Illegal Alien Charged with Killing Man in Drunk Driving Crash on Mother’s Day

An illegal alien has been accused of killing a man during a drunk driving crash in Wichita, Kansas on Mother’s Day.

Alanso Garcia-Amaya, a 33-year-old illegal alien, was arrested and charged with driving under the influence involuntary manslaughter last week for allegedly killing 42-year-old Don Kirk in a drunk driving crash.

According to police, Garcia-Amaya was drunk driving when he crashed into an SUV. Kirk was pulled over on the side of the road and standing behind his vehicle in front of the SUV following a collision involving the two vehicles.

The crash pinned Kirk between the two vehicles, leaving him dead on the scene.

Now, the Angel Family is grieving the loss of their loved one.

“I just couldn’t believe it … he went out of his way for that. He’s so fun, loving, he’s happy. He’d give you anything, anything he had,” Kirk’s sister Marva Sinclair told KSNW.

Kirk’s aunt, Helen Armstrong, described Kirk as a “goofball” who loved to make his family and friends laugh.

“He was always sending me pictures and texting me all the time. I talked to him three or four times a day,” Armstrong said.

Garcia-Amaya has been...

The State Department has tossed merit out as a criterion for promotion within America’s diplomatic corps and replaced it with wokeness.

With a war in Ukraine and challenges to U.S. leadership around the world, there is no shortage of possibilities for skilled diplomats to pursue America’s interests abroad. So it is particularly disturbing that the Biden administration has just tossed merit out as a criteria for promotion within America’s diplomatic corps and replaced it with wokeness.

For decades, the State Department has chosen its diplomats through the Foreign Service Officer Test, a grueling gauntlet that begins with a challenging, objective, written exam. Now that is about to change in the name of wokeness and diversity bean-counting. The State Department has just announced that the assessment process will now judge the “whole candidate” instead, without requiring applicants to even pass the written exam. These “whole candidate” reviews have long been used to allow racial discrimination.

For ten years at the Hoover Institution, I worked closely with the late Secretary of State George Shultz, President Reagan’s foreign policy point man for the last six years of his administration. He told me many times about the importance that the professional staff played in accomplishing President Reagan’s foreign policy goals. While Shultz believed in a workforce that could govern over a diverse country, as the namesake for the George P. Shultz National Foreign Affairs Training Center, which is responsible for training our diplomats, he would be appalled that diversity has supplanted merit as a criteria for promotion within the diplomatic corps.

Why now? This is just the latest step taken by the racially obsessed Biden administration to ensure that the State Department is less “pale, male, and Yale” and more “diverse.” The diversity uber alles mantra of the woke State Department threatens America’s power and interests.

Diversity at Expense of Excellence

The first step in this process was the appointment of Ambassador Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley as the State Department’s political commissar for diversity and inclusion. In this position, which reports directly to secretary of State, Abercrombie-Winstanley weighs in on everything from who gets high-profile assignments to how the department recruits new officers. With race, as opposed to excellence, the new mantra for the State Department, it is inevitable that we will choose ever-more-mediocre and incompetent diplomats who check the required diversity boxes.

Report: Chinese Dictator Xi Jinping is Suffering From ‘Brain Aneurysm’

Chinese President Xi Jinping is reportedly suffering from a brain aneurysm as public rage builds against his repressive and draconian COVID policies.

The 68-year-old dictator is allegedly eschewing major surgery, preferring to be treated instead with traditional medicine. He suffered from the aneurysm toward the end of 2021, and his health is still in jeopardy.

Health issues are far from the only problem that Xi is facing. There is also a reported coup in the works because of the authoritarianism implemented by Xi in response to recent COVID flare-ups.

Richard McGregor, who authored The Party: The Secret World of China’s Communist Rulers, said that Xi is facing pushback from his opponents in the politburo like Premier Li Keqiang, who has bemoaned the “complicated and grave” economic situation in China caused by Xi’s lockdown policies.

“It is probably a stretch to say that Xi and Li are personally at loggerheads, but their statements do represent divergent views within the system on Covid and its impact,” McGregor said.

“China is reaching the point where the need for a genuine debate about whether the price being paid for further lockdowns is worth the...
