How Fitting: Soros Pours Cash into ‘Crooked Media’ Amidst Major Broadcast Push.

Soros Fund Management, founded by nonagenarian plutocrat and convicted insider trader George Soros, is investing heavily in radio and podcasting as his empire passes into the hands of his White House-linked son, Alex Soros.

Sources who have “been involved in discussions with Soros executives” have revealed the 93-year-old globalist may be preparing the ground for a major “audio buying spree,” having already invested millions in the industry since 2022.

These investments include backing a firm involved in the 2022 takeover of 18 Hispanic radio stations, including Cuban conservative stations in Miami, which Democrat operatives will now oversee. Also in 2022, Soros invested an “undisclosed sum” in podcasting network ‘Crooked Media,’ which hosts the Pod Save America show — a significant player in leftist media, fronted by Barack Obama staffers and boasting around 1.5 million listeners per episode.

This year, Soros Fund Management became the number one shareholder of Audacy, which, with over 230 stations, is the second-largest radio broadcaster in the United States and also runs a podcasting arm.

One of several podcasting companies Soros is looking to buy into is Lemonada, which recently signed divorced actress turned problem royal Meghan Markle.

Semafor, the globalist media outlet that reported the mooted “buying spree,” noted it could impact the U.S. election in November and suggested conservative radio hosts may feel unable to “second-guess” potentially fraudulent results.

Biden ‘Soiled’ White House Resolute Desk, Says Trump.

Former President Donald Trump told donors that the aging Joe Biden, noted for his physical impairment and memory lapses, may have “literally” soiled the famous Resolute Desk in the White House’s Oval Office.

Trump’s remarks came during a Saturday evening fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida. Trump criticized President Joe Biden’s border policy and commented on further poor decision-making in the Oval Office, specifically referring to the historically significant Resolute Desk.

“The Resolute Desk is beautiful,” said Trump. “Ronald Reagan used it, others used it. And [Biden’s] using it. I might not use it the next time. It’s been soiled. And I mean that literally, which is sad,” Trump continued.

The Resolute Desk was a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880 and was made from the timbers of the British Arctic exploration ship HMS Resolute. It has been used by many U.S. presidents in the Oval Office, symbolizing the close relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom.

While Trump’s remarks were likely in jest — “The attendee who witnessed the moment said that dinner guests laughed,” reported The New York Times — some mainstream media organizations have sought to depict Trump’s joke as a “baseless” lie. The Independent, for example, reported that “Trump wildly claims Biden ‘soiled’ himself on White House Resolute desk in latest baseless rant.”

Earlier this year, the Trump campaign released a video mocking Biden’s age-addled body and mind, joking that the octogenarian is enjoying “White House senior living.” Biden’s frailty and cognitive impairment have become an increasing concern for Democrats heading into the 2024 election.

Zelensky Admits Ukraine is Losing.

President Volodymyr Zelensky has admitted that “Ukraine will lose” if the U.S. Congress does not provide him with more aid. The statement necessarily implies the country is on the back foot in its war against Russia, following Vladimir Putin’s “special military operation” that began in February 2022.

“It is necessary to specifically tell Congress that if Congress does not help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose the war,” Zelensky said bluntly on Sunday, claiming that if his forces are defeated, “other states will be attacked.”

The Ukrainian leader’s call for more aid comes as Maksym Zhorin, deputy commander of Zelensky’s 3rd Assault Brigade, has told the Western press the Ukrainian military is now strained to breaking point, with Russian forces continuing to advance following their successful capture of the fortress town of Avdeyevka.

“The average Ukrainian infantryman is tired, exhausted by the dynamics of war, and by the events that have transpired. They are almost faint. Unfortunately, that is the truth,” Zhorin said.

He added that he did not believe Zelensky’s moves to lower the conscription age from 27 to 25 would be enough to address the country’s manpower shortages and that younger Ukrainians would have to be drafted.

“I would decrease the age further. As difficult as this is to say, young people must fight,” he said.

“It is too difficult to keep the older soldiers motivated and they often have chronic health issues. Young people are more motivated, more energetic, and more willing to fight.”

The average age of a Ukrainian soldier is currently 43.

Near 50% of UK Muslims Declare Sympathy With Hamas.

Research by the Henry Jackson Society has revealed only one in four British Muslims believe it is definitively true that Hamas perpetrated acts of murder and rape during their attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. British Muslims seem to be more sympathetic to Hamas the younger and better educated they are, with 40 percent of the university-educated and 47 percent of 18-24-year-olds dismissing the notion Hamas committed atrocities.

Forty-six percent of British Muslims declared outright sympathy with Hamas — with the same proportion saying Jews have too much power over government policy.

The survey also found that an alarming proportion of British Muslims hold Islamist views generally. Fifty-two percent believe displaying images of Mohammed, the Islamic prophet, should be criminalized, while 32 percent wish to see Sharia law implemented in the United Kingdom.

With the Muslim population of Britain officially numbering four million — greater than the total populations of Wales or Northern Ireland — the findings suggest the country has failed to integrate many hundreds of thousands of Muslims.

“What is probably going wrong is an unwillingness to tackle this kind of extremism for fear of being labeled Islamophobic or racist,” suggested Henry Jackson Society executive director Alan Mendoza.

Prevent, the official British counter-terrorism program has become increasingly obsessed with the “far right,” dealing with significantly more referrals for the “Extreme Right Wing” than for Islamism despite the vast majority of terror plots detected by the authorities being Islamist.

REVEALED: WaPo Journo Who Celebrates Hamas Lives as Asylum Seeker in London.

Hajar Harb, a Palestinian journalist and Washington Post contributor who appeared to post messages celebrating the October 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israel and mocking their victims, lives in London, England, as an asylum seeker. Harb was outed by the Campaign for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA) for the posts, which have now been deleted.

The images include a picture of Hamas jihadists bursting into an Israeli building captioned, “Now we can truly say good morning,” another picture of jihadists infiltrating an Israeli city titled, “Enjoy your view,” and photos of an elderly Israeli woman and an Israeli woman with her young children, with captions appearing to mock them.

Harb also posted the number ‘600’ picked out in flowers when that appeared to be the Israeli death toll — it later rose to around 1,200 — with Arabic captions said to suggest she found the number “beautiful” or “sweet.”

It now emerges Harb herself fled from Hamas to the UK in 2019 after reporting that its health ministry in Gaza — responsible for the casualty counts emerging from the territory — was falsifying medical reports in exchange for cash. She was later given leave to remain.

London has become a haven for many Hamas sympathizers and even members, including Muhammad Qassem Sawalha — who is wanted by the Israeli government for helping command the terror organization in the West Bank.

Swalha lives in a substantial two-story property with its own garden and garage, originally provided by the state and eventually purchased by him with a £112,000 ($141,300) government discount.

The Washington Post says it is investigating Harb’s posts.

WATCH: Muslims Chant ‘Death to America!’ at Michigan Rally as Feds Continue Crackdown on ‘MAGA Extremism.’

Demonstrators in the Muslim stronghold of Dearborn, Michigan, chanted anti-America and anti-Israel slogans during a speech by Islamist activist Tarek Bazzi at a Quds Day rally. Quds Day, which takes its name from the Arabic name for Jerusalem, was instituted by Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini of Iran in 1979 and is held on the last day of Ramadan each year.

Tensions were high during the Quds Day rally in Dearborn, with Bazzi, tied to the Hadi Institute, declaring it is “not just Genocide Joe that has to go” — a reference to Joe Biden, accused of facilitating Israel’s war in Gaza — but “the entire system.”

“Any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen and would support it, such a system does not deserve to exist on God’s Earth,” he added.

At another point in his speech, he said, “Imam Khomeini, who declared the International Al-Quds Day, this is why he would say to pour all of your chants and all of your shouts upon the head of America.”

“Death to America!” the crowd chanted.

Bazzi was still more explicit in his attacks, saying: “[W]hen these fools ask us if Israel has the right to exist, the chant ‘Death to Israel!’ has become the most logical chant shouted across the world today!”

This also prompted chants of “Death to Israel!”

Bazzi also had a small child take to the microphone to shout “Free, Free Palestine” and “From the River to the Sea,” widely recognized as a call for the destruction of Israel across its entire geographical extent, from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has doubled down on its persecution of MAGA-supporting Americans, recently prosecuting 71-year-old great-grandmother Rebecca Lavrenz for praying inside the U.S. Capitol. The Biden White House continues its outreach to Arab and Muslim Americans such as those depicted in the video below, many of whom have received direct outreach from the White House.

EU Plans Mass Surveillance of Private Chats.

The European Union is attempting to implement the mass surveillance of private chats online under the guise of combating child sexual abuse.

The full text of the “Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse” contains provisions opponents are calling “chat control,” permitting EU authorities to engage in “bulk chat searches” of so-called “high-risk services.” Opponents say this effectively grants the EU carte blanche to access citizens’ private online communications.

“Limiting bulk chat searches to ‘high-risk services’ is meaningless because every communication service is misused also for sharing illegal images and therefore has an imminently high risk of abuse,” said German MEP Patrick Breyer.

“As the Council’s legal service has confirmed, the latest move does not change the nature of detection orders. Millions of private chats and private photos of law-abiding citizens are to be searched and leaked using flawed technology, without them being even remotely connected to child sexual abuse – this destroys our digital privacy of correspondence,” Beyer explained. “Despite lip service being paid to encryption, client-side scanning is to be used to undermine previously secure end-to-end encryption in order to turn our smartphones into spies.”

Confirmation of the EU’s “chat control” plans comes as the bloc is preparing to engage in the mass censorship of its citizens in the run-up to the upcoming European elections.

Media Peddles Ludicrous Claim That ‘Border Crisis Might Be a Boon for the Economy.’

Semafor, an influential globalist media outlet founded by former BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith and former Bloomberg chief executive Justin B. Smith, has suggested the “border crisis might be a boon for the economy,” citing a former economist at Joe Biden’s White House.

Semafor’s Jordan Weissmann suggested it is “a bit like Biden ran an accidental experiment to test the economic impact of open borders – and it turned out better than anyone could have hoped,” citing post-pandemic economic growth.

However, while Ernie Tedeschi’s assessment of immigration figures post-pandemic “includ[ed] immigrants with both legal and non-legal status,” it made no mention of the southern border whatsoever.

Tedeschi also made almost no mention of the impact of immigration on economic growth per capita — that is, whether or not immigration makes individual Americans better off, instead of just increasing the size of the economy overall by increasing the number of people in it.

Only once, buried in the footnotes to his article, does Tedeschi mention economic growth per capita, admitting it “is less affected by immigration in the short-run” and “may even be temporarily lower, depending on the types of immigrants arriving.”

Economic nationalists and even some leftist labor leaders, such as the late Cesar Chavez, have long argued mass immigration makes Americans worse off at the individual level, by increasing the supply of labor and undercutting local workers who might otherwise be able to command better pay and conditions.

The former Biden staffer also fails to consider that some of the countries he compares unfavorably to the U.S. in terms of post-pandemic economic growth have also hugely increased immigration.

The United Kingdom increased net immigration from 184,000 in 2019 to an unprecedented 745,000 by 2022, yet growth remained sluggish and productivity stagnant.

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.
