CHINESE COUPLE CAUGHT SNEAKING CROP-KILLING FUNGUS INTO MICHIGAN LAB?!
2 Chinese nationals tried smuggling a deadly fungus into the U.S. that can destroy crops and poison food.
Prosecutors say Zunyong Liu flew it into Detroit for his girlfriend Yunqing Jian, who works at a University of Michigan lab not cleared for biohazards.
The fungus, Fusarium graminearum, devastates wheat, corn and rice, causes vomiting and liver damage, and is labeled a potential agroterrorism weapon.
It triggers billions in crop losses yearly.
Officials say Jian’s research was funded by China and that she’s a Communist Party member.
Liu was deported.
Jian faces charges of conspiracy, smuggling, visa fraud and lying to officials.
U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgon Jr. called it a major national security threat.

In 1983, America's biggest daytime talk show did something that's never happened since.
It spent an hour on a live debate on the DPT shot and vaccine mandates. Injured kids were in the studio, and the host asked what no host would dare ask today:
"Why does it have to be a law? Should we have the freedom to decide?"
🇺🇸 A Red Baron delivery worker went viral after snapping at a social media prankster who pretended to steal $10 from his phone via Apple Pay while he was working.
The father of four broke down over his exhausting schedule and financial struggles, prompting the internet to rally behind him. A GoFundMe has since raised more than $500,000, while Red Baron publicly backed the employee and confirmed his job is safe.
