Poland’s New Globalist Govt Fires 50 Diplomats.

Poland’s new globalist government announced Wednesday its intention to recall 50 ambassadors appointed by the previous right-wing administration.

The Foreign Ministry claimed the initiative is part of an overarching strategy to improve the effectiveness of their diplomatic missions. The government refrained from releasing the names of the diplomats being recalled, leaving Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski to manage the process, which Prime Minister Donald Tusk has approved.

The Foreign Ministry also conveyed that the diplomatic reshuffle was critical to ensure a proficient execution of Poland’s complex foreign policy, without explicitly mentioning any timeline or plans for replacements. Despite this, the decision may face opposition from President Andrzej Duda, known for his connections with the previous government and his criticism of Tusk.

In circumstances where the recalls do not receive presidential approval, the Charges d’Affaires would control the missions. Despite emphasizing the need for “loyal envoys” in this challenging time — with neighboring Ukraine and Russia at war — Tusk insisted the recalls were “not a retaliation” against the former nationalist-populist Law and Justice government.

However, Tusk’s claims that the recalls are not “retaliation” against the former government have been met with skepticism, as his regime moved to arrest political opponents almost as soon as it took power.

WATCH: ‘They’re Whores’ – Laura Loomer Exposes Pay-for-Play Congressional TikTok Apologists.

Investigative reporter Laura Loomer has slammed TikTok apologists in the U.S. Congress as “bought and paid for” by vested interests, willing to sell their country out “like a bunch of cheap hookers.”

Speaking on Steve Bannon’s War Room, Loomer said, “we have to be aggressive with these people because they’re whores.”

“I have to expose these political prostitutes for what they are,” she continued, highlighting Senator Rand Paul and Senator Mike Lee, in particular.

“[They] are on Twitter… talking about how, ‘Oh, we are against a ban on TikTok because it is a violation of freedom of expression’ – but then what they don’t want to tell you is that they are bankrolled by Jeffrey Yass, who is a billionaire GOP megadonor and also happens to be the largest U.S. investor to TikTok,” she explained.

“Rand Paul didn’t disclose the fact that he received $2.3 million dollars from Jeffrey Yass,” she said, adding Lee also received a “max donation” from the billionaire.

Paul has reportedly received over $10 million from Jeffrey Yass, whose stake in China-based TikTok parent company ByteDance is worth around $33 billion, since 2020.

Yas has been “bullying” a number of GOP lawmakers over legislation that would force TikTok to cut ties with ByteDance, explained by The National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam on Wednesday.

The Kentucky Senator, who has characterized the communist influence tool as nothing but “a few dance videos,” posted on X that “reactionaries” are wrong to say TikTok is “owned by China,” citing its “international investors” – like Yass.

Paul’s post was slapped with a Community Note advising X users the Chinese state holds “a ‘golden share’ stake in ByteDance,” allowing it “to outvote all other shareholders.”

The CCP holds also controls one of three veto-wielding seat on ByteDance’s three-man board of directors, occupied by CCP executive Wu Shugang.

Loomer took particular issue with Paul’s free speech defense of TikTok, asking: “Since when does the Chinese Communist Party care about freedom of speech?”

“If you make a TikTok video and you criticize Xi Jinping you will go to jail; you will be thrown into a Chinese concentration camp like the Uyghurs,” she added.

Biden’s DOJ Silences Immigration Judges Amid Criticism Over Meddling In 3 Million-Case Backlog.

The Department of Justice has imposed a policy requiring immigration judges to seek department approval before speaking with the media or the general public. An organization representing the interests of immigration judges says the move effectively prevents them from voicing their opinions publicly amidst a surge of 3 million unresolved cases.

According to the orders given by Chief Immigration Judge Sheila McNulty, the judges, who are part of the National Association of Immigration Judges (NAIJ), must first receive authorization from the DOJ before expressing their views. The gag-order-like policy for immigration judges does not appear to have any precedent under prior presidential administrations.

The instruction comes at a point when immigration services are being inundated by an invasion of illegal immigrants at the US southern border. Before the new policy, the NAIJ — represented under the umbrella of the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers union — had been publicly raising the alarm regarding the overwhelmed immigration system. Federation president Matt Biggs criticized the DOJ order for curtailing the free speech of his union membership.

With the border crisis unabetted by the Biden government, the immigration case backlog continues to worsen. Each of the 682 immigration judges in December had a caseload of around 4,500. The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University stated that judges can conclude approximately 750 cases annually.

In a public statement, Judge Mimi Tsankov, who presides over the NAIJ, attributed a share of the blame for the increasing backlog to the Department of Justice’s ineffective leadership and intrusive intervention in the immigration court system. The case backlog has soared from just over half a million in September 2016 to 3 million in November 2023 — with the number of cases continuing to grow.

‘Envy of the World’ UK Health Service Irradiating Patients with Outdated Machines.

Britain’s socialized health service is exposing patients to excessive radiation with out-of-date radiology machines. A National Health Service (NHS) trust covering nearly half a million people in Kent, England, has been using machines that expired up to four years ago.

“Until this equipment is replaced we cannot easily reduce the dose to patients,” trust board papers state. Parts failures in the old machines result in lengthy, unreliable scans at “the upper limit of safe” in terms of patient irradiation.

Forty-eight percent of NHS trusts use CT and MRI scanners beyond their recommended ten-year life span. The socialized health service, which politicians have often portrayed as “the envy of the world,” also has the fewest CT and MRI scanners per head of any Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) country.

In early March, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, the second-most senior politician in the United Kingdom, claimed “[t]he NHS is, rightly, the biggest reason most of us are proud to be British.”

Days later it was reported that just one NHS hospital had amputated the limbs of at least six people in error, with over a hundred similar botch jobs reported across the country over just three years.

Noncitizens Could Serve as Election Administrators.

Rep. August Pfluger (R-Texas) has proposed a legislative measure restricting noncitizens, including illegal aliens, from serving as election administrators. The “No Foreign Persons Administering Our Elections Act” seeks to ensure the sanctity of the democratic process by limiting election administration for federal positions to US citizens only.

The measure is part of a broader Republican effort to maintain the integrity of the election process. It follows the appointment of Kelly Wong, a non-US citizen from Hong Kong, to the San Francisco Elections Commission after the city removed citizenship requirements for such positions in 2020.

“Foreign agents have no place overseeing our sacred democratic process,” Pfluger, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, said in an interview. “My legislation aims to ensure that only American citizens have the honor and responsibility of serving as election administrators,” he continued. “No foreign influence should taint the integrity of our voting system.”

This new legislation, along with an amendment by Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) requiring a citizenship question in future censuses, is part of continued Republican countermeasures against potential voting irregularities and attempts to secure a wholly American election process. These actions reflect an ongoing national debate over voting rights and immigration policy.

In early March, a Florida law banning noncitizens from registering voters was struck down by a Federal judge.

Ex Biden Aide Confirms WH Official Bullied, Sexually Harassed Staffers.

A former high-ranking Biden aide confirmed that Anthony Bernal, a top White House official and key member of First Lady Jill Biden’s team, engaged in long-term harassment and bullying of staff members in the workplace.

Bernal, who is openly gay and known as “untouchable” within Biden’s circle, has been accused of extensive inappropriate behavior, including making explicit remarks about other staffers’ personal lives. Sources have described his actions as a tactic to establish dominance and make others uncomfortable.

“It lines up with everything I experienced working there,” a former top Biden aide who wished to remain anonymous told Fox News.

The accusations against Bernal are backed up by almost a dozen current and former employees who also allege he frequently speculated on other staff members’ personal lives and physical attributes, including political aides and Secret Service agents. These insiders have come forward hoping to hold Bernal accountable for his misbehavior.

“It was a lot of inappropriate remarks — talking about other people’s attractiveness and speculating about their sex lives at very weird moments,” a source told the New York Post. “That’s actually sexual harassment.”

“Working for the Bidens is like living in another century,” another source told the Post. “You really cannot speak up without fear of personal or professional retaliation.”

“[Bernal] is by far the worst and most well-known abuser, but the Biden White House is a magnet for ugly and abusive workplace behavior,” the source continued. “It’s totally inexcusable [in] this day [and] age, especially with Biden’s own narrative about standing up to bullies.”

Despite the mounting allegations, the White House remains supportive of Bernal. White House chief of staff, Jeff Zients, dismissed the claims as ‘unfounded attacks’ and stated that the administration maintains ‘full confidence in Anthony’s character.’

Biden himself has also faced sexual assault accusations.

China Fumes Over TikTok Ban Plan as ‘Libertarians’ Take Corporate Cash to Protect It.

China has strongly objected to U.S. legislation that aims to compel the Chinese parent firm of TikTok, ByteDance, to sell the popular video-sharing platform. House representatives have passed a bill that could enforce a nationwide ban on TikTok unless ByteDance severs ties with it.

“In recent years, though the United States has never found any evidence of TikTok posing a threat to U.S. national security, it has never stopped going after TikTok,” claimed Wang Wenbin, a spokesman for China’s foreign ministry. He accused the U.S. of “resorting to hegemonic moves when one could not succeed in fair competition.”

While some lawmakers, such as Senator Rand Paul, are peddling similar Chinese Communist Party (CCP) talking points, the bill has broad, bipartisan support because the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) clearly exercises a strong degree of control over ByteDance.

The regime shut down another of the company’s apps when it did not operate to its liking, with founder Zhang Yiming forced to apologize for propagating content “incommensurate with socialist core values” and promise to “deepen cooperation with [regime] media” and boost distribution of regime content. He later sold his stake in ByteDance to an obscure start-up in suspicious circumstances.

The Cyberspace Administration of China also controls a seat and a veto on ByteDance’s three-man board of directors, represented by CCP executive Wu Shugang.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, has directly debunked claims the TikTok bill could be used against U.S. social media platforms such as Elon Musk’s X.

Dem Resolution Declares Racism ‘Public Health Crisis.’

Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) has introduced a resolution designating racism as a “public health crisis.” The resolution, alleging health disparities and inequities across varying societal sectors, cites “microaggressions” and “police violence,” among other progressive obsessions.

Brown’s resolution notes that “Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders are 2.5-times more likely to die from diabetes than non-Hispanic White women,” and “Black, Hispanic or Latino, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and Native American communities experienced disproportionately high rates of COVID–19 infection” – but does not explain how racism causes these maladies.

It also asserts, without supporting evidence, that “inequities in health outcomes are exacerbated for people of color who are LGBTQIA+,” and blasts the United States as a country with “a longstanding history and legacy of racism, mistreatment, and discrimination that has perpetuated health inequities for members of racial and ethnic minority groups.”

Brown — who recently hired a black man to say the ‘n-word’ for his latest audiobook — also suggests black people are regularly “confronted and threatened by armed citizens while performing everyday tasks, such as jogging in neighborhoods, driving, or playing in a park,” and that these encounters can cause “severe physical or psychological harm” even when they are not “fatal.”

Polls show Donald Trump is currently leading Joe Biden by nine points in Brown’s state.

Here Are the 65 Congressmen Who Voted to Protect the Chinese Communist Party’s Influence in America.

Rep. Mike Gallagher’s (R-WI) legislation, which would force the Chinese-owned technology and entertainment conglomerate ByteDance to divest itself from TikTok or else face a U.S. government ban on the social media app, sailed through the House of Representatives earlier today.

The legislation passed 352 to 65 on a suspension vote (requiring two-thirds of the House).

Georgia Judge DISMISSES Multiple Charges Against Trump, Including Central ‘Find the Votes’ Allegation.

Georgia Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee partially dismissed the charges against Donald Trump brought by embattled Democrat District Attorney Fani Willis, including the central claim he pressured the Secretary of State to “find” votes for him.

McAfee dismissed six of 13 counts against the former president. They “contain all the essential elements of the crimes but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission, i.e., the underlying felony solicited” he wrote in his Wednesday order.

“The lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is, in the undersigned’s opinion, fatal,” McAfee wrote.

“They do not give the Defendants enough information to prepare their defenses intelligently, as the Defendants could have violated the Constitutions and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways,” he explained.

Crucially, McAfee has dismissed charges that Trump “unlawfully solicited, requested and importuned” the Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, to violate his oath of office when he told him “I need 11,000 votes” to change the outcome of the election.

The full context of the call is that Trump was unhappy with the conduct of the election, particularly in Fulton County — where Willis is now DA — and with officials letting fraud go unchecked. He wanted Raffensperger to take steps to uncover at least 11,000 fraudulent votes, believing this would be easy “because we won the state.”

“Why don’t you want to find this, Ryan? What’s wrong with you?” the then-President said to Ryan Germany, Raffensperger’s General Counsel.

Willis also faces an imminent ruling on whether she is even allowed to continue prosecuting the case. She faces allegations she lied about her relationship with married lover Nathan Wade, whom she selected as her lead prosecutor, and has personally profited from the case.
