Chinese Propaganda Group Has Spent Years Cozying Up To Black Colleges | The Daily Caller:
“One of the top sources of recruitment has been American students in China,” James Carafano, a vice president of the Heritage Foundation and national security expert, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
He said that the Chinese government uses groups like CUSEF and Confucius Institutes to provide cultural enrichment programming for the purposes of “data mining” and potential recruitment of American students.
“Nothing’s innocuous because essentially everything connects back to the Chinese Communist Party. You can never assume that any contacts are innocent,” Carafano told the DCNF. “The FBI’s been warning about that for years.”

When The Powerful Say Lies Are The Truth, No One Will Stop It But You
When The Powerful Say Lies Are The Truth, No One Will Stop It But You
"Open The New York Times’ politics page Thursday morning and the top headline reads, “Democrats Begin Push For Biggest Expansion In Voting Since 1960s.”
It’s a story about the most important election power-grab in modern legislative history, with a slim, partisan majority of senators seeking to wrest control of elections away from state governments to ensure Democrat control for decades to come.
For starters,
- H.R. 1 will ban voter ID requirements,
- mandate early voting windows,
- allow outside activist groups to deliver votes for counting,
- do away with notarized absentee ballots,
- force states to accept absentees for 10 days after an election is over,
- narrow the Federal Election Commission by one member to allow for partisan control,
- mandate counting illegal aliens in voting districts,
- allow the IRS to investigate non-profits’ political ideas, and
- make it nearly impossible to sue over the new rules.
In short, it’s a story about Democrats aiming to seize massive power over how elections are run.
Of course, you wouldn’t get any of that information from The New York Times headline or copy.
In fact, funny enough, the second story on The New York Times’ politics page Thursday morning was the one headlined, “Republicans Aim To Seize More Power Over How Elections Are Run.”...Read all.

Gigliello said she would like to ask the town’s Social Equity Advisory Commission how this element could be incorporated into the standards, but she said it could be incorporated into the event itself or in the values of the business promoting the event...Read all.

Conservatives need to attack the tech monopolies aggressively - American Thinker
When Michelle Obama tweets out that Twitter and Facebook should deplatform the sitting President of the United States, and they follow that directive within a day or so, we need to realize there is a new power structure in place.
"Conservatives need to acknowledge a paradigm shift has occurred:
Big Tech companies are not “free market capitalists,” but are, in fact, agents of American socialism.
Keep in mind that Hitler rose to power with the support of German industrialists.
He never needed to have his government pass a decree ordering the Final Solution; his followers knew what was expected....
...According to Wikipedia, Google has purchased 241 companies since its inception, most recently Fitbit. Twitter has purchased 65 companies and Facebook 89.
Engines of innovation?
Hardly.
They need these purchases to close off potential competitors before they become a threat and to have new processes to exploit.
As far as pinnacles of capitalistic success, imagine this: American socialism is the castle, and Big Tech and the big banks are the moats defending that castle.
The peasants need to be kept out.
Big Tech oligarchs exist because the Government protects them and they, in turn, protect the Government...Read all.
