TOP STORIES
ILLINOIS TO BE RULED BY FOREIGN POWERS? – Billionaire seditionist J.B. Pritzker appears to have bought himself a state, Illinois by buying his way into the governor’s office, a power he is now using to transform Illinois from an American state to a socio-fascist one. We’ve been covering his numerous laws he’s passed over just the past two months. Among them is a law that allows non-citizens to be cops, a move all police associations are against in his state. Now that he has passed the law, foreign nationals will be able to infiltrate our police departments in Illinois with ease, and there’s nothing that can be done so long as Pritzker is governor and his “laws” are not rightly struck down.

CHINA’S DEBT ECONOMY RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS – A Deputy Dean of the Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance, Shu Ning, finally said the quiet part out loud when addressing the dramatic rise of the Chinese economy over the past 50 years and the dilemma it now faces. Ning said, “The traditional way of stimulating the economy, through a credit boom and leveraging, has reached an end.” The collapse of China’s property sector and the fast-approaching bankruptcy of its local governments is the fruit of this fact, that China’s days of gaming the system is over.

CHRISTIAN ACTIVIST CANNOT BE CENSORED FOR “DEADNAMING” TRANS “WOMAN” – A Federal Judge from the U.S. District Court in Wyoming ruled that a Christian Activist was not harassing a trans “woman” by listing his name in a sign that read “God created male and female and Artemis Langford is a male.” The activist, Pastor Todd Schmidt, was protesting a decision by the University of Wyoming to force a sorority to allow a male posing as a female to be allowed to become a member. The Judge ruled that the debate could not be made, that a man is not a woman, without mentioning the fact that Langford is a man and not a woman. GO DEEPER

ARGENTINA ELECTION SEES TWO RIGHT-LEANING PARTIES FINISH 1ST and 2ND – A run-off election will occur in Argentina after the recent election that saw Javier Milei representing the libertarian party take first place with 30 percent and the center right bloc coming in second at 28 percent. The left-center coalition, the ruling party, finished third. No matter the outcome of the run-off election, Argentia is about to throw off the burden of the left.

AUSTIN, TEXAS LOSES ITS POLICE CHIEF AS CITY TURNS ON POLICE – Austin Police Department Chief Joseph Chacon has abruptly resigned from the police force, citing the unwillingness of the city council to come to an agreement on a new union contract and the anti-American far left governments of the city that have sought to undermine the police department at every turn.
JAPAN KILLS “NINJA BEAR” THAT KILLED 66 COWS – Hunters in Japan called a possie together to track down a brown bear named “Ninja” who was responsible for the slaughtering of 66 cows in the eastern area of Hokkaido island.

NIGER JUNTA KICKED OUT OF AFRICA UNION – The AU Peace and Security Council came together to decide on what to do about the coup in Niger.

POLITICS
THANKS TO BIDEN EO, BELIEVE ALL WOMEN IS BACK IN COLLEGE SEXUAL ASSAULT CASES – The Mass Mailer President Joe Biden committee (aka the President) signed an executive order that undoes a lot of the changes the Trump administration made to Title XI. The most damaging change is the removal of due process provisions that affords individuals accused of sexual assault of getting a fair hearing to determine the efficacy of the claims.
Now, accusers will, if they happen to be female, almost always be assumed to be telling the truth (believe all women), making males attending college vulnerable to vendetta false accusations such as was occurring before the Trump administration gave the accused the right to a fair hearing.
GEORGIA GOVERNOR WON’T BACK CALLS TO IMPEACH LAWFARE ASSASSIN – Governor Brian Kemp (R-GA) has responded by calls from the Georgia State Senate to conduct an emergency session to assess whether the lawfare assassin, Georgia DA Fanni Willis, should be impeached for her gross violation of rule of law in bringing far-reaching and legally “creative” charges against Donald Trump and 18 other high-ranking republicans. He has stated he sees no evidence there is any need to conduct such a session. It should be noted he was also subpoenaed by the same lawfare assassin related to these indictments of republican leadership.

CHINA WATCH
CHINA’S MEGA-PORT IN PERU IS CATASTROPHIC FOR THE LOCALS – China’s massive port project in Chancay, Peru is causing landslides that are destroying people’s homes and roads as well. The work is being called into question as numerous collapses and other such catastrophes have occurred.
From dialogo-americas.com: “We are ceding sovereignty in the sea and on land. Why does China have to be the one in control of this strategic place and not the Peruvian government?” Miriam Arce, secretary of the organization Frente de Defensa de Chancay, the neighborhood group most closely following the port’s progress, told Todo Noticias.

PEOPLE ADVANCE
NORTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE OVERRIDES GOVERNOR’S VETO OF LAWS PROTECTING KIDS, WOMEN’S SPORTS – The North Carolina Legislature overrode 2 major vetoes by Democrat Governor Roy Cooper. HB 574 protects women’s sports from trans “women” invasion. HB 808 protects children from being chemically and physically castrated in the name of the trans ideology. The media is calling these laws “anti-LGBTQ,” exposing their advocacy of rainbow fascism, something these bills are justly fighting against.
AFTER STARBUCKS FIRED EMPLOYEE FOR RIGHTLY HAVING PATRONS ARRESTED, THEY NOW OWE HER $2.7 MILLION MORE – Shannon Phillips was fired from Starbucks and publicly excoriated by the company, who accused her of being racist for calling the cops on two men who were making a disturbance in her store. She was following company policy and they were breaking the law.
Because the men happened to be black, and she was white, Starbucks decided to attempt to destroy her. It turns out that plan did not work out. In June, Phillips was awarded $600,000 in compensatory damages and $25 million in punitive damages. Now, a U.S. district Judge has added $2.73 million for lost past and future wages.
