Senior Chinese General Goes Missing
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 4/29/2025 8:33:29 PM
Gen. He Weidong, one of China’s highest-ranking military officers, missed the latest in a string of important meetings on Friday. The general has not been seen in public since March 11. He, 67, climbed steadily through the ranks of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) during his 45-year military career, accumulating influence in the Chinese Communist Party as he went. He commanded both the Eastern and Western Theaters before becoming a member of the all-powerful Politburo in 2022. He is currently second vice chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), the top leadership body of the PLA. This makes him the second highest-ranking military officer in China, behind only

Several deep blue states have moved to extend healthcare to illegal aliens, but costs have exploded and enrollments have raced far past the numbers lawmakers expected, causing budget disasters across the board.
In 2019, California became the first deep blue state to allow illegal aliens to enroll in the state’s healthcare program. Since then, the costs have wildly spun out of control. This year it was reported that the costs of the program was more than three billion dollars above the estimates. Now some are asking why.
“We should not bear these costs. Period. But especially in a budget crisis,” California Assemblymember Carl DeMaio (R-San Diego) said in March,
Influencer Valentina Gomez probably won’t be asked to attend next year’s Texas Muslim Capitol Day.
On Tuesday, Raw Story reported that Gomez attended this year’s event, and she posted footage to social media platform X of herself taking to the podium while ripping of a hijab and addressing a crowd of Muslims.
Gomez included the caption, “Islam has no place in Texas. Help me to Congress so we can end the Islamization of America. I only fear God.” Speaking into the microphone, Gomez unleashed on the crowd, telling them that “Islam is the religion of rape, incest, and pedophilia where they bow down to a stupid rock and a false prophet.”

Ford CEO Jim Farley got under the hood of the automaker's commitment to American manufacturing Tuesday on FOX Business, telling "Mornings with Maria" host Maria Bartiromo that one sprawling Kentucky truck plant showcases President Trump's vision for the U.S. auto industry.
"This is one of the biggest, most profitable plants in the world. [It's] certainly our most important – it makes the Super Duty, the new Expedition and Navigator, [which are all] super popular vehicles…" Farley said, speaking live from the plant.
Rooted in Louisville, Kentucky, the plant houses over 9,000 employees, providing what Farley coined "good" but "hard" jobs – leaving workers to face temperatures over

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night will stop the Trump administration from tracking down and deporting illegals. And they're reportedly using all means necessary, including the United States Postal Service (USPS), to identify those who are on American soil illegally.
According to a rather disapproving report by the Washington Post, the USPS's storied Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) has joined forces with the mass deportation efforts of President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The USPS is now apparently playing a major role in the intragovernmental DHS task force that is responsible for finding, detaining, and deporting illegals. The move makes a ton of
Hundreds of angry Chinese workers are marching in the streets of China’s industrial cities to protest layoffs and unpaid wages after President Donald Trump’s tariffs forced their factories to shut down.
Unemployment was already a big problem for China’s faltering post-pandemic economy, particularly youth unemployment, and now analysts are predicting Trump’s tariffs could wipe out more than 16 million jobs.
Radio Free Asia (RFA) on Tuesday quoted Goldman Sachs analysts who predicted communications, apparel, and chemical manufacturers would be especially hard hit. One of the biggest strikes and protest marches occurred last week at a factory that produces sporting goods. A company representative hastily hung up the phone
During an interview with Fox 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul on Tuesday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) responded to a question on whether he would support actions like those taken in the case of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan by stating that while he doesn’t know all of the details of the Dugan case, “they’re not illegal aliens. They are our neighbors. We care about them. We love them.”
Host Amy Hockert asked, “A lot of people read in the headlines in the last couple of weeks, the last week or so, this judge in Wisconsin who was arrested and then charged with obstructing an immigration operation at a courthouse. Would you
As the old saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.
How else can you make sense of or explain how two unrelated state court judges, 1,072 miles (Massachusetts and Wisconsin) and seven years apart, broke federal law by actively assisting an illegal alien evade capture by federal agents who had all of the necessary immigration paperwork to detain or remove the alien from the United States?
The facts of their cases are eerily similar, forcing you to ask yourself, “What the heck was this judge thinking when she knew the feds had already prosecuted another judge for doing the exact same thing?”
The Senate passed a joint resolution to repeal a Department of Energy appliance standard on Wednesday by a margin of 52-46, further advancing the roll-back of Biden-era green energy regulations on household appliances.
Republican Georgia Rep. Andrew Clyde is the lead sponsor of the joint resolution of disapproval H.J. Res. 42, which aims to nullify a rule issued by the DOE on October 9, 2024 under former President Joe Biden which added new efficiency and reporting regulations for appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines and AC units.
The Trump administration announced wide-ranging sanctions Wednesday on a vast Iranian oil smuggling network that has generated "hundreds of millions of dollars in illicit funds for Iran's destabilizing activities," according to information provided by the State Department.
The sanctions target five United Arab Emirates-based companies, a Turkish petrochemical supplier, an Iranian cargo firm, and two ships known to ferry Tehran’s illicit petroleum products to foreign markets like that of China. The State Department views the sanctions, some of the furthest-reaching to date, as key to "driving Iran’s illicit oil and petrochemical exports—including exports to China—to zero," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement.
Packaging giant Pratt Industries announced Wednesday it was committing $5 billion to support President Trump’s push to bolster American manufacturing.
Atlanta-based Pratt announced the investment ahead of an afternoon White House event touting America’s potential to business leaders.
“To make America great again, we need to make in America again,” owner and executive chairman Anthony Pratt said in a statement.
"That’s why I’m proud to support the president’s call to reindustrialize America and again make the US the manufacturing powerhouse of the world.”
In its announcement, Pratt predicted the investment would lead to 5,000 new jobs across the US, including in key electoral states Arizona, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

An illegal immigrant was busted by immigration agents in Texas after trying to hide up a tree for around nine hours.
Guatemalan national Raul Ical, 29, fled into the backyard of a house in San Antonio on Tuesday morning after fleeing a traffic stop by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), KSAT reports.
He then scaled a tree, with video showing him high up it as ICE agents waited below.
Authorities tried going up into the tree at least twice to negotiate with Ical before he finally came down
Delta Air Lines announced its employees worldwide will be receiving a pay raise this year, marking the fourth consecutive year the company has increased wages.
Each employee will receive a 4% wage increase, which is in accordance with what CEO Ed Bastian announced in January at a leadership conference, according to a Delta news release.
The increase in wages comes just three months after the company paid out nearly five weeks of extra pay in February as part of its profit-sharing program. Delta said it shares profits with employees more than any other U.S. airline or company, totaling over $10 billion in payouts over the past 10 years.

Former vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., continued a self-described “listening tour” across the country at a Harvard Kennedy School forum on Monday night, ruling out a 2028 presidential bid and revealing why former Vice President Kamala Harris chose him as her running mate.
Walz said Harris chose him, in part, because, “I could code talk to White guys watching football, fixing their truck” and “put them at ease.” The Minnesota governor described himself as the “permission structure” for White men from rural America to vote for Democrats.
Pope Francis, Bishop of Rome, and head of the Roman Catholic Church died Easter Monday morning and his funeral was attended by thousands of mourners and a few faux Catholics like the Bidens and Nancy Pelosi.
Almost immediately after his death was announced, the media was swarmed with responses from Hollywood stars and other celebrities expressing their sympathy for the passing of this ‘beloved’ pontiff. Many other Catholics, conservative and fundamentalist, more likely silently thought, Ding, Dong, the pope is dead.” I, myself, do not believe that Pope Francis was an evil man,

Shocking video shows the moment a tourist stupidly climbed into a crocodile’s enclosure to pose for selfies, only for the animal to turn around and attack him.
The brainless visitor, 29, thought that the 15-foot reptile was a statue in the zoo in Zambonga Sibugay in the Philippines.
In the video, the man is seen climbing over a chain-link fence and wading through water before pulling out his cellphone and grinning.
Suddenly, the fully-grown female croc, named Lalay, charges toward the man, sinking her fangs into his arm.

Tariff Authority Fails Despite Three Republicans
In Support 14 replies
Republican senators Rand Paul, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski all voted in support of removing President Trump’s ability to impose tariffs under national security grounds. However, the overall vote failed in the Senate 49-49. The vote was mostly symbolic for the upper chamber as the House previously approved a rule to block any effort to restrict President Trump’s trade authority, and the White House would obviously veto any bill that might pass. However, the vote does showcase the Republicans who are in support of multinational corporations outsourcing jobs and manufacturing. The bill was originally created by Republican Senator Rand Paul and Democrat Senator Ron Wyden.

Texas Senate Run — Because Three Losses
Weren’t Enough? 14 replies
Beto O’Rourke is teasing another run for Senate in Texas.
O’Rourke was asked at a recent town hall event whether he would consider running in 2026 for the seat currently held by John Cornyn.
“If it comes to pass that this is what the people of Texas want, that it’s the highest and best use of what I can give to you, then yes, I will,” O’Rourke responded.
O’Rourke, whose real first name is Robert but has styled himself as the Hispanic sounding “Beto,” is somewhat of a laughingstock for his numerous failed campaigns.
Q. What’s the 2028 version of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?
A. J.B. Pritzker and Stacey Abrams. Their campaign slogan is Make America Morbidly Obese Again.
Pritzker has subtly, but very clearly called for political violence against Republicans. He deliberately timed this call for the first week of warm weather in the Chicago area. And there’s really no telling what will happen this weekend, or the rest of the summer, as a result.
We have a president who was targeted by active shooters — not once, but twice. He was actually shot once. There have been many other credible threats against Donald Trump’s life, including a plot
It seems Bill Belichick’s girlfriend Jordon Hudson’s controversial actions have led to a costly setback for the North Carolina Tar Heels football program.
Despite being praised by Colin Cowherd as 73-year-old Belichick's "PR director" following a questionable CBS News Sunday Morning interview, Hudson’s behavior has had far-reaching consequences. The 24-year-old played a key role in derailing the Tar Heels' opportunity to feature in the popular NFL docuseries Hard Knocks.

from Arresting Suspected Illegal Aliens

United States District Court Judge Jennifer Thurston, appointed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California by former President Joe Biden, is blocking Border Patrol Agents across most of California from arresting suspected illegal aliens unless they have a warrant for their arrest.
This week, Thurston issued a preliminary injunction that will prevent Border Patrol agents in California’s eastern district, the largest judicial district in the state, from carrying out arrests of suspected illegal aliens without a warrant and halting such arrests unless agents have a “reasonable suspicion” the suspect is an illegal alien.
If you’re of a certain age, you remember how president Gerald Ford became the butt of national jokes for falling on a staircase. During a trip to Austria, Ford got to the bottom of the stairs exiting the airplane and tripped, falling down the last few steps. Everyone from Saturday Night Live on down to local bar comics mocked him for looking like a slapstick character out of a silent picture.
Had that been Joe Biden (and it was, during Biden’s presidency), and had the year been 2020-2024, there would have been no joking in the national press or entertainment outlets. Even noticing that Biden fell
Louisiana Senator John Kennedy continued his reign as the most quotable member of Congress with his latest description of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
In an interview with Fox News personality Sean Hannity, Kennedy described the Democratic New York congresswoman as only he can.
Hannity prompted the Republican senator by discussing how the resistance party has refused to pivot even an inch since they were wiped out in the election, noting they are now the party of the Squad, "grandpa Bernie [Sanders]," AOC, and Jasmine Crockett.
Kennedy replied that he believes "Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez is the leader of the Democratic Party today."
