TOP STORIES

MINTPRESS NEWS RUNS INTERFERENCE FOR CCP IN NEW ANTI-TAIWAN AGIT PROP PIECE – Far-left sites are pushing narrative Taiwan is doing nefarious things to trick Americans into being Pro-Taiwan and anti-China, including targeting “Chinese-Americans” for prosecution, working with the FBI to do so. The CCP propaganda pushed by the far left further shows why this writer refers to the Democratic Party (now fully controlled and led by far-left anti-Americanists) as the DNC-CCP, to reflect this unholy frenemy alliance between two corrupt ideologies who share two common enemies, the Church of the one true living God and the American Republic. GO DEEPER
FEDS WARN QUESTIONING ELECTION RESULTS COULD LEAD TO VIOLENCE AGAINST ELECTION WORKERS – A story from Fox10 reads “Election Workers have gotten death threats and warnings they will be lynched, the U.S. government says.” The story opens up saying “more than a dozen people nationally have been charged with threatening election workers by a Justice Department unit trying to stem the tide of violent and graphic threats against people who count and secure the vote.” The article accuses Trump supporters questioning the 2020 election of being behind this, using the old trope “Some point to…” and “Experts fear….”
It is agit prop aimed at chilling any questioning of the 2024 election that they already plan to “steal,” if need be (that is, if they don’t convince enough Americans that the world will come to an end if they vote for anyone but DNC-CCP-approved candidates). GO DEEPER
ELON MUSK’S X TO REVERT TO TWITTER-STYLE CENSORSHIP FOR 2024 ELECTION – X, “the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated” is creating a 2024 election censorship team “supporting people’s right to accurate and safe political discourse on X.” The DNC-CCP-adjacent platform larping at being a free speech platform announced plans to expand its “safety and elections teams to focus on combatting misinformation, surfacing inauthentic accounts and closely monitoring the platform for emerging threats.”
This seems to be more about attracting anti-Americanist corporate sponsors, such as Disney, the NFL, or even Walmart at this point, rather than trying to serve the general public, the general “American” public. GO DEEPER
ANIMAL TESTING COULD SOON BE A THING OF THE PAST THANKS TO MINI-ORGAN LIBRARIES – CRISO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization) have created what they are calling a library that is filled with mini organs (also called organoids) that can be used for a wide range of testing that was previously done on animals. The library was created from 150 patients and was used for pre-clinical testing.
DROUGHT LEADING TO SHIP PILE-UP IN PANAMA CANAL – A drought in central America is leaving the Panama canal unable to serve as many ships per day as usual, leading to a growing line of ships hoping to get through, threatening our supply chain. If the drought doesn’t end by in the next few months, America’s supply chain will experience more regular disruptions according to Panama administrator Ricaurte Vásquez Morales.

STATEN ISLAND WANTS OUT OF NY – In the wake of the growing “migrant crisis” and other far-left, anti-American policies of Mayor Eric Adams, Representative Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island/South Brooklyn) is calling on Staten Island to secede from NYC. She said, “If you’re not gonna do your job, mayor, then let Staten Island secede,” she said. “We didn’t vote for your policies. We should not be subjected to your policies and we’re gonna keep on turning out. Let Staten Island secede.”

POLITICS

CAPITOL ATTENDING PHYSICIAN SENDS MIXED SIGNALS IN DIAGNOSING MCCONNELL – The Capitol Attending Physician has cleared Mitch McConnel for work, but some are questioning whether that should have happened. The physician revealed the Senator suffered a concussion that will produce freezing up moments that will happen as a side effect of the concussion, compounded if the patient is dehydrated. Meanwhile, a growing number of Republican Senators are meeting to determine if it’s time to select a new leader.
MORE DNC-CCP STATES MOVE TO FREEZE TRUMP OUT OF ELECTION – The party that constantly lauds “Democracy” is moving aggressively to prevent it. A Leftist group called the opposite of what it really stands for “Free Speech for the People” along with another far-left group, “Mi Familia Vota Education Fund,” are sending letters to five top state election officials in five different states to seek to remove President Donald Trump from the Presidential ballot. This is done in the name of free speech and democracy, of course (not that we’re a democracy, we’re not, we’re a republic).
