Chinese Student in Canada

There’s a reason why Americans are tuning out of the Beijing Olympics in record numbers—with a poll last month showing 40 percent of adults oppose holding the games in China. 

Just as there are reasons why some Republicans are calling for a full boycott—athletes and all—of the iconic games. There are reasons why some athletes are decrying being silenced from speaking their hearts and minds in Beijing.

Often cited are the horrific human rights abuses taking place in a country with zero freedom. Cited are the Uyghurs enduring slave labor, torture, and sometimes murder. Cited is the poverty pervading the majority of Chinese people. 

Cited is the disappearance of a woman tennis player who dared to speak out about a CCP (Chinese Communist Party) official who sexually assaulted her.

And cited was the CCP virus that infected the world.

But one visa student from China, now living in freedom-loving Canada, who fled the CCP’s tyrannical regime in fear of being persecuted for her spiritual belief, Falun Gong, has done more than tuning out of the Olympics.

Digital animation prodigy at world-renowned Sheridan College, 25-year-old Lucy Liu shared her plight in an open letter to the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in collaboration with her student union, who are supporting her.  READ MORE...

Durham Report

When special counsel John Durham finishes his investigation into the origins of the Trump–Russia probe, his report will likely be made public, a Department of Justice official suggested in a newly released letter.

Durham is investigating the department’s counterintelligence operation against the 2016 Trump campaign and associates, which was riddled with errors and malfeasance.

The timeline for the probe to wrap up is unclear, but then-Attorney General William Barr indicated last year that the final report should be made public.

Noting that a confidential report on what the investigation found will be produced as required by law, Durham “to the maximum extent possible and consistent with the law and policies and practices of the Department of Justice, shall submit to the Attorney General a final report, and such interim reports as he deems appropriate, in a form that will permit public dissemination,” Barr wrote in an October 2020 order.

Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) pressed the DOJ in a recent letter over the hiring of Susan Hennessey, who has described the Durham probe as “partisan silliness,” to work in the National Security Division. They asked if she was involved at all with the Durham probe and asked when the investigation will be completed and whether the current administration agrees with Barr’s order on public dissemination.

In response, Joe Gaeta, deputy assistant attorney general, defended the hiring of Hennessey and said she’s not involved with the probe, given that Durham is utilizing his own staff.  READ MORE
