Today, I have signed into law S. 3191, the “Civil Rights Cold Case Records Collection Act of 2018” (the “Act”). The Act provides for the review and, where possible, the release of records of criminal investigations relating to alleged Federal civil rights violations between..
1940 and 1980 (“cold case records”). These records, however, include information in the possession of any branch of the Government and could encompass even recently created records that “relate to” alleged civil rights violations from that period.

#China will attempt a forceful unification with #Taiwan by 2021, the centenary of the Chinese Communist Party. Xi's grand dream of national rejuvenation entails unifying all that #CCP considers Chinese lands, especially Taiwan.

This THREAD looks at this potential scenario.
The legitimacy of the #CCP regime under Xi is based on the twin pillars of economic growth and nationalism. For the party-state, unifying the mainland and Taiwan is critical to its aspirations of national rejuvenation and erasure of national humiliation.
Why would PRC force a unification as early as 2021? 1) 2021 is the centenary of the #CCP; anniversaries and dates have massive symbolic importance in China's political culture. 2) Xi wants unification to be part of his legacy. This is the only way that he can outshine #Mao.

@Headsnipe011 @drawandstrike @ThomasWictor @HNIJohnMiller @CatesDuane @rising_serpent @_ImperatorRex_ @Debradelai @TheChiIIum (1) TY for this thread, @headsnipe011! Turns out it's a really interesting case of severe discrimination that will (rightly) cost the realtors and homeowner a lot of money!

@Headsnipe011 @drawandstrike @ThomasWictor @HNIJohnMiller @CatesDuane @rising_serpent @_ImperatorRex_ @Debradelai @TheChiIIum (2) The respondents discriminated against two families. One family had arranged a suitable subletting arrangement when they suddenly had to move across the country to care for a terminally ill brother.

Everything was fine until the respondents met the other family.
@Headsnipe011 @drawandstrike @ThomasWictor @HNIJohnMiller @CatesDuane @rising_serpent @_ImperatorRex_ @Debradelai @TheChiIIum (3) The realtors are the sloppiest realtors I've ever seen. Dropped themselves right in it, probably to the tune of over $100k, minimum, and massive reputational damage.

Not only did they cause humiliation & distress to the families, ...

Some thoughts on Pakistan, China, and the Carter Doctrine: A few months ago, the first reports came out that China was looking to establish a combined air and naval base in Jiwani, Pakistan washingtontimes.com/news/2018/jan/…
This report was subsequently confirmed by other sources in the following months. maritime-executive.com/editorials/wil…
Building a base in Jiwani (or nearby) would make a great deal of sense for China. After all, China is desperately dependent on imported oil to run its ever-growing economy. And Jiwani sits nearby the incredibly vital Strait of Hormuz. maritime-executive.com/article/china-…

Welcome to #NATO 101. Lesson 1
"The mere lack of #military #power is, in itself, not enough to cause a nation to lose its position vis-à-vis other states. That only happens when the people lose their individual integrity and the country gradually loses its national #integrity...
#NATO 101, Lesson 2
"No-one wants to cooperate with a country that has lost its integrity. [Even when] other countries have dealt unreasonably... who would want to damage the amity extant between [us, just by] sticking up for a state that has no national #integrity to begin with?
#NATO 101, Lesson 3.
"Many countries haven’t lost their international #prestige merely because of #poverty and #weakness... natural #disaster and poor #geography are enough to make a country weak and poor, and that can move others to sympathy. But lack of #integrity?

hearing—"#China's Worldwide #Military Expansion" is a dramatic bellwether of growing concerns in Washington & beyond.

Now online—hard-hitting arguments + many data points, some deeply-analyzed yet hard to find elsewhere in public domain:
