A Chinese Communist Party-owned news outlet claims blaming China and other "developing countries" for not bringing peace to Ukraine is "not tenable," after the Ukraine Peace Summit held over the weekend…

The following article, Russia and North Korea Sign Mutual Defense Treaty: What It Means for World Security, was first published on Conservative Firing Line. When Trump was in office he kept North Korea at bay in many ways. By actively engaging with Kim Jong-Un, he got some concessions from the hermit kingdom that no one thought possible. When Biden was elected, all communication was cut off. They wouldn’t even answer Biden’s phone calls. Since then, NoKo has forged relationships … Continue reading Russia and North Korea Sign Mutual Defense Treaty: What It Means for World Security ...

(Natural News) After several videos plainly showing Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline went viral over the last week, the left is now pulling the ‘out of context’ thing, suggesting that they’re edited “cheap fakes” that are “done in bad faith,” and both NBC News and AP running ‘fact checks.’ (Article by Tyler Durden republished from ZeroHedge.com) “The Party told you to reject the evidence … Continue reading Your Lyin’ Eyes: Corporate Media Panics With ‘Fact Checks’ Over Biden’s Obvious Decline ...

The following article, Eight Signs That Extremists Are Taking Over Our Country, was first published on Conservative Firing Line. It is happening all around us.  Our nation is being radically transformed by people with extreme ideologies, and that should deeply alarm all of us.  According to Google, an extremist is “a person who holds extreme or fanatical political or religious views, especially one who resorts to or advocates extreme action”.  Sadly, that definition accurately … Continue reading Eight Signs That Extremists Are Taking Over Our Country ...

Given some of the laws being passed in the southern half of the country, it's easy to assume events like drag brunch would be met with disapproval. But Autherius Lawson has been bringing drag to the Mississippi Gulf Coast for years, even in the midst of other southern cities attempting to outright ban drag performances.Lawson performs as Lexis Redd D'Ville and has a thriving company, Lexis & Friends Entertainment. The queens are always booked and busy in a region of the country people wouldn't expect, that is, unless you're local. Lawson has been selling out his signature Drag Brunch since 2019 at White Pillars, an upscale restaurant in Biloxi, Mississippi. When D'Ville saunters to the middle of the dinning room there is no shortage of excited cheers. But the thing that likely keeps patrons coming back outside of the fabulous song choices and amazing costumes–is the laughter. If you have nothing else while at one of D'Ville's events, you'll have a good time. Since his first drag brunch across the street from the Biloxi beach, Lawson has expanded his operations to New Orleans, Louisiana, also hosting events in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, which is about an hour north of where he got his start. More drag queens have been added to his roster of entertainers, seemingly leaving Lawson with little time to sleep. The entrepreneur not only hosts drag brunches in two different states, but he also puts on traditional drag events at bars and other entertainment venues. On top of hosting his own events, Lawson is the show director for Sipps Bar in Gulfport, Mississippi and the New Orleans House of Blues. Lawson tells the Associated Press, "I will say that I have prided myself on taking the chances and kicking open the doors people would not have expected."But the Mississippi Gulf Coast is not only a tourist area but home to Keesler Air Force Base and a Naval Construction Battalion Center, creating a unique eclectic culture of its own. White Pillars is able to rake in profits from the partnership they have with Lawson, and Ms. D'Ville gets to show the Bible belt what drag is really about.

D'Ville's "friends" come from all over the Deep South, from Shreveport, Louisiana to Mobile, Alabama. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lexis Redd D'Ville NOLA DRAG QUEEN (@lexisdville) They pride themselves on making sure everybody has a good time, mixing up their themes, music and costumes. Some of the costume changes happen before your eyes leaving customers wondering if the drag queens might be a little magic. There's no telling what kind of crowd the queens might encounter: a granny with better knees than a 25 year old dancing with her bottomless mimosa above her head or a group of guy friends laughing after being personally serenaded.As Lawson's drag queen empire expands taking him to new cities, he still makes time to sell out shows at the White Pillars every third Sunday.

The Chinese aren’t exactly being subtle about what they are trying to do.  Today, they own more than 300,000 acres of farmland inside the United States, and they have been specifically targeting areas that are located near important military bases.  As you will see below, the Chinese now own farmland very close to 19 different U.S. military bases.  How in the world could our leaders have allowed this to happen?  Foreign adversaries should not be allowed to purchase farmland at all, and yet somehow they have been able to acquire land that is ideal for spying on our military bases over and over again.  In fact, the New York Post has “identified 19 bases across the US from Florida to Hawaii which are in close proximity to land bought up by Chinese entities”… China has been buying up strategically placed farmland next to military installations across the US, raising national security fears over potential espionage or even sabotage. The Post has identified 19 bases across the US from Florida to Hawaii which are in close proximity to land bought up by Chinese entities and could be exploited by spies working for the communist nation. When I read stuff like that, it makes me want to tear my hair out. Are the people that are in charge of our national security really this incompetent? According to the New York Post, the list includes some of our “most strategically important bases”… They include some of the military’s most strategically important bases: Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) in Fayetteville, North Carolina; Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood) in Killeen, Texas; Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California, and MacDill air force base in Tampa, Florida. We know that the Chinese are very interested in our military bases. Do you remember the Chinese spy balloon that was allowed to fly over our country? The path that it took allowed it to gather intelligence on Malmstrom Air Force Base, which is where some of our key nuclear assets are located. And the Wall Street Journal has reported that Chinese nationals have been caught accessing “military bases and other sensitive sites” inside the United States close to 100 times… Chinese nationals, sometimes posing as tourists, have accessed military bases and other sensitive sites in the U.S. as many as 100 times in recent years, according to U.S. officials, who describe the incidents as a potential espionage threat. The Defense Department, FBI and other agencies held a review last year to try to limit these incidents, which involve people whom officials have dubbed gate-crashers because of their attempts—either by accident or intentionally—to get onto U.S. military bases and other installations without proper authorization. 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. Look, everyone knows that the Chinese are trying to spy on us. That isn’t a big secret. Just don’t make it easy for them. At the same time all of this spying is going on, there has been an unprecedented surge in Chinese migrants coming across the southern border… US border officials said they detained 37,000 Chinese migrants attempting to cross the border in 2023, or 10 times the number detained in the year before. The true number of those attempting to cross the border is likely higher. The flow of Chinese migrants continued to surge in 2024, with CBS reporting in February that it observed 600 migrants, many of whom were Chinese, entering the US in a single day. The House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability said in May that the number of Chinese nationals encountered by authorities at the US border in March had jumped 8,000% from the same period in 2021. Most of the Chinese migrants that are coming across the southern border are men of military age, and they commonly travel to the border in groups. Suspiciously, these groups of military age Chinese men are often decked out in matching equipment. But they are let into the country anyway, because that is what our leaders have decided to do. So now we have tens of thousands of military age “Chinese migrants” that are running around inside our country, and we have no idea where they are or what they are doing. The Chinese are preparing to win a war, and we are preparing to lose one. At this point, everyone realizes that the Chinese are going to invade Taiwan eventually.  In fact, the Daily Mail ran a big story about the coming invasion this week… Xi Jinping views Taiwan as a breakaway Chinese province and has vowed to ‘reunify’ it with the mainland, by force if necessary. He is in the midst of a huge military buildup, regularly sending fighter jets and warships to harass Taiwan, and staging menacing war games in the area. When Taiwan is invaded, the U.S. military will be expected to intervene, and then we will be at war with China… Taiwan views itself as independent of Beijing and is allied to America – a legacy that stretches back to the Chinese Civil War 75 years ago. America supplies the islands with weapons and is expected to go to war to defend them if they are attacked. By most estimates, a war over Taiwan would be one of the biggest, bloodiest, and most expensive in history. Most people don’t realize this, but China and the Philippines are also on the verge of military conflict.  Recently, there was a very alarming clash in the South China Sea that resulted in one Filipino soldier losing a thumb… Filipino soldiers had to defend themselves with bare hands against Chinese coast guard armed with swords and knives, according to the Philippines. General Romeo Brawner, the Philippines’ top military commander, criticized China for what he described as “reckless and aggressive” behavior while the Philippines navy and coast guard were delivering supplies to Filipino soldiers in the disputed South China Sea on Monday. Chinese coast guard personnel rammed their vessels into boats belonging to the Philippines, and boarded and attacked them, the BBC reported Brawner as saying, leaving some injured and one soldier having lost a thumb. The Chinese have become extremely aggressive, and it is just a matter of time before we are at war with them. But even though many of our leaders publicly talk about the coming war, we are still allowing the Chinese to take advantage of us in unthinkable ways. We should have never allowed the Chinese to purchase large tracts of farmland near 19 of our most important military bases. Unfortunately, they are there now, and that will give them a major advantage when war finally erupts.
