White House marks rejoining UNESCO, says Trump-era absence harmed US interests

The White House marked the United States rejoining the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) ahead of first lady Jill Biden’s trip to France, four years after former President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the agreement.

Senior administration officials outlined that the U.S. not being a part of the international organization was harmful to its interests.

“In recent years with UNESCO, it became clear that the U.S. absence from this organization was actually harming our interests,” officials said, adding that U.S. competitors are “working hard in the U.N. to shape the global agenda on issues ranging from emerging technology to sustainable development.”

“If we aren’t in the room, we can’t push back and if we don’t show up, we can’t fight for the American people and defend our allies abroad from unfair attacks,” officials said.

The U.S. in 2019 officially withdrew from UNESCO, two years after the Trump administration cited anti-Israel bias for the decision to leave the group. The withdrawal was largely procedural, and came as the Trump administration more broadly raised concerns about the United Nations’ agenda and attitudes toward Israel.

The first lady will deliver remarks at the UNESCO flag-raising ceremony. She is set to leave Sunday evening and return on Wednesday.

Officials cited rejoining UNESCO as part of President Biden’s overall focus on U.S. leadership and participation on the global stage following the Trump years.

Rep. Jim Banks: ‘It’s Time to Impeach’ President Biden, Expunge Trump Impeachments

“It’s time to impeach” President Biden and expunge former President Donald Trump’s impeachments, Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) told Breitbart News Saturday, following a continued showing of Biden family corruption exposed by whistleblowers and backed by the emergence of new documents.

Host Matthew Boyle pointed to the release of an FBI document which showed that Ukrainian officials said they were able to pay money to the Bidens to achieve certain objectives, prompting Banks to point out that “we already knew that [the] Bidens are the most corrupt family ever to live in the White House, and that’s saying a lot after the Clintons lived there.”

“But what we saw more of this week is more proof and more evidence,” Banks, who is running for a Senate seat, said, explaining that it means that Republicans must follow through and hold Joe Biden accountable.

“It’s time to impeach him. The evidence was already there, but this is further evidence that this is the type of high crimes and misdemeanors that should prevent this man from serving any day longer in the White House than what he already has. On top of that — man, I mean, this evidence this week proves that they impeached Donald Trump because he was right,” Banks said, calling for the expungement of former President Donald Trump’s political impeachments.

“At the same time that we impeach Joe Biden, it’s also time to expunge the fake impeachment against Donald J. Trump at the same time as well,” he said, concluding that it is clear those impeachments were purely political.

“I’m all for expunging those Trump impeachments too,” he said, adding that there are “way too many Republicans, especially on Capitol Hill, that want to — want to just ignore the Biden corruption.”

“They want to they say they want to move forward,” he said, clarifying that Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) is not one of them, adding that the senator “deserves an award for his leadership and staying … focused on holding Joe Biden accountable.”

When asked if legislation offered by Reps. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), which would essentially expunge Trump’s impeachments, will move forward, Banks made it clear that he views the efforts as “completely warranted,” calling for everyone to be put “on the spot and let the — let the voters in those districts” see where their representatives stand on the issue.

“Either you do believe in the rule of law and you do believe that those who are corrupted abuse their powe — like Joe Biden and the Biden family — should be held accountable or you don’t,” he added.

Vietnam arrests former health teacher for ‘anti-state propaganda’

Vietnamese authorities have detained a former health teacher Duong Tuan Ngoc for posts he made on social media about education, health, and social issues that criticized the government, police reports and family members said.

Ngoc, 38, was once a nutrition teacher in the southern province of Lam Dong. The Lam Dong police summoned him on July 10, and he was detained the next day, his wife Bui Thanh Diem Ngoc, told Radio Free Asia’s Vietnamese Service.

The police said the detention is for an investigation on charges of anti-state propaganda in connection with videos he posted to Facebook and YouTube.

The exact law he is charged with violating is the vaguely written Article 117, which Amnesty International has described as being “commonly used to suppress legitimate dissent in Vietnam” and “a favored tool of the authorities to arbitrarily imprison journalists, bloggers and others who express views that do not align with the interests of the Communist Party of Vietnam.”

So far this year, at least six other activists, independent journalists and Facebook users have been arrested under Article 117 with prison terms ranging from five years and six months to eight years in prison, according to RFA statistics.

Mrs. Ngoc said her husband was called in on July 10 when police received an anonymous accusation that Mr. Ngoc was selling drug-related products on his Facebook account. At the police station, Mr. Ngoc was asked to admit that an offending account belonged to him.

“He said that he did not do anything wrong,” Mrs. Ngoc said. “The next day, we were asked to appear at the police station again without any stated reason.”

On their second visit, the husband and wife were put in separate rooms for interrogation. Later that night, police searched their house and confiscated phones, laptops, computers and cameras.

Mrs. Ngoc said that she was allowed to keep three of her own phones, and was let go after two days of interrogation, during which she was asked if she had helped her husband edit his online posts.

She has not seen her husband since the 11th, nor has she been allowed to send him clothes or anything else he might need. On Sunday, she received the written police notice of her husband’s emergency detention.

Border Patrol Reports Surge In Illegal Aliens On Terror Watch List

Border Patrol reported a spike in illegal aliens on the terror watch list attempting to cross the southern border into the United States in fiscal year 2023.

Data from United States Customs and Border Protection reveals that Border Patrol has encountered 143 illegal aliens on the terror watch list in fiscal year 2023. The figure marks a significant jump from the 98 encounters that Border Patrol had in fiscal year 2022.

But both 2022 and 2023 have marked dramatic increases from previous years, with only six encounters with those on the terror watchlist being reported by Border Patrol in fiscal year 2021 and three being encountered in fiscal years 2019 and 2020.

One illegal alien on the terror watch list was recently released into the interior of the U.S. It took two weeks to find and arrest the illegal immigrant, who the Tampa Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office noted could “pose a national security risk.”

Meanwhile, a recent report from Border Patrol revealed that there’s been a 1,000% increase in illegal immigration into the United States from various different foreign countries, including China, Afghanistan, Algeria, Vietnam, Ethiopia, and others.

The sharp increase comes as illegal immigration has accelerated more broadly under the Biden administration, with an estimated 1.5 million gotaways reported since Biden took office in 2021. The figure dwarfs the total 415,000 estimated gotaways under the Trump administration in 2018, 2019, and 2020.

American citizens living on the Texas-Mexico border told The Daily Wire that illegal immigrants have crossed their properties at alarming rates since the Biden administration, with some even surrounding the homes of ranchers or trying to lure young girls out of their home late at night.

Estimates have found that illegal immigration costs American taxpayers approximately $151 billion every year, with significant strain being placed on the healthcare system, especially in Texas, Florida, and Arizona.

Major cities have struggled to respond to the immigration crisis, with Chicago approving a $51 million initiative to provide housing for foreign nationals and New York City using places of worship for housing.

A CBS News poll from late May found that 63% of Americans disapprove of Biden’s handling of the border, while only 37% said that they approve.

Dots connected: Thanks to IRS whistleblowers, we now know why Garland refused to assign a “special counsel”…

Given the flurry of bombshells from the FBI and IRS whistleblowers, it’s puzzling why impeachment proceedings haven’t begun yet — particularly in the case of Merrick Garland, the self-proclaimed head of the “Save Hunter” brigade. He’s been bending over backwards to keep Hunter Biden’s criminal activities — and those of his father, Joe — under wraps. Fortunately, the whistleblowers are standing in his way by putting Garland in the spotlight. And now, thanks to the IRS whistleblowers, we know exactly why Merrick refused to assign a “special counsel” to investigate the Hunter Biden laptop, tax evasion, and gun charges. If he did, it would quickly reveal the obstruction of justice that’s occurring in Garland’s department. That’s what investigative journalist Paul Sperry is learning from his inside sources involved in the current congressional investigation.

Here’s what Sperry said in his tweet:

But it’s not just Merrick Garland who’s been running cover for Hunter. He picked up where Bill Barr left off.

So, Bill Barr, an experienced lawyer and politician, “hoped” that Joe Biden would manage the Hunter Biden investigation “responsibly.” What a farce. These regime elites aren’t even trying to maintain a facade of impartiality and seriousness. The entire saga surrounding Hunter and his laptop was like a carefully choreographed ballet. From Barr to Garland, and every “dancer” in between, they all executed their steps perfectly to keep the performance flowing. Each move was precise and timed to perfection so the production would go off without a hitch.

Should Merrick be impeached? He certainly should. If not, Kevin McCarthy ought to be removed as Speaker of the House.

The Hill:

House Republicans are debating whether to focus impeachment efforts on Attorney General Merrick Garland after Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) suggested an inquiry against him, taking some members by surprise after much of the GOP impeachment furor had been directed at other Biden officials.

In a year where the GOP has been most steadily focused on possible impeachments of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas or President Biden, McCarthy often has been the voice urging the conference to move patiently and deliberately.

But he has shown more vigor when eyeing Garland, an official leading an agency often derided by the GOP but a figure less frequently cited by the party’s members who are most keen on impeachment.

McCarthy first elevated the topic with a tweet late last month touting testimony of an IRS whistleblower who has alleged mismanagement of the investigation into Hunter Biden, saying it could serve as “a significant part of a larger impeachment inquiry.”

But the conference — though eager to investigate — hasn’t rushed to back the idea, with some questioning whether there is a legal basis for impeaching Garland and others saying different Cabinet secretaries should be reviewed first.

Conservatives are tired of these grandstanding committees. We want to see some heads roll.

Top prosecutor in Hunter Biden tax probe David Weiss had his law school fees paid for with dirty money from his crooked IRS agent father who was caught accepting $200k in bribes from shady businessmen

David Weiss' father worked as an IRS agent and was caught accepting over $200k in bribes from businessmen and was sentenced to four years in prison

His father Meyer spent almost $71,020 on David's college and law school tuition, in part financed by the bribe money, according to a 1995 US tax court ruling

Weiss is Delaware federal justice official prosecuting Hunter Biden for tax crimes

David Weiss, the justice official prosecuting Hunter Biden for tax crimes, had his college and law school fees paid in part by bribes from tax cheats, legal documents show.

Weiss' father, Meyer Weiss, worked as an IRS agent in Philadelphia from 1955 to 1984. He was caught accepting over $200,000 in bribes from businessmen seeking to break federal tax laws, and was sentenced four years in prison.

Meyer spent almost $71,020 on David's college and law school tuition, in part financed by the bribe money, a 1995 US tax court ruling said.

The criminal history of the Delaware prosecutor's family was unearthed by right wing nonprofit Marco Polo.

The organization previously conducted a two-year investigation into the Biden family and last year published a shocking 650-page report alleging dozens of crimes by Joe Biden, his son, family members and associates.

Legalized Sale Of Children For “Spare Parts” And Ukrainian Justice: Why Did Court Release Transcarpathian Child Trafficker?

Today it is no secret that Ukraine has become the main “supplier” of organs for “black transplantologists”. Thanks to video evidence which has recently surfaced, there has been an increase in interest in the topic on social media, even amongst ordinary Ukrainians. Where fake news about Ukraine’s military advantage was once abundant, now discussions of the large-scale organ trafficking of AFU fighters have prevailed.

One recent and sobering item of news was the detention of a Ukrainian man at the border of Ukraine and Slovakia. He was caught red-handed trying to take an 11-month-old child abroad, in order to sell the organs.

The identity of the malefactor was quickly established – 43-year-old Denis Varodi, a resident of the city of Uzhgorod, in the Transcarpathian region of Western Ukraine.

Varodi had worked as a teacher in an orphanage, and even headed the Uzhgorod gymnasium No. 13 as an employee of the Uzhgorod city council. He is presently the head of the “Heart With Love” charitable foundation, as well as the founder of the Transcarpathian regional youth society of orphans, “Share”.

According to Ukrainian law enforcement officers, the man paid an advance payment of $1,000 to the boy’s mother, who lives in Zhytomyr. He convinced her that the boy would be safer living far away from the war, and that he himself would ensure the adoption of her child by good people within the EU. The total “cost” of the child, agreed with the mother, was supposed to be $5,000.

Ukrainian law enforcement officers, however, received intelligence that the man had brazenly deceived the child’s mother, as no such adoption was planned. His intention was always to sell the baby to “black transplantologists” for the sum of $25,000.

The man was detained on the border of Ukraine and Slovakia, as he was about to cross it with the child. He was accompanied by his wife, who was his full accomplice.

The investigation has established that Varodi has already managed to organize at least three such “transactions” for the sale of children aged 1 to 2 years. The criminal took the children to Europe for a grisly fate, whilst pretending to the parents that the babies would be cared for by new and loving European families.

The chairman of the Union of Political Emigrants and Political Prisoners of Ukraine, Larisa Shesler, said: “This is a huge business that amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars. And in conditions when the Ukrainian economy collapsed. This is of great interest to this kind of “benefactor,” and even many leaders of orphanages do not disdain such behaviour”.

Summing up the above, it is impossible not to conclude that everything has its price – even the life of a child.

Gmail users set to be hit by massive change as Google updates Inactive Account Policy in a bid to strengthen cybersecurity

Google's new measures targeted at improving online data safety could see millions of Gmail accounts become "eligible for deletion" by December 2023.

Google has announced a huge update to its inactivity policy which could see millions of Gmail accounts deleted by the end of this year.

The tech giant implemented changes to how long accounts could remain open without being used, with the new duration set to a maximum of two years.

This would mean all personal Gmail accounts that have been dormant for 24 months will be deleted including any applications or contents linked to that email address, although accounts for businesses and organisations will not be impacted.

It comes as an effort to combat cybersecurity threats and protect personal information from being leaked online as accounts that have been unused for long periods of time are much more vulnerable to exposure, phishing scams, and hijacking.

“We are updating the inactivity period for a Google account to two years across all our products and services,” Google said on Friday.

“This change starts rolling out today and will apply to any Google account that’s been inactive, meaning it has not been signed into or used, within a two-year period.”

“An inactive account and any content in it will be eligible for deletion from December 1, 2023.”

Other Google services synced to the Gmail account that could be erased with the updated policy include Docs, Dive, Meet, Calendar, YouTube, and Photos.

However, if any level of activity is noted within this time period, the accounts are safe from deletion.

“If you have signed into your Google account or any of our services recently, your account is considered active and will not be deleted,” the company said.

For an account to be regarded as an operational one, users must read or send an email, use Drive, watch YouTube videos, download apps through Play Store, or use the Google search functionality (while signed in to that Gmail address).

If the “Sign in with Google” option is selected when using third-party apps, the requirement will also be met.

Although businesses will not be hit by the new Inactive Accounts Policy, it must be noted that if their company uses personal Google addresses to integrate with third-party tools, the changes will apply.

To avoid losing important company data, the following measures can be taken: ensure all settings are up-to-date, safely documenting recovery email information set up for each account, establishing two-factor authentication, and taking inventory of any shared accounts used and document them.

Google will be sending ample reminders ahead of the changes taking effect in December, both to the primary and recovery Gmail address.

DC Judge Refuses to Force DOJ to Turn Over Records Showing Biden-Garland’s Obstruction of Hunter Biden Prosecution

Back in March, The Heritage Foundation requested documents from the DOJ using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regarding the government’s investigation of Hunter Biden. Unsurprisingly, the DOJ refused.

The charges were so weak they created a presumption of corruption at the DOJ. This was doubly true because it was announced that Hunter would be pleading out to the joke charges on July 26, 2023, in a rapid fire, “nothing to see here” prosecution.

Six days later, the Heritage Foundation filed a FOIA lawsuit in Washington, D.C. (good luck getting a fair shake there) and requested the court force the DOJ to disclose critical records about the Hunter Biden investigation which would demonstrate that the Biden Administration and corrupt Attorney General Merrick Garland were obstructing the prosecution. Heritage argued that the judge in Hunter’s criminal case needed to see the records so that the sham prosecution would be exposed, and Hunter would not get a lenient judgment due to third-world level rank corruption.

Predictably, the far left federal judge, Dabney Friedrich denied Heritage’s request. The judge explained that DOJ couldn’t be asked to turn over the records because it was too busy responding to records requests about the January 6th riot. [SNORT]. Right, as if anyone has ever been granted any documents from the DOJ relating to January 6th. Ask us how we know…. What a sad joke.

The same day this honorable judge Friedrich denied Heritage’s request, IRS investigator whistleblowers testified:

They were blocked from searching Hunter Biden’s home;

They were prevented from speaking with Biden’s family members;

That the DOJ refused to impose felony tax charges – even though the investigators (who were Democrats, by the way) strongly recommended them;

That the US Attorney leading the investigation had personally told them – contrary to his public statements – that Biden and Garland had obstructed his ability to conduct his investigation AND curtailed his ability to bring the charges he wanted to bring.

The IRS whistleblowers strongly advocated for the appointment of a special counsel because of the lack of impartiality in Hunter’s investigation and prosecution.

This request to produce documents was filed by The Heritage Foundation on Thursday.

Oregon Department of Corrections Ordered to Provide Taxpayer-Funded Sex-Change Treatments For ‘Transgender’ Pedophile

The Oregon Department of Corrections has been ordered to provide sex-change treatments for a convicted “transgender” pedophile.

The treatments taxpayers may be on the hook for include facial feminization surgery, tracheal shaving, breast augmentation, and electrolysis.

Joseph Daniel Neilson, a biological male who now goes by “Nova June Gaia,” 38, was imprisoned for sexually abusing a young girl.

Neilson was arrested in Portland in 2018 for sexually assaulting the young child he was babysitting. Reduxx, who first reported on the case, has withheld the child’s relationship with the predator to protect their identity and dignity.

“On September 3, 2018, Gaia was watching over two children, a girl and a boy, at a home in Clackamas County. According to the police report obtained by Reduxx, while taking the girl to the bathroom, Gaia licked the girl’s genitals. Later on that same day, Gaia fondled the girl’s vagina,” the outlet reported.

“The girl would eventually disclose the abuse and Gaia was visited by police less than two weeks later. During questioning, Gaia asserted that he had accidentally molested the child while playing with her. Bizarrely, Gaia claimed that the girl’s pants and underwear had fallen off while they were play-fighting, and that he had inadvertently touched his fingers and mouth to her genitals repeatedly.”

At the time of his arrest, Neilson had a full beard and did not appear to be attempting to look like a woman in any way.

However, in June 2019, while awaiting sentencing, Neilson suddenly decided he was “transgender” and submitted an inquiry to his jail asking when he would be transferred to Coffee Creek, the only women’s prison in Oregon.

The predator was convicted of six counts related to the molestation, including one count of felony sodomy and one count of Sexual Abuse in the First Degree.

Neilson was sentenced to 24 years in prison, with his earliest possible release date being 2043.

“Reduxx obtained a 555-page inmate record associated with Gaia’s incarceration history which showed that the first and only time he mentioned his gender identity to prison officials was in October of 2019. Gaia filed an inmate grievance against a Deputy alleging he had ‘exposed to the entire [prison] block’ the style of feminine underwear Gaia had been wearing,” the Reduxx report states.

The pedophile claimed that the deputy had “severely endangered” him and “discriminated against my gender identity” by revealing that he had requested women’s underwear.

Netanyahu to undergo heart surgery

The Israeli PM said he will be fitted with a pacemaker

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to undergo a heart surgery overnight to be fitted with a cardiac pacemaker, he said in a brief statement on his Twitter account around 1am Sunday morning.

“A week ago I was fitted with a monitoring device. That device beeped this evening and said I must have a pacemaker and that I must do this already tonight,” Netanyahu said in a 36-second video clip.

“I feel great, but I need to listen to my doctors,” he added.

Last Saturday, Netanyahu was rushed to Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan after reportedly fainting at home. His office made no reference to any loss of consciousness, stating only that the prime minister had felt “dizzy.” The veteran politician had blamed his lapse in vitality on spending afternoon in the hot sun at the Sea of Galilee “without a hat, without water,” and warned his countrymen to stay out of the sun and stay hydrated.

Doctors, however, fitted Netanyahu with a heart implant for monitoring cardiac arrhythmia before releasing him from the hospital after undergoing a series of tests.

The 73-year-old is not known to have any chronic health conditions, and doctors had insisted his heart was in “excellent condition.” However, his office has not released its required annual update on his health since 2016, and the Kan public broadcaster reported that a number of Israeli officials have complained at the lack of transparency.
