Kim Jong Un To Visit Putin For Arms Deal Talks; Chinese Nationals Posing as Tourists to Access U.S. Military Bases...more

WSJ: Say, why are Chinese nationals trying to infiltrate military bases in the US?

The idea, according to one expert, is to use relatively valueless pawns in large numbers to overwhelm US security. If they get stopped, they use that scripted language to claim error, and potentially deal with trespassing charges. If enough of them get through, however, China’s intelligence service can start collecting some serious data on the layout, security, and purposes of each military installation and sensitive national-security site.

You know … like China got with its “weather balloon” as the current administration allowed it to pass over the US, unchallenged. Only in this case, their agents can see far more and likely have at least some training on what to look for once inside these facilities.

Report: Chinese Nationals Posing as Tourists to Access U.S. Military Bases

“They range from Chinese nationals found crossing into a U.S. missile range in New Mexico to what appeared to be scuba divers swimming in murky waters near a U.S. government rocket-launch site in Florida.”

Meeting Of 'Pariahs': Kim Jong Un To Visit Putin For Arms Deal Talks  Moscow is shrugging of recent accusations from the Biden administration that it is getting weapons from North Korea and its international 'pariah' leader Kim Jong Un. Instead, both countries are apparently set to forge greater defense ties, as the US government is now alleging Kim might soon travel to Russia to meet President Vladimir Putin for a potential major weapons deal.

The US National Security Council issued a statement Monday warning that such arms negotiations between Russia and North Korea are "actively advancing" - so clearly they are thumbing their noses at Washington in the face of threats.

While Millions Invade America, DHS Fights the Heat...Heatstroke is now the business of DHS, but border security isn’t.   The founding mission of DHS was not the vague one of “keeping Americans safe”, but fighting terrorism. The DHS May bulletin, the last one in months, mentioned mass shootings, while only vaguely referencing an Islamic terror attack in Times Square which it defined as “inspired by a variety of foreign terrorist content” while failing to mention other Islamic terror plots.

DHS not only abandoned that mission, it actively collaborates with the enemy, including holding meetings with CAIR: an unindicted co-conspirator in funding Islamic terrorists, even while it classifies pro-life mothers in rural America as dangerous “domestic extremists”.

Faced With Evolving Threats, U.S. Navy Struggles to Change   At no moment since World War II has the service faced a more urgent demand to embrace new technologies and weapons systems, given the rising threat from a now formidable Chinese military.

The Navy’s top brass talks frequently about the need to innovate to address the threat presented by China. The Defense Department’s own war games show that the Navy’s big-ship platforms are increasingly vulnerable to attack.

But the Navy, analysts and current and former officials say, remains lashed to political and economic forces that have produced jobs-driven procurement policies that yield powerful but cumbersome warships that may not be ideally suited for the mission it is facing.

Dreher: We Cannot Say We Weren’t Warned...It might seem overblown to call this appeals hearing the Trial of the Century. It’s not. The ability of people in every society of the West to speak freely about what they believe is true is on trial.

Don’t think for a second that this trial is merely about Christians and homosexuality. If the state can establish in law that truth is subordinate to ideology, then nobody is safe. Today it’s about a grandmotherly Javert tirelessly pursuing a Lutheran lawmaker and her bishop over blasphemy against LGBTs. And tomorrow?

What happens to scientists whose research findings violate LGBT activists’ orthodoxy? In the United States, transgender campaigners often make outrageous, scientifically insupportable claims—as is their right. If the Finnish state wins this hate speech trial, every scientist—indeed, every citizen—in Finland will know that to contradict publicly what transgender ideologues proclaim, however absurd, will be to put oneself at risk of prosecution.

The new age of agitprop...The mainstream media have abandoned the pursuit of objectivity and truth  The results for consumers have been disastrous. In the new media world, all news coverage is geared towards upholding pre-established narratives. Actual reporting has become exceedingly rare. A 2019 report from think-tank Rand revealed that journalism is steadily moving away from a fact-based model and toward one dominated by opinion. The result is what Rand described as ‘truth decay’. This reflects a disappointing turn within a media industry that once proudly opposed existing power structures.

Hospital Employee Leaks DEI Training Materials That Say Three Year-Olds Can be Transgender

A “horrified” hospital employee at Kaiser Permanente leaked a sex change training for diversity, equity and inclusion, which promoted the idea that a 3-year-old can be transgender.

“The employee, who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of losing her job, was horrified,” according to the Wednesday report from Libs of TikTok.

As part of the hospital system’s DEI training, medical employees were expected to watch a video with children explaining they knew they were transgender at age 3 and 4.
