(DC Pundit) – In a recent interview on CNN’s ‘Smerconish,’ former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed concern over the lack of regulation on social media platforms, stating that “we lose total control” if stronger measures aren’t implemented to moderate online content.

Clinton emphasized the need for national action, particularly from Congress, which she described as “dysfunctional” in addressing the threats posed by unregulated social media. “This should be at the top of every legislative, political agenda,” she said, advocating for significant changes to how platforms are held accountable.

In particular, Clinton called for the repeal of Section 230, a legal provision that grants online platforms immunity from liability for user-generated content. “They were thought to be just pass-throughs… But we now know that that was an overly simple view,” she explained. Clinton argued that platforms like Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok must actively monitor and moderate harmful content. Without such oversight, she warned, “it’s not just the social and psychological effects, it’s real harm,” referencing issues like child pornography and violent threats.

Clinton also stressed the importance of removing the immunity these companies currently enjoy, urging for clear “guardrails” and regulations to ensure user safety. “We’ve conducted a big experiment on ourselves and particularly our kids,” she said, advocating for stricter measures in schools, including policies requiring students to turn in their phones upon arrival.

THEY ADMITTED IT

Hillary Clinton says they will "lose total control" if social media like X isn't engaging in censorship.

According to Clinton, the evidence is clear: more must be done to protect society, especially children, from the dangers of unregulated social media content.

(DC Pundit) – Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, currently in the spotlight as a vice-presidential contender, has a notably close relationship with China that raises questions about his foreign affiliations.

“No matter how long I live, I will never be treated that well again… it was an excellent experience,” Walz recalled after his initial visit to China. He described how his Chinese hosts showered him with “more gifts than I could bring home.”

Walz’s first visit to China occurred in 1989 through a Harvard program known as WorldTeach, which has since been discontinued. His fascination with the country deepened to such an extent that he and his wife chose China as their honeymoon destination after their marriage on June 4, 1994—coinciding with the fifth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. According to Walz’s wife, he wanted a wedding anniversary date he would “always remember.”

The couple did not embark on this honeymoon alone; they brought along sixty students, initiating the first of many educational exchange trips to China. They later established a company, Education Travel Adventures Inc., to manage these trips, ultimately leading to over thirty visits to the country.

Walz has maintained ongoing relationships with Chinese officials and has participated in events backed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). His numerous connections with organizations linked to CCP intelligence have sparked national security concerns regarding his potential role in a Harris-Walz administration.

Just ten months after taking office as governor, Walz accepted an invitation to speak at an event supported by the CCP, sharing the stage with the president of the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC). Walz was asked to “speak about his experiences [in China] and Minnesota’s connections with China.” Additionally, he was a featured speaker at the 2019 U.S. China Peoples Friendship Association convention, where he appeared alongside CPAFFC President Li Xiaolin.

The CPAFFC, according to the U.S. State Department, functions as a CCP “United Front” entity, accused of “directly and malignly influencing” U.S. state and local politicians. The United Front is tasked with “co-opting and neutralizing threats to the party’s rule and spreading its influence and propaganda overseas.” The CCP regards this operation as a “magic weapon” to advance its global objectives.

The question arises: Why is Walz so closely aligned with individuals connected to CCP intelligence, and is he being compensated for his participation in these events?

In 2011, Walz spoke of his “great admiration for and a close connection with the Chinese people” following his teaching experience in China. He indirectly lauded the CCP’s stringent policing, remarking that China had “almost no crime.”

Walz has also expressed the belief that the U.S. need not maintain an “adversarial relationship” with China, adding that he observed “no anti-American feeling [in China] whatsoever.”

Significantly, Walz’s mild critiques often omit the role of communism in the Chinese system’s brutality. Recently, he even compared socialism to “neighborliness.” Walz appears to regard human rights abuses as occurrences that every nation, including the U.S., experiences at some point and subsequently moves past.

On the twentieth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, Walz stated that “every nation has its dark periods that it must come to grips with,” adding that “this Nation [the U.S.] is no exception.” While his statement holds some truth, Walz was referencing events in American history that occurred over a century ago and involved far less bloodshed.

Meanwhile, the CCP’s ongoing persecution of ethnic minorities in China—characterized as a “break their lineage, break their roots” campaign—has been widely recognized as a crime against humanity and even genocide.

This raises the critical question: Why does Tim Walz appear to downplay the undeniable atrocities committed under communism and socialism?

(DC Pundit) – Chelsea Clinton is eyeing an ambassadorship if Kamala Harris secures the presidency this November, sources revealed to the New York Post. The United Kingdom is reportedly her top choice for a diplomatic post.

“Chelsea really wants to be the ambassador to the UK,” a Clinton disclosed to the outlet. “There’s a reason why Bill and Hillary came out in the first five minutes to support Kamala’s presidential bid — they were currying favor.”

The source mentioned that the Clintons have been strategizing this move for a considerable time and aim for Chelsea to be accepted by The Court of St James’s.

At 44, the former first daughter and vice chair of the Clinton Foundation, would also be interested in a posting in France, the source added.

“I can well imagine that the UK ambassadorship is an aspiration for Chelsea, although she is a bit junior still — and London usually goes to a massive donor or fundraiser,” a long-serving British embassy official, now in London, told the Post.

The Clinton source acknowledged Chelsea’s UK ambition, saying, “It is, of course, fantasy land.”

Another individual indicated that Chelsea would be open to ambassadorships in other countries as well. “I’ve heard for a long time that Chelsea has been hopeful for an ambassadorship,” they noted.

Chelsea, who holds the position of vice chair at the Clinton Foundation, previously lived in the UK while studying at the University of Oxford.

Businesswoman Jane Hartley, 74, has served as the ambassador to the UK since 2022, following former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s reported decline of the position, according to the Independent.

(DC Pundit) – A recent report by a well-regarded investigative journalist reveals a huge Obama-Biden bombshell.

On Saturday, Seymour Hersh detailed on his Substack that sources informed him of a phone call between Barack Obama and Joe Biden, which took place three days after the unsettling episode. According to Hersh, Obama told Biden on July 20 that he had Kamala Harris’s approval to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove him from office.

Hersh wrote:

“I went over (reports) this week with a senior official in Washington who helped me fashion an account of a White House in complete disarray,” Hersh said.
“Obama called Biden after breakfast (on July 20) and said, ‘Here’s the deal. We have Kamala’s approval to invoke the 25th Amendment,’” he continued.

Hersh also verified that Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries were directly involved.

NEW: Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh suggests Barack Obama threatened Biden with the 25th Amendment, saying he had "Kamala's approval" to force him out of the 2024 race.

Holy sh*t.

Additionally, Hersh mentioned that while Obama did not intend to immediately endorse Kamala Harris, it was apparent she would eventually “get the nod.”

“He (Obama) had an agenda, and he wanted to see it through to the end, and he wanted to have control over who would be elected,” Hersh penned.
