Trump Camp Rips POLITICO’s ‘Laughable’ Claim That China Prefers Him to Biden.

Donald Trump’s campaign has poured scorn on German-owned insider media outlet POLITICO for suggesting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) would prefer a second Trump administration to Joe Biden continuing in the White House.

“In Politico’s Nightly newsletter, Catherine Kim makes a harebrained assertion that China would prefer President Trump to return to the White House,” said Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung.

“The same President Trump who made China submit to pro-America trade and tariff regulations, called them out for exporting the Coronavirus that killed millions across the world, and stood tough against Chinese economic aggression throughout his first term,” he continued.

“For a media outlet and its reporter to peddle lies and feature commentary from a ‘China expert’ named Rorry Daniels — who by the way is a Democrat donor — is laughable at best.”

In its newsletter, POLITICO peddled commentary produced by the aforementioned Daniels, director of the Asia Society Policy Institute, and Jacob Stokes — a staffer at the White House when Joe Biden was Vice President.

It was argued that “Trump’s willingness to be seen as a dealmaker” would be exploited by China — but Cheung argued it is the media that China is exploiting, via its chronic Trump Derangement Syndrome.

“The fact is that China has grown stronger under a weak Biden presidency, and our allies are even more in danger as China builds up its economic and military power,” Cheung said.

He added that “Politico’s official media partner in Asia is the South China Morning Post, widely considered to be the mouthpiece of the CCP.”

POLITICO denied this in a statement to Fox, although an article announcing a content partnership with SCMP published in 2018 remains live on the POLITICO website as of the time of publication.

Migrant Crime

MIGRANT CRIME ROUND-UP: Pedos, Rapists, and Killer Drug Traffickers.

Donald Trump’s warning that Joe Biden’s border crisis is creating a “new category” of “migrant crime” continues to appear prophetic after a week peppered with incidents involving migrant rapists, pedophiles, and murderous drug traffickers – often abetted by the authorities.

PEDOPHILE TRAFFICKER. 

Charges against 23-year-old illegal alien Pablo Mendoza, arrested for raping an extremely vulnerable minor described as “physically helpless or mentally incapacitated,” have been upgraded.

He now stands accused of sodomy, sexual abuse, and human trafficking. Local law enforcement believe he was attempting to pass his victim on to another man, saying they would likely have “a missing 14-year-old girl, and she would not be in our area” had things gone slightly differently.

A DETAINER IGNORED. 

On Wednesday, the Baltimore office of the Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) wing of U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ERO) announced they had detained a Colombian illegal alien, also accused of the “horrific” rape of a Massachusetts minor.

ICE reported the Colombian was initially detained after crossing the border illegally in July 2022, but, like many other illegals, he was released under the so-called Alternative to Detention (ATD) program.

He was arrested for the alleged rape in January. Worryingly, however, the Essex County Sheriff’s Office ignored a detainer request from ICE and released him back onto the streets. He remained at large until late March, seriously endangering public safety.

ENDANGERING THE PUBLIC.

ICE had a similar experience involving a predatory migrant in Maryland; this time, an Indian man was convicted of sexually abusing a minor.

This pedophile was also let loose among the public in defiance of an ICE detainer request, forcing the ERO Baltimore team to track him down.

ERO took the slightly unusual step of publicly calling out the local authorities, namely Howard County Executive Calvin Ball and Howard County Council, for releasing the pedophile.

“This predator’s presence in our area constituted a significant threat to the children of our Maryland neighborhoods,” said ERO Baltimore director Matthew Elliston.

“We cannot allow noncitizen sex offenders to roam the streets of our community,” he added.

THREE FUGITIVE RAPISTS.

ICE announced they successfully removed Aurelio Coy-Quib, 41, Byron Randolfo Parada Vasquez, 27, and Luis Antonio Sian-Gonzalez, 33, to Guatemala on Wednesday.

The three men were all wanted for rape in their home country. Coy-Quib had been released following his initial detention by Border Patrol and, like many illegals, simply skipped immigration court. He remained under the radar for years after a judge ruled he should be deported in absentia, only falling into ICE’s hands when he was arrested for assault.

Parada had been deported after entering illegally at least twice before. The first time, he notched convictions for drug trafficking and assault before his removal. His second deportation was more straightforward, with U.S. officials catching him when he crossed and prosecuting him for illegal reentry. His third deportation followed a similar pattern, except ICE also discovered he was wanted for aggravated rape in Guatemala.

Sian-Gonzalez was also apprehended relatively quickly and also confirmed to be wanted for aggravated rape after being detained.

ALMOST DECAPITATED.

On Monday, Baltazar Perez-Estrada, who had entered the U.S. illegally a mere two weeks ago, walked into Illinois’s Carol Stream Police Department in Illinois and informed officers he had stabbed his wife to death. In fact, he had almost decapitated her in front of their children, reportedly because he had discovered she had a boyfriend.

“The extremely violent end to a young mother’s life is something that should touch us all,” said DuPage County State Attorney Robert Berlin.

“Not only has this senseless and brutal act removed Maricela from [the lives of her family and friends], but it has robbed two young children of their mother,” added Carol Stream Chief of Police Don Cummings.

Like many of the illegal aliens mentioned above, Perez-Estrada was caught by the authorities when he entered the U.S. but was given a court date and left at large.

DOUBLE MURDER DERAILS DEPORTATION.

On Monday, a Haitian migrant was arrested for allegedly stabbing two men to death in Middletown, New York — as he was awaiting a deportation hearing.

Thirty-year-old Kenol Baptiste reportedly stabbed both men multiple times, with one being found dead in the apartment complex they shared with the Haitian and the other found badly wounded on the street. He died in hospital while police dogs hunted down Baptiste in woodland near the crime scene.

The suspected murderer is thought to have entered the U.S. around eight months ago, but the authorities are “still trying to track back how, where, when.”

Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus blamed the Joe Biden regime for the killings and noted Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams had dumped over 80 single male migrants in hotels in the area in May 2023.

TOO MANY CHANCES.

Forty-six-year-old Fermin Garcia-Gutierrez, a Mexican illegal who has already been charged over 20 times and deported an astonishing eight times, is back before the U.S. authorities yet for potentially his worst offense to date after the body of a murder victim was discovered in Ohio.

Garcia-Gutierrez faces charges of premeditated, aggravated murder, various weapons offenses, drug possession, and obstruction. He has assumed at least seven separate identities since 2001, with Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones asking at a Wednesday press conference, “Who knows how many people this guy has been involved in and has killed?”

“Here in the United States, in our jail, he’s had two or three weapons charges, he’s had domestic violence [charges]… driving while intoxicated,” the sheriff said.

“We don’t know how many he’s killed in Mexico.”

While many Democrats have attempted to downplay the impact of migrant crime, Jones stressed that almost 1,000 illegal aliens have entered his jail on state crime charges since Biden assumed office.

KILLER FENTANYL TRAFFICKER. 

The final example on this by no means exhaustive list is an unnamed Dominican charged with fentanyl trafficking, assault and battery, and strangulation.

It now emerges he is wanted in his homeland for murder and illegally entered the U.S. in order to evade a murder trial.

“He made his way to Massachusetts and has been repeatedly apprehended by local authorities and charged with crimes of violence and drug crimes,” ICE confirmed.

Now Tish James is Going After the Firm Backing Trump’s $175M Bond.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is now questioning the financial status and regulatory compliance of the insurer that posted former President Donald Trump’s $175 million bond stemming from her civil fraud prosecution against him. In a court filing on Thursday, James challenged the “sufficiency of the surety” provided by Knight Specialty Insurance Company (KSIC) after a paperwork error resulted in Trump’s bond being temporarily rejected by a New York court the day before.

According to the filing, the New York Attorney General wants KSIC to provide documentation proving their certification to operate in the state. James is asking a state appeals court to order KSIC to produce a “certificate of qualification” within ten days with proof that the company can pay the bond if Trump’s appeals are unsuccessful.

The move by James comes after the initial bond filing on Wednesday was rejected due to missing documents — including a current financial statement from KSIC and the name of his attorney-in-fact. Attorneys for former President Trump resubmitted the corrected paperwork early Thursday.

However, the financial statement has drawn additional scrutiny as it only lists the assets for KSIC and not a related company, Knight Insurance Company LTD. New York insurance law limits the amount an insurer can underwrite on  a single bond to 10 percent of its total “capital and surplus.” KSIC and Knight Insurance Company LTD together meet the capital requirement, but the filing doesn’t clarify if the latter is also underwriting the bond.

Somali Refugee Strangles Pregnant Girlfriend in Alleged Honor Killing.

Mohamedamin Abdirisek Ibrahim, a 22-year-old Somali refugee, has been charged with murder in connection to the death of his seven-months-pregnant Swedish girlfriend, Saga Forsgren Elneborg. Ibrahim is accused of killing 20-year-old Saga Forsgren Elneborg in her Örebro home. The prosecution alleges that Ibrahim strangled Elneborg to death in an alleged honor killing.

Prosecutor Elizabeth Anderson stated that Ibrahim committed the murder in an “honor context,” aiming to maintain or reclaim his family’s honor by killing Elneborg, who was carrying his child. Anderson also noted that there’s no evidence proving that Ibrahim informed his family of his relationship with Elneborg or her pregnancy.

Text messages between the couple suggest Ibrahim feared telling his family about Elneborg’s pregnancy. The messages also indicate that Ibrahim wanted Elneborg to have an abortion. The tension escalated till Elneborg’s death. Ibrahim allegedly used a lamp cord to strangle her.

Ibrahim denies the charges and insists upon his love for his late girlfriend. Ibrahim’s story on the tragedy will further unravel when he faces his murder trial scheduled for next Wednesday.

Sweden, like many European nations, has struggled to integrate migrants from Islamic countries like Somalia. The country is home to several notorious “no-go zones,” and crimes committed by migrants are frequent.

It’s Just a Phase: Study Finds Most Gender-Confused Kids Grow Out of It.

Most children who express gender confusion will grow out of it by the time they’re adults, according to a long-term study.

The details: Researchers in the Netherlands tracked over 2,700 children, beginning at age 11, and followed them through their mid-twenties.

  • Every three years, the children were asked to respond to the statement ‘I wish to be of the opposite sex’ and rank it as: Not True, Sometimes True, or Very True.

The results: The study found that 11 percent of children expressed ‘gender non-contentedness’ to varying degrees. But by age 25, just 4 percent said they were discontent with their gender.

  • The researchers found: “Gender non-contentedness, while being relatively common during early adolescence, in general decreases with age and appears to be associated with a poorer self-concept and mental health throughout development.”

Big picture: This data flies in the face of the transgender movement running amok in the United States today, which advocates for “gender-affirming care” that includes puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and even genital mutilation.

  • In the United States, gender dysphoria has soared in every state since 2018 — except South Dakota.

The numbers: In the U.S., 1.6 million people ages 13 and above identify as transgender. Children under 18 make up roughly 1 in 5 new gender dysphoria diagnoses.

Historian Blasts Biden’s Afghanistan Withdrawal as ‘Greatest Humiliation Since Saigon.’

Historian Victor Davis Hanson has described Joe Biden‘s botched Afghanistan withdrawal as the United States’ “greatest humiliation since Saigon” — when North Vietnamese troops captured the South Vietnamese capital as U.S. forces fled.

Hanson’s comments came during an interview with Nigel Farage on UK news channel GBNews. Hanson pointed to the withdrawal as the moment Americans — and world leaders — started to view Biden as weak.

“Prior to August 2021, he was polling around 53-54 percent approval. That immediately went down to 42 percent,” Hanson noted. “The American people saw it as a disaster. We had just spent $400 million at Bagram with the biggest airbase in Central Asia, which would give us all sorts of options with Iran, China or Russia,” he continued.

“We could have watched the Taliban and the way they were behaving and we fled in the greatest humiliation since Saigon. We left our allies hanging without notice. We left thousands of American contractors, tens of thousands of sympathetic Afghans who were murdered or are sought out.”

Hanson also suggested that Biden’s display of weakness in Afghanistan influenced Vladimir Putin‘s decision to invade Ukraine.

“We left all this hardware that’s now appearing all over the world,” Hanson said. “Also terrorist contracts. Our enemies thought, ‘if they’re going to do that, they’re not going to do anything to us,'” he continued. “Almost immediately, Putin had mass troops on the border. We heard Biden say that if he goes in it’s a minor offensive, there will be no consequences.”

Chicago’s Mayor Wants Biden To Grant Work Permits For Half-A-Million Illegals.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is pushing President Joe Biden to authorize work permits for the nearly half-million illegal immigrants currently residing in Illinois. According to Johnson, Chicago alone can accommodate several hundred thousand more immigrants.

“We need the president to extend the same economic opportunities long term for our undocumented brothers and sisters, so they can build a better life here in the city of Chicago or wherever else they decide to live,” Johnson said during a recent meeting with business leaders. The Chicago mayor argued that the state’s illegal immigrant population should benefit from the same economic opportunities accessible to legal residents.

On Thursday, Johnson — backed by other Democrat mayors, including those from Denver, New York, Seattle, and San Francisco – submitted a formal request for the work permit increase to the Biden White House. “I remain standing in my belief that a more inclusive and equitable future for all residents is truly possible, whether they arrived here yesterday or have been here for an extended period of time,” he wrote.

Johnson’s request comes as part of a broader effort by Democrat mayors to urge the Biden government to expedite work permit issuances for the new wave of illegal immigrants and to extend current permits, which are set to expire in late April. They contend that without additional permits, their municipalities will be overwhelmed by their growing population of illegal immigrants who are currently unable to seek legal work. In response to a joint appeal from more than forty mayors in February, the Biden government has increased the extension time from 180 to 540 days for specific categories of illegal immigrants.

Despite widespread local disapproval surrounding the illegal immigrant influx, Johnson remains staunch in his advocacy for the immigrant community, even as thousands continue to inhabit city shelters.

Trump Warns Israel is ‘Losing the PR War,’ Urges End to Gaza Conflict.

Former President Donald Trump said Israel must quickly end its war against Hamas in Gaza as he warned the Jewish state is “losing the PR war.”

“Get it over with and let’s get back to peace and stop killing people. And that’s a very simple statement,” Trump told radio host Hugh Hewitt on Thursday. “They have to get it done. Get it over with and get it over with fast because we have to — you have to get back to normalcy and peace.”

Trump specifically called out Israel for releasing video footage of its military actions against the Palestinians. “They shouldn’t be releasing tapes like that,” he said. “That’s why they’re losing the PR war. They, Israel is absolutely losing the PR war.”“They’re releasing the most heinous, most horrible tapes of buildings falling down. And people are imagining there’s a lot of people in those buildings, or people in those buildings, and they don’t like it,” Trump continued. “They’re losing the PR war. They’re losing it big. But they’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”

Once supported staunchly in its conflict against Hamas by both Trump and Joe Biden, Israel has seen its support across the world dwindle as humanitarian concerns in Gaza grow. Trump earlier warned that Israel must “finish up” the conflict amidst waning support.

Support for the Jewish state has declined even more since then, following a seemingly intentional attack against foreign aid workers in Gaza this week. The attack marked a major turning point for Israel’s relationships with Western powers, as calls in the U.S. and the UK to stop sending arms to Israel are increasingly gaining support.

FBI Orchestrated Jan 6 Riots ‘to Entrap MAGA Americans,’ Explains Congress’ Homeland Security Chief.

Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), who chairs the Homeland Security Committee’s border subcommittee, is claiming Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents entrapped the U.S. Capitol rioters on January 6, 2021. The four-term Louisana Republican, speaking with the Implicit Bias podcast, said he reached his conclusion after conducting his own investigation into the matter.

According to Higgins, the protestors were incited to violence by “ghost buses” filled with FBI agent provocateurs. He added that when the House of Representatives finishes with the process of releasing the security tapes from that day, the federal prosecution of the January 6 rioters will fall apart.

“The whole thing was a nefarious agenda to entrap MAGA Americans,” the Congressman said. He added: “The original seeds of riotous or illegal or occupation behavior amongst these groups were planted by the FBI-embedded agents in those groups.”

While there has been no conclusive evidence that the FBI instigated the January 6 riot, several law enforcement officials have admitted that federal agents were among the crowd on that day. The National Pulse reported in August of last year that former Capitol Hill Police Chief Steven Sund had told Tucker Carlson in an unaired Fox News interview that “there was a fair amount of law enforcement” in the January 6 crowd. Sund said in the days after the riot, he discovered that the FBI had at least 18 undercover agents in the crowd.

In May of last year, an FBI whistleblower told the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government that the bureau withheld further CCTV footage from the riot over fears of outing “undercover” agents present in the crowd. In January 2022, FBI Executive Assistant Director Jill Sanborn refused to deny the FBI’s involvement in the January 6 violence.

DOJ Admits Ashley Biden’s Diary – Which Claims Familial Molestation – Is Real.

The Justice Department has asked a New York district judge to send Aimee Harris, the woman who stole Ashley Biden‘s diary, to prison for four to 10 months.

Prosecutors initially sought a sentence of six months of home confinement and three years of supervised release for Aimee Harris. However, prosecutors now argue that Harris’s multiple requests to move her hearing date amount to an effort to “improperly delay” her sentencing and are seeking a stiffer sentence.

According to the Department of Justice, the stolen diary was part of a haul that included tax records, private family photographs, and a personal cellphone. All of the items were found in the same Florida home where Ashley Biden once resided.

The legal document, filed by U.S. Attorney Damian Williams, emphasizes the defendant’s disregard for court proceedings and her unwillingness to work within the legal framework. Harris allegedly made false statements to earn unwarranted breaks, refused court appearances, and neglected to provide required information to the court.

After acquiring the diary and other belongings, Harris enlisted Robert Kurlander’s aid to orchestrate a sale. The materials eventually found their way to conservative media outlet Project Veritas in the lead-up to the 2020 election, earning the duo $40,000.

The contents of the diary did not go public, but parts of it were eventually disseminated online, including disturbing revelations about Biden taking showers with her father. “Was I molested? I think so — I can’t remember specifics but I do remember trauma. Hyper-sexualized @ a young age . . . I remember being somewhat sexualized with Caroline; I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/my dad (probably not appropriate),” Biden wrote.

Harris’s sentencing hearing is set for April 9 and prosecutors have warned against further avoidance, threatening an enhancement for obstruction of justice.
