Visits show TikTok's extensive clout inside the Biden administration Executives at high-powered firms hired by TikTok for lobbying and strategic consulting visited the White House at least 40 times in the past year, according to official White House visitor records. The Chinese social media platform and its parent company, ByteDance, are mounting a massive public relations blitz as lawmakers are seeking to ban the app due to national security, espionage, and data privacy concerns. ByteDance and TikTok have spent $13 million on federal lobbying since 2019 and hired heavyweight firms such as influential Democratic public relations shop SKDK. Those hired...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

In 1999 Colonels Qiao Laiang and Wang Xiangsui of the People's Liberation Army Air Force (Communist China) wrote the landmark book Unrestricted Warfare. The essence of the colonels' thinking was their adoption of Machiavelli's thought as applied to war and expanding the concept of war beyond the clash of armed forces: Achieve objectives by means fair or foul, that is the most important spiritual legacy of this Italian political thinker of the Renaissance. In the Middle Ages, this represented a breakthrough against romantic chivalry and the declining tradition of knighthood. It meant using means, some possibly comprehensive, without restraint to...

‘There are also those who claim that our reform efforts would insure illegal immigrants,” President Obama said in pitching his signature national health-care program to a joint session of Congress. “This, too, is false.” Now, President Biden is looking, in effect, to prove Wilson was right about the law. Biden has announced plans to use administrative action to make DACA recipients eligible for Medicaid and Obamacare. DACA, of course, is the administrative amnesty that Obama imposed after Congress refused to pass the Dream Act. The recipients are several hundred thousand people who illegally came here, or claim to have come...

he mRNA vaccines were released globally in early 2021 with the slogan ‘safe and effective.’ Unusually for a new class of medicine, they were soon recommended by public health authorities for pregnant women. By late 2021, working-age women, including those who were pregnant, were being thrown out of employment for not agreeing to be injected. Those who took the mRNA vaccines did so based on trust in health authorities – the assumption being that they would not have been approved if the evidence was not absolutely clear. The role of regulatory agencies was to protect the public and, therefore, if...

A 6-year-old girl and her parents were injured by gunfire on Tuesday night after a basketball rolled down a residential street in North Carolina and into a man’s yard, enraging him, neighbors told WSOC-TV. Witnesses told the station that the gunman ran up and down the street, firing until he ran out of bullets.

KOSTYANTYNIVKA, Ukraine — Standing outside her home, pointing out the rocket crater in her driveway, a Ukrainian resident of the front-line town was angry and quick to assign responsibility for the attack.“They are killing us,” she said. “Our own guys are shelling us.”The woman, named Natasha, blamed the rocket strike in Kostyantynivka not on the Russian forces that have been attacking the nearby city of Bakhmut and surrounding towns for the past eight months, but on her own forces, the Ukrainian army.A year into the war, despite suffering months of artillery and rocket strikes at the hands of the Russian...

Hunter Biden’s hard drive, which he’s now conceded is legitimate, proved that Hunter was an exceptionally debauched character. Drugs and prostitutes dominated his life for a long time, and his own family didn’t trust him around teenage girls. That’s why it’s easy to believe Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s as-yet unsubstantiated claim that the Biden family was benefitting from human trafficking both in the U.S. and Eastern Europe—including Russia and Ukraine. Just because she says it doesn’t mean it’s true, so the real shock is that we live in a world in which it seems possible, even likely. It took a...

Place the beans in a large bowl and cover them with three times as much water as you have beans. If any beans...

Former first lady Michelle Obama on Thursday said she hopes “enough becomes enough” amid recent gun violence incidents and mistaken-address shootings in New York and Missouri. “I hope and pray that, at some point, enough becomes enough,” Obama told Gayle King on “CBS Mornings,” adding that she and her husband, the former President Barack Obama, wondered when that point would be throughout their time in the White House. A 20-year-old woman was fatally shot last week by a homeowner in New York after the car in which she was a passenger mistakenly pulled into the man’s driveway, according to police....

Iran's navy forced a U.S. submarine to surface as it entered the Gulf, Iranian navy commander Shahram Irani told state television on Thursday, in the latest report of an apparent confrontation between Iranian and U.S. forces in the Gulf.

"Are you a degenerate," asked the security officer interrogating a young bisexual woman arrested during the recent anti-government protests in Iran. The interrogator had searched the woman's phone and come across her intimate conversations with her girlfriend. Warning: This article contains language that some readers may find offensive.

Chipping Away at Our Nation’s Foundation The left seems to delight in chipping away at our nation’s Judeo-Christian foundation. A recent example occurred when President Biden’s appointee to head NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center was sworn into office. https://new.americanprophet.org/chipping-away-at-our-nations-foundation/

It has often been speculated what would happen to this nation if a decadently compromised president who willingly succumbed to extortion from both domestic and foreign interests were elected. That possibility is no longer in the realm of speculation. For the past 27 months the United States has experienced this devastating eventuality, as no president in this nation’s history has been as susceptible to domestic and international blackmail as Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. Nonetheless, in their unbridled hubris, the Democrats' puppet masters turned to Joe Biden whom they could portray as a “moderate” in order to defeat Donald Trump. While...
