Succession is back , and the insult of the day is “disingenuous little fuck doll.” Any guesses on which of Logan Roy’s children this refers to—and which of them yelled it at the top of their lungs when a meeting didn’t go their way? This season opens right where we left off. Kendall—Logan’s second son and, now, Waystar Royco Public Enemy No. 1—shocked everyone last season by refusing to play the sacrificial lamb for his father, instead throwing Logan to the wolves at a press conference . This season’s premiere finds Ken locked in a bathroom as a nervous Greg asks him to make even just a sound to confirm he’s alive. It doesn’t take long , however, for Kendall to emerge—and as soon as he does, we observe father and son scheming in parallel, a prelude to the Machiavellian dance that threatens to knock the droopiest Roy child off his moralistic pedestal. Kendall makes his escape in a black SUV with a stunned Greg and a frustrated Waystar attorney—whom he promptly kicks to the … [Read more...]
For Missionary Group in a Fragile Haiti, Charity Turns to Chaos
Christian missionary workers typically labor in obscurity, running medical clinics, building wells and delivering Bibles without fanfare — until crisis erupts. There was Andrew Brunson, an evangelical pastor from North Carolina who was swept up in a coup attempt in Turkey in 2016 and detained for two years. And Kent Brantly, a medical missionary who nearly died from Ebola in Liberia. On Saturday, Christian Aid Ministries, a global missionary organization in Millersburg, Ohio, that was founded by Amish and Mennonites, unwillingly joined the ranks of those making headlines when 17 members of its group were kidnapped. Five men, seven women and five children were abducted, Christian Aid Ministries said in a statement on its website. “Join us in praying for those who are being held hostage, the kidnappers and the families, friends and churches of those affected,” the statement said. The group was kidnapped by a gang outside Port-au-Prince on Saturday afternoon. Amid political … [Read more...]
Ron Johnson Slams Democrat ‘Intimidation’ of School Parents — ‘They Do Not Believe in Individual Liberty and Freedom’
Sunday on New York WABC 770 AM radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) sounded off on the Department of Justice’s announcement that it would intervene to address perceived threats against educators and school boards. Johnson described the announcement as an “outrageous” overreach by the Biden administration to intimidate parents. He argued Democrats “do not believe in individual liberty and freedom” and proved themselves to “socialist-Marxists.” “This is an enormous, this is a blatant violation of people’s first amendment rights,” Johnson told WABC host John Catsimatidis. “The Democrats are completely out of the closet,” he added. “They are now proving themselves to be socialist-Marxists. They do not believe in individual liberty and freedom. They believe in the power of the state. And that is why they are doing everything they can to remain in power and turn America into a one-party state. I don’t understand their mindset. You know, why not let people live and … [Read more...]
GOP Rep. McCaul: Border Crisis ‘Out of Control’ — ‘It’s a Self-Inflicted Wound’
During an appearance on this week’s broadcast of “Sunday Night in America” on Fox News Channel, Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) discussed the ongoing border crisis, which he deemed a “self-inflicted wound” by the Biden administration. McCaul noted that upon entering office, President Joe Biden rescinded former President Donald Trump’s Remain in Mexico policy, which he said has resulted in a worsening situation at the border. A federal judge ordered the Biden administration to reinstate the Trump-era policy pending the outcome of a lawsuit filed by Texas and Missouri. “It is out of control,” McCaul said of the border crisis. “It’s a self-inflicted wound. You know, on day one, President Biden rescinded the Remain in Mexico policy — the asylum agreements, Migrant Protection Protocol, which was working. It required them to stay in Mexico pending their asylum claims. … You know, 85% of the claims don’t get through. And you know they are rejected by the courts. So, this was an effective … [Read more...]
Exclusive: NH GOP Matt Mowers Outraises Democrat Chris Pappas
Republican candidate Matt Mowers outraised vulnerable Democrat incumbent Rep. Chris Pappas (D-NH) in New Hampshire’s first congressional district by nearly $80,000, according to the campaign, after the Republican announced his candidacy to unseat Pappas roughly one month before the filing deadline. Mowers, who was once a senior White House adviser — advising the secretary of state to advance the America First agenda and issues such as religious freedom, immigration, the border, and more — said the campaign had outraised the vulnerable incumbent’s whole third-quarter fundraising after being in the race for one month. “I am humbled and energized by the early enthusiasm and support for our effort to restore New Hampshire’s voice in Congress and to fight for our American values,” Mowers exclusively told Breitbart News. (L-R) Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CO), Rep. Chris Pappas (D-NH), Rep. Deb Haaland (D-NM), Rep. John … [Read more...]
Asian shares slide as Chinese growth data disappoints
6 Asian shares were mostly lower on Monday after China reported its economy grew at a meager 4.9% annual pace in July-September. The Shanghai Composite index lost 0.2% to 3,565.18 while the Hang Seng in Hong Kong declined 0.5% to 25,217.81. Chinese growth is under pressure from government controls meant to curb energy use and reduce financial risks from reliance on debt-fueled property developments. Manufacturing also has been hampered by shortages of processor chips and other components due to the pandemic. The 4.9% annual pace of growth was slightly below forecasts and compared with a 7.9% expansion in the April-June quarter, which was exaggerated by the downturn in 2020. “The growth outlook has weakened due to the various headwinds," Tommy Wu and Louis Kuijs of Oxford Economics said in a report. They forecast that growth would “slow significantly" in the current quarter. Power shortages might persists, while other … [Read more...]
