"We are determined to do all that we can to stem this flow of material that aids Russia in conducting this brutal and illegal war," Yellen said, warning that any companies aiding Moscow's war effort could face sanctions.
Yellen said she raised the issue during two days of meetings with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, expressing concern that equipment "helpful to Russia's military" was evading sanctions and getting to Moscow to aid its war against Ukraine.
"I stressed that companies must not provide material support to Russia's defense industrial sector and that they will face significant consequences if they do," Yellen told reporters at a news conference in San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 10 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Friday said the U.S. government had seen evidence that Chinese firms may be aiding in the flow of equipment to Russia's war effort despite Western sanctions, and said she had urged China to crack down.
Sadly, the Biden administration has yet to come out and publicly acknowledge Iran's role in Hamas's October 7 invasion of Israel, in which the terrorist group murdered over 1,400 Israelis and at least 31 Americans, and wounded over 4,500 Israelis. Hamas also abducted more than 240 people and took them back to Gaza, where they are being held as hostages.
“The entire Columbia administration has failed to take a strong stance condemning Hamas, an organization whose very charter plainly states its goal to annihilate the state of Israel and Jews worldwide,” Swieca continued. “With blatantly anti-Jewish student groups and professors allowed to operate with complete impunity, it sends a clear and distressing message that Jews are not just unwelcome, but also unsafe on campus.”
Jewish billionaire and philanthropist Henry Swieca has quit the board of Columbia University’s business school, citing the Ivy League school’s “moral cowardice” on anti-Jewish sentiment on campus.
Swieca slammed Columbia for allowing “pro-Hamas students” to march on campus and said he must make “a clear and principled stand regarding recent events.”
More whistleblowers have stepped forward to tell Congress that high-ranking FBI officials are targeting agents for their political beliefs and trying to force them out of the bureau, specifically going after former military members.
MAJOR UPDATE - November 8, 2023 Canary Mission can now confirm that Rashida Tlaib is connected to 6 Hamas-linked activists who all served as fundraiser co-hosts for her 2018 congressional campaign.
This update identifies 3 activists in addition to the 3 identified in an October 2023 report.
It’s nice that a prominent figure in the Washington media has finally made the connection that criminalizing political opposition isn’t so fun when it’s your opponent who inevitably takes power. But unfortunately for the Washington Post’s Ruth Marcus, aka Strega Nona, the realization comes a little too late.
Marcus wrote in earnest this week that it’s “time to be very, very afraid” of the likely possibility that Donald Trump manages to get reelected because it’s all but certain he would pursue “a justified tit-for-tat retaliation for supposed Biden-directed targeting of Trump.”
It’s like watching a 15-year-old boy find out that Santa isn’t real (or black). What took so long?
True, Trump and his political associates have made clear that MAGA Presidency Part 2 would, in large part, be a matter of settling scores and circumventing the fascistic bureaucratic opposition that Trump faced during his initial term in office. His administration would retain lawyers willing to argue novel legal theories as they pertain to the power of the executive branch. Why wouldn’t they?
Marcus also sensed an “irony” in that Trump is accusing Democrat prosecutors and Biden’s Justice Department of vindictive pursuit because “selective and vindictive prosecution is precisely what Trump and his allies are now plotting.”
And there’s no reason to believe Trump wouldn’t return all of the legal drama heaped on him by Democrats in kind. Why wouldn’t he?
Maybe it ends with Trump, but at least for now, gone are the days that Democrats get to sleep peacefully at night knowing that they can torment anyone and everyone who disagrees with them without consequence. They don’t get to escalate political conflict and then immediately call for a ceasefire.
In “The mindset of our anti-Semites” Victor Davis Hanson undertakes to critique each of the charges hurled at Israel — “Refugees,” “Apartheid,” “Disproportionate,” “Civilian casualties,” and “Genocide” — as it defends itself from mass slaughter. Each section could stand alone as a Thought of the Day. Here is his conclusion on “Genocide”:
In the wake of the devastating terrorist attack in Israel on Oct. 7, a magnifying glass is now being held up against the Biden administration’s destructive — and now deadly — concessions to Iran.
Iran, known for funding proxies from Venezuela to Yemen, has spent years calling America the “Great Satan” and telling the world it would like to wipe Israel off the map.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is pressing President Joe Biden to offer Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Palestinians living in the United States, ensuring they cannot be deported under most circumstances.
