Chinese Are Spying Like Crazy. Who Cares?
Posted By: Dreadnought, 11/18/2025 11:24:03 PM
Chinese penetration of Western countries has been going for a while. In the U.K., they are getting worried about it: MPs and members of the House of Lords have been warned by MI5 that they face a significant risk of espionage from the Chinese state. Sir Lindsay Hoyle, the Commons Speaker, has circulated a new “espionage alert” issued by the security services. In a message to MPs, Hoyle said Chinese state actors were “relentless” in trying to “interfere with our processes and influence activity at parliament”. This article, in the London Times,

Anti-Israel agitators who spread disruption at US colleges and were punished by authorities were awarded checks for $1,000 by a Muslim nonprofit, The Post has learned.
The money was given to students who faced penalties for leading pro-Palestinian protests before and after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 2023, according to a bombshell report by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and the Intelligent Advocacy Network (IAN).
The cash was awarded from a “Champions of Justice Fund,” set up by the California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) as “institutional endorsement,” the report claims.
In California, the largest arm of the CAIR web of nonprofits,
The Epstein chimera
7 replies
From The Hill newspaper,
Senate unanimously approves bill to force release of Epstein files.
No doubt that Pres. Trump will quickly sign the measure. Also from The Hill,
The Senate agreed by unanimous consent Tuesday to approve a House-passed bill to require the Justice Department to release all unclassified records and documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, sending the bill to President Trump’s desk for a signature.
UNCLASSIFED? What, what? So this entire pointless exercise just got more pointless (pointlesser? pointleast?). What about other government agencies, like the CIA or NSA?
The Trump administration has been secretly formulating a new plan to end the war in Ukraine in consultation with Russia, Axios reported Tuesday, citing U.S. and Russian officials.
It is a 28-point roadmap inspired by U.S. President Donald Trump's plan for the Gaza ceasefire, the news outlet reported. Similar to the Gaza plan, the proposal would consist of "peace in Ukraine, security guarantees, security in Europe, and future U.S. relations with Russia and Ukraine," Axios reported, citing sources. The U.S. special envoy, Steve Witkoff, is leading the formation of the plan and "has discussed it extensively with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev," Axios reported, citing a U.S. official.

“Don’t give up the ship.” The phrase was made famous by Captain James Lawrence as he lay mortally wounded from the battle between his USS Chesapeake and British frigate HMS Shannon off the coast of Boston during the War of 1812.
Unfortunately for the captain, even though his phrase became legendary within the Navy, his ship was in fact captured by the Brits.
Now, a group of Democrat lawmakers is reviving the exhortation in a minute-and-a-half video that urges military troops and intelligence officials to defy orders from above that they deem illegal. Although Donald Trump is not mentioned by name, it’s clear that they’re referring
In a startling first, a Washington state man has been infected with a strain of bird flu previously only detected in animals and never before in humans.
The “severely ill” man was hospitalized with a high fever, confusion and respiratory distress earlier this month and confirmed to have H5N5, a subtype of avian influenza carried by wild birds like ducks and geese. The Washington State Department of Health described the unidentified patient as being “older” and having “underlying health conditions.”
The agency noted that the man has a “mixed backyard flock of domestic poultry” at his home in Grays Harbor County, on the southwest Pacific coast of the state.
Trump Brushes Off Jamal Khashoggi Assassination

in Meeting with Saudi Crown Prince: ‘Things Happen’ 11 replies
President Trump on Tuesday said Jamal Khashoggi was “extremely controversial” and claimed Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman “knew nothing” about his murder, contradicting the conclusion reached by U.S. intelligence services which found that Salman ordered the late Washington Post columnists’s brutal assassination.
An ABC journalist asked Trump about Khashoggi’s assassination on Tuesday as the president met with bin Salman in the Oval Office.
Trump said bin Salman has done a “phenomenal job.”
“You’re mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial,” the president said of Khashoggi, “a lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about.”
House lawmakers voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to compel the Trump administration to release the federal government’s files on deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The House voted 427-1 on a bipartisan legislative measure to have the Department of Justice release all investigative materials related to Epstein after President Trump gave House Republicans his blessing to support the effort. Representative Clay Higgins (R., Texas) was the lone no vote. The measure now heads to the GOP-controlled Senate.
WaPo Editorial Page Really Is Changing
5 replies
Jeff Bezos made some significant changes at The Washington Post, most notably to the Opinion Page. The first real signal of what was coming was his decision to quash the Post's endorsement of Kamala Harris in the election, which led to an inexorable exodus from the top echelons of the paper.
He instituted buyouts, and made clear that paper would no longer be laser-focused on being a shill for the Democrats and their further left-wing allies. He announced to the world that the Post was moving in a new direction, and the big question became whether that was possible, and how much things would change.
A short time ago the UN Security Council voted to adopt President Trump's peace plan for Gaza. This is being seen as a big win for the Trump administration.
The United Nations Security Council on Monday approved President Trump’s peace plan for Gaza, a breakthrough that provides a legal U.N. mandate for the administration’s vision of how to move past the cease-fire and rebuild the war-ravaged Gaza Strip after two years of war.
The Council’s vote was also a major diplomatic victory for the Trump administration. For the past two years, as the conflict between Israel and Hamas has raged, the United States had been isolated
President Donald Trump announced Friday night on Truth Social that he is withdrawing his support and endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her a "ranting lunatic" and accusing the Georgia Republican of "complaining" instead of celebrating what he described as his administration’s "record achievements."
The president claimed that Greene "has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore" in a long post where he ultimately vowed "Complete and Unyielding Support" to any conservative primary challenger leading into the 2026 midterm elections.
Trump claimed Greene had "gone Far Left," citing her recent appearance on The View, and gave her the new nickname "Wacky Marjorie."
Welp. If there ever was a firm rebuke of the international community...
...The European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, had an opinion to share from the Borg collective. She offered it after arriving in Colombia (not exactly US-friendly territory to begin with) that the United States should mind its manners and heed the EU's gentle chidings.
The EU's Kaja Kallas emphasised the need to follow international law on self-defence and UN mandates at the CELAC-EU summit in Colombia, amid continued US strikes on narco-boats.

President Donald Trump is no longer fighting the release of the Epstein files. But that doesn’t mean he’s happy about it.
Trump threw his support behind a congressional effort to release all the files tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after it became clear that he could not halt its momentum and that he risked suffering an embarrassing blow on the House floor, people familiar with the matter told CNN.
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) plans to increase shipping prices in January as it attempts to stabilize its finances while adapting to a rapidly changing postal delivery market. The proposed changes—which were recently approved by the service's governors—follow the release of its fiscal year 2025 financial results, which showed losses of $9 billion, despite a fairly modest revenue growth. The proposed changes will increase rates by 6.6 percent for Priority Mail, 5.1 percent for Priority Mail Express, 7.8 percent for USPS Ground Advantage, and 6 percent for Parcel Select.

The Justice Department’s prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey is facing death by a thousand procedural errors.
Federal judges overseeing the criminal case have increasingly raised concerns about the department’s efforts to investigate and indict the adversary of President Trump, from the evidence presented to grand jurors to the prosecutor who made the government’s case. Any one of the issues could do away with Comey’s charges before he’s ever put on trial.
“This is what happens when you try to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear,” said Barbara McQuade, a former U.S. attorney.

Could “Cats” be changing his stripes?
Influential billionaire GOP donor John Catsimatidis — a fierce critic of socialist Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani — now says he wants New York conservatives to work with the incoming administration to ensure the Big Apple’s success.
The grocery store magnate hosted a round-table style panel at his WABC radio studio on Monday with right-leaning bigwigs like former NYPD Chief of Department John Chell and one-time Republican mayoral candidate Fernando Mateo.
“The one thing that we all hold in common is that we all love New York… and we want New York to thrive like it always has,” the Gristedes supermarket owner said during the unusual press conference.
President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, a Catholic, fired off a scathing response to a recent letter from U.S. Catholic bishops after they put out a “special pastoral letter” that slammed the administration for its deportation policies and operations following their yearly fall meeting last week. More Catholics need to push back against the ridiculous and unhealthy political views liberal clergy keep pushing. Every nation has the right to protect itself and its borders, a principle that, until recent years, didn’t spark much controversy.
Earlier today, a group of Senate Democrats released a bizarre video encouraging members of the military to defy orders from President Trump, the Commander in Chief.
These are the same people who have been claiming for years that Trump is a threat to democracy, and now they’re trying to subvert democracy. That is what is happening here. These Democrats are trying to subvert the will of the people.
Scott Jennings, the lone conservative on CNN, appeared on Mark Halperin’s 2Way program and commented on this topic.
Texas cannot use its new congressional map for the 2026 election and will instead need to stick with the lines passed in 2021, a three-judge panel ruled Tuesday.
The decision is a major blow for Republicans, in Texas and nationally, who pushed through this unusual mid-decade redistricting at the behest of President Donald Trump. They were hoping the new map would yield control of 30 of the state’s 38 congressional districts — up from the 25 they currently hold — and help protect the narrow GOP majority in the U.S. House.

Player Banned by NCAA for His Role in

a Sports Betting Scheme Acknowledges He Point-Shaved 15 replies
One of the college basketball players banned by the NCAA for participating in sports-betting operations has acknowledged his role in a gambling scheme.
Former University of New Orleans guard Dae Dae Hunter said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that he participated in point-shaving.
“I did go out there and not do my best: basically shooting the ball and not actually trying to make it,” Hunter said on the show, which aired Monday. “I just had a child. The school wasn’t paying me, so I was trying to get money to actually take care of my child.”
Hunter and two New Orleans teammates are among six players whose eligibility was revoked by the NCAA
Gov. Kathy Hochul thought endorsing Zohran Mamdani would win over his supporters; instead they’re now threatening to oust her if she doesn’t cave to their demands. Oops.
If Hochul blocks tax hikes on the rich to fund “universal child care,” warned state Sen. Jabari Brisport at a “Tax the Rich” rally Sunday, “she has to go.” Brisport complains she’s shot down such plans twice before; “If you get a third strike, you’re out,” he threatened, to wild applause.
Another tax-the-rich crowd booed Hochul — to her face — when she took the stage at a Mamdani event with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders a few weeks ago.
