    A week after a mysterious virus began to spread in China, the State Department enacted a level 4 travel advisory against the country on Thursday night. Citing the Coronavirus outbreak, the State Department advised U.S. citizens to not travel to China for any reason – and for anyone currently in China to leave as soon as possible. The State Department’s decision comes on the heels of the World Health Organization declaring the Coronavirus a global emergency. The declaration from the WHO seems suspiciously delayed – announced a full week after the virus accelerated spread in China. However, if you look...

    "Israel will continue to defend its citizens and uphold its national dignity, with or without António Guterres," he concluded. Israel's foreign minister declared UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres 'persona non grata' and was henceforth banning him from entering Israel, according to a post on X/Twitter on Wednesday. The ban on entry, said FM Israel Katz, was due to Guterres's failure to "unequivocally condemn" Iran's massive missile attack on Israel. "Anyone who cannot unequivocally condemn Iran's heinous attack on Israel, as almost every country in the world has done, does not deserve to step foot on Israeli soil," Katz wrote. He...

    VIDEOUntil recently, former federal judge J. Michael Luttig's shtick has been to just idly sit back like a fat Buddha and sadly whine about how Donald Trump just keeps winning despite all the Lawfare tossed at him. However, the recent Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity appears to have broken poor Luttig to the extent that his shtick has switched up and he has gone full angry Drama Queen chock full of absolutely HILARIOUS overacting about how Trump has won yet again.

    When Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the US Congress at the end of July, he named four Israeli soldiers who he said had been heroes since Hamas’s October 7 massacre. The first of the troops was young Israel Defense Forces officer 2nd Lt. Avichail Reuven, who ran 12 kilometers (8 miles) to the Gaza border on that Saturday to help fight off the terrorists. Reuven was at his parents’ home in the southern city of Kiryat Malachi on October 7 when he was awakened by sirens. He was still in the midst of officer training at the time, but after...

    The adopted son of former Kentucky governor Matt Bevin says he was abandoned in Jamaica after being rescued from a school accused of abusing its students. During his time in office from 2015 to 2019, the Republican and his wife Glenna often spoke of their four adopted children from Ethiopia and their desire to reform Kentucky's 'broken' adoption and foster care system. But one of the couple's adopted sons, 17, has now claimed he was abandoned by the Bevins after being rescued from the Atlantis Leadership Academy for troubled teens in Jamaica in February. The boy, nicknamed Noah for his...

    London (PTI) -- Anjem Choudary, a radical Islamist preacher with dual British and Pakistani nationality, was on Tuesday jailed for life with a minimum term of 28 years behind bars by a UK court for directing a terrorist organisation.Choudary, 57, had been found guilty at Woolwich Crown Court of directing Al-Muhajiroun (ALM) and encouraging support for the proscribed organisation through online meetings. Sentencing him at the same court to a prison term means he would be in his 80s by the time he can seek parole. Justice Mark Wall told Choudary his behaviour was of the “highest culpability”. “Organisations such...
  • False banana: Is Ethiopia's enset 'wondercrop' for climate change?

    BBC ^ | 1/21/22 | Helen Briggs
    Scientists say the plant enset, an Ethiopian staple, could be a new superfood and a lifesaver in the face of climate change. The banana-like crop has the potential to feed more than 100 million people in a warming world, according to a new study. The plant is almost unknown outside of Ethiopia, where it is used to make porridge and bread. Research suggests the crop can be grown over a much larger range in Africa.

    And the terrorists can thank Rep. Ilhan Omar. After six months of Iran using its Houthi Jihadis to impose a blockade near Yemen while defying Biden to do anything about it, the Islamic global terror state is moving on to a Somali blockade.Current reports suggest that the Houthis, an Iranian Shiite terror group, is negotiating to provide weapons to Yemen’s Al-Shabaab, a Sunni Jihadist group allied with Al Qaeda, to expand Iran’s control over shipping. While Al-Shabaab has operated using the conventional Al Qaeda playbook of rifles and IEDs, the Houthis (pictured above) can offer upgraded drones and missile technology.And...

    Ethiopia has chosen to greatly increase its use of technology and its standard of living. The Ethiopia of today is absolutely nothing like the Ethiopia that people my age (I’m 53) saw on TV when we were growing up. Back then, the news blamed Ethiopia’s famines on drought. Now, this video says that during several recent droughts, there was no famine, and that was because of the choices that they made regarding irrigation, modern farming methods, and other advances in technology. The same video also shows Ethiopians manufacturing clothing for export to rich countries, and they pointed out that Ethiopia...

    “Federal contractors in Tennessee have been resettling refugees from countries including Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sudan, listed in the PRB report as among the ‘Top 10 Countries of Origin’ where FGM is practiced.” Did those federal contractors think that after bringing all those refugees into Tennessee that they would not see a rise in the incidence of FGM in Tennessee? No doubt they never gave it a moment’s thought at all. “U.S. based pediatrician and fellow at the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Hatem Elhagaly (AKA ‘Hatem Al Haj’), listed as an Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America...

    Russian President Vladimir Putin insisted last August that a drop in the importance of the U.S. dollar was "irreversible"—but there appears to be no sign that the global economy is turning its back on the greenback. "The U.S. Dollar was used in 48% of international payment transactions last year, the highest level in more than a decade. But Brics...," it said next to the graph, which showed the euro making 23.2 percent of transactions and the Chinese yuan way behind at 3.47 percent. "BRICS countries would like their currencies to be used in world trade, but each has a major...

    Healthcare rapists As shocking as the revelations about mass rapes of women and children by UN “peacekeepers” and “teachers” may be, even more distressing is that UN employees supposedly dedicated to healthcare have carried out those very same atrocities and are led by an actual terrorist. As Frontline News previously reported, the World Health Organization (WHO), a UN agency, is headed by a terrorist who keeps rapists and pedophiles on staff giving them the power to abuse the poorest people in the world. He even flies these staff members to towns in the developing world, with fancy rental cars and...

    Moscow has been on a drive to replace the use of the US dollar in international trade, but there are barrels of Russian oil stuck at sea due to issues with paying in alternative currencies. Shipments of Russian Sokol grade crude oil to state-owned Indian Oil Corp, or IOC, have been delayed by payment issues, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing two sources familiar with the matter. The seller is the state-owned Russian oil company Rosneft. The problem arose because Rosneft unit selling the oil hasn't been able to open a bank account in the United Arab Emirates to receive payments...

    Last February, the European Union approved a law that would ban the sale of combustion engine cars in its member states from 2035 — joining several US states, Canada, Japan, Singapore, India, New Zealand, and a number of other nations with similar bans already on the books (see chart, below). Ethiopia, however, isn’t waiting for 2035. Ethiopia is trying to ban ICE vehicles now. According to a news update from the parliament, Alemu Sime, the Ethiopian Minister for Transport and Logistics, announced the completion of the nations Logistics Master Plan Monday. Details were scarce, but he has announced that, “a...

    The deputy minister of foreign affairs of Somaliland called Omar's recent comments "lacking in common decency." Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), a progressive member of the so-called “Squad” and a Mogadishu native, is facing calls for her resignation after, critics say, she promised to do all she could to prevent a Somaliland deal with Ethiopia over access to the sea. “The language she employed was regrettably unbecoming of both the office she holds and the constituents she represents,” wrote Rhoda Elmi, deputy foreign affairs minister of Somaliland, which declared its independence from Somalia in 1991 but which most most countries, including...

    Somalian refugee Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) gave a speech to the Somali community in Minnesota on Saturday that has gone viral thanks to English translation subtitles. The translations have Omar saying she and her fellow Somalis are Somali first and Muslim second–with no mention of being American. Omar also said she represents Somalia in Congress and told the audience that they control the U.S. government’s Somalia policy. Outraged Americans called for Omar’s expulsion from the House of Representatives. Reporting on the speech is sketchy as to the location, however a banner can be seen in the video with a partial...
