Plus $6,704,250 from China and $2,513,646 from Oman.

What are the chances that the University of Delaware, awash in all that cash, retains a dispassionate, objective, and fearless commitment to an academic inquiry regarding China and the Islamic world?

“Foreign Nations Poured Millions Into University That Houses Biden Institute,” by Alana Goodman, Washington Free Beacon, February 6, 2023:

China, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Turkey have poured millions of dollars into the University of Delaware since the school launched the Biden Institute, President Joe Biden’s domestic policy think tank led by his sister, according to U.S. Department of Education records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

Since the Biden Institute was established in 2017, the University of Delaware has received $6,704,250 in funding from China, $23,610,996 from Saudi Arabia, $2,513,646 from Oman and $1,673,847 from Turkey, according to data from the U.S. Department of Education.

News of the funding comes as lawmakers have called for an investigation into President Joe Biden’s private papers housed at the University of Delaware, after federal authorities uncovered classified documents at Biden’s home and at the Penn Biden Center, the president’s other foreign-policy-focused think tank at the University of Pennsylvania. It also comes as the University of Pennsylvania has faced questions from Congress about foreign donations it received after launching the Penn Biden Center.

The University of Delaware has declined to disclose the Biden Institute’s donors and told the Free Beacon in 2020 that these records are not subject to public information laws because the Biden Institute is privately funded.

Government watchdogs said the University of Delaware’s secrecy over the Biden Institute’s funding raises questions about whether any foreign funds have gone to the think tank, which is chaired by Biden’s sister, Valerie Biden Owens, and has employed some of his top aides and political allies.

“The secrecy surrounding the suspected foreign funding of the Biden Institute at the University of Delaware is on a par with that of the Penn Biden Center of the University of Pennsylvania,” said Paul Kamenar, counsel to the National Legal and Policy Center, an ethics watchdog group that has investigated both think tanks. “The House oversight committees need to uncover the dark money sources in both cases, particularly from China.”…

Biden Administration Works to Destroy the Border Patrol

Insult to Injury: Biden Regime Distributes Anti-Police ‘Black Resistance’ Flyers to Border Agents

BY ROBERT SPENCER

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

What could be a more thankless job than to be a Border Patrol agent during the misrule of Alleged President Joe Biden? As migrants continue to stream in unprecedented numbers across the essentially nonexistent Southern border, it’s clear that Biden’s handlers don’t want border officials to do their jobs, insofar as those jobs involve screening the new arrivals and endeavoring to keep criminals, terrorists, and other unsavory elements out of the country. It wants to bring as many migrants as possible into the country, no matter what price American citizens have to pay. It has also been quick to demonize border officials, even in open defiance of the facts. And now the Biden regime has added insult to injury by distributing Black Lives Matter anti-police agitprop to Border Patrol agents. Do they want Border Patrol agents demoralized enough to quit their jobs?

The Washington Free Beacon reported Monday that Biden’s ideologues “distributed ‘Black Resistance’ flyers to U.S. Border Patrol agents that celebrated the Black Lives Matter movement and anti-American activist Colin Kaepernick.” The U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Privacy and Diversity Office, which must be a delightful place to work, “circulated a poster that features the words #BlackPower, #BlackLivesMatter, and ‘Abolitionist,’ as well as watermarked images of Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.) and Kaepernick.”

One Border Patrol officer spelled out exactly what is so outrageous about this: “BLM hates us, and so does Maxine Waters. Kaepernick hates us. They’re anti-police advocates against the nation’s largest police agency.” Indeed. Black Lives Matter has said that Customs and Border Protection, “like other law enforcement agencies, are rooted in white supremacy and a history of slave-catching.” BLM added: “When we say #DefundThePolice, we mean all the police, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), who are demonstrating their slave-catching roots, riding horseback, and beating Haitian asylum-seekers with whips.”

There was just one catch: CBP agents didn’t beat Haitian asylum-seekers, or anyone else, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas knew that in Oct. 2022 when he declared: “Our nation saw horrifying images that do not reflect who we are. We know that those images painfully conjured up the worst elements of our nation’s ongoing battle against systemic racism. The images horrified us in terms of what they suggest and what they conjure up.” As soon as it became clear that Mayorkas said this even though he knew that no one had been whipped, he should have been made to resign. The fact that he did not indicate yet again that this America-Last administration wants to demonize the CBP, and police in general, in order to further its radical agenda. Truth doesn’t matter. Only the narrative does. And the overall goal of transforming the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave into something else altogether by overwhelming its population with new arrivals who have markedly different political and cultural values.

The project is well underway. The CBP reports that its officers had 2,766,582 “encounters” with migrants at the borders during the fiscal year 2022, up significantly from 1,956,519 in the fiscal year 2021 and 646,822 in the fiscal year 2020. In October and November of 2022, there were 561,291. If migrants keep streaming into the U.S. at that rate, there will be well over three million “encounters” in this fiscal year.

And so it’s clear: as far as Old Joe Biden’s handlers are concerned, CBP agents are the enemy. If they’re stubborn enough to stay on the job nonetheless, they will be inundated with propaganda designed to inculcate within them the idea that they are evil and are doing something that is intrinsically wrong. The endgame is to compel thoroughly propagandized agents either to quit their jobs or do what is now called “quiet quitting,” doing nothing while remaining on the taxpayer payroll, refusing to do the bidding of white supremacist Amerikkka in keeping the poor, noble, victimized brown migrants out.

Has there ever been an administration like this one, so thoroughly at war with its own people that it actively works to demoralize and destroy a key law enforcement agency? The Biden regime’s anti-American reign of terror makes the Obama administration look positively drenched in the old red, white, and blue. If the House Republicans are worth their salt, they will open investigations to discover who is responsible for pushing this anti-police agitprop upon the Border Patrol, and demand the resignations of everyone involved. We shall see.

In his State of the Union address, Biden ignored his regime’s assault upon the freedom of speech

The Disinformation Governance Board was just one small aspect of a much larger program to crush dissent in the United States.

“MARTIN: As Biden Gives His SOTU, Remember His ‘Truth Commission — Our Fourth Branch Of Government,” by Barrington Martin, Daily Caller, February 7, 2023:

As Joe Biden gives his State of the Union address, he will no doubt gloss over the biggest scandal in our nation’s history since Watergate, which has been occurring silently over the last few years. A significant proportion of Americans have probably already forgotten about it for the sole reason that many trusted media sources have played a vital role in burying it.

Although the unholy union between government and the private sector has existed for years, the recent release of Twitter Files has proven the existence of an unofficial phantom branch of government – legacy media and social media. This disguised branch of government exists to serve as a “Truth Commission.”

Not the “Truth Commission” recommended by representative Sara Jacobs of the 53rd district of California but one established by the government for Big Tech companies to censor, disseminate and proliferate information that fits an official narrative. It seeks to silence dissenting voices and narratives while amplifying those that fit their agenda. The partnership between government and media is a key driver of what type of information the American people are given access to, making the government the arbiter of truth.

The Twitter Files are a set of internal Twitter documents that ultimately exposed Twitter’s politically based censorship at the behest of the United States government. This was implemented via a technical algorithm that buried or suppressed certain stories to create an overwhelming bias towards left-leaning users with chilling implications for American liberty.

Prior to the 2020 election, President Biden’s administration requested that Twitter censor politically right-leaning content. This was coupled with “shadow banning” of medical professionals who questioned the overarching COVID-19 narrative.

This was followed by President Donald Trump’s suspension from Twitter, a move that sparked the redundant fight for freedom of speech. I use the word “redundant” because freedom of speech should have never become an issue.

Meanwhile FBI employees and the U.S. military’s online psychological influence operations were also working with Twitter. The FBI and DHS regularly sent social media content to Twitter through multiple entry points, pre-flagged for moderation.

President Biden met with Twitter executives to shut down “anti-vaxxers,” completely making the discourse with COVID-19 extremely biased. Then it came to the public’s attention that a former FBI agent used a neoliberal think tank to create fraudulent stories about Russian bots using the platform to spread misinformation.

This merger of politics and Big Tech has threatened American democracy and threatens the rise of corporatism in this nation in which the government and various companies partner to regulate society….

Biden Promotes BLM Anti-cop Propaganda, Offers More Proof He Has Dementia

BY R. CORT KIRKWOOD

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

As expected, Joe Biden delivered a stunningly dishonest State of the Union address (SOTU) last night.

He falsely accused Republicans of wanting to wreck Medicare and Social Security, which inspired the only high point of the speech when Republicans loudly protested. And he patted himself on the back for decreasing the inflation his policies partly caused.

But those are typical and generally harmless Democratic talking points that no one believes.

Biden also repeated the lie from Black Lives Matter and other anti-cop, anti-white groups that blacks must fear the police, and provided further evidence that he has dementia.

“The Talk”

Biden shot at the police when he discussed Tyre Nichols, the 29-year-old black man who died three days after five black cops assaulted him during a traffic stop.

Nichols’ parents were in the audience and provided the chance for Biden to suggest that blacks are right to fear the police, although he didn’t mention race … and didn’t have to.

“Imagine what it’s like to lose a child at the hands of the law,” Biden began. “Imagine having to worry whether your son or daughter will come home from walking down the street or playing in the park or just driving their car.”

But then he dipped his bucket into the well of anti-cop mythology and brought up something called the “The Talk,” a supposed conversation that black parents must have with their kids about racism and, of course, about cops always on the lookout for an innocent black kid to kill:

I’ve never had to have the talk with my children — Beau, Hunter, and Ashley — that so many Black and Brown families have had with their children.

If a police officer pulls you over, turn on your interior lights. Don’t reach for your license. Keep your hands on the steering wheel.

Imagine having to worry like that every day in America.

Of course, Biden didn’t say that blacks aren’t the only motorists who should follow that advice when police pull them over.

The National Highway Safety Administration (NHSA) explains “how to handle being pulled over.”

“Pull over to the right side of the road as soon as it’s safe to do so,” Step 1 says, and “turn off your vehicle,” Step 2 continues. Then:

Step 3: To show that you do not pose a threat to the officer, put both hands on your steering wheel. If it’s after dark, turn on the interior light of your vehicle. Do not search for vehicle documents until the officer asks you to—he might misinterpret your purpose for reaching into the glove compartment. [Emphasis added.]

Step 4: Wait for the officer to come over to your vehicle. He or she will approach your car window and ask for certain documents. Most state laws require that you show your driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance. Give your name and address if requested. The officer may also ask you to step out of the car.

Step 5: The officer will inform you why you were stopped.

NHSA does not direct this information to blacks alone and illustrates its advice with a photo of a cop and a white motorist.

If Biden and his handlers didn’t know that, they likely relied on anti-cop propagandists or Wikipedia’s entry on “The Talk” for the list of dos and don’ts during a police stop. If they did know, then Biden told a bald-faced lie.

That wasn’t Biden’s only fib, but it might have been the most dangerous and destructive. The president reinforced the falsehood that cops, particularly white cops, routinely prowl for innocent blacks to harass and perhaps even kill.

Sundowning Again?

The bad-cop lie was only one problem with the speech. Biden slurred a key but meaningless applause line and then began yelling about Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

The SOTU as prepared includes this line: “Make no mistake, if you try to do anything to raise the cost of prescription drugs, I will veto it.”

Biden said this:

Make no mistake, if you try to do anything to raise the cost of perschmipshundrugsh, I will veto it.

And that was just one of the lines Biden slurred or garbled.

When Biden discussed autocracies, he lost his temper.

“Autocracies have grown weaker, not stronger,” he said before he ad-libbed this bizarre line, like an angry old man shouting at the clouds:

“Name me a world leader who changed places with Xi Jinping,” he said. “Name me one!” he shouted. “NAME ME ONE!

The confused, irrational outburst is strong evidence that Biden is sundowning, the late afternoon/early evening confusion and irritation in those who suffer from dementia.

Biden’s dementia has been a concern, even among leftists, for some time.

He frequently tells stories about himself that are untrue, another dementia symptom called false memories. He requires specific directions to get through speeches and public events and often seems to wander aimlessly.

And again, he frequently slurs and garbles through public remarks, and laughs inappropriately.

Born the day the Siege of Malta ended during World War II, Biden will be 82 years old in 2024.

New FBI HQ Slated to Be Twice the Size of Pentagon, Larger Than Kremlin

The Federal Bureau of Investigation was once one of the most trusted institutions in the nation. FBI agents had the image of being honest, upright, patriotic, and not only not corrupt, but not corruptible. Beginning late in the Obama administration and accelerating sharply during the misrule of Old Joe Biden, however, the FBI took its sterling reputation, stomped on it with muddy shoes, tossed it in the dumpster, took it out, and set fire to it, and threw the smoldering remainder into a vat of raw sewage. The survey site Statista reported in August 2022 that “Where 57 percent of U.S. adults said that the FBI was doing either an ‘excellent’ or a ‘good’ job in 2019, this fell to 44 percent in 2021.”

The FBI has, in these dark days of Biden’s handlers’ regime, become synonymous with corruption, partisanship, and dirty dealing. Nor is there any relief in sight; instead, it’s likely to get worse: not only do Biden’s handlers have no intention of reining in today’s rogue FBI, but they’re rewarding it with a massive new building.

“Massive new building” is actually an understatement. Your taxpayer dollars are set to be used for a staggeringly massive new FBI complex that will be double the size of the Pentagon. If you have ever flown into Washington, you can often see the Pentagon from the air and get a clear idea of how immense it is. Now the feds will have a playground that makes the Pentagon look like some third-tier accountant’s cubicle.

J. Michael Waller, a senior analyst for strategy at the Center for Security Policy, adds the thoroughly unsurprising news that “riveted into the colossal new project are woke regulations to ensure that the FBI center will comply with diversity, equity, LGBTQ+, and climate change political goals.” The current FBI building, one of the ugliest in Washington, covers two city blocks. The new headquarters “will be built on one of three sites in suburban Virginia and Maryland. Those sites are large parcels of 58, 61, and 80 acres. That means, at minimum, the new FBI headquarters complex would be twice the size of the Pentagon building.” That will be true despite the fact that “covering about 29 acres plus a five-acre courtyard, the Pentagon, until recently, was the largest office building on earth.” The new FBI may even end up being bigger than the Kremlin, which covers 66 acres.

Why does the FBI need all this space? The better to surveil you with, my dear. The better to make your life miserable if you happen to have been in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021. The better to hound you if you’re a parent who is angry because your child has been subjected to the critical race theory in primary school. The better to harass and terrorize you if you’re a pro-life activist. The better to manufacture “white supremacist terrorists” so as to justify the bureau’s ridiculous claims about what constitutes the largest terror threat the nation faces today.

Then there is all the space the Brave New FBI needs to coordinate election crimes and stamp out “misinformation,” that is, news that deviates from the Democrat Party line. And if Donald Trump or any other Republican is elected president in 2024, there will need to be a new hoax along the lines of the Russian Collusion fiction in order to portray the dissident president as a traitor or, at the very least, an irresponsible loose cannon who cannot be trusted to lead “our democracy.” That’s going to require a great deal of office space. And even if the Democrats run the table in 2024, which is more likely than not given their mastery of ballot harvesting, mail-in ballots, and all the rest, there will still be pockets of resistance, pesky MAGA Republicans who refuse to submit. Oh yes, the FBI is going to be very, very busy for years to come.

Waller noted that one of the criteria for the new FBI site will be “advancing equity.” How a building complex can do that is unclear, but Waller adds that of the various criteria for choosing where the feds’ new digs are going to be, “cost to the taxpayer is viewed as least important.” Of course! However, “the equity criterion, to comply with diversity and climate-change executive orders signed by Joe Biden, is weighted as 50 percent more important than the cost.” The new site, and the design and structure of the new building or buildings, must “advance racial equity and support for underserved communities through the Federal Government.”

It could be worse. Every minute the FBI spends firing another white male agent is a minute taken away from extending its new and sinister authoritarianism over the American people. So count your blessings, and get your wallet ready: you’re soon going to be expected to pay for the new FBI headquarters, which are certain to be a monstrosity in every sense of the word.

While millions of Americans, for the first time since the Great Depression, cannot afford to buy eggs, Biden boasted about his economic successes to applause from special interests and jeers from those representatives standing up for the beleaguered people of the nation.

The Great Depression ended three years before Biden’s birth, but he’s trying to bring it back.

Under Biden, the price of everything from bread to gasoline to eggs to homes has soared out of reach. No wonder that polls show even the majority of Democrats don’t want him to run again.

Over 150 million Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, even those with a decent salary because inflation is outrunning wage growth, making paychecks and savings worthless.

62% of Americans don’t think Biden has done very much as president. Only 18% think that his policies have made life better for their families. In response to numbers like that, Joe Biden spent the State of the Union screaming, whispering, and mumbling a stream of lies.

Once again, Biden falsely claimed to have created record jobs and record unemployment rates by virtue of not imposing more lockdowns, when there are actually millions fewer workers in the workforce in his miserable economy. He claimed to have brought gas prices down when they’re actually higher than they were when he took office. From there he blamed forest fires on global warming and lied about the tax system, insulin costs, the deficit, the debt limit, and everything else.

But in the most shameless moment of the State of the Union, Biden falsely accused Republicans of wanting to eliminate Social Security and Medicare when he was the one who had spent much of his career working to cut Medicare and Social Security. It was Obama who had pledged to spend “some political capital” to make the “very difficult choices and issues of sacrifice and responsibility and duty”.and tasked Biden with helping make those cuts.

In 2007, Biden told Meet the Press that “Medicare, that is the gorilla in the room, and you’ve got to put all of it on the table.” “We need to do something about Social Security and Medicare. That’s the only way you can find room to pay for it,” Biden had said as recently as 2018.

Not only did Biden lie, but he accused House Republicans of his own sins.

Trump has said that “Biden tried to cut Social Security and Medicare”. Bernie Sanders accused Biden of saying “on many occasions we should cut Social Security.” All of that is forgotten.

No moment crystalized Biden’s cynical dishonesty more than a politician whose reckless spending has defunded Medicare and Social Security so that the Medicare trust fund will run out in 2028 and Social Security in 2034 posturing as the stalwart defender of the thing he has spent his career trying to destroy and is now on the verge of tanking to fund corrupt special interests.

Even while Social Security and Medicare get closer to insolvency, Biden boasted of spending $5 billion to subsidize electric car chargers for the rich. Given a choice between seniors and his Tesla donor base, Biden will kill seniors so that his supporters can have an easier drive.

That’s how much he cares about seniors. And all the rest of us.

The rotten foundation of Biden’s State of the Union address was faking empathy. The empathy falls apart on even casual inspection. After declaring war on the police and denouncing America as racist over the death of Tyre Nichols, Biden mispronounced his name as “Tyler”. While he implored viewers to think of the parents whose children never came home, thousands of parents have lost children to violent crime, including from the illegal migrants he released into America.

In Maryland, Kayla Hamilton, a 20-year-old autistic girl, was strangled to death by an MS-13 gang member only months after the Biden administration released him into the country.

That’s the face of one of the thousands of American men, women, and children who died as a result of the open borders and pro-crime policies that Biden continued to champion in his address. In the face of the crime wave and border migrant invasion, Biden doubled down on calling for legalizing illegal aliens and for going after police departments instead of criminals.

Biden has worsened the lives of every American. Most have lost income, savings, and plans for the future. Others have suffered even more. These crimes have only been mentioned in passing. The nation’s top Democrat described schools being closed, a passive voice when it was his party that forcibly shuttered schools and destroyed the educational potential of a generation. He demanded that we mourn those lives lost to the pandemic when it was his political allies who forced COVID patients into nursing homes resulting in the worst deaths of the pandemic. He told the story of a girl who died of a fentanyl overdose while failing to mention that his appeasement of China and open border policies are leading to overdoses across America.

“COVID had shut down our businesses, closed our schools, and robbed us of so much,” Biden bemoaned. COVID didn’t do that. Democrats did. And, given a chance, they’ll do it again.

This is the criminally treasonous legacy of the Democrats and their corrupt figurehead.

Under Biden, America has fallen to its worst level. We have no food, no borders, and no future. China casually invades our country and knows that the only ones Biden will fight are Americans.

The State of the Union is the latest phase of the long leftist war on America.

Biden has clawed his way to the highest office in the land by selling out everything he ever claimed to have believed. And now he’s so far gone that he may not even know what he believes. His pathetic rant, breathy, rushed, angry, was the belligerent tirade of a puppet who takes pride in being seen over the podium even if there’s a hand up his nether regions.

According to a New York Times article, Biden “read drafts aloud from top to bottom” and “practiced in front of teleprompters” to make “sure the language was relatable and clear” and “marked up his speech with subtle lines and dashes” to tell him when “to take a breath, pause between his words or steer through a tricky transition.” All that practice paid off as he rushed through his lies, mumbled, whispered, screamed and fumbled laugh lines and applause lines.

But as bad as Biden’s State of the Union delivery was, the policies in it are much worse.

Biden urged passing the PRO Act whose mandatory unionization would outlaw freelance workers as its model did in California, legalizing illegal aliens, outlawing religious freedom, and legalizing the murder of babies until birth. And that’s just the proposals that his speechwriters thought were palatable enough to make the cut for the country’s most high-profile speech.

All the misery that we have experienced since the ballot harvesters of the nation selected him is only just the beginning. The DNC has rigged the primaries for Biden and the party’s leaders have endorsed him for a second term. And his speech warns us that the worst is yet to come.

Chinese Companies With Ties to Beijing Purchasing U.S. Military Academies

Surveillance balloons are the least of our worries when it comes to Chinese infiltration of the United States.

For nearly a decade now, Chinese companies with ties to the ruling communist regime have been buying up military academies in the United States, including the one attended by former President Donald J. Trump.

Here is the story as reported by the Washington Free Beacon:

In 2015, a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, which serves as the Chinese Communist Party’s political advisory board, purchased Donald Trump’s alma mater, the New York Military Academy, for $16 million…. Conference member Mo Tianquan secured the purchase after a bidding war with another Chinese conglomerate.

Two years later, a Chinese education conglomerate purchased the Florida Preparatory Academy as part of its plan to create “a global educational alliance system.” The organization partnered with a CCP-controlled regional government agency on the initiative. Both the New York Military Academy and Florida Preparatory Academy operate Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) programs, which train future military officers.

The response to the surreptitious consolidation of American schools with military academies has been tepid, at best.

Again, from the Free Beacon:

Rep. Michael Waltz (R., Fla.), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, says Chinese ownership of these schools could pose a national security threat.

“To the extent that those private schools have junior ROTC programs that are forming the backbone of our future leaders of our military, this is something I would hope and would expect the Defense Department would work with me to better understand,” Waltz told the Washington Free Beacon.

Waltz on Tuesday sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, urging the Pentagon to survey JROTC programs at private schools across the country to see if they are foreign-owned.

“With the ongoing military recruitment crisis, I am concerned that any students we recruit into the service from these CCP-influenced schools will have a sympathetic view of China’s political and strategic aims,” Waltz, who chairs the House subcommittee on military readiness, wrote to Austin.

As for the Chinese, what interest would they have in adding private military academies to their vast and valuable portfolio of American holdings?

An article published by a mouthpiece for Beijing claims that the Chinese companies started buying up these schools “in the hopes of cashing in on Chinese students’ quest for admission into a U.S. college.”

Following the purchase of the New York Military Academy by Fang Holdings, the new superintendent predicted a prolific influx of Chinese students to the school.

Perhaps the part of the story that is most enraging is not the purchase of the private schools by agents or advocates of the Chinese government, but that our own Department of Defense is funneling funds from American taxpayers to the companies carrying water for the Chinese Communists!

As the Free Beacon revealed:

According to a federal spending database, the Department of Defense has awarded over $475,000 in contracts for various cadet programs to New York Military Academy since its Chinese takeover.

It’s quite a feat for the Chinese Communist Party and its supporters not only to purchase private schools with military academies but to do so with money unknowingly provided by American taxpayers.

Still not convinced that this story is smoke that signals a fire? Consider this information provided by the Free Beacon report:

Mo, Fang’s founder and majority shareholder, has openly discussed his allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party. In 2018, Mo said he was “very honored” to be a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, which he affirmed operates “under the leadership of the Communist Party of China.” He said a qualification for the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference role was to be “a good serviceman in government.” At the New York Military Academy, Mo has installed many of his Chinese business partners on the historic school’s board of trustees.

The owner of the Florida Preparatory Academy, formerly known as the Florida Air Academy, has in recent years built up an international network of private schools as part of a “global educational alliance system.” China’s Newopen Group, which in 2017 purchased the school for an unknown sum, a year before the purchase signed a strategic partnership with Chongqing Environmental Investment Group, a CCP-linked municipal agency, to build the network across China, North America, Europe, and Australia.

From the purchase of these private schools with military academies to the shameless and fearless floating of a surveillance balloon across nearly the entire territory of the United States from Alaska to beyond the coast of South Carolina, to the secret establishment of police stations throughout North America, the Chinese Communist Party and its agents, affiliates, and adherents are, to use James Madison’s words, making “silent and gradual” strides toward creating a secret but solid presence in the United States — and they are using American taxpayer money to do so.

A message sent to former President Trump requesting comment on the Chinese purchase of his alma mater has gone unanswered as of the publishing of this article.

Parent on School Board Exposes Arizona “Science” Curriculum Claiming Sex Isn’t Binary

The choice is binary: You can either have a school science curriculum actually driven by science.

Or you can have one driven by other factors, such as political ones, the dominant of which today are generally categorized as “wokeness.”

Unscientific “science” is rife now, too. The latest example comes out of the Grand Canyon State, where a parent recently elected to a school board leaked a proposed curriculum that would teach kids the fiction that sex isn’t “binary” but is, well, confusing and a matter of personal preference.

True Patriot Network (TPN) reports on the story, writing that “Heather Rooks, a newly elected, pro-parents rights school board member in Peoria, Arizona revealed to parents, the press, and the world at large that a radical left-inspired science curriculum is being considered by the Peoria Unified School District. A curriculum that foists the blatant claim that … sex is not binary.”

With “less than a month on the job as a member of the school board, Rooks leaked the contents of a proposed textbook that the district was considering for use in its high school[s],” the outlet continues. “Rooks told reporters that she found the science curriculum alarming because it refuted the reality of binary … sex.”

“I mean, these are kids we’re talking about,” Rooks told Fox News Digital about the intellectual rooking. “It’s not adults making adult decisions. These are children. So their minds are… not developed completely yet.”

True, but the implication here is wrong. Just as there’s no “proper age” to start sinning, one never becomes mature enough to harmlessly indulge in a lie. That’s what the so-called “gender” theory is, too. In fact, it’s children who play pretend; adults are there to help moor them to reality.

“Male and Female He Made Them” — Confused They Became

Elaborating on the contents of the proposed curriculum, Fox News reports:

According to a post by Nicole Solas of the Independent Women’s Forum, the textbook said, “The biochemical, physiological, and anatomical features associated with ‘males’ and ‘females’ are turning out to be more complex than previously realized, with many genes involved in their development. We now know [no, they don’t] that sex is not a binary state, with just two defined outcomes.”

“Because of the complexity of the genes and proteins involved in sex determination, many variations exist. Some individuals are born with intermediate sexual characteristics, or even with anatomical features that do not match an individual’s sense of their own gender (‘transgender individuals’). Sex determination is an active area of research that should yield a more sophisticated understanding in years to come.”

This is the standard (and now somewhat stale) politically correct line today, and its repletion with 70-dollar words and scholarly tone can convince many. But it’s sophistry. The issue?

These activists are confusing (purposely, in many cases) abnormalities with normal “complexity.”

These are all abnormalities afflicting one sex or the other, as the mainstream medical website WebMD explains here, here, here, and here.

In point of fact, there are hundreds or even thousands of abnormalities that can afflict humans, only a minority of which relate to sexual development. Moreover, consider that genetic disorders alone can induce as many as 7,000 rare diseases. Yet they are true anomalies, as this “group of conditions affects fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S.,” informs the Cleveland Clinic — out of a population of 335 million.

Should all these abnormalities be written off as normal “complexity”? Should Down syndrome be conflated with a “lifestyle choice”? If someone exhibits hirsutism — as famed sideshow performer Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Boy did — do we say he isn’t completely human? Would we use his existence to justify the claims of someone else, who may experience “species dysphoria,” that he’s an animal stuck in a human body?

If not, why write off sexual-development-related abnormalities as “normal complexity”? Why conflate (for example) Triple X syndrome with a “lifestyle choice”? Why say that because a woman is somewhat hermaphroditic that she — instead of being saddled with an abnormality — isn’t completely female? And why would we use her existence to justify the claims of someone else, who may experience “gender dysphoria,” that he’s a woman stuck in a man’s body?

For the record, since the question “What is a woman?” is now so often asked and seldom properly answered, know that a woman is: an adult member of the species homo sapiens who in principle has an XX chromosome configuration and is genotypically and phenotypically female.

That’s a mouthful because it’s precise. It even accounts for abnormalities — with the two words “in principle.” For as good philosophy teaches, there’s a difference between something being true in principle and it is true in the particular.

For example, an apple in principle is something that doesn’t contain a worm; this definition isn’t negated by the fact that the occasional apple has a worm because the worm isn’t integral to the apple. Likewise, there obviously are deviations among women from the genotypic and phenotypic female norm; it’s also obvious that they have no bearing on what a woman is in principle.

The short version of this is: Leave the kids alone. Their childlike (not childish) conception of boys and girls is far more accurate than what’s disgorged from twisted adult minds.

Iranian caught at Southern border smuggled in car trunk highlights border’s jihad terror threat

He wasn’t on the terror watch list, but why was he trying to sneak into the U.S. at all?

“Iranian smuggled in car trunk shows security threat from our open border,” by Todd Bensman, New York Post, February 2, 2023:

Good news: The Iranian caught in the trunk of a smuggler’s car illegally crossing the southern border last week wasn’t on the FBI’s terrorism watch list, as was previously reported.

Except … even if he wasn’t on the list, how is this not a terrifying sign of the national security threat we face?

The car-trunk Iranian highlights that intercontinental human smuggling networks do indeed bring people from the most adversarial nations in the world, as detailed in my recent book “America’s Covert Border War, the Untold Story of the Nation’s Battle to Prevent Jihadist Infiltration.”

Try as American law enforcement stationed abroad might to disrupt them, these smuggling organizations very much still can and do mainline strangers into Texas from countries where Islamic terrorist groups operate — along with those from nations like Russia, Syria and China.

Last fiscal year, the Border Patrol apprehended 98 immigrants who were on the FBI’s terrorism watch list — an all-time record — and 38 more have been caught in just October, November and December, according to US Customs and Border Protection’s public statistics website.

The probabilities are sky-high that some watch-listed immigrants were among the estimated 300,000 who evaded the Border Patrol in just the past four months — and the 1 million who did so last year.

The danger is real, particularly since Iran’s rulers publicly vow revenge for the killing of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force Gen. Qasem Soleimani. Recent reporting had Iran plotting to assassinate the US ambassador to South Africa in retaliation for the Soleimani killing.

The US security enterprise takes this threat seriously. In late 2020, the Americans were behind the September 2020 bust in Brazil of Reza Sahami, a dual citizen of Canada and Iran who was caught guiding a group of seven Iranian nationals in the city of Assis Brasil on the border of Peru. All seven Iranians possessed fraudulent or altered passports from Israel, Denmark and Canada. The Sahami organization flew Iranians into Canada on fake passports but also had some smuggled over the southern border.

“Sahami has been smuggling criminals across international borders for over 10 years,” said ICE Attaché for Brazil and Bolivia Robert Fuentes in the scarcely reported 2020 ICE press statement.

But even before the Soleimani retaliation threat, American homeland security and intelligence agencies rightly worried that Iran would easily send its spies over the border — or spies of its terrorist offspring, Hezbollah….
