Amtrak Begins to Restore Service After Server Issues Force Cancellations

Amtrak is restoring service after a slew of train cancellations, primarily in the Midwest due to “a rail-industry control system that continues to experience intermittent communications issues,” according to Amtrak spokesperson W. Kyle Anderson.

The industry control system is used to connect to other railroads, Anderson said. Amtrak trains can operate on freight rail lines, so the trains have to connect to freight railroads to begin their journey—that communication was down.

The system issues began early Friday morning, Amtrak said.

On Friday, Amtrak began posting on Twitter that several trains—many in and out of Chicago—had been canceled. Amtrak’s alert feed on Twitter was still announcing cancellations Sunday morning.

Netanyahu slams Trump’s ‘horrible’ dinner with Kanye West, Nick Fuentes as a ‘big mistake’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has branded Donald Trump’s dinner with anti-Semitic rapper Kanye West and white supremacist Nick Fuentes as “horrible” in a stinging new attack on the former president.

In an exclusive interview with me while mass protests continue in his home country over his controversial move to control judicial power, Netanyahu said of the secret meal at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago mansion in Florida last fall: “I thought it was horrible. I think it’s a big mistake. It’s wrong from every point of view. It [anti-semitism] should not be countenanced, it should not be accepted, it should be rebuked and condemned and that’s what I do. And I don’t care where it comes from, or from whom.”

His comments come after Trump attacked HIM for tweeting his congratulations to Joe Biden about his 2020 election win, branding it disloyal, and seething: “The first person that congratulated [Biden] was Bibi Netanyahu, the man that I did more for than any other person I dealt with. … Bibi could have stayed quiet. He made a terrible mistake. I haven’t spoken to him since. F—k him.”

But Netanyahu also revealed that Trump made peace with him after he recently won back the premiership in Israel’s election.

“He wrote me a note,” he said. “He congratulated on my victory.”

Netanyahu once described Trump as the greatest friend Israel’s ever had in the White House and he said: “That’s true because he did some very good things. He moved the embassy to Jerusalem, recognized Jerusalem as our capital. Recognized our sovereignty in the Golan Heights and went out of the disastrous Iran Deal, the nuclear deal that would have paved Iran’s path to go to nuclear weapons. So yes, I appreciated it.”

But some cite Netanyahu’s glowing public endorsements of Trump as one of the reasons why new polls show a worrying fall in support for Israel among Democrats, and people aged 18-29.

For the first time, a majority of both now have more sympathy for Palestine than Israel.

“America is changing vis-a-vis America,” he responded, “And therefore is changing vis-à-vis Israel. But I think the main bulk of the American public across the wide birth of the political spectrum support Israel because they see Israel as representing the values.”

But when I pushed him about falling support from Democrats and 18-29s, he admitted: “Well there’s a question of where that goes and whether this pendulum doesn’t swing back.”

And he denied “taking sides,” saying: “I don’t align myself with anyone. I didn’t come in as a Republican or Democrat, I came in as an Israeli. And I have close friends among both sides of the aisle. Joe Biden, with whom I often disagree, by the way, I sometimes disagreed with Trump, too.”

Netanyahu revealed that President Biden warned him not to damage democracy in Israel in a recent call between the two leaders.

What did Biden say to him?

“Well, first of all, we spoke about Iran security. A lot. But he raised that [concerns over threat to Israel’s democracy] and I assured him what I assured you: that Israel was, is and will remain a democracy.”

Who funds Antifa protests? We all do

Last week, the city of Philadelphia agreed to pay $9.25 million to 343 left-wing protesters who alleged they suffered “physical and emotional injuries” when police used tear gas and pepper spray to clear them off a major highway in downtown at a Black Lives Matter-style direct action in 2020.

Videos recorded at the time showed the mob shut down the highway while vandalizing public property.

As a journalist who reports on the militant far-left and its rioters, the question I’m asked most often is, “Who funds them?”

Some believe billionaire George Soros is responsible.

And they would be partially correct. Soros funds groups that form part of the support apparatus of left-wing militants — district attorneys, biased media and legal groups.

But his money doesn’t directly reach the pockets of militants on the street.

Who ends up paying far-left rioters like Antifa? Too often, taxpayers like you and me.

Through a developed network of radical leftist legal groups, like the National Lawyers Guild, lawfare against cities and police departments is the go-to method for payloads. At nearly every left-wing “direct action” or riot, you’ll see NLG “legal observers” move in and out with the mob to record police. This “evidence gathering” is propaganda made to portray the police in the worst possible light while specifically omitting any recordings of what their comrades do.

Independent press are subjected to assault and robbery by others in the group to maintain tight control over the narrative and any photographic evidence. Kyle Seraphin, a former-FBI agent who was assigned to do surveillance in Portland during the 2020 Antifa riots, says the green-hat “legal observers” were linked via radio with the mob and worked as auxiliary counter-surveillance.

Seraphin told me: “My team witnessed several instances of NLG hat-wearing ‘legal observers’ calling out the license plates of suspected surveillance personnel [over] radios — sometimes accurately, sometimes not. These call-outs were met with a response by 5-6 uniformly clad, black-bloc individuals who attempted to intimidate the suspected ‘fed.’ ”

On March 5, an NLG member and staff attorney for the Southern Poverty Law Center named Thomas Jurgens was charged with domestic terrorism for his alleged involvement in a violent Antifa attack on police in Atlanta.

When the NLG’s legal observers and their comrades are arrested, they’re immediately provided with pro-bono legal aid and connections for bail money (rioters often write the NLG’s phone number on their body in anticipation of arrests.)

And then the lawsuits come.

Josh Hawley Unveils ‘Worker’s Agenda’ to End U.S. Free Trade with China

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has unveiled his “worker’s agenda,” which includes legislation to end the United States’ decades-long, job-killing free trade status with China.

Last week, Hawley proposed the “Ending Normal Trade Relations with China Act” which would effectively impose high tariffs on Chinese imports to the U.S. by revoking China’s free trade status that the communist country has enjoyed for more than two decades.

“As we face a new age of competition with China, we need an agenda in Washington that will make our working class strong and independent,” Hawley said in a statement:

We can start by revoking the sweetheart deal D.C. elites handed to China 23 years ago — end normal trade relations, put in place strong tariffs, and protect American workers. [Emphasis added]

In 2001, China entered the World Trade Organization (WTO) with the backing of former President Bush’s administration and was subsequently awarded “permanent normal trade relations status” by the U.S. after congressional approval.

Democrat Rep. Sherman: China’s Control of Corporate America an ‘Invasion of our Sovereignty’:

As a result of authorizing U.S. free trade with China, nearly four million American jobs have been eliminated from the U.S. economy from 2001 to 2018 — including almost three million domestic manufacturing jobs, as multinational corporations readily shipped jobs overseas without penalties from the government.

Assistant Trade Minister Tim Ayres travels to China for Boao Forum for Asia amid continued push for end to trade sanctions

An Albanese government minister is visiting China for key talks on trade and investment amid Labor's continued push for the removal of Beijing's trade sanctions on Australian goods.

An Albanese government minister has hailed "another important step" in stabilising the relationship between Canberra and Beijing amid a key trip to China.

Assistant Trade Minister Tim Ayres is visiting Australia's largest trading partner this week to take part in the Boao Forum for Asia annual conference in Hainan Province.

Mr Ayres is the only the second minister after Penny Wong to travel to China since the election of the Albanese government in May last year.

He is also the first Australian minister since 2016 to attend the forum, which he says provides a "high-level dialogue… to discuss regional economic and trade issues".

"In addition to engaging in a series of meetings to discuss trade and investment, I will participate in a panel session exploring the future of clean energy," Mr Ayres said.

Twitter Employees Reportedly Put on Notice with 2:30 am Message from Elon Musk

Elon Musk has issued marching orders to Twitter workers that he wants them either marching back to the office or out the door.

The order was contained in a memo to Twitter staff issued at 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Platformer managing editor Zoë Schiffer tweeted.

“NEW: Apple is tracking employee attendance (via badge records) and will give employees escalating warnings if they don’t come in 3x per week. ALSO: Elon Musk sent Twitter employees an email at 2:30am saying the ‘office is not optional’ and noting SF was half empty yesterday,” she wrote.

For months, Musk has been pushing for Twitter workers to return to the office.

Schiffer followed that up with a series of tweets summarizing a memo from Musk to Twitter staff about the state of the company.

As noted by Fox Business, the pandemic-era turn to remote work is ending as companies increasingly bring workers back to the office.

A Bureau of Labor Statistics report issued last week shows that as of a 2022 business survey, 72.5 percent of businesses were not using remote work options, up from 60.1 percent in 2021.

The report said 16.4 percent of businesses had some but not all workers teleworking, down from 29.8 percent in 2021.

“There’s a sense that innovation, creativity and collaboration can suffer when teams are apart,” Mike Steinitz, senior executive director at Robert Half, a recruiting firm, told The Wall Street Journal.

The company found that 92 percent of managers want teams working at the office,

“They believe employees are simply more productive in the office,” Steinitz said. “They also feel that it’s important for mentoring and training both new and existing employees.”

Rupert Murdoch faces jail for threatening employee to lie under oath in $1.6 billion Dominion defamation case

Abby Grossberg who works for Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News in the US has filed 2 proceedings against Fox, one in Delaware and one in New York, claiming “Fox’s legal team coerced, intimidated, and misinformed Ms. Grossberg as they “prepared” her in connection” with giving evidence in the Dominion defamation claim against Fox.

This is dynamite and if Abby Grossberg has solid evidence to back up her claims it could torpedo any defence Fox has against the defamation claim and could also lead to criminal charges against Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch and others for threatening a witness to lie under oath. Once one person flips others will likely follow which is another danger for the Murdochs.

The same judge in Delaware who is dealing with the Dominion v Fox defamation matter has also been handed the matter Abby Grossberg filed in Delaware and he said in court on Wednesday “it had been assigned to him because it was “related.”

Fox and Dominion were in court on Wednesday both arguing that the defamation matter should be decided by summary judgment, but it is likely to go to a hearing in April. The judge did make a few comments worth noting:

He said one of Fox’s arguments “doesn’t seem to be intellectually honest.” At another point, he openly questioned how Fox News could argue that former host Lou Dobbs had engaged in legally protected “neutral” reporting when he signed many of his tweets with a MAGA hashtag. (Click here to read more)

Abby Grossberg makes numerous other complaints including “Consistent with Fox News’s long history of tolerating gender harassment and targeting women who report it, Fox News retaliated against Ms. Grossberg after she complained about the unlawful harassment”.

I published the below video (22/3/23) on this matter and at the time Fox had not withdrawn their application to try and suppress Abby Grossberg which they have now withdrawn.

Putin accuses Australia of joining a military ‘axis’ as part of a ‘global NATO’

Moscow: Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused Australia of joining a new global “axis” with the United States and NATO that he said bears resemblance to the World War II alliance between Nazi Germany, fascist Italy and imperial Japan.

In the interview on Russian TV channel Rossiya-24 on Sunday night, Putin named Australia, New Zealand and South Korea as being in line to join a “global NATO” and referenced a defence agreement signed by Britain and Japan earlier this year.

“What is the United States doing? They are creating more and more alliances. That is why Western analysts … are talking about the West starting to build a new axis similar to the one created in the 1930s by the fascist regimes of Germany and Italy and militarist Japan,” he said.

Putin also insisted, days after hosting Chinese leader Xi Jinping in the Kremlin, that Russia and China are not creating a military alliance, saying the co-operation between their armed forces is “transparent”.

Putin and Xi professed friendship and pledged closer ties, including in the military sphere, during their March 20-21 summit, as Russia struggles to make battlefield gains in what it calls a “special military operation” in Ukraine.

“We are not creating any military alliance with China,” Putin said on state television. “Yes, we have co-operation in the sphere of military-technical interaction. We are not hiding this.

“Everything is transparent, there is nothing secret.”

China and Russia signed a “no limits” partnership accord in early 2022, just weeks before Putin sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine. Beijing has refrained from criticising Putin’s decision and has touted a peace plan for Ukraine. The West has dismissed its proposals as a ploy to buy Putin more time to rebuild his forces in Ukraine.

Washington has said recently that it fears Beijing could arm Russia, something China denies.

Dating apps ordered to hand over data to federal government

Popular dating apps have been ordered to hand over data to the federal government following a national roundtable into the rise of sexual and domestic violence on the platforms.

The National Roundtable on Online Dating Safety was held in January but months down the track, questions have been asked about what changes have been made so far.

Communications Minister Michelle Rowland has provided an update on what we can expect to see rolled out on the platforms and at a policy level to protect Aussies from harm.

It comes as data shows more than three million people use dating apps across the country while three in four of those people have experienced sexual violence or harassment on the apps.

Here's what we know so far about policy and app changes to enhance safety.

What has happened since the national roundtable?

The government is eager to prevent violence on dating app platforms but has stressed there is no overnight fix.

"Dating apps are now the most common way to meet a partner in Australia," Rowland said.

"I'm determined that online dating platforms are committed to ending violence against women and I am pleased with recent progress that has been made."

Since January, Rowland has requested data from the top ten online dating services used by Australians, including Tinder and Bumble, about how much harm is really occurring.
