Being deported back to China means you will be a candidate to supply body parts...for organ harvesting.

Why does an ancient Chinese prophecy still fascinate — and possibly unsettle — China’s leadership today? In this episode, we explore the mysterious 7th-century text Tui Bei Tu, a prophecy book long associated with dynastic collapse, political upheaval, and the fate of rulers. From Xi Jinping’s rumored interest in mysticism to modern interpretations involving Donald Trump, Zhang Youxia, and the CCP’s internal power struggles, we examine why this ancient prophecy has resurfaced at the center of today’s geopolitical tensions. And with Trump preparing for a highly watched upcoming visit to Beijing, some Chinese observers believe the symbolism surrounding these prophecies is becoming even harder to ignore. Is it superstition, political psychology, or something deeper?

The homeless crisis in california has reached a breaking point, and one city surprisingly has decided to rebel against a status quo that does not help those in need, and is shutting that system down while finally offering the less fortunate a helping hand..

The reason why the socialist-democrats allow their homeless population to grow and get out of control while keeping them permanently homeless and concentrated in certain cities is so that they can mobilize signatures to get on the ballot through unlawful transactions. Keeping them homeless allows them to raid the federal government for funds in the millions of dollars to create ghost programs without actually helping the homeless. Then they ban voter ID because they depend on paying homeless people and undocumented illegal migrants to cast fake votes on behalf of absentee voters to rig our democratic elections just like how the CCP interferes in the Hong Kong elections. Mr. Newsom needs to go to jail for banning voter ID while the law to ban investigative journalism in California aka the "Stop Nick Shirley Act" is pending approval not by the CCP but from our own communist party leader: Mr. Gavin Newsom.

Paid signature gatherers are operating inside homeless encampments in San Francisco to collect ballot petition signatures for California's November 2026 propositions. Video evidence captured on the street shows signers being offered payment and instructed by gatherers to use other people's names and addresses, and the operation was still running the next day at a different location. When something goes wrong at street level, who is actually responsible?

I’ve lived in Honolulu for 18 years now, longer than anywhere else. When I look around and reflect on the experience I’ve had in the past year in Chinatown, there are some amazing, wonderful things you don’t see anywhere else. The open-air markets, fish markets, the produce you can’t get at grocery stores. And the people. Honolulu and Hawai‘i are celebrated as being multicultural. You really see that coming together in Chinatown.

Why do historical records never vilify Great Britain's moral standing for causing this opium addiction epidemic?

[timesofsandiego.com]

Reporting in the San Diego Union described opium dens in moralized terms, emphasizing secrecy, darkness, and social concern. These portrayals reflected broader patterns across California during the period, when Chinese neighborhoods were often viewed through a lens shaped by racial tension and political pressure as much as direct observation.

Legal response followed that shift. In 1872, California enacted one of the first laws in the United States targeting opium dens specifically, prohibiting establishments where opium was smoked.

Too foreign for America. Too American for Asia. Never enough for anyone. This is the raw, unfiltered deep dive into the painful reality that no one wants to talk about: why everyone is racist to Asian Americans—including other Asians. From white Americans telling us to "go back to your country" even when we were born in Ohio, to Asians from Asia mocking our accents and calling us "white washed" or "bananas" for not being culturally pure enough, Asian Americans exist in a no-man's land of identity where no one claims us and everyone rejects us. This video unpacks the double rejection, the intra-Asian racism that happens at family gatherings and on social media, the model minority myth that weaponizes our success to silence our pain, and the psychological cost of belonging nowhere. We explore why Asian Americans are asked "where are you really from" by white people and told "you're not really Asian" by people who share our blood. We examine the gatekeeping, the accent mocking, the cultural authenticity tests, and the loneliness of being caught between two worlds that both refuse to accept you. If you have ever been called a "Twinkie" or a "banana," if you have ever been told you're "too American" by your relatives and "too foreign" by your neighbors, if you have ever felt like you belong nowhere, this is the breakdown you need to watch. You are not alone. You are not too Asian. You are not too American. You are exactly enough. And it is time the world finally sees you.

Re: There is a new route to flee persecution from autocratic regimes and file for political asylum in the US 05/10/2026 by ♭♫ [+-]

It would be better to sneak into Spain than to the USA for political asylum. Desperation leads to poor decisions.
