Beijing says the aircraft carrier’s trip was routine and unrelated to Biden-Xi phone call

Just hours before the scheduled phone call between US President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, China sailed its aircraft carrier Shandong through the Taiwan Strait. The Foreign Ministry in Beijing, however, says the two are unrelated and Western media are being too “sensitive” about it.

The Shandong was accompanied by another Chinese surface ship and transited the strait about 12 hours ahead of the Biden-Xi call, Reuters reported on Friday citing an anonymous source. It was reportedly foll...

Israel-Iran tensions put US troops at risk – general
RT World News (RSS)

The head of US Central Command admits he’s worried about losing troops after Iran and Israel traded missile strikes

No Americans were killed in a recent Iranian missile strike in northern Iraq, but the top US general in the Middle East said Friday he was concerned how long that will remain the case as Tehran and Tel Aviv keep targeting each other.

“I do worry about these exchanges between Iran and Israel, because many times our forces are at risk, whether in Iraq or in Syria. So that, in fact, does concern me,” Marine General Frank McKenzie told reporters at the Pentagon.

McKenzie has spent almo...

Brainwashed, Know-Nothing Americans  by Stephen Lendman  (Encore)

Over 80% of respondents view Vladimir Putin negatively, only 4% favorably. Half of Americans think he's mentally unstable. The above results were published on Feb. 28, four days after Russia's campaign began.

Results of a subsequent March 7 poll showed the following: Over 70% of respondents favor stiffer sanctions on Russia -- even at the cost of skyrocketing gasoline prices.

More than half of respondents (56%) said Biden regime steps taken against Russia aren't tough enough. Nearly 80% favor US war on Russia if its forces attack a NATO country.

Cops thought no one would see this brutal arrest, then a video surfaced exposing the truth
The Real News Network (RSS)

Another questionable arrest in a small town is raising more concerns about the state of policing in rural America. A man was repeatedly struck by police in Paducah, Texas, during an encounter that was caught on video and shared with PAR. We examine the arrest and discuss how it demonstrates the unchecked power of law enforcement in rural communities to inflict suffering on the people they’re ostensibly serving and to extract a disproportionate share of public resources.

One year after the failed Amazon union drive, workers in Bessemer are voting a second time
The Real News Network (RSS)

Bessemer, Alabama—Amazon warehouse worker Isaiah Thomas is a certified troublemaker, a term meant to be disparaging that workers have reclaimed and redefined to celebrate courage and militancy. He got a slap on the wrist from Amazon management in January for talking to coworkers about the benefits of building a union, in violation of the company’s solicitation policy. 

“While we understand your activity may have occurred during your break time, you were interfering with fellow associates during their working time, in their work areas,” the warning letter...

Reckoning with the legacy of Baltimore’s ‘zero tolerance’ crime policy this election year
The Real News Network (RSS)

“Fuck out of here, white boy!” someone yelled at presidential hopeful and former Baltimore City Mayor Martin O’Malley back in 2015.

It was April 29, 2015 to be exact, just two days after Baltimoreans revolted in response to the police killing of Freddie Gray, burning a CVS pharmacy and some cop cars, and doing plenty of other property damage.

O’Malley was back in the city he once ran—which was now an international news story and framed by some hungry reporters as “the next Ferguson”—and already teasing a 2016 presidential run. 

“Get out!” another person in the crowd yelled at the then-presid...
