Trump Attacks Rubber-Duck Enthusiasts!

US: Bizarre Trump Crackdown on Visa-Holders “Operating Large Tractor-Trailer Trucks”! (23.8.2025)

Analysts say the administration’s immigration crackdown is widening from undocumented migrants and students to nearly all legal visa holders. This could leave many at risk of losing their status.

New Pew Research Centre data shows the U.S. immigrant population fell by almost 1.5 million in the first half of this year, the first net decline in decades. The total dropped to 51.9 million in June from 53.3 million in January. Researchers attribute the decline largely to stricter policies, which have led to both deportations and voluntary departures.

The White House argues that fewer immigrants ease pressure on public services and help the labour market recover. But experts warn that the long-term effects may be damaging, with labour shortages in key industries such as agriculture, healthcare and services. With the retirement of the baby boomer generation, they note, U.S. reliance on immigrant labour could actually deepen.

Japan: 80 Years on – Reckoning with War Remains Unfinished! (7.8.2025)

The voices underscored a national memory shaped more by the narrative of victimhood than by a full reckoning with the causes and consequences of war, which offered a glimpse into how Japan remembers and forgets its wartime past.

While the physical scars of nuclear devastation are meticulously documented in museums and memorials, Japan’s aggressive wartime conduct is conspicuously muted in both public discourse and state education.

Outside the official ceremony, anti-militarist demonstrators gathered near the atomic bombing site. Their placards decried Japan’s growing defence budget and the possibility of nuclear “sharing” with the U.S.

They were kept outside the formal event by riot police, while right-wing activists tried to drown them out with loudspeakers.

The Post of Dalai Lama Has Never Been Independent!

China: Central Government has Final say on Reincarnation of Dalai Lama! (6.8.2025)

The reincarnation of living Buddhas follows strict religious rituals and historical conventions, and the legitimacy of the title of the Dalai Lama in fact originates from the central government, Gama Cedain, chairman of Xizang, said during a news conference held by the State Council Information Office on the region’s economic and social development achievements since it was established 60 years ago.

On several occasions in the past, the 14th Dalai Lama has said he might reincarnate while still alive. At other times, he has said he will personally choose his successor.

In July, he released the so-called “Statement Affirming the Continuation of the Institution of Dalai Lama”, personally appointing a trust to recognize the future reincarnation.

“Reincarnation has never been solely determined by the Dalai Lama himself,” Gama Cedain said. “The reincarnation of the Dalai Lama must strictly follow the principle of ‘carrying out the search domestically, drawing lots from a golden urn, and gaining approval from the central government’, while complying with the country’s laws and regulations.”

Gee Wyles - Covid Star Medal for Bravery 2020-2021

NHS: Gee’s “Covid Star” Medal for Bravery! (18.7.2025)

Of course, when medals are issued en masse like this, as also seen at the end of WWII) it often takes some time before the medals are a) made, and b) presented to the recipients. Gee’s work record and demeanour under pressure were assessed and found “suitable” for the awarding of the “Covid Star” during 2022. Since that date, we have been patiently waiting to receive the physical object – and hold it in our hands. Gee volunteered to work with NO protective-clothing or equipment on the NHS frontline saving human-lives in the UK – so I would say she has earned the right to be called “British”! Gee showed more English-grit than the “White” keyboard warriors sat behind their computer screens concocting all kinds of stupid and anti-intellectual nonsense! These very bad and poor examples of “Englishness” will never know the “grace under pressure” that people like Gee exhibited during a National Emergency. Indeed, Gee saved their ungrateful lives.

China: Young Communists Future of Country! (2.7.2025)

When his supervisor suggested exploring more natural methods to treat carbon emissions, Deng immediately thought of that land. “I thought, why not capture carbon emissions and use them to fix alkaline soil?” he said.

His department thought the idea was unconventional, but his proposal won support. Li Ping, Party chief of the university’s college of safety and emergency management and engineering, said that the topic addresses local economic needs.

“We encourage our researchers to innovate and solve practical problems. We don’t restrict them in terms of research direction.”

Still, the road wasn’t smooth. Just collecting sufficient varieties of saline-alkaline soil turned out to be a challenge.

“That’s when the Party really stepped in,” Deng said. “Grassroots Party organizations helped connect me with locals who knew where to find the land I needed.”

“The CPC keeps renewing itself and adapting to the times. It’s vibrant and full of energy — and that’s why so many young people are drawn to it,” Deng said.
