President Donald J Trump challenged Joe Biden to debate him any time, any place. Joe Biden responded with a barely coherent video stating he will accept Trump’s challenge by accepting two debates, one in June and one in September, both of which will be carried by DNC-CCP media outlets and conducted by DNC-CCP operatives. There will also not be a live audience.
Trump responded to Biden’s “offer” by sharing a post on Truth Social, stating, “It is my great honor to accept the CNN Debate against Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST PRESIDENT in the History of the United States and a true Threat to Democracy, on June 27th. Likewise, I accept the ABC News Debate against Crooked Joe on September 10th. Thank you, DJT!”
Joe Biden and Donald Trump will participate in their first debate of the 2024 election cycle on June 27 live on CNN in Atlanta. A second debate will take place on September 10 and will air on ABC News.
Trump told Fox News’ Brooke Singman, “I’ll be there,” and that he was “looking forward to being in beautiful Atlanta.”
The debate will air from the Atlanta studio at 9 pm.
Two Biden campaign sources told CNN that the debate will take place in the studio without a live audience.
If you read the DNC press, Michael Cohen hit a home run yesterday, May 14, 2024, when he testified for the second day in the Trump Hush Money trial. Cohen did claim he was directly told to pay off Stormy Daniels to keep the story from hurting Trump’s election chances in 2016.
He also came across as a man with a vendetta when he said he was “beyond angry” at Trump when he failed to pay Cohen the $130K Cohen paid out of his own pocket to keep Stormy Daniels quiet. He added, “I was truly insulted, personally hurt, didn’t understand it, made no sense. After all that I had gone through in terms of the campaign as well as things the Trump Organization was laying out, $130,000 to protect him, it was insulting that the gratitude shown back to me was to cut my bonus by two thirds.”
Michael Cohen, ex-lawyer for Donald Trump, delivered significant testimony on Monday in the trial concerning Trump’s alleged payment of hush money. His insights as a former insider could prove pivotal for prosecutors seeking to strengthen their case.
Sharing about his ten-year “amazing experience”, Cohen depicted his time with Trump as “amazing,” highlighting an atmosphere where Trump’s approval pushed him to take extreme measures, like lying, bullying, and issuing legal threats. His testimony revealed insights into his duties as Trump’s confidant, roles he previously described as being a “pitbull” and “fixer.”
… In a courtroom revelation, prosecutors played a secret recording wherein President Trump discussed a $150,000 payment, suggesting reimbursement for buying up a story that could harm his campaign.
The Biden administration is ordering a CCP-owned cryptocurrency mining company to sell land it owns which is located near a U.S. military base. The question is, how did they get permission to buy this land in the first place.
MineOne Partners is the company in question, which is formally owned by Chinese citizen stockholders, but that only exists so long as it tows the Chinse Communist Party line. The land in question is less than a mile away from a Wyoming Air Force base that stores ICBMs (Intercontinental ballistic missiles).
US President Joe Biden has ordered a Chinese-owned cryptocurrency miner and its partners to sell land they own near a US nuclear missile base, citing spying concerns.
MineOne Partners, which the White House says is majority-owned by Chinese citizens, has been given 120 days to sell the property, where it runs a crypto-mining operation.
The land is less than a mile (1.6km) away from an air force base in Wyoming, where intercontinental ballistic missiles are stored.
BBC News has contacted MineOne Partners and China’s embassy in the US for comment.
“The proximity of the foreign-owned Real Estate to a strategic missile base… and the presence of specialised and foreign-sourced equipment potentially capable of facilitating surveillance and espionage activities, presents a national security risk”, the White House said in a statement.
Francis E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming is home to Minuteman III nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles.
MineOne bought the land close to the military base in 2022 and later installed cryptocurrency mining equipment.
Representative Tom Suozzi (D-NY) was caught paying a Chinese Communist Party agent thousands of dollars to place ads in a Chinese-owned newspaper. Suozzi also happens to be on the House committee currently investigating China’s alleged ongoing genocide of the Uyghurs.
Suozzi declared to the press, “If they are in any way affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party, they’ll never get anything from us again. The CCP has tentacles trying to influence the distribution of information and disinformation throughout our society. There’s lesser-known examples like this and [China] has a very sophisticated effort.”
EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) paid thousands of dollars from his campaign to place ads in a Chinese-owned newspaper registered as a foreign agent. However, the House Democrat now claims this was done “unknowingly” and says he is reviewing the cash transfers….
Suozzi, co-chair of a congressional caucus raising concerns over China’s persecution of Uyghur ethnic minorities, made the comments in an interview with the Washington Examiner after the outlet reached out to him with a list of questions about over $7,200 that his campaign dished out in February to a New York-based subsidiary of Sing Tao U.S. The payments to Sing Tao were earmarked under “print advertising” in New York.
That Chinese-owned newspaper was forced by the Biden administration in 2021 to register as a foreign agent engaged in “political activity,” according to records on file with the Department of Justice. The newspaper also reportedly shares ties to the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department, which, according tothe U.S. government, coordinates the party’s intelligence gathering and influence operations overseas.
Based on congressional testimony from top military officials, Kash Patel, the former chief of staff of Donald Trump, is claiming that the military flat out ignored orders by President Trump to call the national guard to assure the January 6 protests didn’t get out of hand. The two main agitators of this alleged act of sedition were Ryan D. McCarthy, the Secretary of the Army, and General Mark Miley.
Patel said, “The critical issue here is that the Secretary of the Army and General Milley bypassed a direct, lawful command from President Trump, opting instead to delay the deployment of the National Guard on Jan. 6 for the sake of political optics, and in doing so violate the chain of command.”
Some could theorize the real insurrectionists were Miley, McCarthy, and those complicit with their actions, which includes most of the leadership of the DNC and some of the leadership of the RNC.
People at the highest levels of government reportedly bypassed a direct, lawful command from President Trump because they were concerned about “optics.”
Kash Patel, former chief of staff at the Department of Defense under President Donald Trump, insists recent closed-door congressional testimony demonstrates people at the highest levels of government willfully ignored an authorization by the former president to deploy troops to the Capitol on January 6th.
A New York Times article published last week outlines interviews and a public hearing with the House Administration Committee by multiple members of the Guard. The revelations can potentially dismantle the prevailing insurrection narrative in the media and shed light on political manipulations at the highest levels of government.
Ryan D. McCarthy, the Secretary of the Army at the time of the Capitol protest, according to the testimony, failed to deploy the National Guard to help Capitol Police restore order and instead “made a series of phone calls to lawmakers and members of the media.”
In yet another obvious conflict of interest, the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, the man overseeing the Trump NY Election fraud trial, works currently for a far-left lawfare assault group that has been actively working to get Trump removed from the 2024 Presidential ballot. Her name is Loren Merchan, and she has become the face of her family’s business, supporting the DNC-CCP’s efforts to dismantle the republic.
A company run by the daughter of the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s current New York case works for left-wing legal groups behind efforts to keep President Trump of the 2024 ballot and Chinese Communist Party-funded influence groups.
These revelatory business affiliation of Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter Loren Merchan, president and partner of Authentic Campaigns, follow previous reporting on the firm’s work for Democratic politicians including President Joe Biden and Rep. Adam Schiff.
Among the newly revealed clients of Judge Merchan’s daughter are the Brennan Center, which has filed lawsuits against the Trump administration and campaign over a dozen times, and the Asia Society.
The diary from Ashley Biden that exposed President Joe Biden’s alleged sexual assault of his own daughter was confirmed by Ashley Biden herself as belonging to her. The claims made in the diary by Ashley Biden outline a worried child who was upset her father was taking nude showers with her. She claims she was only writing “stream-of-consciousness” but stood behind the claims themselves, saying they were blown up out of proportion.
In an April 8, 2024 letter to Chief Judge Swain of New York, Ashley Biden, daughter of Joe Biden, verified that her diary, previously reported as stolen, is indeed authentic.
The diary, drawing significant public and media interest over allegations of Joe Biden’s perverted acts, ignited controversy after excerpts were leaked on the internet.
Ashley Biden’s letter was presented as evidence in a legal case against Aimee Harris, who was convicted of illegally taking and selling her personal journal.
In her letter, Ashley Biden expressed profound distress about the theft and subsequent public sharing of her private thoughts, which she characterized as “stream-of-consciousness” reflections intended for her own healing.
She stood by the content of her diary, asserting it was “grossly misinterpreted” and contained “lob false accusations that defame my character and those of the people I love.”
Aimee Harris, aged 39, found Ashley Biden’s diary at a halfway house in Palm Beach back in 2020 and then sold it to Project Veritas for $40,000. The Daily Mail reported that Ashley Biden, the youngest daughter of Joe Biden, had left her diary beneath a mattress at the Palm Beach rehabilitation facility.
Mercenaries have existed for most of human history, likely dating from before the first established settlements, and we have certainly covered them here, in the past. While many find the practice unsavory – and it certainly can be – the fact is that it is rarely an overly dangerous occupation; if mercenaries get slammed, it is almost always because they badly failed to understand the situation they were walking into.
However, since the bizarre incident in August of 2023, where Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Russian Private Military Company (PMC) then known as the “Wagner Group”, apparently tried to stage a coup d’état against the government of Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, the popular news media has seemingly gone “radio silent” on any talk of PMC’s that are not Russian in origin.
Beginning in the early 1990’s, with the rise of the South African company Executive Outcomes, the traditional model of mercenary endeavors, characterized by word of mouth recruiting in “ex-soldier bars” and paid for with briefcases of cash in shady deals in meeting rooms entered via the building’s back door, began to give way to a much more regularized and businesslike system, complete with formal and legally-drawn contracts, much like the old “condottieri” practices of Renaissance Italy.

Executive Outcomes conducted full-scale military operations, deploying combat troops, armored vehicles, aircraft and ships against various hostile groups throughout Africa. Unfortunately for the company, they were too efficient and effective, regularly making a mockery of United Nation’s “peacekeeping” operations. Political and economic pressure against South Africa brought an end to that phase of the company – much to the cost of the people of Sierra Leone.
But Executive Outcomes was not alone, by any means. Many “pseudo” mercenary companies rose during the 1990’s, amid the fallout from the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. Military Professional Resources, Inc. (MPRI) supplied teams of instructors to various non-Serbian states that arose from the breakup of Yugoslavia, and helped train the Croatian Army for the decisive “Operation Storm” in August if 1995, later moving on to providing higher-level staff and command training to the armies of many small nations around the world.
At this point, it should be pointed out that MPRI was founded in 1987, and was headed almost exclusively by retired United States senior officers, including Carl Vuono, a former Chief of Staff of the US Army. In effect, MPRI was a “deniable cutout” for the US government…
…In much the same way as Blackwater – now Constellis, following its corporate merger with the Triple Canopy PMC in 2014 – was essentially a deniable extension of the US government.
While most of the 90’s-era PMC’s restricted themselves to training and providing support functions to militaries around the world, such as DynCorp, which focused mainly on aviation and vehicle maintenance, and Vinnell, which focused on creating logistics and supply systems (things many world armies have only a very sketchy knowledge of), many companies – most operating out of Great Britain – offer a much wider array of services. Companies like KBR provide everything from base construction to food services support.
However, all of these companies engage in both training and providing actual “shooter teams” to their clients. In fact, Vinnell supervised at least part of the training of the Saudi Arabian National Guard during the 1970’s, and was initially given the contract to rebuild the Iraqi Army in the aftermath of the 2003 invasion of that country…although the US government was apparently highly displeased with their efforts.
But to return to the present day, there are far more PMC’s operating openly throughout the world than the “popular press” seems to be aware of, such as the tiny Dyck Advisory Group from South Africa, that fought in support of the nation of Mozambique’s military forces in the Battle of Palma in 2021.
While the Wagner Group has apparently rebranded itself (in the face of competition) into the “Africa Corps” (really, the jokes write themselves, at this point), the rebranding – inspired, undoubtedly, by Wagner veterans’ very recent experiences in savage, all-out urban warfare in Ukraine – has resulted in a mature organization, offering (the support from the Russian government, obviously) a wide range of services to the nations of Africa’s “coup belt” , perhaps permanently breaking the back of France’s ancien regime in Africa once and for all. The reason for this is very simple: African’s in the former French colonies of the continent are so sick of French interference in their nations’ affairs, which has been happening since the 1950’s. The Russians may not be the “nice guys”, but they get the job done, and don’t moralize about ‘civilizing’ their “Little Brown Brothers”.

But recently, a new play has “entered the chat”: The People’s Republic of China.
Communist China, as part of its world-spanning “Belt & Road Initiative”, has been quietly creating a wide group of companies focused in both the private military, as well as the private security (PSC) spheres. This allows Beijing all the normal advantages of deniability internationally, but also offers a little-referenced advantage domestically.
Generally speaking, national populations tend to be very touchy about the use of their military forces – staffed, usually, by their own literal sons and daughters – in both domestic security, as well as in “foreign adventures”. At the same time, few if any, of the same populations care over-much if “mercenaries” (even mercenaries from their own nation) end up as casualties in some foreign land, because – unlike the regular armed forces – mercenaries are placing themselves in harm’s way for mere money, not the immediate defense of the nation.
Beijing saw these advantages as it remodeled its economy in the 1990s, then carefully watched both the Western and Russian experiences. As a result, it has been quietly moving PMC’s and PSC’s into countries throughout the world, giving it a pseudo-military presence in all of these nations. It remains unclear how many of those states realize the implications of Chinese PMC’s and PSC’s.
As we move into the middle part of 2024, PMC’s from around the world are very much alive, and doing very well, albeit more or less out of the view of the popular press.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has confirmed the rumor that the White House was withholding munitions delivery to Israel due to Israel’s continued commitment to a Rafah offensive. The Secretary claimed the U.S. was reviewing some “near-term security assistance shipments” but U.S. support for Israel is “ironclad.”
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the administration was also reviewing some “near-term security assistance shipments” to Israel, but added U.S. support for Israel is “ironclad.”
U.S. President Joe Biden decided to hold back delivery of high payload munitions to Israel because Washington believes a possible Israeli offensive in the Gaza city of Rafah could put civilians at risk, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Wednesday.
Austin added that the administration was also reviewing some “near-term security assistance shipments” to Israel.
Austin was the first senior Biden administration official to publicly explain a possible shift in U.S. policy on arming Israel. The U.S. is Israel’s biggest arms supplier.
The Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Mark Warner (D-IN), has perhaps accidently revealed that the Biden administration is back to strongly encouraging social media companies to censor content according to the direction of Biden-directed government agencies.
The Federalist garnered this comment from the FBI on this confession: “The FBI remains committed to combatting foreign malign influence operations, including in connection with our elections. That effort includes sharing specific foreign threat information with state and local election officials and private sector companies when appropriate and rigorously consistent with the law.”
Senator Mark Warner, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, revealed at a briefing during the RSA Conference that intelligence agencies, including the FBI, have resumed discussions with social media companies in preparation for the upcoming 2024 election.
This announcement coincides with the ongoing hearings at the Supreme Court regarding Murthy v. Missouri, a case focusing on allegations that federal agencies pressured social media platforms to remove specific content, such as COVID-19 vaccine-related information, prior to the 2020 presidential election.
Warner noted that these communications between government agencies and social media platforms resumed around the time when several judges seemed inclined to support the executive branch’s position on the matter, as reported by NextGov.
