EXCLUSIVE: Cash Flowing Into Anti-ICE Group’s Coffers Came From Chinese Gov’t-Linked Sources
by Jason Hopkins and Philip Lenczycki (INVESTIGATIVE GROUP) Numerous Chinese government-linked entities have bankrolled a nonprofit accused of offering tips on how to evade federal immigration authorities, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found. House Republicans recently launched an investigation into the Chinese-American Planning Council (CPC) — a New York-based nonprofit that’s been awarded over $1.4 million in tax-payer dollars since 2022 — after an undercover video surfaced purportedly showing CPC staff coaching illegal immigrants on how to avoid Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) apprehension. A review of CPC’s financial records discovered Chinese government-linked sources have been pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into the nonprofit in recent years, raising concerns of potential foreign obstruction of U.S. immigration enforcement. “I’m deeply concerned that Americans’ hard-earned taxpayer dollars were potentially used by an NGO [non-governmental organization] to help illegal aliens subvert our nation’s laws,” Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green, a Republican from Tennessee, told the DCNF. “Even more troubling is the Chinese-American Planning Council’s alleged ties to the [CCP] — a regime we know is committed to undermining U.S. sovereignty,” Green continued. “This Committee will continue investigating suspicious activities by NGOs to protect taxpayer dollars from supporting those who make a mockery of our laws.” (MORE NEWS: Complicit? California Democrats Send Another Child Sex Trafficking Bill Into Oblivion – LGBTQ Concerns Raised) CPC has received as much as $445,969 in donations from sources with ties to the Chinese government since 2018, according to financial records reviewed by the DCNF. State-run enterprises such as Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) and Bank of China as well as other entities connected to the Chinese Community Party (CCP) have provided financial assistance to CPC in recent years, records show. Additionally, CPC also appears to have significant financial and personnel links to a New York-based nonprofit, which, in turn, has extensive ties to Beijing and a CCP influence and intelligence arm. CPC did not respond to multiple requests for comment. ‘If ICE Comes To The Door…’ Founded in 1965, CPC serves to promote the interests of Chinese-American, immigrant and low income communities across New York City, according to its website. The organization bills itself as the country’s largest Asian American social services group and claims to provide more than 50 “high-quality” programs at numerous sites across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. The House Homeland Security Committee announced on April 16 that it would begin investigating CPC for potentially using federal funds to facilitate illegal immigration. In an April letter first obtained by the DCNF, Green and Oklahoma GOP Rep. Josh Brecheen demanded CPC president Wayne Ho hand over documentation related to his group’s immigration seminars, funding grants and other related material. The investigation is in response to undercover footage obtained by Muckraker.com, which allegedly shows CPC’s chief policy and public affairs officer, Carlyn Cower, and other staff directing audience members on best practices to avoid ICE apprehension during a March 8th CPC seminar in New York City. (MORE NEWS: ‘Will Be Punished’: Consequences Arrive Early For Canadian Voters After Doubling Down On Wokeism) To avoid ICE, Cowen recommended “hardening your physical space,” “identifying a list of individuals authorized to respond if ICE comes to the door” and “training everybody who’s going to be involved,” footage shows. Another speaker at the event directed individuals to “not open the door at all.” While state and local officials are not required to assist ICE with its mission, individuals are prohibited by law from getting in the way or otherwise impeding immigration enforcement actions. Immediately upon being sworn into office, Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered funding to be pulled from sanctuary cities — and called for the Department of Justice to investigate NGOs receiving federal grant money. The Trump administration has made clear it will not tolerate any obstruction of justice, and followed through on this position with the recent arrest and indictment of a Wisconsin judge for allegedly helping an illegal migrant in her courtroom evade an ICE agent. A main concern for House Republicans is whether CPC has been facilitating illegal immigration all while raking in thousands of dollars in federal grants. Around 55% of CPC’s total revenue comes from federal and state government grants, according to the House Homeland Security Committee. The New York City-based group has been awarded more than $1.4 million in direct federal grants from the Department of Health and Human Services since 2022, and may have received more federal funding awarded through New York State. The CCP Orbit’ A review of CPC’s annual reports show it not only received U.S. federal tax dollars, but also large sums of cash from Chinese government sources. The Bank of China, a state-owned banking corporation based in Beijing, gave CPC as much as $9,999 in 2020 and up to that same amount in 2024, the nonprofit’s annual reports show. CPC also received donations from Chinese state-run Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) in 2018, 2019 and 2023, amounting to as much as $19,997, the nonprofit’s annual reports show. The Hong Kong-based Bank of East Asia has also donated to CPC every year since at least 2018, having possibly doled out as much as $45,000, according to CPC’s financial records. Top executives for the bank, such as co-chief executives Adrian David Li Man-kiu and Brian David Li Man Bun, have both served as delegates to the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) at either regional or national levels, according to their English language profiles on the bank’s website. CPPCC “delegates attend a high-profile annual meeting to receive direction from the CCP regarding the ways its policies should be characterized” and “serve as proxies for CCP interests,” according to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. The Charles B. Wang Community Health Center, a NYC-based health services provider catering to the local Asian-American community, has likewise donated large sums to CPC in recent years, according to a review of CPC’s annual reports. Since 2018, the health center contributed as much as $229,993 in donations to CPC, its records show. However, Charles B. Wang — a Chinese-American billionaire and major donor to the health center — frequently met with CCP influence and intel leaders in China, state-run media reports reveal. A DCNF translation of Chinese government records reveal Wang served as an “executive…
Indian-Born Congressman In A Wig Can’t Name Cities In His District
This op-ed was written by Josh Slocum for WokeSpy. Click here to read in full. The “anything goes” and “you do you” attitude that’s prevailed for the last 15 or so years has brought us all sorts of public behavior that no one wanted. The Human Resources dictum to “bring your whole self to work” has given permission for staff to bring their marital and emotional problems to the office so what used to be private business is now everyone’s concern. Have you noticed how there are also no grooming standards anywhere anymore? If you’re in your late 40s or 50s, you remember a time not long ago when you were expected to comb your hair, tuck in your shirt, and-gasp!-even wear a clean uniform. That’s been replaced by hairy guts hanging out below food-stained T-shirts (men) and literal prostitute-wear (women). People’s faces are full of metal like nose rings and painful lip piercings, and even middle class women are covered with the kinds of tattoos formerly seen only on bikers, prisoners, and psychopaths. This strange behavior goes on in the elite classes, too. Consider ShriThanedar, an immigrant from India who represents Michigan’s 13th district in the House of Representatives. There’s no “nice” way around this: the man looks like a creation from Jim Henson’s Muppet Studios. It’s obvious from his photographs over the years that he’s been heavily reliant on makeup and hairpieces. When you look at his Congressional portrait, you imagine that Thanedar walked into a Baltimore wig emporium and said, “I’ll take the Carol Brady in brunette.” (MORE NEWS: Kay Hill On America’s Spiritual Revival & The Battle With Secular Power) Then there’s the obviously drawn-on (tattooed?) eyebrows. Recently, they’ve taken on the in-vogue square shape, the kind that looks like they were drawn on with a Sharpie. Of course, we’re not supposed to comment on how people look, even when they choose their look specifically to get attention, as Thanedar appears to have done. So let’s examine his political actions. Thanedar has a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, and recently put up a video announcing his articles of impeachment against President Trump. Take a look and a listen to this weird dude. His odd priorities are not a one-off. Recently a citizen reporter interviewed Thanedar and asked him to specifically name prominent cities in the Congressional district he represents. Thanedar couldn’t do it, begging off by saying “I’m not here to answer a quiz.” Take a look.

Beneath Slocum’s wit is a very real issue: for too long we’ve normalized making celebrities out of our politicians, to the point that our politicians now look and act more likely stupid celebrities than actual leaders. Every elected official is paid for by you. Every elected official is chosen for their job by you. At no time should a politician refuse to answer a question that relates to their position. It’s just that simple. You need to stop choosing political celebrities over the folks who just want to make America a better place for all of us. Usually, the underdog — the quietest, most under-funded name in the race — is the one who deserves the chance to lead us.

ANGEL STUDIOS: ‘Homestead’ Receives Greenlight For 2 Seasons Starring Huge Cast
Press release received by The Modern Memo. Provo, UT – May 13, 2025 – Angel, the film & TV platform curated by more than one million members of the Angel Guild, has officially greenlit both the completion of season one, as well as the full second season of its gripping post-apocalyptic drama Homestead: The Series. Following the success of the 2024 feature film Homestead, the spin-off series stars Bailey Chase (Longmire), Charles Esten (Nashville), Dawn Oliveri (1883), Jill Wagner (Lioness), and Jesse Hutch (Freddy vs. Jason). “Homestead has captivated audiences worldwide with its bold and uplifting vision of the post-apocalyptic genre,” said Jordan Harmon, President of Angel. “The stellar cast, fueled by the unwavering support of our Angel Guild, has not only has allowed us to greenlight the completion of Season 1 but also secured an early greenlight for Season 2, ensuring fans can dive back into the story sooner than ever.” Season 2 will continue to follow the residents of the Homestead as they navigate new threats, internal conflicts, and the ongoing struggle to rebuild in a fractured world. Directed by Ben Smallbone and produced by Ben Kasica and Andrea Royer, the series promises to deliver more of the intense drama and redemptive storytelling that made the first season a standout. (RELATED: Best Crops To Grow During A Nuclear Apocalypse, According To Scientists) Showrunner Kasica explains, “The remaining Season 1 & 2 takes us deeper into the aftermath, as the Homestead transforms from a survivalist stronghold into the fragile heart of a new civilization – where rising hope collides with the threat of war, and the choice to lead could cost everything.” Based on the bestselling Black Autumn book series by Jeff Kirkham and Jason Ross, Homestead captivated audiences with its unique blend of action, faith-driven hope, and themes of resilience and community. The story follows ex-Green Beret Jeff Eriksson (Chase), who leads his family to a fortified prepper compound after a nuclear detonation in Los Angeles plunges the nation into chaos. Alongside key characters played by Esten and Hutch, the series explores survival, unity, and the strength of the human spirit in a collapsing world. Season 1 of Homestead: The Series premiered alongside the theatrical release of the Homestead film on December 20, 2024, and garnered praise for its compelling narrative and strong ensemble cast. The film grossed $6 million during its opening weekend, and achieved a domestic gross box office of over $20M, outperforming expectations in a competitive holiday box office. (RELATED: Mainstream Media Finally Wakes Up To Massive Geological Threat To US) “We’re thrilled to bring Homestead back for another season,” said director Ben Smallbone. “The story’s heart lies in its characters and their journey to find hope amidst chaos. With Bailey and Charles leading the charge, we’re excited to explore new dimensions of their stories and the world they’re fighting to protect.” Production for the remainder of Season 1 is slated to begin in summer 2025, with a targeted release beginning in late 2025. The series will stream exclusively on the Angel Studios website and mobile app. Action Suggestion from The Modern Memo Right now, there’s not a lot to do with this information other than wait for the series to drop. In the meantime, why not catch up on “Homestead” via the Angel Studios app? Alternatively, there are countless post-apocalyptic thrillers available to stream and watch online. Many of them are quite scary, and probably not recommended for family viewing. Why not check out something lighter instead, like “The Chosen?”

Gavin Newsom Begs Regulators To Keep Refineries In Biz After California Dems Ran Industry Out Of Town
This article was written by Nick Pope for the Daily Caller News Foundation (April 23, 2025) Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom is asking a state regulator to try to keep oil refineries in business in the state after Democrats spent years targeting the industry with aggressive regulation. Newsom wrote to California Energy Commission (CEC) Vice Chair Siva Gunda on Monday to urge that Gunda and the CEC “redouble” their efforts to keep fuel refiners in the state on the heels of Valero’s announcement that it will be taking at least one of its California refineries offline by April 2026. In the letter, Newsom attempts to characterize the state’s dwindling refining presence as part of a wider national trend, but analysts have warned for years that California’s hostile regulatory environment is what is truly driving the fossil fuel industry’s retreat from the state. “I write to direct you to redouble the State’s efforts to work closely with refiners on short- and long-term planning, including through high-level, immediate engagement, to help ensure that Californians continue to have access to a safe, affordable and reliable supply of transportation fuels, and that refiners continue to see the value in serving the California market, even as demand for fossil fuels continues its gradual decline over the coming decades,” the letter states. “Further, I am directing you, as my Administration’s lead representative on this issue, to reinforce the State’s openness to a collaborative relationship and our firm belief that Californians can be protected from price spikes and refiners can profitably operate in California — a market where demand for gasoline will still exist for years to come.” Valero announced on April 16 that it intends “to idle, restructure, or cease refining operations at Valero’s Benicia Refinery by the end of April 2026.” Patrick De Haan, a gasoline analyst, noted in an April 16 post to X that Valero’s announcement will leave only seven refineries in California by April 2026. For comparison, the state had 20 refineries as of 2000, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. California’s “cap-and-trade” program, as well as its tax environment and push to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars in the state by 2035, are frequently cited as examples of hostile regulation driving refineries out of the state. Meanwhile, Newsom and other California Democrats like Attorney General Rob Bonta have ripped the fossil fuel industry for years, often characterizing it as a malignant force in society or a collusive industry committed to misleading consumers. (MORE NEWS: Mainstream Media Finally Wakes Up To Massive Geological Threat To US) A spokesman for Newsom said that “the Governor’s letter speaks for itself.” California has the highest average per-gallon price of gas at the pump of any state in the country, according to AAA gas price data. Meanwhile, California regulators have proposed to more deeply involve the state in the management of refineries, including the prospect of state-owned refineries. Andy Walz, president of Chevron Americas products, described California as a “tough place to do business” in August 2024 after his company decided to move its headquarters out of the state earlier that year. Walz specifically identified California’s “cap-and-trade” rules and the gas-powered car ban as specific headwinds that helped lead Chevron to its decision to move its center of gravity elsewhere. ‘No Environmental Benefit’ “For well over two decades now, politicians like Governor Newsom have hammered California’s conventional energy producers, both large and small, with excessive taxes, regulations, and threats of profit taking,” Tom Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, previously told the DCNF. “Many companies have already moved out of the state, along with hundreds of thousands of residents as a result of these and other harmful policies … like a cap on profit margins, that hurt consumers by making conventional energy investments uneconomic. These types of policies have outsourced jobs to other states and increased California’s reliance on oil and electricity imports — all with little or no environmental benefit.” (MORE FROM CALIFORNIA: Complicit? California Democrats Send Another Child Sex Trafficking Bill Into Oblivion – LGBTQ Concerns Raised) In the letter, Newsom pointed to the recent closure of the LyondellBasell refinery in Houston and the Trump administration’s trade policies to support his argument that refinery closures are part of a broader national trend. When LyondellBasell announced that the refinery would close in January, the company said that it is getting out of the refining business altogether and focusing instead on low-carbon energy. Analysis from The Modern Memo Have you ever heard the phrase: “play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” We exist in an oil-based economy. Our entire civilization is built on oil and gas. The existence of our renewable energies industry is exclusively dependent on oil and gas, because we can’t make and transport things like solar panels and wind turbines without oil and gas. Unfortunately, the world is far too divided for any type of zero-point energy, like that created by Nikola Tesla, to be viable for any macro roll-out. We therefore need a means of balancing our energy needs with our economy and natural environment. Part of that balance starts with electing people who don’t push stupid legislation that can upend our stability as a nation. Instead of short-term, click-bait bills and legislation designed for the limited time elected officials have between reelection campaigns, we need leaders who focus on long-term solutions to all of the major societal issues we’re facing today.

Best Crops To Grow During A Nuclear Apocalypse, According To Scientists
An article published in early May by Live Science revealed what some experts believe would be the best crops to grow during a nuclear winter, or following a solar storm or similarly catastrophic event. Congratulations, you’re one of the few people who managed to survive nuclear war, the next extreme pandemic, or the crushing blow of a solar storm. Your goal is to plant sugar beets, spinach, wheat and carrots, as these are your go-to apocalypse crops, according to a study published in the journal PLOS One. The scientists wanted to figure out the best crops for people surviving on small amounts of land. While the study wasn’t inspired by any particular global event, lead author Matt Boyd noted to Live Science that the study “turned out to be very relevant, obviously, to the current geopolitical environment.” What Is The Best Inner-City Crop? The study looked at the best crops to grow in a city during normal times, and then during a nuclear winter. It turns out that peas are the best because of their high protein content and they’re well adapted to grow in small spaces. “If you want to feed someone, growing peas minimizes the amount of land you need to feed that person,” Boyd continued. (RELATED: Guys, We May Have Found The Most Addictive New Outdoors Show On YouTube) But if you live in climates that can get a little chilly, peas aren’t going to be your best friend. The plant isn’t frost resistant, meaning they’re not great for growing during a nuclear winter (or volcanic winter, or the aftermath of an asteroid impact, all of which have relatively similar outcomes day-to-day). Spinach and sugar beets were found to be the best for such conditions, so be sure to stock up on some seeds before it’s too late! The major limitation of the study is that city dwellers are probably the least likely to survive any type of apocalypse. (RELATED: Joe Pags Launches ‘Unshaken And Unafraid’ With Salem Media Group; WATCH The Epic Premiere Episode) Actually, city folks are the least likely to survive in a minor societal disruption that upends our food and water supply. Those who did make it through will either hunker down in their homes or venture out into the natural world and somehow find a way; and they might set-up themselves and their communities for long-term success. “People settled cities where they did for a good reason,” one expert Theresa Nogeire-McRae told Live Science. “It was the rich soil near riverbanks. It’s a good commodity. Let’s not throw that away.” Get Involved Today! Very few mid-sized American cities have open, clean land around their major rivers, and the waterways are typically filled with filth. Most of these areas were turned over to industry over the last hundred years, or coated in concrete for the purposes of “urban planning.” Urban gardening and agriculture is something we care about deeply at The Modern Memo. If you live in a city or town on a river, take a photo of any open land that you think could be used for crop production.

Mainstream Media Finally Wakes Up To Massive Geological Threat To US
A study published in late April has finally woken up the mainstream news media to the threat of the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a boundary that could reconfigure the physical landscape of the Pacific coast when it next shakes. The Cascadia fault stretches a startling 600(ish) miles from the northern reaches of California through to British Columbia, according to AccuWeather. Quakes in this region go mostly ignored, but only because a monstrous tectonic rupture hasn’t hit for an estimated 300 or more years. When Cascadia awakens, she shakes the West coast with a magnitude-9.0 quake for upwards of five minutes, often sending a tsunami upwards of 100 feet tall toward the shoreline, NBC reported. The latest study points to a new threat posed by the fault. “Along the Washington, Oregon, and northern California coasts, the next great Cascadia subduction zone earthquake could cause up to 2 m [6.5 feet] of sudden coastal subsidence, dramatically raising sea level, expanding floodplains, and increasing the flood risk to local communities,” the authors wrote. Where Is The Risk Area? Major cities in the risk area include Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, but also those to the north and south and eastwards in-land. “This lesser talked about hazard is going to persist for decades or centuries after the earthquake,” co-author Tina Dura told NBC. “The tsunami will come in and wash away and it’s going to have big impacts, don’t get me wrong, but the lasting change of the frequency of flooding … that’s going to have to be dealt with.” (EXCLUSIVE: 20,000,000 Sick Americans Abandoned By Medical ‘Oligarchy’ Controlled By Elites; Can We Fix It?) Fossil records suggest the land-drop during previous Cascadia quakes turned dry ground into tidal mudflats along estuaries throughout the Pacific Northwest. “That’s going to happen again and we’ve built up a lot of those areas,” she added. It’s a good time to remember that the most dangerous earthquake fault on the West Coast is the Cascadia Subduction Zone, not the San Andreas Fault. The Cascadia Subduction Zone is capable of producing a megathrust earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0+ and a resulting tsunami up to… pic.twitter.com/9znJ9Sz4tM — Colin McCarthy (@US_Stormwatch) December 5, 2024 When Can We Expect Another Quake? Cascadia last shook in 1700, with previous quakes hitting once every 450-500 years on average. The National Seismic Hazard Model estimates a 15% chance of a magnitude-8.0 or stronger quake within the next 50 years. (RELATED: Joe Pags Launches ‘Unshaken And Unafraid’ With Salem Media Group; WATCH The Epic Premiere Episode) Federal officials, experts, basically anyone who knows about Cascadia believes that when the quake hits, it will likely be the worst natural disaster in the nation’s history, with reports suggesting: 14,000 fatalities* 100,000+ injuries 620,000 buildings collapsed, including 100 hospitals and 2,000 schools There are more than 2,500,000 people living between Portland and Vancouver. We believe these estimates are conservative and only represent those killed by direct impacts from the earthquake and tsunami. “There’s the flood itself and then there’s the basically permanent change to land level at the coast and that has a big impact for what those communities have to plan for,” Pacific Northwest Seismic Network Harold Tobin explained to NBC. “Where are you going to put your school or hospital? Where are you going to build your transportation network? I think it’s important to take the long view.” Long-term Planning Shortened Pain A great failure of the western mindset is our ignorance of time. We eat news in three meals a day, throw out fads faster than seasons change; we replace our politicians rapidly — and this is a good thing, as we all know how power corrupts. But we must reshape our thinking toward the natural world. We do not dominate our physical landscape. We are placed here as shepherds, existing at the will and mercy of our living planet. It would be wonderful if everyone could shut up about “issues like climate change” and instead learn to live in symbiosis with the things God gave us so we can prosper for generations to come. We hope to foster an environment of common sense education around the world and all her processes here at The Modern Memo.
