Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” host Tucker Carlson questioned Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) for going along with the Democratic Party’s narrative on the January 6 incident on Capitol Hill and the future of the Republican Party. Carlson speculated Cheney’s decision was tied to downplaying her view on foreign policy. Transcript as follows: CARLSON: When you think of an authoritarian leader, you picture some power-mad autocrat, working fiercely defend his own regime. You think of Nicolae Ceausescu pacing his study, steady, plotting diabolical new ways to smash the latest peasant revolt. And that’s right, but it’s not the full picture. Reality is more complicated than that. Fascism is a style of government, but it’s also a form of religion. So the goal isn’t simply to make you obey, the goal is to convert you. Before he executed his political rivals, Stalin forced victims to profess their love for him and for the Soviet State. He staged a kind of religious … [Read more...] about FNC’s Carlson: Liz Cheney ‘Decided to Obey’ Democrats, Media Propagandists

CHICAGO (CBS) — Mayor Lori Lightfoot offered an apology, of sorts, after she was caught on a live microphone calling a Fraternal Order of Police vice president a “clown” during the public comment period of Wednesday’s City Council meeting. “I’m sorry that I said it out loud,” she said.

But in the middle of their huddle, Lightfoot’s comments were caught on an open microphone – and showed how tough and opinionated the mayor can be. Lightfoot ran a tight ship during the City Council meeting. She did not go easy on one speaker, who published reports said attended on behalf of 75 murdered South Side women and claimed those murders have never been investigated by police. “Don’t ever, ever tell me what to do when I’m … [Read more...] about Mayor Lori Lightfoot Calls FOP Vice President Pat Murray A ‘Clown’ At City Council Meeting; ‘I’m Sorry That I Said It Out Loud’
Founder Of Chinese Front Group Spoke At CIA Nominee’s Think Tank Amid Beijing Propaganda Push
William Burns, the nominee for CIA director, testified before the Senate about links between a think tank he leads and a Chinese foundation that serves as a front group for the communist party. Burns said that he cut ties with the group, the China-U.S. Exchange Foundation (CUSEF), “not long after” he took over as president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. But the founder of the foundation gave a pro-Beijing speech at a Carnegie event more than 14 months after Burns took over the think tank. CUSEF donated between $200,000 and $500,000 to Carnegie between 2015 and 2017. The founder of a front group for the Chinese Communist Party appeared at an event at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in May 2016, where he pushed a pro-Beijing argument regarding a decades-long stalemate over control of the South China Sea. The speech, by Tung Chee-hwa, the founding chairman of the China-U.S. Exchange Foundation (CUSEF), was held more than 14 months … [Read more...] about Founder Of Chinese Front Group Spoke At CIA Nominee’s Think Tank Amid Beijing Propaganda Push
CIA Nominee Says He Cut Ties With Chinese Propaganda Group As President Of Foreign Policy Think Tank
President Joe Biden’s nominee for CIA director spoke candidly on Wednesday about the Chinese government’s authoritarian bent, and its use of front groups to influence U.S. policy towards Beijing. William Burns also faced questions about his tenure at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, which had a relationship with one of the Chinese government front groups. Burns told the Senate Intelligence Committee that shortly after he took over at Carnegie in 2015, he severed ties with the China-U.S. Exchange Foundation due to “expansion of Chinese influence operations.” Despite the claim, Carnegie and the foundation maintained a relationship as late as 2017. William Burns, the nominee for CIA director, called the Chinese government a “formidable, authoritarian adversary” during his Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday, while facing questions about his tenure as president of a foreign policy think tank that received funding from a businessman and Chinese front … [Read more...] about CIA Nominee Says He Cut Ties With Chinese Propaganda Group As President Of Foreign Policy Think Tank
Golden Globes Organizer Will Add Black Members Following Backlash over Lack of Diversity
The organization behind the annual Golden Globes awards said it will add black members to its ranks following criticism that the group doesn’t have any black voters among its 87 current members. “We are fully committed to ensuring our membership is reflective of the communities around the world who love film, TV and the artists inspiring and educating them,” the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. (HFPA) said in a statement sent to multiple news outlets late Thursday. “We understand that we need to bring in Black [sic] members, as well as members from other underrepresented backgrounds, and we will immediately work to implement an action plan to achieve these goals as soon as possible.” A spokesperson for the HFPA said its membership is majority female and that 35 percent of its members are from non-European countries. The HFPA still hasn’t said if it will clean up its long-standing practices that have made the Golden Globes the butt of jokes for years. The organization continues … [Read more...] about Golden Globes Organizer Will Add Black Members Following Backlash over Lack of Diversity
