They aren't your typical weapons -- pool noodles, hockey sticks, umbrellas, and cigarette lighters -- but thanks to some gutless local officials, they're all the Portland rioters need to paralyze the whole city. For 55 consecutive nights, a collection of pathetic politicians has watched the throngs burn, loot, and smash their way through the town. And what is the media's biggest story? That President Trump, the only person who seems to care if the city becomes a pile of flaming rubble, is supposedly creating a "constitutional crisis" by being the one adult in the room willing to address it.

"Will they stop at burning an empty church?" It was a sobering question, but Ellen Fantani, who's been tracking the spike in anti-Christian attacks across Europe, can't help but wonder.

China ups Its Spy Game
|
|
The Chinese Consulate in Houston was instructed to close by U.S. officials on Tuesday, and its employees have 72 hours to leave. While the details remain unknown, State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said China "has engaged for years in massive illegal spying and influence operations throughout the United States against U.S. government officials and American citizens." As if to prove their guilt, Chinese consulate workers appeared to burn documents in the courtyard of the compound later that evening, prompting nearby residents to call the fire department.
