Dianne Feinstein’s Ties To China Go Way Deeper Than An Alleged Office Spy By Ben Weingarten Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s warm relationship with and advocacy for Communist China go back decades and involve millions, if not billions, of dollars. --------------------------------------------------------------- “I sometimes say that in my last life maybe I was Chinese.”—Sen. Dianne Feinstein As media, intelligence agency, and political scrutiny of foreign meddling is seemingly at its apex, a story with big national security implications involving a high-ranking senator with access to America’s most sensitive intelligence information has been hiding in plain sight. [Full Article]( 2. The New York Times’ Hit Piece On Mike Pence Is Anti-Christian Bigotry, Plain And Simple By Glenn T. Stanton Vice President Mike Pence’s original and most damning sin is that he’s a Christian who actually believes what Christians actually believe. --------------------------------------------------------------- The New York Times’ Frank Bruni really upped his game this week. In an atrociously brutal piece, he called Vice President Mike Pence a “holy terror,” claiming he’s multiple degrees more sinister than President Trump, the otherwise most sinister person on the planet. Bruni actually warns the best case against impeaching Trump is the much greater danger of Pence. Think about that a moment though. For all the venom and apocalyptic hysteria being spewed at everything Trump has ever said, done or probably even thought — and there is plenty there of concern — there is someone even “worse” than this president. Bruni makes Chicken Little seem measured. [Full Article]( 3. Emails Reveal High School Teachers Plotting To Hide Their Political Bias From Parents By Ilya Feoktistov The Left is abusing American high school education in its struggle to gain and retain political power. We only found out about this incident by accident. How many more? --------------------------------------------------------------- Shortly after President Trump’s inauguration, a group of public school history teachers in the posh Boston suburb of Newton pledged to reject the “call for objectivity” in the classroom, bully conservative students for their beliefs, and serve as “liberal propagandist[s]” for the cause of social justice. This informal pact was made in an exchange of emails among history teachers at Newton North High School, part of a very rich but academically mediocre public school district with an annual budget of $200 million, a median home price of almost half a million, and a median household income of more than $120,000. Read the entire email exchange here. [Full Article]( 4. Four Things We Learned From The FBI’s Mostly Redacted Steele Documents By Margot Cleveland The FBI’s greedy use of exemptions left nearly all the significant details redacted. But we can still learn a few things from this non-transparent ‘disclosure.’ --------------------------------------------------------------- In a Friday afternoon news dump, the Federal Bureau of Investigation released 71 pages of documents related to the agency’s use of Christopher Steele as a confidential human source (CHS). Judicial Watch fought for more than a year to force the government to comply with its Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for documents related to the work the former British spy—and author of the salacious and unverified Steele dossier—did for the FBI since January 1, 2016. It is unlikely that Friday’s release will end the matter, however, given the FBI’s greedy use of FOIA exemptions left nearly all the significant details redacted. But while Judicial Watch (and Congress!) continue to battle for more information, several points merit mention based on the sparse details revealed. [Full Article]( 5. Dear LeBron: Democrats, Not Trump, Ran Cities Like Akron Into The Ground B yRich Logis LeBron James should have called out those who significantly contributed to the ills that have befallen the I Promise pupils he wants to help. That's not Donald Trump, it's Democrats. --------------------------------------------------------------- LeBron James marked the opening of his I Promise School last week with a display of his Social Justice Warrior side, lamenting on CNN that “we are going back to places of — some kind of slavery or Jim Crow and things of that nature.” News of the basketball megastar’s school opening in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, is certainly heartwarming. The school has an onsite food bank; provides bicycles to every student “to escape dangerous parts of town and explore,” according to its mission statement; and provides job placement assistance for parents. And it’s quite clear to me that this wasn’t solely a financial investment (I’d rather he get his tax write-off for this then send his money to the state or the feds).
