My head is spinning.
Followed by a Children’s Multicultural Fair…yea, how about no.
Now the victims of genocide are being accused of genocide???
Money laundering while they still can
Horrible!
That is so sad and senseless, if ever there is a justification for defending innocent third parties, that is it.
Absolutely, outrageous!
The torture of death by a thousand cuts would be too kind for this perpetrator.
We have fallen so far…
While reading the story I was not at all surprised at the event itself. Rather, what surprised me is that it was reported that bond was set before he was in custody.
I can only speculate as to the motive.
Possibly domestic violence abuse as background to why this couple was estranged.
She was with another male, companion?
Ex likely highly jealous and resentful, maybe of the stinking thinking idea that if he could not have her, nobody could. That type of idiot.
Some idiots cannot let go, and just move on.
They stay fixated / obsessed not accepting a lost relationship might be their own fault projecting that blame on the other person.
It’s no wonder that histories of domestic violence, stalking, orders of protection against them are considered prohibited persons from owning, or possessing firearms.
At least any part of that bundle are reasons among those that Prohibit them in Tennessee, and likely elsewhere.
Abbott issues executive order to arrest CCP operatives in Texas
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
(The Center Square) – Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order “to protect Texans from the coordinated harassment and coercion by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) or the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).”
The order directs the Texas Department of Public Safety to target and arrest anyone implementing CCP influence operations like “Operation Fox Hunt,” an initiative of the PRC to forcibly return people to China it’s identified as so-called dissidents living in the U.S.
“The Chinese Communist Party has engaged in a worldwide harassment campaign against Chinese dissidents in attempts to forcibly return them to China,” Abbott said. “Texas will not tolerate the harassment or coercion of the more than 250,000 individuals of Chinese descent who legally call Texas home by the Chinese Communist Party or its heinous proxies.”
Abbott issued the order ahead of the legislature convening in January to consider bills related to national security and China. This is after in the last legislative session he said he would sign a bill banning foreign nationals from countries, including the PRC, that pose national security threats to the U.S. from purchasing land in Texas. The bill was blocked by a Republican state House committee chair after the CCP spearheaded a campaign against it, The Center Square reported.
He also issued the order after the FBI criminally charging CCP-linked individuals who were allegedly involved in Operation Fox Hunt to “harass, stalk, and coerce U.S. residents” to return to the PRC. Those targeted “are often ‘guilty’ of nothing more than opposing the PRC government or CCP actions, including by exposing corruption,” the order states.
More recently, in 2023, the FBI brought charges against 44 Chinese nationals allegedly operating illegal PRC police stations in New York City. The FBI action stemmed from a nonprofit report identifying 102 overseas “police service stations” operating in 53 countries, including in Houston, The Center Square reported.
Operation Fox Hunt was launched in 2014 to target Chinese nationals living outside of China, according to the FBI.
In 2016, Xinhua News reported a “total of 1,032 fugitives … returned to China from over 70 countries and regions” through Fox Hunt. In 2017, Xinhua reported CCP operatives had “caught 3,317 fugitives from over 120 countries and regions” in the five previous years. The CCP’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) in 2017 also identified 22 people on its “most wanted list,” 10 of whom were living in the U.S.
In 2019, the CCP launched roughly 555,000 domestic corruption cases in 11 months, according to CCDI and CCP National Supervisory Commission data. Among them, disciplinary measures were taken against 485,000 people; 19,000 were criminally investigated, according to the data.
In a July 2020 speech to the Hudson Institute, FBI Director Christopher Wray described numerous ways that the CCP created a national security threat, including targeting hundreds of U.S. citizens or green card holders through Fox Hunt. The CCP “wants to force them to return to China” using “shocking” tactics, he said.
“China describes Fox Hunt as an international anti-corruption campaign – it’s not,” Wray sai. “Instead, Fox Hunt is a sweeping bid by General Secretary Xi to target Chinese nationals whom he sees as threats and who live outside China … political rivals, dissidents, and critics seeking to expose China’s extensive human rights violations.”
One way they do this, he explained, is to send an emissary to the target’s family in the U.S. to convey a message. “The target had two options: return to China promptly or commit suicide,” he said. “And what happens when Fox Hunt targets refuse to return to China? In the past, their family members both here in the United States and in China have been threatened and coerced; and those back in China have even been arrested for leverage.”
Abbott’s order instructs DPS to partner with local and federal law enforcement officials to identify and charge “individuals suspected of crimes related to exploiting dissidents on behalf of any foreign government.”
It also charges DPS with investigating and documenting individuals suspected of planning, attempting, or carrying out acts of repression, develop training programs that can be used to identify and report such threats, and provide policy recommendations by January 15, 2025, on how to counter such threats.
DPS was also tasked with introducing a hotline and updating the state’s iWatch Texas Community Reporting System to allow Texans to directly report any “suspicious acts of oppression or coercion by PRC or CCP actors, or other foreign adversaries against Texans.”
Texans are encouraged to report suspicious activity at iwatchtx.org, through the iWatchTexas mobile app, or by calling 844-643-2251. Reports can be anonymous.

Opinion | The U.N’s Anti-Israel ‘Genocide’ Purge
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The United Nations long ago lost credibility as a moral arbiter, but its assault on Israel is hitting a new low. On Wednesday the U.N. will refuse to renew the contract of Alice Wairimu Nderitu, the Kenyan who is the Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide.
Ms. Nderitu is an accomplished mediator, whose U.N. bio describes her as a “recognized voice in the field of peacebuilding and violence prevention.” She has served in that role since 2020 and her tenure has been marked by careful study of humanity’s worst crime. She is being dismissed because she has stood firm in her belief that Israel’s war with Hamas isn’t genocide.
In 2022 her office issued a guidance paper on “when to refer to a situation as ‘genocide.’” The paper noted U.N. officials should “adhere to the correct usage” of the term because of the political and legal sensitivities that surround it and “its frequent misuse in referring to large scale, grave crimes committed against particular populations.”
Her paper explains that the term “genocide” was coined in 1944 by Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin to describe massacres of entire ethnic groups with the intention of eliminating them. That definition, Ms. Nderitu has said, includes the Holocaust, the Hutus’ genocide of the Tutsis in Rwanda, the Serbian slaughter of Bosnian Muslims, and may include the ethnic killings now unfolding in Sudan.
As a legal matter, establishing a pattern of violence as a genocide requires demonstrating intent. Israel’s campaign of self-defense doesn’t qualify. The war against Hamas has had many deaths, but Israel’s strategy is intended to dismantle a terrorist regime, not eliminate an ethnic group. The Jewish state has gone to great lengths to minimize Palestinian civilian casualties, even as Hamas uses civilians as shields so their deaths can be used as propaganda.
That’s not what the anti-Israel cabal at the U.N. want to hear. On Nov. 14 the U.N. Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices issued a report supporting accusations of genocide. The report announced it had found “serious concerns of breaches of international humanitarian and human rights laws” and “the possibility of genocide in Gaza and an apartheid system in the West Bank.”
The committee is taking its cues from Austrian Volker Turk, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, who has spent the past year assailing Israel. His claims are often echoed by U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Israel’s critics. The committee is comprised of member states Malaysia, Senegal and Sri Lanka. Senegal and Malaysia are majority Muslim nations with a history of hostility to Israel.
Ms. Nderitu serves at the pleasure of Mr. Gutterres, and Mr. Turk and the anti-Israel faction want her out. A U.N. spokesman sent us a statement that “Alice Nderitu is leaving the U.N. as her contract is expiring.” It added that “genocide is strictly defined in international law and any legal determination” is made by “appropriate judicial bodies.”
Yet the Secretary-General has the authority to extend Ms. Nderitu’s contract, and U.N. contracts are often renewed when their terms expire. Ms. Nderitu’s removal is a political choice.
Beyond Ms. Nderitu’s fate, the damage here includes defining genocide down. The word has become a weapon of political propaganda that will erode’s its moral authority when it’s needed to describe genuine horrors.
Ms. Nderitu may be out, but her refusal to endorse a lie in service of a political agenda has been a profile in courage. Can anyone with integrity survive at the U.N.?
She’s pretty sharp IMHO and can’t be bullied.
I don’t like this at all. Between buying Vista (Federal, CCI and more) and the brands they already own, nearly all domestic ammo production is now under foreign control. I still can’t believe we let this happen, as a country.
