Larry Summers Goes Into Hiding; Messages Sought Epstein’s Advice On Cheating With Daughter Of CCP Official
In the latest blow to Democrats from the recent ‘Epstein files’ released by House Republicans, former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers announced that he’s stepping back from public commitments after new documents reveal he was asking for Jeffrey Epstein’s advice on how to bang a female mentee behind his wife’s back.
Summers – who was Bill Clinton’s Treasury Secretary and later president of Harvard University, repeatedly messaged Epstein about a woman codenamed “peril” in 2018 and 2019.
In one January 2019 text exchange, Summers told Epstein that the woman was unlikely to leave him due to his position of power and the professional connections that might come with it – to which Epstein replied, “She is doomed to be with you.”
“Think for now I’m going nowhere with her except economics mentor,” Summers wrote in November 2018. “I think I’m right now in the seen very warmly in rear view mirror category.”

Anti-ICE Rioting, Bomb and Death Threats Lead Chicago-Area Officials to Impose ‘Civil Emergency Order’
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today called out sanctuary politicians in and around Chicago, after officials in nearby Broadview, Illinois had to declare a “Civil Emergency” in the wake of injuries to local and state police, a death threat against the village mayor, and a bomb threat against a municipal building.
“For well over a month, rioters have attacked the Broadview field office and Illinois streets,” said a senior DHS official. “They have created serious public safety and officer safety threats: assaulting law enforcement, attacking law enforcement with vehicles, throwing tear gas cans, slashing tires, getting arrested with firearms in their possession, blocking the entrance of the building, and trespassing on private property.
“Now, local officials were forced to declare a ‘Civil Emergency’ given police injuries, a death threat, and a bomb threat.

ICE Launches Mass Operation to Track Unaccompanied Migrant Children
For years, countless human and sex traffickers ran amuck, taking advantage of former President Joe Biden’s open border policies, leaving behind a dark legacy of abused children.
But now, the Trump administration is taking “a sledgehammer to human trafficking rings and ensuring these children who were smuggled across the border are not being abused,” according to the Department of Homeland Security.
“Secretary Noem is leading efforts to rescue and stop the exploitation of the 450,000 unaccompanied children the Biden administration lost or placed with unvetted sponsors. Many of the children who came across the border unaccompanied were allowed to be placed with sponsors who were smugglers and sex traffickers,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin

George Soros Gave $250K to British Group Working To Censor Conservative News Sites and ‘Kill Musk’s Twitter’
The left-wing philanthropy funded by George Soros, Open Society Foundations (OSF), bankrolls a British nonprofit that works to censor conservative news websites and social media companies, including through a plot to “kill” Elon Musk’s X by pressuring advertisers and investors to boycott the company.
OSF gave $250,000 last year to the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) for “general support,” according to the Soros charity’s grant database. The CCDH, under the guise of stopping “the spread of online hate and disinformation,” has pressured social media companies’ investors and advertisers to censor supposed “disinformation” or other content it deems to be offensive.
The organization, founded by former Labour Party operative Imran Ahmed in 2018, has also pressured tech companies to pull advertisements from the conservative websites the Federalist and the Daily Wire over allegedly racist content.

Why is the BBC denying the persecution of Nigeria’s Christians? – Western media have become apologists for violent Islamists.
Earlier this month, US president Donald Trump condemned Nigeria over the violent persecution of its Christian minority by Islamist groups like Boko Haram, Fulani militants and other violent actors. Trump called Nigeria a ‘country of particular concern’, and he is not alone. This weekend, Pope Leo XIV picked out Nigeria as a nation in which Christians are being persecuted.
They’re right to be concerned. Getting a handle on the specific numbers of Christians affected is difficult. But according to a report issued in August by the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law (Intersociety), an African nongovernmental group that documents human-rights violations, more than 7,000 Christians were killed in Nigeria in the first seven months of this year alone. Furthermore, Intersociety estimates that, between 2009 and 2023, at least 52,000 Christians have been killed and 18,500 have been abducted and are unlikely to have survived. Additionally, more than 20,000 churches and Christian schools have been attacked.
You would think that reports of the large-scale persecution and slaughter of Christians in Nigeria would have piqued the interest of Western media. But …

Does it really matter if they’re also killing non-Christians along with the thousands of Christians they’re slaying and churches they’re attacking? It must be stopped somehow. Even if we’re not in it alone, we’re definitely in it!
