with oppression where there’s no freedom of speech, only to find that happening here,” he continued. “We’re in a country where we’re attacking the children. Our children are under attack, and we need to heal. And Donald Trump is the person who we are blessed with and who will lead this country closer to God.” (Read more from “Goya Foods CEO Calls for Spiritual ‘Intervention’ in 2024: ‘We’re Going to Lose This Country’” HERE)

Disgusting: US General Attacks States That Pass Pro-Family Legislation

/0 Comments/in , /by

A high-ranking Space Force officer recently condemned what she said were anti-LGBTQ laws passed by state legislatures across the country.

Lt. Gen. DeAnna Burt, deputy chief of space operations, told an audience at a Pentagon Pride celebration that more than 400 have been introduced at the state level since January.

“That number is rising and demonstrates a trend that could be dangerous for service members, their families and the readiness of the force as a whole,” Gen. Burt said.

Such laws can affect the personnel decisions she makes for Space Force service members, including promotions and assignments. While job performance and relevant experience are primary considerations, a potential commander’s “personal circumstances” are also important factors, Gen. Burt said.

“If a good match for a job does not feel ‘safe’ being themselves and performing at their highest potential at a given location, or if their family could be denied critical health care due to the laws in that state, I am compelled to consider a different candidate and (someone who is) perhaps less qualified,” Gen. Burt said. (Read more from “Disgusting: US General Attacks States That Pass Pro-Family Legislation” HERE)

Majority of GOP Wants Trump in Race Even After Indictment: Poll

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republicans continue to stand behind former President Donald Trump despite his recent indictment by a Florida grand jury, according to a poll released on Friday.

Although the majority of voters overall (56%) believe Trump should drop out of the 2024 presidential race because of the indictment, 64% of Republican and Republican-leaning respondents said they would continue to support Trump if he remains in the race, according to a national poll conducted by the Marist Institute for Public Opinion.

“As former President Trump deals with his latest legal woes, Republicans are mostly standing with him, while Democrats are calling for him to exit the 2024 campaign,” Marist Director Lee Miringoff said in a statement.

“Time will tell if this pattern holds, but for now, Republicans are grounded on where they stand on Trump regardless of these unfolding events,” he added.

More than three-quarters of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, 76%, have a favorable opinion of Trump, up from 68% in February, the poll said. (Read more from “Majority of GOP Wants Trump in Race Even After Indictment: Poll” HERE)

Biden’s Elevation of Woke Admiral to Top NATO Post Among Blocked Promotions

/0 Comments/in , /by

For a top position at NATO, President Joe Biden’s pick is an admiral who has been outspoken about increased opportunities for women in the Navy since 1993—and today advocates diversity, equity, and inclusion policies in the military.

In February, Biden tapped Rear Adm. Shoshana Chatfield for promotion to vice admiral and assignment as U.S. military representative to the NATO Military Committee in Brussels, Belgium.

Chatfield, 57, currently serves as president of the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island.

Chatfield is among the some 200 military promotions being blocked by Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., in his effort to undo the Defense Department’s new taxpayer-funded abortion policy. . .

The top of Chatfield’s LinkedIn page touts her experience in naval aviation and DEI, saying: “Talks about #navalaviation and #dei.” (Read more from “Biden’s Elevation of Woke Admiral to Top NATO Post Among Blocked Promotions” HERE)
