ANALYSIS – The massive protests against the communist Chinese dictatorship and its draconian anti-COVID repression continue. And so does the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) crackdown. As these Chinese ‘freedom protests’ grow and spread, hypocritical Western leaders, who until recently pursued their own less harsh COVID crackdowns and vaccine mandates, are showing their support. Among them, Joe Biden. A Monday White House statement in response to anti-lockdown demonstrations that swept through major Chinese cities reads: We think it’s going to be very difficult for the People’s Republic of China to be able to contain this virus through their zero COVID strategy. We’ve long…

ANALYSIS – A spokesman for the Islamist terror group Islamic State, or ISIS, has announced that their latest leader has been killed “in action.” His death has not yet been independently verified, and no one has claimed responsibility for the killing. Asked in Washington about Abu al-Hassan al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi’s death, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told The Associated Press: “We certainly welcome the news of the death of another ISIS leader. I don’t have any additional operational details to provide at this time.” Qurashi refers to the tribe of Islam’s founder, the Prophet Muhammad, from whom ISIS leaders must claim…
ANALYSIS – Stranger than fiction. Can’t make this stuff up. The cross-dressing, ‘puppy sex role play,’ ‘non-binary’ Department of Energy (DOE) official appointed by Joe Biden was placed on leave last month after he was reportedly caught on camera stealing an expensive suitcase at a midwestern airport terminal. This is according to a report in the New York Post. His criminal case is now in court. According to court filings, Sam Brinton, the deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition at the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy was charged with felony theft after allegedly snatching a Vera Bradley suitcase…

ANALYSIS – The U.S. Defense Department’s annual report to Congress on China’s military power has just dropped, and it focuses a lot on China using its mushrooming military capabilities to increase its global coercion and bullying. However, it also delves into the myriad other threats China poses to the United States, its allies, Taiwan and the entire global system. These threats could potentially lead to a direct military conflict with the United States as early as next year, but increasingly so by 2027 and beyond. (RELATED: China Plans for Global Dominance) The 2022 report calls the communist superpower a “pacing challenge” and the…

ANALYSIS – Despite the still ongoing media-Big Tech-Democrat Party collusion to ignore, minimize or denigrate any calls to investigate Hunter Biden’s shady foreign business deals, Americans are increasingly supportive of the idea. This is great news for the incoming Republican House majority, which plans to do just that. The latest Rasmussen Reports survey found that a whopping 62% of Americans want Hunter Biden’s business dealings investigated, especially those with Communist China. Similarly, about 63% told Rasmussen that the Hunter Biden laptop computer is an important story. Of course, out of this nearly 2/3 majority, Republicans and independent voters are the most eager for a…
ANALYSIS – Just as I was preparing to write about the growing riots against the tyrannical Islamist regime in Iran, the largest freedom riots since Tiananmen Square in 1989 exploded this weekend against the tyrannical communist regime in China. Both these rebellions a world apart are positive signs for freedom. They also show how brittle and fragile totalitarian and authoritarian dictatorships truly are. And the freedom riots in Iran could also be inspiring and fueling those in China. But the impact of those in China could have far more significance globally, as they are occurring while the communist Chinese regime…

ANALYSIS – As the left implodes over Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter and many triggered liberals threaten to abandon the platform, conservatives are breathing a sigh of relief. For years now, but increasingly since Donald Trump was elected, Big Tech has been on a rampage against mainstream conservative ideas and opinions. Often, Big Tech employees and executives have been found overtly colluding with the Democrats in Washington to spread their agenda and talking points while quashing and canceling any opposing (i.e., conservative views). Their weapons of choice – ‘independent fact checking’ (aka – imposing their leftist views on things by…
