COLD WAR II: Chinese networks use U.S. to launder billions for Mexican cartels.

“Money laundering networks linked to individual passport holders from the People’s Republic of China enable cartels to poison Americans with fentanyl, conduct human trafficking, and wreak havoc among communities across our great nation,” Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence John Hurley said.

The report comes after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suspended a Biden-era small business rule in March designed to curb money laundering that small businesses had challenged in court. President Donald Trump said the Corporate Transparency Act, which Congress passed in 2021, was “outrageous and invasive.” Bessent said it was costly for small businesses. The CTA would have required small businesses to report information about their beneficial owners to Treasury’s FinCEN. The rules remain in place for foreign businesses.

The FinCEN report noted that laws and regulations in Mexico and China also play a role.

“Mexico’s currency restrictions prevent large amounts of U.S. dollars from being deposited into Mexican financial institutions, hindering the cartels’ ability to launder funds through the formal Mexican financial system,” according to the report. The [People’s Republic of China] currency control laws limit the amount of money Chinese citizens can transfer abroad each year.”

The two groups have learned to work well together in recent years. FinCEN refers to Chinese money laundering networks as CMLNs.

If you think of the CCP as a multitrillion-dollar crime family, it all makes sense.

DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES: WA businesses preparing for new retail sales taxes to hit consumers Oct 1.

According to the Washington Department of Revenue, new business activities impacted by the tax include advertising services, live presentations, information technology services, custom website development services and more.

“Not only is it going to be a significant new tax on a whole host of things, but it’s so poorly defined….you know, food, gas, housing, childcare, healthcare, it’s all getting taxed,” Sen. John Braun, R-Centralia, told The Center Square. “It’s all going to accrue to a higher cost of living for Washingtonians across the state. And that’s bad, that’s really bad.”

In an Aug 22 commentary, Braun wrote, “The sales-tax hike isn’t the largest of the tax increases that will hit when October arrives. That title belongs to the jump in the business-and-occupation tax rate, which is expected to take another $5.6 billion from Washington employers over four years.”

Braun noted the Washington DOR typically has months or longer to spell out exactly how new taxes will impact businesses. This year, majority Democrats rushed through major tax hikes in the final days of the 2025 legislative session, giving the department little time to provide details.

“Normally what you’d see is the Department of Revenue going through a formal rulemaking process with input from tax professionals saying, ‘OK, what about this, and what about this? How do I give advice to my clients on this to make sure that they collect it?’” said Braun.

Braun said the tax on “presentations” leaves a lot of room for interpretation.

“That could be entertainment. It could be education. It could be a safety brief or driver training. All that stuff under this broad law that could be taxed,” said Braun.

The Tax Foundation ranked Washington state at 35th place in its business tax climate index for 2024. This new ought to help push them down into the bottom quintile.

GRAHAM LINEHAN: I just got arrested again. “I arrived back in London to discover the UK is still a police state run by trans activists.”

Something odd happened before I even boarded the flight in Arizona. When I handed over my passport at the gate, the official told me I didn’t have a seat and had to be re-ticketed. At the time, I thought it was just the sort of innocent snafu that makes air travel such a joy. But in hindsight, it was clear I’d been flagged. Someone, somewhere, probably wearing unconvincing make-up and his sister/wife’s/mum’s underwear, had made a phone call.

The moment I stepped off the plane at Heathrow, five armed police officers were waiting. Not one, not two—five. They escorted me to a private area and told me I was under arrest for three tweets. In a country where paedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak, the state had mobilised five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: J.K. Rowling Might End Up Canceling Cancel Culture All on Her Own. “Rowling has been giving a years-long master class in how to deal with the lunatic leftist ‘you will be made to care’ idiots who insist that men can menstruate and have babies. They’ve done everything that they can to cancel her and poison her legacy, repeatedly harassing her online, spewing the venom that we’ve all come to expect from the tolerant leftists. Rowling handles them all with good cheer and a rapier wit.”

IMPRESSIVE: ‘1,000 Days Without Homicides.’ “Over the weekend, Bukele announced on X that El Salvador has gone “1,000 days without homicides” since he took office. These aren’t consecutive days, mind you, but they’re a major improvement over what was going on in that country before his leadership began.”

Bukele has been in office for less than 2300 days, and his cartel crackdown didn’t begin in earnest until 2022.

STEPHEN MILLER: Single Greatest Abuse Of Voting In Any Democracy In The World Is The Democrat Party’s Policy Of Mail-In Ballots.

The single greatest abuse of voting in any democracy in the world today is the Democrat Party’s policy of mass, anonymous, unverified mail in ballots. I mean, just think about this for a second. Any one in California can drop off a ballot where they don’t verify the citizenship of who submits it, the residency, the age, the criminal history, the eligibility or the signature, completely anonymous vote by mail, voting by cellphone would be vastly more secure than a system of tens of millions of unverified, unsolicited, unregistered mail in ballots with no identity verification, including of course, no citizenship verification.

On top of that, Laura, as we know, California has outright stolen House seats just by counting illegal aliens in the census. There are entire members of Congress from California whose districts only exist because their constituents are illegal aliens. There’s — you’ll never find an example of a more direct theft of American franchise and civil rights than creating Democrat House seats comprised of illegal alien constituents.

Democrat opposition to removing illegal aliens has nothing to do with opposition to so-called fascism.

2026 PREVIEW: The Canaries in the Coalmine: In Just 63 Days, We’ll Know If the GOP Will Win the 2026 Midterms. “If the GOP wins either Virginia or New Jersey, it will likely mean that the national realignment is still ongoing, and the Republicans are still on the upswing. That, coupled with the Democrats’ disastrous brand identity, would give the GOP a solid 50%-50% shot at winning the midterms and keeping the House.”

CHANGE: Trump says India offering to cut all tariffs in US trade agreement. “What few people understand is that we do very little business with India, but they do a tremendous amount of business with us. In other words, they sell us massive amounts of goods, their biggest ‘client,’ but we sell them very little – Until now a totally one sided relationship, and it has been for many decades.”
