Who is paying for this massive military operation – and how long will it continue?

The Mexican military cracked down on mass illegal crossings into Texas starting in January, proving that they play one of the most important roles in stopping the invasion of the U.S.

But why were they previously allowing – and even helping – thousands of illegal migrants to storm the Rio Grande on a daily basis? Who is paying for this massive military operation – and how long will it continue?

Border Hawk correspondent Efraín González explains why the Mexican Army is the “authentic border wall” in this exclusive report from Piedras Negras, Mexico.

“I think the legislation should pass and I think it should be sold,” Mnuchin tells CNBC

Following Wednesday’s passage of a bill in the House that would force TikTok to be “fully divested” from Chinese-owned parent company ByteDance, former Trump Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Thursday that he’s organizing a group to buy the social media app.

“I think the legislation should pass and I think it should be sold,” Mnuchin told CNBC‘s “Squawk Box” on Thursday. “It’s a great business and I’m going to put together a group to buy TikTok,” he added.

According to CNBC, there is common ground between Mnuchin’s Liberty Strategic Capital and ByteDance – as Masa Son’s SoftBank Vision Fund invested in ByteDance in 2018, and is also a limited partner in Liberty Strategic.

The bill, which passed overwhelmingly in the House with bipartisan support, next heads to the Senate – which we imagine will pass it and send it to President Joe Biden’s desk. Biden has indicated that he will sign it.

“This should be owned by U.S. businesses. There’s no way that the Chinese would ever let a U.S. company own something like this in China,” Mnuchin said.

According to TikTok, around 170 million Americans use the app, which lawmakers say gives the Chinese government access and influence over the US by delivering tailored content to users with an algorithm that was developed in China (as opposed to every other social media company doing the same thing?).

Major tech investors, including Peter Thiel, Vinod Khosla and Keith Rabois, have publicly or privately decried the social media platform as a pernicious influence.

Still, it remains unclear if Chinese government would permit ByteDance to sell TikTok to a U.S. buyer. TikTok has lobbied furiously against the bill, including a concerted pitch to its user base and through videos on its platform.

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew has implied that a sale is not an option. China foreign minstry spokesperson Wang Wenbin described the bipartisan push as indicative of “robber’s logic” towards TikTok, The Financial Times reported Thursday. -CNBC

In 2023, ByteDance was valued at $220 billion, according to PitchBook.

Mnuchin did not elaborate on who the other investors would be in a potential deal, however there are other interested buyers. On Sunday, the WSJ reported that Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick was shopping a potential deal to potential partners.

Trojan Horse

Prior to Wednesday’s vote, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) took to the floor to rail against the bill, saying that “there’s some of us who feel that – intentionally, or unintentionally, this legislation to ban TikTok is actually a trojan horse that would allow vast government overreach.

“Some of us are concerned that there are First Amendment implications here. Americans have the right to view information, and don’t need to be protected by the government from information.”

Washington is moving closer to adopting a law that could remove the Chinese-owned social media platform from U.S. app stores

China has lashed out at an ongoing effort to ban the popular TikTok social media platform in the US. According to Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin, such a step would violate international trade rules.

His comments came after the US House of Representatives passed a bill that describes TikTok as a “national security threat” and would force the platform’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell it within six months or face a nationwide ban.

“[The bill] runs contrary to the principles of fair competition and international economic and trade rules,” Wang said at a news briefing in Beijing. He added that “if so-called reasons of national security can be used to arbitrarily suppress excellent companies from other countries, then there is no fairness and justice at all.”

“When someone sees a good thing another person has and tries to take it for themselves, this is entirely the logic of a bandit.”

He accused Washington of “bullying behavior” and “leveraging state power” against ByteDance. Prior to the vote on Wednesday, Wang had also warned that the proposed ban would “inevitably come back to bite the US” as it would damage investor confidence in America.

The House passed the legislation by a vote of 352-65 on Wednesday. The bill now goes to the Senate. US President Joe Biden previously said he would sign the bill into law if it passes both houses of Congress.

TikTok CEO Shou Chew said on Tuesday that banning TikTok in the US would endanger the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Americans, claiming that more than seven million small businesses in the US depend on the platform. Chew also pledged that TikTok would exercise its “legal rights” to prevent the ban, and asked its 170 million US users to support its efforts.

In his testimony to Congress last year, Chew insisted that ByteDance was “not an agent of China” and that TikTok “has never shared, or received a request to share, US user data with the Chinese government,” nor would it honor such a request if one were ever made.

Biden unveils massive budget, including nearly $900 billion for ‘defense’ spending

Monday, US President Joe Biden unveiled a $7.3 trillion budget, including $895 billion of military funding. That number that balloons to over $1.5 trillion when including the “emergency supplemental” military spending that Biden requested from Congress and other military expenses like the Veteran Affairs and interest on security-related debt.

The request, representing the most expensive military in world history, is the result of military contractors who are incentivized “to sell expensive items, not necessarily the most useful and effective items,” Independent journalist Jim Kavanagh told Sputnik’s The Critical Hour on Wednesday.

We have seen in Ukraine “with the destruction of the Abrams tanks and the HIMARS missiles, that the American equipment is boutique,” Kavanagh said. “[Military contractors] send expensive, boutique, very complicated, fragile equipment,” which inflates the military budget. Kavanagh contrasted that with the simpler Russian equipment, “that’s cheaper to build and is suited for hard condition warfare.”

“The whole [US Military Contracting economy] from beginning to end is corruption and [the] destruction of society, turning us into a militarized, censored society,” referencing the “ludicrous” so-called “TikTok Ban” that just passed the US House of Representatives but gives the government sweeping powers to ban any foreign website or app it deems a threat.

Kavanagh decried the corruption while there are issues in America that could be addressed with that money, but he asserted that would get in the way of “neoliberal capitalism.”

“They’re not going to put $1 trillion or half a trillion or $10 billion into building housing for the people because that’s going to compete with private market housing,” Kavanagh explained. “Capitalists don’t care if [the government] spends billions of dollars on a sector of the economy that is going to be controlled by the government one way or another,” he continued. “But you want to build houses? You want to spend money on healthcare? You want to spend money on jobs for the people? No, because you’ll be competing with capitalists.”

The issue cannot be solved by voting for Biden’s most prominent opponent in the upcoming presidential election Kavanagh explained, because former President Donald Trump is also “focused on getting all the money to the military-industrial-complex.”

“This is the best you’re going to get from either party. Perpetual warfare, nothing to do for your healthcare, nothing to do for housing and rental, nothing to do for jobs… But $1 trillion for military plus supplemental appropriations, this is what the United States is in for if we don’t have a change and that is not going to come from either the Democrats or the Republicans.”

The new ‘auto theft prevention tactic’ is being widely criticized

With rising crime in Toronto, Canada, citizens and police are coming up with creative and sometimes ridiculous ways to deal with robberies.

A viral City News report described a nearly 25% rise in car thefts from 2022 to 2023, explaining police in one area have resorted to passing out doorstops to homeowners to help prevent their doors from being kicked in by criminals.

Toronto Police Service Constable Marco Ricciard appeared in the news segment to tell citizens they should leave their car key fobs their front door because criminals are “breaking into your home to steal your car. They don’t want anything else.”

“A lot of them that they’re arresting have guns on them and they’re not toy guns, they’re loaded,” the officer told the disarmed citizens.
