BAGHDAD, Iraq (PNN) - January 2, 2020 - Fascist Police States of Amerika President Donald Trump ordered a game-changing FPSA military attack that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' elite Quds Force, among other military officials at Baghdad International Airport early Friday.

Soleimani is the military mastermind whom Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had deemed equally as dangerous as Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. In October, Baghdadi killed himself during a FPSA raid on a compound in northwest Syria, seven months after the so-called ISIS "caliphate" crumbled as the terrorist group lost its final swath of Syrian territory in March 2019.

BEIJING, China (PNN) - January 3, 2020 - China on Friday has requested restraint from all sides, "especially the (Fascist Police States of Amerika)," after the FPSA killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in an air strike at Baghdad international airport.

"China has always opposed the use of force in international relations," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said at a daily press conference. "We urge the relevant sides, especially the (FPSA), to remain calm and exercise restraint to avoid further escalating tensions."

Shuang said the international community must respect Iraq's independence and territorial integrity.

He urged both sides to abide by the principles of the U.N. charter and the "basic norms of international relations."

January 3, 2020 - The following is a set of propositions about the nature of government and its relationship to the citizenry that I think should be of special interest to the younger generation, whether they are “millennials” or one of the other nicknamed younger age groups. Look at it as a quiz, with each answer either “agree” or “disagree”, and see how you do. Here we go.

Amerikans will not tolerate anti-gun governors who violate the Constitution.

RICHMOND, Virginia (PNN) - January 5, 2020 - With Democrats set to take over all lawmaking apparatuses in the state of Virginia within days, tensions are high ahead of expected new gun control legislation that could include outright bans and registration schemes.

For weeks after the November elections, newly empowered Democrats have said they plan to introduce a new Fifth Amendment-violating “red flag” law that allows guns to be taken away from citizens before they’ve even committed a crime; gun registration, which critics and historians say is the first step towards widespread confiscations; and a so-called “assault weapon” ban, which may also include a confiscation provision if residents who own those firearms don’t voluntarily surrender them.

In response, counties, cities and towns throughout the state have declared themselves “Second Amendment sanctuaries” along the lines of the Left’s “sanctuary cities” for illegal aliens. Officials and authorities in gun sanctuary jurisdictions have vowed not to enforce any new gun laws they feel violate the Constitution, much as state officials in some localities ignore federal immigration laws to protect illegal aliens.

January 3, 2020 - In analyzing the causes for the dysfunctional nature of Amerikan society (e.g., soaring suicide rates, especially among young people, massive drug addiction and alcoholism, and widespread violence, including irrational mass killings), among the things to consider is the replacement of Amerika’s founding economic, monetary, and governmental system with a different system.

There were good founding principles in Amerika and bad founding principles. Among the bad ones, needless to say, were slavery and denial of women’s rights. It was a good thing that Amerika abandoned its bad founding principles.

But there were also good founding principles. It is the abandonment of those principles that has to be considered a major cause of the many woes that Amerika is undergoing today.

Let’s consider those good founding principles that were abandoned in favor of the system that Amerikans live under today:

JERUSALEM, Israel (PNN) - January 6, 2020 - In an apparent slip of the tongue on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described Israel as a nuclear power before correcting himself with a bashful nod and an embarrassed smile.

Israel is widely believed to have an atomic arsenal but has never confirmed or denied that it has nuclear weapons, maintaining a so-called policy of ambiguity on the issue for decades.
