Ex-Bush official mocked after ‘finding out he’s part of a criminal protection racket’
A Republican political figure was mocked on social media after he expressed outrage at Donald Trump’s latest move. Specifically, former George W. Bush administration White House press secretary Ari Fleischer, a Fox News contributor who served as press secretary under then-President Bush from January 2001 to July 2003, was confused as to why Trump commuted the prion sentence of disgraced GOP ex-lawmaker George Santos.”Why? This is a mistake,” Fleischer wrote on social media over the weekend. “Wire fraud and identity theft are serious crimes.”That led to numerous people calling out the GOP figure, including conservative strategist Tim Miller, who answered Fleischer:”Because you supported someone who is running a corrupt banana republic style government where enemies are prosecuted, criminal friends are pardoned, and foreign interests can buy favor by investing the leaders cryptocurrency. Hope that helps.”National security journalist Marcy “emptywheel” Wheeler also chimed in with, “Ari Fleischer discovers he’s part of a criminal protection racket.”.

Has Xi Jinping Lost Control of China’s Military — And China Itself? by Gordon G. Chang
Tellingly, the most senior of the nine officers axed on the 17th was General He Weidong, the second-ranked vice chairman of the Commission and Xi Jinping’s No. 1 loyalist in the PLA. The general had gained prominence as Xi’s top enforcer in the military. Gen. He was not the only officer who backed Xi and has now been taken out of the military’s leadership ranks. Moreover, it is difficult to identify any Xi adversary who was purged in the last 18 months. It is unlikely, at a time Xi Jinping appears to be fighting for political survival, that he would remove his most important supporter in the military. It is far more probable that Xi has lost control of the People’s Liberation Army, especially because the removals strengthen Gen. Zhang, Xi’s adversary. China, by Thursday, could have a new leader. Or a new round of purges. On October 17, China’s Ministry of National Defense announced that the Communist Party’s Central Committee and Central Military Commission had, after investigations, removed nine senior officers from their posts in the People’s Liberation Army. The stunning announcement occurred on the eve of the long-delayed Fourth Plenum of the Party’s 20th Central Committee, scheduled to start tomorrow, October 20, and continue for four days. On the agenda are crucial economic matters, including the country’s 15th Five-Year Plan, which covers the rest of the decade, 2026-2030.

Salman Khan’s security on the sets of Battle Of Galwan is impregnable
Anyone trying to harm Salman Khan during the shooting of his underproduction film Battle Of Galwan will find it hard to penetrate the three-tier security arrangement.The security bandobast is impregnable and unbreakable.A source close to the project informed, “Salman travels nationally and internationally with his private security in-charge (Shera), and with a core security of 15 other trained commandos. Then there is the third tier of security provided by the government. When they were shooting in Leh, the government provided the security net given to the biggest VVIP politicians.”Currently shooting for Battle Of Galwan in Mumbai, Salman is provided with an elaborate security arrangement not provided to any actor in India before.Said the source, “The entire cast and crew of the Battle Of Galwan have to surrender their cell phones a mile away from the actual location. This includes Salman himself and the director Apoorva Lakhia, as any interceptor can track down Salman through any phone present on location. At the end of the day, every crew member’s phone is scrutinized for suspicious movement. Guests desirous of visiting Salman on the sets have to get their Aadhaar Cards scanned and approved in advance.”Isn’t it cumbersome to shoot with so many hurdles?“Not at all. Salman has learnt to live with the security. Fifteen of the security guards are on the actual set with him. But they are trained to make themselves invisible. Not once does Apoorva Lakhia have to yell at them for coming in the way of the camera,” said the source.Also Read: Salman Khan shoots patriotic song with 60 dancers for Battle of Galwan: Report
