“No Greater Threat To America’s Way Of Life”: Senate Unanimously Passes Resolution To Condemn CCP Leader Xi Jinping

“No Greater Threat To America’s Way Of Life”: Senate Unanimously Passes Resolution To Condemn CCP Leader Xi Jinping

Published by Jenni Sidey

Authored by Dorothy Li via The Epoch Times, U.S. senators have voiced support for ordinary Chinese people and denounced communist regime leader Xi Jinping for lying to Americans and committing human rights abuses. The U.S. Senate unanimously approved on June 16 by voice vote a resolution (Senate Resolution 444) condemning Xi for “deceit, undermining prospects for peace and security, and orchestrating crimes against humanity.” The resolution also encourages the U.S. government and its agencies to use all available tools—including the authorities under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, which allow sanctions against individuals responsible for serious human rights violations or corruption—to hold Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials accountable. The vote came just a day after Xi’s 73rd birthday. “There is no greater threat to America’s way of life, peace, and prosperity in the world than Xi Jinping and the CCP,” Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who introduced the resolution earlier this month, told the Senate before the vote. “Xi Jinping hates us. Communist China wants to destroy us. He is not a partner. He is …

Minnesota Democrats Unanimously Vote To Protect Rep. Ilhan Omar… And Dead Voters

Minnesota Democrats Unanimously Vote To Protect Rep. Ilhan Omar… And Dead Voters

Published by Jenni Sidey

Authored by Eric Utter via AmericanThinker.com, Minnesota Senate Democrats recently voted – unaminously – against removing deceased persons from the state’s voter rolls. This tracks with the fact that almost 100% of dead people vote for Democrats, making them Democrats’ most loyal voting bloc, even surpassing that of serial killers. (This may explain why, historically, Democrat gerrymandering seems designed to encompass as many cemeteries as possible. O.K., that is just an unfounded assertion, but it seems likely, does it not?) The dead — and serial killers — are groups that vote heavily for Democrats? Talk about a symbiotic relationship! The latter provide the former! Genius! Kismet! This after they also voted — unanimously — against an oversight committee effort to compel Rep. Ilhan Omar to testify after she missed a deadline to provide documents to the committee investigating the Somali fraud rampant in the North Star State. So the multi-millionaire or poverty-stricken representative (take your pick) from Somalia escapes a subpoena, at least for now. It is obvious that Democrats in Minnesota are as wedded to fraud as Ilhan once was to her brother. And for …

Council unanimously agrees to end religious reps’ voting powers

Council unanimously agrees to end religious reps’ voting powers

Published by Sam Flores

The National Secular Society has welcomed Falkirk Council’s decision to remove voting privileges from religious representatives with reserved seats on the Executive Committee. In a full meeting today (pictured), councillors unanimously agreed to remove voting powers from the three religious representatives appointed to the council’s Executive. By law, local authorities in Scotland must appoint three religious representatives to their education committees, at least one of whom must be appointed by the Roman Catholic Church and one by the Church of Scotland. The motion, proposed by Scottish National Party councillor Iain Sinclair, said “only elected members of the council will have the right to vote at the Executive Committee”. A deputation made on behalf of the Catholic archdiocese of St. Andrews and Edinburgh opposed the motion. It is thought Falkirk Council is the tenth council in Scotland to have removed its religious representatives’ voting powers. Six councils voted to do so in 2023, the most recent being East Lothian Council in December that year. The NSS briefed all councillors prior to the meeting, saying voting powers …
