Speaking at his Mar-a-Lago club on Saturday night, former President Donald J. Trump caused a stir by referring to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff as “a fucking idiot.” Trump recalled an Afghanistan conversation with Milley, America’s highest ranking military official: “Sir, sir. It’s cheaper to leave the equipment [in Afghanistan] than to bring it,” was the advice from Milley. “You think it’s cheaper to leave it there so they can have it than to fill it up with a half a tank…?” Trump questioned. “That’s when I realized he was a fucking idiot.” But is General Milley
Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and her appointees have repeatedly met with and hosted leaders from a leading organization in the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front. The United Front functions as China’s premier influence and propaganda organization, raising flags with the U.S. government’s Economic and Security Review Commission. It seeks to “co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority of its ruling Chinese Communist Party” and coerce American leaders “to take actions or adopt positions supportive of Beijing’s preferred policies.” What’s more, the State Department has described the group as seeking to “directly and malignly influence”
Senate Democrats introduced legislation to designate the Mayor of Washington D.C. as the Commander in Chief of the National Guard – despite reports Mayor Muriel Bowser refused to deploy the troops ahead of January 6th and during violent Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots. The January bill – District of Columbia National Guard Home Rule Act – seeks to “extend to the Mayor of the District of Columbia the same authority over the National Guard of the District of Columbia as the Governors of the several States.” Appearing to be in response to the events on January 6th at the
Washington, DC Mayor and Chinese Communist ally Muriel Bowser is demanding the removal of security boards originally erected to protect businesses against the Black Lives Matter rioters of 2020. In a brazen display of how the left encouraged violent riots, cost businesses billions, and supported murders across the country, Bowser is now demanding businesses expose their shop fronts. Those who don’t, she says, need to be “reminded” by the public. She ended her tweet this afternoon with the hashtag #DCisOpen. But DC wasn’t open during the last year of the Trump administration when Democrats incited violence across the nation, leading
Under Mayor Muriel Bowser’s reign, Washington D.C. has seen homicides hit a 15-year high and shootings spike. Homicides in the national’s capital rose for a third consecutive year in 2020, pushing on 200 residents killed for the first time since the previous decade. The city’s total number of killings in 2020 was 198 – the deadliest year since 2004. What’s more, Bowser’s D.C. counted over 920 people shot, which constitutes a 64 percent increase from three years ago. As the Washington Post notes, the “victims of deadly violence include a beloved school bus driver, a construction worker killed while renovating a
A committee established by District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser identified over 150 structures, monuments, and buildings – including the Washington Monument and a high school named after the inventor of the telephone Alexander Graham Bell – that deserve to be “renamed, removed, or contextualized.” Of the 1,330 named properties in Washington, D.C., 153 were identified as “problematic” – nearly 12 percent. To identify a building, landmark, street name, or other property as warranting offense, members of the District of Columbia Facilities and Commemorative Expressions (DCFACES) committee considered factors such as the honoree’s “involvement in systemic racism” or “support for
Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s administration is partnered with the Chinese Communist Party-funded Confucius Institutes, allowing party propaganda to infiltrate district’s public schools and federal buildings, The National Pulse can reveal. Bowser, who recently made headlines for renaming a street adjacent to the White House “Black Lives Matter Plaza,” has been a partner of Confucius Institutes since at least 2019. An annual report from the Chinese, communist-run Confucius Institute U.S. Center (CIUSC) identified both Bowser’s office and D.C. public schools as partners of the organization: The report boasts of the collaboration with the D.C. Mayor, which included a “cultural” event
