Ilhan Omar Committed Immigration Frauds & Bigamy

(David Steinberg’s article from the ALPHA NEWS on 18 July 2019.)

David Steinberg: TYING UP LOOSE THREADS IN THE CURIOUS CASE: The facts describe perhaps the most extensive spree of illegal misconduct committed by a House member in American history.

On October 22, 2008, the U.S. State Department stopped accepting applications for the Priority 3/Refugee Family Reunification program — the process by which refugees can apply for asylum if one family member is already a legal U.S. resident. State halted the program because DNA testing — primarily of Somalis — had concluded that perhaps 87 percent of applicants were fraudulently claiming family relationships.

Despite continuing war, Somalia of 2008 was not comparable to the open hell of the early 1990s, when an eight-year-old Ilhan and her family fled to Kenya’s Dadaab refugee camps. She lived there from 1991 until 1995, aged eight to 12. Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services then helped Ilhan, her sister Sahra, and their father Nur Said receive asylum in the United States along with thousands of other Somalis.

Ilhan Omar Calling For Violence On Rand Paul

(Mark Jenning's article from the CNS NEWS on 30 Jul 2019.)

On July 29, Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) retweeted a tweet from actor/activist Tom Arnold that mocked an assault on Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who suffered five broken ribs in the attack. 

The tweet reads, “Imagine being Rand Paul’s next door neighbor and having to deal with @RandPaul lying cowardly circular whiney bullcrap about lawn clippings. No wonder he ripped his toupee off."

Rand Paul’s neighbor is Rene Boucher. He attacked Paul on Nov. 3, 2017 when Paul was outside mowing his lawn.  Paul sustained five fractured ribs and got pneumonia as a result of the attack. Boucher eventually pleaded guilty to assaulting a member of Congress.

Rand Paul: Ilhan Omar Is Horribly Ungrateful

(Alana Angelo's article from the BREITBART NEWS on 26 Jul 2019.)

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) told Breitbart News on Wednesday that maybe if Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) visited Somalia, “she might come back and appreciate America more.” The senator was responding to a question on why he defended President Donald Trump over his recent tweets that had  sparked outrage among many on the left.

“I’ve met people who have come here from behind the Iron Curtain,”Paul said. “They got away from communism, they’re some of the best Americans we have, because they really appreciate how great our country is, and then I hear Representative Omar say America is a terrible place.”

“Well, she came here and we fed her, we clothed her, she got welfare, she got [schooling], she got healthcare, and then, lo and behold, she has the honor of actually winning a seat in Congress, and she says we’re a terrible country? I think that’s about as ungrateful as you can get,” continued the senator.

“And so — I’m willing to contribute to buy her a ticket to go visit Somalia,” he continued, “and I think she can look and maybe learn a little bit about the disaster that is Somalia — that has no capitalism, has no God-given rights guaranteed in a constitution, and has about seven different tribes that have been fighting each other for the last 40 years.”

Whatfinger News Replacing The Drudge Report?

 (JD Heyes’s article from The NEWS TARGET on 23 July  2019.)

Is Whatfinger News replacing the Drudge Report? News aggregate site is better maintained, faster, and contains more independent news links: More and more, consumers of independent media are rejecting the iconic Drudge Report, which has stood for more than two decades as the one place on the Internet where Right-leaning Americans could go to become better informed, in favor of a start-up aggregation site that has more depth, more breadth, and features a wider selection of quality conservative content.

Seemingly overnight, Whatfinger news (Whatfinger.com) has become a new conservative destination sensation for Trump-supporting Americans who have noticed that, over the past several months, Drudge has begun to feature more news from Leftist “establishment” media that is only ever critical of the president.

This was made apparent in recent weeks when conservative political cartoonist Ben Garrison, who is featured regularly at Whatfinger, tweeted about Drudge’s increasing “Left-wing” bent. As NewsTarget noted in May: By any measure, Whatfinger News is now a news aggregate player.

Backlash Growing Against Dictator Xi In China

(Richard McGregor’s article from The CNN on 17 July 2019.)

The backlash is growing against Xi Jinping in China and around the world: (CNN)The backlash abroad against President Xi Jinping's China, at least in developed nations, has spread rapidly in the last year.

Some countries, like Australia and Canada, feel patronized and bullied. Neighbors worry they are being marginalized. Advanced industrial nations, especially Germany and South Korea, see China coming at them like an unstoppable, oncoming train.

The US, for decades the world's lone superpower, is confronted by a once-in-a-lifetime challenge from Beijing. All of these phenomena, previously bubbling under the surface, have burst into clear view during Xi's time in office. Beijing's opaque internal political system means it is hard to make judgments about domestic Chinese politics, but there can be little doubt that a backlash is underway at home, too.

Trump Campaign Video Featuring “The Squad”

(Simon Dumenco’s article from the ADAGE on 26 Jul 2019.)

So this just happened: The President of the United States has released a video (above) slamming “The Squad”—as four freshmen congresswomen of color have been nicknamed by the media—on his official YouTube channel.

In it, Trump speaks in front of a crowd of his supporters and systematically takes down Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, while interspersing soundbites from them to support his attacks on their positions.

With its light-rock instrumental soundtrack and animations—e.g., a shot of Ocasio-Cortez is freeze-framed mid-grimace and hypnosis-style spinning wheels are superimposed over her eyes to suggest craziness—the video was obviously designed with social-media sharing in mind.

Awaiting The Queen: Michelle Obama For President?

 (Karen Cacy’s article from The COMMUNITY DIGITAL NEWS on 25 February 2019.)

COLORADO SPRINGS: The circus is in town. No, not that one. The Democrat presidential candidates. Free stuff! Another bite of the socialist apple, this time with “the right” people in charge. Phasing out airplanes and cars. Moreover, cows.

For anyone not in school or university in the past twenty years, i.e., those not socialist-indoctrinated, the current pack of incompetent, judgmental, arrogant candidates don’t seem convincingly prepared for Central Casting’s democrat take-down of the White House, come 2020.

Looking at the present field, barring stuffed ballot boxes and many more dead people voting, there ain’t no way. Perhaps, however, through it all, standing behind the curtain, might be the penultimate presidential democrat for the times: the vegetable gardener herself, Michelle Obama.

Mueller's Witch Hunters or '14 Angry Democrats'?

(Dareh Gregoroan's article from the NBC NEWS on 24 March 2019.)

They know when to hold 'em — and when to fold 'em: President Donald Trump has derided the team Robert Mueller had assembled to probe Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election as "angry Democrats" operating a corrupt "witch hunt," but the group has a stellar track record of rooting out corruption — and of walking away when they don't have enough to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

"It's probably one of the most impressive groups ever assembled for a special counsel investigation," Jim Walden, a former federal prosecutor in Brooklyn, told NBC News. "You've got a collective of prosecutors who've covered some of the most high-profile and complex investigations in the last 20 years."

Since Mueller's appointment as special counsel in May 2017, at least 18 prosecutors and lawyers have worked on the inquiry, which is tasked with investigating "any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump" and any matters that "may arise directly from the investigation."

Joseph Mifsud: Missing Key To The Mueller Witch Hunt

(Joel Pollak’s article from The BREITBART NEWS on 24 July  2019.)

Mysterious Professor Mifsud with shady history is missing.

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee and the House Intelligence Committee repeatedly asked Special Counsel Robert Mueller why he never indicted Joseph Mifsud, who was key to the Russia collusion narrative.

They appear to believe that Mifsud was possibly used by opponents of then-candidate Donald Trump to implicate his campaign in wrongdoing, and provide the basis for later surveillance and investigation (as well as, though they did not succeed, prosecution and impeachment).

Mifsud was key to the prosecution of junior Trump campaign foreign policy aide George Papadopoulos, who admitted that he lied to the FBI about meeting Mifsud before joining the campaign. (They had met afterwards.)

Ben Carson: Trump “Is Not Racist At All.”

 (Marisa Schultz’s article from The NEW YORK POST on 21 July  2019.)

WASHINGTON – Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson ​on ​Sunday defended President Trump against accusations of racism. “He is not racist at all,” Carson told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“He lived in New York. Jesse Jackson gave him an award for the incredible things that he had done in the African​-American community,” Carson added. “I have never seen anything that even resembles racism.”

It’s unclear what award Carson is referring to, but Trump did donate office space to Jackson’s Rainbow/Push Coalition at his 40 Wall Street building that garnered praise from the civil rights leader at the time.

China's Triad Thugs Attack Hong Kong Protesters

(Jerome Taylor's article from the AFP on 22 Jul 2019.)

Triad thugs paid by China to attack
protesters in Hong Kong.

Anger soared in Hong Kong on Monday over a vicious assault on pro-democracy protesters by suspected triad gangsters that left dozens wounded, a dramatic escalation of the political turmoil plaguing the Chinese city.

The financial hub's roiling unrest took a dark turn late Sunday when gangs of men -- most wearing white T-shirts and carrying bats, sticks and metal poles -- set upon anti-government demonstrators as they returned from another huge march earlier that day.

Footage broadcast live on Facebook showed people screaming as the men beat multiple protesters and journalists in Yuen Long station and inside subway trains, leaving pools of blood on the floor. Hospital authorities said 45 people were wounded in the attack, with one man in critical condition and five others with serious injuries.

Critics rounded on the city's embattled police force, accusing officers of taking more than an hour to reach the site and failing to arrest the armed assailants who stayed in the streets around the station into Monday morning. Some men in white shirts were later filmed leaving the scene in cars with Chinese mainland number plates.

Is Ilhan Omar A ‘Failed American Experiment?’

 (Meira Svirsky’s article from The CLARION PROJECT on 22 July 2019.)

According to Omar, "America Is Evil!" Send Her Back!

Is Ilhan Omar a “failed American experiment?” Clarion’s National Correspondent Shireen Qudosi thinks so. Those were the words Quodsi used on a recent appearance alongside Candice Owens on The Ingraham Angle,  Fox’s popular news magazine with Laura Ingraham.

Amidst the media furor over President Trump’s suggestion that Omar, due to her anti-Americanism, should go back to her home country of Somalia, Qudosi’s comments were flagged by a number of outlets. Qudosi, who herself is a Muslim, also noted that, based on Omar’s own rhetoric against America, “send her back” was not a racist statement but rather a “common sense message.”

Watch what Qudosi had to say and why, Last night on @IngrahamAngle, I shared how:

1. Identity politics is a gateway drug to radicalization.

2. Ilhan Omar is a failed American experiment.

3. Send-Her-Back is common sense message.  

Jason Campbell tweeted: Laura Ingraham guest says @IlhanMN "is a failed American experiment...she's not American."

Bernie The Hypocrite: $12/Hr For Campaign Workers

(Sean Sullivan’s article from The WASHINGTON POST on 18 July  2019.)

Labor fight roils Bernie Sanders campaign, as his workers demand the $15 hourly pay the candidate has proposed for employees nationwide as Democrats unveil bill to raise minimum wage to $15.

Unionized campaign organizers working for Sen. Bernie Sanders’s presidential effort are battling with its management, arguing that the compensation and treatment they are receiving does not meet the standards Sanders espouses in his rhetoric, according to internal communications.

Campaign field hires have demanded an annual salary they say would be equivalent to a $15-an-hour wage, which Sanders for years has said should be the federal minimum. The organizers and other employees supporting them have invoked the senator’s words and principles in making their case to campaign manager Faiz Shakir, the documents reviewed by The Washington Post show.

USS Boxer Downed Iranian Drone In Hormuz

(Staff article from the WALL STREET JOURNAL on 18 Jul 2019.)

ABOARD THE USS BOXER—President Trump said the U.S. Navy downed an Iranian drone that was flying too close to a U.S. warship in the Strait of Hormuz, hours after Iranian forces said they had seized a foreign tanker, the latest in a series of incidents that have ratcheted up tensions in a vital oil shipping route.

Mr. Trump said the USS Boxer, an amphibious assault ship, took defensive action against the drone, which he said was “threatening the safety of the ship and the ship’s crew” in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow channel leading into the Persian Gulf through which a third of the world’s seaborne oil is transported.

The drone was “immediately destroyed,” Mr. Trump said. The president called the approach by the drone the latest “of many provocative and hostile actions by Iran against vessels operating in international waters.”

Somalia Beautiful: Al-Shabab Killed Somali-Canadian

(Paul Watson’s article from the SUMMIT NEWS on 18 Jul 2019.)

The Owner of Somali TV the Integration TV?

A journalist traveled to Ilhan Omar’s homeland of Somalia to challenge stereotypes and prove the country was “beautiful,” only to end up being killed by terrorists. Before President Trump’s tweetstorm in which he encouraged Omar to go back and fix her own country, Somali-Canadian journalist Hodan Nalayeh was trying to do precisely that.

Nalayeh returned to the country of her birth to tell “uplifting” stories about Somalia, according to the Washington Post. The journalist became well known for her relentlessly positive tweets about Somalia. Just one week ago, she lauded the “beauty” of the place.

One respondent praised her for “countering the doom narrative propagated by many about Somalia”. Your are doing amazing work in countering the doom narrative propagated by many about Somalia,  one tweet at a time.

Ilhan Omar: Congresswoman Representing Somalia

(George Bardmesser’s article from The AMERICAN GREATNESS on 16 July 2019.)

Send Her Back To Muslim-Shithole Somalia!

I am an immigrant. I want Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) to go back to the shithole country she came from. And I want her to stay there.

I spent some time on the Internet looking for even one positive thing that Omar has said about America—but my search was in vain. Omar hates and despises her adoptive country unequivocally and unconditionally. She hates everything about America today, and she hates everything about the America of yesterday.

Omar hates white people. Omar hates Jews—and she is not shy about letting everyone know it (“It’s all about the Benjamins baby”). Omar hates our ally Israel (“Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel”). Ilhan Omar is a one-woman hate factory.

Maybe I missed a public statement where Omar praised America. But after looking through countless webpages and many gigabytes, I think I am on solid ground when I say: Ilhan Omar hates everything and everyone around her, except possibly her brother, whom she married, and perhaps the 9/11 terrorists who killed 3,000 people (“some people did something”—no biggie).

Racist Statements By The Members Of The SQUAD

 (Joel Pollak’s article from The BREITBART NEWS on 16 July  2019.)

The Evil Alliance of Socialists and Islamists, the SQUAD.

President Donald Trump tweeted Tuesday that “I don’t have a Racist bone in my body!” and challenged his critics to “Get a list of the HORRIBLE things” that the four Democratic congresswomen of the so-called “Squad” have said.

It is worth noting that all four — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) are members of a group called the “Justice Democrats.” The group is specifically devoted to backing primary candidates against Democratic incumbents seen as being too moderate and too white.

Last November, the Justice Democrats launched a campaign called “#OurTime,” aimed at recruiting candidates to challenge “Democratic incumbents who are demographically and ideologically out-of-touch with their districts.”

I Abandon the Chair: Pelosi Violated House Rules

(Katherine Tully's article from the ROLL CALL on 16 Jul 2019.)

Never happened before in the US history!

‘I abandon the chair’: House floor in chaos over Pelosi speech on Trump tweets. House condemns Trump ‘racist’ remarks, but some Dems want to go further‘His plan to pit us against one another:’ Progressive ‘squad’ responds to Trump attacks.

Amid debate over whether to condemn tweets by President Donald Trump as racist on Tuesday, the House descended into parliamentary chaos, with Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II, who was presiding, abruptly dropping the gavel and saying, “I abandon the chair.”

It was an extraordinary moment on an extraordinary day, as the House considered a resolution condemning Trump’s tweets from the weekend that told four freshman Democrats from the House to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”

Ilhan Omar's Anti-US Pro-Terrorist SQUAD

 (Joshua Caplan’s article from The BREITBART NEWS on 16 July  2019.)

Evil Alliance of Leftists & Islamists, The Squad.

Donald Trump - Democrats Too ‘Petrified’ to Confront ‘Anti-USA, Pro-Terrorist’ Squad: President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the far-left Democrat “Squad” has uttered some of the most “vile, hateful, and disgusting things” ever said by a lawmaker on Capitol Hill and party leadership is unwilling to take them one due to fear of the “radical left.”

“The Democrat Congresswomen have been spewing some of the most vile, hateful, and disgusting things ever said by a politician in the House or Senate, & yet they get a free pass and a big embrace from the Democrat Party,” the president wrote on Twitter. “Horrible anti-Israel, anti-USA, pro-terrorist & public shouting of the F…word, among many other terrible things, and the petrified Dems run for the hills,” he added.

President Trump concluded his pair of tweets by accusing Democrat leadership of being too afraid to reign in the progressive wing of the party. “Why isn’t the House voting to rebuke the filthy and hate laced things they have said? Because they are the Radical Left, and the Democrats are afraid to take them on. Sad!” he wrote.

Trump Defended Pelosi As AOC Called Her A Racist

(Mike Brest article from the WASHINGTON EXAMINER on 10 Jul 2019.)

AOC - Pelosi is 'outright disrespectful' to new congresswomen of color: Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez described House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's verbal attacks against her and other freshman liberal members of the party "outright disrespectful."

Pelosi has spent much of the week feuding with Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley, the four female members of Congress who have received the most media attention since being elected to their first terms last fall.

“When these comments first started, I kind of thought that she was keeping the progressive flank at more of an arm’s distance in order to protect more moderate members, which I understood,” Ocasio-Cortez told the Washington Post on Wednesday. “But the persistent singling out ... it got to a point where it was just outright disrespectful ... the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color.”

HR-1044: Green Cards For Kamala Harris Indians

(John Binder article from the BREITBART NEWS on 13 Jul 2019.)

A million Indian IT workers will get US green cards.

Amnesty architect declares victory as GOP/Dems Pass Green Card Giveaway Bill for Indian nationals: The architect of the infamous “Gang of Eight” amnesty plan in 2013 is declaring victory as 140 House Republicans helped House Democrats pass an overhaul that allows India to monopolize the United States’ green card system for at least a decade.

Immigration attorney Leon Fresco is praising House Republicans and House Democrats for advancing HR. 1044, Indian-American Kamala Harris-sponsored legislation that allows thousands and thousands of Indian nationals who have taken American jobs through programs like the H-1B visa at the behest of tech conglomerates and Indian outsourcing firms to more quickly obtain green cards to eventually get American citizenship.

The legislation allows Indian nationals to effectively monopolize the U.S. green card system for at least the next ten years, providing a constant stream of foreign workers to the outsourcing lobby and tech giants like Amazon, Facebook, and Google that American professionals will be forced to compete against for white-collar U.S. jobs.

Explosion Causes Blackout In Manhattan New York

(Staff article from the REUTERS on 14 Jul 2019.)

NEW YORK, July 13 (Reuters) - A blackout hit more than 40,000 people in New York City's Manhattan borough on Saturday evening, plunging subway stations and shops into darkness and sending thousands of people into the streets after an apparent transformer explosion on the Upper West Side, officials said.

A Reuters witness in the area reported hearing an explosion at about 7 p.m. (2300 GMT), and a New York City Fire Department spokesman said firefighters were on the scene of a transformer fire.

"Members are responding to reports of numerous stuck elevators that are occupied, but there are currently no patients reported," the department said on Twitter. It said the outage extended from Fifth Avenue west to the Hudson River, and from the west 40s north to 72nd Street. The Con Edison utility said it was working to restore power to 42,000 customers and would provide updates as it got them.

British Warship Repulsed Iranian Attack On Oil Tanker

(Lucas Tomlinson article from the FOX NEWS on 11 Jul 2019.)

Iranian Revolutionary Guard boats tried to seize British oil tanker in Strait of Hormuz, senior US defense official says: Five Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps gunboats tried to seize a British oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz Wednesday but backed off after a British warship approached, a senior U.S. defense official told Fox News.

The British warship (Frigate HMS Montrose) was said to have been less than 5 miles behind the tanker but soon intercepted the Iranian boats and threatened to open fire. A manned U.S. reconnaissance aircraft was above as well, the official said, adding that Iranian forces left without opening fire.

Navy Captain Bill Urban, spokesman for the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), said the military was aware of the reported actions. He added: “Threats to international freedom of navigation require an international solution. The world economy depends on the free flow of commerce, and it is incumbent on all nations to protect and preserve this lynchpin of global prosperity.”

Chinese Students Forced By Beijing To Steal US IP

(Nicole Hao’s article from The EPOCH TIMES on 19 June  2019.)

U.S. Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) revealed in recent comments the extent to which the Chinese regime pressures Chinese nationals studying and working in the United States to steal intellectual property on its behalf.

During a speech on homeland security and counterterrorism given at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington D.C. on June 17, Warner revealed that Chinese spies have threatened the families of Chinese international students at U.S. schools to bring back intellectual property.

Otherwise, “if your son or daughter does not come back with intellectual property, you, family, will be put in jeopardy,” he said. Warner is vice chairman of U.S. Senate select committee on intelligence. Warner’s speech focused on China’s threats in the realm of 5G, the next generation of mobile telecommunications, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Psychiatric Diagnoses Are “Scientifically Meaningless”

 (John Anderer’s article from The STUDY FINDS on 09 July  2019.)

LIVERPOOL, England — Psychiatric Diagnoses Are ‘Scientifically Meaningless’ In Treating Mental Health: No two people are exactly alike. Therefore, attempting to classify each unique individual’s mental health issues into neat categories just doesn’t work. That’s the claim coming out of the United Kingdom that is sure to ruffle some psychologists’ feathers.

More people are being diagnosed with mental illnesses than ever before. Multiple factors can be attributed to this rise; many people blame the popularity of social media and increased screen time, but it is also worth considering that in today’s day and age more people may be willing to admit they are having mental health issues in the first place. Whatever the reason, it is generally believed that a psychiatric diagnosis is the first step to recovery.

That’s why a new study conducted at the University of Liverpool has raised eyebrows by concluding that psychiatric diagnoses are “scientifically meaningless,” and worthless as tools to accurately identify and address mental distress at an individual level.

WW III? Nuclear-Armed Iran Draws Warnings

(Staff article from the REUTERS on 07 July 2019.)

DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran said on Sunday it will shortly boost its uranium enrichment above a cap set by a landmark 2015 nuclear deal, prompting a warning ‘to be careful’ from U.S. President Donald Trump, who has pressured Tehran to renegotiate the pact.

In a sign of heightening tensions, France, Germany and Britain - all parties to the deal - expressed concerns over the step taken by Tehran, its latest effort to force the West to lift sanctions ravaging its limping economy.

In a live news conference, senior Iranian officials threatened further violations, saying Tehran would keep reducing its commitments every 60 days unless European parties to the agreement protected it from sanctions imposed by Trump.

Russian Internet-Cutter Submarine Caught Fire

(Kristen Houser article from the FUTURISM on 03 July 2019.)

On Monday, a Russian submarine caught fire during a mission, killing 14 sailors on board. But the public didn’t find out about the incident until the next day, when Russia finally released a statement about the accident — though two days after the event, the nation still wouldn’t say exactly what kind of sub caught fire or whether it was nuclear-powered.

A possible reason for Russia’s caginess? Multiple sources are now claiming the sub was an AS-12 “Losharik,” a nuclear-powered submarine some speculate was designed to cut the undersea cables that deliver internet to the world.

Russian media outlets RBC and Novaya Gazeta have both cited anonymous sources who claim the submarine was a Losharik, and while the sub has been in operation since 2003, Russia has never come out and declared its official purpose.

Salute To America: Massive Crowd Cheering Trump

(Kristina Wong article from the BREITBART NEWS on 04 July 2019.)

President Donald Trump noted the “great crowd” that attended the Salute to America celebration honoring the United States military on the Fourth of July. “A great crowd of tremendous Patriots this evening, all the way back to the Washington Monument,” he tweeted.

Attendees with tickets were admitted into the area around the Lincoln Memorial and half-way down the reflecting pool around 3 p.m. ET. Heavy rain commenced around 3:30 p.m. ET. The rain lasted for approximately two hours before abating before the celebration began at 6:30 p.m. ET. Despite the rain — the entire area around the reflecting pool was packed by the time the celebration started.

Donald J. Trump Tweeted:  A great crowd of tremendous Patriots this evening, all the way back to the Washington Monument!  The massive crowd size was also noted by others on social media. Boris Epshteyn Tweeted: Huge crowd at Lincoln Memorial for Salute to America celebration organized by DonaldTrump!

China Warned Australia: Do Not Strengthen Military

(Yan Yunming article from the CPC-Mouthpiece GLOBAL TIMES on 03 July 2019.)

Hostility toward China affects Australia’s development: Australia's ABC network reported Tuesday that the country's leading intelligence analyst Hugh White warned Australia to consider "whether or not to acquire nuclear weapons as part of a strategy to counter the rise of China."

Although "swiftly shut down" by Australia's Defense Minister Linda Reynolds, White's advice underscores how the "China threat theory" and anti-China sentiment have infiltrated Australian society.

This is not the first time that Canberra has picked on Beijing. It seems that certain people and institutions in Australia have been influenced by some sort of "China phobia," feeling anxious about almost everything involving China. Now, even nuclear weapons are taken into consideration to deal with China.
