Coalition of Immigrant-Owned Grocery Stores Will Sue Communist Terrorist Zohran Mamdani for Using State Money to Subsidize Their Competitors
—Disinformation Expert Ace
They will drive private enterprise stores out of business. Which is the whole point. Socialism and communism destroy functioning systems so that they can present themselves as the solution to all of the problems they themselves have caused.
An immigrant-led business group is gearing up to sue New York City over Mayor Zohran Mamdani's controversial plan to open five taxpayer-funded supermarkets -- claiming the $70 million project will create unfair competition for nearby stores, The Post has learned.As the far-left mayor announced new details of his plan this week -- including a 30% discount on basic items like produce, meat, milk, cheese and bread -- the Multicultural Business Coalition's board voted to file a lawsuit in the coming weeks to block the pricey initiative, the group's chairman Frank Garcia told The Post.
"The mayor doesn't seem to want to sit down with us," Garcia said, adding that Mamdani "won't be able to bully these lawyers we are going to bring in."
The mayor's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.MBC -- formed earlier this year to create a unified front against Mamdani's grocery policy -- includes 50 chambers of commerce representing Asian, African, Caribbean, Hispanic, Middle Eastern and Jewish-owned businesses in New York.
The nonprofit MBC plans to raise $1 million to fight some of the mayor's initiatives, Garcia said, adding that the suit "should be a non-partisan initiative." The group plans to send a letter in the coming days notifying Mamdani's office of its plans to take legal action.The funds will go toward the lawsuit and efforts to raise awareness about the plight of its mom-and-pop shop members, many of whom struggle to secure capital, fend off shoplifters and keep up with rising costs including rent and taxes.
Meanwhile, longtime NYC residents are complaining that the communist terrorist has put them on a list of people whose properties will be taxed at sky-high rates -- unless they can prove to the city's socialist satisfaction that they live in their homes.
New Yorkers were seething Tuesday after Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration alerted them they'd be on the hook for the state's new pied-a-terre tax -- which was explicitly sold as a levy targeting wealthy owners of luxury second homes.
Longtime residents -- some who have called the Big Apple home for decades and own a single abode in the city -- told The Post they were shocked to get hit with five-figure tax bills they believe were mistakenly mailed out, and are now being forced to navigate a bureaucratic labyrinth to prove it.
"Whoever's behind this, who I can only assume is the mayor, didn't take the 30 seconds to research," said Karen Young, president and founder of New York and Paris-based beauty marketing company The Young Group, who has lived in New York since 1972.
Why would you assume this gayboy Destroyer of Civilization wasn't behind it?
You voted for him, didn't you, Dummy?
She was stunned when she received a letter from the city Department of Finance asking for $43,000 in pied-a-terre tax on her West 95th Street brownstone, which she's lived in with her husband for 30 years."Is this a witch hunt?" she asked, exasperated.
Mamdani not only gloats about 'taxing the rich,' he lies as well
"I just sort of line up all of these things and think 'why are you picking on us?'" Young said.
"As a faithful New Yorker since 1972, I find it not only insulting but painful," she fumed, "Is anybody paying any attention, or any thinking, or two minutes of research. Just look me up!"
Young said she went to the DOF's website to attempt to prove her permanent residency -- but quickly hit a brick wall.
"It's a cumbersome process to prove that I'm a primary resident, which just seems absurd. My jury summons come here, I pay my taxes from here, my utilities," she said.Despite the department telling her the process to appeal or challenge the bill was as easy as uploading a driver's license, Young said she was forced to pay her estate lawyer to get the proper documentation after spending three fruitless hours on the website trying to do it herself.
"Apparently they haven't checked their own website. And I'm tech-savvy!" she insisted.
Yes, the communists say that you can avoid having your property confiscated through ruinous taxation if you jump through their bureaucratic hurdles -- but they're the ones who decide how onerous those hurdles will be, and they profit from citizens failing to run their commie gauntlet.
So, enjoy.
There must be NO BAILOUTS for New York City or Seattle or Boston or any of the other communist cities after they destroy themselves. The stupid and corrupt will have no other teacher than their self-inflicted misery. They must be made to learn.
Iran Threatens Lives of First Lady and Barron Trump; Trump Says He'll Kick the Sh** Out of Them
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Iran is calling upon its foreign agents to kill Trump's wife and youngest son.
First lady Melania Trump and son Barron are the latest targets of Iran's sick anti-US propaganda.A new video out of Iran is encouraging supporters of the Islamic regime to assassinate President Trump's wife.
Entitled "How to Kill Melania Trump," the video shows images of the first lady in the motorcade and in some locations around New York City, even naming some of the designer stores that she shops.
The shopping excursions could be "suitable for operations by global freedom fighters," the video noted. It also suggested using a nerve agent to poison any clothes the first lady might purchase.
...
At the end of the video, Barron Trump, 20, is also threatened.
"This is just the beginning. Barron Trump, wait for us."
...
The president's family has been repeatedly targeted since the war with Iran began.Last week, billboards appeared around Tehran demanding the death of President Trump and his relatives, including Melania and all his children: Don Jr, Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany and Barron.
"Blood for blood," it read.
...
[President Trump] told The Post that he "left instructions" should Iran succeed in their plots to assassinate him -- and there'll be hell to pay.
"I've been on their list for a long time. That's what we're dealing with," he said. "... The only thing is, I've left instructions -- if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they've never seen before."
Iran just launched five missiles at US bases. The missiles were all intercepted, but Trump vows vengeance.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday warned that the U.S. is going to "beat the f*cking sh*t" out of Iran following its attack on U.S. forces in Jordan.U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed on Tuesday that Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces attempted to conduct a "surprise attack on U.S. forces based in the Middle East."
"All Iranian missiles were successfully intercepted. U.S. forces remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness," CENTCOM said.
In response to that, President Donald Trump told Fox News, "We're going to beat the f*cking sh*t out of them."
Trump added that Iran is "going to get a beating."
Trump explained why he hasn't yet bombed Iran's bridges and power plants. It's simple: He's thinking about the day after the collapse of the regime. The freed people of Iran will desperately need to start making money, and that will be difficult with all of the bridges and power plants destroyed. Trump explains that bridges can take up to ten years to build and power plants are the most expensive piece of infrastructure to rebuild.
I watched a video last week explaining that's why Trump has not bombed Kharg Island down to ground, too. It turns out that despite Iran's long coast on the Strait, they have only one deep water port, and that's Kharg Island. The rest of the coastal waters are shallow and piled with silt which prevents ocean-going tankers from pulling up to take on oil.
This is also why you only hear of plans to use Marines to seize Kharg Island, as opposed to dropping massive ordnance penetrators on it and just destroying the port entirely.
So again, he's contemplating the post-war economy of Iran and deciding not to bomb key infrastructure that the Iranians will desperately need.
That all makes sense. Here's what doesn't: Repeatedly threatening to bomb things you've already decided not to bomb.

MS NOW "National Security Reporter" Took a Luxury All-Expenses Paid Junket Paid for by Communist China's Intelligence Services, Then Wrote Articles Trashing Trump for Criticzing China
—Disinformation Expert Ace
I wrote about Natalie Winters' expose of "journalists" receiving valuable all-expenses paid travel to China and then immediately acting as China's propaganda agents yesterday.
Just the News writes about one of these agents of Red China, a former Reuters fake reporter now serving as MS NOW's fake national security reporter.
An MS Now reporter who criticized President Trump's speech about Chinese influence previously traveled to the country with the help of a Chinese Communist Party-linked organization and failed to tell readers he was the guest of a CCP-linked outfit.David Rohde, MS NOW's senior national security reporter, who traveled to China when he was with Reuters, was listed as one of many mainstream journalists who traveled to China as part of Chinese influence operations, as revealed by journalist Natalie Winters, who co-hosts the War Room podcast and video stream with Steve Bannon.
Rohde himself announced he was taking the trip back in 2011 in a column titled, "Will 'Made in America' sell in China?" In the column, which no longer bears his name but did in a previous archived version visited by Just the News on Tuesday, Rohde says that he and other journalists "are visiting China this week on a trip organized by the China-United States Exchange Foundation, a non-profit group run by businessmen with close ties to the Chinese government."
Paid for a viewpoint?
Since that visit, Rohde has written numerous columns favorable to China, including one shortly after Trump's speech claiming the president was trying to "undermine trust in the midterm elections by claiming that China had a role in his losing the presidency in 2020."
During Trump's speech earlier this month, the president alleged that China attempted to allegedly influence American public opinion by offering money to journalists to write negative stories about him.
"The Chinese government sought to identify US journalists who had reported negatively on the US president and pay them large sums of money to write more negative articles about him," Trump said during his speech.
While Just the News could not find evidence of such a clear monetary exchange, journalists like Rohde, who were hosted in China, did have their trip organized and paid for by the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF), whose founder, Tung Chee-hwa, is a Hong Kong businessman who served as vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) from 2005 to 2023.
...
Most news organizations focused on reporters' ethics eschew hiding the fact that the reporter's trip was paid for by the subject he or she is covering. For example, the Society of Professional Journalists' Code of Conduct explicitly states that journalists should "Refuse gifts, favors, fees, free travel and special treatment, and avoid political and other outside activities that may compromise integrity or impartiality, or may damage credibility."
Another commentator on journalistic ethics, Zan Romanoff, put it more bluntly: "In theory, journalistic ethics are simple: writers shouldn't pay for access to subjects or sources, or be paid by those subjects and sources to write about them; outlays should be provided by the publication, and limited to the bare-bone requirements of reporting, such as food."
CUSEF is registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), a law designed to make foreign influence transparent. The CPPCC is part of China's "United Front" work, a Soviet-era strategy used to influence Chinese communities overseas, foreign governments, and others to support the policies preferred by Beijing.Part of that effort includes bringing Western journalists to China. Rohde in particular has written positively about China -- and negatively about Trump -- since his trip in 2011. In his 2011 column for Reuters, Rohde derided America while praising China.
Media Can't Stop Boo-Hoo Whinin' and Cryin' That Trump Is Deporting The Democrats' Best Voters
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Axios: Trump has ramped up self-deportation.
President Trump's controversial "self-deportation" program, which pays unauthorized immigrants to leave the U.S., is on pace to account for more than 200,000 departures, according to internal data shared with Axios.
How is it "controversial" to pay illegal aliens to voluntarily leave the country? It's only controversial if you are devoted to the idea that all foreigners not only have a right to be present in America, but must be encouraged to exercise this non-existent right.
For the voting.
Why it matters: Launched last year alongside a multimillion-dollar ad campaign, the initiative is virtually the only carrot in an aggressive immigration crackdown that has been long on sticks.Through July 16, the nearly $600 million program -- dubbed Project Homecoming by the Department of Homeland Security -- has helped about 132,000 people exit the U.S.
Roughly 70,000 more have signed up and are on track to leave, according to the data.
About half of the self-deportations have involved immigrants held in detention, under an effort that accelerated the departures and began when a DOGE staffer brought Project Homecoming into ICE facilities.
The big picture: The self-deportation program is a key part of the administration's push to remove 1 million unauthorized immigrants from the U.S. each year.
The idea was that unauthorized immigrants would be so fearful of being arrested and detained by ICE or Customs and Border Protection that they'd voluntarily leave the U.S., with the promise of free travel and a stipend of $1,000, paid once they had left.
The stipend has increased to $2,600 and was briefly $3,000 last Christmas.
Border czar Tom Homan said in May that encouraging self-deportations was "part of the plan from the very beginning."
...Zoom in: Project Homecoming started slowly, attracting about 24,000 immigrants in its first six months as staffers arranged deportees' travel documents and flights out of the U.S.
The White House then pressured DHS officials to move faster.
"The push was daily calls from the White House and weekly principal level calls [with Deputy White House Chief of Staff] Stephen Miller directly," one source said.
"They wanted like thousands pushed through on a daily basis, and we were putting through like dozens."
...
Case managers for the self-deportation program are now in 40 ICE detention sites, and about half of its 200,000-plus cases have involved immigrants in detention.
People in detention opting to leave the U.S. through the initiative now spend an average of 17 days in detention detained compared the typical 50 days, according to ICE data. That's begun to free up bed space in some detention centers.
..."For the first time, someone walks in and goes, 'Hey, who here just wants to go home?' And everybody's like, 'I want to go home,'" one source said. "It's an immediate jump" in detainees seeking deportation.
By the numbers: Each self-deportation is costing the government about $2,500, plus the stipend paid to the deportee, DHS says. Removing an immigrant who doesn't volunteer for deportation costs about $18,245, the agency said.
The New York Times complains that the US is, get this, turning away foreigners just for having expired -- void -- visas.
You know, like the law says is supposed to happen!

Deep State Mafia Boss Anthony "Little Bones" Fauci Pleads the Fifth
—Disinformation Expert Ace
This is what I thought he would do.
But now I wonder if he has any legal right to invoke the Fifth.
He was pardoned for all crimes he committed for a ten (or eleven?) year period, 2014 to 2024. Therefore, speaking about his activities then does not incriminate him as he cannot be prosecuted. He could admit the broke every law in America, but that's not self-incrimination, because he can't be prosecuted for what he says.
He could be prosecuted for crimes since then, but not for crimes between 2014 - 2024.
When a court or Congress wants testimony from someone invoking the Fifth, they will grant immunity for that testimony, meaning it cannot be used in any other body in the future for purposes of punishing the testifier. Then testimony can be compelled, as there is no Fifth Amendment right just to keep a secret because you want to keep it a secret.
But Congress doesn't even have to immunize Fauci -- Biden's Magic Autopen already did.
So he should be compelled to testify, or be held physically in contempt until he agrees to talk. (I see now other people are talking about this.)
But I doubt the GOP has the balls to do this.
Update: Rand Paul wants to hold "Little Bones" Fauci in contempt:
Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktokBREAKING: Sen Rand Paul says the committee scheduled a vote on holding Fauci in CONTEMPT after Fauci invoked the Fifth amendment over EIGHTY TIMES
Update: Elric the Blade points out that Fauci can say he is invoking his right not to incriminate himself for state crimes. His pardon only covers federal crimes.
He can also say that his pardon hasn't been accepted by a court as effective.
Meanwhile, Senators are roasting this criminal pig and mass murderer.
KanekoaTheGreat @KanekoaTheGreat · 32m 🚨Hawley GRILLS Fauci: You illegally used 8 federal employees to solicit $1,000,000 in cash prizes for yourself -- while Americans were dying from COVID-19 in the winter of 2020."You turned your staff into a full-time application machine."
"You used eight separate federal employees on federal time using federal resources to solicit cash awards."
"This is your chief of staff using federal email to pressure the agency's own ethics people so that you could get money, so that you could get rich. And it violated the law, didn't it, Dr. Fauci?"
"You cannot use federal resources, federal dollars, federal employees, federal offices, federal email, federal time to solicit cash awards, and you did all of it."
"The worst part is, thousands of people were dying while you were doing it. You were supposed to be the nation's doctor, and you were playing one on TV. But this is what you were doing with your time. Isn't that true?"

Wednesday Morning Rant
—Joe Mannix
This week, PJ Media published an article about the DSA and its clearly-stated plans for revolutionary overthrow of American institutions. The article is typical of those like it. It highlights some of the more radical attitudes and ambitions that are mainstream in the DSA and calls it out for what it is - that is, mostly old-school communism with some contemporary post-modern progressive flair. It also laments the state of the youth and speculates as to the appetite for this kind of revolutionary communism in American popular politics.
As is normal for these kinds of articles, the author calls out how the new resurgence of revolutionary ideology on the Left is not well-loved by various older/traditional players on the Left. Many of the traditional hatchet-men and current marginalized politicians on the Left are worried, as they well should be:
Give credit to more sensible Democrats like Sen. John Fetterman and old Clinton hand James Carville who see the DSA slipping into the DNC like a skinsuit, and recognize the danger...The danger isn't hard to recognize. It has a great big red flashing arrow reading "DANGER" pointing right at it. What is astounding is that many seem to be surprised by it.

The Morning Report — 7/ 29 /26
—J.J. Sefton
Good morning kids. Lots of news to unpack this morning, especially the thoroughly unsurprising yet utterly disgusting revelations about Anthony Fauci courtesy of his little red book, that is his diary. It is not hyperbole to state that he has the blood of tens if not hundreds of thousands of people on his hands because of his direct actions in creating the COVID-19 virus for the Red Chinese and then unleashing it on the world in a lab that was in whole or in part funded by our taxpayer dollars. This horrid bastard will for sure be roasting in Hell one day, but likely will be untouched by our justice system, such as it is.
As it turns out, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is good for something after all.Just to recap, Paul obtained and released more than 1,100 pages of the private diaries Fauci kept between 2019 and 2022 as part of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s investigation into the federal government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. You've probably seen by now that they contained a lot of Fauci fawning over himself and tracking his own celebrity, awards, and media coverage, as well as him saying some not so nice things about his critics.. . Then-Sen. Rubio was quite critical of many of Fauci's statements back then, particularly saying that there was no need for people to go around wearing masks. He also accused Fauci of distorting the percentage of the population that would require vaccinations to reach herd immunity. Fauci's response? He said he was being a "real a*****e."
Speaking of Marco Rubio, Democrat election thievery as well as Democrat-fomented assassination attempts and political terrrorism notwithstanding, I think Marco Rubio stands a pretty good chance at becoming POTUS if not in this go round then perhaps 2032 or afterwards. His tenure as Secretary of State has been outstanding, the situation in Iran notwithstanding, although that situation really is on President Trump, and it is his to resolve despite the fact that he's dealing with dark age savages intent on unleashing armageddon on the world as the precursor to total Islamic conquest of the planet,
But as for Rubio, under the aegis of Trump, he is on the cutting edge of helping transform the perpetually socialist Latin America into free-market America friendly nations. And as CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast (linked here and in the sidebar)
The truth is it's a complicated process. This isn't Venezuela. We likely won't have a clean and tidy(-ish) ending to the regime. You can't just take out one guy, neutralize his cronies, cut off their revenue stream, and start over with Marco Rubio in charge. The Cuban regime is older, more decentralized, and designed to withstand such moves. The power lies within the Communist Party, the military’s economic empire (GAESA), and a deep security apparatus.There's also the media problem. The number of MSM fake news stories from anonymous sources about Cuba is exhausting, and it drives me insane how many prominent people report on them or share them as if they are fact. For example, for a while, there was this idea that the Trump administration's goal for liberating Cuba was the end of this year. It was fun to buy into, and I didn't find it all that outlandish pre-Iran, but Rubio put a stop to that kind of talk last week when speaking to the press.
Well, as the President himself is wont to say, we'll just have to wait and see. Look how far we've come from "Little Marco" to perhaps being his most trusted and effective ally.
As for Iran, this just underscores who and what we're dealing with.
Both men were convicted on charges stemming from clashes that Iranian authorities say resulted in the deaths of four security officers. Human rights groups say the men were sentenced after proceedings marred by allegations of torture, forced confessions, and closed-door trials.The executions stem from the nationwide uprising that began in late December after a currency collapse, soaring inflation, and worsening living conditions sparked protests across Iran. Iranian regime forces responded with a sweeping crackdown that included internet shutdowns, mass arrests, and the widespread use of lethal force. . . Videos shared by Iran International showed residents gathering overnight in hopes of stopping the executions before authorities dispersed the crowd.
We've long hoped and prayed that something might ignite the spark that at long last lets the Iranian people take to the streets and directly take on the regime, or gives those within the security services the ability to turn on their overlords and join the people.
At this point, it's a pipe dream but that's what the Ceaucescus thought as they were hoisted up on a lamp post not all that long ago.
¡Cuba Libre, Iran Libre!
And most importantly AMERICA LIBRE!!!!!!
You’d think socialism’s 100-plus-year record of failure would be enough to dissuade people from embracing tenets that led to the horrors of Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, etc. But hope springs eternal, apparently.(And, just for the record, despite what Bernie Sanders says, the Nordic countries are not socialist. Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Norway come in seventh, eighth, 10th, and 11th, respectively, in the Heritage Foundation’s Index of Economic Freedom. Switzerland comes in second place. The U.S. ranks 22nd.)
What’s even more unfathomable is why Democrats have such a positive view of the DSA when they reject many of its central positions.
Have a good day,

House Committee Issues Subpoenas to Far-Left Chinese Asset Megadonor Neville Roy Singham
—Disinformation Expert Ace
They suspect that China is pumping money into his NGOs for propaganda against the US, but those payoffs are being hidden as anonymous "charitable" donations.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., has issued subpoenas to three tax-exempt organizations tied to socialist megadonor Neville Roy Singham, an American multimillionaire living in Shanghai with ties to the Chinese Communist Party.The subpoenas have been served, a spokesperson for Smith's office told Just the News, on BreakThrough News, Tricontinental and The People's Forum, all three of which are funded, at least in part, by Singham. The subpoenas come after nearly a year of the Committee's attempts to get answers from the three non-profit organizations regarding foreign influence in U.S. nonprofits.
Hundreds of millions in campaign funding concealed
"For months, the Ways and Means Committee has been investigating how the Chinese Communist Party has been taking advantage of our country's laws through its tax-exempt sector to sow chaos and division here in the United States," Smith said in a statement. "Public reporting has traced hundreds of millions of dollars from Neville Roy Singham -- a tech mogul living in Shanghai -- that was funneled through a web of shell companies and donor-advised funds that concealed the true source of the money before it reached these organizations."
...
"Three non-profits connected to Mr. Singham -- BreakThrough News, Tricontinental, and The People's Forum -- have stonewalled the Ways and Means Committee's investigation. That ends now," Smith said in his statement. "These subpoenas will compel the production of the documents they have withheld for months and will help expose how America's tax laws and charitable sector may have been exploited to advance the CCP's influence operations inside the United States. The American people deserve to know whether the CCP has exploited America's tax-exempt sector to advance its agenda. These subpoenas will allow the Ways and Means Committee to identify the networks that exploit our tax laws, and further expose the urgent need for legislation to close those loopholes for good."
...
The congressional subpoenas are the latest move against Singham, who is also under federal investigation by a grand jury in New York for possible violations of tax and foreign agent laws, Just the News previously reported. Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche authorized the grand jury to issue subpoenas as part of an investigation into Singham and his financial network. The investigation was launched by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York.
Meanwhile, Natalie Winters has published a list of fake journalists whom she claims are being funded by China to propagandize for them.

@nataliegwintersREVEALED: Here Are the Mainstream Journalists on China's Payroll 🚨
I exclusively uncovered the identities of prominent U.S. journalists flown to China by a CCP-linked influence operation seeking "favorable coverage" and "positive messages" about Beijing. 🧵
The names include:
- Ezra Klein, New York Times columnist
- Matthew Yglesias, Vox co-founder
- Ronald Brownstein, CNN senior political analyst
- Bradford Plumer, New York Times reporter
- Marjorie Miller, former Associated Press vice presidentAlso identified:
- Steve Clemons, former The Hill editor-at-large
- David Rohde, MS NOW senior national security reporter
- Jonathan Alter, NBC News and MSNBC political analyst
- David Sweeney, former NPR managing editor
- Daniel Gross, former Yahoo Finance columnistAlso on the roster:
- Marilyn Geewax, former NPR senior editor
- Kathleen Deveny, former Newsweek editor
- Tom Omestad, former U.S. News & World Report correspondent
- Steve Chapman, former Chicago Tribune columnist
- Bruce Stokes, former National Journal correspondentThe list continues:
- Craig Gilbert, former Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Washington bureau chief
- Tony Semerad, Salt Lake Tribune reporter
- Shikha Dalmia, former The Week columnist
- Jonathan Broder, former Newsweek senior writerAlso identified:
- Cristi Kempf, former Chicago Tribune associate managing editor
- Jon Healey, Los Angeles Times deputy editorial page editor
- Julian Pecquet, former Foreign Affairs reporterTrip organizer CUSEF was founded by Tung Chee-hwa, a former senior official in the CCP's United Front system, the influence apparatus Beijing uses to cultivate foreign elites and shape institutions outside China.
A bipartisan congressional report says the United Front works to "co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition" to the CCP.
American media was not incidental to the strategy. It was a target.
The access went far beyond conference rooms.
American journalists were taken on curated tours through China, including visits to Chinese military bases, by the same network seeking favorable coverage.
Then came the coverage.
Shikha Dalmia published "China Bashing is for Losers."
Bradford Plumer praised Beijing's climate agenda.
Bruce Stokes warned that economic "decoupling" from China would "backfire."
Catherine Rampell repeatedly attacked Trump's China policies.
One dispatch from her CUSEF-funded trip amplified Chinese officials portraying America as the aggressor and urged Washington to abandon its "zero-sum-game attitude" toward Beijing.
Her substack is here.
The Leaked ReportThe internal report obtained by this publication concerns C100's November 2012 delegation to Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou.
The operation cost approximately $60,000.
It brought five American media figures to China:
Clive Crook
Brian Lehrer
Winnie O'Kelley
Gary Silverman
Jonathan Tepperman
The journalists participated in approximately 20 meetings and visits involving Chinese government officials, state media representatives, business executives, academics and policy figures.
...
The itinerary also included upscale hotels, regional Chinese cuisine, sightseeing and corporate tours.
Journalists Returned Ready to Reshape Coverage
Winnie O'Kelley was then deputy business editor at The New York Times.
She called the trip "eye opening" politically, economically and culturally, adding that it made her more aware of what she characterized as the Chinese preference for "gray areas" and pragmatism.
She then explained how the experience would influence her work at the newspaper:
"I think that I will do a much better job of editing stories from all cross Asia. I am taking back several story ideas and will shape my staff across Asia in some different ways. I hope to add at least one business reporter in China."Gary Silverman, then U.S. news editor and deputy managing editor at the Financial Times, was equally direct:
"I don't think that I will ever think or write about China in the future without reflecting on what I learned this week."WNYC's Brian Lehrer said the trip improved his understanding of the complexities of Chinese politics and the boundaries of political debate inside the country.
The internal report then states:
"He confirmed that his perception of China changed 'in 100 ways.'"
...
The operation gave the editor of one of America's most influential foreign-policy publications a network of handpicked Chinese contacts he intended to continue consulting.
Clive Crook, then a senior editor at The Atlantic, said the program gave him a new conviction that China was a "huge and fascinating story" and that the world was pivoting around the country.
He told the organizers:
"I don't see how you could do a better job in the time available. Just keep it up!"
The internal report then listed articles Crook published after the trip, including:
"Why China and the U.S. Can Be Capitalist Comrades"
"China's Ghost Towns Won't Have a Hard Landing"
C100 even documented the change in attitude and then recorded the resulting coverage.
Fudan University professor Shen Dingli offered perhaps the clearest assessment of the operation:
"It is hard to speak on China without being to the country. You made the change!"
That statement captures what C100's public descriptions attempted to obscure.
The program targeted influential American journalists, controlled their exposure to China and privately celebrated when their perceptions changed.
The Paper Trail Shows This Was an Influence Operation
The leaked internal report was not an outlier.
In 2007, C100 launched an initiative to "enhance understanding and improve perceptions of China in the U.S." By 2010, it explicitly described the role participants were expected to play after returning:
"We hope that they will share their China experience with their peers to make reporting and coverage of China as balanced and objective as possible."
C100 controlled the experience it wanted those journalists to share. Delegates stayed at the St. Regis Beijing, visited the Great Wall and Forbidden City, attended a dinner inside the Great Hall of the People, toured the China Tibetology Research Center and received access to senior political figures, including United Front-linked CUSEF founder Tung Chee-hwa.
...
By 2013, C100 was publicly touting the statistic that most clearly exposed the program's purpose:
"70% reported improved opinions of the country after visitation."
Families of 9/11 Victims Want Terrorist-Loving Communist Zohran Mamdani Banned from 25th Anniversary Remembrance
—Disinformation Expert Ace
The terror nepo baby wants to be there for the gloating.
Families of 9/11 victims are demanding NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani be banned from the 25th anniversary of the attacks at Ground Zero, branding him an apologist for Islamic terror whose presence would be an insult to the memories of nearly 3,000 people murdered."Our objection is based on his public record -- his failure to meaningfully acknowledge the horror of that day, and his employment of, support for, or association with individuals who have minimized 9/11, defended terrorists, or even suggested America 'deserved' the attacks," said Giovanni Galante -- whose 29-year-old wife Grace Catherine Galante was among 2,977 innocents killed by al-Qaeda terrorists.
Galante, 55, is one of the organizers of a petition drive that has collected over 1,100 signatures in a little over a week, including from at least 300 victims' families.
"This day is sacred to us," said the Brooklyn-born real estate agent who now lives in Florida.
"It is not political, and it is not a platform for those connected to such views. His presence would be deeply hurtful and inappropriate -- like an unwelcome guest at a deeply personal ceremony."
Galante and other petition organizers hope to gather enough signatures to convince local lawmakers and the ceremony's organizers, the nonprofit 9/11 Memorial & Museum, to keep Mamdani away from the silver-anniversary ceremony planned for the former Twin Towers site in Lower Manhattan.
The petition posted on Change.org cites an array of concerns about Mamdani, who is the city's first Muslim mayor and has promoted his religion since taking office in January. They include:
* Mamdani's refusal to condemn the "globalize the intifada" rallying cry for violence against Jewish people.
* His palling around on the mayoral campaign last year with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, a notorious, gay-hating Brooklyn imam who once urged followers to participate in gun-free jihad and "march through the city of New York." Wahhaj was an unindicted co-conspirator in 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
* His appointment of Ramzi Kassem as the city's chief counsel. Kassem has defended Ahmed al-Darbi -- an al-Qaeda terrorist who pleaded guilty in a 2002 plot to bomb a French oil tanker -- and Mahmoud Khalil, the radical lead organizer of the 2024 anti-Israel tentifada at Columbia University.
* The mayor's endorsement of fellow Democratic Socialist of America member Aber Kawas for a state Senate seat -- despite her once describing 9/11 as a terror attack that "a couple of people did" and expressing sympathy for Ahmed Ferhani, who pleaded guilty in 2012 to plotting to blow up a Manhattan synagogue.
* Hizzoner's endorsement of Darializa Avila Chevalier for Congress. Mamdani has called the DSA insurgent the "perfect candidate" despite her radical past, which includes once calling the U.S. "a f--ing disgrace" and boasting she desecrated the American flag by using it like a napkin to wipe her filthy hands.
* Mamdani defending al-Qaeda fiend Anwar al-Awlaki -- and blaming America for turning the prostitution-loving cleric into a terrorist, according to some of his 2015 social media posts that resurfaced last year. Al-Awlaki became a prominent imam at mosques in San Diego and Virginia, eventually interacting with three of the heinous 9/11 hijackers there, U.S. officials have said.
* Mamdani's dad, Mahmood Mamdani, a chaired professor of African history and colonialism at Columbia University, has expressed sympathy for suicide bombers.
"Given these concerns, we respectfully ask that the organizers carefully consider whether Mr. Mamdani's participation would align with the intention of the ceremony and the expectations of the families most directly affected by the tragedy," the petition says.
...
They include Mamdani's longtime association with vile left-wing influencer Hasan Piker, who once said "America deserved" the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, and Mamdani's outlandish claim that he and other fellow Muslims were also victims of 9/11 because it supposedly triggered a horrible wave of "Islamophobia," added Sparacio, of Staten Island.
...
[Q]ueens Councilwoman Joann Ariola told The Post she's ready to assist.
"This is a mayor who has endorsed candidates and has been endorsed by individuals who openly said that 'America deserved 9/11,' so I completely understand why families of those who lost loved ones would not want him there," she said.

@stoolpresidente18h
Hmm I wonder why the families of 9/11 don't want Mandami at the 25th anniversary memorial ceremony. Could it be for any of the following reasons?
He campaigned with Hassan Piker who said US deserved 9/11
He endorsed Claire Valdez who also said America deserved 9/11
He endorsed Darializa Avila Chevalier who founded a group at Columbia with a stated goal of overthrowing Western Civilization
He sympathized with the Boston Marathon bombers before the murdered bodies were even cold?
His dad has justified "suicide bombing" (like the ones in 9/11) as "first and foremost a category of soldier".
Mandami has refused to condemn the phrase "Globalize the Intifada" which is exactly what 9/11 was
During his mayoral campaign he took a smiling picture with his arm around Iman Siraj Wahhaj who was accused of being one of the co-conspirators of the 1993 world trade center bombing
He has said he wanted to defund the police about a million times and demonized law enforcement
Yeah I wonder why the families don't want him there. The bigger question is how the hell did we get here in the 1st place?
Ps - All the above is readily accessible with a quick google search. He hasnt hid who he is.

Mitch McConnell Released from Hospital, But Still Not "Medically Cleared" to Do His Job; Democrat Governor Andy Beshear Demands He Return to Senate or Resign
—Disinformation Expert Ace
It was so important to McConnell to remain in office forever. Even after he'd been kicked out of the leadership position due to his opposition to most mainstream Republicans.
And it will wind up costing us.
McConnell out of hospital, still not 'medically cleared' to return to Senate The longtime Senate Republican undergoes multiple daily physical therapy sessions as childhood polio complicates his mobility, his office saysSen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is out of the hospital and on the mend after suffering a fall last month, but he still isn't "medically cleared" to return to the Senate.
His office on Monday released the latest update on the longtime Senate Republican, who has been absent from the upper chamber and the public eye for over a month. The Office of the Attending Physician said in a statement that McConnell "continues his recovery from a fall at home in June."
"OAP physicians visit with the senator every day, discussing all aspects of his rehabilitation care," the Office of the Attending Physician said. "Since his discharge from hospital care, he has maintained a strenuous course of physical therapy and rehabilitation, including multiple sessions a day designed to rebuild strength and reduce the risk of future falls."
Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is still recovering from a fall he suffered at home last month and is not "medically cleared" to return to the Senate, per the Office of the Attending Physician. (Courtesy of the Office of Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.)
"His bout with childhood polio continues to be a significant factor in his mobility," they continued. "He is not yet medically cleared to leave the rehab facility and return to the office."
The latest update from McConnell-world comes after weeks of speculation and allegations that the longest-serving Republican leader in Senate history was dead or in a vegetative state.
McConnell's extended absence from the Senate and murky timeline for his return come as Republicans are sprinting to clear the decks of several legislative priorities where his vote could be needed, including advancing a Russia sanctions package and confirming blockbuster nominees.
His prolonged absence has prompted lawmakers in both chambers to call for more clarity and transparency about his condition and has led some to question the protocol for lawmakers going missing for months at a time.
Democrat governor Andy Beshear wants him to resign so that he can appoint a Democrat to serve out the rest of his term. As I've mentioned before, Republicans passed a law presuming to dictate to the governor that an appointment to an open senate seat must be from the same party as the departing senator, but that seems like it would be struck down in court.
So McConnell might be giving us one final setback to go with all of the other setbacks he's given us through the years.
Democrat Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has called on Sen. Mitch McConnell, one of the two Republican senators from his state, to explain his long-term health absence or resign.In a letter sent to McConnell on Monday, Beshear called upon the former Senate majority leader to fully explain his health status, believing that the carefully released photos do not paint the full picture. His letter came after the McConnell family shared another photo of the senator as he recovers from a reported fall.
"I am addressing this letter to Senator McConnell under the assumption that he is capable of reading and responding verbally, and not incapacitated by means of consciousness or cognition. If the Senator is unable to respond for either of those or other conditions, consider this letter a demand for his Senate staff to be honest and transparent with the people of Kentucky," Beshear wrote, per CNN.
On Monday, McConnell's office said the senator wishes to get back to work but has not yet been medically cleared to leave the rehab facility. Beshear said more information is needed.
"Even the attending physician's written statement does not discuss your actual condition, including whether you can speak, reason, or carry out your duties as a senator. I understand anyone's desire for privacy, but when you run for office and serve as one of a state's two US senators, you willingly abdicate much of your personal privacy," Beshear wrote.
"As Governor of the state you serve, I am calling on you to directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign," he continued.

Zwonitizer Tapes Demonstrate Biden's Serious Cognitive Decline; Massive Amount of NSA/CIA Redactions Show Biden Sharing Tons of Classified Information with a Civilian
—Disinformation Expert Ace
I don't think the tapes have been released yet to the public, but the Oversight Project has heard them and is releasing information about them.
Joe Biden appeared confused, struggled to remember facts and lost his train of thought during a series of meandering conversations with his ghostwriter roughly four years before he was elected president.The former commander-in-chief also repeatedly made reference to retaining classified information in the discussions with his biographer Mark Zwonitzer, according to newly-released audio tapes.
The heavily-redacted recordings of Biden working on his 2017 memoir with Zwonitzer were released Monday to the House Judiciary Committee and the conservative Oversight Project nonprofit after a two-year-long court battle.
"We now know what has been long assumed: the autopen scandal extends far back beyond just when Joe Biden 'ran' for president from his basement," Oversight Project President Mike Howell said in a statement.
"These tapes have so many pauses and 'ums' that it sounds like Biden is buffering like a dial-up Internet connection," Howell added.
In one part of an interview with Zwonitzer, Biden says, "Alright -- what was I going to ask you? Something else... Uh... um. Oh gosh. I can't think of anything else."
In another moment, Biden asks his ghostwriter to "Hang on a second," while he apparently studies his notes. "Um ... it's confusing me," the former president later says.
...
According the Oversight Project, the recordings prove "Biden was already demonstrating significant cognitive decline" when he began meeting with Zwonitzer -- just a few months after leaving the Obama administration -- for the 2017 book, "Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose."
"In the sections of the audio tapes that were not redacted, Biden references his confused state of mind on many days," the group said in a statement. "As we know occurred during his Presidency, Biden was clearly experiencing good days and bad days as far back as 2017."
During Zwonitzer interviews with Biden the former president read "nearly verbatim" from notebooks that contained sensitive national security and foreign policy, according to Hur's 2024 report on the classified documents investigation.
"So this was, I early on, um, in '09 I just found all the classified stuff downstairs," Biden is heard telling Zwonitzer in one snippet from the roughly 70 hours of recordings.
"Some of this may be classified so be careful with it," the 46th president warns his ghostwriter at one point. "I'm not sure ... It's not marked classified but --"
On the tapes, Biden could be heard discovering classified material in real time as he leafed through papers with Zwonitzer nearby.
"The next thing I have here is, um, this is classified ..." Biden says in another snippet.
The former president also described potentially classified White House meetings with Zwonitzer, according to CBS News, which first-reviewed the tapes, including "a big meeting with the CIA and everyone," "a big meeting down in the Situation Room," and "a long meeting where DOD brief ... POTUS."
In an Oct. 10, 2016, recording, Biden brags that he retained notes without anyone being aware.
"I have extensive notes over this period of time... They didn't know I have this," he said, according to the outlet.
Hur found that Biden "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials" after leaving the vice presidency but refused to charge the then sitting president because he would "likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."The Oversight Project argued that the extent of Biden's disclosure of classified information is "much more egregious than previously disclosed" by Hur.
"At several points in the tapes, Biden references the information he is reviewing is likely classified, which is followed by significant audio redactions for classified information," the group said in a statement. "This was not just once or twice, these classified redactions cover significant portions of the audio files released.
"The listener shouldn't overlook the audio redactions because those redactions are intended to cover the disclosure of classified information."
Indeed, the huge amounts of the tapes that have been redacted for national security reasons shows just how wilful Biden's exposure of classified information really was.
Pages of one of the interviews were also blacked out that was between Zwonitzer and an "unidentified male speaker," and other portions were blacked out because of the National Security Act. Other information was blacked out by the CIA.Audio recordings:
The Oversight Project released hours of audio recordings, which were filled with breaks that highlighted the sharing of classified information. Biden also acknowledged that he had documents still in his possession that the White House had not been aware of.
The audio recordings also highlighted the former president's memory lapses, where he failed to recall the names of some of his associates and got days confused, showing that Biden's memory issues were prevalent before he even became president.
One example occurred in April 2017, where Biden could not remember the name of one of his economic advisors, Alan Krueger.
"I'll think of his name," Biden said. "I should write the names down because I keep forgetting them."
Oversight Project:
The Oversight Project highlighted that the extent of Biden's sharing of classified information was far greater than Hur previously indicated, and that multiple times in the tapes and transcripts, Biden references the information he is reviewing is likely classified, which is followed by audio redactions.
"The listener shouldn't overlook the audio redactions because those redactions are intended to cover the disclosure of classified information," the Oversight Project wrote in a news release. "The silence of the redactions loudly demonstrates that Biden knowingly and willfully disclosed classified information to his ghostwriter."
Mamdani Publishes Names of Property Owners Whose Estates Will be Confiscated
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration has published a searchable database of Big Apple properties that could fall under the state's new pied-a-terre tax, effectively doxxing thousands of wealthy New Yorkers.The city's Department of Finance uploaded the comprehensive list -- which purports to cover all unoccupied, non-primary residences in the five boroughs worth north of $1 million -- including the full names and addresses of every property owner.
"It's a reckless and foolish move, especially considering there are potentially thousands of properties on this list that do not qualify as second homes or whose owners will successfully dispute their inclusion," Council Minority Leader David Carr (R-Staten Island) -- whose own home appears on the list -- told The Post Monday.
Elderly women who had lived at their properties for decades were in the lists. Note it's supposed to be a list of basically-empty properties used as a vacation homes or, as the name of the tax puts it, pied-a-terres. But properties where the owner lives there year-round are on the lists of estates to be seized.
The move follows a widely panned X post by the mayor in which he put wealthy residents on notice to "check your mailbox when you're back in the five boroughs, because you've got mail," a warning that notification letters were on their way....
The socialist darling has long touted the policy enacted by Gov. Kathy Hochul and Albany Democrats to tax second homes in the city -- though critics have warned it could cause property values to plummet.Mamdani threatened to raise city property taxes by a staggering 9.5% in February unless he was allowed to "tax the rich" to cover a $12 billion budget gap that was later revised down to $5.4 billion.
But Democratic city Comptroller Mark Levine's office said the real figure would be closer to $340 to $380 million and could diminish over time.Unsurprisingly, the colossal database of names and addresses included several A-list New Yorkers, including director Woody Allen, longtime Vogue editor Anna Wintour and actress Cynthia Nixon -- a loyal Mamdani supporter.
What is surprising is the document's sheer size and some of the properties included.
Citywide, The Post counted over 960,000 residences and individuals listed as potentially in line to be hit with Mamdani's pied-a-terre tax, even though just 31,000 homes were supposed to be subjected to the new levy as he and Hochul initially sold it to the public.
Many of the homes included in the database appeared to be misaligned with a tax aimed at well-heeled residents with multi-million dollar vacation homes, including some two dozen modest homes on Chaffee Avenue in working-class Throggs Neck in the Bronx.
Challenger Drive on Staten Island was another middle-class enclave with dozens of addresses appearing on Mamdani's list, though it wasn't clear that they were in fact second homes.The average home values on Chaffee Avenue and Challenger Drive ranged from mid-$500,000s to the low $800,000s -- a far cry from the price tag of your average New York summer residence.
Weird! A socialist promised he would only seize the properties of the very wealthy turns out to want to seize the properties of the middle-class as well. I never saw that one coming.

The Tuesday Morning Rant
—Misanthropic Humanitarian
Good morning. CBD is on special assignment. Again. So you get this.
To be honest with you. I've been pretty busy with projects. And my daily upkeep of the news has been lacking.
As I was looking at my Face Book account Sunday morning there were some notifications from several people I know. They were responding to a news item I had no knowledge of. But, from what I gathered. Someone was killed by a cop in my home state's capitol city, Madison.
And the Chief of Police of Madison had lost control of a press conference.
So before I even searched web for "Madison Man Killed By Police", my guess was a black male with a felony record decided to play FAFO. Of course his death was not a result of his piss poor decision making skills but Madison's finest. Although Madison is about as woke as woke goes. The average LEO wants only one thing. To return home at the end of his/her shift. No "Madison Man Killed By Police" you cannot play FA and not face FO.

The Morning Report — 7/ 28 /26

Good morning kids.
With the situation in Iran still unresolved, not only our current military action against the Mullahs but the past 47 years of tyrannical despotism against a long suffering populace that yearns to return to the normalcy that goes back to the time before they came to power.
Exile is hard enough on its own, but days like today make it even harder.America gave me safety, freedom, and the opportunity to rebuild my life. I learned the language, embraced the culture, and came to appreciate the rule of law. I built a career. I made friends. I built a life. I am proud of everything I have accomplished here.
Because of that, people often assume that after twenty-seven years, I have gotten used to being away from my homeland. But that is only half the story.
The other half is watching the life I was forced to leave behind, in a matter of minutes, slowly disappear.
It is difficult and heartbreaking to read the erudite Anni Cyrus' cri de couer not only for her and for sure many Iranian expats and of course those still suffering at the hands of the Mullahs but her words hit me on a gut level for what we ourselves perhaps are on the precipice of having to experience ourselves. As I commented there, "Given who and what the Democrat/Left are and the rise of soicialism and it’s ally Islam here in the USA, I sometimes feel as if one day I might wind up being an exile in my own homeland. God forbid."
The Democratic Socialists of America mean to end the United States — and if you don't believe me, take a look at what DSA Co-Chair Megan Romer had to say about it this weekend. . . Welcome to the U.S.S.A., comrades. There might not be any prisons for criminals, but why do I get the feeling that there will be plenty of camps for resistors?As my old-school blogging acquaintance Peter "Da Tech Guy" Ingemi put it, "Well, I'll give her 10 out of 10 for honesty." To that, I'd add: You've been warned.
Update: Commenter I used to have a different nic points out the utter failure to oppose this is de facto being co-conspirators (Take a look at the actions of Congressional Republicans over the past 30 years and tell me that it's only one of the parties.) Sadly all too true, sir. JJS
New York City’s democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani doxxed a wide swath of his own constituents — just days after a terrorist attack — by publishing a searchable database of properties impacted by his new “pied-à-terre” tax. The database, uploaded by the New York City Department of Finance, includes the addresses and names of property owners of homes valued at over one million dollars that the city has determined are not being used as primary residences.
Good and hard New Yorkers, you're going to get it right in the neck. He and his cadres will kick you out on the streets, take all your money and if you dare make a peep in protest, quite likely your life.
Well, the wolf is at your throats and you voted for it. Did I say wolves, I meant coyotes!
In 2009, Taylor Mitchell, a 19-year-old woman, went hiking in a Canadian park on a public trail and was attacked by coyotes. Some hikers heard her screams as she was assaulted for half an hour, but did nothing to help, when rescue finally arrived, she was conscious and bleeding badly.The young woman was airlifted to the hospital, but did not survive.
Under pressure from environmentalists, Canada, like parts of the United States, had allowed coyotes and wolves to expand their territories, especially the coyote-wolf hybrids who had killed Taylor, and the animals had become increasingly aggressive, wiping out their natural prey, and eventually stalking and attacking humans. The attack on the young woman was one of a series.
Taylor’s mother however pleaded with the authorities to spare the coyotes who had killed her daughter. “When the decision had been made to kill the pack of coyotes, I clearly heard Taylor’s voice say, ‘Please don’t, this is their space.’ She wouldn’t have wanted their demise, especially as a result of her own,” she wrote. “She was passionate about animals, was an environmentalist.”
Forget about Mamdani and all the rest, it's fools like this who vote for them election after election that's the problem.
Have a good day,
