UK Councilor Warns: Some Afghan Evacuees Will Soon Be ‘Blowing Us Up’
Don’t worry. She retracted and apologized.
A recent incident in Britain highlights yet again how it is well-nigh impossible nowadays to have a coherent and honest public conversation about the nature and magnitude of the jihad terror threat. Any attempt to do so is drowned out by charges of “bigotry,” “racism,” and “Islamophobia,” such that we now have a generation of people who believe reflexively that any opposition to jihad violence and Sharia oppression is ipso facto “hateful,” and thus must not be given voice. Those who dare to break this rule will be duly punished. This was the recent experience of a British woman named Sheila Daly, a councillor at Kingshurst Parish Council in Birmingham. She stepped out of line, and raised unacceptable questions. She knows now not to do such a thing again.
According to the UK’s Metro, Daly, 78, uttered remarks at a Kingshurst Parish Council meeting that went beyond all the bounds of present-day acceptable discourse, straying far beyond woke boundaries. She committed her transgression at a meeting that was called “to discuss the new arrivals, many of whom were flown into the Birmingham area after leaving Kabul.”
Daly, Metro reported, “asked if council officials were prepared for the Afghans to begin ‘blowing us up’, a comment that drew audible gasps from others at the meeting.”
Audible gasps. In this face of this general horror over her words, Daly tried to explain: “she said she did not believe all the Afghans who had come to the UK had worked with British forces and spoke of her suspicion the Taliban would try to ‘smuggle people into the country to cause mayhem, blow us up, or do whatever.’” She “insisted she was not racist as she used to foster Asian children and said: ‘I would take a family in and look after them. But there are people in this country [whose] children have gone off to a war they didn’t want to fight in Afghanistan. They’ve been killed or maimed. And we’re inviting the same people into this country to have houses [and] jobs.’”
Why, how could Sheila Daly have dared to say such a bigoted, racist, “Islamophobic” thing? How could she have dared even think it? Maybe she was aware that, as the Daily Mail reported on September 10, “an Afghan rescued from Kabul by the RAF has been arrested as a suspected Taliban terrorist in Manchester.” And that...
In Breach of Norms, Biden Fires Trump Appointees From Government Panels
Joe Biden recently purged his predecessor’s appointees from government boards and commissions, in what critics call an unprecedented break with tradition.
Appointees named by Donald Trump while he was president, among them former senior presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway and former White House press secretary Sean Spicer, were told bluntly by letter to resign or be terminated within a day.
Luke Rosiak, an investigative reporter for The Daily Wire, has extensively covered both the firings and the consequences of Biden’s actions.
“There are really serious problems that can happen when our long-term institutions, which are kind of designed to keep our country stable over the course of many decades, become beholden to a White House [administration] that may only be in office for four years,” Rosiak says.
Besides advisory boards for the various military academies, the Trump appointees targeted by Biden include the Equal Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Arctic Research Commission, and the National Board for Education Sciences, Rosiak reported.
Normally, members of such panels carry over for the remainder of their terms when a...
China's Vast New Nuclear Build-Up When "China is 'Untouchable' in Terms of Military Power"
"There's been a lot of speculation out there as to why they are doing all of this. I just want to say right now, it really doesn't matter why... What matters is they are building the capability to execute any plausible nuclear employment strategy — the last brick in the wall of a military capable of coercion." — Admiral Charles Richard, August 12, 2021.
While China's official nuclear policy is that of "minimum deterrence" and a "no-first-use policy", there is no reason why the international community should trust such officially communicated doctrines. China continues to strengthen its military space capabilities, despite its public stance against the weaponization of space. China is widely known for breaking its pledges, as evidenced by, among other things, its militarization of artificial islands in the South China Sea, or its crackdown on Hong Kong in contravention of the UN registered treaty on the territory.
"Americans should know as clearly as the Chinese do about what level of nuclear power China really needs to build. It would be a nuclear force strong enough to make the US -- from the military to the government – fear...." — Asia Times, quoting Global Times, May 11, 2020.
"Their [CCP's] actions have long belied a posture more aggressive than their official policy — you've got to look at what they do, not what they say." — Admiral Charles Richard, August 12, 2021.
China is significantly increasing its nuclear weapons capabilities. Several recent reports show that China is constructing 120 missile silos for intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) near Yumen in Gansu, up to 110 silos near Hami in the eastern part of the Xinjian region and up to 40 silos in Ordos in Inner Mongolia. ICBMs are defined as missiles with a minimum range of 5,500 kilometers, and primarily designed for nuclear weapons delivery.
"The silo construction at Yumen and Hami constitutes the most significant expansion of the Chinese nuclear arsenal ever," according to Matt Korda and Hans Kristensen, in a report on the Hami field for the Federation of American Scientists. "All told... discoveries indicate that China might be constructing nearly 300 new missile silos," they wrote in September:
Joe Biden Plans Bringing 10 Times as Many Refugees to U.S. Next Year
Joe Biden is planning to bring to the United States in Fiscal Year 2022 about 10 times as many refugees as he will have brought this year, the State Department confirmed on Monday.
In May, Biden announced he would raise the refugee resettlement cap to 62,500 refugees for Fiscal Year 2021 — more than four times the cap that former President Trump imposed for the year at about 15,000 refugees.
For Fiscal Year 2022, which begins October 1, Biden will set the cap at 125,000 refugees who can be resettled across the U.S. over the subsequent 12 months, a State Department notice to Congress confirmed. The data projects that the Biden administration will have brought about 12,500 refugees to the U.S. by the end of Fiscal Year 2021.
The cap is merely a numerical limit and not a goal for the State Department to reach.

Specifically, the State Department will allocate the most refugee spots for Africans and foreign nationals from East and South Asia. About 10,000 spots will go to Europeans and foreign nationals in Central Asia, while 15,000 spots will be allocated to Latin Americans and those in the Caribbean.
In addition to increasing refugee resettlement, Biden rescinded an order that allowed states and localities to decide whether they wanted refugee resettlement in their communities. The order, signed by Trump, gave Americans veto power over the...

INVESTIGATION: U.S. Has Funded Over 250 Studies for Chinese Communist Military Researchers.
U.S. taxpayers have been footing the bill for Chinese military-linked studies for over a decade, a National Pulse investigation has revealed.
Various National Institutes of Health agencies – including Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases – have funded over 250 studies authored by researchers at institutions controlled by China’s People’s Liberation Army, The National Pulse can exclusively reveal.
Following a unique investigation into the origins of scientific research papers, the whopping level of collaboration with the Chinese military will further concerns in the United States that the political class has surrendered to the Chinese Communist Party. Last week it emerged that the ranking General in the U.S. Armed Forces agreed to tip off China in advance of a U.S.-led attack.
The unearthed studies, from the National Institutes (NIH) online database, expand upon the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology unearthed by The National Pulse.
U.S. Taxpayers Funding the People’s Liberation Army.
Of 265 studies identified by The National Pulse, the Chinese military entity most frequently appearing on studies funded by the NIH is the Beijing-based PLA General Hospital, a subsidiary of the army’s Joint Logistics Support Force of the Central Military Commission.
A now-deleted informational site about the facility notes it is “the largest comprehensive hospital in the whole army” that is “responsible for the medical and health care tasks of the leaders of the state and the military commission.”
A study – “Kras-Deficient T Cells Attenuate Graft-versus-Host Disease but Retain Graft-versus-Leukemia Activity” – has two researchers from the PLA General Hospital named as authors while noting “this work was supported in part by National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of...
