Russian FM Lavrov Arrives in Beijing as Chinese Growing Aid for Moscow in the Ukraine War Becomes a Major US Concern

Russia’s FM Sergei Lavrov and China’s FM Wang Yi.

In the context of the war in Ukraine and the widely expected Chinese invasion of Taiwan, the ever-growing partnership between Russia and China has the western world very worried.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has landed in China for strategic talks ‘on the war in Ukraine, the bilateral ties and the situation in the Asia-Pacific region’.

Reuters reported:

“The Russian foreign minister will talk with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on a series of “hot topics” that will also include joint cooperation in international organizations, such as the United Nations and the Group of 20 (G20), Moscow had said earlier.

Reuters reported last month that Russian President Vladimir Putin will travel to China in May for talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, in what could be the Kremlin chief’s first overseas trip of his new presidential term.”

Hit with an unprecedented amount of sanctions that closed access to Western markets and finances after the onset of the war in Ukraine, Russia has since become China’s fastest-growing trade partner.

“Xi, in a call with Putin last month, said both sides should resolutely oppose interference in domestic affairs by external forces, an apparent reference to the United States.

Chinese vice foreign minister Sun Weidong said bilateral ties were “at their best in history” when he met his Russian counterpart in Moscow last month, according to a Chinese foreign ministry readout.”

This visit comes as the US is warning allies that China has stepped up its support for the Russian campaign in Ukraine, including by providing geospatial intelligence.

Bloomberg reported:

“Amid signs of continued military integration between the two nations, China has provided Russia with satellite imagery for military purposes, as well as microelectronics and machine tools for tanks, according to people familiar with the matter.

China’s support also includes optics, propellants to be used in missiles and increased space cooperation, one of the people said.”

President Joe Biden raised these concerns with Xi Jinping during their call this week.

China’s support for the Russian defense industrial base, now include machine tools, optics, nitrocellulose, microelectronics, and turbojet engines.

“Beijing has sought to portray itself as mostly neutral in the face of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, now into its third year, yet it’s established a deep alliance with Moscow as part of what Xi and Vladimir Putin termed a “no limits” friendship ahead of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing.”

Bilateral trade has reached a record $240 billion in 2023.

“Crucially, China and Hong Kong have also become key gateways for Moscow to access restricted technologies, including chips and integrated circuits, used in weapons or needed to build them. The US and European Union have listed several Chinese firms for enabling those transfers, but the trade shows little sign of dropping off.”

JUST IN: Judge Denies Trump’s Last Minute Request to Delay Stormy Daniels ‘Hush Money’ Trial

A New York appellate judge on Monday evening denied Trump’s request to once again delay the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial set to begin April 15.

President Trump on Monday sued Juan Merchan, the far-left judge overseeing the Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ trial.

The lawsuit is currently under seal, but the court docket reveals Trump requested a change of venue and asked for a stay on the expanded gag order.

The appellate judge did not address Trump’s request for a change of venue or his request to stay the gag order.

The gag order motion will come on Tuesday.

CBS News reported:

An appellate judge Monday denied an 11th hour request by former President Donald Trump seeking to delay the start of the trial in his New York criminal case.

Trump has made multiple attempts to push back the trial, this time by suing the judge just one week before jury selection is scheduled to begin.

In a pair of sealed filings Monday, Trump asked an appellate court for a change of venue in the case and for a stay of a gag order that prevents Trump from commenting publicly on, among others, the judge’s daughter, who works for a Democrat-aligned consulting firm, according to a source familiar with the filings.

Associate Justice Lizbeth Gonzalez did not weigh in on either the change of venue or gag efforts in her brief Monday evening ruling denying a stay of the upcoming trial.

Judge Juan Merchan on Monday evening issued a letter explaining how he will be conducting jury selection.

Conservative PiS Party Is the Most Voted in Local Elections in Poland, in Major Defeat for Globalist PM Donald Tusk

The über Globalist and Eurofanatic Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk was handed a hard blow by the voters as the Conservative Nationalist opposition party Law and Justice (PiS) came first in Poland’s local government elections.

It amounts to a big setback for Tusk’s ambitions to solidify his grip on power.

Reuters reported:

“If confirmed, the results would dash Tusk’s hopes of leading his Civic Coalition (KO) grouping to first place in the election independently of its partners in the ruling alliance.”

While conservatives of PiS came in ahead of Tusk’s KO, it was not a complete victory, as it was still behind the ‘combined score’ of the three groupings that make up the coalition government.

“PiS scored 33.7%, according to the Ipsos exit poll, ahead of centrist KO, which had 31.9%. The other groupings in government, the Christian conservative Third Way and the Left scored 13.5% and 6.8% respectively.

‘The unsinkable PiS… However you look at it, it’s a substantial defeat for the image (of Tusk’s party)’, Krzysztof Izdebski, policy director at the Stefan Batory Foundation think-tank, wrote on X.”

This is yet another proof of how tenuous is Tusk’s grip on power, since he became Prime Minister in an election where, though his coalition got a majority, PiS was the most voted party.

Tusk promised to reverse what the globalist have called a ‘democratic backsliding’, but clear-thinking minds know to be just patriotic and anti-globalist policies against abortion, unchecked mass migration and ‘green’ climate alarmist European nonsense.

“Brussels is closely watching how Tusk’s coalition fares as it faces European Parliament elections in June, while Europe-wide opinion polls suggest the populist right will perform well.

Speaking shortly after exit polls were published, Tusk said his group’s failure to emerge on top was partly due to strong turnout in PiS heartlands in eastern Poland and throughout the countryside.”

Tusk’s party did well in Warsaw, where the incumbent mayor Rafal Trzaskowski secured re-election without having to go into a second round of voting.

Trzaskowski is the name KO wants to be the candidate for President in an election due next year.

The Presidency is key for Tusk’s ambitions to reform the judiciary and to diminish the influence of PiS’ conservative ideals on public life.

Biden Repeats One of His Favorite Lies During Announcement on New Plan to Cancel Student Loan Debt (VIDEO)

Joe Biden on Monday delivered remarks at Madison College Truax Campus on his new sweeping plan to cancel student loan debt.

Biden announced a new plan to erase up to $20,000 in interest per borrower for up to 25 million people in his latest vote-buying gimmick.

During his short, slurred speech, Biden repeated one of his favorite lies. He falsely claimed he was the first in his family to go to college.

“I, like an awful lot of people in this audience, was the first in my family to go to college,” Biden said.

This is a lie.

Biden was forced to admit it was a total lie.

WATCH LIVE: Marjorie Taylor Greene Holds District Town Hall with Constituents After Filing Motion to Vacate the Chair Against Speaker Mike Johnson

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is hosting a town hall to hear her constituents about the issues affecting them in Tunnel Hill, Georgia, tonight before she heads back to Washington, D.C., tomorrow.

I’m looking over some notes on my way to my District 14 Town Hall.

Hearing from my constituents before returning to Washington tomorrow morning is so important! pic.twitter.com/BSwzEFGToQ

It can be recalled that the Georgia Congresswoman filed a motion to vacate the chair and remove Mike Johnson as House Speaker thanks to his actions over the House Omnibus bill, which will fund the government until September 30.

The legislation passed by a 286-134 vote, achieving the necessary 2/3 vote to avoid a government shutdown. Democrats bailed out Johnson after over 100 members of his caucus rebelled.

During an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show on Wednesday, Greene expressed bewilderment at Johnson’s recent legislative decisions, which she argues starkly contrast with his proclaimed values and the expectations of his conservative base.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Speculates Speaker Johnson Is “Being Blackmailed” — “What Do They Have On Him?” (VIDEO

The more than 1,000-page spending bill was made public at 2:32 am on Thursday while Americans were asleep, which MTG says “violated the 72-hour rule” that requires the text of a bill or resolution to be available to members for at least 72 hours before a vote.

Not only did the bill leave our border wide open for Joe Biden and his dangerous illegal immigrants, but it also continued the practice of flying millions of illegals into and across the United States. It further allocates millions of dollars for abortions up until birth and for youth transgender or LGBTQ programs.

MTG told Tucker Carlson that Mike Johnson’s radical departure from his known conservative stances is what she believes is a result of “being blackmailed.”

MTG went off earlier today on Twitter, slamming Mike Johnson for being “the Democrat Speaker of the House” and for “serving the Deep State and betraying Americans!”

Our Republican Speaker of the House is upsetting many of our members by relying on Democrats to pass major bills and working with Dems by giving them everything they want.

That makes him the Democrat Speaker of the House not our Republican Speaker of the House. https://t.co/5P7I9QErRU

Are European Intelligence Services Conspiring Against the Right? – AfD Member Petr Bystron Is their Latest Target

We are all aware of the many allegations against Trump regarding a “Trump-Russia Collusion“. Now Europe is facing a strategically organized defamation campaign of even greater extent: NGOs with concealed ties to the state, governments and even intelligence services are collaborating to destroy all right-wing anti-globalist parties.

The latest victim of this epic scheme is Petr Bystron, spokesman on foreign affairs for the AfD (Germany’s right-wing opposition) and candidate in the German Bundestag: On March 28th, the Czech news platform Denik N revealed it had been informed that the Czech Security Information Service BIS (national intelligence agency) was in possession of a damning audio recording which proved that Bystron had been bribed by the pro-Russian network Voice of Europe. The day after, the SPIEGEL, a news outlet of the German mainstream media, confirmed the source. The SPIEGEL is well-known for its smear articles against right-wing politicians and influencers.

However, these allegations are indeed so serious that, if true, they put the integrity of the entire AfD into question.

Immediately, the heads of the party, D.r Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla, issued an ultimatum to Bystron, demanding a clear statement:

“To address all allegations conclusively and to respond appropriately from the Federal Executive Board of our party, you are requested to demand the Federal Spokespersons Dr. Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla to provide a written statement regarding the claims made against you by tomorrow, Thursday, April 4, 2024, at 2:00 PM.”

And he delivered.

In a now-public letter, he not only denied the allegations but provided a detailed explanation of the globalist motives behind this international defamation campaign:

“That this globalist campaign was launched in the Czech Republic is no coincidence. The government of Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala is among the strongest proponents of continuing the war in Ukraine, with the Czech arms industry being one of the biggest beneficiaries of the conflict worldwide. In the same session, the Czech government passed further sanctions against “Voice of Europe” and also approved additional ammunition purchases for Ukraine.”

Most importantly, both Bystron himself and Voice of Europe, the alleged secret Russian donor, insisted on the publication of the audio recording.

So where is it?

That… is kind of the problem. The BIS refuses to disclose the evidence. In fact, nobody outside of the BIS has ever seen or heard it. Not the media, not even the Czech government.

And yet, all national media platforms report on the scandal. Politicians from opposing parties are outraged. The vice president of the EU Commission announces: “I am convinced that what we know now is just the tip of the iceberg!”

What tip? There is not a single piece of evidence. Previous interview guests of Voice of Europe, such as Czech politician Svoboda, German politician Max Krahfeld and Italian European People’s Party lawmaker also confirmed that money was never mentioned.

“Of course not. What a question is this?” the latter told Politico. “It makes me laugh when you ask me if I got money from Russia … because I come from a very well-off family.”

There are no icebergs, just hot air – perfectly in accordance with the left’s climate alarmism.

But why would the Czech government be interested in the downfall of the AfD by discrediting Bystron?

In fact, there are many reasons: Bystron himself was born in the Czech Republic and has wielded great political influence there. In 2022, he gave an outstanding speech in Prague that moved over 100,000 people, The Gateway Pundit reported. “Freedom, freedom!” the crowd shouted back in approval.

Moreover, it is well known that the Czech government is extremely unpopular among its citizens. Largely due to its radical stance in favor of war against Russia.

The AfD has long been criticized for its “pro-Russia” views. To be fair, though, their stance is simply anti-war. Just recently, it was exposed that the German Bundeswehr had secretly planned to launch extremely destructive Taurus missiles against Russia. The AfD vehemently condemns this attack. The Gateway Pundit covered this topic.

Since Bystron’s response, AfD party leader Chrupalla has decided to let Bystron run as a candidate for the European election.

Now one can only hope that the BIS will not create a false audio recording with AI technology.

As Bystron has pointed out: This defamation campaign is no singular incident. It appears to be part of a collaborated effort to undermine the increasingly popular right-wing movements within Europe.

Michael Shellenberger recently shared his investigation into the topic on X.

Russia bribed politicians, EU officials claimed. But they provided no proof and made no arrests. And now, Public has learned, NGOs are working as front groups for Western military and intelligence agencies to spread disinformation and interfere, illegally, in European elections. pic.twitter.com/crpMN5imrC

— Michael Shellenberger (@shellenberger) April 5, 2024

There’s more: When the German newspaper ZEIT asked the spokesperson for the Czech Secret Service about the evidence, which he refused to show, the interview ended as follows:

“The BIS spokesperson did not want to disclose further details because it is an active case involving multiple European intelligence agencies.“

Interesting. So who else is in on this? Perhaps there is an iceberg beneath these false allegations after all?

Georgia Defendant Harrison Floyd Catches Fani Willis in a New Crime! – Gives Her Until Monday Afternoon to Recuse Herself From RICO Case or Face Charges!

Harrison Floyd, Marine veteran and leader of Black Voices for Trump.

Harrison Floyd, former leader of Black Voices for Trump and a defendant in Fani Willis’s lawfare suit against President Trump and his associates, caught Fulton County District Attorney committing another crime.

It is already widely known that Willis committed perjury when lying in court about the length of her affair with her lead prosecutor on the case, Nathan Wade. Both Willis and Wade lied about when their affair started in order to cover up that she hired him not on his talent or legal mind but because she could then work with the traffic attorney and pay him for his services in the Trump RICO case.

Wade was forced to resign from the case for committing the exact same crimes as his lover who is still overseeing the case against the former president. The legacy media has completely ignored Fani’s lawlessness as they cover this charade.

Now Harrison Floyd has caught Willis in another criminal act. Floyd alleged Willis illegally recorded a telephone call with his attorney in an unrelated criminal case in Maryland. Maryland is a two-party state, meaning both parties in an electronic discussion must give their permission to record the conversation.

Harrison Floyd pointed this out last week in his threat to Fani Willis.

Harrison wrote: “I don’t want to put a black woman in Jail. But if @FaniforDA (Fani Willis) does not recuse herself from this case by noon on Monday, I may have no other choice than to pursue all lawful remedies.
Make Fulton Great Again

I don’t want to put a black woman in Jail.

But if @FaniforDA does not recuse herself from this case by noon on Monday, I may have no other choice than to pursue all lawful remedies.

Make Fulton Great Again #FaniWillis #fultoncounty #corrupt #Georgia pic.twitter.com/D89OF3Bemq

— Harrison Floyd (@hw_floyd) April 5, 2024

Floyd included a copy of the state wiretap law that shows Maryland is a two-party state. Breaking this law could result in up to 5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine or both.

And Willis and her staff were stupid enough to admit they recorded the call in an article at the far-left Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Harrison Floyd is the only one of the RICO defendants to spend time in prison after his arrest.
Now it may be Fani’s turn.

UPDATE: Harrison Floyd released a statement on Monday afternoon. He has not made a decision yet on whether to file suit against the crooked DA.

Harrison Floyd: Last week, my attorney and I made it public that district Attorney Willis very likely violated the Maryland Wiretapping Act, which is a felony here in Maryland. As far as we are aware, DA Willis did not have a warrant, and the call was not made in furtherance of law enforcement because I was already in custody. She simply broke the law.

The truth is, DA Willis did not like the public backlash she was receiving, and over the course of multiple calls, she tried to find a way out of the mess that she created. She also made the claim that I denied a consent bond, which is a lie. The truth is simple and quite frankly, sad. DA Willis is blinded by her upbringing, which was deeply rooted in radical progressive ideology and racism. She has no problem weaponizing her skin or her office to further its aims. While my skin is also black, DA Willis identifies me as white and views me as a defender of white supremacist due to my political beliefs. Deep down, she wants to make me pay for what she feels is a betrayal to black culture. Her words and actions consistently demonstrate a hate for white people and a need to make this case about race.

She has disrespected Judge McCathy and defense attorneys because of the color of their skin. It’s racist and it’s wrong. After my attorneys finish working on the appeal Judge McCathy granted, we will bring a motion asking the court to exercise its judicial power on equal protection grounds because racism in any form is wrong. I, along with a lot of you, would like a speedy resolution.

However, this is more than likely going to take time due to the district attorney’s unprofessional, overly aggressive, and untruthful nature. Let me be clear that this is not an effort to delay justice or attack the district attorney because of her race or sex. It’s because she actually broke the law in the same manner she’s falsely accusing me of. Thank you, and I will see you back in Georgia.

WOKE “Body Positivity” Ideology Advocates for a DEADLY Lifestyle… But Why? | Beyond the Headlines

In recent years, there has been a growing – in more ways than one – movement surrounding “body positivity.” However, it’s interestingly not toward being “positive” about keeping a lean, healthy physique – but rather, obese and unhealthy. Are there more insidious, big corporate reasons for why this may be – or is it solely hubris and an unwillingness to take responsibility for one’s own bad decisions?

NASA Launches Three Rockets Around Solar Eclipse Path (VIDEO)

During the solar eclipse, NASA launched three sounding rockets into the Earth’s atmosphere on Monday afternoon.

NASA scientists launched the rockets to observe “disturbances in the ionosphere when the moon eclipses the sun.”

The first rocket was launched 45 minutes before the eclipse, the second rocket was launched during the eclipse, and the third rocket was launched 45 minutes after the eclipse occurred.

Per Fox 5 DC:

On Monday, April 8, NASA plans to launch three sounding rockets into the Earth’s upper atmosphere while the moon partially veils the sun’s luminous disk.

The Atmospheric Perturbations around Eclipse Path sounding rockets will blast off from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, just so scientists can study the disturbances in the ionosphere when the moon eclipses the sun.

As the earth spins around its axis, closer to Monday, April 8, anticipation is mounting in the nation’s capital for the celestial spectacle – the highly anticipated “Great North American Eclipse.”
There will be three different launch times: 45 minutes before the peak eclipse, during, and 45 minutes after. NASA states that the different intervals are pivotal for collecting data on how the sun’s sudden disappearance affects the ionosphere — which the space agency says could potentially interfere with our communications on Earth.

“Understanding the ionosphere and developing models to help us predict disturbances is crucial to making sure our increasingly communication-dependent world operates smoothly,” said Aroh Barjatya, a professor of engineering physics at Florida’s Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University campus.

Many residents of the East Coast were able to spot the rockets from their homes briefly.

JUST IN: Trump Sues Far-Left Judge Overseeing Stormy Daniels ‘Hush Payment’ Trial

President Trump on Monday sued Juan Merchan, the far-left judge overseeing the Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ trial.

The lawsuit is currently under seal, but the court docket reveals Trump requested a change of venue and asked for a stay on the expanded gag order.

President Trump last Friday filed a motion requesting that Judge Juan Merchan be recused because of his daughter’s political work.

The Stormy Daniels trial is set to begin April 15.

CBS News reported:

Former President Donald Trump is again seeking to delay the start of the trial in his New York criminal case, this time by suing the judge just one week before jury selection is scheduled to begin.

In a pair of sealed filings Monday, Trump asked an appellate court for a change of venue in the case and for a stay of a gag order that prevents Trump from commenting publicly on, among others, the judge’s daughter, who works for a Democrat-aligned consulting firm, according to a source familiar with the filings.

The documents are not public, but in an online court database, they appear under the headers “change of venue” and “stay.” Documents for an appeal related to a criminal proceeding are initially sealed while they’re reviewed for sensitive information.

President Trump on Saturday stared down the far-left New York judge overseeing the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial who hit him with an expanded gag order for criticizing his daughter.

Juan Merchan Monday night expanded Trump’s gag order and barred the former president from criticizing his family members.

The judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is a far-left political operative who worked for the Biden-Harris campaign. The media has infantilized 34-year-old Loren Merchan in an effort to attack Trump’s First Amendment-protected speech.

Loren Merchan’s firm, Authentic Campaigns, Inc., has received tens of millions of dollars from Democrats who want to take down Trump.

According to The New York Post, Loren Merchan helped Democrats raise $93 million off of her father’s case.

On Saturday Trump blasted Juan Merchan and the other crooked left-wing New York judges who have ruled against him in other lawfare cases in a series of Truth Social posts.

Trump threw down the gauntlet and blasted Judge Merchan.

President Trump said he will continue to tell the truth and will “gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela,” and is willing to “sacrifice my Freedom for that worthy cause.”

“Now, we have Merchan, who is not allowing me to talk, thereby violating the Law and the Constitution, all at once. It is so bad what he is trying to get away with – How was he even chosen for this case??? I heard he fought like hell to get it, and all of the rest of them also! If this Partisan Hack wants to put me in the “clink” for speaking the open and obvious TRUTH, I will gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela – It will be my GREAT HONOR. We have to Save our Country from these Political Operatives masquerading as Prosecutors and Judges, and I am willing to sacrifice my Freedom for that worthy cause. We are a Failing Nation, but on November 5th, we will become a Great Nation again. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump said on Truth Social.
