Trump, Bannon & More Star in Hard-Hitting New Documentary.

The American Principles Project (APP) has released a new documentary recounting the tragic story of the 2021 suicide bombing at Abbey Gate in Kabul airport, which claimed over 180 lives, including those of 13 American military personnel. ‘Culture War: The Deadly Consequences of a Woke War Machine’ investigates the far-left cultural policies within the military enacted by the Biden–Harris government and how those policies precipitated the deadly attack.

“The disastrous and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan did not happen in a vacuum. For years, our military has been gradually weakened by far-left cultural policies imposed by Democrats,” said APP’s president, Terry Schilling—who also served as an executive producer on the project along with the Logan Circle Group’s Harlan Hill. Schilling continued: “[U]nder the current Biden–Harris administration, this social experimentation has gone into overdrive, with predictably catastrophic results.”

“No more men and women in uniform should have their lives put at risk because of the failures of incompetent ideologues here in Washington. Our military, and our entire country, deserve better,” he added.

Released on YouTube and X (formerly Twitter), ‘Culture War’ features perspectives from top U.S. political leaders, including former President Donald J. Trump, former White House Chief Strategist and War Room host Stephen K. Bannon, former Trump White House chief-of-staff Mark Meadows, and Representatives Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Jim Banks (R-IN). Through interviews with policymakers closely connected to the events leading up to the deadly bombing and family members of four service members who perished, the film offers an in-depth look into the Biden–Harris government’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.

Dog Returns to Its Own Vomit.

Brian Stelter is set to make his return to CNN, resuming his role with the Reliable Sources newsletter. Subscribers to the newsletter were informed via email that Stelter will be back at the helm starting September 9.

Stelter, who exited CNN two years ago, noted substantial changes since his departure. “But this is not going to be a ‘Back to the Future’ remake,” Stelter addressed his readers.

“The media industry has matured, CNN has evolved, and I have changed a lot since I signed off two years ago. I loved my old life as the anchor of a Sunday morning show, but to borrow some lingo from my video game blogger days, I finished that level of the game. Time for new levels, new challenges.”

Stelter originally launched Reliable Sources in 2015. However, the television segment was discontinued in 2022, leading to his departure from CNN.

Oliver Darcy, who succeeded Stelter in managing the newsletter, departed in August to start his own venture titled Status. Stelter’s exit came under the leadership of Chris Licht, who was later replaced by Mark Thompson after Licht was removed from his position.

University Removes ‘Anglo-Saxon’ from Course To Decolonize… England.

An English university has announced it will ” decolonize ” a master’s course in early medieval history by scrapping the term “Anglo-Saxon” and replacing it with “Early Medieval English.” The University of Nottingham’s Viking and Anglo-Saxon Studies program claims the term Anglo-Saxon is linked to “nationalist narratives,” including those who use it as a distinct form of English identity.

Staff at the university say they are concerned about beliefs that English identity is somehow distinct as an ethnic group. Additionally, the university says that in the future, it will tackle the use of “Viking”—an old Scandinavian term that loosely translates as pirate or raider.

The move by the University of Nottingham follows other erasures of English heritage in education. One of the UK’s most prestigious universities, the University of Cambridge, changed its materials to teach that Anglo-Saxons did not exist as a distinct ethnic group.

Since the 2020 Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests and riots in both the United States and parts of Europe, there have been moves within various universities to “decolonize” subjects they deem as being “too white.” In one case, a University of Cambridge professor named Priyamvada Gopal took to X (formerly Twitter) in 2020 to state, “White Lives Don’t Matter,” and called to “abolish whiteness.”

The Indian-born Marxist academic later claimed that Britain’s World War II era Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, was a “racist,” taking part in a discussion of the legacy of his racial views.

In the United States, some academics have claimed universities are not woke enough, with one Florida academic announcing his resignation from the New College of Florida and threatening to burn it to the ground over conservative trustees appointing a new president last year.

Six Officials In Zelensky’s Ukrainian Govt Resign, Signaling Major Reshuffle.

At least six prominent officials in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky‘s government submitted letters of resignation on Tuesday, signaling a significant reshuffling of the country’s political leadership. Strategic Industries Minister Oleksandr Kamyshin—who oversees weapons production—stepped down in anticipation of a new appointment.

Kamyshin’s announcement precedes the resignations of Deputy Prime Ministers Olha Stefanishyna and Iryna Vereshchuk, Justice Minister Denys Maliuska, and Ecology Minister Ruslan Strilets. Vitalii Koval, who oversees the State Property Fund of Ukraine (SPFU), also resigned. The resignations were submitted to Chairman Ruslan Stefanchuk, who leads the country’s unicameral parliament.

The departures will leave nearly a third of President Zelensky‘s cabinet position vacant after the leader fired several ministers earlier this year. David Arakhamia, who heads Zelensky’s Servant of the People’s Party, stated that a significant government reshuffle was underway.

“Tomorrow is the day of dismissals, and the day after that is the day of appointments,” said Arakhamia in response to the resignation announcements.

It is speculated that Zelensky will attempt to fill his cabinet vacancies quickly ahead of a planned U.S. visit later this month. The Ukrainian leader intends to appeal to American lawmakers, including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, to supply the country with more aid in its ongoing war with Russia.

In recent weeks, Ukrainian forces launched an incursion into Russian territory—threatening the city of Kursk. While the move appears to have been intended to draw Russian troops away from front-line positions in Ukraine, it has thus far had little impact. Currently, the Russian military continues to push toward the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, a strategic rail hub for supplying Ukrainian forces in the Donetsk region. If the city is captured, it could imperil Ukrainian troops to the south with possible encirclement.

Polish Globalist Minister Advocates Shooting Down Russian Missiles Over Ukraine.

Poland’s globalist foreign minister said his country should intercept and neutralize Russian missiles over Ukrainian territory before they breach its airspace on Monday. Radoslaw Sikorski’s remarks, made during an interview with the Financial Times, come despite NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg opposing the action.

Sikorski emphasized the necessity of protecting national airspace independently of NATO’s stance, suggesting that objects heading toward Poland warrant action before reaching Polish skies. He underscored that safeguarding airspace is a constitutional duty for each NATO member.

“Membership in NATO does not trump each country’s responsibility for the protection of its own airspace,” Sikorski said. He also described such actions as legitimate self-defense, highlighting the potential risks from missile debris should they enter national territory.

Sikorski is noted for his anti-Russian stance. Prior to becoming Foreign Minister, he posted on social media a ‘thank you’ to the United States for destroying the Nord Stream pipeline. However, last month, it was revealed the Ukrainians may have conducted the operation as Germany issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian national they believe responsible for the pipeline’s destruction.

In July, Poland signed an agreement with Kiev, permitting the interception of missiles over Ukraine. Nonetheless, the Polish government indicated it would not intervene in Ukrainian airspace without prior consultation with other NATO members. Meanwhile, NATO has consistently declined requests to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine, citing the risk of direct military confrontation with Russia.

Just last week, an unidentified object, likely a military drone, crossed into Polish airspace from Ukraine. The Polish armed forces could not engage the object due to its unidentified nature.

Illegals Responsible for 75 Percent of Midtown Manhattan Crime: Police.

Police sources estimate three out of every four individuals apprehended for assault, domestic violence, and robbery in Midtown Manhattan are illegal aliens. Law enforcement officers in Queens estimate that “over 60 percent” of those arrested for similar offenses in their area are illegals.

New York Police Department (NYPD) officers face challenges due to sanctuary laws, which hinder cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“I would say about 75 percent of the arrests in Midtown Manhattan are migrants, mostly for robberies, assaults, domestic incidents, and selling counterfeit items,” a Midtown police source told the New York Post. Another source estimated “more than 60 percent” of arrestees in Jackson Heights, Queens, are migrants, while a Queens Criminal Courthouse officer said, “Almost every case is a migrant.”

Officers described how “Roosevelt Avenue and 91st Street looks like a scene from ‘Casablanca’ with all the vendors… The area has become a Third World country, and it seems like City Hall doesn’t care about the taxpayers who live and work here.”

An NYPD spokesman told the Post that, officially, “Police officers are prohibited from asking about the immigration status of crime victims, witnesses, or suspects, and therefore, the NYPD doesn’t track data pertaining to immigration statuses.”

Since spring 2022, approximately 210,000 illegal immigrants have arrived in New York City, with the ongoing migrant crisis projected to cost the city $10 billion over the next three years.

Illegal Alien Arrested for Stabbing 14-Year-Old Girl at Brother’s Baseball Game.

An illegal immigrant who is believed to have ties to organized criminal gangs was arrested over the Labor Day weekend for stabbing a 14-year-old girl at a baseball game in northwest Indiana. Law enforcement hunted for the suspect for nearly a day following the Saturday stabbing. Eventually, 26-year-old Dimas Gabriel Yanez—a Honduran national—was arrested on Sunday after being cornered in a cornfield.

According to multiple accounts, the illegal Honduran immigrant stabbed the girl in the hand with a “butcher-style knife” and attempted to stab her mother.

Yanez had previously been deported to Honduras in 2018 under former President Donald J. Trump. Investigators state that the 26-year-old illegal became involved with organized criminal enterprises after illegally reentering the United States.

Because of the proximity of the stabbing to Chicago, some are pointing the finger at the city’s Democratic mayor, Brandon Johnson, and his sanctuary policies for sheltering Yanez. It remains unclear, however, if the Honduran traveled from Chicago to the baseball game.

“After an intense manhunt and an eventual foot pursuit, a person of interest in the weekend stabbing of a teenager in Lowell was taken into custody this afternoon,” Sheriff Oscar Martinez Jr. said in a statement. “Investigators have learned Yanez had been deported to Honduras in 2018 and may have been engaged in criminal activity across the United States since returning to the country illegally.”

“The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has been notified of his arrest,” Martinez added.

The sheriff notes that Yanez appeared to be cutting his hair to change his appearance when he was encountered and eventually apprehended by law enforcement.

Top Democrat Aide Arrested as Agent of Communist China.

A former deputy chief of staff for Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) has been arrested by federal law enforcement for acting as an unregistered foreign agent on behalf of the People’s Republic of China and accepting kickbacks from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Linda Sun and her husband, Chris Hu, were taken into custody early Tuesday morning after a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raid on their multi-million dollar Long Island residence.

The Democrat aide worked as an Asian-American affairs liaison under former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) before being elevated to deputy chief of staff under Hochul. Sun was later transferred to the state’s Department of Labor, where she was fired earlier this year over undisclosed “misconduct” allegations.

According to the now unsealed 64-page federal indictment, Sun and Hu coordinated efforts to advance the interests of the CCP in New York. The ex-aide to the Democratic governor is accused of blocking attempts by the Taiwanese government to meet with Hochul and editing the statements of undisclosed state leaders to be more friendly towards Communist China.

“The defendant and her husband actually worked to further the interests of the Chinese government and the CCP,” U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said in a statement following the unsealing of the indictment. “The illicit scheme enriched the defendant’s family to the tune of millions of dollars.”

Federal prosecutors allege that Sun and Hu took millions of dollars in payments from the Chinese Communist regime in exchange for aiding the foreign influence operation. Some of the money taken by the couple was used in the purchase of their $4.1 million Long Island, New York home.

Sun is a close ally of Congresswoman Grace Meng (D-NY). She is the latest Democrat to be arrested in connection to a foreign influence scheme.

Jobless Migrants Costing UK Over $11.1 BILLION Per Year.

A record number of jobless migrants in the United Kingdom are costing the country at least £8.5 billion (~$11.14 billion) annually. Around 1.68 million migrants are either looking for work or are classed as “economically inactive.”

Government Office for National Statistics (ONS) data suggests that the 2024 jobs figures represent the highest migrant joblessness rate since 2012. When social services, healthcare, transport, and other costs are considered, estimated costs to taxpayers could be far higher than £8.5 billion pounds, skyrocketing to as much as £20.3 billion (~$26.6 billion) a year.

Robert Bates, research director at the Centre for Migration Control, says the new leftist Labour government should stop handing out long-term visas when so many migrants are not working.

“This is the very definition of a Ponzi scheme, and we will only compound the problem if we do not change course soon,” he said.

Britain has seen unprecedented illegal and legal migration in recent years, with net immigration running at 764,000 in 2022. This is significantly straining the housing supply. To alleviate the problem and help build new homes, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner wants the country bring in even more migrants on supposedly “temporary” visas.

Other Western nations are also dealing with significant unemployment among their migrant populations. In Sweden, migrant unemployment is often several orders of magnitude above native-born Swedes. Migrants also account for around 80 percent of all welfare fraud in the country.

Meanwhile, the Danish Finance Ministry published a report noting that migrants from at least 24 different Muslim-majority countries make no net contribution to public finances.

Britain Suspends Arms Sales to Israel.

Britain’s far-left government is suspending a portion of its arms sales to Israel, alleging a “clear risk” that they could potentially be utilized in ways that violate international humanitarian law. In a statement to Parliament on Monday, Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the suspension will affect 30 out of 350 arms export licenses to Israel.

The suspension targets supplies that might be used in the ongoing conflict in Gaza against Hamas, but some exports, such as parts for F-35 fighter jets, will continue.

“It is with regret that I inform the House [of Commons] today that the assessment I have received leaves me unable to conclude anything other than that for certain UK arms exports to Israel, there does exist a clear risk that they might be used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian law,” Lammy said.

“We recognize, of course, Israel’s need to defend itself against security threats, but we are deeply worried by the methods that Israel’s employed, and by reports of civilian casualties and the destruction of civilian infrastructure particularly,” the Labour Party politician added.

According to Gaza’s Hamas-controlled Health Ministry, more than 40,000 Palestinians have died in the conflict over the past ten months.

IMPLICATIONS.

British arms exports make up less than one percent of Israel’s total arms purchases, so the move is unlikely to have a significant impact on the course of the war. It is likely intended mainly for domestic consumption, with Muslims in Britain, generally loyal to Labour, turning away from the party over Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s insufficient support for Gaza.

Several Labour politicians, including a member of the then-Shadow Cabinet, lost their seats to pro-Gaza independents in the July 4 snap election. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has been filmed telling a council of Muslim elders she owes her parliamentary seat to their support and promising to recognize Palestinian statehood.

British cities, in particular the hyper-diverse capital of London, where only 36.8 percent of residents were classed as White British in the latest census, have been regularly disrupted by pro-Palestinian demonstrators since Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023.
