....According to the FBI and Department of Justice, Xu had since 2013 used multiple aliases to target US and third-country aviation companies and experts in that field. He would invite them to China on academic pretexts and then slowly lure them to espionage. Xu's arrest and conviction are unique and shed light on a shadowy conflict in which Beijing is trying to wrestle global supremacy from the US using any means possible. Military secrets aren't the only target. The US's top counterintelligence agency estimates that Beijing steals $200 billion to $600 billion worth of economic secrets from the US every...

The recently released book A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity, does what it says on the tin. Described as “a crucial account of the lived experiences of this hidden population”, its author Allyn Walker makes an argument for de-stigmatising adults who are sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children. Walker gives a resounding pat on the back to those Minor-Attracted People (MAPs) who choose to not rape children. They (because Walker identifies as transgender) said in one interview that it is important to say “MAP” out of respect for the terminology that “members of that group want...

So is every top Democrat who accused President Trump of Russian collusion. “A single, ominous question now hangs over the White House: What could possibly cause President Trump to put the interests of Russia over those of the United States?” Senator Schumer insinuated in 2018. Why is Schumer putting Russia’s interests ahead of those of the United States by blocking Nord Stream 2 sanctions on Putin’s pet pipeline into Europe? Schumer, along with a number of other top Democrats, is a beneficiary of campaign contributions from top Democrat fundraiser Vincent Roberti whose lobbying firm was paid over $8.5 million by...

Former President Donald Trump’s attorney on Monday argued that allowing Congress to subpoena his client’s financial records and revealing them "to the whole world" would give the Upper Chamber too much power over the president. "The committee says it needs a detailed understanding and full accounting of President Trump's finances in order to legislate," attorney Cameron Norris said on Monday... "No prior Congress has demanded this kind of information, but every future Congress will if this Court upholds the subpoena. There's no principled way to limit the fallout to President Trump."....

Hospitality businesses could be shut within weeks under Government plans to halt the spread of the Covid variant as Boris Johnson faces the biggest revolt of his premiership today, with a third of Tory backbenchers preparing to vote against controversial 'Plan B' vaccine passports. Whitehall officials have drawn up proposals to limit the number of people allowed in pubs and restaurants across the country amid mounting concern over the so-called 'Omicron' strain, according to The Sun. The plans could trigger a wave of New Year's Eve party cancellations and further decimate the industry, with MPs now privately warning that they...

It wasn’t a good day for the National Football League’s draconian Covid-19 policies. They should be the shining example of how to handle the coronavirus with over 94% of their players and nearly 100% of their coaches and staff “fully vaccinated.” But being the shining example would require the vaccines to actually work at stopping Covid-19, which they do not. As a result, the league has become the perfect example of the opposite conclusion: Medical tyranny within private industry is a path to failure.On Monday, the league recorded their highest number of Covid-19 positive tests ever with 37. Of those,...

California is experiencing a disturbing wave of flash mob robberies, a cargo ship crisis, and is tied with Nevada for the highest unemployment in the country. However, what do our politicos squander time trying to control? Food waste.

The effort is designed to keep landfills in the most populous U.S. state clear of food waste...

In this attack, 10 Christians were killed when a mob of 500 Fulani militants swept into their village. You would assume that an attack of this scale would elicit a response from the Nigerian government. However, attacks of this nature have been ongoing for the past 20 years and the silence is deafening. While the government claims to be doing its best to curb the violence, the reality paints a different picture of a Muslim-led government allowing...

The freshman congressman tore into the transportation secretary’s spouse over the recent Instagram story that saw Buttigieg make headlines.... ..."When the Washington elites start thinking they're victims just because they have to pay their bills, expect that mentality to spill over into the radical socialist policies of the Biden administration," the North Carolina Republican continued. Buttigieg’s Instagram story was panned online after the secretary's spouse posted about his disdain with his husband’s boss’ decision to restart student loan...
