What Does US Companies Owned by China Mean? The phrase US companies owned by China refers to American businesses in which Chinese entities hold ownership, control, or meaningful financial influence. This ownership is not limited to outright takeovers. It spans a spectrum that includes full acquisitions, majority control, minority stakes with strategic rights, and indirect ownership through layered corporate structures. To make this clearer, it helps to break Chinese ownership into distinct and practical categories, each with real-world examples. Full Ownership and Complete Acquisitions In some cases, a Chinese company acquires 100% of a US business. The US company continues...

A D.C. police officer was ordered held without bond until his next appearance in court on child sex abuse charges. Lt. Matthew Mahl was arrested in Harford County, Maryland, Tuesday on charges of solicitation of sex from a minor and solicitation of child pornography. He has been with the Metropolitan Police Department for 23 years, most recently assigned to special operations, and 10 years ago became the first openly gay chairman of the police union.

From fake impeachments to battles with a KGB-created religious movement, Trump is engaged in a “to the political death” battle with the left. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just released another batch of declassified documents that lay bare how the 2019 Trump impeachment was built on second-hand hearsay, anonymous tips, and a coordinated narrative pushed by intelligence officials and Democrat operatives. At the same time, we’ve witnessed the Democrats’ sudden, open allegiance with a Chicago Pope. The impeachment wasn’t real, and Trump’s not engaged in a religious war. Instead, both fights—the attacks at home and in the Vatican—are the...

On Saturday’s The Weekend: Primetime, MS NOW hosts Antonia Hylton and Charles Coleman Jr. combined for a remarkable escalation—from stylistic nitpicking to smearing an entire group of Christians as extremists. Hylton quickly pivoted to a jaw-dropping—and wholly unsupported—claim: that Trump is surrounded by religious advisers who are “telling him that he is God,” or effectively God’s representative on Earth. Hylton offered no evidence for the assertion, presenting it instead as her personal “read” based on following “extremist” Christian figures. But she didn’t name a single adviser making such a claim—let alone anyone literally telling Trump he is God. The segment...

The judgement came just 24-hours after a lower court judge continued to block above-ground rebuild on the site of the former East Wing. AP reports a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit put on temporary hold the order by U.S. District Judge Richard Leon halting part of the $400 million project. The ruling marks a substantial victory for the president in his effort to redesign the storied American structure. Construction is now expected...

Lawyers for murder-accused Ben Roberts-Smith are considering an application to permanently halt proceedings because of concerns that he may not get a fair trial, as the decorated soldier condemned the “unnecessary spectacle” caused by police arresting him in front of his daughters at Sydney airport. In a statement delivered to reporters on Sunday, Mr Roberts-Smith vowed to fight five war crime charges brought against him, saying he had been targeted as part of a decade-long “campaign” painting his conduct in ­Afghanistan as improper. The Australian understands that while it could be years before Mr Roberts-Smith faces trial, his legal team,...

The Israeli army killed Hezbollah’s Bint Jbeil sector commander, Ali Rida Abbas. More than 1,800 Hezbollah terrorists were eliminated during “Operation Roaring Lion,” which began with joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran on Feb. 28 and was halted by a 14-day ceasefire between Washington and Tehran on April 7, the Israel Defense Forces said on Sunday. Lebanon-based Hezbollah joined the war in support of the Islamic Republic on March 2, violating a November 2024 U.S.-mediated ceasefire that ended more than a year of fighting after the Iranian proxy began attacking the Jewish state a day after Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, massacre....

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" (Matt. 5:8). You have a part to play in becoming pure in heart. Purifying a heart is the gracious and miraculous work of the Holy Spirit, but there are some things we must do in response to His prompting. First, we must admit we can't purify our own hearts. Proverbs 20:9 says, "Who can say, 'I have cleansed my heart, I am pure from my sin?'" The implied answer: no one! Next, we must put our faith in Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice on the cross is the basis for...

Daily Readings from the USCCB“Rabbi, when did you get here?” Jesus answered them and said, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled. Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal.” John 6:26–27The crowd desired one thing, but Jesus desired another. This reality is common to us all. Earlier in this chapter from John’s Gospel, Jesus miraculously...
