TOP STORIES
SPIKE IN LGBTQ IDENTITY AMONG GEN Z’ERS – A new Gallop poll shows bisexual identity has multiplied by a factor of 75, lesbian identity has multiplied by a factor of 20 percent, and trans identity has multiplied by 10 percent. The question is, what’s behind this spike in LGBTQ identity? A George Mason economist suggests it’s due to “recruitment and the media,” and that recruitment begins in our public schools.
DEMS WIN CONTROL OF PA’S 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION – A heretical “pastor” who preaches LGBTQ pride instead of the gospel won a key County Commissioner seat in Dauphin Couty Pa that will give the Democrats control over how the PA 2024 Presidential election will happen. Democrat Justin Douglas plans to push forward the anti-American revolution by assuring Pennsylvania allows more mail-in-ballots and more ballot “curing” to assure the Democrats win the state even if they don’t. This is the first time Democrats have controlled this county in 100 years.
CHINA’S ONLINE THUG MACHINE TARGETS AMERICANS FOR HARASSMENT, THREATS – The Chinese government has built a massive online social media war machine that attempts to intimidate Americans, especially Chinese Americans, from expressing unfavorable facts and opinions targeting the Chinese Communist Party. CNN has produced a report that documents the extent of the “troll” wars being conducted by the CCP.
DANA WHITE WARNS BUD LIGHT NOT TO ATTEMPT TO CENSOR UFC – Dana White alleges a “major sponsor” attempted to force the UFC to remove a tweet from their corporate X account featuring former President Donald J Trump. He informed his audience he told the sponsor to “go f$%k yourself.” There is little doubt the major sponsor is Bud Light, which would negate what little good will they might have built up by sponsoring what has been an anti-woke company, the UFC.
IDF CLAIMS TO HAVE STORMED HAMAS STRONGHOLD IN GAZA’S BIGGEST HOSPITAL – The IDF has released a statement on social media that it has conducted “a precise and targeted operation in a specified area on the Shifa Hospital.” Results of the assault have not yet been released.

OPEN BORDERS COSTING AMERICANS ALMOST HALF A TRILLION A YEAR – A report by the House Homeland Security Committee claims the influx of illegal aliens under Biden due to his de facto open border policy is costing Americans nearly a half a trillion dollars, $451 billion, a year.
The report claims “Every day, millions of American taxpayer dollars are spent on costs directly associated with illegal immigration and the unprecedented crisis at the Southwest border sparked by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ policies. Only a small fraction is ever recouped from the taxes paid by illegal aliens, with the rest falling on the shoulders of American citizens and lawful residents.”

FANI WILLIS DENIES LEAKING VIDEO OF TRUMP CO-DEFENDANTS – A leaked video of Trump co-defendants in the Georgia election case was not released by the Fulton County DA, Fanni Willis, according to her office. Instead, the office is accusing the defense of releasing the videos to intimidate witnesses, a charge that could lead to imprisonment of defendants out on bail, including Donald Trump, whose lawyers deny being involved in the leak.
Fani Willis’ office stated, “The release of these confidential video recordings is clearly intended to intimidate witnesses in this case, subjecting them to harassment and threats prior to trial, constitutes indirect communication about the facts of this case with codefendants and witnesses, and obstructs the administration of justice, in violation of the conditions of release imposed on each defendant.”
HOUSE PASSES BIPARTISAN BILL KEEPING GOVERNMENT FUNDED UNTIL FEBRUARY 2024 – House Speaker Mike Johnson gets an early win passing a spending bill 336-95 that will keep the government funded at current levels until February 2024. Johnson had stated he was interested in passing a continuing resolution to give the House the proper time to create a budget that is funded by separate bills as opposed to one omnibus bill that forces representatives to vote for funding they otherwise would not do.

CHINA (WEEKLY)
CHINA’S BELT AND ROAD BANKRUPTING MEMBER NATIONS – Nations are being driven into profound debt that choose to participate in China’s colonization-through-debt program called the Belt and Road Initiative. AidData has released a report that shows China has issued 5,000 loans to “developing countries” that have created $1.3 trillion in debt for the participants, a debt that doesn’t seem likely to be paid off on schedule.
CHINA’S ECONOMY BUCKLING AS FOREIGN INVESTORS CONTINUE TO FLEE – As Chairman Xi meets in San Franscisco with the CCP-friendly American President and seditious American business leaders (who place “profit” over American security), his economy is still buckling as foreign investors continue to pull out, taking hundreds of billions of dollars out of the Chinese market with them.
The way the elites of this country, including Elon Musk, grovel at the feet of this fascist dictator you would think China held all the cards when economically it doesn’t. Perhaps China’s hold on business leaders is its usefulness in helping them combat their true shared enemy, the American people.

CHRISTIANS ACQUITTED OF BIBLE “HATE CRIME” IN FINLAND STILL FACE LEGAL CHALLENGES – A Helsinki Appeals court has acquitted two Christians of hate crimes.

The unanimous ruling doesn’t end their challenge, however, as the LGBTQ-worshiping prosecutor intends to appeal the case to the highest court.
