A new research study has found surprising results – if the People's Republic of China is unable to persuade its Southeast Asian neighbors to allow it to lead the region, global dominance will be a much harder task for China to achieve.

Researchers Selina Ho and Terence Lee from the National University of Singapore, conducted a survey of elites spread throughout Southeast Asian nations who were "least likely to acquiesce" to a China-led regional order. The survey gauged how they perceive China, its influence, and whether or not it has the authority to govern.

Results indicated that while China is viewed as influential by elites in the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia, most felt China did not have the authority to preside over the region, with the difference in political values being one of the biggest points of contention.

Surprise! China's future world dominance may not be in its own hands

A judge in Athens, Georgia, Wednesday reached a verdict for Jose Ibarra, the illegal alien accused of murdering Augusta University student Laken Riley on the University of Georgia campus in February.

Despite pleading not guilty, the suspect was found guilty of all 10 counts, including one count of malice murder, three counts of felony murder, one count of kidnapping, one count of aggravated assault with intent to rape, one count of aggravated battery, one count of hindering a 9-1-1 emergency call, one count of tampering with evidence and one count of being a peeping Tom.

"Laken Riley herself has given you all the evidence you need alone to find this man guilty of every single count in this indictment," prosecutor Sheila Ross said Wednesday in her closing statement. "She did fight, and it is a direct result of that fight that gives you all the physical evidence you need to convict him."

Victim's sister: 'That predator is inhuman and the epitome of evil'

Well-known Colorado-based abortionist Warren Hern has for years been one of the few abortionists willing to commit late-term abortions through all nine months of pregnancy for essentially any reason. Yet the media has consistently been pushing a narrative that late-term abortions are only committed in cases of medical necessity, despite the reality of the situation – and statements made by abortionists like Hern himself.

Hern recently appeared on The Michael Shermer Show, where he was asked about the kinds of women he sees in his abortion business. "Are people coming to you from other states now?" Shermer asked. "You're in Colorado."

"Yeah, I've had patients coming to me from all over the country since I opened my practice," Hern responded. "And that's been especially true since I developed the techniques and instruments and procedures for doing the later abortions, which are much more difficult and take a lot more expertise and experience." Hern was likely referring to the dilation and evacuation (D&E) procedure, which he says he pioneered in the 1970s, claiming it was safer for women than previous late-term abortion procedures, like saline abortions.

The Welsh government has been advised to create dog free spaces in outdoor public areas after an 'anti-racist' group asserted it is making black Africans 'feel unsafe.'

The environmental group Climate Cymru BAME has issued a report instructing the government to create "dog-free areas in local green spaces" as part of an "anti-racist" drive to make the country more "inclusive".

The advice was reinforced by another group, the North Wales Africa Society, which complained that "one black African female stated that she feels unsafe with the presence of dogs" during a focus group meeting.

Almost three-fourths of voters say it should be illegal to subject children to transgender medical interventions, according to a new poll from Napolitan News Service.
