China's Hand on American Campuses
Pro-Hamas protests at universities around the country exposed the hidden organizers who are buying the tents, printing the signs, and in many cases, paying professional protesters to incite and radicalize students.

Biden-Connected Chinese Gangster Left Off Sanctions List
The Government Accountability Institute just discovered that one of the most notorious Chinese gangsters, a man known as “White Wolf,” was somehow left off a 2021 executive order by President Joe Biden listing persons and companies sanctioned against doing business here. That may be because “White Wolf” has connections. Peter Schweizer and co-host Eric Eggers welcome Price Sukhia, the GAI researcher who made this discovery, to the most recent episode of The Drill Down. Price’s article, linked above, was also published by The Daily Caller.
