Opening statements released late Wednesday for three suspended FBI agents testifying as whistleblowers at Thursday's hearing of the House Judiciary's Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government reveal their complaints of a pattern of punishment over their concerns about the FBI's investigations of the Jan. 6, 2021 attacks and other agency investigations.
The FBI Wednesday night announced it had revoked the clearances of three agents who had either taken part in the protests on Jan. 6, 2021, or who had expressed views about it that led to questions about their "allegiance to the United States," reports The New York Times.
Ford Motor will import its next-generation Lincoln Nautilus from China to the U.S., the company said Monday night.
The vehicle is currently produced for the U.S. at a Canadian plant, where the automaker recently announced it would be investing about $1.3 billion to transition the facility for EVs.
Importing a vehicle from China to the U.S. is not unprecedented but can draw public and political criticism.
The midsize crossover is currently produced for the U.S. at Ford’s Oakville Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada. The automaker recently announced it would be investing 1.8 billion Canadian dollars (about $1.3 billion) to transition the facility into a new electric vehicle hub.
This marks the first time Lincoln will import a vehicle to the U.S. from China.
Importing a vehicle from China to the U.S. is not unprecedented but can draw public and political criticism or backlash, especially when tensions between the two countries are high.
Most notably, General Motors has been criticized for importing its Buick Envision crossover from China to the U.S. since 2016. The Detroit automaker has sold more than 200,000 of the China-made vehicles, which American union officials have called the “Invasion” and “a slap in the face.”
Importing a vehicle from overseas to the U.S. can make good business sense, however, for a company such as Ford.
Biden Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm testified Wednesday to the Senate Armed Services Committee that she supported requiring the United States military to move to an all-electric non-vehicle fleet by 2030.
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Monday on her show “Deadline” that not one Republican is doing a “single goddamn thing to protect democracy” while discussing Tennessee state lawmakers expelling two members from their House seats.
Wallace said, “This is a Republican problem. The Democrats haven’t done anything wrong other than maybe not fighting like Republicans. The corruption of the party that you and I were a part of is also a story that gets short-shifted. We sanitize that too. It’s corrupt from the top to the bottom, from east to west. Not one Republican condemned the Tennessee Republican majority for what they did. Not one Republican who thought that bringing democracy to Iraq or Afghanistan would make our country safer, which was — I know it’s unpopular now—that was the position of Mitch McConnell and every elected Republican. Not one of them is interested in doing a single goddamn thing to protect democracy here in America, here in Tennessee. Not one of them. And I actually find it more chilling that not a single Republican condemned what the yahoos in Tennessee did than what the yahoos in Tennessee actually did.”
The Biden administration is reportedly planning to propose some of the most stringent automobile pollution rules in the world, which are meant to drive up sales of electric vehicles to ten times their current level so that up to 67 percent of new cars sold in the U.S. are electric vehicles by 2032.
The proposed limits on tailpipe emissions will be brought by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), with EPA administrator Michael Regan making the announcement on Wednesday in Detroit, Michigan, according to people familiar with the situation who spoke to the New York Times.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued an “assessment tool” for teachers and school administrators to measure their commitment to “LGBTQ inclusivity” in their classrooms.
The tool asks leading questions about school personnel and their faithfulness to queer theory, including encouraging sexual education teachers to have gender neutral anatomy, referring to boys as “body with a penis” and girls as “body with a vagina.”
The coup to install a technocratic globalist government in Westminster is now complete as former Goldman Sachs banker Rishi Sunak was invited to form a new government by King Charles III on Tuesday morning, after the parliamentary Conservative Party, alongside financial institutions, and the legacy media moved with astonishing speed to overthrow the short-lived Truss government.
Former Chancellor of the Exchequer (finance minister) Rishi Sunak has officially been installed as prime minister of the United Kingdom following the overthrow of Liz Truss, who has become the shortest-serving leader in British history after the establishment-wing of the Conservative Party ousted her over attempts to introduce supply-side market reforms and some small tax cuts.
With the ‘coronation‘ of Sunak, which came after a brief leadership contest among parliamentarians (without allowing voters, either in the wider Conservative party or the country at large to have a say), the UK can expect the very type of globalist government that the public believed they were freeing themselves from in the 2016 Brexit referendum.
For the 42-year-old, it has been a quick rise to power, after entering the House of Commons in 2015 and ascending to the top economic cabinet position of Chancellor under Boris Johnson in 2020. During his tenure as the top man at the Treasury, Sunak ushered in the highest tax burden placed on the British public in seven decades to supposedly pay down the enormous debt he accumulated by passing out checks to keep workers at home and businesses shut during the Chinese coronavirus crisis.
Sunak has the distinction of being so wealthy, with an estimated combined net worth of £730 million ($825 million) alongside his wife, that he will reportedly be the first inhabitant of Number 10 Downing Street to have a larger fortune than the reigning British monarch, leading to questions about his ability to empathise with the plight of the common man during the economic crisis, which he, in part, helped to create.
Indeed, Sunak appeared at the World Economic Forum’s Green Horizon Summit in 2020 to advocate for a “whole of economy transition” to “green energy” sources.
“The challenge of climate change is clear and it is urgent,” Sunak said. “We need to ensure a positive and fair transition to Net Zero and protect our environment.”
The connection to the WEF does not stop there, however, as the company founded by his father-in-law N. R. Narayana Murthy, Infosys, is a listed partner of the World Economic forum. Murthy also previously served as co-chairman for the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos in 2005.
Further confirming his intention to govern as a globalist PM, backer Tobias Ellwood MP hinted at Sunak ushering in the so-called Great Reset schemed up by WEF chairman Klaus Schwab.
“The free [market] experiment is over — it’s been a low point in our Party’s great history. The reset begins,” Ellwood wrote on Friday.
One of the key agenda points of Davos, to usher in a cashless society, has also been promoted by Sunak, who has been one of the leading figures pushing for the implementation of a central bank digital currency (CBDC), through which governments would be able to track every expenditure made by citizens, leading to concerns that Britain will follow the likes of Communist China in implementing a social credit score.
The Bank of England has even reportedly suggested that the central bank-controlled Bitcoin alternative could be “programmable,” allowing the government to determine how and what people spend their money on.
The globalist agenda of Sunak will also likely see the UK push forward with his desire to deepen trade ties with China, with him arguing last year that the UK should seek to expand its cooperation with the communist nation on “global issues like health, ageing, climate and biodiversity.”
Unsurprisingly, Infosys also has ties to the country, with the Indian tech giant owning two Chinese subsidiaries, Infosys Technologies (China) Co Limited and Infosys Technologies (Shanghai) Co Limited, which reportedly netted the company £134 million last year.
During the leadership contest over the summer to replace Boris Johnson, the Global Times, one of the chief foreign language propaganda outlets for the Chinese Communist Party all but endorsed Sunak, hailing him as the only candidate with a “pragmatic view of developing balanced ties with China.”
The worsening “economic collapse” of America is being done “by design,” Monica Crowley stated on Wednesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
“This is all by design,” Crowley remarked. “We are already in a technical recession, two straight quarters of negative growth.”
Democrats are manufacturing an economic catastrophe as a pretext for further centralization of power and control in the hands of government and aligned industries, Crowley assessed.
She said, “They are simply buying time, because they know things are going to get much worse. Again, it’s all intentional, because they need that period of time of really bad economic collapse in order to slam through their socialist agenda.”
Remember when then-candidate Donald Trump marked Cinco de Mayo by tweeting a photo of himself and a taco bowl?
First lady Jill Biden doesn’t seem to remember.
On Monday in San Antonio to the 2022 UnidosUS Annual Conference titled “Siempre Adelante: Our Quest for Equity,” Mrs. Biden reprised the Republican former president by using tacos to refer to Hispanic culture.
