The deal would impose no review
of human rights and impose no conditions for democratic reforms, supervised
multi-party elections and such. All that, and more, is already a done deal with
China, like the USSR a one-party Communist dictatorship that never produced a
single product the United States needs. This has come about, in large part, due
to U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, San Francisco Democrat.

Pinkerton: Chinese Propagandist Meddles in American Politics
7:21
Chen Weihau works for the government-owned China Daily, reliably cranking out articles with headlines such as “White House must concentrate on fighting outbreak, not China-bashing” and “Washington must stop making decisions which undermine WHO.”
In other words, his journalistic output nicely coincides with the People’s Republic of China’s propaganda plans, from deflecting blame for the coronavirus away from Beijing to defending Beijing’s minions at the World Health Organization.
Yet Chen’s Twitter feed is more raw and personal—it reads as if it’s not filtered through any sort of editor—and so it’s more revealing. For instance, on May 4, reacting to a report about U.S. intelligence on the origins of the Wuhan virus, he tweeted, “Trump and Pompeo are not even good liars.”
The next day, May 5, he tweeted that Trump was speaking “nonsense,” adding in non-idiomatic English, “Why no one can stop him lying?”
Not only does Chen bash the president and his administration reliably, he also echoes, eagerly, top Democrats and leading Never Trumpers. Indeed, on May 5, he pulled off a trifecta: First, he retweeted Hillary Clinton, the twice-failed—but still hopeful!—presidential candidate, who had snapped, “We must replace this administration in November.” Second, he retweeted an MSNBC tweet quoting Sen. Chuck Schumer trashing Trump. Third, he retweeted the Washington Post’s virulently Never Trump columnist, Jennifer Rubin. You get the idea.
Chen mixes it up with other Republicans as well. For instance, he tweeted a response to Sen. Josh Hawley’s New York Times op-ed calling for the abolition of the World Trade Organization. The WTO, of course, has been the neoliberal vehicle by which China has gained access to the American market, enabling it to flood the U.S. with low-wage-subsidized exports, thereby hollowing out our industries.
The WTO, in other words, is China’s golden goose, and so Chen, loyalist that he is, must seek to smite anyone who threatens it. Says Chen of Hawley: “Sometimes you wonder why NYT would publish such an oped by an ignorant politician. Just because he is a Senator?”
For his part, Hawley was quick to respond:
#China not happy about my call to confront their economic imperialism by ending the WTO & replacing it with system that’s good for American workers. I love being insulted by #China state-run press.
Okay, so we get the picture: Chen happily works for the Chinese state, that odd combination of ruthless capitalist economics and even more ruthless communist politics.
Yet if we look at Chen’s terse Twitter-page bio, we see something interesting: He has been the beneficiary of many liberal programs in the U.S. Evidently those programs have been failures, in terms of having any impact on him, at least in terms of making him a liberal in the classical sense—that is, being an open-minded defender of freedom.
For instance, Chen was a John S. Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford, in a program that describes its mission thusly:
We focus on helping these journalism leaders succeed as effective change agents, improving the access to information people need to create and sustain democratic communities. [emphasis added]
Yes, we might dwell on that last line, about building “democratic communities”—because Chen doesn’t so dwell.
Chen also lists himself as a onetime World Press Institute Fellow at Macalester College in Minnesota, where he was supposed to have spent “four months immersed in journalism issues and the culture of the United States.”
In addition, Chen spent time at the Freedom Forum in Washington, DC, which declares its mission to be “foster[ing] First Amendment freedoms for all.”
In other words, it seems that Chen passed through these and other do-gooder institutions—without the good rubbing off on him. Who knows? Maybe he was simply a spy.
Of course, it’s also possible that these supposedly free-speech outfits aren’t actually so liberal. That is, it’s possible that they have all gone the way of many other once-liberal institutions, transforming themselves into hard-leftists. We’re all familiar with that type: They’re “liberals” in terms of opposing conservatives, but not so liberal in terms of defending freedom of thought or of legal due process. To illustrate, we might ask ourselves: How many American liberals have defended free expression on college campuses? How many liberals defended the legal rights of Michael Flynn?
In other words, it’s an open question as to how much today’s liberals—perhaps we should call them what they usually prefer to call themselves, namely, progressives—really care about the Constitution and the speech- and due-process rights that it affords to all Americans? That non-liberal progressive attitude is fully reflected, of course, in today’s media.
In other words, if we regard the Knight Fellowships, the World Press Institute, and the Freedom Forum as progressive, then maybe Chen fits right in.
Perhaps this is an unfair characterization of these three organizations. Perhaps they think of Chen as a disappointment, even a failure, one who didn’t understand, or didn’t agree with, their free-press message.
If so, there’s one surefire way for these entities to address any mischaracterization: They can denounce Chen for falling short of their high First Amendment standards.
Or maybe these media philanthropies will do nothing of the kind. Maybe they still think fondly of Chen—and maybe they agree with him, at least in his critique of America.
In any case, at least for now, Chen seems happy to advertise his journalistic credentials without worrying about the credentialing outfits asking him to return his honorific certificates. And if that silence continues to be the case, well, that says something about Knight, WPI, and Freedom Forum. Moreover, there’s nothing stopping any journalist from criticizing Chen, an obvious propagandist in their midst. But will they do so?
And oh yes, there’s another item on Chen’s bio that’s worth noting. In all capital letters, he declares, “FREE ASSANGE.” Julian Assange, of course, is an intensely controversial figure in the West. Some say that the Australian-born Wikileaks founder is a pro-transparency crusader. Others say he’s a Russian stooge or spy. Still others say he’s a creepy sex offender.
All of these declarations about Assange—currently living in London, fighting an extradition order to send him to the U.S. to face espionage charges—could be true, or none of them could be true. Hopefully, a free press, and an impartial judiciary, will sort out the truth about Assange.
Yet for the time being, there’s one thing we can be absolutely certain of: If Assange were Chinese, and had been publishing unflattering leaks about the Chinese Communist Party, he’d have long ago been in jail—or worse. And Chen Weihau would be cheering the government on, probably typing “IMPRISON ASSANGE.”
Of course, if Chen were back in China, he wouldn’t be able to type those words on Twitter—because China bans Twitter.

Four
senators dumped millions of dollars worth of stock while Capitol Hill was being
briefed on the threat of coronavirus but before the markets tanked as
infections soared, disclosure records have revealed.
Republicans Richard Burr, Kelly Loeffler and
James Inhofe and Democrat Dianne Feinstein collectively offloaded up to
$11million in stock between late January and early February, according to
records seen by The Daily Beast, New York Times and ProPublica.
Burr,
chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee that was directly briefed on
coronavirus, sold up to $1.7million in stock including in hotels, according to
reporting from ProPublica.
Feinstein, a
member of the same committee, sold up to $6million in stock including in a
biotech firm.
Loeffler
dumped up to $3.1million in investments starting on the day the Senate Health
Committee, which she sits on, was briefed by the CDC. Meanwhile James Inhofe
sold up to $400,000 in stock including real estate.
Loeffler
and Feinstein have defended themselves, saying their stocks are invested in
trusts and portfolios that they have no personal control over. Inhofe has not
commented.
Burr's
spokeswoman said in a statement to DailyMail.com that Burr filed his financial
disclosure form several weeks before the markets showed
'volatility.'

February.
The
first sale was in the firm Resideo Technologies worth between $50,001 and
$100,000 and made on January 24, the same day her committee - the Senate Health
Committee - held a briefing with the CDC.
The
stock has since halved in value.
During

Burr
later went on to warn people at a meeting in Washington that coronavirus was
likely to cause significant disruption to businesses, even as Donald Trump was
playing down the threat.
Dianne
Feinstein, a Democratic member of the same committee, and her husband
also sold between $1.5 million and $6 million in stock in
California biotech company between late January and mid-February.
Elsewhere
James Inhofe, Republican of Oklahoma, sold stocks totaling $400,000 on January

Then,
on February 27 Burr gave well-heeled constituents from the Tar Heel State
a dire warning about the kind of chaos the coronavirus could
cause.
The North Carolina Republican is heard on a
secret recording obtained by NPR telling
members of the Tar Heel Circle on February 27 that the coronavirus was 'much

the North Carolina State Society. 'The message I shared with my constituents is

Senator Who Employed
Chinese Spy Endorses Joe
Biden for President
A high-profile U.S. senator with professional
and personal ties to China — including once employing one of its spies — is
backing former Vice President Joe Biden amid mounting questions over his son’s
business dealings with the communist regime.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), a
former chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, announced her
endorsement of the former vice president on Tuesday, claiming to have
witnessed Biden’s “fortitude” and leadership during their overlapping tenures
in Congress.
I’ve worked closely with Vice
President Biden and I’ve seen firsthand his legislative ability, his
statesmanship, and most importantly his moral fortitude (NO, IT’S NOT A JOKE,
BUT THEN FEINSTEIN IS THE MOST SELF-SERVING CORRUPT POL IN U.S. HISTORY).
During his time in Congress and in the White House, Joe Biden has been a
tireless fighter for hard working (ILLEGALS) MEXICAN families.

“He’s a

all over the globe. After all, that’s what you do, right? That’s part of the

America’s China Dependency Syndrome
Lessons from the USSR.
April 28, 2020
Lloyd
Billingsley
“Made in China” has been a familiar label on products for years
but it wasn’t until March of 2020 that Americans learned of the perils that
might entail. China threatened to impose export controls on
pharmaceuticals that would plunge America into “the mighty sea of coronavirus.”
Sen. Marco Rubio told reporters the United States was “dangerously
reliant” on China for critical goods, including parts for technologies needed
to fight COVID-19. Since 2004, Chinese pharmaceutical companies have been
supplying 80-90 percent of U.S. antibiotics. Americans might wonder how they
landed in such a dependent position, and that invites a comparison with the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
The world’s first socialist state, established in the world’s
largest nation, never produced a single product the West wanted or needed. For
all its vast natural resources, the USSR was an economic basket case, and by
the mid-1980s in serious trouble.
Suppose that some U.S. senator had then offered a trade deal that
ignored the regime’s human rights violations and allowed state-owned Soviet
companies to manufacture goods for the American market, all marked “Made In the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.” These would include vital pharmaceuticals
and the deal would allow the use of Soviet steel, and Soviet labor, in major
infrastructure projects in the United States.
The deal would impose no review of human rights and impose no
conditions for democratic reforms, supervised multi-party elections and such.
All that, and more, is already a done deal with China, like the USSR a
one-party Communist dictatorship that never produced a single product the
United States needs. This has come about, in large part, due to U.S. Senator
Dianne Feinstein, San Francisco Democrat.
On a visit to Shanghai in 2006 Feinstein told James Areddy of the Wall Street Journal, “I’ve been coming to China for 31 years, so I’m not a newcomer.”
That would put her first visit in 1975, one year before the death of the Great
Helmsman Mao Zedong his own self. Feinstein was then a San Francisco
supervisor, and as mayor struck up a sister-city relationship with Shanghai. On
the 2006 trip Feinstein spent time with former Shanghai mayor Zhu Rongji, “a
good friend.”
Areddy asked about the Tiananmen Square massacre then turning 21.
Feinstein said it was a “a great setback for China in the view of the world,” a
public-relations problem for China, not a human rights issue. “It was just the
PLA (People’s Liberation Army)” and China “learned lessons from it.” Still, Feinstein
admitted, “we did not discuss it.”
As Ben Weingarten noted in the Federalist in 2018, Sen.
Feinstein’s ties to China are “way deeper” than any Chinese spy in her office.
Feinstein maintained a “strictly apologist line” on China’s human rights
atrocities, and Feinstein’s husband has “profited handsomely” during her career
in the Senate. Sen. Feinstein “served as a key intermediary between China and
the U.S. government, while serving on committees whose work would be of keen
interest to the PRC.” For two decades and three election cycles, Feinstein
harbored a Chinese spy who fed “political intelligence” to Beijing’s Communist
regime. Since that article, the dossier has grown longer.
As Rosemarie Ho noted in The Nation, Dianne Feinstein failed to support the democracy protesters in
Hong Kong. When the coronavirus hit these shores, Feinstein was uncritical of
China and one of the first to cry “racism” against those who pointed out the pandemic’s origin in Wuhan,
China.
Ben Weingarten wondered how a motivated and empowered prosecutor
would operate if tasked to explore “any links and/or coordination” between the
Chinese government, Feinstein and individuals associated with her office. Such
an investigation never took place with Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the most servile
apologist of Communist China since Anna Louise Strong, and
certainly the most influential. On the other hand, Donald Trump was thoroughly
investigated for “collusion” with Russia, which turned out to be a hoax.
It was the president’s tweet that brought Feinstein’s Chinese spy
to public attention. President Trump has access to all U.S. intelligence, a
major reason domestic and foreign foes alike are desperately trying to remove
him from office. In his April 19 press conference, the president called the
upper reaches of the DOJ and FBI “human scum,” and their inattention to
Feinstein, Hillary Clinton and other high-profile Democrats confirms that the
rot continues.
President Trump is now throwing down with the invisible enemy of
coronavirus and making progress despite opposition from Democrats and their
media allies. As they parrot Chinese propaganda, the president has already
started the decoupling process.
“We cannot outsource our independence,” the president said last Monday. “We
cannot be reliant on foreign nations. I’ve been saying this for a long time. If
we’ve learned one thing it’s let's do it here, let’s build it here, let’s make
it here.”
As with the USSR, we don’t need China for anything. And as Chuck
Berry said, anything you want they got right here in the USA.
Joe Biden? Seriously?
The
establishment narrative on Joe Biden is, to put it mildly, malarkey. Gropey J
actually is everything the liberals accuse Donald Trump of being – bizarre,
vulgar, dumb, corrupt, incompetent, and utterly unfit to be president. But yet
the Creepy Veepy is so much more. In the last month, this totally not-senile,
not-at-all-weird guy has assembled a track record of freaky behavior that would
put mid-eighties Crispin
Glover to
shame.
Let’s
review…
Corn Pop
is old news. Biden’s latest rambling onion-on-the-belt monologue was something about
little kids at a pool rubbing his leg hair or something – it’s so random I’m
not even linking to it. There’s no best-case scenario here – he’s just creepy.
Then, for
no other reason than I guess he felt like a snack, he started gnawing on his
wife’s fingers in public and on camera. You know, like people do. You wonder
what the thought process there was…
“Hey,
sure are lots of cameras…gosh, I’m kind of hungry…oh look, an index finger.
Yum.”
I’m a
little surprised he didn’t pull out a packet of ketchup.
But the
best part was when some guy pointed out that, you know, Biden’s loser son Lil’
Crackpipe is the poster child for corruption and Sane Joe started spazzing out
and calling him “fat” and challenging him to a push-up contest for some reason.
This is
just odd. And this is the candidate who, amazingly, is still in the lead for
the Democrat nomination.
And then
there’s the groping females thing. He still does it occasionally, though the
media does its best to curtail coverage of his lecherous creeping. Do you
believe there’s any chance at all that he is not going to, at some point, have
some horrifying incident with some female at the White House, you know, like
grabbing the Queen for a hug n’ rub, or walking absent-mindedly into the press
room in a flapping robe with Little Joe and the gang in effect?
And let’s
be charitable. No one has ever called Joe Biden “smart.” Well, maybe as a joke.
The fact is that he’s a 40-watt guy in a 100-watt world. Haters say Trump is
dumb, but he is demonstrably not dumb. The thing about Trump is that because
our garbage elite hates him it tends to ascribe all possible negative characteristics
to him regardless of whether they apply. Trump is cunning, crafty and has a
keen sense of strategy. You may dislike him, but that does not change the fact
that alone, against the full force of the elite and its media serfs, he
prevailed and continues to prevail. If Trump, who managed to figure out that it
would be a good idea to campaign in Wisconsin, is dumb, what does that make
Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit and the sobbing losers who supported her?
No one
can seriously argue that Joe Biden is smart, and no one does. They’ll either
call you “racist” or start complaining about Trump. But you won’t get anyone
comparing the former veep to Stephen Hawking. They just sort of elide past his
staggering stupidity, perhaps hoping that whoever he picks for his veep will
give him a rubber ball to play with and lock him in an Oval Office closet when
it's time to do some presidenting.
He’s a
totally corrupt swamp thing, and here’s the worst part of his manifest
corruption – he doesn’t seem to realize that he’s corrupt, if not personally
than in terms of allowing his bum kid to leverage his position. He thinks it’s A-OK for his boy Hoover to cash in
all over the globe. After all, that’s what you do, right? That’s part of the
benefits package for being in the liberal elite. And all these people fussing
and fighting about the paternity test-failing dirtbag getting rich are totally
out of line. How dare they? HOW DARE THEY!
Understand
that Biden sees nothing wrong with this. Nothing. And that means there will be
exponentially more of it. Hell, the useless DoJ under Trump won’t prosecute
obvious graft. Do you think a DoJ that’s thrilled to have a fellow traveler
back in the White House is going to root out Biden's business badness? You do?
Well, then meet my unicorn Chet.
And
SloJoe is utterly incompetent. This is the guy who thought they should let bin
Laden skate. As Robert Gates, no Trumpie, said, "I think he has been
wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the
past four decades.”
This is
the guy who wants to take your doctor, again, and impose another brilliant
healthcare reform idea, again – all designed to unscrew the last big healthcare
reform the Democrats passed, which he praised as “a big [vulgarity] deal.”
He wants
to obey that tiresome Swedish teenager’s commands to sacrifice at the altar of
the weird weather cult. He wants to appoint all Hawaiian and Scat Franciscan
judges.
He
wants to raise taxes, open the borders, let you pay for illegal aliens’ sex
changes, and spark a civil war by taking guns from the people who don’t commit
crimes.
When you
think of a calm, steady, wise presence guiding the nation, you do not think of
Joe Biden, though that’s what is allegedly needed to end the nightmare of the
Trump presidency – you know, the record job numbers and the lack of stupid new
wars. You think of Obama and Stumbles McMyturn, only dumber and touchier.
Just
recently, Biden’s campaign ran an ad alleging that foreigners were “laughing”
at Donald Trump. Is there any Democrat anywhere who takes America’s side in a
dispute with malicious aliens? In any case, those tin pot euroweenies had
plenty to cry about – Donald Trump has forced them to pay up for NATO. Of
course, that will end too if Joe takes office. We’ll return to business as
usual – the business as usual of being shafted for the benefit of the global
bigshots.
Basically,
we’ll get rid of all the peace and prosperity that Trump has brought and get
back to normal – that is, people like us being plundered by the garbage elite.
Trump has
a track record of success, and Democrats hate him. Joe has a track record of failure,
corruption, and creepiness. Well, I guess we know why the Democrats seem to love him.
It’s out
now, my new novel Collapse, the action-packed yet hilarious
sequel to People's Republic, Indian Country and Wildfire. Friendless loser Never Trumpers
hate it, so you’ll love it.
***One last thing. On
Wednesdays, there's BONUS KURT if you're a Townhall VIP member. Sign up today. Three
Kurts is better than two.
And here's the biggest laugh of all: the Democrat party's
only hope is a confused old man whose corruption is oozing into
the
open only because the Democrats wagered everything on
impeaching President Trump.
What to do About China
Much
the same way that the Nazis invasion of Poland in the 20th century,
the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) assaulted the world with a biological agent.
Instead of Panzer divisions rolling down the streets of Warsaw, Communist
China’s invisible biological warfare has stricken the world with economic and
human misery, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians and forcing
millions into unemployment lines globally.
Expansionist
China is clearly a military, economic, and health threat to the world. But it’s
reckoning time for the Chinese communist dictatorship. Washington should exert
diplomatic, economic, and military pressure on Beijing that will put China’s
dictator Xi Jingping, and the evil and corrupt CCP under enormous strain.
Here
are four suggestions to counter China’s biological, military and economic threats:
Economic Distancing: Seize China’s U.S. Treasury Notes
For
America, the China virus attack was a 21st century medical
Pearl Harbor, inflicting tens of thousands of casualties and placing our
healthcare system under enormous strain. To counterattack China’s criminal
negligence and mishandling of the coronavirus epidemic, the U.S. needs to hit
our communist comrades where it hurts the most -- their pocketbooks.
China
owns approximately $1.07 trillion in U.S. Treasury bonds, according to the Treasury Department. The United States government should
seize the Chinese treasury obligations that Beijing holds in their name, and
inform the CCP that this is a down payment for the death of tens of thousands
of American citizens and the economic devastation Beijing has unleased on the
U.S. economy. And the U.S. should encourage Canada, the U.K., Japan,
Switzerland, and other allies to do the same.
Academic Distancing: Shutter China’s Confucius
Institutes in the U.S.
The
nefarious CCP pumps over $10 billion into its Confucius Institute propaganda
machine, funding over 500 Confucius Institutes on high schools, colleges, and
university campuses around the world. In the U.S., there are over 100 Confucius
Institutes on high school, college, and university campuses, receiving over
$150 million from the Chinese communist dictatorship, according to National Association of Scholars.
The
Chinese Ministry of Education, which is run by the CCP’s Central Propaganda Department, infiltrates high
schools, colleges, and universities, brainwashing American students into
accepting communist China propaganda, textbooks and operating funds to enhance
its own image abroad. Beijing-funded Confucius Institutes lack transparency,
threaten academic freedom and give the Chinese communist despots access to the
U.S. education system that China does not extend to American programs,
according to a 2019 report by the U.S. Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on
Investigations.
All
Confucius Institutes in the United States should be shut down, and all Chinese
“teachers” deported. America must end China’s unfettered access to our research
centers and universities. Also, the Confucius Institute U.S. Center, based in Washington, D.C., should be shuttered.
Seize and Sell all CCP Property in the U.S.
The
Chinese Communist Party is our enemy, so why don’t we treat them that way?
Let’s start by seizing all CCP property in the United States and selling it as
reparations for the damage they have caused to our economy. The U.S. federal
government should impound and sell all CCP property in the U.S., including
companies, real estate, bank accounts, aircraft, ocean-going vessels, and all
other CCP assets in the USA.
Bring Back “Made in the USA”
The
U.S. federal government should pay U.S. manufactures to leave China and return
to the USA. It’s time to bring U.S. manufacturing back home. Americans want to
buy high-quality “Made in the USA” products; not cheap Chinese junk that breaks
right away. To encourage U.S. manufactures to make products in the United
States, the U.S. federal government should offer companies a 100 percent
federal tax relief for 10-years if they open and produce products here in the
USA.
It
won’t be easy or painless, but America ought to fundamentally reconsider its
relationship with China. It is imperative that we have a “hard decoupling” of
the U.S.-China relationship, according to political scientist Andrew A. Michta,
writing in the American Interest. It’s time to reduce our
reliance on China as a manufacturing base.
Only
one adversary poses a truly mortal challenge to the United States; that
adversary is China.
Now
that the Chinese Communist Party has murdered tens of thousands of people
globally, the U.S. and its allies are being held hostage by the
criminals that run the CCP. China is repeatedly singled out for its unfair
trade practices, currency manipulation, support for rogue regimes like North
Korea and Iran, proliferation of nuclear arms, cyberattacks on free societies,
widespread human rights abuse at home, and undermining international
institutions. And now, you can add bioterrorism to the list.
It’s
time to cut our ties with Communist China. This is a very dangerous time for
the world. We should expect that the CCP will become more repressive
domestically, aggressive internationally, and confrontational in the wake of
the China virus.
And
one final thought: Let’s make the China plague the last Chinese import into the
U.S.A.

The Democratic
Party Is Wounded and Dangerous
Beware the wounded animal. In
pain and desperation, it will do violent things. It seems to me no
coincidence that Joe Biden's big win on Super Tuesday was followed by
Democratic senator Chuck Schumer threatening conservative members of the
Supreme Court on Wednesday.
Joe Biden is hardly Lancelot to President
Trump's dragon. The Democrats and the Deep State needed a
first-class warrior; instead, their best option is a walking advertisement for
Alzheimer's awareness. In
his best days, Joe Biden was the political equivalent of Jack McCall, shooting
his adversaries in the back. When he wasn't using his position of
power for financial gain or stealing other people's words, he was helping his
family line their own pockets. Today, he's a disoriented and
stumbling shell of an unimportant political hack who looks on in confusion
while his wife does his fighting for him. If you've ever wondered what
happens to the shriveled soul of a lifetime liar and Democratic swindler, just
cast your eyes upon Old Joe. He's a walking, talking effigy of
Democratic corruption and amorality. He's what the Democratic
Party usually keeps far off the main stage for the back-alley entertainment;
now he's the main event, but no amount of stick-prodding by Donna Brazile or
Tom Perez is going to turn Joe Biden into Fred Astaire. He's a
freak-show carnival attraction at best, amazing onlookers by his ability to occasionally
jumble audible words together into a sentence. The Democrats needed
a man who could command a movement; all they got was a man who can barely
control his own.
I'm not saying President Trump's
re-election is in the bag. Far from it. We've never seen
such an array of villains acting in concert to take down an American
president. The Democratic Party has most of the permanent
bureaucratic Deep State (as well as stealthy anti-Trump Republicans), Wall
Street, Russia, Iran, China, Venezuela, cosmopolitan Europe, global warming
doomsayers, the Middle East's worst terrorists, and domestic Antifa terrorists
here at home all actively working to dislodge President Trump from the White
House. In the past, the chiefs of our intelligence agencies and
clandestine services retired into relative obscurity, cognizant that duty
commanded their silent withdrawal into the pages of history. After
orchestrating a coup against the American president, however, it is not unusual
to see the former heads of Obama's CIA, FBI, and NSC all tirelessly justifying
their criminal acts on cable news each night. The corporate news
media and institutional government have spent years trying to gin up enough
hysteria in the nation that mock beheadings of the president and ritual re-enactments
of his assassination during summer theater might lead the American people to
clamor for the real thing.
So, no, the 2020 election will not be
over until all the votes have been counted on November 3, and it becomes clear
that we have successfully preserved Western civilization for at least a little
while longer from this most recent manifestation of Vienna's bloody 1683
siege. All I am saying is that Joe Biden was never meant to be the
establishment's champion for resurrecting their oligarchic power. They wanted a formidable presidential nominee,
someone who could check all the right identity politics boxes while stringing
words together that were substantively meaningless while singularly
inspiring. Instead, they're settling for a politician past his
expiration date who sounds less crème
de la crème and more soused in crème de menthe. The
Democratic Party may depend on dead voters to win elections, but running dead
candidates is another thing altogether.
So just because the cable news anchors
and Carville clones are all high-fiving each other and cheering for managing to
narrowly prevent a communist disciple of Stalin and Castro from sewing up the
Democratic nomination for president by the beginning of March, don't forget how
disappointed they are at heart. If Biden goes on to clinch the
nomination, the Democratic Party will have managed to take all the aloof,
plain, manila-folder blandness of John Kerry and combine it with the alertness
and energy of a nursing home after pill rounds. This is the one whom
the commentariat is celebrating right now, the guy Obama and the gang blocked
from running in 2016 because they felt him not quite up for the challenge when
he was four years younger. The vice president during the slowest economic recovery since the
Great Depression, the wordsmith who marveled at Obama for being strangely
"articulate" for a black guy, and the obtrusive shoulder-rubber whose
chief political instinct was to sniff the hair of the wives and daughters of
White House officials and visiting dignitaries. Imagine being in such dire straits
because the previous Democratic president so hollowed out the party's future by
losing over a thousand elected officials across the country during his time in
office that the last, great hope to beat President Trump this year is just
hoping to make it to bed each afternoon before saying something so
inappropriate or illogical or ridiculous that Red Bernie becomes the Democrat's
Dear Leader by default. For every minute of his few wakeful hours,
his handlers have to be on constant guard against the possibility that a voice
in Biden's head will scream, "Oh, look, a young child with
wonderful-smelling hair." "Comeback
Joe"? More like "Come back, Joe!"
The Democrats and the Deep State have
spent the last four years constructing the greatest wag-the-dog spectacle
America's ever seen in an attempt to cover up the malfeasance and criminality
of the last administration, while preventing the current one from achieving too
many victories. Considering that Brennan
and Comey are still free and Obama and Hillary are still smiling, they've been
remarkably successful. But
the Mueller obfuscation and Schiff circus are behind us, the dance music of
delay is dying down, and the Democrats' and Deep State's ability to keep
pushing back their day of reckoning is coming to an end. If they
don't win in 2020, they cannot keep justice at bay, regardless of how stacked
in their favor it has always been in the past. And standing in the
gap as their last-ditch prospect to save them from President Trump's
re-election and spare them from long delayed judgment is none other than Corn
Pop's archenemy. The one "reasonable" Democrat in the race
who has already burnished his "moderate" credentials by fully
embracing Bernie's Green New Deal, Warren's Medicare for All, and Beto's
door-to-door gun confiscation. Nothing says "electable centrist
Democrat" like "D'oh!" Biden's full tilt toward Marxist
socialism. No wonder Chuck Schumer sounds like some injured animal
in the forest, lashing out at tree branches all around him. That's
what small, weak, dying creatures do when they know the end is near.
Cruz: China ‘the Single-
Greatest Political Threat the
United States Faces over
the
Next Century’
2 May 2020111
1:30
Saturday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) outlined the threat communist
Asian superpower China poses to the United States, calling it the “single-great
political threat” to the country over the next 100 years.
“China is in my judgment the single-greatest political threat
the United States faces over the next century,” he said. “They engage in
espionage. They engage in censorship. They engage in torture and murder of
their own citizens. They cover up free speech.”
Cruz pointed to legislation that he
was introducing. One imposes sanctions on Chinese government officials for the
coronavirus “coverup,” as he deemed it. Another he was introducing took aim at Hollywood for
kowtowing to the Chinese government in movie scripts.
“The Script Act says we’re not going to allow the Pentagon to
cooperate with moviemakers, to let them use ships and jet airplanes and
equipment if they are going to allow the Chinese government to censor,” he
said. “And so it uses the power of government to stop Chinese censorship
through Hollywood.”
The Texas Republican U.S. Senator
pointed to the soon-to-be-released sequel to “Top Gun,” which stars Tom Cruise.
Reportedly, the Japanese and Taiwanese flags were removed from a jacket worn by Cruise’s “Maverick” in the sequel at
the behest of Chinese censors.
