During an impassioned segment on MSNBC, Donny Deutsch slammed Hollywood and corporate America for their silence amid Hamas’ deadly attacks on Israel. “I don’t understand the silence from Hollywood. I don’t understand the silence from corporate America. I don’t understand the silence from the academics. And I don’t understand the silence from so many politicians,” Deutsch said, speaking with anchor Nicolle Wallace. Deutsch, who is Jewish, was previously a host on MSNBC and CNBC. The television personality and political analyst now hosts the podcast “On Brand With Donny Deutsch.” “There is not context here. This is about the slaughtering of...

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) on Thursday announced it will investigate the death of Wei Hu, a 57-year-old Chinese dissident who ostensibly committed suicide in July 2021. More than two years later, the RCMP is digging into the case because it has new evidence that the Chinese government targeted Hu for harassment, possibly driving him to suicide. The case has obvious political resonance because Canada is embroiled in a rapidly escalating diplomatic confrontation with India over the murder of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly accused the Indian government of complicity in Nijjar’s assassination...

"Let your conscience rest easy, knowing that the entire slave camp is one hundred percent carbon-neutral," said CEO Tim Cook. "Not an ounce of carbon will escape those camps - much like the child slaves working there." Loud cheers broke out across the auditorium, the audience rising to its feet to give a standing ovation.

Republican Sens. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Marco Rubio of Florida are teaming up to push the Biden administration to review the planned acquisition of Forbes magazine. The pair sent a letter Wednesday to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warning her that the planned buyout involves entities tied to Russia and the Chinese Communist Party, which previously tried to purchase the outlet. "Forbes reportedly holds a significant market share among younger Americans, with tens of millions of monthly users," the lawmakers wrote. "This puts Forbes in a unique position to collect and store sensitive personal data on these populations and influence...

Some of the most prominent venues in New York City have recently hosted as an honored guest a Chinese official who praised China's ruling Communist Party as "great" and dismissed reports of systematic persecution against minorities inside China as "lies." Huang Ping, who's been the consul general of China's New York Consulate since 2018, has over the past week made appearances at Barclays Center, the Nasdaq MarketSite, and the Empire State Building, rubbing elbows with prominent American business leaders at each stop. The NBA's Brooklyn Nets, which play at Barclays in Brooklyn, celebrated the Chinese New Year of the Rabbit...

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who is running for president, is being criticized for botching the answer to a question about Uyghurs, an ethnic group being targeted with alleged human rights abuses in China. Podcast host Hugh Hewitt asked Suarez if he'd be talking about the Uyghurs in his campaign, to which the candidate replied: "What's a Uyghur?"

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that China imprisoning innocent Uyghur Muslims in internment camps is not as bad as the United States “putting a lot more black people in jail here.” While discussing a Wall Street Journal/NORC poll finding 38 percent consider patriotism “very important,” which is a 70 percent drop from 1998, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “If America is not the number one global power, it’s not going to be Denmark, it’s going to be communist China, a country that right now the government is imprisoning Uyghur Muslims in concentration...

Former NBA player turned activist Enes Freedom has called out Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai for allegedly supporting the Uyghur genocide in China. Freedom called Tsai a hypocrite after he called out his star guard Kyrie Irving for helping promote an antisemitic film on social media. Replying to Tsai's post about Irving on Twitter, Freedom praised the Nets owner for calling out his player. However, he also called Tsai a hypocrite because of his support for China's alleged human rights violations against the Uyghur people. "I applaud you for condemning Kyrie Irving after multiple antisemitic incidents," Freedom wrote. "It's time...

Beijing -- As world leaders gather in New York at the annual UN General Assembly, rising superpower China is also focusing on another United Nations body that is meeting across the Atlantic Ocean in Geneva. Chinese diplomats are speaking out and lobbying others at an ongoing session of the Human Rights Council to thwart a possible call for further scrutiny of what it calls its anti-extremism campaign in Xinjiang, following a UN report on abuses against Uyghurs and other largely Muslim ethnic groups in the western China border region. The concurrent meetings, on opposite sides of the Atlantic, illustrate China's...

China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi made an unannounced surprise visit to Afghanistan Thursday, where he held talks in Kabul with Acting Deputy Prime Minister of the Afghan Interim Government Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar and Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi. The visit comes seven months after the U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan, leaving behind a power vacuum that China is waiting to fill. China is especially interested in Afghanistan’s mineral wealth, which includes gold, precious stones, coal, oil and gas, lithium, copper and rare-earth minerals. China is not the only power taking advantage of the power vacuum that the U.S. withdrawal...

One of the reasons Hitler's military success was so short lived was because he took on too many enemies. If he had not attacked Russia, his brand of evil would have been much harder to beat in Western Europe. If The West thinks it is invincible and can keep the peace everywhere and win wars, then the West is hastening its decline instead of preserving what its got. Putin is leading a rechristianising Russia. The Muslim countries where Western treasure and lives have been wasted in unwinnable wars, are profoundly devoted to their way of worshipping God. The PRC is...

The eery similarities between the globalist rhetoric of Pope Francis and China’s Xi JinpingOn examination, the leaders of the famously brutal communist regime in China and of the Catholic Church speak for one another regarding international affairs. Tue Feb 15, 2022 - 1:31 pm EST (LifeSiteNews) – Against the backdrop of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, which has seen athletes complaining of abject conditions and images that show the heavily industrialized Beijing juxtaposed against synthetic snowscapes, the world watches an influential leader publicly support dreams of global human fraternity and the flourishing of mankind, all the while ruling those under...

The world knew Xi Jinping and the People's Republic of China would use the 2022 Olympic Winter Games for propaganda purposes; that was expected. All countries hosting the games use the opening ceremony to put their best foot forward. However, even the most jaded China skeptics were taken by surprise when a Uyghur athlete marched out carrying the PRC's flag during the opening ceremony. One can only wonder if cross-country skier Dinigeer Yilamujiang was forced to carry the flag or if she is the worst turncoat since Benedict Arnold. The level of hypocrisy, deceit and hubris Xi demonstrated in having...

An update on Dinigeer Yilamujiang, plus an honest assessment on the state of Chinese ice hockey in this special edition of the China Sports Insider Podcast.It's possible, of course, that others have been selected above her on form/merit, but we're told she was chosen as a torch bearer because of her "achievements", so something doesn't add up… https://t.co/EBrrKQ1dWb — Mark Dreyer (@DreyerChina) February 12, 2022 In today’s special edition of the China Sports Insider Podcast, hosts Mark Dreyer and Haig Balian begin by discussing Yilamujiang (also known as Dilnigar Ilhamjan), the 20-year-old ethnic Uyghur from Xinjiang who was thrust from...

I am an Investment Adviser and the last half of this video is MUST WATCHING, as he takes to task the smug CNBC interviewer Scott Wapner.

Chamath Palihapitiya, a part-owner and director of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors and the venture capitalist founder and CEO of Social Capital, offered the "very hard ugly truth" about China’s human rights abuses against Uyghur Muslims in a podcast interview. Palihapitiya appeared on the "All-In Podcast" on Saturday. He made his remarks about Uyghur Muslims after his co-host Jason Calacanis praised President Biden for his decision to ban the import of goods made through forced Uyghur labor. "Nobody cares about what’s happening to the Uyghurs, OK? You bring it up because you really care and I think it’s nice that...

The Golden State Warriors issued a statement regarding owner Chamath Palihapitiya’s controversial comments on Uyghur genocide in China. “Let’s be honest, nobody cares about what’s happening to the Uyghurs. You bring it up because you care and I think it’s nice that you care. The rest of us don’t care,” Palihapitiya said Saturday on a podcast that he co-hosts called “All In.” “I’m telling you a very hard, ugly truth. Of all the things that I care about, it is below my line.” “I think that human rights in the United States is way more important to me than human...

The Golden State Warriors tried to quickly distance themselves from tech billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya’s incendiary remarks about the Uyghur genocide, but the team has been slammed for a “cowardly” response that critics say shows their fear of upsetting the Chinese government. But the team has since been called out for not being more forceful in denouncing Palihapitiya’s remarks. The U.S. government has declared that the Chinese government has committed genocide against the Uyghurs, a mostly Muslim minority group that is native to the northwest Xinjiang region, the Washington Post reported. Scholars estimate that more than 1 million Uyghurs have been...
