Things Worth Considering 2

This is a big deal but our corrupt mainstream media is silent. Maybe even culpable. Quote: "You may not be familiar with the Epoch Times.  That is because their approach to journalism is inconsistent with the one-sided left-wing propaganda narratives put out by the cabal of elitist east coast news outlets.  The Epoch Times is one of those news sources that is targeted by the communication industry’s cancel culture – from the mainstream press to the social media giants. You may be surprised to know that the Epoch Times is a giant media service that has been around for decades. It is published in 22 languages in 36 different countries.  In addition to the newspaper, they have online editions and broadcast platforms.  The Chinese editions of the Epoch Times are among the largest Chinese language publications in the world. The publication gained credibility with the Chinese public for its accurate reporting on the 2003 SARS epidemic in China. It provided life-saving accurate information in conflict with the Communist propaganda at the time. ONE OF THE CHINESE EDITIONS OF THE TIMES HAS BEEN A PRIMARY SOURCE OF NEWS IN HONG KONG FOR YEARS. They have been a favorite of the democracy movement in China’s island province.  As a result, the Epoch Times has been the target of Communist harassment, vandalism and prosecution on an ongoing basis. 
       BUT NONE OF THOSE COMPARED TO WHAT HAPPENED ON MONDAY, APRIL 12, 2021. Four thugs broke into the headquarters of the news outlet. They intimidated employees and used sledgehammers and other devices to destroy presses, computers and other equipment. This essentially put the newspaper out of business for the time being.  The owners and managers of the Times have promised to have their news service in Hong Kong back in operation in a matter of weeks. Police claim the attack was the result of the Epoch Times not paying past debts.  That was the official Communist version.  There were never any outstanding obligations on the part of the Times. There is also no evidence of any collection efforts. And even if there were outstanding debts, such gross vandalism is not a normal collection procedure. THE MEDIA IS SILENT.  Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the harassment of the Epoch Times – and the attack on April 12 – has been the silence of the Big Seven left-wing news outlets (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, New York Times and Washington Post) — as well as the rest of the elitist so-called news platforms.  What happened to the Epoch Times a few days ago is a BIG story. But the refusal of the left-wing media and the Biden administration to acknowledge and deal with it is an even BIGGER story."     China Attacks The Epoch Times Headquarters - The Punching Bag Post

This is a problem Trump vigorously took on during his time in office. Many arrests were made and human trafficking systems shut down. The mainstream media was mostly silent obviously not wanting to give any credit to Trump for doing anything good. Well it seems that it is now becoming a problem for the Biden administration.  Quote: "The Existence Of This Child Sex Trafficking Ring Is Causing Joe Biden One Big Problem. Joe Biden’s scandals and missteps are piling up. But one stands above the rest. It’s the existence of this child sex trafficking ring is causing Joe Biden one big problem. As American Patriot Daily reports: A delegation of Republican congressmen headed to the southern border to highlight the catastrophe Joe Biden unleashed with his open borders policies and messaging. Freshman Congressman Burgess Owens blasted Biden for allowing child sex trafficking rings to flourish as smugglers and cartels exercise operational control over the southern border. Owens compared the trafficking occurring due to Biden’s neglect to the worst evils in human history. Owens railed on the administration blasting their inaction. “We can’t standby and let that happen. We have boys and girls as young as six or seven years old being pushed into sex trafficking,” Owens declared. Owens ripped Biden for causing this crisis by feeding the perception among illegal aliens that the border was open through his words and deeds. “President Biden should be ashamed of himself. Ashamed. This was preventable,” Owens added that, “There are people suffering, going through misery because they were given false hope.” Throughout the campaign Biden promised a “humane” immigration system. Once in office Biden signed executive orders dismantling Donald Trump’s successful border policies such as ending the “Remain in Mexico” protocols and ending third party safe harbor agreements that forced illegal aliens to apply for asylum in third party nations before coming to the United States... But instead of taking action to put a stop to a dangerous situation where smugglers and coyotes are roping illegal alien children into sex trafficking rings, the Biden administration is paralyzed by its open borders’ ideology."    The Existence Of This Child Sex Trafficking Ring Is Causing Joe Biden One Big Problem – DC Dirt Sheet  ism is a departure from securing women’s rights to adopting leftist ideology."  
This is Florida's effort to thwart the political left's propensity to not prosecute rioters who commit crimes such as assault, arson, destruction of property and lootings following a police incident they want to exploit for their political purposes. Quote: "Rioting has become routine in America over the last year. At least one state is doing something about it. The Florida state GOP has advanced a bill that would ratchet up the penalties for civil unrest, the Washington Examiner reported. After a white police officer accidentally shot Daunte Wright, a black man, in Minnesota, the state has made a proactive move in anticipation of civil unrest.  The state legislature passed the bill with a 23-17 vote. Some of the proposed changes include stiffer penalties for crimes like burglary, vandalism, and assault and battery committed during civil unrest. Also, new crimes against “mob intimidation or defacing or damaging a memorial or historic property” will be created. The bill also grants civil legal immunity to drivers who are forced to advance through a roadblock of protestors and makes it more difficult for municipalities to defund police. In addition, people arrested while participating in the riot or committing a crime during it will not be permitted to post bail until after their first appearance in court...Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to sign the bill since he has been working on anti-riot measures since September. “Our right to peacefully assemble is one of our most cherished as Americans, but throughout the country, we’ve seen that right being taken advantage of by professional agitators, bent on sowing disorder and causing mayhem in our cities,” the Republican governor said at the time. “I will not allow this kind of violence to occur here in Florida.” 

        Predictably, Democratic state legislators don’t support the bill. State Sen. Jason Pizzo quoted the First Amendment during proceedings about the bill and said it was hard to define a riot. He also claimed it wasn’t fair to penalize a crime based on the setting. “It is a fact-specific circumstance on the scene,” Pizzo, a former prosecutor, reportedly said. There’s something wrong with riots becoming the default way to handle police shootings whenever there’s a white cop and a minority suspect involved. Democrats turn it into a battle cry as angry mobs burn down American cities regardless of the facts of the case. DeSantis is right to protect his constituents from the violence and mayhem the left is perfectly comfortable tolerating."     Florida GOP pushes controversial ‘riot bill’ through legislature – American Digest
