Chinese Authorities Block UBS Banker From Leaving Beijing

 

Swiss bank UBS Group AG. has asked its China wealth management staff to reconsider their travel plans to the country after authorities there asked one of its bankers to delay her departure from Beijing to meet with local officials, a person familiar with the matter said.

 

The banker, who is based in Singapore and works in the relationship management team in UBS’s wealth management unit, still has her passport, but was asked to remain in China and meet with local authority officials next week, the person said. The identity and position of the banker were not known.

 

The purpose of the meeting with authorities is not clear, but the bank has asked others in its China wealth management team to review their travel plans carefully.

 

No other units in the bank, including back office or asset management teams, have been asked to re-consider existing travel plans. A UBS spokeswoman declined to comment

Greek Prosecutors To Investigate The Government Slush Fund And Soros Money Used For Foreign Lobbying And Propaganda

 

Greek prosecutors have started an investigation of an alleged slush fund managed by the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, supposedly used to fund lobbying and propaganda efforts in Albania, Macedonia and other Balkan countries in order to advance the interests of the Greek government.

 

The probe, reported by Ekathemirini, follows reports in the Greek media that the Greek government has secretly paid media outlets, journalists, non profit organizations, Easter Orthodox churches and other influencers in Macedonia and Albania, to achieve the government’s objectives in relations with the two countries, in particular Macedonia’s name change and a maritime demarcation agreement between Greece and Albania.

 

The Greek government has not denied the existence of the secret funds, and has criticized the media for disclosing state secrets

Government-Funded Radio Free Europe Continues Its Anti-Trump Bias

 

It is no secret that U.S. government-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Free Europe (RFERL) has a certain bias towards the Left and the Soros agenda. This bias was on display today in an article over the Trump administration withdrawing from the 1987 INF treaty.

 

The network does some good work but their liberal, anti-American leanings need to be called out. So we are doing so.

Czech Politician: What Multiculturalism Hides

 

Multiculturalism is not a manifestation of Europe’s generosity, or some noble embodiment of love and truth. Multiculturalism is what remains after mass migration reveals itself as a threat, rather than a benefit, to the economies of European countries.

 

Take, for instance, the example of France. After the Second World War, when France underwent a boom of economic growth, waves of migration were viewed favorably: there were many job opportunities for unskilled and medium-skilled laborers, and the native French population aspired to work in the tertiary sector, which offered more qualified, better-paid jobs. From the end of the war until the mid-1970s, foreign workers tended to come to France temporarily, without their families, and return to their countries of origin. These workers were generally recruited from former French colonies to do menial and low-paying jobs — not in order to enrich the culture of the host country.

Trump’s Cut At Least $23 Billion of Red Tape And He’s Just Starting

 

People forget that tax cuts are not the only reason for the Trump economic revival. Another YUGE part of the recovery has been the cutting of government regulations and red tape which ties the hands of businesses and empties their wallets. That loss of money to these enterprises takes away funds better used for R&D, expansion, and employee salaries. A new look at his cuts reveals he has saved at least $23 billion so far.

 

When he was campaigning for the White House Trump insisted that he wanted to eliminate as many needless regulations as possible to take a burden off the private sector and unleash our economy. He promised his administration would kill two regulations for every one added. And so far he has succeeded at implementing that promise. Not only succeeded but EXceeded. During his first year as POTUS, the Trump administration got rid of twenty-two regulations for everyone added. So far in 2018 that ratio is twelve to one. And as it turns out, he has done more than any president in modern history.

20 Key Races that Will Determine Which Party Controls the House of Representatives

 

The generic ballot advantage of Democrats in Congressional races in the midterm elections holds steady at around 7.6 percent, which is slightly above the five percent generic ballot advantage most political experts believe Democrats have needed to win a majority in the House since the gerrymandering of congressional district boundaries by Republican controlled state legislatures after the 2010 census.

 

As Breitbart News reported previously, only 95 of the 435 House races are considered competitive. Of the 340 House seats that are not competitive, 150 are safely Republican, while 190 are safely Democrat. Breitbart News estimates that 66 of the 95 competitive races are now likely Republican, while nine are now likely Democrat.

 

The 20 key remaining competitive races are now classified by Breitbart News as election day toss-ups. Nineteen of those seats are currently held by a Republican. Only one is currently held by a Democrat.

 

Breitbart News has a smaller list of toss-up races than the Cook Political Report, which currently lists 31 toss up races, 30 held by Republicans, and only one held by a Democrat.
