Joe Biden's administration has put a significant focus, while in the White House, on diversity. There are agendas involved, such as "DEI," or diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Derided by critics as a "wokeness" ideology, it nonetheless has impacted government, business, and academia.

Now his political party is insisting on collecting information about the race and sex of American broadcasters, And then turning that over to activists who would use it to "bully" broadcasting corporations.

The details – and condemnation of the plan – comes in a house editorial from the Washington Examiner.

"Should every employer in the United States be forced to report the race and gender of their employees to the federal government, and then should the federal government post that information publicly?" the commentary wonders.

It points out that Democrats Joe Biden appointed to the Federal Communications Commission are demanding just that, for television and radio employers.

"Last week, the FCC voted 3-2 on party lines to issue a new order forcing all television and radio stations to submit a form annually to the agency identifying the race and gender of employees. Although these data are allowed to be collected by law, the FCC has not required broadcasters to submit it for the past 20 years. No one disputes that over that time, the broadcast industry has become more diverse."

Now, the FCC is not only demanding that information but "intends" to make it public, "identifying employees by name."

"The FCC justifies this by claiming it will allow 'third-party testing of the accuracy' of the information submitted. However, the FCC does not say how third parties will verify the data. It also claims posting data on specific stations is necessary to bolster 'our ability to conduct analyses of trends across different communications sectors.' This is a non sequitur. The FCC can analyze the data without making them public."

The Examiner revealed the "real reason" for the campaign: That would be to "help third parties bully and harass employers whose hiring they deem insufficiently diverse. Activist groups boast that this is what they would do with the data."

Republican FCC Commissioner Brandon Carr warned, "The record makes clear that the FCC is choosing to publish these scorecards for one and only one reason: to ensure that individual businesses are targeted and pressured into making decisions based on race and gender."

The commentary did note that federal courts already have killed two similar "FCC schemes" to help activists pressure employers, and said the new order also will be "struck down."

That does not, however, "excuse the Biden administration for again using the immense power of the federal government to divide the nation by race. When he was elected, Biden promised to be 'a president who seeks not to divide, but unify.' Forcing employers to divide and count staff by race and then publicly posting those data can only lead to mistrust and division."

The problems facing America because of Joe Biden's deliberate decision to open its borders and allow millions of illegal aliens to enter mostly focused on the southern boundary with Mexico.

There, illegals from Mexico, and indeed many parts of the world, have arrived. The crowds have included, without doubt, some terrorists.

A coalition of Democrats in the U.S. House, led by self-proclaimed atheist Rep. Jared Huffman, has written to Speaker Mike Johnson to express members' rage over a Christian pastor's recent House invocation, and to express their intolerance for his views.

It was Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel in Chino Hills who had been invited to deliver the invocation and, as a Christian, spoke of a "coming day of judgment."

Democrats responded by claiming Hibbs is a "radical Christian Nationalist who helped fuel the January 6th insurrection and [who] has a long record of hateful vitriol toward non-Christians, immigrants, and members of the LGBTQ community."

The report explained the Democrats told Johnson, who had invited Hibbs, that Hibbs' reference to "national sins" offended them.

They claimed that the reference was a link to "the militant and fanatical agenda [Hibbs} preaches about the LGBTQ+ community, Jews, Muslims, and anyone who conflicts with his 'biblical worldview.'"

Hibbs suggested to the Times that Huffman was on thin ice with his unsupported claims that Hibbs was linked to the Jan. 6, 2021, events at the Capitol, which were a protest-turned-riot, not an insurrection.

Hibbs said he would challenge Huffman "to produce any connection I have with January 6 because I do take that as a slanderous statement."

He confirmed he had "nothing" to do with those events.

Democrats repeatedly have attacked those members of the Christian community who adhere to biblical teachings on a variety of topics. Right now, because Joe Biden is promoting abortion and transgenderism worldwide, those issues are getting the attention of leftists, and those making statements opposing that agenda are attacked.

The report noted Hibbs' church, which is large, has been in a bull's-eye for years already because it follows biblical admonitions for same-sex marriage and such.

A transcript of the 250-plus word prayer reveals the portion Democrats hate was: "Hear my cry in this hour of great need that we might be humbly blessed before You in repentance of our national sins."

They also complained that they have been unsuccessful in trying to invite Dan Barker, of the "Freedom from Religion Foundation," to deliver an invocation.

Already, America is under attack from China, according to a new report.

For example, authorities near Fresno, California, found a secret Chinese biological weapons lab containing pathogens like Ebola. There, mice were being genetically engineered to spread diseases.

Further, Chinese agents could gun down Americans, bomb power stations, attack military bases, start wildfires, poison reservoirs, and more.

China expert Gordon Chang, in a report at The Gatestone Institute, where he is a distinguished senior fellow, explained such schemes "come straight out of Unrestricted Warfare, a 1999 book written by two Chinese air force colonels and first published by the PLA Literature and Arts Publishing House in Beijing."

Chang warned, "The colonels argued that China can and should employ any tactic in attacking a militarily superior United States. Now, Americans can see how Beijing is operationalizing the suggestions in this how-to manual."

He cited a video posted on social media showing Chinese migrants firing pistols. Another shows a Chinese woman with a sniper rifle.

"There is no Second Amendment in China, and Chinese citizens are not permitted to possess firearms. So is it possible that the shooters in the videos are merely taking advantage of a new-found freedom in their new home country?" he wondered.

But he pointed out one migrant appearing on screen "was in America for only three weeks and arrived in the country with no money and no identification."

"If you had just landed somewhere as a migrant with nothing to your name, you would undoubtedly be preoccupied with finding your next meal, getting a place to live, and making a livelihood. You would not, within weeks of entering your new homeland, be sharpening your skills to kill," he said.

Unless, of course, he explained ominously, "that is what you came to do."

He noted Blaine Holt, a retired Air Force general living in Idaho, has confirmed Chinese migrants are using locations in his state for target practice.

"Tens of thousands of military-age men have come across our border and are now in America, organized by group and nationality," Holt told Gatestone. "Among them are terrorist and state actors, in particular, members of the People's Liberation Army of China. As we speak, these actors are training, making plans and obtaining weapons, watching our patterns, and learning our vulnerabilities."

Chang points out that already confirmed among the "hordes" of illegal aliens crossing into the U.S. from Mexico have been "dangerous-looking elements" including from China.

They raise eyebrows because they are men of military age and are "'traveling in packs of five to fifteen." They have no family members with them and they "are pretending not to speak English."

"Some of them, on their way to America, have performed Chinese military rituals," he said.

Their sheer numbers have alarmed U.S. officials and there's the possibility that members of the Chinese Communist Party are present.

Chang warns, "China's Communist Party is at this moment putting in place the infrastructure in America to attack America."

"What are these guys doing here?" Holt demanded. "They are coming here to kill us."

It was only a few months ago that Chang also warned that Chinese "shock troops" already are inside the United States.

He wrote, at the time, "Once here, the military fighters can link up with China's agents already in place or Chinese diplomats."

He estimated their numbers already had 5,000 to 10,000.

And his warning included that in Joe Biden's America, his programs allow such illegals simply to be "released."

Joe Biden, after America's staunch Middle East ally Israel was attacked by Hamas terrorists last Oct. 7, emphasized the nation is standing with Israel in its war on terrorism.

But the statements quickly faded and Biden more and more has been giving Israel, through Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, instructions on what it should be doing.

Withdraw from one region, making accommodations for civilians in another, allowing more time, providing more resources, and much more, Biden's instructions have insisted.

But Israeli leaders aren't necessarily at his beck and call, and he's finding that frustrating.

Just in the last few days, Biden had objected to a planned Israeli military operation in Rafah, in southern Gaza, instructing Netanyahu that no plan should go ahead without a "credible" plan for protecting a million people "sheltering" there.

A "senior administration" official told reporters some 1.3 million people are in the city who have "dire humanitarian needs."

Israel's goal has been to accelerate operations so that there is a path to its goal of eliminating the terror threat that Hamas provides.

Biden officials have warned that Israel's plans are too much and more attention must be paid to Biden's desires for progress on a cease-fire and a way to halt the shooting entirely.

Now the Daily Caller reports Biden is losing what patience he had, and has been delivering angry and insulting outbursts against Netanyahu.

The report said three sources told NBC that Biden reportedly has been calling Netanyahu an "a******" in various conversations.

As the Israel-Hamas war rages on in the Middle East, Biden has been "venting" against Netanyahu because Israel has not been following Biden's instructions as he wants, the report said.

Biden has been under pressure from antisemitic individuals and groups around the globe, including in Congress and the State Department, to reduce or eliminate support for Israel.

Subsequently, Biden's characterizations have changed, and recently he called Israel's work "over the top."

A White House spokesperson claimed then that the president's position "hasn't changed."

WND previously reported on Biden's foul-mouthed outbursts, including those against President Trump.

It was then Biden called the Israeli leader, a "bad f***ing guy," according to Biden.

It was the Jerusalem Post that cited a column from Politico that described Biden's egregious actions.

The name-calling happened in a private conversation, the report said.

Biden's White House denied it.

In traditional conflicts, one nation preparing for an attack on another distributes soldiers, weapons, munitions, communications equipment, and the like to regions where it is expected to be helpful.

But battle operations and strategies have changed these days, and now a top U.S. intelligence organization is warning that China's Communist regime is installing "malware" in key U.S. systems in preparation for the chance that there will be a major conflict.

"A Feb. 7 advisory released by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) seeks 'to warn critical infrastructure organizations' about China’s attempts to infiltrate, disrupt, and destroy vital U.S. facilities," explained a report in the Epoch Times.

The agency warned, "[Chinese] state-sponsored cyber actors are seeking to pre-position themselves on IT networks for disruptive or destructive cyberattacks against U.S. critical infrastructure in the event of a major crisis or conflict with the United States."

That threatening computer code would be intended "to launch destructive cyber-attacks that would jeopardize the physical safety of Americans and impede military readiness," the agency warning said.

Just last week intelligence experts confirmed the U.S. already had removed Chinese malware from more than 600 computer systems linked to "critical U.S. infrastructure, the report said.

The infiltration schemes are operating daily, said Eric Goldstein, CISA’s executive assistant director for cybersecurity.

And he warned it's not a "theoretical" threat.

"It is based on confirmed intrusions to U.S. critical infrastructure. And we know that what we have found is the tip of the iceberg."

The campaigns are a change from the intellectual property theft and espionage agendas China has operated against the U.S. for years, he said.

Now, the focus is more on causing physical harm and panic.

"It is worth noting that the information that we are releasing with this advisory is reflecting a strategic shift in [China’s] malicious cyber activity from a focus on espionage and IP theft to pre-positioning for future disruptive or destructive attacks,” he confirmed. "Our evidence strongly suggests that the [China-based] actors are pre-positioning to launch future disruptive or destructive cyber attacks that could cause impacts to national security, economic security, or public health and safety."

The report noted Cynthia Kaiser, from the cyber division at the FBI, said those "malign" groups hide by blending into existing infrastructure operations and credentialing.

Already, what has been dubbed the Volt Typhoon botnet has been uncovered, and blocked in many operations.

In Chicago, it's Kimberly Foxx and the dollar total is $2.8 million. In Orlando, Florida, it's Monique Worrell and the dollar total is $1.8 million. In Los Angeles, it's George Gascon and the dollar total is $6 million.

These are just a few of the names – and dollar totals – of "pro-criminal and anti-police" prosecutors who have been hand-picked – and liberally funded by leftist billionaire George Soros.

It is the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund that has created and posted online its "Follow the Money: Mapping Soros Prosecutor Funding."

The organization explains, "Over the past decade, billionaire George Soros has spent at least $50 million* to elect scores of 'social justice' prosecutors across the country. These district attorneys, who represent over 70 million people or more than 1 in 5 Americans, often pursue pro-criminal and anti-police policies. This report tracks Soros Prosecutors’ funding, affiliations, and actions."

Those benefiting from Soros' extreme left agenda include Stephanie Morales, Scott Colom, Kimberly Graham, Shalena Cook Jones, Jody Owens, Mike Schmidt, Brian Middleton, Diana Becton, and many more.

They "prosecute" cases in most major cities, Portland, Ore., Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis, Jackson, Dallas, San Antonio, Orlando, Savannah, Philadelphia and more.

The website links to reports of various egregious situations that have developed, courtesy of Soros' financial backing of extremists.

One example was the Washington, D.C., conviction of second-degree murder for police officer Terrence Sutton.

His conviction was for the 2020 death of Karon Hylton-Brown.

The documentation shows, "But Sutton, a 13-year police veteran, did not strike, shoot, harm, or even touch Hylton. Hylton died after exiting a blind alley on a motorized scooter and being struck by a passing civilian vehicle. He had multiple drugs in his system. He ran through stop signs and red lights in the minutes before he drove into oncoming traffic. Sutton followed Hylton at a moderate speed, averaging 30 miles per hour."

The documentation reports that violated the department policy of "no chase."

Further, the site reports, "The pursuing officers believed that Hylton—a member of the violent Kennedy Street drug gang with previous arrests for drugs, illegal gun possession, and assaults on police officers—was on his way to retaliate against a rival gang member over a debt. At the request of federal prosecutors, the court blocked the jury from hearing about Hylton’s membership in the Kennedy Street crew, which was under Justice Department investigation at the time and whose other members would later be indicted for murder, drug trafficking, and racketeering. The jury also never heard that Hylton was wearing an ankle monitor for a violent assault in Montgomery County, Maryland, and had thousands of dollars in cash strapped to his body."

The Washington Examiner reports the newest work by the Defense Fund is "building on its project to identify Soros-funded prosecutors."

The report explained, "In March 2023, the group released its bare-bones map of where the Soros prosecutors are located. Wednesday’s map provides more details on the highest-profile favorites of the Soros organization."

For months while the COVID-19 virus, which came out of a Chinese lab experimenting on making those health threats more dangerous, circled the globe and killed millions, science journals adopted a uniform talking point: Get the shots!

That, according to a new report, now has changed, with the publication in the Springer Nature medical journal Cureus, a sibling of Nature and Scientific American, a peer-reviewed paper by mRNA shot critics.

It reveals that the results from the shots are not all good.

They can be bad.

Longtime COVID shot skeptic Steve Kirsch posted online: "People have said I'm a misinformation spreader because, since May 2021, I have been publicly saying the COVID vaccines are not safe. Now the medical peer-reviewed literature shows I was right."

A report in Just the News points out that mainstream science and medical journals for months, even years, suppressed doubts and concerns about the shots, for which manufacturers were paid billions.

The federal government, led by COVID-shot cheerleader Anthony Fauci, worked to suppress valid evidence undermining the promotion of those shots.

The new article lends support to the idea of a global moratorium on those shots.

Just the News said, "The feds have struggled to keep interest high in each new formulation of the COVID vaccines, with fewer than 12% of minors, 22% of adults, and just 41% of those 65 and up taking the 2023-2024 vaccines, according to the latest weekly National Immunization Survey."

The Cureus paper notes that while early promotions of Pfizer's shot trials suggested they "could greatly reduce COVID-19 symptoms," a further review "identified statistically significant increases" in "serious adverse events."

"The risk-benefit imbalance substantiated by the evidence to date contraindicates further booster injections and suggests that, at a minimum, the mRNA injections should be removed from the childhood immunization program until proper safety and toxicological studies are conducted," the paper warns.

The authors continued, explaining U.S. approval of the shots "on a blanket-coverage population-wide basis had no support from an honest assessment of all relevant registrational data and commensurate consideration of risks versus benefits."

Authors include cardiologist Peter McCullough, MIT senior research scientist Stephanie Seneff, vaccine researcher Jessica Rose, and tech entrepreneur and Vaccine Safety Research Foundation founder Steve Kirsch, a philanthropist once courted by Democratic presidential hopefuls.

The documentation even shows that while the CDC had prepared an "alert" about the stunningly high cases of post-shot myocarditis, it then canceled the warning to consumers "apparently out of fear of spooking the public, according to The Epoch Times, which posted a 1,433-page batch of heavily redacted emails it obtained," the report explained.

That suppression of valid health warning information, according to Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., amounted to "malpractice."

Also of concern are reports that cancer cases are rising among those given the shots, with six of the top 10 cancers on the rise.

The warning signs about trouble with the COVID shots have been on the radar for those interested for some time already, with multiple experts warning about heart problems and more that followed the shots.

WND recently reported that Kirsch released a Substack report that charges there’s no doubt that the COVID shots “CAUSE dementia.”

The shots, by Pfizer and others, were developed at a breathtaking pace with government funding when the deadly COVID virus came out of a Chinese research lab that was working to make viruses worse.

They were inflicted on the American public without ordinary trials or tests, often by corporate or government mandate, and the side effects, including tens of thousands of deaths, have been mounting since.

Kirsch explained that he reviewed data on the government’s National Vaccine Information Center and confirmed hundreds of cases of the virus “where [a] symptom is dementia.”

He explained, “There is [no way] that you can have a 1,000X increase in event reports if the COVID vaccine isn’t causing this. The CDC simply ‘forgot’ to warn people about it.”

The COVID shots can be described as DNA treatment more accurately than a vaccine.

”The results are self-explanatory: the COVID vaccines cause dementia,” he charged. “Anyone who tells you ‘correlation isn’t causation’ should explain the actual cause of this if it wasn’t the COVID vaccine.”

Kirsch long has been known as a COVID shot skeptic. Online, he’s blasted as a “promoter of misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines,” but the critics don’t document his “misinformation.”

What they show is he raised questions about the government’s talking points about COVID and those shots, which have been known to produce side effects like sudden collapse and death, heart problems, and more.

Kirsch’s influence comes from his founding of multiple companies and his development of the optical mouse.

Even his online detractors concede he’s been a prominent philanthropic supporter of medical research.

Democrats for several years already have used "lawfare" against their opponents, a scheme that includes going to court over any perceived criticism.

It's also included using leftist prosecutors and judicial districts to bring both criminal and civil cases against Republicans, specifically President Donald Trump.

Democrats for several years already have used "lawfare" against their opponents, a scheme that includes going to court over any perceived criticism.

It's also included using leftist prosecutors and judicial districts to bring both criminal and civil cases against Republicans, specifically President Donald Trump.

Now that campaign is being expanded, according to a new report in the Federalist, and it involves filing bar association and other complaints against lawyers who represent clients opposing the Democrats.

The campaign, the report said, involves filing "ethics and even criminal complaints against lawyers who opposed Democrats in election litigation."

Now, the report said, they're going after any lawyer who crosses a Democrat "on any policy area."

"Their most sweeping goal is to discourage and chill lawyers from representing Republicans and conservatives, particularly in election law cases. They want to apply a much higher standard to them to punish them," explained Jim Bopp Jr., who recently won a case brought against him for representing Wisconsin Special Counsel Michael Gableman over his 2020 investigation that unearthed "widespread election fraud."

Threatening lawyers can lead to an advantage for Democrats in court, and in elections if they are the only side with "high-quality legal" teams.

"Most notorious, of course, is former President Donald Trump’s difficulties securing counsel to defend against the multiple lawsuits attempting to bankrupt him and ban voters from selecting him on the ballot," the report charged.

Targets identified in the report include former Attorney General William Barr, his former deputy Jeff Clark, Trump election adviser John Eastman, and local lawyers with no national profile such as Janet Angus in Wisconsin and an Arizona prosecutor who wouldn’t let rioters off the hook.

Democrats even used this tactic against prominent judges, including Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, the report said.

Ongoing war fronts include the Texas Bar Association barrage of complaints against Attorney General Ken Paxton and three lawyers in Arizona who contested chaotic election procedures in 2020.

In Washington, the agenda has deprived "many" of the 1,265 Americans charged for the January 6, 2021, riot of "competent" counsel.

The report explained half of current Republican attorneys general have faced discipline complaints, most relating to 2020 election litigation.

Such complaints not only threaten a lawyer’s license to practice but also impose legal fees and paperwork burdens. "Lengthy complaints can take 'an enormous psychological toll on people,'" Shalom Stone, a legal ethics expert, told the Federalist.

David Brock, an adviser to the leftist The 65 Project, bluntly has boasted of the 100 lawyers his organization has targeted, seeking to "shame them and make them toxic in their communities and their firms. … You’re threatening their livelihood."

Bopp said the "chill factor" is real, pointing out that many state Supreme Courts now are controlled by "hardcore leftists."

One such court, in Colorado, simply decided to remove Trump from the state's 2024 ballot, ruling essentially without evidence.

The money goes in one direction, too, the report said.

"In the 2020 election cycle, 81 percent of donations from lawyers and legal associations went to Democrats, according to OpenSecrets.org. Since non-leftist lawyers are already a minority in the profession, bankrupting and harassing them means working to eliminate Democrats’ legal opponents.

"Large law firms that donate tens of millions of dollars almost entirely to Democrats rake in tax dollars through legal contracts from red states, says a 2022 Alliance for Consumers report. The report also noted that from 2017-2020, eight large law firms put more money into Democrat coffers than the world’s largest asset management firm, Blackrock."

Joe Biden's press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, is coming under heavy fire for her comments indicating the U.S. troops killed in a drone attack in Jordan near the Syrian border "were fighting on behalf of this administration."

Her comments came Monday morning on MSNBC, as she reacted to the tragedy: "What I will say, our deepest, obviously our deepest condolences go out, and our heartfelt condolences go out to the families who lost three folks who are military folks who are brave who are always fighting, who were fighting on behalf of this administration, of the American people more so, more importantly ..."
