The Roots of Lawfare
Posted By: Imright, 1/9/2024 8:08:43 AM
Although the term “Lawfare” has origins going back to the 1950s, it remained relatively dormant and unknown until 1999 and 2001, where first Chinese military officers used the term in their book titled Unrestricted Warfare: China’s Master Plan to Destroy America.

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy pulled back the curtain on the “whole game” as he delivered eyebrow-raising predictions about the 2024 race to the White House.
In a video posted Wednesday evening shortly after news that GOP contender Chris Christie dropped out of the race, Ramaswamy addressed the direction of the “two-horse race” between former President Donald Trump – still the reigning GOP frontrunner in polls – and a “puppet” within the Republican Party “who they can control.” (X Video)
The US and the UK are ready to carry out airstrikes against the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen as early as tonight - after both countries warned there could be consequences if ships are continually targeted in the Red Sea.
Joint US and British forces shot down 18 drones and three missiles launched by the Houthis late Tuesday, in what was described as their biggest attack so far in solidarity with Palestinians in Hamas-ruled Gaza.
Antony Blinken warned of 'consequences' if the Houthi do not stop attacking ships in the Red Sea, and called on Iran to end their support for the rebels.
Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 16,000 Chinese migrants who crossed the border between ports of entry since the new fiscal year began on October 1, according to unofficial reports reviewed by Breitbart Texas. This number is nearly two-thirds of the Chinese migrants apprehended during the entire Fiscal Year 23, which ended on September 30.
Since October 1, 2023, Border Patrol agents apprehended approximately 15,800 Chinese nationals who illegally crossed the border between ports of entry, the report indicates. Official reports from U.S. Customs and Border Protection reveal the apprehension of 9,844 migrants in October and November. This leaves nearly 6,800 who were apprehended since December 1, 2023.
In a fiery interview on Steve Bannon’s “War Room,” Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) did not hold back in her criticism of Speaker Mike Johnson, suggesting his leadership is failing Republicans and that he might need to be removed from his position.
This comes after Johnson announced a $1.590 trillion budget for the fiscal year 2024, earning praise from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.)
The proposed budget has sparked outrage among members of the House Freedom Caucus.
Jill Biden slammed the 'horrible' House Republicans for showing nude photographs of Hunter Biden in their hearings and said what they are doing to her son is 'cruel.'
'What they are doing to Hunter is cruel, and I'm really proud of how he has rebuilt his life after addiction. I love my son. It's hurt my grandchildren. That's what I’m so concerned about, that it's affecting their lives as well,' the first lady said in an interview that aired on Morning Joe on Thursday.

Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis secretly colluded with the one-sided, Democrat-run January 6 Committee to obtain tips that would help her prosecute Donald Trump — and tried to keep it out of court, and public view, using a procedural trick.
The revelation could upend the prosecution of Trump and 18 co-defendants because the evidence was concealed to keep it away from discovery requirements that would allow defense lawyers to see what was shared, and the extent of the collaboration.
Politico reported Wednesday:

Over the last several years, the U.S. Military has struggled to meet recruitment goals across all branches, perhaps most of all with the Army.
One of the reasons for this has now been explained. White men are no longer enlisting in the numbers they did in the past.
Families which used to encourage young men to enlist are doing so in far fewer numbers for reasons which are obvious to many. New woke policies, the vaccine mandates and the embrace of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies mean white recruits are looked over for advancement in the US Military today. All of these factors have all contributed to this decline
Former President Donald Trump got to command a stage all to himself at a prime time Fox News town hall in Iowa, where he was cheered by Iowa supporters but was still forced to state flat out that he was not 'going to be a dictator.'
Trump made the comment when co-host Bret Baier asked him about his recent that there would be 'bedlam' in the country if his criminal prosecutions continue.
That brought a long explanation from Trump about his comments to fellow Fox host Sean Hannity. Trump had told Hannity he woudl be a 'dictator for one day,' in comments that drew backlash.

Now that Claudine Gay is out as president at Harvard after a plagiarism scandal, will Barack Obama become the university's next president?
Here's what's being bruited about in the media, according to the Daily Mail:
Barack Obama has been touted as a contender for the next president of Harvard after the resignation by Claudine Gay due to an anti-Semitism and plagiarism scandal.
The former president, who graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991, may be a candidate for the position - and he wouldn't be the first ex-POTUS to take charge of an elite college.

St. Paul, Minnesota, seated four new City Council members on Tuesday, and now has an entirely female slate of Council members.
Additionally, all seven women are under age 40, and six of the seven are women of color.

Not only is Anthony Fauci a shameless flip-flopper, but he’s an extremely sloppy one at that—why are these criminals in politics (pardon the redundancy) so incapable of covering their tracks? How does a man like Peter Strzok, who spent a career as an investigative agent, put something as incriminating as “we’ll stop” a Trump presidency into writing, on a government-issued cell phone? How does Hunter Biden leave the “Laptop from Hell,” containing graphic evidence of criminal activity, with some civilian computer repair store man? How does Fauci “confess” to Capitol Hill lawmakers that the six-foot social distancing guidance “sort of just appeared” out of the ether,
Police officers are urging Canadians not to publicly share home security footage of porch pirate mail thieves, claiming it could be a violation of their privacy rights and defamatory. Quebec provincial police (SQ) communications officer Lt. Benoit Richard told citizens “You cannot post the images yourself because you have to remember, in Canada, we have a presumption of innocence.”
Instead, Richard suggested calling 911 if anything was stolen.
“We’ll do the investigation, bring that person to justice and file some charges,” he added.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday suspended his campaign for president.
"It’s clear to me tonight that there isn’t a path for me to win the nomination. Which is why I’m suspending my campaign tonight for President of the United States," Christie said at a town hall event in Windham, New Hampshire.
Christie, a long shot for the nomination in a race dominated by former President Donald Trump, in recent weeks had faced increased calls from fellow Republicans and from some voters to end his bid to give rival Nikki Haley a boost as she aims to close the gap with Trump.
During an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday, Biden 2024 Campaign Co-Chair Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said that President Joe Biden “has delivered for the American people in such a way that nobody seems to grasp.” And that Biden “can be a greater President when we get people to understand all of what he has done rather than to listen to all of the garbage, the disinformation that’s going on out there and look at the facts and stop listening to all of this tweeting and stuff that’s going on out there that’s not good for the American people.”

Former president Donald Trump vowed during his Fox News town hall on Wednesday night to create the “largest deportation effort in the history of our country” if he is reelected in November, saying “we have no choice.”
