DOD FUNDING CHINA’S BIOWARFARE RESEARCH: Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) says the Pentagon and other federal agencies are sending billions of U.S. tax dollars to China, including the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) that gave us COVID-19, for research on militarizing pathogens capable of causing national and worldwide pandemics.

Question: Wouldn’t it be cheaper for everybody involved for our elites to just hand them the keys to the joint?

WELL, OF COURSE THEY WOULD. HOW VERY DARE YOU HAVE A VERIFIABLE IDENTITY AND PAST?  In the Name of “Equity”, California Proposes to Ban Popular TSA Skipping Program.

Do you want to make illegal aliens with faked identities feel bad and more inferior? Well, do you? You’re probably a white supremacist and nationalist…  Also does anyone have a pair of pliers? My tongue seems to be wedged in my cheek.

OPEN THREAD: Make your mark.

CHRISTOPHER RUFO: Katherine Maher’s Color Revolution.

The Color Revolution is restless. Beginning in the former Soviet republics in the early 2000s, it moved along the coast of North Africa with the so-called Arab Spring in the 2010s, and, into the current decade, has spread further.

The ostensible purpose of Color Revolutions—named after the Rose Revolution, Orange Revolution, and Tulip Revolution in Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan, respectively—is to replace authoritarian regimes with Western liberal democracies. American and European intelligence services are often heavily involved in these revolutions, with ambitions not only to spread modern ideologies but also to undermine geopolitical opponents.

The West’s favored methods of supporting Color Revolutions include fomenting dissent, organizing activists through social media, promoting student movements, and unleashing domestic unrest on the streets. Americans hold varying opinions on such efforts, but what many don’t realize is that they occur not only overseas but also here in the United States. The summer of rioting following the death of George Floyd, which ushered in the new DEI regime, was in many ways a domestic Color Revolution, advanced by progressive NGOs, media entities, and political actors.

A minor figure in these movements, a woman named Katherine Maher, has recently come to greater prominence. Maher was involved in the wave of Color Revolutions that took place in North Africa in the 2010s, and she supported the post-George Floyd upheavals in the United States in the 2020s. She was also the CEO of the Wikimedia Foundation, which runs the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, and was just recently named the new CEO of National Public Radio.

At NPR, Maher has already been embroiled in controversy. Longtime editor Uri Berliner, who has now resigned, accused her of left-wing bias and suppressing dissent. Following these accusations, I did extensive reporting demonstrating that Maher has a troubling history of arguing against the notion of objective truth and supporting censorship in the name of democracy.

Now I have gathered additional facts that raise new questions about Maher’s role as a regime-change agent, both foreign and domestic. She has brought the Color Revolution home to America.

Meanwhile, here’s a look at her predecessor’s last days at NPR:

Translation: like the New York Times’ Dean Baquet, NPR’s John Lansing couldn’t leave fast enough once his troops turned on him during the early days of America’s Color Revolution.
