State Department Accuses China of Genocide, Slavery, and Other Vicious Crimes


The State Department published its annual global human rights reports
<[link removed]>
this week. The China profile reads like a description of a dystopia.

The report accuses the Chinese government of overseeing some of the most
gruesome crimes imaginable.Starvation. Torture. Forced abortions. Rape. Murder.
Genocide. Largely focused on the CCP’s abuses in occupied and concentration
camp-filled East Turkistan, the profile paints a scathing picture of the
country vying to overtake the United States as the world’s strongest superpower.

The complete crime list
<[link removed]>
features dozens of offenses the State Department explicitly described as
“genocide and crimes against humanity.” Reported torture mechanisms include
electric shock, hanging by the wrists, force-feeding, forced medications, and
other forms of abuse.

China expressed “strong dissatisfaction” with the report. Read more

Newsom Embraces Redistricting, Polling Shows Overwhelming Public Opposition


Gavin Newsom may be America’s most enthusiastic gerrymanderer.

The California governor is moving forward with a proposal for new
congressional maps that would eliminatenearly half
<[link removed]>
of the Golden State’s Republican districts. He is painting the move as a
response to Republican redistricting efforts he says prove Donald Trump “is
trying to light a torch on democracy.” His rhetoric ignores the fact that both
parties have engaged in the practice for decades.Barack Obama’s former chief of
staff admitted it this morning
<[link removed]>
.

The public is seeing through Newsom’s act. According to a new poll
<[link removed]>
, the overwhelming majority of Californians support the state’scurrent
district-creating system, with barely over a third of respondents believing
state lawmakers should have the power to do what Newsom seeks.

“FAKE POLL written by LOSERS!” the governor’s office said in response to the
inconvenient data.Read more

Here’s Trump’s Game Plan for Today’s Putin Meeting


Donald Trump’s highly anticipated meeting with Vladimir Putin is only a few
hours away.

The president spoke about the summit’s objective on Thursday, saying he hopes
it will lay the groundwork for a second, “extremely important” in-person
dialogue and teasing his plan to proceed with caution and keep his aims close
to the vest.

"It’s like a chess game," Trump told Brian Kilmeade during an interview. "This
meeting sets up the second meeting, but there is a 25% chance that this meeting
will not be a successful meeting."

Trump went on to confirm his plan to implement new sanctions against Russia
if Putin rejects future peace talks, reiterating his promise that “there will
be very severe consequences” if the Russian president refuses to act in good
faith. Putin, for his part, praised Trump for making “quite energetic and
sincere efforts to stop the hostilities.”

We continue to wonder what any of this has to do with the United States. That
said, given bipartisan Washington is clearly hellbent on involving itself, we
hope the administration can broker a lasting peace. It is long overdue.Read more

Putin Hints at Possible Nuclear Deal


The world could be a completely different place by the time you receive our
next newsletter. The Trump-Putin summit will be in the books, and their two
countries’ relationship might already be vastly changed.

The Russian president hinted at a possible outcome of the meeting on
Thursday, floating a new nuclear deal between the two heavily armed nations. He
set today’s core objective as creating “long-term conditions for peace between
our countries, as well as in Europe, and in the world as a whole,” which could
happen if “we reach agreements in the area of control over strategic offensive
weapons.” Past U.S.-Russia strategic weapons treaties have covered nuclear
weapons or nuclear-capable missile systems.Read more

Israel Launches Settlement Plan to “Bury” Palestinian Statehood


Israel’s finance minister promoted plans to build over 3,000 settler homes in
the occupied West Bank on Thursday, enthusiastically saying the project will
thwart the idea of a Palestinian state "because there is nothing to recognise
and no one to recognise.” The move would effectively cut off the West Bank from
East Jerusalem.

"This is Zionism at its best,” he gloated. “Building, settling, and
strengthening our sovereignty in the land of Israel."

The problem, of course, is that the West Bank is not a part of Israel. A
quick look at a map makes that clear. The Israeli government is seeking to
expand its territory in the name of the “Greater Israel” project. As the
country’s primary financial backers, American taxpayers deserve to know thatthat
is the true goal of this entire ordeal. It’s interesting how the media never
mentions it.Read more <[link removed]>.

“F**k That”: Hunter Biden Refuses to Apologize to Melania over Epstein Claim


Hunter Biden doesn’t give a f**k about Melania Trump’s threats.

The Ukrainian gas expert and accomplished artist refused to retract his
statement linking the first lady to Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday, telling his
interviewer that an apology is “not going to happen.”

“F**k that,” the experienced crack-cocaine enthusiast plainly stated.

The comment came over Mrs. Trump’s threat to file “legal action for over $1
Billion in damages” against Biden for “false, defamatory, disparaging, and
inflammatory statements” claiming Epstein originally introduced her to her
husband.

You’d think someone like Hunter, who earlier this year received the ultimate
get-out-of-jail-free card from his father, would count his blessings and do
everything possible to stay out of legal trouble. But he can’t help himself.
This is the behavior of someone whose behavior hasnever really had
consequences. He sees everything as a joke.Read more

Alex Jones to Sell Infowars Assets to Pay Sandy Hook Debts


Alex Jones owes the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims’ families
nearly $1.3 billion. A Texas court ruled Wednesday that he must sell his
Infowars assets to help pay the debt.

The order has the potential to shut Jones out of his studio in the coming
days, forcing the storied news host to fork over the company’s property,
recording equipment, and brand name. Jones is already blasting the order and
says he has another studio ready to go if his show is shut down.

“People want to hear this show,” the journalist said during Thursday’s
program. “I will continue on with the network. They can harass me forever… they
won’t get me off the air.”Read more

South Carolina Governor Candidate Arrested in His Underwear


Married father of four William McLeod entered South Carolina’s gubernatorial
race on Monday. His campaign is off to an egregious start.

May footage of police arresting a nearly naked McLeod emerged on Wednesday,
showing the Democrat candidate rambling and hurling threats toward law
enforcement while swearing, using the n-word, and referring to himself as both
God and Superman. Police say the 53-year-old was “yelling at the top of his
lungs” before the arrest and demonstrating behavior “typical of an individual
under the influence of a stimulant narcotic.”

<[link removed]>

<[link removed]>

“I’m gonna kick your f**king teeth in,” McLeod said during the incident. The
threat was aimed at Republican candidate Alan Wilson, who announced his bid for
governor earlier this summer. He also refused to exit the vehicle upon arriving
at the police station, instead telling his presiding officer that he would
sleep in the back seat.

One more McLeod quote from the video for good measure: “I’m one of the most
just humans to ever walk this soil.”

Commentary


The Inversion of Reality


What’s more important? The truth, or hating Donald Trump?

If this week’s DC crime debate has taught us anything, it’s that Democrats
are far more committed to the latter. Opposing the president is their truth,
regardless of whether facts or reason support their hysteria.

A months-old Washington Post poll reemerged on Thursday
<[link removed]>
. It shows what we mean.

The May survey found that an astronomical 91% of the District’s residents
believe the city’s crime problem is “moderately serious” (41%) or
“extremely/very serious” (50%). Only 7% said it was “not too” or “not at all
serious,” and we’d bet most of them live near Georgetown or the Chevy Chase
Club. A deeper dive supports that hunch.

“There are stark divides along lines of race and income in the poll, with
Black residents and lower-income residents significantly more worried about
crime than White residents and those with higher incomes,” thePost reported at
the time. “As they were last year, Black women are among the most concerned,
with 65 percent saying crime is a very or extremely serious issue…”

Got that? Black Americans, the people liberals purport to champion and insist
Donald Trump hates, have themost to gain from the president’s attempt to safen
Washington’s streets.They’re the ones most concerned by the issue.

Trump’s initiative to address the problem put the left in an interesting
conundrum. If they backed his efforts, they’d abandon their hair-on-fire
suburban base that shrieks their lungs out any time the president does so much
as lift a finger. If they didn’t, they’d expose themselves fornot actually
caring about black people and only viewing them as partisan pawns.

So which did they choose? You know the answer. Nothing is more important than
repudiating the Orange Man, so they’re demanding their supporters ignore their
lying eyes instead of endorsing the push to get America’s capital city under
control.They’re denying that crime is a problem in the first place.

Remember what outlet produced that May poll we just mentioned? It wasn’t a
conservative site likeBreitbart or the Daily Caller. It was The Washington Post
. Fast forward to today, however, and thePost is singing a different tune. The
mainstream paper published alengthy piece
<[link removed]>
earlier this week pushing the message thateverything is fine in DC. This comes
mere months afterthey published a poll revealing how deeply unnerved the city’s
residents are about the region’s crime. It’s a complete inversion of reality,
and they’re not the only ones doing it.

Congressman Eric Swalwell released a video
<[link removed]> on Thursday suggesting
there are “no real criminals” in Washington except people working in the Trump
administration.Chuck Schumer
<[link removed]>
is projecting a similar message, insisting the city feels “perfectly safe” and
that Republicans concerned about its safety are “full of it.” Has he checked
the homicide rate lately?It’s six times higher than New York’s
<[link removed]>
. The situation isso bad that Senator Markwayne Mullin, a former MMA fighter,
doesn’t wear seatbelts
<[link removed]>
while driving through DC because he doesn’t want to get stuck in the event of
a carjacking.

Then there’s MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend
<[link removed]>. She’s claiming that
discussion of violent crime is “propaganda”even though her own husband has gone
on record about things being so out of control that businesses are fleeing the
community.

It’s clear what’s driving this. Trump says crime is bad, so Democrats
automatically take the opposing position. It doesn’t matter if their stance
runs contrary to realities that they themselves once admitted. Nothing is more
important than repudiating the Orange Man.

This Day in History


August 15, 2021: Kabul falls to the Taliban. The U.S.-backed Afghan government
collapsed amid America’s long-overdue withdrawal from the country, allowing
Taliban leaders to reestablish control after two decades of occupation. Western
intelligence thought Kabulcould capitulate within six to 12 months, meaning the
immediate collapse stunned Washington’s “experts” and left the Biden
administration flailing in response. The development humiliated the U.S.
foreign policy establishment, exposing them for wasting 20 years, fortunes of
taxpayer dollars, and tens of thousands of lives while accomplishing nothing
substantive in the region. America left Afghanistan in the same position it
found it: under Taliban control.
