A. GLOBAL OUTLOOK
1. ANOTHER DEMOCRAT ARRESTED FOR BEING A CCP SPY - The former Mayor of Arcadia, California has pled guilty to being a Chinese Communist Spy, Eileen Wang pled guilty to charges she cooperated with the Chinese Communist Party through a website called “US News Center.”
2. PURGE THE COURTS, VA PROGRESSIVES SAY - After the Virginia Supreme Court threw out a new congressional district map that eliminated four GOP seats, progressives want to purge the court and replace it with more loyal progressives. The plan is to lower the mandatory retirement age of judges to below the youngest member of the VA Supreme Court so they can put progressive activists in to take their place.
3. NYC MOB ATTACKS JEWISH SYNAGOGUE, MINIMUM ARRESTS FOLLOW - A mob of far-left progressive anti-Israel terrorists assaulted Jews as they were coming out of their synagogue. When cops arrived, the mobs attacked the cops. The response from Mamdani’s office has been tepid, with only three arrests announced as a follow-up.
B. HEADLINES MISSED
1. ICE MIGHT HAVE YOUR PERSONAL DATA SOON - Immigrations and Customs Enforcement have been using a Palantir tool to track far more than illegal aliens, critics allege. ICE has over 20 million people worldwide in a database that some suspect includes American citizens.
DHS told 404 Media, “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is committed to achieving the nation’s mandate to clear the backlog of illegal aliens who pose a threat to the security of our communities. Like other law enforcement agencies, ICE employs various forms of technology while respecting civil liberties and privacy interests.”
2. CCP AND CANADA’S COPS HAVE SECRET SECURITY AGREEMENT - Canadians are asking questions after learning in a foreign interference trial that the Canadian Royal Mounted Police have a secret security agreement with the Chinese Communist Party. The suspicion is that Canada’s cops are enforcing CCP laws against CCP dissidents living in Canada.
3. DID CHATGPT COMMIT MANSLAUGHTER? - A Texas couple is suing OpenAI, alleging their product, ChatGPT, led to their son’s overdosing on drugs after following the AI platform’s advice.
OpenAI released this statement, “This is a heartbreaking situation, and our thoughts are with the family… ChatGPT is not a substitute for medical or mental health care, and we have continued to strengthen how it responds in sensitive and acute situations with input from mental health experts...”
C. PEOPLE ADVANCE
1. PAKISTAN PLAYS MODERATOR WHILE SIDING WITH IRAN - New evidence has revealed Pakistan has been allowing the Iranians to park their warplanes in its territory for safekeeping. Pakistan is currently playing the role of mediator in ceasefire negotiations between Iran and the U.S. (and Israel).
2. AMERICA SAYS NO TO UN PLANVASION - The American State Department released two recent statements that break with the mass migration strategy of the UN. One release made it clear America stands in direct opposition to the plan, and one exposes how the UN is working to “assure” Britian’s recent “migrants” aren’t deported.
3. PA SCOTUS JUDGE NIXES DEMS OVER ISRAEL - Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht has announced his intentions to leave the Democrat Party. He accused them of being antisemitic. He stated, "… acquiescence to Jew-hatred is now disturbingly common among activists, leaders and even many elected officials in the Democratic Party. I can no longer abide this. So, I won’t. I am no longer registered with any political party,”
