Why Gordon Chang Is Sounding the Alarm--Gordon Chang has spent his career tracking how China turns economic access into geopolitical leverage.

He didn't hedge.

"China's regime will use investments in America to subvert and destroy our country," Chang posted. "Do not allow our enemy more bases of subversion here."

He called China America's enemy. Not a competitor. Not a rival. An enemy. [Renewedright]

WTH is Trump thinking even considering a $1 trillion China investment deal in American factories?

DOJ seeks death penalty in the murders of 2 Israeli Embassy staffers

The Justice Department will seek the death penalty

for the man accused of fatally shooting two staff members of the Israeli Embassy in Washington

This happened outside a Jewish museum, prosecutors said in a court filing Friday.

Elias Rodriguez faces federal hate crime and murder charges in the killings of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim as they left an event at the museum last May.

Rodriguez shouted “Free Palestine” during the shooting and later told police, “I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza,” according to his indictment.

The charges against Rodriguez include a hate crime resulting in death. The indictment also includes notice of special findings, which allows prosecutors to pursue the death penalty.

The Racket Nobody Is Talking About

Congress Is About to Cut Off Foreign Investors Who Have Been Gaming American Courts for Profit

Democrats spent four years screaming about foreign interference while ignoring the foreign money quietly colonizing American courtrooms.

Now a Republican congressman from Oklahoma is about to slam the door shut. And the moment this bill passes, a multibillion-dollar industry built on exploiting American families is finished.

Here is how it works:

A foreign hedge fund or sovereign wealth fund bankrolls a lawsuit against an American manufacturer. The lawsuit may be weak – the kind that would never have been filed without a deep-pocketed backer looking for a payday. But fighting it is expensive.

So the American company settles, not because they're guilty, but because the game is rigged in favor of whoever is financing the case. The foreign funder collects a cut of the settlement and wires the money out of the country.

Stacey Abrams served Subpoena

Georgia Senators Subpoenaed Stacey Abrams and She Has Until Friday to Explain the Missing Millions

Stacey Abrams built a $100 million national brand telling America she fights for election integrity.

Now Georgia senators want to know where $4.2 million in secret election money actually went. They just subpoenaed her – and she has until Friday to show up and answer.

The Georgia State Ethics Commission ruled earlier this year that the New Georgia Project and its affiliated Action Fund violated campaign finance laws during the 2018 election cycle. The groups admitted to all 16 violations. They paid $300,000 – a record fine in Georgia history.

Then the New Georgia Project quietly shut down and dissolved in 2025. That's not how innocent organizations behave. The Ethics Commission found that the New Georgia Project raised $4.2 million and spent $3.2 million to support Abrams and other Democrats during the 2018 cycle.

Not a single dollar of it was disclosed. That's not a paperwork mistake. They ran a multi-million-dollar influence operation on Georgia elections and told regulators they weren't doing anything of the sort.

Amy Mek's Explosive Congressional Testimony

RAIR Foundation USA’s Amy Mek Testifies at Explosive 'Sharia-Free America' Congressional Hearing

At Part II of the “Sharia-Free America” hearing, RAIR Founder Amy Mek delivered devastating testimony proving that Islam and Sharia are fundamentally incompatible with the U.S. Constitution.

She ripped the veil off the Muslim Brotherhood’s infiltration of schools, courts, and government, while Rep. Chip Roy directly confronted the growing Islamic threat.

As Islamic operatives attempted to intimidate witnesses, one Baptist activist defended Sharia – exposing the dangerous alliance shielding Islam.

RAIR’s own Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Amy Mek, delivered a no-holds-barred testimony that ripped the mask off the 1,400-year Islamic war on the West.

“Islam is a hostile, totalitarian political ideology using our freedom to destroy us.”
“To every non-Muslim, it offers three choices: convert, submit, or die.”

She detailed the Muslim Brotherhood’s own blueprints – the 1982 “Project” and 1991 Explanatory Memorandum – proving their two-front strategy: build parallel Islamic societies that refuse assimilation while capturing schools, courts, and government from within.

Texas, she warned, is Ground Zero, with over 650 Brotherhood-linked nonprofits, Sharia compounds like Yasir Qadhi’s EPIC City, voucher-funded Islamic schools, mosques preaching brutal Hudud punishments, and allegiance to Iran’s Supreme Leader – all while receiving taxpayer dollars.

Judiciary Committee confronts witness on soft-on crime policies

Jim Jordan CATCHES Soros-backed Attorney with damning question - "Did you lie?!!"

"Why did you change your website right after we started investigating you?!!"

GOP Rep. Jim Jordan confronted high-profile Soros-backed Fairfax Commonwealth’s Attorney Stephen Descano for soft-on-crime policies, letting illegal immigrant criminals off easy, and suspiciously changing his website as soon as he came under investigation.

Jordan called him right out: “A week after we send you a letter asking you to come testify SHAZAM you change your website!” Is that a coincidence?!!”



House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, tussled with high-profile Soros-backed Fairfax Commonwealth’s Attorney Stephen Descano over soft-on-crime policies that critics said let illegal immigrant criminals back on the street.

Descano was seated two spots away from Cheryl Minter, mother of Stephanie Minter, who was allegedly murdered by Sierra Leone national Abdul Jalloh at a bus stop not far from George Washington’s Mount Vernon.

President Trump returns from China

Trump Wraps Beijing Summit

Praise, Pageantry, and Pressure on Iran — But Few Hard Wins on Paper

President Trump departed China on Friday after two days of meetings with Xi Jinping that both sides hailed as a turning point in U.S.-China relations — even as concrete deliverables remained thin.

The summit was the first U.S. presidential visit to Beijing in nearly a decade, and the optics — a state banquet in the Great Hall of the People, a welcome ceremony in Tiananmen Square — were unlike anything Washington has gotten from China in years.

Trump told reporters he and Xi settled "a lot of different problems" that other leaders couldn't have moved an inch. The two sides agreed to pursue what Xi called a "new vision" for the relationship — what Beijing's readout called a "constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability."

What Trump Came Home With--

1. › Boeing: Xi committed to purchasing 200 Boeing jets — a major win for American manufacturing
2. › Beef: Beijing issued new import licenses to restore U.S. beef trade just hours before Trump landed
3. › Fentanyl: Both sides pledged to crack down on fentanyl precursor exports from China to the U.S.
4. › Iran: Xi told Trump China is "not going to give military equipment" to Iran and opposes militarizing the Strait of Hormuz
5. › Energy: Xi expressed interest in buying more U.S. crude oil — a direct opening for the American energy sector

Hasan Piker is not some edgy campus clown who accidentally wandered into politics.

He is the indefensible face of a rotten movement that hates America, excuses barbarism, sneers at patriotism, and dresses anti-American poison in influencer packaging.

The sick part is not merely that Piker says vile things. The sick part is that woke left lunatics idolize him, protect him, and treat his rage as moral clarity.

Rashida Tlaib refuses to distance herself from Piker and instead attacks Trump as a “fascist.” That tells you everything. [Luthmann-Loomer]

California’s latest taxpayer gift has ugly punchline

California taxpayers unknowingly funding prison tablet porn under Newsom

California under Gavin Newsom has spent hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on electronic tablets for prisoners, all in the name of rehab, connection, and digital equity.

That sounds nice on paper, the kind of language that makes bureaucrats nod like they just solved civilization. But the real-world result, according to reports, is a mess that has taxpayers shaking their heads again.

Instead of a clean success story, the state appears to have handed out high-tech toys to convicted criminals while ordinary Californians keep paying more and getting less.

Reports say inmates found the obvious use fast...PORN.

Fox 11 in Los Angeles reported that some death row inmates have used the tablets to watch pornography and carry on lewd conversations. One inmate, Robert Maury, a serial rapist and murderer, allegedly said he used his taxpayer-funded tablet to view porn and send nude images.

Others reportedly used video chat tools to get someone on the outside to play porn on a television for them. If you were hoping the system would be used for algebra homework and polite book clubs, well, that dream lasted about five minutes.

Criminals with free electronics apparently did what criminals do when given a loophole and a screen.

Democrat priorities in action

Power Hungry Democrats

Virginia Republicans condemn Democratic push to reverse state Supreme Court redistricting ruling

Virginia House Minority Leader Terry Kilgore called it "insane." Heritage Foundation fellow Zach Smith said it would "undermine the rule of law."

And by late Monday, Democratic leaders in Richmond had already filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court of the United States, racing to undo a state high court ruling that blocked their preferred congressional map before a May 12 pre-primary deadline.

The fight centers on a 4-3 decision by the Supreme Court of Virginia that struck down Democrats' redistricting effort, a now-blocked 10-1 congressional map that Republicans say was drawn to entrench Democratic power.

Rather than accept the ruling, Virginia and national Democrats have reportedly discussed a menu of options to reverse it, including lowering the retirement age of state justices, re-trying the case before a different court, and using an earlier lower-court ruling to invalidate the independent redistricting commission itself.

Those discussions, first reported by the New York Times on Monday, included the insufferable House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York. Fox News Digital reported that Kilgore, a Republican from Gate City, framed the situation in blunt terms.

"That just shows you how power-hungry Hakeem Jeffries and his Democrats are up there, and I'm glad the Supreme Court followed the rule of law, and it was a good day for Virginia."

Resolution Honoring Law Enforcement

173 House Democrats refuse to back resolution honoring law enforcement as officer assaults hit decade high

A GOP-authored House resolution paying tribute to law enforcement officers passed Wednesday with bipartisan support, but 173 House Democrats voted against it, even as an FBI report released days earlier showed assaults on officers had climbed to a 10-year high.

Every Republican lawmaker present voted yes. Just 29 Democrats crossed the aisle to join them. The rest of the Democratic caucus, led by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, voted no, turning what the resolution's author expected to be a unanimous show of gratitude into a stark partisan divide over policing in America.

The vote landed during National Police Week, the same week officers gathered on the National Mall to honor 109 colleagues who died in the line of duty in 2025.

It also came two days after the FBI published data showing that while officer deaths dipped slightly between 2024 and 2025, assaults against law enforcement climbed to levels not seen in a decade.

"Whereas rhetoric and policies from leftist activists and progressive politicians seek to defund or dismantle local police departments undermine public safety and place both officers and the communities they serve at greater risk."

That language, naming "leftist activists and progressive politicians" as threats to public safety, apparently proved too much for the overwhelming majority of Democrats. It also credited the Trump administration's policies with contributing to the crime decline, a framing Democrats were unwilling to endorse.

Secret Service skirmish in Beijing

Trump’s Secret Service in ‘Intense Standoff’ with Chinese Security Over a Gun Incident

President Trump’s visit to China hit a tense security snag after Chinese officials blocked a Secret Service agent from entering a Beijing temple with a weapon.

The standoff delayed access to the historic site for about 90 minutes as U.S. and Chinese officials clashed over security protocols. China Blocks Armed Agent.

The dispute unfolded Thursday during President Trump’s state visit to China. Chinese security officials temporarily stopped a U.S. Secret Service agent at Beijing’s Temple of Heaven.

The issue centered on whether the agent could enter the historic site while carrying a weapon.

All Eyes on Trump in China as President Trump stands in the lion’s den in Beijing, eye-to-eye with the Chinese Communist regime that seeks to bury America’s future.

He knows exactly what is at stake. President Trump has never been fooled by Beijing’s smiles and empty promises. He understands, as few leaders do, that the Chinese Communist Party is not our friend — it is a ruthless adversary waging a sophisticated campaign to infiltrate, subvert, and dominate this nation from within.

The CCP’s strategy is deliberate and multi-layered: economic incentives, diaspora networks, United Front influence operations, and outright espionage.

They exploit our openness as weakness while advancing hybrid warfare — stealing technology, corrupting officials, and dividing our people. [Act for America]
