China military planes reportedly landed at Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan. This is after Biden abandoned the base in its hasty surrender of the country.
For the first time since Joe Biden and General Milley withdrew all US forces from Bagram Air Base and left the Taliban with billions in US military weapons, the lights at Bagram were turned on last night.

In 2018, the Pulitzer Prize committee awarded the Washington Post and New York Times awards in journalism for their reporting on the now-proven false claim that there was a link between the Trump campaign and Putin’s Kremlin.
Trump called for the revocation of that award during his time in office, saying then via Twitter that it was “So funny that The New York Times & The Washington Post got a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage (100% NEGATIVE and FAKE!) of Collusion with Russia — And there was No Collusion! So, they were either duped or corrupt?In any event, their prizes should be taken away by the Committee!“
His latest letter reads:
“I call on the Pulitzer Prize Board to immediately rescind the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting awarded to the staffs of The New York Times and The Washington Post, which was based on false reporting of a non-existent link between the Kremlin and the Trump Campaign. As has been widely publicized, the coverage was no more than a politically motivated farce which attempted to spin a false narrative that my campaign supposedly colluded with Russia despite a complete lack of evidence underpinning this allegation.
“When the Board announced the prize, it lauded the recipients ‘for deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically furthered the nations’ understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the President-elect’s transition team, and his eventual administration.’
Specifically, the prize was awarded for a series of articles centered around the now-debunked Russia collusion conspiracy theory. The headlines themselves were extremely sensational and leaned heavily on unsubstantiated anonymous sources. For example, much of the information contained in these articles were credited to ‘people with knowledge,’ ‘current and former officials,’ ‘some senior U.S. officials,’ and other vaguely defined individuals. As a result, the public was deprived of an independent means of assessing their credibility, their potential for political bias, and the source of their knowledge.” …

Military planes are spotted landing at Bagram airbase in Afghanistan after it was claimed China is ‘considering’ sending soldiers to ex US airbase to strengthen ties with Taliban
There are unconfirmed reports that Chinese military planes have landed at Bagram airbase in Afghanistan
New images from Afghanistan show that power has been restored to the base and multiple sources alleged military planes arrived at the former US stronghold
It comes after Yun Sun, Director of the China Program at Stimson Research Center, said China would be ‘eager’ to occupy the airfield and seize any equipment left over by the US
The move would be an attempt to strengthen ties with the Taliban and embarrass America
Kash Patel spoke with Maria Bartiromo this morning about the Durham investigation.
“The one thing that doesn’t lie is bank records & money records and that’s what John Durham is basing his conspiracy investigation on, because he cited 8 other individuals in that indictment - not by name - but I believe it to be the Marc Elias’s of the world, the Fusion GPS’s of the world, Glen Simpson’s - all of these individuals that helped perpetuate this fraud on the American people are in this indictment by title.”

Los Angeles Times: Ballot Firm’s Ties to Venezuela Criticized (2006)
An Oakland company that provides electronic voting machines in California and 19 other states is drawing scrutiny over its acquisition last year by a group of Venezuelan investors with past business ties to the government of President Hugo Chavez.
Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.) last month wrote U.S. Treasury Secretary John W. Snow asking whether the Bush administration had weighed the national security implications of “a company with possible ties to the Venezuelan government” selling touch-screen voting machines for U.S. elections.
Sequoia, founded in Jamestown, N.Y., in the late 1890s, was acquired in March 2005 by Smartmatic Corp., a private company owned by Venezuelan investors through a series of holding companies based in Europe and the Caribbean.
Smartmatic emerged from obscurity the year before when it won a $100-million contract to supply touch-screen voting machines for an ultimately unsuccessful recall effort against Chavez in 2004.
Before the election, Smartmatic was part of a consortium that included a software company partly owned by a Venezuelan government agency.
The company markets optical scanners, which electronically tabulate ballots marked by voters, and touch-screen machines, on which votes are recorded using technology similar to that found in automated teller machines.
Concerns about Smartmatic’s offshore ownership are fueling broader worries that computerized voting systems are vulnerable to hackers and political manipulation.
Chicago Alderman Edward Burke cited Sequoia’s Venezuelan ownership in his complaint about the company’s performance during March primary elections in his city and surrounding Cook County. Problems with merging results from two new types of voting machines supplied by Sequoia led to a days-long delay in posting final results.
Burke, who chaired an investigation into the incident, said he was bothered by reports that Venezuelan technicians and engineers “were in the Chicago tabulating rooms counting votes” on election night.
Burke contends that Sequoia’s complex ownership “is designed to make it difficult to learn who the real controlling interests are.”
Sequoia’s parent company, Boca Raton, Fla.-based Smartmatic, is controlled by Smartmatic International Holdings of Amsterdam. The holding company is owned by Smartmatic International Group of Curacao in the Dutch Antilles, a string of Caribbean islands near the Venezuelan coast.
Antonio Mujica, a citizen of Venezuela and Spain who lives in Caracas, Venezuela, founded the parent company in 2000 and, along with his family, owns a 75% stake.
The company’s Venezuelan owners made “extra efforts to make it appear that Smartmatic is purely a [U.S.] company,” said Lowell Finley, co-director of Voter Action, an electronic voting watchdog group in Berkeley.

Whistle-Blower to Accuse Facebook of Contributing to Jan. 6 Riot, Memo Says.
In an internal memo meant to pre-empt a “60 Minutes” interview, Facebook defended itself and said that social media was not a primary cause of polarization.
SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook, which has been under fire from a former employee who has revealed that the social network knew of many of the harms it was causing, was bracing for new accusations over the weekend from the whistle-blower and said in a memo that it was preparing to mount a vigorous defense.
The whistle-blower, whose identity has not been publicly disclosed, planned to accuse the company of relaxing its security safeguards for the 2020 election too soon after Election Day, which then led it to be used in the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, according to the internal memo obtained by The New York Times. The whistle-blower planned to discuss the allegations on “60 Minutes” on Sunday.
