Liberty Nation: Wichita Police Calm Illegal Aliens Upset by Human Smuggling Law
Wichita, Kansas police officials have pledged to provide security to illegal aliens despite increasing concern and frustration over illegal immigration in America. Police Chief Joe Sullivan promised only to intervene when human smuggling crimes are present or reported, while Wichita Democrat Mayor Brandon Whipple argued that illegal aliens are entitled to being served by the city government of Wichita. The state's Democrat governor also recently vetoed a bill for tackling human smugglers, claiming it poses a threat to illegal aliens. The actions of Wichita's police chiefs and mayor are going beyond normalizing criminal activity by solidifying and entrenching it via the approval of local policing.

National Review: The Corner: ‘Conscience,’ ‘Courage’
Russian forces have committed atrocities against the Ukrainian people, including rape, castration, and mass sexual violence. The Ukrainian people are both pathetic Russian cousins and wily, peace-disturbing brutes in the eyes of Putin apologists and anti-Ukrainians. Illia Ponomarenko is confused about the state of Ukraine and whether it is giving up its senseless fight against Russian intervention. The Kremlin arrested Alexey Pichugin 20 years ago for fighting corruption and he is now the longest-serving political prisoner of the 558 in Russia. The Boris Nemtsov Foundation gave the Nemtsov Award to five Russian political prisoners, who were arrested for speaking out against Putin's war on Ukraine, including Maria Ponomarenko, Nikita Tushkanov, Mikhail Simonov, Maksim Lypkan, and Vladimir Rumyantsev.
The Economist: Ukraine’s spymaster has got under the Kremlin’s skin
Ukraine's spymaster, General Kyrylo Budanov, has become a big irritant for the Kremlin, thanks to increasingly brazen operations within Russia, and has survived multiple assassination attempts, including a recent attack on his Rybalsky office. The 37-year-old former commando, who led the main directorate of intelligence, has become a plucky, autonomous authority that punches above its weight, and as a confidant of the president, is understood to be playing an ever-bigger role in behind-the-scenes peace negotiations.

The Epoch Times: Three Years After Galwan Valley Clash, Towns Along India–China Border Get an Upgrade
China has upgraded two sparsely populated areas in Tibet, Milin and Cuona, to cities in an effort to bolster its military status along the disputed Line of Actual Control (LAC) between China and India. Experts believe that this move is part of China’s ongoing efforts to bulk up its presence along the contested border, which saw the first deadly conflict between the two nations in 45 years in June 2020. The new cities are locations of strategic importance despite their small populations, and may enhance civil-military integration in the region, thus strengthening defense and security along the China–India border.
The upgrade of Milin and Cuona is part of China’s efforts to build up infrastructure in the border regions, which will be directly administered by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) administration of Tibet. The move will allow the region’s central government to fast-track infrastructure development on the border, thus securing its own periphery, a strategy that has been pursued by China since the Sino–Indian war of 1962. However, Indian experts say that the upgrade is a strategic move to build the Chinese army’s forward defense and enhance control over the region, and have urged India to strengthen its defense and security in the area by increasing its population and opening up these areas for tourism.
The Epoch Times: Trump Says China 'Owned' US Until He Took Office
Former President Donald Trump stated in an interview with Fox News that his administration wasn't “owned” by China like its predecessors. He cited his record of imposing tariffs on billions' worth of Chinese goods and signing a trade deal in January 2020. Trump also stated that if elected in 2024, he would keep the China tariffs. The Department of Justice launched the “China Initiative” program under the Trump administration, resulting in increased prosecutions against China's state-sanctioned theft of trade secrets. The program has since been terminated under the Biden administration. Trump also thwarted China's 5G ambitions, while security and privacy concerns surrounding Chinese apps like TikTok and WeChat started to make headlines.
During his Fox interview, Trump wouldn't reveal whether he would support Taiwan's independence. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken stated that the US doesn't support Taiwan independence, drawing criticism from Republican lawmakers. China sees Taiwan as part of its territory and has never renounced the use of force to annex the island, while internationally, Taiwan is recognized as a de facto independent state with its own military, constitution, and democratically elected government officials. Washington and Taipei are currently not formal allies, and the US has maintained a policy of “strategic ambiguity” regarding whether it would come to Taiwan’s defense.
National Review: The Corner: Biden on China and Cuba: What, Me Worry?
China and Cuba are reportedly negotiating to establish a new joint military training facility on the island, according to the Wall Street Journal. This comes after the Journal previously reported that China and Cuba reached a secret agreement for China to establish an electronic eavesdropping facility on the island.
The Biden administration initially denied the accuracy of the previous report, but it was later revealed that China already had electronic eavesdropping facilities on the island and that the two countries are finalizing plans for a new, bigger, and more advanced facility. The administration's playbook when facing unexpected bad news regarding the US relationship with China is to insist the news isn't that bad and that the problem was inherited from the Trump administration. Biden dismissed the Chinese spy balloon incident as "silly" and inconsequential.

Flag And Cross: Cancer Screening Program Predicts Tumors Decades Before Development
Scientists have made a breakthrough in cancer research, identifying clusters of chemicals in cells that could predict tumours decades before they develop. These bits of DNA, called circular RNAs, have been found to be responsible for potentially causing mutations which lead to cancer. This has led to the possibility of developing personalized vaccines for those vulnerable to the disease. The revolutionary finding ushers in a new area of medical and molecular biology research and opens the door for the use of these molecules as markers of the disease.

Parents struggle to determine the cause of their children's stomach pains and often fail to bring up the issue with pediatricians, according to a new poll by the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor. Parents attributed stomach pains to gastrointestinal issues such as indigestion, gas, and constipation, with around 30% trying an over-the-counter product to combat the pain.

PJ Media: Did Trump Just Convict Himself on Fox News?
Federal prosecutors plan to use former President Donald Trump’s own words against him in court, after he admitted on national TV to holding onto boxes of documents rather than handing them over. While this may not necessarily result in legal repercussions for Trump, it does complicate his defense. Trump’s mishandling of classified documents raises concerns, and some argue that if high-level executive branch personnel are to be prosecuted for this, then past officials such as Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden should also be held accountable.
