A federal jury convicted Guo of racketeering conspiracy, fraud raps and money laundering after the feds charged him with bilking thousands of supporters over a five-year span. Guo had amassed a large online following after starting two nonprofits in 2018 that pushed his purported agenda of being critical of the Chinese Communist Party, prosecutors said. But “Miles Guo did not lead a movement … he led a criminal enterprise, strengthened through violence, through threats, through fear,” prosecutor Ryan Finkel told the court Monday. Guo also boasted political connections, including a friendship with former White House adviser Steve Bannon. Trump administration...

Daily Readings from the USCCBWhen Jesus came to the territory of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs who were coming from the tombs met him. They were so savage that no one could travel by that road. They cried out, “What have you to do with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the appointed time?” Matthew 8:28–29p> After delivering His Sermon on the Mount and performing many miracles among His own people, Jesus intentionally journeys across the Sea of Galilee into Gentile territory—the region of the Gadarenes, near Gadara, a town within the pagan Decapolis. His...

View comments Google billionaire Sergey Brin is cutting his losses and staging a dramatic exit from the dysfunctional New York City real estate market. The tech titan, whose fortune sits at $268 billion on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, has completely soured on the Big Apple's increasingly progressive regulatory landscape. Using his personal family office vehicle, Amphitheatre LLC, Brin has capitulated and sold his entire stake back to the property fund's manager, A&E Real Estate. The property sell-off comes as a perfect storm of radical rent control laws and skyrocketing structural costs continue to squeeze landlords to a bloody pulp across...

Made out of the inner shell of a nacreous mollusk, also known as mother-of-pearl because of its role in the creation of pearls, it is...

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) is alarmed that Democrats might expand the membership of the Supreme Court It is true that leading Democrats, including former Vice President Kamala Harris, have welcomed “ideas, for example, that are about Supreme Court reform, including the notion of expanding the court.” But it is wrong to call it court-packing. In fact, the Supreme Court has already been strategically stacked by President Trump and his Senate allies, entrenching an illegitimate conservative supermajority. Adding four seats under the next Democratic trifecta would actually be unpacking the court. After Justice Antonin Scalia died on Feb 13. 2016, President...

The yen hit a fresh 40-year low against the dollar in Asia on Wednesday morning, keeping traders on high alert for possible currency intervention by the Japanese government. Ongoing expectations for a gradual pace of interest-rate increases by the Bank of Japan, combined with growing prospects for the Federal Reserve to raise the Fed funds rate this year, are pressuring the yen lower and the dollar higher. The dollar's fresh 40-year high against the yen is "leaving markets on watch for stronger verbal warnings or outright intervention from Japanese authorities," said Taylor Nugent, senior economist at National Australia Bank, in...

President Trump announced on Tuesday that the Republican Party would hold an unusual midterm convention in September in Dallas as he seeks to mobilize his party before the fall elections. Party conventions are typically held only in presidential election years. But Mr. Trump became enamored with the idea of a splashy midterm convention last year, and party officials have been planning the logistics of the event for months. The convention will be held from Sept. 9-10, Mr. Trump said. “It has never been done before, and will be a truly Historic Event,” he wrote on Truth Social, his social media...

German supporters left Boston shell-shocked on Monday after their World Cup squad fell to a scrappy Paraguay team in a penalty shootout during the Round of 32. The devastation, it seems, has broken even the team’s most optimistic and joyful supporter. Freddy, or @FreddyLA7 as his handle would read, became the viral sensation of this World Cup. A wide-eyed German youngster, Freddy gained a (seemingly organic) following in the lead-up to the World Cup by posting his travels throughout the United States, discovering the innocent joys of late-night Taco Bell, diverse landscapes, and Ella Langley as he and his German...

Democrats’ widespread dissatisfaction and anger with their party leadership and a push for...
