‘Exactly Like History Repeating Itself’: North Korean Defector Yeonmi Park On ‘Candace’ Warns Americans
International | November 11, 2021
North Korean defector Yeonmi Park joined The Daily Wire’s Candace Owens for Tuesday night’s episode of “Candace,” where Park warned Americans about creeping authoritarianism in the United States and detailed some of the horrors she endured in North Korea.
North Koreans were promised socialism and “free” stuff, like health care, Park said, which led to devastating oppression. And it can happen here, the 28-year-old warned.
“I think this is exactly like history repeating itself, right now,” Park said. “This is what shocked me, for me as a North Korean, when they said there’s inequality in America, I was like, hallelujah, that means you can rise above somebody else, because there’s no inequality in North Korea, everybody is dirty poor.”
“Poverty” is the worst that can happen, not “inequality,” Park asserted… (Excerpts from the Daily Wire)

China upholding Iranian regime with oil purchases
District of Columbia, International | November 5, 2021
Chinese purchases of Iranian oil have steadily increased since President Biden arrived in office, with Beijing‘s blatant flouting of U.S. sanctions on the Islamic republic providing an economic lifeline to hard-liners in Tehran. The White House has come under increasing criticism for tolerating Beijing‘s purchases, which analysts say amount to indirect Chinese support for Iran‘s nuclear weapons program, as well as Tehran‘s militant posturing and rejections of U.S. and European attempts to restore the 2015 Obama-era nuclear deal. Talks on reviving the nuclear deal have stalled but will resume Nov. 29 in Vienna, European Union officials announced this week. It is unclear whether Washington and Tehran can move closer to resuscitating the agreement. Covert Chinese support for Iran‘s economy could make hard-line Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi even less motivated to negotiate… (Excerpts from the Washington Times)

Gen. Milley Says China Unlikely to Militarily Seize Taiwan in Near Future
International | November 5, 2021
China is unlikely to use military force to seize Taiwan in the near future, but the country’s communist regime does pose a serious threat not only to the self-ruled island, but also to the United States, Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on Nov. 3. “Based on my analysis of China, I don’t think that it is likely in the near future—being defined as six, 12, maybe 24 months, that kind of window,” he said in response to a question about it. Milley made the remarks while speaking at the Aspen Security Forum, an annual three-day security and foreign policy conference presented by the Washington-based Aspen Strategy Group….

Biden traveled in 85-car motorcade before attending climate summit
International | November 5, 2021
In Europe, he went first to Rome, where the staff was immense because everyone wants to see the pope, before heading to the COP26 summit in Glasgow. The president always travels with a sizable contingent of aides, military officials, and medical officials. But this time, his retinue was padded even further for his audience with Pope Francis – his fourth. While in Rome, an old city with many narrow roads, Biden’s motorcade was extended by Italian COVID-19 restrictions which limit passengers to four people per vehicle….

ZOA Joins Israeli Groups to Protest Opening U.S. Palestinian Consulate in Jerusalem
International | November 4, 2021
By Jerusalem Post Staff
(OCTOBER 29, 2021 / JERUSALEM POST) Organizations who oppose the Biden Administration’s intent to reopen a U.S. consulate for Palestinians in Jerusalem have formed a coalition that is organizing protests against the plan.
A coalition of organizations who oppose the Biden Administration’s intent to reopen a U.S. consulate for Palestinians in Jerusalem has formed and includes members of organizations such as The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), the Sovereignty Movement, Im Tirtzu and Regavim.
The new coalition is coordinating protest strategies and held a vigil in front of a U.S. facility on Agron Street in Jerusalem in protest of the plans, saying that the intention to open the consulate has led to outrage.
“Establishing an American consulate for the Palestinian Authority in Jerusalem is the de facto partition of the city and its transformation into the capital of Palestine,” said Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar from the Sovereignty Movement.
“Israeli society is a friend of the American people. This is not something that one does to friends,” said Im Tirtzu CEO Matan Peleg… (Excerpts from the Zionist Organization of America)
