If we listen to their positions on crucial issues and examine the bills they support in the House of Representatives, lawmakers branded as leftists are the ones more in tune with public interest. Of course, there are some independent or opposition representatives who occasionally act as mavericks, but left-leaning legislators as a group are more consistent in supporting positions that look, sound, and feel anchored on principles and ideals. But why are they being persecuted, harassed, and their lives and security threatened? Why are they constantly Red-tagged and branded as terrorists? The common claim is that they masquerade as parliamentarians, but are, in reality, covert members or even officers of the communist movement that is engaged in armed rebellion to overthrow the government.

LOS ANGELES – The Dallas Mavericks' downward spiral continued with a 110-104 loss to the Hornets in Charlotte, where Mavs star Luka Doncic received his 16th technical foul of the season, which will trigger an automatic one-game suspension. Doncic scored 40 points, but it wasn't enough to stave off a second loss in three days to the hapless Hornets — who are second-to-last in the Eastern Conference. Gordon Hayward scored 22 points and P.J. Washington added 21 points with 12 rebounds for Charlotte, who have already been eliminated from post-season contention.

BEIJING — China and Russia conducted a joint air patrol on Tuesday over the Sea of Japan and East China Sea for a sixth time since 2019, prompting neighboring South Korea and Japan to scramble fighter jets. China's defense ministry said the patrol was part of the two militaries' annual cooperation plan. South Korea scrambled fighter jets, according to its military, after four Russian and four Chinese military aircraft entered its air defense zone in the south and east of the Korean peninsula. Japan's military said it had scrambled fighter jets after verifying that two Russian bombers had joined two Chinese bombers over the Sea of Japan and flown together as far as the East China Sea, where they were joined by two Chinese fighter planes.
