Feinstein’s Close China
Ties Under Scrutiny After Chinese Spy Discovery ·
BY ZACHARY
STIEBER
·
·
News of a Chinese spy working for U.S. Senator Dianne
Feinstein broke recently, revealing the spy was employed by Feinstein for 20
years.
·
Initially reported
as part of a larger story about spies in Silicon Valley, a former intelligence
official later revealed that the staffer was Feinstein’s driver for many years.
·
The source
told the San Francisco Chronicle that the driver passed information to
Chinese officials based at the local Chinese Consulate . Part of the staffer’s role was acting as
a liaison between Feinstein’s San Francisco office and the local consulate.
·
The staffer was
recruited to spy after visiting China.
·
The staffer,
who has not been named, worked for Feinstein for 20 years.
·
·
“They
interviewed him, and Dianne forced him to retire, and that was the end of it,”
the source said. “None of her staff ever knew what was going on. They just kept
it quiet.”
·
Feinstein
wouldn’t comment on the spy but her office told CBS that none of the staffers in San
Francisco have ever had security clearances.
·
Noting the
oddness of the discovery, President Donald Trump said via Twitter on August 3: “Dianne is the person
leading our Nation on ‘Collusion’ with Russia (only done by Dems). Will she now
investigate herself?”

Feinstein’s Relationship With China ·
Some details of
Feinstein’s past are now being examined anew, centered on her close
relationship with China, beginning with her service as mayor of San Francisco
from 1978 to 1988.
·
Feinstein has
long been linked to China. For instance, she hosted former president of
China Jiang Zemin at her home for dinner when she was
mayor of San Francisco, and celebrated the resumption of air service from China to the United States (starting with
San Francisco International Airport) after a 32-year hiatus.
·
San
Francisco and Shanghai have been sister cities for 38 years, after the
agreement was put into place by Feinstein and Jiang, who was then Shanghai’s
mayor. Feinstein was cited as having a “ close relationship ” with Jiang and ties between the two continued for many years later.
·
Jiang is
infamous for cracking down on human rights , most notoriously by banning the peaceful
meditation practice of Falun Gong and throwing many of its estimated 100
million adherents into jail.
·

harvesting in China on Falun Gong practitioners, during a rally in Ottawa,
Canada, 2008. (The Epoch Times)
·
Under
Jiang, torture, rape, murder, and even organ harvesting from detained practitioners became
common.
·
To help
facilitate the relationship between the U.S. and China, Feinstein asked
organizers of the city’s popular Chinese New Year Parade to stop displaying the flag of the
Nationalist Chinese government, which ruled in exile in Taiwan after 1949.
·
Feinstein also
defended China, despite its communist policies, insisting that it was merely
“socialist.”
·
“There was
originally this kind of anti-communist view of China,” Feinstein told the Washington Pos t. “That’s changing. . . . China is a
socialist country but one that is increasingly becoming capitalistic.”
·
Husband Becomes Prominent Investor in China ·
Several
articles from the 90s explore the development of not only Feinstein’s
developing relationship with China while she was mayor, but her husband’s
burgeoning investments there.
·
According to
the Los Angeles Times , in 1997 Feinstein’s husband Richard Blum,
who invests his own and clients’ money into undervalued firms, expanded his
business investments into the communist nation to the point that “his firm is
now a prominent investor” there.
·
In 1992, the
investments amounted to one project worth less than $500,000. Two years later
he was planning to invest up to $150 million and two years after that a Blum
investment firm paid $23 million for a stake in a Chinese government-owned
steel company.
·
Another
investment by Blum’s firm was helped by the International Finance Corp., an arm
of the World Bank, which invested $10 million in the leading producers of
soybean milk and candy in China.
·
Utterly amazing to read this 1997 report on Sen
Feinstein’s family’s political and business ties to #China in context of revelations about a Chinese spy working for her as a
driver for 20 years, quietly let go seemingly rather than being brought to
justice https://t.co/efwT2yZgkg pic.twitter.com/twAI5igZ2I

·
“It seems to be
going quite well,” Rashad Kaldan—who in 1994 managed the IFC’s capital markets
investments in Asia—told the Times of the project. He added: “There also was
some comfort in that Mr. Blum had some contacts with the Chinese.”
·
Blum said that
his interest in China went back many years, predating political connections. He
won permission from the Chinese in 1981 to climb the east face of Mt. Everest
and called himself a close friend of the Dalai Lama , the exiled Tibetan leader who the Chinese
government opposes.
·
In dispatches
written for the San Francisco Examiner, according to the San Francisco Chronicle , Blum said that a goodwill visit to China
by Feinstein in 1979 helped him win permission to climb Everest.
·
“We had come to
build goodwill, promote trade and to make new friends,” Blum wrote in one
story, adding, “but I asked for and received permission to have another kind of
meeting—one with the Chinese Mountaineering Association.”
·
Trips to China ·
Feinstein
took three trips between 1995 and 1997 to China, in addition to trips earlier
in her mayoral service, to meet with top communist officials, including Jiang.
Blum often attended the meetings with her, an arrangement the Times described
as “unusual.”
·
At one time,
the couple had dinner at Zhongnanhai, the enclave reserved for the president
and other top officials in China.
·
“We had dinner
in Zhongnanhai in Mao Tse-tung’s old residence in the room where he died. We
were told that we were the first foreigners to see his bedroom and the swimming
pool. It was a very historic moment to see some of these things,” told the Los
Angeles Times. Mao was the communist leader of China whose policies led to
the deaths of tens of millions of Chinese people.
·
Feinstein
insisted that Blum had never spoken to officials during meetings about
business.
·
“I am open to
any suggestion as to how I can even make a firewall more fireproof,” she said.
“I don’t know what else I can do. . . . Either he retires or I suppose we end
our marriage.”

and Richard Blum arrive at the State Dinner for China’s President President Xi
and Madame Peng Liyuan at the White House for an official State Visit in

·
Experts
noted that even attending the meetings and being so visible conferred a certain
benefit to Blum, in addition to Feinstein’s pro-China record.
·
“There is no
doubt in my mind that, if Dianne Feinstein had a pattern of taking positions on
U.S.-China policy that Chinese officials disliked, Mr. Blum would have a great
deal more difficulty doing business in China and probably would find it
impossible to do,” said Ross Munro, co-author of “The Coming Conflict with
China.”
·
By 2000,
Blum pledged not to invest in China or Hong Kong as long as his
wife remained a senator.
·
The Los
Angeles Times noted that Feinstein has sometimes taken on issues that seemed to
coincide with those of her husband, such as calling in a speech on the Senate
floor in 1994 for President Bill Clinton to increase favorable trade relations
with China. At the same time, Blum was planning to invest up to $150 million
there.
·
Feinstein was
elected to the U.S. Senate in 1992.
·
China Attempts Illegal Contributions ·
A
widespread campaign of making potentially illegal donations stemmed from a 1996
vote on whether to bestow permanent most-favored-nation trading status on
China, an effort Feinstein led.
·
According
to Slate and the Washington Post , Feinstein was alerted in the early 90s by
the FBI that the Chinese government was working to illegally contribute money
to various campaigns, including hers. Though no donations could be definitively
linked to the government, Feinstein returned a $12,000 check to businessman and
Democratic National Committee Vice-chair John Huang.
·
“We have reason
to believe that the government of China may try to make contributions to
members of Congress through Asian donors,” a statement in the FBI briefing
materials to elected officials read.
·
A Justice
Department task force said Feinstein nor any other member of Congress knowingly
received illegal payments from the Chinese government.
·
However,
authorities said that the Democratic National Committee returned $3
million in campaign contributions because the money came from questionable or
improper sources. Officials believed the potentially illegal campaigns were an
attempt to influence votes on the trading status.
·
Feinstein has
received awards and recognition from some groups for promoting U.S.-China ties,
accepting the California-Asia Business Council’s New Silk Road award in
2005.
·
“The rise
of China is one of the most remarkable transformations the world has ever
seen,” she told the crowd .
·
“For many of us
who watch China, there is both a sense of awe at what China has accomplished,
as well as a sense that it could all unravel overnight.”
·
“Rather than
just pinning the blame on China, we need to better understand the costs that
lead to outsourcing abroad and take action to remediate them,” she added.
·
“I strongly
believe that the US-China relationship is and will be America’s most important
bilateral relationship. We must not let differences, economic or otherwise,
derail the progress that has already been achieved over the past three
decades.”

Feinstein Praises China,
Opposes Bill That Would Let Americans Sue CCP ·

A longtime senator spoke out against
legislation that would let American citizens sue the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP), claiming China ’s
regime is “growing into a respectable nation” and that the bill would open the
United States up for to lawsuits.
·
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who has close ties with China , made the comments during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that
included discussion of a bill introduced
by six Republican lawmakers.
·
The legislation would
provide Americans with the “legal tools necessary to sue the Chinese
government in federal court for creating and worsening the COVID-19 pandemic,”
Sen. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.), one of the sponsors, said in a statement.
·
Feinstein, the oldest member of the Senate,
told colleagues that Californians “hold China as a potential trading
partner, as a country that has pulled tens of millions of people out of poverty
in a short period of time, and as a country growing into a respectable nation
among other nations.”
·
“And I deeply believe that. I’ve been to
China a number of times. I’ve studied the issues,” she added.

·
Feinstein cited a professor who told the
committee behind closed doors that the United States has the most to lose by
permitting civil lawsuits against China.
·
“She explained that the more expansive the
exceptions, the more they could also apply to U.S. conduct, the worse off we
will be,” Feinstein said.
·
“In short, if we eliminate sovereign
immunity for countries engaging in reckless behavior that contributed to the
spread of COVID-19, and other countries, including China, may very well do the
same to us,” she added later.
·
A Feinstein spokesman didn’t respond to an
inquiry about what the senator is doing to respond to the CCP’s human
rights abuses, including holding over one million in concentration camps in
Xinjiang, or the party’s failure to contain the CCP virus .
·
Feinstein during the hearing said she
favors forming relationships “that can make the changes internationally.”

·
The committee later advanced the bill to
the full Senate. Republicans hold majorities on each committee because the
party holds the Senate with a 53-47 majority, including two Independents who
nearly always caucus with Democrats.

“China’s Communist Party must face
consequences for concealing and now profiting off of the COVID-19 pandemic,”
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), a member of the committee, said in a
statement.

Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs
Committee conclude
Democrat
Traitors Stand by China’s Spy Consulates
Democrat sanctuary cities don’t just provide sanctuary for illegal
aliens, but for enemy spies.
July 29, 2020
Daniel Greenfield
Daniel
Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an
investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic
terrorism.
On Tuesday,
Houston firefighters arrived at 3417 Montrose Boulevard. Neighbors had reported
smoke and a burning smell at the Chinese consulate. The consulate, which had
been given 72 hours to close by the State Department, did not let them in even
as the smoke continued to waft into the summer air.
Video showed
consulate employees throwing paper into burning bins.
“We have
directed the closure of PRC Consulate General Houston, in order to protect
American intellectual property and American’s private information," the
State Department had warned.
The Houston
consulate had become notorious for trying to intimidate American elected
officials in Texas and nearby states, as well as American energy companies,
especially those doing business in Asia. Some have also linked the
Houston consulate to Chinese espionage against American tech and medical firms.
FBI
investigations into the Houston consulate involved theft of medical
research, recruiting researchers to get at scientific secrets, and forcing
Chinese nationals to return to the People’s Republic of China.
Why would the
People’s Republic of China have thought that Houston would be a safe base for
spying on and intimidating Americans? Houston and Texas Democrats quickly
rushed to provide the answer.
Rep. Al Green,
who had hosted a luncheon at the spy consulate, accused President Trump of
racism.
“Don’t give
the impression, please Mr. President, that they are all spies,” Green whined. “My
appeal is to the president to understand that his words take on a meaning that
can be harmful to other people.”
Rep. Green
then went on to suggest that Trump had endangered his constituents by referring
to the pandemic as the 'China virus', and suggested that Trump's actions might
be leading to "more anti-Asian American violence, or worse, internment.”
While
shamelessly playing the race card, for a race he doesn’t belong to, the
Democrat did not discuss his own collaboration with the spy consulate.
Rep.
Green had co-hosted a
Houston press conference with Consul General Cai Wei of the spy consulate, whom
he described as a friend, with Chinese state media in attendance, at which the
Democrat urged local residents not to worry about the virus, and described
himself and Wei as a “committee of two”.
The Houston
Democrat boasted that the enemy consulate was close enough for him to walk to.
That's the
same Wei who had been accused of using fake
identification to get Chinese nationals through the airport, with whom Rep.
Green, an American official, had been meeting with on a regular basis.
Texas state
representative Gene Wu, who had also been at the press conference, warned that,
"in retaliation, China may basically stop all the investments and tell
companies to pull out of here."
Green and Wu were
far from the only Democrats playing defense for the Communist dictatorship.
Amid reports
that a fugitive spy wanted by the FBI is being harbored by the Chinese
consulate in San Francisco, the inescapable reality is that foreign spy
compounds operate in Democrat sanctuary cities.
Democrat
sanctuary cities don’t just provide sanctuary for illegal aliens, but for enemy
spies.
The Trump
administration had already ordered the shutdown of the Russian consulate in San
Francisco over its espionage. And the Chinese consulate appears as if it will
be next. But if the Chinese consulate in Houston was able to garner the support
of Democrats at the local and national level, the situation in San Francisco is
expected to be much worse because of Chi-Com infiltration of California
Democrats.
Chinese
intelligence officials at the San Francisco consulate had successfully
recruited a staffer at Senator Dianne Feinstein’s San Francisco office and the
situation at the local level is much worse.
And Democrats,
instead of supporting their country, are once again undermining it in favor of
China.
The same
Democrat officials who had castigated President Trump for not trusting the
“intelligence community” are the ones rejecting intelligence findings about
China’s spy networks.
Senator Angus
King suggested that the move was a political stunt by President Trump. "Is
it really about confronting China, or does it have something to do with an
election in four months?"
Former Senator
Max Baucus, Obama's ambassador to the Communist dictatorship, has falsely
claimed that the closure was "electioneering".
“This is the
wrong way to handle it," Baucus wheedled. "If Pompeo thinks he is
going to quote ‘change Chinese behavior,’ he is gravely mistaken.”
Baucus' China
rhetoric has, in recent months, tipped into blatant PRC propaganda, when he
compared Trump to Hitler for
opposing the brutal dictatorship in an interview with a Chinese propaganda
outlet. Baucus has a consulting firm that works with Chinese businesses,
and sits on the boards of several Chinese companies. The media outlets who have
had Baucus on have not disclosed his ties to China.
"There
are a lot of very responsible people in America who know this China-bashing is
irresponsible and we will pay a price if it continues. That is all I am
saying," he had warned.
The Democrat
has claimed that relations with China will improve if Biden wins the
presidency. That’s not surprising since Biden and Baucus are good friends , and Baucus got the
ambassadorship due to Biden.
Biden’s China
ties have made it impossible for Democrats to confront the Communist
dictatorship. Instead they’ve decided to accuse President Trump of closing the
consulate as an election stunt even though it’s only July and the closure it
hardly likely to have any meaningful impact on the election.
Instead of
standing with America, the Democrats are trying to shift the onus to President
Trump.
“The White
House must be transparent and show that it is taking smart and thoughtful
action, rather than engaging in brash foreign policy," Rep. Lizzie
Fletcher complained.
Meanwhile
local Democrats like Rep. Al Green, and local Houston media, are treating the consulate
closure as a hate crime perpetrated by President Trump in order to persecute
Asian-Americans.
Gordon Quan, a
former Houston City Councilman, contended that, "to have the consulate
close, to have accusations being made that this is the hotspot for spying, just
creates a further cast upon the loyalties of Chinese Americans.”
And the
Chinese Communist propagandists have adopted the familiar playbook of the Left,
complaining about racism, and whining that PRC embassies are facing bomb
threats and angry messages. This propaganda is coming from a brutal regime
which has engaged in genocide, ethnic cleansing, and the ruthless suppression
of political dissent, ethnic and religious minorities, and anyone who gets in
its way.
Chinese
Communist consulates in America, including in Houston, have been used to
intimidate Chinese residents in America, and to suppress political protests
against China in this country. The Communist regime’s diplomatic corps has
organized Chinese students to shout down, threaten, and even physically
intimidate political opponents on campuses and even off them in San Francisco.
And yet,
Democrats and the media insist on treating the Chinese Communist regime as the
victim.
The Democrats
are more loyal to their hatred for President Trump than they are to America.
And even in the face of blatant enemy action, they choose the People’s Republic
of China over the United States. A growing number of Democrats have also been
directly or indirectly compromised by the enemy regime.
And that makes
President Trump’s crackdown on spy consulates in Democrat cities all the more
urgent.
When the State
Department closed the spy consulate in Houston, Democrats had to choose between
standing with Communist China or standing with America. They chose China and
they chose treason.

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.
Feinstein said in a statement:
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)

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? Kurt
Schlichter

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.

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.
The Democratic
Party Is Wounded and Dangerous By J.B. Shurk
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. I n 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
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. T he 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’ 106
2 May 2020 111
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.
