Iranian drones deployed by Russia contain up to 82% of US manufactured components

Joe Biden has launched a task force to investigate how US and western components are ending up in Iranian-made drones being used to wreak havoc in Ukraine.

Despite strict export controls in place to prevent Iran from obtaining such materials, evidence has emerged that Tehran is finding more than enough commercially-available tech – including US-made microelectronics – to manufacture the drones.

UK-based investigative organization Conflict Armament Research found last month that, upon examining drones downed in Ukraine, 82 percent of their components were made by companies in the United States.

China’s Deal with Saudi Arabia is a Disaster for Biden

Nothing better illustrates the utter ineptitude of the Biden administration’s dealings with the Middle East than Saudi Arabia’s decision to forge a strategic alliance with China.

This is a time when Washington should be working overtime to strengthen its ties with long-standing allies like the Saudis to combat the mounting threat Iran poses to the region’s security.

Apart from the deeply alarming progress the ayatollahs are said to be making with their efforts to produce nuclear weapons.

Liberal attacks on our freedom catching eye of Americans

Tulsi Gabbard is an Army Reserve officer who served in Congress from 2013 to 2021. She was the first Hindu member of Congress and also the first Samoan American voting member of Congress. She ran for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020, before becoming an independent.

Gabbard said “we have the autocratic leader in Canada who’s resorted to genuinely authoritarian and tyrannical means to suppress a peaceful mass protest against the power elite there.

Millions in Hundred Dollar Bills Flown to the Taliban for “Humanitarian Aid”

As the Taliban were taking over Afghanistan, I predicted that Biden would fund the Taliban using “humanitarian aid” as a pretext. Since then, Biden has provided $1.1 billion in Afghan aid.

Despite assurances that the money would not go to the terrorists, the Biden administration issued global licenses authorizing financial transactions with the Taliban and the Al Qaeda allied Haqqani Network that include the “delivery and provision of humanitarian aid”.

Jews in Belgium, Jews in America – things have changed

I Recently came across a fascinating book, “Before It’s Too Late – A Love Letter to my daughters and America” by Eric Rozenberg, a Belgian Jew who moved to the United States with his wife and children largely due to increased antisemitism.

His heartfelt, deeply personal book tells the history – in very personal terms – of antisemitism in Europe, and events his family felt and witnessed in Belgium. He then describes his current day fears in the United States – from BDS and college campuses to antisemitism from all sides of the political spectrum.

This book seems ominious in its release date given the rise in antisemitism in the US of late.

Are Liberal Jewish groups really that crazy?

The “big red wave” never did materialize, but this much did happen – Republicans did win the House, prompting alarm among Liberals.

What it means, then, is that they don’t control EVERYTHING. The Senate, the White House, the schools, the Arts, entertainment, the media, all that and more belong to them.

But not the House of Representatives – so no wonder it’s got them frantic. To them, life is so unfair if they don’t get EVERYTHING they WANT.

It’s bad enough that far-left extremist groups such as the ADL are anti-white racists but to observers this is Jewicidal Madness.

It’s not the first time supporters of Israel have watched in bewilderment as the Kumbaya Kool-Aid drinkers have drunkenly engaged in Interfaith lunacy.

Raise a voice against the despicable Omar and you’ll be called a racist Islamophobe.

Psst … This may in part explain the silence in the face of growing anti-Semitism you’ve noted. People have grown alienated and confused.

Uncle Sam’s open secret — American men are leaving the workforce in increasing numbers

In 2016, the American Enterprise Institute labour economist Nicholas Eberstadt published an important book called “Men Without Work.” Eberstadt’s book was basically about the evolution of the labour force participation rate among working-age males in the United States. In the years after the big war, close to 90 per cent of all American men were, at any given time, working or looking for work. At the time “Men Without Work” was published, the figure was more like 72 per cent. This week, with that number thrashing to keep its nose above 70 per cent, I learned that Eberstadt has published a “post-pandemic edition” of his volume with a new discussion of the problem.

Can America fix its border problem?

They face sub-zero cold and the menace of gangs, but in Texas migrants are gathering in anticipation of a law change

The first night of Jorge’s new life in the United States was also the coldest he had known in his 47 years.

As temperatures dropped below freezing, he was among the oldest of a group of 30 men and women preparing to bunk down in the open air in bundles of blankets handed out by wellwishers near the locked Greyhound bus station in the Texas border city of El Paso.

Twittergate deepens: FBI REFUSES to reveal how many social media firms it is secretly influencing – amid accusations it broke the law by pushing Twitter to remove accounts and hand over user location details, new trove reveals

The FBI has refused to say how many social media companies it works with, defending their actions after it emerged that agents from the bureau regularly met with Twitter executives and handed over lists of accounts they found questionable.

Officials from the bureau even asked for Twitter to hand over the locations from where the Twitter accounts were being operated, in a disturbing move that many saw as an attack on the First Amendment.

One user targeted by the FBI, who goes by @Lexitollah, said: ‘Seems like prima facie 1A violation.’

I would not be surprised to find worse has gone on in Canada.

Thousands of unedited government JFK assassination files released

The White House has ordered the release of documents on the murder of US President John F Kennedy, but said some files will stay sealed.

Some 12,879 documents were posted online on Thursday after President Joe Biden issued an executive order authorising their disclosure.

A 1992 law required the government to release all documents on the 1963 assassination by October 2017.

The death of the US president spawned decades of conspiracy theories.

Three Men Sentenced to Prison for Aiding Plot to Kidnap Michigan Governor

Three men convicted of playing supporting roles in a foiled plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan in 2020 were sentenced to multiple years in prison on Thursday, as two of the conspiracy’s ringleaders await sentencing before the end of the month.

The three men – Joseph Morrison, 28, his father-in-law Pete Musico, 44, and Paul Bellar, 23 – were sentenced in Jackson County Circuit Court, where they were convicted by a jury in October on charges of gang membership, firearm violations and providing material support for terrorism.

4 Startling Ways China Is Challenging the U.S.

The threats to American power are both subtle and extraordinary.

Tensions between Beijing and Washington have been steadily increasing for years. Some of the competition has been plain to see: New Chinese aircraft carriers, fifth-generation fighter planes and airstrips in the South China Sea that are facing off against U.S. megabases in places like Guam and deepening military partnerships with Australia and Taiwan.

But other aspects of China’s quest for power are much more subtle. Beijing is also playing a quieter game, using non-military means to propel its push for influence and dominance across the Indo-Pacific and beyond.
