Hunter Biden is currently under federal investigation by Joe Biden’s Justice Department for tax fraud, money laundering, and violation of lobbying laws, the New York Times reported. Hunter has reportedly been trying to settle the case out of court, paying $1 million to the IRS to evade conviction or a possibly long sentence.

Joe Biden collects $400,000 a year in salary as president. According to the New York Post, Biden and his family have collected $31 million from China. Jesus said we cannot serve two masters. If Biden has collected $31 million from China, that raises the question: what do the Chinese want in return? Does that $31 million make China his biggest concern? Could it be that his primary job is serving the interests of China, while his role as president is a moonlighting gig?

Schweizer: ‘It’s Going to Be Business as Usual’ for Hunter’s Dealings
Joe Biden, the corrupt, unaccomplished 47-year career politician, with a reputation of having been a proud segregationist, an unabashed plagiarist and liar, a resolute tale-teller, and a serial flip-flopper, is pretending to head up a radical social-democratic ticket for President of the United States that includes as his running mate the ambitious, disagreeable junior senator from California: Kamala Harris.
Tennessee Republican Set to Insert Anti-China Provisions Into Dem Spending Bill
Marsha Blackburn measures would stop China from purchasing American farmland, infiltrating U.S. universities
Adam Kredo • August 5, 2022 5:30 pmSen. Marsha Blackburn (R., Tenn.) is spearheading two legislative measures that would crack down on China's purchase of American farmland and make it more difficult for CCP forces to infiltrate American universities.
Blackburn is set to offer the anti-CCP measures as amendments to the hotly contested, Democrat-led health, tax, and climate bill, which the Senate is scheduled to debate this weekend, according to congressional sources familiar with the effort. Senate Democrats are expected to fast-track the $740 billion bill, dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act, over GOP senators' objections.
Blackburn's anti-CCP measures would block China from cashing in on any agricultural programs offered in the new legislative package. Chinese owners control more than 194,000 acres of U.S. farmland and forestry, estimated to be worth around $1.9 billion, according to background information on Blackburn's amendments reviewed by the Free Beacon.
The second amendment would increase congressional pressure on China's partnership with U.S. universities. While Confucius Institutes—the CCP-run satellite centers that made deep inroads in American academia before coming under federal scrutiny in recent years—are shutting down across the country, China is replacing them with alternate programs as part of a bid to maintain its presence in American higher education. Blackburn's measure would make it more difficult for these CCP institutions to develop ties with American universities.
While it will be difficult for these amendments to survive in the Democrat-led Senate, Blackburn says she is trying to ensure China does not benefit from taxpayer funds and send a clear message about the CCP's pernicious infiltration into America.
"Beijing is positioning itself to exploit the United States," Blackburn told the Free Beacon. "The Chinese Communist Party is attempting to take over the USA across all industries—pushing spies into U.S. universities and buying U.S. farmland. China is succeeding with weak leaders like Joe Biden in the White House. We must crack down on China and unravel our ties."
China's efforts to buy up U.S. farmland have mostly flown under the radar, and Blackburn's measure is likely to boost attention to the issue, particularly among her GOP colleagues.
"The purposes of this increased investment are both profits for Chinese investors and projection of Beijing's influence abroad, even through illicit means," according to the information provided by Blackburn's office. "National security implications of Chinese government-linked ownership of agricultural land are well-documented, including the potential for CCP espionage and interference with sensitive U.S. military systems."
Blackburn's amendment, one of the first to address this issue, "ensures that the Chinese Communist Party will not reap the benefits of any [Agriculture Department] farm programs covered under the massive legislative package.
Blackburn's second measure, which targets China's ties with U.S. universities, is also likely to garner widespread GOP support. While most of the 118 Confucius Institutes have shut down or are in the process of doing so after a federal crackdown, "the CCP continues to enjoy relationships with various American universities and it is estimated that more than 58 continue to keep relationships with their former Confucius Institute partners," according to a June 2022 report on the topic.
The Confucius Institutes have attempted to rebrand to maintain their foothold in the American academic world. Institutions, for instance, "have entered new sister university agreements with Chinese universities, established ‘new' centers closely modeled on defunct Confucius Institutes, and even continued to receive funding from the same Chinese government agencies that funded the Confucius Institutes," according to the information provided by Blackburn's office.
As with the former Confucius Institutes, "these relationships give the CCP the power to leverage funding to pressure universities, censor professors, silence statements, and cancel events focusing on Hong Kong or Taiwan," the senator's office notes in information about her amendments. "Moreover, Chinese teachers at these institutes sign contracts with the government of China and report back to China."
Cotton Warns China Buying Farmland in U.S. ‘Is a National Security Threat’
Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) sounded off on his legislation that would ban China and China-linked firms from buying land in the United States.
Cotton warned that China purchasing farmland in the United States was a “national security threat” that “surrenders the massive strategic advantage we have here in America.”
“China cannot feed its own people. The United States not only can feed our own people — we can feed much of the world. We should never surrender that massive strategic advantage,” Cotton outlined. “We should not allow Chinese nationals to buy up American farmland or to invest in American food and agricultural companies. We should protect those critical assets for our own country.”
“[I]n China, you don’t just get to leave the country or take your money out of the country without government permission and government oversight,” he added. “It’s not like America. You can’t just go buy a farm in Canada, you can’t get a timeshare in Mexico. The people that are coming out of China to buy farmland and food and agricultural companies are doing so because the Chinese communists want them to. This is a national security threat, and it surrenders the massive strategic advantage we have here in America that we are the world’s breadbasket while China can’t feed its own people without food imports.”

Ron DeSantis: Chinese Purchases of U.S. Real Estate Are a ‘Huge Problem’
China’s purchases of American homes and land are a “huge problem,” Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said in an interview.
Ron DeSantis made the remark after the news surfaced in a National Association of Realtors (NAR) report that China is the biggest investor in the United States real estate market, gobbling up $6.1 billion worth of homes and land last year.
“I don’t think they should be able to do it,” DeSantis said on a Fox News program.
“I think the problem is these companies have ties to the CCP, and it’s not always apparent on the face of whatever a company is doing — but I think it’s a huge problem,” DeSantis said.
NewsMax reported that the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2019 revealed that Chinese-linked entities owned at least 192,000 acres of American farmland worth more than $1.9 billion.
As Breitbart News reported:
The other top investors in U.S. real estate, in order from second, are Canada ($3.6 billion), India ($3.6 billion), Mexico ($2.9 billion), and Brazil ($1.6 billion).
Florida was the state that has the most real estate purchases, according to the NAR report, and [2021] represents the 14th consecutive year that foreign investors picked that state as a top choice.
Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Kevin Cramer (R-ND) earlier this month wrote a letter to the Biden administration asking for a review of a Chinese company’s purchase of North Dakota farmland located just 12 miles from Grand Forks Air Force Base, where drone technology is stored.

Chinese Biggest Investor in U.S. Real Estate Last Year – $6.1 Billion on Homes in Florida, California
The Chinese are snapping up real estate in the United States, including $6.1 billion in homes and land last year.
Those buyers include the Chinese Communist Party, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, the U.S. real estate market report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) showed.
The investors spent an average of $1 million per property transaction, with nearly 31 percent of the purchases involving property in California, according to the report.
The New York Post reported on the NAR report:
Earlier this week, senior economists warned that the US housing market could be on the verge of a “meltdown” following this week’s release of data showing a collapse in home builder confidence in July.
U.S. home builder confidence plummeted 12 points to 55 in July, according to the latest data from the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index released Monday.
“Due to rising interest rates, overall home sales will decline in the US this year,” said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun said in the Post report. “Foreign buyers, however, are likely to step up purchases, as those making all-cash offers will be immune from changes in interest rates.”
“In addition, international flights have increased in recent months with the lifting of pandemic-related travel restrictions,” Yun said.
Other top investors in U.S. real estate, in order from second, are Canada ($5.5 billion), India ($3.6 billion), Mexico ($2.9 billion), and Brazil ($1.6 billion).
Florida was the state that has the most real estate purchases, according to the NAR report, and represents the 14th consecutive year that foreign investors picked that state as a top pick.
Florida accounted for 24 percent of all international real estate purchases in the U.S., with California ranked second at 11 percent.

Glazov Gang: China’s Wicked Designs for U.S. Farmland
(CNSNews.com) - The United States ran a merchandise trade deficit of $200,096,600,000 with the People’s Republic of China in the first six months of this year, according to data released today by the Census Bureau.
That was the largest trade deficit that the United States ran with any country in the January-through-June period.
The second largest trade deficit the United States ran in the first half of this year was with Mexico. But that bilateral trade deficit was $63,444,700,000—less than one-third the size of the $200,096,600,000 trade deficit with China.
The third largest merchandise trade deficit the United States ran in the first half of this year was with Vietnam ($57,808,200,000); the fourth largest was with Canada ($46,166,400,000); and the fifth largest was with Japan ($33,673.600,000).
In the first six months of this year, the United States exported $71,645,700,000 in goods to China, but imported $271,742,300,000—resulting in the deficit of $200,096,600,000.
In the first six months of last year, the United States imported $228,465,500,000 in goods from China and exported $71,535,900,000—resulting in a deficit of $156,929,600,000.
The $271,742,300,000 in imports the United States purchased from China in the first six months of this year is up $43,276,800,000—or 18.9 percent—from the $228,465,500,000 in imports that the United States purchased from China last year.
The $200,096,600,000 trade deficit the United States ran with China in the first half of this year is up $43,167,000,000—or 27.5 percent—from the $156,929,600,000 deficit the United States ran with China in the first half of last year.

China Puts on Military Spectacle in Attempt to Scare Nancy Pelosi Away from Taiwan
The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) staged military exercises and published propaganda videos of various weapons, including an alleged “aircraft carrier killer,” on Sunday and Monday in anticipation of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) arriving in Asia and potentially visiting Taiwan.
Pelosi landed in Singapore on Monday and has since met with its president and prime minister, bringing along a congressional delegation. Pelosi’s office confirmed the delegation would also visit Malaysia, South Korea, and Japan. Rumors for weeks have indicated that Pelosi had long been considering a surprise stop in the sovereign, democratic nation of Taiwan – defying the Chinese Communist Party, which falsely claims Taiwan as a rogue “province” and dismisses its government as an illegitimate separatist entity.
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) confirmed to Breitbart News last week that Pelosi was planning to visit Taiwan and had invited him to join, though he was unable to due to scheduling reasons.
Various Communist Party spokesmen and propagandists have spent much of the past month threatening Pelosi in an attempt to prevent the visit, warning that Beijing would consider such a high-profile visit a violation of its “One China” policy – which insists that Taiwan (the Republic of China) is a province of the People’s Republic of China. Top Global Times commentator Hu Xijin suggested last week that Chinese forces should shoot Pelosi’s plane down if it appears to be traveling to Taiwan. Hu described a visit to Taiwan by Pelosi and the delegation, even if welcomed by the Taiwanese government, as an “invasion” of China.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian addressed the situation with threats once again on Monday, though he did not warn of any particular measure against the United States.
“If she dares to go, wait and see!” Zhao told a reporter ominously.
“The Chinese People’s Liberation Army will not sit back,” Zhao told reporters, according to Chinese state media. “China will take resolute and strong countermeasures to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
On Friday, during his last regular news briefing, Zhao similarly said China would respond to Pelosi flying to Taiwan with unspecified “resolute countermeasures.”
“The U.S. side must bear all consequences arising therefrom, Zhao said at a daily news briefing when answering a query on whether U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s potential visit to Taiwan would ruin the atmosphere for holding more high level dialogues between China and the United States,” according to the People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party.
The Global Times, China’s most belligerent English-language government propaganda outlet, published multiple posts on Sunday in preparation for the PLA’s anniversary describing displays of military power as attempted deterrents to keep Pelosi out of Taiwan.
“Shortly prior to Army Day, which falls on August 1, the PLA revealed new progress made in its advanced weaponry and equipment including its hypersonic missile, amphibious assault ship, aerial tanker and large destroyers,” the Times reported on Sunday, “all of which are described by military analysts as having important roles to play if a conflict breaks out in the Taiwan Straits.”
“With Pelosi’s potential visit to Taiwan, this year’s Army Day is a special one,” the outlet continued, “with concrete and realistic combat preparations being made against one of the most severe provocations against China’s sovereignty since the 1996 Taiwan Straits crisis, analysts say.”
The Times highlighted PLA propaganda shared on social media, including a video titled “preparing for war!” and multiple state media broadcasts of live-fire drills and the display of alleged anti-aircraft-carrier hypersonic technology.
Elsewhere in its pages on Sunday, the Global Times bizarrely speculated that Pelosi’s plane may have technical troubles and need an emergency landing crossing from one of the four scheduled stops on the trip. In that case, it insisted, the Chinese government should force Pelosi to land on Hainan, a Chinese tropical island near Taiwan, and avoid allowing Pelosi anywhere near the country of Taiwan.
“If Pelosi’s plane really has emergency problems during her trip around China, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) aircraft can provide protection to her plane and let her land at airports in China’s Sansha city, Hainan Province in the South China Sea, or other airports in the Chinese mainland [the legal territory of China],” the Times posited, “which could provide professional services and assistance, as long as the speaker’s plane stays away from China’s Taiwan.”
Reports out of Singapore indicated that Pelosi did not spend much of her time there discussing China or Taiwan. The U.S. Congressional delegation met with Singapore’s President Hamilah Yacob and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong during the first of her scheduled two days in the country. Yacob posted a photo with Pelosi on social media and said the two discussed climate change, women’s rights, and “ways to deepen education and people-to-people ties between our two countries.”
Singapore’s Foreign Affairs Ministry issued an update on the meeting with Lee, the prime minister, which did indicate that Lee addressed tensions between China and America.
“PM Lee highlighted the importance of stable US-China relations for regional peace and security,” the ministry reportedly said.
Pelosi has for decades been a vocal opponent of the Chinese Communist Party, once famously protesting against communism in Tiananmen Square, the site of one of the Party’s most prominent mass killings. In more recent years, however, Pelosi’s position on the Communist Party has been largely compromised by business dealings between Beijing and members of her family.
“Nancy Pelosi used to be pretty anti-Chinese Communist Party early in her career, and then her husband and son started seeking deals in Beijing,” Breitbart News senior contributor and blockbuster author Peter Schweizer explained in January, citing research from his book Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win. “And it’s interesting, you’ll remember the last time China held the Olympics in 2008, Nancy Pelosi was in favor of a boycott. And then, lo and behold, her husband was partner in a couple of limousine companies that got major contracts in China to ferry VIPs around the Olympics, and Nancy Pelosi suddenly went from boycotting the Olympics to saying that she was opposed to a boycott for the Olympics.”

What’s the deal with the China tariffs, Joe?
There’s still no word from the Biden administration regarding the China tariffs. Biden and his profoundly inept team of leftist ideologues have remained painfully silent. But I think we all know what’s bound to happen in the coming weeks: Biden will likely eliminate tariffs on an inconsequential portion of Chinese imports. This should placate both sides of the trade issue in his cabinet. The free-trade dogmatists will be happy that at least some of the tariffs were slashed, while the defenders of the Trump-era tariffs will take comfort in knowing that Biden didn’t pursue a blanket tariff reduction in the name of trade liberalization.
I would wager that no one in the President’s cabinet actually believes that rolling back the Trump tariffs would remedy inflation woes in any meaningful way. AEI trade policy specialist Derek Scissors said the following about the potential tariff cuts on Yahoo Finance last week: “Really, none of this matters very much to inflation. Current inflation is highway sign inflation: it’s gas, food, lodging. We don’t import any of that from China.” If Biden truly cared about inflation, he would urge Democrats in Congress to be more fiscally conservative. That, of course, is never going to happen. Instead, he will blame the Trump tariffs. Biden, as we all know, can do no wrong!
Former Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer -- who is well known for his criticisms of trade liberalization - recently wrote a very persuasive op-ed in the Wall Street Journal wherein he urged Biden’s team to keep the Trump tariffs: “Chinese imports in total make up only 2% of goods included in the consumer-price index and exclude key products like energy and food… While eliminating these tariffs will do almost nothing to ease inflation, it would be a substantial concession to Beijing.” As usual, Lighthizer is spot on.
The most concerning thing about Biden’s trade philosophy: he doesn’t have one. Biden is not a man with steadfast convictions; he is a master capitulator. Biden isn’t a free trader or a protectionist; he is a mushy vacillator. Such a convictionless and lackluster trade policy will ultimately contribute to the President’s abysmal approval ratings.

A Corrupt and Rigged Government
A recent University of Chicago Institute of Politics poll showed that a majority of Americans think our government is corrupt and rigged against them. And almost a third of respondents also feel it may eventually be necessary to take up arms against the evil empire currently running the show.
Subtract from that poll the bleeding-heart libs who think feelings matter more than facts, and the numbers are scarier still.
Big Government, including their toadies in the mainstream media, has clearly blown its cover. And it appears, based on this poll, that the American people are mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore.
Why have so many lost faith in our government to the point that armed rebellion is being considered?
Double standards, that’s why. Americans see them and they’re rightfully furious.
They see the despicable treatment afforded President Trump, whose term in office surely seems like the good old days when compared to the turmoil Democrats have unleashed in just a year and a half at the helm.
They watched the press question Trump’s mental fitness and acuity while staunchly supporting the corrupt, dried-up turnip currently occupying the Oval Office.
They observed the media constantly demonizing Trump’s family and then totally supporting “Dr.” Jill and the hapless, hopeless Biden spawn.
They’ve seen every aspect of the Donald’s financial dealings examined with a fine-tooth comb, while the Big Guy (Hunter’s nickname for Crusty Joe) gets half of his crack and sex-addled son’s ill-gotten millions with impunity.
They’ve watched the FBI run multiple coups against both candidate and President Trump, while sitting on the treasure trove of Biden family criminality contained in Hunter’s laptop, which the Feebs have been “investigating” for two and a half years now.
They’ve observed how law enforcement looked the other way as BLMers peacefully rioted, taking lives, ruining businesses, and causing billions of dollars in damage -- all this while authorities pretend that January 6 was another Pearl Harbor, instead of a relatively small dustup where the crowd was rife with Feds, officers obligingly opened the doors to the Capitol, and the only person killed was an unarmed woman, shot to death with impunity by a cop.
They see criminals, perverts and drug dealers released without bail to continue their wicked ways while the Jan. 6th defendants rot in D.C. jails, their Constitutional rights suspended and their personal lives ruined.
They’ve watched in stunned silence as Democrats and the Deep State pulled every dirty trick in the book on President Trump, while the Republican members of the D.C. Uni-Party sat silent or, as in the case of Cheney and Kinzinger, eagerly concurred.
They’ve listened as Hollywood, the media, and academia all denigrated Trump’s burning desire to make America great again, at the same time supporting the notion that our country is a racist, sexist, xenophobic hellhole, and always has been.
They’ve undoubtedly noticed that Democrats, with the help of Big Tech and many millions of Zucker-bucks, made it incredibly easy to cheat in the last election; yet Trump has been portrayed as a psychopathic monster for pointing out that he was clearly jobbed out of a second term.
They watched President Trump fight the COVID-19 pandemic with all his might, even as wee Dr. Fauci and Dr. Scarf purposely undermined his efforts with their lies, double-talk and obfuscation. While Trump fought the good fight, white-coated bureaucrats and their pals in Big Pharma got incredibly wealthy.
They watched Trump castigate China for loosing COVID-19 upon the world, causing millions of needless deaths, even as the NBA, Hollywood, influential leaders of both parties, and the Biden Crime Family all filled their pockets with yauns while defending the fine folks of the Chinese Communist Party.
They surely observed how President Trump’s policies lifted all financial boats, setting records for black and Hispanic employment, while the Swamp was busy calling Trump and his supporters irredeemable racists.
They couldn’t help but notice how Trump was deemed a scoundrel for pointing out that women generally allowed him easy sexual access because he was a wealthy celebrity. But those same folks upset with Trump’s statement of fact, were totally incurious about our current demented president’s fondness for touching, fondling, and smelling small children; nor did they show any interest in reports that Creepy Joe took showers with his young daughter, who then became a promiscuous young woman and an addict.
They surely took note of Trump’s incredible energy in his old age, how quick he was to travel the world, campaign for his undeserving party, and speak to reporters. It must have been shocking then to see Senile Joe garble his words, hide from the press, and spend long weekends out of sight and out of mind in Delaware, all this while falling up stairs and off his bicycle.
They also noted how firm President Trump was with other countries, telling Germany to pony up for NATO, forcing Mexico to stop enabling illegal immigration with financial penalties, and reducing IRGC general Qasem Suleimani to a grease stain on the desert floor for threatening U.S. soldiers and diplomats. Now, of course, they watch as Iran plays Biden’s diplomats for fools, Russia feels secure enough in Biden’s impotence to start a war, and the Saudis laugh in the doddering old fool’s face when Biden comes begging for more oil.
They could see that President Trump made the U.S. energy independent, creating jobs and prosperity for everyone; while the current administration has crushed the energy industry, making gas and oil unaffordable for the common man, even as the climate-change crusaders fly around in private jets, party maskless during a pandemic, and buy up oceanfront mansions.
They watched Donald Trump become the first president to stand up for the rights of unborn babies and choose like-minded justices for the Supreme Court; this followed by an administration vowing to use all means, legal and extralegal, to facilitate the dismemberment of unborn innocents, not to mention choosing a Supreme Court justice solely on the basis of her genitalia and skin color.
They observed Trump praising and building up our military might, even as turncoats like General Mark “White Rage” Milley and Col. Alexander Vindman, surely the softest Ranger ever, purposely undermined their commander-in-chief by providing comfort to the enemy and conspiring to impeach the president, respectively.
In summation, it’s clear to me and anyone with eyes to see why a majority of Americans thinks our government is rotten to the core, and why many think a second American Revolution may be necessary to restore integrity in government. What’s not clear is why anyone who’s lived through the obvious double standards I just enumerated, doesn’t feel that way.

Schweizer: ‘It’s Going to Be Business as Usual’ for Hunter’s Dealings
Joe Biden, the corrupt, unaccomplished 47-year career politician, with a reputation of having been a proud segregationist, an unabashed plagiarist and liar, a resolute tale-teller, and a serial flip-flopper, is pretending to head up a radical social-democratic ticket for President of the United States that includes as his running mate the ambitious, disagreeable junior senator from California: Kamala Harris.
Joe Biden didn’t do anything wrong? A time-honored method of taking bribes is having them paid to a family member, usually in exchange for nominal or nonexistent services. It is comical to watch “reporters” pretend not to understand this.

There’s also the little problem of Hillary’s incredible corruption (making her and Biden birds of a feather). And of course, the fact that Hillary’s unsecure server damaged national security in a way that would have seen an ordinary, politically unconnected person spend the rest of her life in prison—which, not coincidentally, is where Papa Joe belongs for using his debauched son Hunter as the bagman for decades of anti-American corruption
ANDREA WIDBURG
“Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton Foundation and the Obama book and television deals. Then there is the Biden family corruption, followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the Warren and Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government corruption. BRIAN C JOONDEPH
What’s really baffling is Hunter’s success with women. Despite being a total loser with a terrible drug habit and some weird sexual perversions, Hunter managed to seduce his brother’s widow, her sister, a stripper, and the woman he married, all over the course of four years. It’s enough to make one think that Hunter’s charm had less to do with the man himself and more with the benefits flowing from the Biden family cartel. ANDREA WIDBERG

Blue State Blues: The Political Corruption of the DOJ
The Department of Justice (DOJ) was reported this week to have begun a criminal investigation of former President Donald Trump in connection with his effort to contest the 2020 election.
Also this week, the DOJ was accused of having spiked its own investigation of President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, based on false clams that reports of his misconduct were just “disinformation.” And last week, the DOJ convinced a D.C. jury to convict Stephen K. Bannon, a Trump associate and former Breitbart News executive chairman, for contempt of Congress.
Notably, the DOJ declined to prosecute past left-wing offenders for the same crime — such as Lois Lerner, the former IRS official who targeted conservative groups; and former Attorney General Eric Holder, who refused to provide Congress with information about Operation Fast & Furious, a gunrunning fiasco that led to the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
And few at DOJ were punished for the “Russia collusion” hoax, a partisan operation that involved lying to the FISA court.
We are witnessing the transformation of the DOJ into an arm of the Democratic Party.
There have always been a few partisan prosecutors, but the political corruption began in earnest under President Barack Obama, who declined to prosecute members of the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation; gave millions of dollars to left-wing groups from DOJ fines; and imposed DOJ consent decrees on police in Democrat-run cities to appease Black Lives Matter.
In 2016, the DOJ attempted to influence the presidential election in several ways — first, by declining to prosecute former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in open-and-shut cases of mishandling classified information; second, by investigating Trump for “Russia collusion”; and third, by trying to sanitize the anticipated Hillary Clinton presidency by reopening the inquiry into her emails — a move that backfired spectacularly.
The “Russia collusion” probe continued into the Trump era, fueling efforts to undo the results of a democratic election, and arguably denting Trump’s ability to conduct foreign policy.
Throughout the left-wing riots that gripped the country in 2020, the DOJ was remarkably passive. Attorney General William Barr directed law enforcement on the streets of D.C. as Black Lives Matter and Antifa attacked the White House, but FBI Director Christopher Wray led efforts to deny that Antifa was a threat, insisting it was an “ideology,” not an organization.
The DOJ seemed to shrug at the riots that raged in 48 out of 50 major U.S. cities. And it dithered for years after Hunter Biden’s influence-peddling came to light. The FBI did nothing about his laptop, which it seemed to have seized in 2019 to cover up the story rather than to follow up on evidence of corruption at the highest level.
But after the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, the DOJ prosecuted participants aggressively even for minor offenses, and detained non-violent suspects for months.
Now comes the news that Trump is being investigated by the DOJ in connection with January 6 — reportedly for “seditious conspiracy and conspiracy to obstruct a government proceeding” and “potential fraud associated with the false-electors scheme” or efforts to pressure officials to claim the election was fraudulent.
The timing of the news gave undue legitimacy to the January 6 Committee, a one-sided, arguably unlawful and unconstitutional show trial with obvious political motivations.
The DOJ inquiry is supposedly independent of the January 6 Committee, but there have already been reports that the DOJ has asked the Committee to hand over transcripts of witness depositions — given behind closed doors, and with few of the basic protections they would ordinarily have in a criminal inquiry.
In effect, the DOJ appears to have deputized the committee to carry out its own law enforcement functions — a violation of the Constitution’s separation of powers and the Bill of Rights.
After months of investigation, and more than 1,000 witnesses, the committee turned up nothing on Trump except the claim that he should have done more, or acted sooner, to stop the riot.
Trump did what many of the Democrats on the committee had done themselves: oppose the certification of electors from states where the results were controversial. He also organized a protest to influence a Congressional vote — an activity guaranteed by the protections of the First Amendment.
Notably, the DOJ is declining to prosecute the left-wing protesters who have besieged the homes of conservative Supreme Court justices in an effort to pressure them on the abortion issue — despite a specific federal law barring such protests as an exception to the First Amendment because they represent a threat to impartial justice and an independent judiciary.
The DOJ’s indulgence was followed by an attempt on the life of Justice Brett Kavanaugh by a leftist who, luckily, called 911 on himself.
Both President Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland promised to “depoliticize” the DOJ, referring to the bogus claims by Democrats that Trump “politicized” it because Barr would not break federal law and hand over grand jury materials to Democrats desperate to smear Trump.
It was Trump, actually, who depoliticized the DOJ — or tried to, though he ran into the resistance of careerists and holdovers who were willing to break the law in their effort to undermine his presidency.
Garland told NBC News that the DOJ would not hesitate to prosecute Trump even if he were a candidate for president in 2024. That is the right policy — though the DOJ did not apply it to Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden. Worse, it followed Hillary Clinton’s lead in smearing and spying on her opponent, and covered up legitimate questions about Biden’s conflicts of interest. To this day, the perpetrators of the “Russia collusion” hoax remain unpunished for what was, in effect, a silent coup attempt.
Now the DOJ is apparently trying to find a way to put Trump behind bars, and satisfy the Democrats’ lust for revenge for 2016. This is what happens in Third World countries.
I witnessed it happening in my native South Africa, where the ruling clique began using petty investigations to discredit the opposition and internal rivals. Today, South Africa is on the verge of being a failed state.
The political corruption of the DOJ is likewise undermining faith in the rule of law; it must be stopped.

New Hunter Biden revelation undermines president's comments: Turley

Bidens of all sorts are under federal investigation for tax evasion, money-laundering, and unregistered agent foreign ties, as this Politico report citing Hunter notes.
Unlike Fredo, Hunter would be shielded from the consequences of his destructive acts. So would the Biden family. After the computer repairman turned over the abandoned hard drive to the FBI (and then to Rudy Giuliani, who passed it to the New York Post), the legacy press and social media companies mounted an all-out suppression campaign against the Post‘s reporting, ensuring that the story was snuffed out before the election.

Hunter Biden is currently under federal investigation by Joe Biden’s Justice Department for tax fraud, money laundering, and violation of lobbying laws, the New York Times reported.

Democrat House Intelligence Committee Member Warns: DNA Testing Can Be Used as Bioweapon to Target Americans
Bio-weapons are being developed that use specific DNA to target and kill individuals through their medical profile, a Democrat member of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee warned Friday.
Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO), a U.S. Army veteran, used the Aspen Security Forum to warn Americans to be more judicious about sharing their DNA with private companies due to the coming of new bioweapon types.
His call is a repeat of one made in 2019 when concerns about China acquiring the DNA of American service members prompted the Pentagon to issue an advisory to the entire force against using commercial popular DNA testing kits to trace one’s ancestry.
“You can actually take someone’s DNA, take, you know, their medical profile and you can target a biological weapon that will kill that person or take them off the battlefield or make them inoperable,” Crow, from Colorado, reportedly said.
The congressman said the development of sophisticated bioweapons is worrisome given the popularity of DNA testing services, where people willingly share their genetic mapping with businesses to gain insight on their genealogy and health, the Daily Mail reports.
“You can’t have a discussion about this without talking about privacy and the protection of commercial data because expectations of privacy have degraded over the last 20 years,” the Democratic lawmaker said.
“Young folks actually have very little expectation of privacy, that’s what the polling and the data show.”
Crow, a former Army Ranger who served three tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, continued: “People will very rapidly spit into a cup and send it to 23andMe and get really interesting data about their background.”
“And guess what? Their DNA is now owned by a private company. It can be sold off with very little intellectual property protection or privacy protection and we don’t have legal and regulatory regimes to deal with that.”
Crow went on to counsel that “an open and public discussion about… what the protection of healthcare information, DNA information, and your data look like because that data is actually going to be procured and collected by our adversaries for the development of these systems.”
DNA service provider 23andMe has repeatedly stated it does not sell off customers’ private information.
This is not the first time DNA testing has been called into question as a personal security risk.
Concerns about China acquiring the DNA of American service members prompted the Pentagon to issue an advisory in late 2019 to the entire force against using commercial popular DNA testing kits to find out one’s ancestry, Breitbart News reported.
“There is increased concern in the scientific community that outside parties are exploiting the use of genetic data for questionable purposes, including mass surveillance and the ability to track individuals without their authorization or awareness,” the Pentagon said in its December 20, 2019, advisory first reported by Yahoo News.
However, neither the memo or the Yahoo News report specifically mentioned China as the main concern.
But two congressional sources told Breitbart News the Pentagon’s warning was prompted by concern over China’s efforts to obtain DNA and other personal health information from companies popular in the U.S.

Tucker Carlson: This may have been the greatest crime in history
The fact that Hunter's market value was derived from his
father's position seemed to be a source of resentment for
the younger Biden, even as he continued to cash in on the
name. Hunter complained in texts to his daughter that he
had financially supported the Biden clan for three decades
and that "pop" takes a cut of "half [my] salary." Financial
records and correspondence reported on by Devine
indicate that money from Hunter's business accounts was
used to cover Joe's AT&T bill and home maintenance
expenses and that a portion of at least one major China
deal was earmarked for the elder Biden. Alana Goodman
A Chinese Intelligence Operation in America’s Great Plains?
The meaning of weiqi, the ancient Chinese game of strategy, is ‘encirclement game.’ But in weiqi it isn’t enough to surround enemy stones to capture ground. It’s vital to have some of your stones within enemy territory. When you then lay siege, swathes of the board fall with no fighting. China’s leaders, strategists, and generals swear by Sun Tzu and weiqi: they combine the lessons of the philosopher’s Art of War with principles of the game to win without fighting, deploying long-term plans and deception, skirmishing on many fronts, and creating outposts hidden in plain sight.
One such outpost, an agro-industrial plant of China’s Fufeng group, is in the development stages on American soil – in Grand Forks, North Dakota, to be precise. It’s 13 miles from the Grand Forks Air Force Base (GFAFB) and 85 miles from the Cavalier Space Force Station. This is the Great Plains region, so uninterrupted lines of sight make visual and electronic surveillance of the base and station uncomplicated. Given China’s ambition to dominate the world and its ingrained culture of war by deception, it would be naïve to think the plant won’t be used for espionage.
The patriots of Grand Forks, against tremendous resistance from the administration, are campaigning for a referendum against the plant. Some of them have faced intimidating visits from the FBI and police. Hopefully, the rest of America will wake up to their clarion call and thwart this Chinese intelligence bastion disguised as a corn mill. But the question is, how was the Fufeng plant able to avoid closer scrutiny? And why are the authorities bearing down on those opposing what should never have been allowed in the first place?
For decades, China has been growing its front of influence in the U.S., as in other countries, by working at the local level to evade federal concerns with national security and defense. It has found state- and city-level politicians and non-governmental agents vulnerable to inducement and the seduction of economic opportunities in their regions. It has furthered its goals, circumventing unfavorable federal legislation by subverting the subnational system with cultural, school-to-school, business-to-business, and local governmental exchange programs.
A telling demonstration of this was seen during Xi Jinping’s first visit to the U.S. as general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 2015. He made appearances at the Obama White House and the U.N., but his high-priority stop was at the China-U.S. Governors Forum in Seattle, where for two days he held focused meetings with state and local government office-holders and business leaders.
Chinese influence in North Dakota dates back more than a decade. In 2010, the state’s then lieutenant governor, Jack Dalrymple, who owned stock in one of the largest national oil companies in China, led a delegation to China to foster education and business deals, including plans for a Confucius Institute at Dickinson State University, ND. In 2012, the university was exposed as a diploma mill that handed out degrees to hundreds of foreign students, mainly from China. An audit uncovered visa violations, false enrollments, fake grades and financial wrongdoing. Security risks can well be imagined.
BEK TV, a news channel in Bismarck, has made a detailed investigation of this process of subnational subversion, tracing its history from the time President Nixon may have opened the door to the Chinese. Its special report, China Conquest, Inside Job, exposes the politics and other circumstances that led to the acquisition of 350 acres of prime farmland near key defense facilities for the Fufeng plant, presenting a microcosmic view of China’s delusive strategy in action. The channel supports citizens’ opposition to this insidious security threat.
The Fufeng Group – it’s nearly impossible to find its net worth online – is a major producer of xanthan gum, fertilizer, starch and sugar substitutes, with five plants in mainland China. Fufeng USA, its American subsidiary, is a global leader in bio-fermentation for animal feed. It has offices in Chicago, and is establishing headquarters in Grand Forks, allegedly for agribusiness.
In June, the Grand Forks City Council approved annexation of property far north of traditional corn country, and a distance from the city, for the $700-million Fufeng corn mill. A CCP-tied development project beyond the cornfields in close proximity to defense bases should have raised suspicion. But city leaders promoted the project as a source of millions in development money and hundreds of new jobs. The site is outside Grand Forks limits, so annexation was necessary for the city to legally provide infrastructure services.
Citizens feel betrayed about being kept in the dark. Their concerns about espionage and surveillance aren’t exaggerated. The GFAFB hosts the 319th Reconnaissance Wing, which operates RQ-4 Global Hawks (remotely piloted aircraft used for intelligence and surveillance) and supports air mobility, major weapons systems, conventional and nuclear plants, and a group equipped with Minuteman 3 ICBMs. The GFAFB also maintains a global communication network for the air force, so there is considerable potential for sabotage.
Republican Senator Kevin Cramer and Senate Intelligence Committee leaders Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Mark Warner (D-VA) have objected to the project. Top military brass warned the committee that the corn mill presented an excellent opportunity for the Chinese to perform intelligence, signals, and humint collection. In a press interview, Cramer said, “I think we grossly under-appreciate how effective they (China) are at collecting information, collecting data, using it in nefarious ways.” FBI director Christopher Wray, too, warns that Chinese companies are Trojan horses. BEK TV quoted him saying that Chinese companies must comply with CCP policy, and no one gets to a position of wealth and influence in China without bending to the CCP and having its representative(s) on their company board.
A May 26 report of the U.S. China Economic and Security Review Commission raised concerns about China’s investments in America’s Ag sector (over 200,000 acres). It quotes USAF Major Jeremy Fox: “Some of the most sensitive elements of Fufeng’s plan in Grand Forks exist within the digital uplinks and downlinks inherent with unmanned air systems and their interaction with space-based assets.” The report concluded that potential surveillance by the CCP-linked company could damage U.S. strategic advantages.
Citizens contend that defense authorities, the FBI, and base commanders were not contacted about the project and that local media enthusiastically supported Fufeng without revealing the risks. The local newspaper publisher, who played a pivotal role in bringing Fufeng to Grand Forks, sits on the board of the Grand Forks Regional Economic Development Corporation. In fact, the city reached an agreement with Fufeng without public consultation. So citizens drew up a petition demanding a referendum. They gathered close to 5,000 signatures, more than necessary to force a referendum, but the authorities rejected it, saying grassroots drives could not address “administrative matters.”
When Jodi Carlson posted on the Facebook page of the Concerned Citizens of Fufeng Project in Grand Forks that citizens needed to take their city back since the government wasn’t listening, and quoted from the Declaration of Independence for emphasis, she was visited by the FBI and the police, who said her posts were threatening. She noted that ironically, the police had been dismissive of her complaint about an online stalker, saying they wouldn’t intervene in “social media” matters, but were suddenly interested in a post related to her Fufeng activism.
Perhaps to stem the dissent, city leaders are considering a review of the project by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to evaluate the security implications of the Fufeng deal. It’s strange, though, that CFIUS, mandated to review real estate transactions within 100 miles of designated military installations, did not look at the deal beforehand.
But the patriotic voices from Grand Forks are being heard nationwide, so the Fufeng plant may be forced to go – or submit to stringent scrutiny for security risk. Only an alert – and patriotic – citizenry can save American freedom from the nefarious web of China’s weiqi strategy and its resident front, the American Leftists.
In 2020, President Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned the National Governors Association about the CCP, saying they should “know it’s working you, know it’s working the team around you.” He also warned of CCP’s influence-building at lower levels, and urged vigilance at the local level. If he had been heeded, Fufeng would never have gotten a foothold in North Dakota.

15 Mind-Blowing Facts Which Prove China Is Completely Crushing America
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ySw0aiyWt4
As the Chinese economy continues to expand at an exponential rate, the era of American economic dominance is rapidly ending. According to the IMF's measure of purchasing power, the eastern superpower is already the world's largest economy. China also accounts for more total global trade than the U.S. does, and is the world's largest manufacturer. Experts estimate that the Chinese economy will surpass the U.S. economy before the end of this decade, and it will become three times bigger by 2040. Meanwhile, America is now headed to another recession, our standards of living are steadily falling and our major cities are crumbling at an alarming pace. If we continue down this path, the future of the next generation of Americans will be extremely bleak. Unfortunately, things are changing at a pace that is much faster than most people ever thought possible. In one decade, the average household income in China has increased by over 400%. The Chinese economic boom has helped to raise living standards for the working class. From 2002 to 2012, China's average household income rose from $987 per year to $4,873, an increase of over 400%. By 2021, that figure was up to $10,200, more than double the 2012 average. Meanwhile, household income has flatlined in America, rising 41% from 2000 to 2020, according to Pew Research Data. Even though China has a much bigger population than the U.S., it has fewer poor people than America. Globally, the World Bank poverty line is an income of $1.90 per day. By 2019, only 0.7% of the Chinese population were at or below the poverty level, meaning that about 9.9 million people lived in poverty out of a population of 1.35 billion. In comparison, in the U.S., 12.3% of the population falls below the national poverty line. That means over 39.7 million Americans are living in poverty. In the last 15 years, America has lost more than a quarter of its high-tech manufacturing jobs to China as U.S.-based multinational companies placed a growing percentage of their research-and-development operations in the Eastern nation. Over that span alone, the number of high-tech manufacturing jobs in the United States has declined by 687,000, or 28 percent. Meanwhile, U.S. economic growth will slump this year and it will be even slower in 2023, according to a new study from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The OECD estimates that U.S. GDP growth will slow to 2.5 percent in 2022 and fall to just 1.2 percent in 2023. By contrast, the OECD report said China's GDP will grow 4.4 percent this year and 4.9 percent in 2023. Everywhere you look, China is gaining dominance and America is in decline. The United States is going to have to put itself together if it wants to have any hope of competing with the Chinese in the future. At this point, we can only hope that our leaders start coming up with some solutions soon because we are running out of time. That's why today, we compiled some eye-popping stats that show just how rapidly the Chinese economy is overcoming ours.

Rubio: China Is ‘Waiting’ on Biden to ‘Beg Them’ to Refine More Oil
On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said that because of its large refining capacity, China is waiting for President Joe Biden “to go to them and beg them to process more and refine more oil so we can have more gasoline.”
Rubio said, “Saudi Arabia does not have unlimited production capacity. I think they’re producing about 10.5 million barrels a day. They could probably, according to most analysts, maybe get to 11 million. That doesn’t solve our problem. America alone could produce for itself, 1-1.5 million barrels a day more. But [it’s] not just the oil part. You don’t put oil in your car, you put gasoline. That has to be refined. Those refineries have been closed in America because you have an administration that says, we don’t want any more fossil fuels. Who’s going to invest more money in an industry that the president and his party is trying to put out of business? You know who has the most unused refining capacity in the world today? The most untapped refining capacity? China, while we were shutting down our refineries, they were expanding theirs. They’re sitting in the catbird seat, rubbing their hands, waiting for Biden to go to them and beg them to process more and refine more oil so we can have more gasoline.”

Hunter Biden Still Owns Stake in Chinese Oil Company, Chinese Records Show
Skaneateles, a company Hunter Biden founded with a ten percent stake in BHR Partners, still holds a ten percent interest in the company despite claims to the contrary, according to Chinese business records.
Hunter Biden “no longer holds any interest, directly or indirectly in either BHR or Skaneateles,” Hunter’s lawyer Chris Clark claimed in November to the New York Times.
But Chinese business records contradict Clark’s claim. “Chinese site Qixin says the latest filing comes from BHR itself and that it was filed last month,” the Washington Examiner reported. “The 2021 annual report by BHR has an ‘announcement date’ of June 20. Skaneateles is still listed as a ‘shareholder’ with a 10% stake.”
China’s business registry may not have been changed to reflect Hunter’s vacated interest. But with Hunter’s global profile as the United States president’s son, the omission seems unlikely.
It should be noted that Hunter’s representative has also refused to say who bought the stake in the company and for what price.
Hunter’s possible part ownership of BHR Partners is relevant because BHR Partners is the same company linked to Chinese oil interests to which the Biden administration reportedly sold 950,000 barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve earlier this month.
Hunter Biden and BHR Partners also had “significant” deals, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, regarding Chinese battery manufacturer CATL, according to data from Hunter’s laptop.
Before July, Hunter was not the only Biden with a connection to BHR Partners. In 2017, Joe Biden wrote a college recommendation letter for a child of Hunter’s Chinese business partner, Jonathan Li, with whom Joe Biden met in China. Li is CEO of BHR. Joe Biden and Li first reportedly met in 2013 when Hunter Biden flew to China with his father aboard Air Force Two.
Joe Biden and his staff have claimed at least seven times that the president has had no part in the family business. Yet, Joe Biden has been involved in the family business at least 13 times over nine years.

Josh Hawley Seeks to Ban Federal Contracts for China-Linked Consulting Firms
A plan by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) would prohibit the United States federal government from awarding contracts to China-linked consulting firms.
The legislation, called the Time to Choose Act, would prohibit the Department of Defense and other federal agencies from dishing out contracts to U.S. consulting firms that contract with the Chinese government, Chinese Communist Party, or subsidiaries.
“The fact that these consultants are awarded huge contracts by our Defense Department and other federal agencies, while they are simultaneously working to advance China’s efforts to coerce the United States is appalling and completely unacceptable,” Hawley said.
“It is well past time that we hold these companies accountable and prohibit this kind of conflict of interest in government contracting,” he continued.
In addition, Hawley’s legislation would impose penalties on consulting firms that attempt to hide or misrepresent their affiliations with the Chinese government. They would also be banned from receiving future contracts.
Likewise, the legislation would terminate existing federal contracts with firms working for China and require those firms to pay fines in the sum of three times what the U.S. government spent on their contract.
Most recently, McKinsey & Company was found to be working for China-owned corporations while also holding federal contracts with the United States government. Since 2008, the firm has received nearly $900 million in taxpayer money via contracts.

Corrupti-looza: Biden family wastes no time profiting from public office
In one-party states such as the old PRI-ruled Mexico, the stealing tended to start late. Before a Mexican president was escorted out for the next, he and his would sweep the presidential palace for everything not nailed down -- the lightbulbs, the toilet seats, the doorknobs and more. There were exceptions, but it was generally the known narrative. In more than one Latin American country, the last-minute asset grab on the way out actually had a name -- "La Pinata." After all, as former PRI mayor of Mexico City, Carlos Hank Gonzalez, used to say: "A politician who's poor is a poor politician."
Which brings us to Joe Biden, and his family's unusually fast scramble to profit from his public office right out the gate.
Son Hunter still has his 10% China equity fund stake, contrary to what had been reported, and a new art gig just perfect for bringing in money from non-transparent sources, as the New York Post, in this excellent report notes, all because his blow-pipe 'art' done as his personal art therapy is somehow so very valuable.
Brother Frank, meanwhile, is advertising his connections to old Joe for Florida law firm he's connected with, using Joe's name in a bid to drum up business. As New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin reported:
The latest sordid example involves one of Joe’s younger brothers, Frank Biden, appearing in a Florida law firm’s ad — on Inauguration Day no less. The ad used the president’s name to draw attention to the Berman Law Group’s class-action suit against sugar cane growers.
“The two Biden brothers have long held a commitment to pushing environmental issues to the forefront,” says the ad. “The president-elect has vowed to rejoin the Paris Agreement and wants to set ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets.”
The ad, first reported by CNBC, appeared in the Daily Business Review and carried a picture of Frank Biden and quotes him saying, “My brother is a model for how to go about doing this work.”
How touching. And shameless.
Brother James hasn't changed any, still under federal investigation for a hospital company that feds say isn't being run properly.
Bidens of all sorts are under federal investigation for tax evasion, money-laundering, and unregistered agent foreign ties, as this Politico report citing Hunter notes.
And it seems to be having a knock-on effect as Vice President Kamala Harris's stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff, an art student (which generally isn't the most employable of professions), has suddenly gotten a fancy modeling contract, to be a 'style icon,' which hadn't been her forte until the establishment noticed she was close to power. Now they're gushing about her, selling her as stylish as emperor's new clothes. Kamala Harris, meanwhile, might just owe someone a favor.
It's happening, Goodwin observes, because the Bidens have been doing it for decades, and never with any consequences. Now that Joe's 'the big guy' and not a mere vice president, for them it's all the better.
Which is true enough as far as it goes, but still doesn't entirely explain the speed of the influence-peddling and pocket-lining -- why, contrary to the Mexican and Latin American model -- did the rush to grab money start on day one?
With these questionable acts starting early -- despite Joe's call to brother Frank to 'watch yourself,' what seems a distinct possibility is that the family members think the gig is not going to last so the time to act is now.
Maybe they're betting Joe isn't going to last for one reason or another. That might explain why they are rushing to scarf up all they can without covering their tracks. They're like fund managers divesting a stock --- quickly, and all at once. Fund managers buy stocks quietly and gradually on expectations the price will go up, but when they think it's heading down, they don't play around, they dump it all at once and don't care who's watching.
That kind of desperation seems to be evident in House Biden's quick bid to cash in all at once, too. Do they know something we don't? Do they expect their window of opportunity will be short? How is it they can jump up so fast to cash in, even against warnings from Joe, who after all, assured the voters last fall with this malarkey:
“My son, my family will not be involved in any business, any enterprise that is in conflict with or appears to be in conflict, with inappropriate distance from the presidency and government,” he said.
Even with the spotlight on, for them, it's as if the walls are closing in and Gotterdammerung is beckoning. If that's not a vote of low confidence in the durability of Joe and his presidency, what really is?

Exclusive — Donald Trump on Joe Biden Selling U.S. Oil Reserves to Chinese Company Linked to Son Hunter: ‘Terrible’
LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Former President Donald Trump ripped current President Joe Biden for selling nearly a million barrels of oil from the United States Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese company linked to his son Hunter Biden, calling the move “terrible” in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News here on Friday night.
The revelation that Biden sold oil from the official United States reserves to foreign countries, “one of which is China,” as Trump noted in the interview, rocked the news last week, leading several Republicans to demand an investigation into what happened. Trump had rebuilt the supply in the United States reserves for the first time in decades, and then Biden, during a shortage of oil where the price is at or near record highs, turned around and sold it foreign countries, something Trump called “incredible.”
“I think the whole thing is incredible,” Trump told Breitbart News. “I built up the reserves—75 million barrels of oil. We filled it up. It’s the first time in decades that that was loaded up to the top. We did it when oil was very cheap. I said this would be the time. I said ‘tell me about the reserves,’ and they told me and in about two seconds we made a big order for very little money. Now it’s being given away to China and other countries. I think it’s terrible.”
Asked if it is a scandal worthy of investigation, Trump said he consider it “certainly strange” that Biden would give American oil from the nation’s reserves to China.
“I don’t know. It’s certainly strange to be giving to, of all countries, China,” Trump said. “Now, they’re getting a lot of oil from Iran and other places. They should have no shortage. When I was president, I didn’t allow China to buy from Iran and Iran was willing to make a deal. They would have had a deal within one week after the election—within a week I would have had a deal with Iran. It’s so sad what’s happened to our country in so many different ways.”
While as of yet it is unclear if Biden or his family members, such as his son Hunter Biden, personally profited from this sale, Trump said that if that happened it would be “inconceivable,” but that the mere fact that Biden even sold U.S. oil to a Chinese company to begin with is bad enough. Trump also said Biden policies are likely to cause the price of gas to continue to increase beyond the record highs hit this summer, predicting “much higher” gas prices soon.
“It would be inconceivable that that could happen but so is even the thought of China getting millions of barrels of oil from us and we’re the ones with the shortage,” Trump said. “They don’t have a shortage, because they’re buying so much from Iran and other countries. They’re buying from Russia, by the way, and Russia is doing better than ever. They’re making a fortune over and above the cost of the war and the war is what drove the price up in terms of the barrels. Nobody can believe this would happen. If you look at everything since the election, the Russia-Ukraine war would have never happened, inflation would have never happened. We had the cost per gallon down to $1.87. Now it’s way over $5. I think it’s going to go much higher, too.”
This interview with Trump comes in the wake of Biden selling 950,000 barrels of oil, per a Department of Energy announcement earlier this year, to Unipec—the trading arm of the Chinese Communist Party-controlled Sinopec. In 2015, a private equity firm that Hunter Biden founded bought a $1.7 billion stake in Sinopec Marketing.
The ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), told Breitbart News last week that the matter is now being formally investigated. Should the GOP retake the House majority as expected in November’s midterm elections, this investigation will likely intensify, but Comer is already calling for testimony and document production from key Biden Administration officials on this deal.
“From day one, the Biden Administration has waged a war against America’s energy producers. It started with the cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline and has continued with their push to implement radical Green New Deal policies. Their recent decision to remove oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve didn’t just fail to lower high gas prices, it has now left Americans vulnerable to unstable oil markets created by this administration,” Comer told Breitbart News.
“The Department of Energy is operating behind closed doors and has left Americans in the dark. Under no circumstances should President Biden be providing our oil reserves to hostile foreign adversaries or Chinese firms linked to Hunter Biden,” Comer continued. “It’s critical for Energy Secretary Granholm to stop dodging our Congressional inquiries and testify before the Oversight Committee.”
Commerce Sec’y Raimondo: Can’t Guarantee Biden Will Get Reciprocity if We Lift Tariffs on China, Main Reason Is ‘Fighting Inflation’
During an interview with Bloomberg on Monday, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo stated that there is no guarantee President Joe Biden will get something in return from China if the U.S. relaxes tariffs on China, and the main reason for him considering lifting tariffs is to combat inflation.
Co-host David Westin asked, “In terms of specific tariffs being taken off or not, is it possible it could be bilateral? Is it possible China could actually give something to the United States to try to reformulate our trade relations?”
Raimondo responded, “Certainly, that is possible and you raise an excellent point, which is part of the discussion, one of the things the president is thinking about, which is to say if we’re going to do this, what can they do on their side of the equation. So, while I can’t say for sure. Certainly, that is possible. And by the way, if it doesn’t happen immediately, it’s something that we will continue to pursue, just in the interest of…fairness. If we’re lifting tariffs, what are they going to do? Having said all of that, I think the president — the reason he’s looking at this is because fighting inflation is his number one priority. It’s the number one thing on the minds of Americans. American families are struggling in the grocery store, at the pump. And so, the president is saying to his team, I want to know everything possible that I could do to provide relief. And so, that’s why he’s considering this and that’s why he’s looking at it.”

China: Security Personnel Assault Protesters at Bank
Several people said they were injured on Sunday by security personnel in China’s Zhengzhou city while protesting a local bank’s recent decision to freeze millions of dollars of deposits, Reuters reported.
Roughly 1,000 people gathered outside the Zhengzhou branch of China’s central bank on July 10 to demand the bank unfreeze the deposits.
Eyewitness photos and videos circulated on social media showing “depositors waving banners and throwing plastic bottles at approaching security guards who then roughly dragged some of the protesters away,” Reuters relayed.
Video obtained by Reuters and published separately on July 10 showed demonstrators at the bank rally holding posters that read, “No deposit, no human rights” and “Against the corruption and violence of the Henan provincial government.” Zhengzhou is the capital of China’s east-central province of Henan.
Detailing the video’s contents, Reuters wrote:
Scuffles broke out, and a loudspeaker was used to warn people to leave the area.
“Your actions have been deemed as illegal. Leave in 10 minutes. If you do not heed instructions from staff on site, if you do not leave and if you continue to disrupt society, the police will take stern action,” the warning blasted from the speaker said.
Security personnel ran towards them as a man’s voice was heard chanting: “Thugs! Thugs! Thugs!”
“I feel so aggrieved I can’t even explain it to you,” a 40-year-old protester surnamed Zhang told the news agency.
Zhang recounted suffering “injuries to his foot and thumb” and being “taken away by four unidentified security personnel” around midday on July 10 after he demonstrated outside of the bank.
“Security personnel outnumbered protesters by around three to one,” he revealed.
“They [security personnel] did not say they would beat us if we refused to leave. They just used the loudspeaker to say that we were breaking the law by petitioning. That’s ridiculous. It’s the banks that are breaking the law,” Zhang stated.
The man said he had participated in Sunday’s rally as part of his ongoing effort to retrieve roughly 170,000 yuan ($25,000 USD) that he deposited with Zhecheng Huanghuai Community Bank, which was one of the banks affected by the deposit freezes.
Authorities in charge of the banks froze millions of dollars worth of deposits in April. The officials explained the action to customers by saying they were “upgrading their internal systems” but refused to issue further information or updates. The affected deposits remain frozen three months later.
Chinese government authorities are reportedly investigating the relevant banks for “illegal fundraising,” according to a July 8 report by China’s state-run Global Times. The newspaper described the businesses as “small rural banks, registered in Henan Province” and identified them as including Yuzhou Xinminsheng Village Bank and the Shangcai Huimin Country Bank.
“More than 1,000 depositors from across the country had planned to gather in Zhengzhou last month to try to withdraw their money but they were unable to when their COVID-19 [Chinese coronavirus] health codes, which determine if one can travel, switched to a ‘no travel’ status,” Reuters recalled on July 10.
“Five officials were subsequently punished for misusing the health code system,” according to the news agency.

How Biden Helped a Chinese Gas Giant Boost the Communist Nation’s Oil Reserves
As Biden depletes US oil reserve, China amasses huge stockpile
Collin Anderson • July 12, 2022 5:00 amPresident Joe Biden's decision to deplete America's oil reserves is helping a top adversary—China, which has built up its own stockpile while taking advantage of Biden's firesale.
Biden's Department of Energy in April sold roughly one million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to Unipec, the trading arm of the China Petrochemical Corporation, which is wholly owned by the Chinese government. That decision came just two months after Unipec launched an "unusual buying spree" aimed at boosting China's own oil reserves.
The communist nation's strategy was clearly successful—from mid-March to mid-May, China increased its oil reserves from 869 million barrels to 926 million barrels, according to Bloomberg. America's oil reserves, meanwhile, are in freefall under Biden. The Democrat inherited 638 million barrels of reserve oil; that number is set to drop to 384.6 million barrels, the lowest level since 1984.
China's newfound oil reserve advantage poses a serious national security threat, Republican lawmakers told the Washington Free Beacon. As war rages on in Ukraine, China has strengthened its energy relationship with Russia—in May, for example, Beijing entered discussions with Moscow to buy discounted Russian oil to further fill its reserves. For Rep. Mike Waltz (R., Fla.), that development stresses the need to ramp up U.S. energy production "rather than begging foreign governments for more supply."
"At a time when millions of Americans are suffering financially at the gas pump, Joe Biden is helping replenish our biggest adversary's energy reserves with our own damn oil," Waltz said. "It's astonishing how clueless this administration is when it comes to trusting bad actors like China to help alleviate our economy. If we want to compete with China, we need to begin expanding production here at home by expanding federal drilling leases and building more pipelines."
Sen. Dan Sullivan (R., Alaska) echoed Waltz's remarks, calling the fall of American energy independence under Biden "national security suicide."
"Make no mistake: The biggest fans of Biden's radical energy policies are Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin," Sullivan told the Free Beacon. "We are in a new era of authoritarian aggression led by the dictators in Russia and China. The Biden administration needs to wake up to the fact that this new era—and our need for oil and gas—will be with us for decades to come."
Neither the White House nor the Department of Energy returned requests for comment.
It's unclear if the reserve oil Biden sold to Unipec went directly to China's own reserves, but the sale helped China grow its stockpile regardless, Power the Future founder and executive director Daniel Turner argued. Even if Unipec released the oil it purchased from the Biden administration into the global market, Turner said, the sale gave the state-controlled company additional supply that would allow China to place oil from other sources into its reserves.
"The energy market's uncertainty is a good reason for any country to stockpile oil in their strategic reserves, yet America is seemingly depleting its oil reserves to help China fill theirs," Turner told the Free Beacon. "China couldn't create a more favorable economic and national security approach to strategic oil reserves if they had created it themselves."
The Biden administration claimed its sale of 950,000 Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to Unipec would "address the pain Americans are feeling at the pump" and combat "Putin's price hike." In the months following the sale, however, the national average for a gallon of gas surpassed $5 for the first time ever. Unipec also ramped up its shipments of Russian oil in May, giving Putin a much-needed income source as Russia's economy slumps in the face of Western sanctions.
While the Biden administration has blamed sky-high gas prices on Russia's war, prices at the pump were increasing long before Putin invaded Ukraine. Biden railed against the oil and gas industry on the campaign trail in 2020, pledging to "end fossil fuel." He went on to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline and halt new gas leases on federal land during his first month in office. Those decisions have not been well received—nearly 75 percent of Americans are not satisfied with the federal government's national energy policy, the hig

Wray Defends Ending China Initiative: We Won’t Engage in and Haven’t Engaged in Profiling, We’ll Follow Law
During a portion of an interview with Fox News Correspondent David Spunt aired on Friday’s edition of the Fox News Channel’s “America Reports,” FBI Director Christopher Wray defended the ending of the Department of Justice’s China Initiative by stating that the facts and law will be followed and “We are not going to engage in profiling by ethnicity or national origin, and we haven’t.”
Wray stated, “We’re going to follow the facts and the law wherever they lead. We are not going to engage in profiling by ethnicity or national origin, and we haven’t. And we’re going to work jointly with universities. In many cases, that’s one of the most effective ways to prevent stealing of research, which is in the hands of our universities.”
During a speech on the China Initiative coming to an end in February 2022, Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen said, “We have heard concerns from the civil rights community that the ‘China Initiative’ fueled a narrative of intolerance and bias. To many, that narrative suggests that the Justice Department treats people from China or of Chinese descent differently. The rise in anti-Asian hate crime and hate incidents only heightens these concerns.”

FBN’s Bartiromo: Biden’s Promoting Electric Cars Produced in China While He Sells SPR Oil to China
During an interview with Rep. James Comer (R-KY) aired on Friday’s edition of the Fox Business Network’s “Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street,” host Maria Bartiromo said that the Biden administration, in addition to allowing the sale of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China, has pushed electric cars, a good whose top producer is based in China, while also eliminating the Department of Justice’s China Initiative and floating lifting tariffs on China.
Bartiromo stated, [relevant remarks begin around 2:20] “I know growing up in America is going to be much different than growing up in an environment where Communist China is the number one superpower. And here we have Joe Biden selling — sending our oil from the strategic reserves partly to China. You have them pushing electric vehicles, but never mentioning Tesla, even though it’s — was the number one electric producer. Now, the number one producer is actually Hong Kong-based. And of course, now we have these threats and the Biden administration wants to remove tariffs just a few months after they eliminated the China Initiative.

Exclusive — Gov. Kristi Noem Warns Biden Letting China Buy Chemical, Fertilizer, Food Processing Companies and Land in U.S.
Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD), author of Not My First Rodeo: Lessons from the Heartland, warned of China’s procurement of U.S.-based food production assets on Friday’s edition of the Breitbart News Daily podcast with host Alex Marlow.
Noem described foreign acquisitions of U.S. food production infrastructure and arable land as a threat to national security.
“I have been talking about food security as a national security issue for about 15 years, now, being involved in farming and ranching,” she remarked. “I was very young when I started working on federal policy, because the United States has always embraced a policy where we believed it was important to grow our own food in this country, and I’m a strong believer that when another country controls our food supply, that’s when they truly control us.”
She continued, “If we think a pandemic was scary, wait until we realize that we can’t put food on the grocery store shelves because China controls the entire system, and what most of America hasn’t been paying attention to, is that China — for years — has been buying up our chemical companies, our fertilizer companies, our processing systems, and now they’re buying land, and we have foreign countries that are heavily invested in that entire supply system.”
“We are losing control of the ability to feed our people,” she warned, “and that’s what is challenging us today. We finally are waking up to that, but it is going to be a serious situation that this administration needs to recognize they have a huge role in, and all they’ve done is strengthen our enemies and given them more ability to control our food supply which makes us in a very precarious situation as a country.”
Noem described big city life as a possible frustrater of human social instincts and needs. Small towns, she said, tend to afford a level of familiarity and depth of social interaction that she assessed as lacking in big cities.
“[I benefit from] an incredible perspective that so many people in this country don’t get to have,” Noem said of her life in South Dakota, “and they don’t realize how much they need it — that interaction and sense of community, and people who wave when they drive by on the road and stop and smile and ask how your day is going — is what keeps us human.”
She went on, “It feeds our souls and it helps our mental health, as well. I think so many people are constantly challenged with the busyness, the noise, and the lack of personal interaction that happens many times in big cities. [It] really does affect them long-term, and it would be good for everybody to get out and be in the country, and be in being smaller towns where people can relax and just understand that we’re all a part of humanity, and we were all created to love each other.”
Noem also warned of fatherlessness as a widespread problem across America.
“We have a fatherlessness issue [in America],” she stated. “Kids need parents in their life. They need a role model. Even for young men, it’s extremely important that they have a male role model — a father figure — in their life that can exemplify some of the traits that are needed to bring leadership to a family, but even for young women, it’s true.”
She reflected, “[My father] taught me things by doing them and giving me impossible things to do. … I think that all teaches you how to deal with other areas of life and other people, and that’s something that we’re missing in this country, right now.”
Fatherlessness contributes to excessive consumption of video games and television among children, Noem argued.
She advised, “We need our children to have people that are investing in them and are spending a lot less time watching TV and playing video games and doing entertainment than they are really spending facetime with their kids and teaching life lessons to them.”
“Our job is to prepare them for life,” Noem concluded. “When we look at our children, many times we see parents trying to do everything for their kids, and that’s crippling them. Our real job as parents is to prepare them for life, and I think the best gift my dad gave me was hard things to do, and I had to figure them out.”

Schweizer: ‘It’s Going to Be Business as Usual’ for Hunter’s Dealings
Joe Biden, the corrupt, unaccomplished 47-year career politician, with a reputation of having been a proud segregationist, an unabashed plagiarist and liar, a resolute tale-teller, and a serial flip-flopper, is pretending to head up a radical social-democratic ticket for President of the United States that includes as his running mate the ambitious, disagreeable junior senator from California: Kamala Harris.
“Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton Foundation and the Obama book and television deals. Then there is the Biden family corruption, followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the Warren and Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government corruption.

· 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.
·
Senator Feinstein was alerted to the spy about five years ago. The FBI alerted Feinstein after investigating and finding the staffer shared nothing of substance.
· “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.
Mike Johnson: Biden’s ‘Creating a New Danger’ by Using Petroleum Reserve as ‘Personal Energy Slush Fund’
On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) reacted to reports that some of the oil released from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve was exported to other countries, including China, by stating that the reserve is for emergencies, “not the personal energy slush fund of the president.” And now Biden has “drained it three times to try to get himself out of the crisis that his own policies have created. Now, that’s creating a new danger for us.”
Johnson stated, “No one can explain it. That headline is just — should make every American irate. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve, of course, is there to protect our country in the event of an unforeseeable event, like a terrorist attack, natural disaster, etc. It is not the personal energy slush fund of the president. And yet he’s done it now — he’s used it three times, drained it three times to try to get himself out of the crisis that his own policies have created. Now, that’s creating a new danger for us. Because now the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is drained. … So, he’s adding more peril to the American people and more pain at the pump. It’s ridiculous.”

Report: Joe Biden Sold Nearly One Million Barrels from U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to CCP-Owned Oil Company Linked to Hunter Biden Firm
President Joe Biden’s administration sold 950,000 barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese state-owned gas company that has financial ties to a private equity firm cofounded by Hunter Biden, according to a Washington Free Beacon report.
In April, Biden’s Department of Energy announced the nearly one million barrel sale to Unipec, which is the trading arm of Sinopec. Sinopec is wholly owned and operated by the Chinese Communist Party.
Unipec reportedly purchases oil across the globe and then apparently sells it through its Sinopec Marketing subsidiary.
According to Unipec’s LinkedIn page:
UNIPEC America, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of China International United Petroleum and Chemical Co. Ltd., better known as UNIPEC. UNIPEC is the trading arm of SINOPEC, currently No.2 largest company on the Global Fortune 500 list in 2019.
Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, reportedly has financial ties to the CCP-owned Sinopec. A private equity firm Hunter Biden cofounded reportedly purchased a nearly $2 billion stake in Sinopec Marketing in 2015.
As the Free Beacon reported:
Biden is connected to Sinopec through BHR Partners, a private equity firm he cofounded in 2013. BHR bought a $1.7 billion stake in Sinopec Marketing in 2015. Biden at one point owned a 10 percent stake in BHR Partners through his wholly owned firm, Skaneateles, LLC.
It is unclear whether the younger Biden still has a financial stake in BHR Partners. Biden’s White House has repeatedly claimed throughout 2019 and 2020 that Hunter Biden was out of the equity firm, but Chinese corporate records show he still has a stake in the company.
Biden’s White House has dodged questions about Hunter Biden’s stake in BHR, directing the press to Hunter Biden’s representatives for more information.
“On the first, the president’s son is not an employee of the federal government, so I’d point you to his representatives,” former White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in December. “I think I answered your question. You can go to the representative of the person who is not an employee of the federal government.”
Biden’s administration said the sale would “address the pain Americans are feeling at the pump” and fight back against “Putin’s price hike,” as the administration calls it.
However, Unipec has continued to fuel the Russian economy by purchasing oil from the country, despite promises that it would purchase “no more Russian oil going forward.”
As recent as May, Unipec “significantly increased the number of hired tankers to ship a key crude from eastern Russia,” according to Bloomberg.
Daniel Turner, founder of Power the Future, blasted Biden’s move and told the Washington Free Beacon that it highlights the Biden family’s “relationship with China.”
“We were assured Biden was releasing this oil to America so it could be refined for gasoline to drive down prices at the pump. So right off the bat, they’re just lying to the American people,” Turner said. “What they’re saying they did and what they did are not remotely related.”
GOP Rep. Fallon on China SPR Sale: Congress Should Have Say on SPR Releases, ‘We Want to Get to the Bottom of’ Hunter’s Deals
On Thursday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “John Bachman Now,” Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX) reacted to the reported sale of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China by stating that the use of the SPR should require authorization from Congress so presidents can’t use it for political reasons, and arguing that the move is also “why we want to get to the bottom of” Hunter Biden’s foreign business deals.
Fallon stated, “Well, Joe Biden has proven that he puts America last and — unlike President Trump with his policies of putting America first. Our office, we filed H.R. 7996, John, to protect the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. And — it’s meant for a national emergency or if you have a natural disaster. So, our bill, if it was passed into law, would require an act of Congress to tap into it. It shouldn’t be used by fiat or by decree for political expediency.”
Host John Bachman then asked, “Do you think this has anything at all to do with Hunter Biden’s foreign business deals with China?”
Fallon responded, “Well, I hope not. Because that’s high crimes and misdemeanors, and that’s treason. And that’s why we want to get to the bottom of this.”

Ratcliffe: Biden Gets Advice from Former and Current Employees of ‘Collaborative’ with China BlackRock
On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” John Ratcliffe, who served as Director of National Intelligence under former President Donald Trump, argued that the Biden administration is “one of the worst offenders” when it comes to ignoring warnings from FBI Director Christopher Wray about the threat of China and part of this is due to Biden getting advice from people who worked for BlackRock, an investment firm that he says “has been more collaborative and complicit with the Chinese Communist Party, soft on China than anyone.” And that unless the Biden administration approaches China with the right mindset, “China’s going to continue to be aggressive and to bully and to be more forthright and move, not just in the Indo-Pacific, but around the world.”
Ratcliffe stated, “It’s like when you look out the passenger side window of your car, you see the words, ‘Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.’ And in this case, that’s China, and that’s what — the warning that Director Wray gave yesterday and that he’s been giving for years and that many of us have been giving. … China does intend to own the control points in the global marketplace and in geopolitics. They intend to dominate economically, technologically, militarily, and they are willing to spy and steal and lie and cheat their way to superiority. And the message yesterday was to businesses and universities that they need to get that. But one of the worst offenders, I think, as you pointed out, Bill, is the Biden administration. They are just — they’re not getting the message and they’re taking down many of the guardrails that were put up in place in the Trump administration to counter China’s aggression.”
He added, “[Y]ou have to look at who’s making the policy there. So, President Biden’s top economic adviser is Brian Deese. His top foreign policy adviser announced last week on China is Tom Donilon. Those are both BlackRock executives. BlackRock as an investment firm has been more collaborative and complicit with the Chinese Communist Party, soft on China than anyone. Those are the people that are making policy decisions…ending the DOJ China Initiative, and in response to China’s aggression just two weeks ago saying, Bill, that if we interfere with Taiwan, they will put us on a path to death and smash us to smithereens, the response from the Biden administration was, we need to consider easing tariffs. So, we’re sending the wrong message. The Biden administration from the beginning has gone back to this misconception that China is a strategic competitor. They are not. They are a lying, cheating, stealing competitor. They are a strategic adversary that intends to dominate us. And again, until that mindset takes hold in this administration, China’s going to continue to be aggressive and to bully and to be more forthright and move, not just in the Indo-Pacific, but around the world.”

During an interview aired on Thursday’s edition of Bloomberg TV’s “Surveillance,” White House National Economic Council Director Brian Deese responded to a question on how the administration can maintain that high gas prices are part of defending the post-World War II “liberal world order” while also weighing removing tariffs on the authoritarian Chinese Communist Party that the Biden administration has accused of committing genocide by saying that we have “to be smarter” about how we are “tougher and clearer” on China’s human rights abuses and non-market practices and President Donald Trump’s China trade policy didn’t really help the economy.
Deese began by explaining his comments on the liberal world order by stating, “That’s a concept that Republicans and Democrats have embraced for years and it’s about democracy. It’s about the democracy and the democratic tradition that grew out of World War II and that has served our national security interests and economic interests well. And standing up for democracy is something that this president feels strongly about. And so, we are going to fight to bring prices down. We’re going to fight to get increased oil supply on the market. But what we’re not going to do is to suggest that the only way to do that is to actually step away from the Ukrainian people, to step away from fighting for democracy and everything that that [unintelligible].”
Co-host Jonathan Ferro then asked, “If standing up for democracy is truly paramount, and you’ve quite clearly just suggested it is, why is this administration considering removing tariffs on a Chinese Communist Party which is anything but a democracy, and is also a government that you’ve accused of genocide? Why is that a consideration? And how does that reconcile with this view that this is about standing up for democracy?”
Deese responded, “Our economic policy should be about promoting economic security for American workers, American businesses, and American families. And so, we have to look at everything through that lens. In the prior administration, they took an approach to escalating trade tensions and a trade war with China that ultimately didn’t serve that purpose. It didn’t help our farmers and our ranchers. It didn’t help many sectors of the economy. So, President Biden came into office committed to the proposition that we need to get tough on China. There are places where we need to be tougher and clearer about their non-market practices, about their human rights abuses. But we also need to be smarter about how to do this as well.”
Ferro then asked, “Why is that smarter? … You’ve accused the Chinese Communist Party of genocide. You’re saying that what is paramount here is defending democracy and that defending the liberal world order is more important than the pain that people feel at the pump. And ultimately, this administration’s considering removing tariffs. I wasn’t convinced by the last answer. I don’t think many others will [be] either. This is an awkward moment, I know. But I really need to understand from you why it makes sense for this administration to consider removing tariffs on a country that you’re accusing of genocide.”
Deese answered, “First of all, I want to — you mischaracterized my position so I want to clarify. Bringing prices down for the American people is the president’s top priority. He’s focused on it every day, and it’s because he understands the pain that people are feeling at the gas pump and around the kitchen table. At the same time, he does not believe that the way to do that would be to step back from our democratic values or to step back from protecting the Ukrainians against the invasion from Vladimir Putin. He does not believe that that is an acceptable or an appropriate choice. So, given that, our focus is on how can we actually advance the ball. And you’re seeing the president in action right now, doing that. The actions that he’s taken around oil supply. The actions that he has taken around refineries. The actions that he is calling for around tax reductions, they all would make a difference.”

FBI: China Looking to ‘Insulate’ Economy From Sanctions That Would Follow Invasion of Taiwan
(CNSNews.com) – The Chinese government is “drawing all sorts of lessons” from the sanctions imposed on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, and looking for ways to “insulate their economy” should Beijing face similar measures over any move on Taiwan, FBI Director Christopher Wray said on Wednesday.
“We’ve seen China looking for ways to insulate their economy against potential sanctions, trying to cushion themselves from harm if they do anything to draw the ire of the international community,” he said in a speech to business leaders in London.
“In our world, we call that kind of behavior a clue.”
If China did try to forcibly take over Taiwan, Wray said, “it would represent one of the most horrific business disruptions the world has ever seen.”
Wray noted that a recent Yale study assessed that Western businesses had lost $59 billion in Russia because of the conflict in Ukraine, and added that those losses are growing by the day.
“And if China does invade Taiwan, we could see the same thing again, at a much larger scale,” he said.
“Just as in Russia, Western investments built over years could become hostages, capital stranded, supply chains and relationships disrupted. Companies are caught between sanctions and Chinese law forbidding compliance with them.”
Wray’s remarks on Taiwan came in a broader speech on Chinese government spying on a massive scale, targeting Western businesses, technologies, and intellectual property.
He was joined by Ken McCallum, the director-general of Britain’s domestic intelligence agency, MI5. McCallum said the two agencies had worked closely since both were established more than a century ago, but this was the first time their leaders had ever shared a public platform.
“We’re doing so to send the clearest signal we can on a massive shared challenge – China,” the MI5 chief said.
Wray said that while both the FBI and MI5 were “laser-focused” on the threat posed by Russia, “I want to talk today about another complex, enduring, and pervasive danger to the kinds of innovative businesses we have here in the audience: We consistently see that it’s the Chinese government that poses the biggest long-term threat to our economic and national security.”
“And by ‘our,’ I mean both of our nations, along with our allies in Europe and elsewhere.”
Wray warned the business leaders in the audience that Beijing “is set on stealing your technology – whatever it is that makes your industry tick – and using it to undercut your business and dominate your market.”
“And they’re set on using every tool at their disposal to do it,” he said, citing Chinese government intelligence operations to steal trade secrets, a massively resourced hacking program, and schemes to create business partnerships that “position their proxies to steal valuable technology.”
After the speech, Wray told reporters that he has had no reason to think that China’s “interest in Taiwan has abated in any fashion.”
But he expressed the hope that Beijing would learn lessons about what happens “when you overplay your hand,” which is what he indicated Russia had done in the case of Ukraine – “driving like-minded countries together, in a way that is pretty historic.”
Beijing views Taiwan not as a sovereign country but as a rebellious province whose return to the “one China” is inevitable, and has not ruled out the use of force if necessary to achieve that end.
The carefully-calibrated U.S. policy is that the status quo should not be altered by force, while U.S. law requires the federal government to provide Taiwan with the military means to defend itself against unprovoked aggression.
‘Develop the capability to attack Taiwan’
Tensions in the Taiwan Strait have risen to a higher degree than usual since last fall, with China significantly stepping up sorties of warplanes, including fighter jets and strategic bombers, in the skies near the island.
Rhetoric has also become more heated. President Biden raised eyebrows when, during a visit to the region in May, he replied “yes” when asked if he was willing “to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan” if China invaded. (The White House said afterwards Biden was not outlining a change in policy regarding Taiwan.)
Last month China’s defense minister warned – at an international security conference attended by Defense Secretary Gen. Lloyd Austin – that China “will fight to the very end” any attempt to “split Taiwan from China.”
Earlier this week, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said the U.S. was watching the situation “very closely,” but that there were no indications or warnings that a Chinese attack on Taiwan was imminent.
“In terms of capability I think China clearly is developing a capability,” Milley told the BBC.
“President Xi [Jinping] has mentioned that in public forums, he’s mentioned it in speeches, that he has challenged the PLA [People's Liberation Army] to develop the capability to attack Taiwan at some point in time,” he said.
“And whether they would or not, though, is a political choice, a policy choice. And that will be based off of how the Chinese view the cost-risk benefit at the time.”
Secretary of State Antony Blinken will meet his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on the sidelines of a G20 ministerial in Bali this week.
Asked Wednesday if Taiwan will be discussed in the Blinken-Wang meeting, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian did not answer directly, but said that the Taiwan question “has always been the most important and sensitive issue in China-U.S. relations.
He demanded that the U.S. abide by its previous commitments regarding Taiwan, “stop encouraging and supporting Taiwan independence, and take concrete actions to safeguard the political foundation of China-U.S. relations.”

Trump: Joe Biden Cutting U.S. Tariffs ‘Would Be Greatest Gift’ to China
Former President Trump says the potential for President Joe Biden to cut United States tariffs on China “would be the greatest gift that China could ever receive.”
For months, as Breitbart News has reported, Biden, along with his top globalists, has suggested that they may soon cut billions of dollars worth of U.S. tariffs on China-made products that were first imposed by Trump.
Most recently, reports have circulated that Biden is considering eliminating U.S. tariffs on $10 billion worth of China-made products like bicycles. This would come even as economists have admitted that cutting U.S. tariffs will have little-to-no impact on inflation.
In a statement on Tuesday, Trump blasted a potential move as a “terrible mistake” that would reward multinational corporations for outsourcing American manufacturing to China:
Believe it or not, it is looking more and more like the United States is getting ready to remove the tariffs on China. This would be a terrible mistake. These tariffs have brought many billions of dollars to our country, and made affected businesses, such as steel, viable again in the United States.
Doing this would be the greatest gift that China could ever receive. Our farmers alone got $28 billion as a gift from me, that came directly out of the tariffs because of the way they were abused by China. Taking these Tariffs off would be a clear signal that the United States is weak, ineffective, and doing business as usual.
Trump also called out Senate Republicans and Democrats who have lobbied Biden for months to cut U.S. tariffs on China. Sens. Mike Crapo (R-ID) and Todd Young (R-IN) have both sought to reduce the tariffs, as well as Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA).
“Certain Senators are fighting hard to get this done, even saying such ridiculous things as it ’causes inflation,'” Trump said. “Those Senators should be questioned as to their real motives!”
Analysis by Breitbart News has shown that tariffs do not raise prices on Americans. The latest research from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) notes that there is no connection between U.S. tariffs and current inflation.
In June, the United Steelworkers (USW) wrote to Biden, pleading with him not to cut U.S. tariffs on China:
Too many U.S. companies have failed to take needed actions to address the threat posed by Chinese Communist Party policies. Many continue to outsource production, and research and development, undermining U.S. competitiveness and national security interests. They have failed to respond to the signals clearly and continuously sent by the CCP that it is not interested in competing, but in winning and dominating key industries. Our government must act in the national interest to strengthen our economy for the future. [Emphasis added]
From 2001 to 2018, U.S. free trade with China eliminated 3.7 million American jobs from the economy — 2.8 million of which were lost in American manufacturing. During that same period, at least 50,000 American manufacturing plants closed down.
Those massive job losses have coincided with a booming U.S.-China trade deficit. In 1985, before China entered the WTO, the U.S. trade deficit with China totaled $6 billion. In 2019, the U.S. trade deficit with China totaled more than $345 billion.
Meanwhile, a study from 2019 found that permanent U.S. tariffs of 25 percent on all Chinese imports would create more than a million American jobs in five years. American manufacturing is vital to the U.S. economy, as every manufacturing job supports an additional 7.4 American jobs in other industries.

President Joe Biden is traveling to Ohio on Wednesday, even as his administration is preparing to lift some of the economic tariffs on China.
The president is expected to journey to Cleveland to talk abo
Congressman Tim Ryan (D-OH), who is running for Senate in Ohio, lambasted the president in June for even considering the idea.
“Letting up on a communist government that’s made it their decades-long mission to undercut American manufacturing isn’t how we bring costs down,” he wrote on social media. “It’s these kinds of irresponsible trade policies that got us here in the first place.”
Ryan, however, previously opposed Trump’s tariffs on China. In 2018, he criticized Trump for inflicting “maximum damage on the U.S. economy for minimal gain.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday no decision had been made on tariffs, but criticized former President Donald Trump for imposing tariffs on China “in such a haphazard way, in a non-strategic way.”
“We are — want to make sure that we have the right approach,” she said.
Trump lambasted Biden in a statement about his plan to lift tariffs, calling the idea the “greatest gift” to China.
“Taking these Tariffs off would be a clear signal that the United States is weak, ineffective, and doing business as usual,” he wrote.

Corporations have campaigned extensively to get Biden to lift tariffs, citing record-high inflation as a reason for doing so.
But economists estimate lifting tariffs will have a very little immediate impact on consumer prices.
Because he hates Americans, President Joe
Biden is shipping much-needed American oil
to foreign countries, including… China.

Schweizer: ‘It’s Going to Be Business as Usual’ for Hunter’s Dealings
Joe Biden, the corrupt, unaccomplished 47-year career politician, with a reputation of having been a proud segregationist, an unabashed plagiarist and liar, a resolute tale-teller, and a serial flip-flopper, is pretending to head up a radical social-democratic ticket for President of the United States that includes as his running mate the ambitious, disagreeable junior senator from California: Kamala Harris.
Joe Biden didn’t do anything wrong? A time-honored method of taking bribes is having them paid to a family member, usually in exchange for nominal or nonexistent services. It is comical to watch “reporters” pretend not to understand this.
MONICA SHOWALTER
There’s also the little problem of Hillary’s incredible corruption (making her and Biden birds of a feather). And of course, the fact that Hillary’s unsecure server damaged national security in a way that would have seen an ordinary, politically unconnected person spend the rest of her life in prison—which, not coincidentally, is where Papa Joe belongs for using his debauched son Hunter as the bagman for decades of anti-American corruption
ANDREA WIDBURG
“Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton Foundation and the Obama book and television deals. Then there is the Biden family corruption, followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the Warren and Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government corruption. BRIAN C JOONDEPH
What’s really baffling is Hunter’s success with women. Despite being a total loser with a terrible drug habit and some weird sexual perversions, Hunter managed to seduce his brother’s widow, her sister, a stripper, and the woman he married, all over the course of four years. It’s enough to make one think that Hunter’s charm had less to do with the man himself and more with the benefits flowing from the Biden family cartel. ANDREA WIDBERG
As a senator, Biden vigorously voted for several similar bills. In short, based on his voting record, Joe Biden is not (and never was) a champion of disadvantaged Americans, unless you consider multi-billion-dollar credit card corporations and millionaires “disadvantaged.” Chris Talgo
Nancy Pelosi, a horrid woman equally as without heart and soul, on Tuesday refused to have the names of the thirteen soldiers killed in Kabul read out on the floor of the House. That should permanently indict her for being the wicked witch she is. She is more devious, more calculating than the irresponsible Biden but every bit as beyond redemption as he is. She will do anything to try to convince the American people, for whom she has only contempt, that whatever she and her party do is righteous no matter how loathsome and totalitarian. PATRICIA McCARTHY
Biden lied about his undergraduate degree and his majors, lied about his rank in law school, lied aboutscholarships and educational aid he had received, lied about his stance toward the Vietnam war while in college, lied about his plagiarism of other politician's writings and speeches, lied about the circumstances around his first wife's fatal accident, lied about how he met his second and current wife, and lied about the affair they were having when they were both married. MARK CHRISTIAN
Most recently and dramatically, Biden lied about his knowledge of his son's shady dealings, lied about his own involvement in corruption and ribery, and lied about his current presidential agenda and what he wants to implement in regards to energy, fracking, court-packing, health care, education, and COVID among other issues.

Nolte: Joe Biden Ships U.S. Oil Reserves to Foreign Countries
Because he hates Americans, President Joe Biden is shipping much-needed American oil to foreign countries, including… China.
The whole idea of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), which is owned by the U.S. government, specifically the U.S. Department of Energy, is to hold on to about 700 million barrels of oil in the event of an emergency or disruption.
But now, because His Fraudulency Joe Biden has closed pipelines, killed oil and gas leases, refused to allow refining to expand, and has gone to war with affordable energy; the SPR is releasing about a million gallons a day into the U.S. economy.
Instead of doing something permanent and useful; instead of solving the crisis he created (that put a gallon of gas over five dollars), he’s looking to steady gas prices his collapsing poll numbers by squandering our reserves.
That’s bad enough, so bad the SPR is now at its lowest level since 1986.
Well, when it comes to punishing the American people he so obviously loathes, that’s bad enough is never enough for Biden. Nope. He always finds a way to take his contempt for America and Americans a step further—which he has. Get this:
More than 5 million barrels of oil that were part of a historic U.S. emergency reserves release to lower domestic fuel prices were exported to Europe and Asia last month, according to data and sources, even as U.S. gasoline and diesel prices hit record highs.
[…]
The fourth-largest U.S. oil refiner, Phillips 66, shipped about 470,000 barrels of sour crude from the Big Hill SPR storage site in Texas to Trieste, Italy, according to U.S. Customs data. Trieste is home to a pipeline that sends oil to refineries in central Europe.
Atlantic Trading & Marketing (ATMI), an arm of French oil major TotalEnergies, exported 2 cargoes of 560,000 barrels each, the data showed.
Oh, and, “Cargoes of SPR crude were also headed to the Netherlands and to a Reliance refinery in India, an industry source said. A third cargo headed to China, another source said.”
China.
China!
We’re sending our oil to the country that sent us the coronavirus!
Why?
Why would Biden do something like this?
Why would Biden okay this when 1) this oil is about protecting America’s national security, and 2) this oil can help bring down American gas prices?
The asking of the question gives you the answer. The answer is right there in the words “America” and “Americans.”
Joe Biden and the Democrats hate America and Americans. They see us as the problem. You see, we drive cars and live in big houses. So do they, but they see themselves as the elite, as overseers, and our overseers don’t want the rest of us to be comfortable or independent. They want us needy and dependent because that’s where they derive their fascist power from.
Joe Biden and the Democrats will always put foreign countries and foreigners above Americans, especially the millions of illegal aliens they hope to replace us with.
They hate us. They hate everything about us. We’re too self-sufficient, we just want to be left alone, we’re about to vote a buttload of them out of office, and when it comes to their sick, perverted, we-want-to-have-sex-with-your-children trans agenda, we are not buying it.
So, Joe Biden and Democrats are punishing us for the sin of wanting to be left alone and wanting our children to be left alone. They are deliberately increasing gas prices to hurt us, and one way to increase gas prices is to ship our oil to foreign countries. Another way is to flood the country with millions of illegals who consume oil (and housing), creating more scarcity and higher prices.

Biden State Department Taps Beijing Bull To Run China Shop
Tom Donilon has promoted investments in China, opposed tariffs on regime
Tom Donilon / APChuck Ross •
The Biden administration's pick to advise the State Department on "strategic competition" with Beijing chairs an investment think tank that urged Americans to triple their investments in China.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday selected BlackRock Investment Institute chairman and Obama administration national security adviser Tom Donilon to co-chair the Foreign Affairs Policy Board amid the State Department’s pivot to China.
Donilon’s work at BlackRock could pose a conflict of interest for the board, which provides "advice, feedback, and perspectives" to senior State Department officials on foreign policy matters. Under his leadership, the Investment Institute has urged investors to dramatically increase their stakes in Chinese companies. What’s more, BlackRock views "strategic competition" with China as bad for the company’s bottom line.
"Strategic competition between the U.S. and China and resulting tensions have also contributed to uncertainty in the geopolitical and regulatory landscapes," reads BlackRock’s most recent annual report. The firm listed U.S.-Chinese competition as a factor that could hurt its revenue and profit. BlackRock opened a mutual fund in China in September, making it the first American firm approved to sell financial products there.
BlackRock’s Chinese entanglements have raised concerns that the company is undermining the United States. The company has come under fire for investing in sanctioned Chinese companies, including surveillance giant Hikvision. Even progressive megadonor George Soros called BlackRock’s investments in China a "tragic mistake" that would damage U.S. national security interests.
Donilon has sided with China in the debate over tariffs imposed during the Trump administration. He chided government officials in 2019 about the tariffs and inaccurately warned that they would cause a global recession.
"Future generations of Americans will judge today’s leaders harshly for squandering this moment," Donilon wrote in an article touted by China Daily, a mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party.
Tariffs "are hurting U.S. businesses, consumers, and farmers," Donilon wrote. "They are alienating U.S. allies. And, analysts warn, they are increasing the risk of a global recession."
The Foreign Affairs Policy Board plays a crucial role at the State Department. The department says the board is "necessary to supplement the advice and support the Secretary gets from the Department" on a broad range of international issues. Its meetings are closed to the public due to "discussions on sensitive, and often classified, topics and materials."
Tariffs are likely to be an area of focus for the board, as will the administration’s position on China’s human rights record and increased military activity in the Pacific and South China Sea. Blinken has accused Beijing of waging genocide against Muslims in western China. Other officials, including climate envoy John Kerry, have refused to confront Chinese leaders on the topic for fear of hurting cooperative efforts on climate change.
Donilon, whom Blinken has called his "dear friend," is the latest in a string of Biden allies to land an influential advisory post. The State Department picked Dominic Ng, the chairman of East West Bank, to represent the United States on the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation’s Business Advisory Council. Ng, a major Biden donor, has criticized U.S. foreign policy toward China and served on organizations linked to the Chinese Communist Party.
Biden selected his longtime friend, Chris Dodd, to serve as special adviser for the Summit of the Americas. Dodd signed an ethics agreement because his lobbying firm represents some of the countries represented at the summit. Biden appointed another major donor, Joe Kiani, to serve on the Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
Neither the State Department nor BlackRock returned requests for comment.
Biden Whistleblower Emails: Chinese Energy Company Gave $5 Million Non-Secured, Forgivable Loan to Biden ‘Family'
A 2017 email from a top official with a Chinese energy firm, provided by a whistleblower to U.S. Senate investigators, demonstrates the terms of an agreement included officials with the firm giving a $5 million non-secured, forgivable loan to the Biden “family.”
The email, sent to SinoHawk Holdings CEO Tony Bobulinski, shows how a top official with CEFC Energy — a now bankrupt and defunct energy company based in China — offered to wire $10 million into an account to begin operations, $5 million worth of which would be a non-secured forgivable loan to the “BD Family,” which means the Biden family.
Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer spent four and a half hours with Bobulinski before he went public, and discussed these communications in particular regarding this loan during that meeting. According to Schweizer, the Chinese energy company officials were going to put $10 million into an account, $5 million of which was designated as a non-secured forgivable loan to the Biden family. Schweizer said this would constitute significant leverage the Chinese energy company officials would have over the Biden family.
“In a way, this would give CEFC greater leverage over the Biden family than simply giving them a gift or bribe because if they were dissatisfied with what the Bidens were doing they could ask for their money back,” Schweizer told Breitbart News when asked about the arrangement upon the public release of Bobulinski’s emails.
The email also says that $5 million loan is “interest free” and asks how that $5 million would be used, and if used up, whether CEFC should lend more money to the Biden family.
This email further fleshes out details surrounding the controversial arrangement first uncovered by U.S. Senate investigators in a recent Homeland Security Committee report, and later further uncovered by a bombshell New York Post story on emails retrieved from Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Bobulinski’s new emails add to the story by including terms of the financial arrangement behind the wire transfer that CEFC officials made into a firm aligned with the Bidens that then made significant payments to Hunter Biden’s own firm, a wire transfer and financial payments that were first exposed by Senate investigators. The New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop emails added more information to this questionable arrangement by revealing emails that showed how Biden associates intended to divvy up the cash from the Chinese investors.
These new emails from Bobulinski add more to the picture by showing that the agreement was that this payment would serve as a non-secured forgivable loan, and that the CEFC side of the arrangement understood that the then-forthcoming payment — which Senate investigators confirmed was made just two weeks after these discussions —would serve as a loan to the Biden “family,” not just to Hunter Biden.
An e-mail to Hunter Biden's partner from a top Chinese official on July 26, 2017 shows the Chinese energy company CEFC proposed a $5 million "interest-free" loan to the Biden family "based on their trust on [Biden] family[.]"

This email is part of a broader trove of documents that Bobulinski provided to U.S. Senate investigators with the Homeland Security and Finance Committees, and also to media outlets including Breitbart News. Other media outlets are reporting on the emails as well.
According to the Senate Homeland Security Committee’s recent report, $5 million was wired directly into the account in question two weeks later — and then Hunter Biden’s firm spent the next year wiring $4.8 million from there into his own firm’s account:
Less than two weeks later, on August 8, 2017, $5 million was wired from a CEFC-affiliated investment vehicle to a Delaware LLC, which spent the next year transfering nearly $4.8 million directly to Hunter Biden's firm, according to Senate investigators. https://t.co/Byyo3FNp3T pic.twitter.com/8XHHVTuFml

CEFC was a controversial energy company, as Breitbart News has reported. “The owner of CEFC, Ye Jianming, was among the most ambitious of Chinese tycoons before his business empire collapsed and he vanished into the Communist nation’s shadowy prison system,” Breitbart News’ John Hayward wrote earlier this week. “Ye was once portrayed as one of China’s greatest rags-to-riches stories, a humble park ranger who began making successful oil investments in his twenties and became a billionaire before he hit 40. He was marketed as an affable businessman foreigners could feel safe making deals with, well-connected but not an obvious tool of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).”
CEFC is at the center of the burgeoning Biden scandal. When Bobulinski went public on Wednesday night, he was the first source on one of the emails that the New York Post published from Hunter Biden’s laptop retrieved from a computer repair store in Delaware. One such story that the Post published was about Hunter Biden and the Biden family seeking a deal with CEFC, and in those original emails James Gilliar of J2cR emails Bobulinski about “remunerations packages” related to the CEFC deal.
“I am the recipient of the email published seven days ago by the New York Post which showed a copy to Hunter Biden and Rob Walker. That email is genuine,” Bobulinski said in his statement issued publicly.
Bobulinski had been, sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News, cooperating with the Wall Street Journal for an investigation it is working on. But since the Journal has not published its story several days later after its staff had indicated it would, Bobulinski decided to go public on his own on Wednesday night — and made clear he is cooperating with Senate investigators.
In the original email, published by the New York Post, from Hunter Biden’s laptop, Gilliar references a breakdown of how money acquired would be distributed throughout the firm of which Bobulinski was CEO. The email says at one point that “10 held by H for the big guy.”
In his nearly 700-word statement, Bobulinski confirmed the authenticity of that email and further explained its meeting including that “the big guy” was a reference to former Vice President Joe Biden, the 2020 Democrat presidential nominee, himself.
“What I am outlining is fact. I know it is fact because I lived it. I am the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings which was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family,” Bobulinski said. “I was brought into the company to be the CEO by James Gilliar and Hunter Biden. The reference to ‘the big guy’ in the much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe Biden. The other ‘JB’ referenced in that email is Jim Biden, Joe’s brother. Hunter Biden called his dad ‘the Big Guy’ or ‘my Chairman,’ and frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing. I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business. I’ve seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it wasn’t just Hunter’s business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line.”
Hunter Biden’s Firms Scored Reportedly Hundreds of Millions from Russians, Chinese, and Kazakhs

Hunter Biden, son of 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden, has come under scrutiny for his business links to Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma while his father was vice president.
Now, a new book by author Peter Schweizer reveals Hunter Biden forged other business deals with individuals and entities tied with the governments of Russia, China, and Kazakhstan, that reportedly scored him hundreds of millions of dollars.
The book, titled Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite., lays out how Hunter Biden and his business partners, in addition to his numerous Rosemont-branded entities and ventures, was deeply involved with an entity called the Burnham Financial Group.
Hunter and his business partner, Devon Archer, used Burnham to make foreign deals with governments and oligarchs, according to a copy of the book viewed by Breitbart News.
One of those oligarchs included Nurlan Abduov, the associate of another Kazakh oligarch, Kenges Rakishev. Rakishev is the son-in-law of the former vice prime minister of Kazakhstan, Imangali Tasmagambetov. Tasmagamvetov was also formerly the defense minister, and is now the Kazakh ambassador to Russia.
According to the book, an account Hunter regularly received funds from showed money arriving from a firm run by Rakishev in 2014:
A Morgan Stanley investment account from which Hunter regularly received funds shows money arriving from mysterious
sources around the world. There is a $142,300 deposit in April 2014 from Kazakh oligarch–controlled Novatus Holdings. Kenges
Rakishev, whose father-in-law is the former vice prime minister of Kazakhstan and a close ally of Kazakh dictator Nursultan
Nazarbayev, runs the offshore firm.
While Burnham received funds from Kazakh oligarchs, Archer acted as a backchannel between Kazakhstan to then-Secretary of State John Kerry, according to the book. (Kerry’s stepson Chris Heinz was a business partner with Biden and Archer in some of their ventures).
In a July 11, 2013, email, Kerry’s chief of staff David Wade wrote to Archer:
Devon: understand you spoke to the Secretary re having him call [Kazakh] Foreign Minister Idrisov today, can you let me know topics Idrisov wants to talk about/any requests he’ll have of the boss, so we can get paper prepared for a call. Hopefully, the situation on the home front will leave him time to do it.
Burnham also had business deals with two mysterious Chinese companies — Kirin Global Enterprses Limited and Harvest Global Investors, according to the book.
Kirin Global Enterprise Limited was an investment vehicle run by Xiangyao (or Yaojun) “Larry” Liu and Guo Jianfeng, according to Schweizer. “Very little is known about Kirin or its two principals, other than the fact that they invest heavily in mainland Chinese real estate,” he writes. Harvest Global Investors was a Chinese investment firm linked to the government in Beijing.
Burnham also had a financial relationship with Russian Oligarch Yelena Baturina, a billionaire with extensive political connections in Moscow and links to Russian organized crime, according to Schweizer. Archer said Baturina invested $200 million into “various investment funds” with which he was involved.
Burnham also got wrapped up in a $60 million fraudulent bond scheme to rip off union pension funds and the poorest Indian tribe in America, the Oglala Sioux, Schweizer writes.
In May 2016, Archer was arrested in New York and charged with “orchestrating a scheme to defraud investors and a Native American tribal entity of tens of millions of dollars.”
Some of the targeted were government employee or labor union organizations that had supported Joe Biden in the past. Biden has long described himself as a “union man.”
Although Hunter Biden was not charged, Schweizer writes, “his fingerprints were all over Burnham.” The legitimacy that his name and political status as the vice president’s son lent to Burnham was brought up repeatedly during the trial, he writes.
That status was used as a means of both recruiting pension money into the scheme and alleviating investors’ concerns, he writes. In an August 2014 email, Jason Galanis, who was convicted in the bond scheme, agreed that Burnham had “value beyond capital” because of their political connections.
Hunter Biden had an office at Burnham’s New York City offices on Fifty-Seventh Street, and during the trial, numerous witnesses came forward describing Hunter’s involvement with the firm, according to the book.
Schweizer writes these deals have long been a pattern with the Biden family, to include Hunter Biden:
With the election of his father as vice president, Hunter Biden launched businesses fused to his father’s power that led him to lucrative deals with a rogue’s gallery of governments and oligarchs around the world. Sometimes he would hitch a prominent ride with his father aboard Air Force Two to visit a country where he was courting business. Other times, the deals would be done more discreetly. Always they involved foreign entities that appeared to be seeking something from his father. Often, the countries in question, including Ukraine, Russia, and Kazakhstan, had highly corrupt political cultures.
In short, Hunter Biden was not cutting business deals in Japan or Great Britain, where disclosure rules and corporate governance might require greater scrutiny. These were deals in the truly dark corners of the world.

Will America Become China's Vassal?
The dire cost of Biden taking the White House.
Fri Dec 11, 2020
Gary GindlerOn election day, Fox News betrayed President Trump, and this has puzzled many patriots. The confusion vanishes if one assumes that this episode could be just a small part of the process of China's colonization of America. China has already colonized some countries in the Pacific region, South America, and Africa for all practical purposes. Add to this list the de facto colonization of northern Italy and a large part of Russia in Eastern Siberia. Also, communist China greedily devours real estate and businesses in the United States.
Therefore, the 2020 presidential election should be seen as an integral part of this process.
From this perspective, Trump and Biden symbolize two diametrically opposed approaches to America's future. If Biden made it clear that he was ready to swear allegiance to the new master, Trump is fighting for America's economic and political independence. Biden is helped not only by the so-called "Democrats" and numerous anti-Trump Republicans but also by the world socialist movement.
The current leading force of palace intrigues in China is Xi Jinping's group of supporters of Soviet methods: "Xi Jinping belongs to the faction long forgotten in China, which at one time was aligned with the Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin." When this group came to power, a wave of repressions swept across China, like two drops of water similar to Stalin's repressions of the 30s and 40s. China's economic policy is generally reminiscent of the Soviet one. For example, foreign companies' penetration into Chinese markets is only possible if joint ventures with China are established, and all the know-how is transferred to the Chinese side.
Donald Trump, of course, is fighting for the presidency. Nevertheless, for Trump, the presidency is only part of a more significant challenge. Trump seeks not only to win these elections but to destroy once and for all the leftist movements in general. Obviously, it includes China and the so-called "Democrats." That is a much more important goal, and it looks like Trump would prevail. What if Trump loses? In this case, all his actions will be aimed at ensuring that by the next electoral cycle – in 2022 – no one in his or her right mind would even think to vote for (D)ecadence.
Trump must win Americans' sympathy to achieve his goal. There is no doubt that the Trump team is acting in this direction. Numerous hearings in state legislatures, sensational statements by witnesses, mathematical and computer experts, and court hearings, of course, show a horrid picture of election fraud by "Democrats."
Election Day has been transformed into Election Months; however, more and more Americans are convinced of the "Democrat" fraud every day. More and more Americans switch to alternative sources of information every day and thus deprive propaganda outlets of their material base. Every day more and more Americans are beginning to understand which Republican is an anti-Trumpist rooting for China and which one is a Conservative. Finally, more and more Americans are beginning to guess where the command center that issued an order to stop counting votes simultaneously in six battleground states at 2 a.m. on November 4, 2020, was located.
Trump understands that America, unfortunately, has been dozing for the past hundred years. While we were sleeping, our Constitution was undermined. We have lost control of the Washington swamp dwellers because they prefer to be controlled by Chinese interests rather than American citizens. We just lived our lives and watched football until the international leftist movement attempted to steal our America out from under our noses.
Trump's strategic goal is an America, which is not sleeping at the wheel.
There is now every sign that America's sleeping giant is awake. Thanks to China – the elections they most likely helped to steal could be the Chinese equivalent of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Thanks to the "Democratic" fraudsters and their leader Joe "Yuan" Biden – the 2020 elections were the last straw.
In 1776 we did not want to be vassals to the British king, and in 2020 we do not want to be vassals of the communists.
China communists and their distant ideological cousins on the Left – the American "Democrats," of course, went for broke. They have in their arsenal not only economic and political methods. A very extraordinary direction of China's expansion is that the communists began to transfer their enterprises to the United States, considering our country as one of the offshore destinations for money laundering. Based on our knowledge of communists' methods, the most probable course of action by the Politburo of the Communist Party of China would be outright buying of politicians. It seems they calculated (quite correctly) that they need to buy a limited number – no more than a few thousand – key politicians worldwide to carry out their expansion plans. This path seems to them to be quicker and economically more feasible.
The massive importation of drugs into the United States was one of the main activities of the Soviet KGB, for which numerous drug cartels were created (have you ever wondered why most drug cartels are in countries with strong left-wing traditions?) It was the Chinese comrades who did what the Soviet comrades could not achieve – flood America with fentanyl.
China's espionage has reached a level that the Soviet KGB could only dream of. Under Bush and Obama, China's cyber attacks, like Operation Titan Rain, were incredibly successful. Consider the 2013 attack, when China took over the personal files of 21 million US government employees. China uses widespread blackmail and bribes to lobby her interests in Washington.
In 2020, communist China used artificial intelligence algorithms to identify Americans who could participate in the Antifa and Black Lives Matter pogroms (of course, the Chinese communists favor only left-wing organizations). Once identified, these Americans were sent instructions (including well-crafted videos) on organizing riots via social media. As we now know, American "Democrats" enthusiastically participated in this orgy. Finally, everybody has noticed that numerous concentration camps sprung up worldwide as a precursor to CoronaGulag.
Trump has swung not only at the Chinese communists, not only at the "Democrats" as traditional rivals of the American conservatives, and not only at the Washington swamp. All the above suggests that Donald Trump is an historical figure on a much larger scale than it seems at first glance.
Trump is fighting a global communist Utopia, also known as the "Global Gulag."
The "Democrats," if they do win this battle with China's help, will find themselves in a completely new, redefined reality – the majority of the country's population will regard them as usurpers, deceitful and dishonest people. If an infirm old marionette settles in the White House, it will be a classic Pyrrhic victory, where winning a battle leads to losing the war.
Donald Trump has been compared with Winston Churchill more than once, and these comparisons, of course, have a good reason. They are based on the similarity of the circumstances these leaders had to face. Churchill, too, found himself in a situation where he and his country were single-handedly fighting both German Socialists' horde and the numerous National Socialism and International Socialism supporters among the British establishment.
If the socialists come to power despite Trump's actual landslide victory, then the political suicide of the "Democrats" will enter the final phase. Moreover, the American patriots who feel down in the dumps should remember one of the quotes commonly attributed to Churchill: "Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVL-8P82_20
Naïve American people had no idea what they were getting with Biden: A senile, corrupt, debauched old man with a son who was a conduit for his dirty dealings and who has a personal life so disgusting it’s hard to write about it. That’s what the American media and the tech tyrants have done to America. ANDREA WIDBURG
New Hunter Biden revelation undermines president's comments: Turley
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCk4RlPkFSQ
Bidens of all sorts are under federal investigation for tax evasion, money-laundering, and unregistered agent foreign ties, as this Politico report citing Hunter notes.
Biden, the frontrunner among 2020 Democrats, often touts his
middle-class bonafides on the campaign trail. Although Biden did
not become a multi-millionaire until he left the White House in
2017, the same cannot be said of his family. In fact, several
members of the Biden clan became immensely wealthy over the
span of the former vice president’s 40-year political career.
HARIS ALIC
The fact that Hunter's market value was derived from his
father's position seemed to be a source of resentment for
the younger Biden, even as he continued to cash in on the
name. Hunter complained in texts to his daughter that he
had financially supported the Biden clan for three decades
and that "pop" takes a cut of "half [my] salary." Financial
records and correspondence reported on by Devine
indicate that money from Hunter's business accounts was
used to cover Joe's AT&T bill and home maintenance
expenses and that a portion of at least one major China
deal was earmarked for the elder Biden. Alana Goodman

Report: Justice Department Weighs Charging Hunter Biden for Tax, Gun Violations
Hunter Biden could reportedly be charged by the Justice Department for tax violations and lying to law enforcement about illegally purchasing a firearm, as the probe into President Joe Biden’s son comes to a head.
Trump-appointed U.S. prosecutor David Weiss is deliberating whether to charge Hunter for “making a false statement in connection with Biden’s purchase of a firearm at a time he would have been prohibited from doing so because of his acknowledged struggles with drug addiction,” CNN reported Wednesday.
As Breitbart News reported, Hunter may have lied on paperwork he submitted when purchasing a handgun in 2018 by not disclosing his drug additions. Hunter’s sister-in-law, with whom he had an affair, reportedly took his gun and disposed of it. Hunter’s text messages reveal the Secret Service, the FBI, and state law enforcement likely became involved, but without consequences for the president’s son.
The probe, which has been ongoing for years and debated for months among Justice Department officials, also centers on the Biden family’s foreign business schemes while Joe Biden was vice president. During those years, Hunter routinely met with Joe Biden about 30 times at either the White House or the vice president’s residences at the Naval Observatory, Hunter’s laptop from hell revealed.
In particular, Weiss is studying whether Hunter and associates “violated money laundering, campaign finance, tax and foreign lobbying laws, as well as whether Hunter Biden broke federal firearm and other regulations,” multiple CNN sources said.
The deliberations have not only included the Justice Department but have reportedly engulfed the FBI and IRS Criminal Investigation agency.
Hunter has been hoping to settle the investigation without criminal or civil charges, the New York Times reported.
Joe Biden’s Attorney General, Merrick Garland, has promised not to interfere with the probe. “He is supervising the investigation and I’m not at liberty to talk about internal Justice Department deliberations, but he is in charge of that investigation,” Garland said of Weiss.
Garland has refused to say whether a special counsel should be placed over the investigation to maintain a just investigation. A special counsel would provide a degree of separation between Biden’s administration and the probe. Legal experts have stated a special counsel is necessary because Joe Biden has denied any wrongdoing by Hunter and may have influenced the ongoing investigation.
Weiss will have to weigh if there is enough evidence to seek a federal grand jury indictment against Hunter in an investigation that may end up including other members of the Biden family, such as Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden, and potentially the president himself. CNN reported, however, that the president is not under the microscope of the probe. Yet evidence shows Joe Biden has been involved in his the family business schemes13 times.
The probe into Hunter could include his business dealings with Ukrainian Energy company Burisma Holdings and a Chinese energy conglomerate, as well as implicating his father the Vice President and other family members.
According to a Rasmussen Reports poll on Thursday, most Americans believe the Bidens’ corrupt business practices are worrisome. Sixty-nine percent of voters say Joe Biden is aware of “at least some” of Hunter Biden’s corrupt foreign business deals. Sixty-two percent say it is likely Joe Biden “personally profited from deals with Chinese- government connected companies.”
In 2018 and 2020, Breitbart senior contributor and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer published Secret Empires and Profiles in Corruption. Each book hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and exposed how Hunter Biden and Joe Biden flew aboard Air Force Two in 2013 to China before Hunter’s firm inked a $1.5 billion deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese government’s Bank of China just 10 days after the trip.
Schweizer’s work also uncovered the Biden family’s other vast and lucrative foreign deals and cronyism. Breitbart political editor Emma-Jo Morris’s investigative work on the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” also captured international headlines when she, along with Miranda Devine, revealed Joe Biden was intimately involved in Hunter’s businesses, appearing to even have a 10% stake in a company the scion formed with officials at the highest levels of the CCP.

Will America Become China's Vassal?
The dire cost of Biden taking the White House.
Fri Dec 11, 2020
Gary GindlerOn election day, Fox News betrayed President Trump, and this has puzzled many patriots. The confusion vanishes if one assumes that this episode could be just a small part of the process of China's colonization of America. China has already colonized some countries in the Pacific region, South America, and Africa for all practical purposes. Add to this list the de facto colonization of northern Italy and a large part of Russia in Eastern Siberia. Also, communist China greedily devours real estate and businesses in the United States.
Social media appear to be planning to censor the truth about the Democrats prior to the November election
Social media apparently are planning on turbo-charging the censoring of conservative voices — particularly ones who criticize Democrats — leading up to the midterm elections. How do I know this? What happened to me on Twitter last weekend cannot be an accident and is enough evidence for me. That's how.
What I am about to report is anecdotal. But from little anecdotes, great forests of fake news and censorship can grow.
Last weekend, I read an article at Yahoo News that was originally published at the certifiably left-wing site The Daily Beast. The article's title was "'Shocking' Monkeypox Screw-Up Means We Need to Admit We Now Face Two Pandemics." The message was clear: another major pandemic is imminent, and the federal government and the tail wagging the dog — the medical establishment — will soon be unveiling draconian plans to combat it, similar to what went down for two years with COVID-19.
Since Drudge had linked to the article at the top of his site for almost 24 hours on July 16, most of the reader comments at Yahoo News were pretty much on target and highly skeptical. I decided to tweet a link to the article, and I added three hashtags. This is what I tweeted:
Is Monkeypox the new Democrats' Plandemic? Sounds like it. https://news.yahoo.com/shocking-monkeypox-screw-means-admit-030643200.html
Read this closely & then the comments. #monkeypox #plandemic #fauci
Shortly after my tweet went online, it was taken down, and I was blocked from logging in to my account. This is part of the message from Twitter that awaited me:
What happened? We have determined that this account violated the Twitter Rules. Specifically, for:
1. Violating the policy on spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to COVID-19. We understand that during times of crisis and instability, it is difficult to know what to do to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. Under this policy, we require the removal of content that may pose a risk to people's health, including content that goes directly against guidance from authoritative sources of global and local public health information.
For more information on COVID-19, as well as guidance from leading global health authorities, please refer to the following links: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) advice for the public from the WHO FAQs about COVID-19 from the WHO
As a result, we've temporarily limited some of your account features. While in this state, you can still browse Twitter, but you're limited to only sending Direct Messages to your followers –– no Tweets, Retweets, Fleets, follows, or likes.
To restore access to my account, I was required to agree that I had violated the rules (a digital mea culpa), delete my offensive tweet (which had already been deleted by Twitter), and promise not to do it again. A 12-hour countdown began after I agreed to all of this until I could access my account again. I was warned that a further transgression might result in my permanent banning from Twitter and the total deletion of my account.
The action taken against me appears to be an early sign that social media are preparing a new wave of rigid censorship leading up to the election. I feel like the canary in the coal mine. It's like what happened with the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story in Oct. 2020. More broadly now, it appears that anything criticizing the Democrats will be canceled.
While I have soured on Twitter in recent years and use it only occasionally, my five years of tweeting represent a table of contents of descriptions and links to my prolific work as a journalist in a variety of media — alternative and mainstream. Occasionally, I retweet others' tweets as well. I would hate for that archive representing many hours of work to suddenly and forever disappear down the memory hole. There is also the issue of Twitter direct messages. The five years' worth of messages back and forth with hundreds of people I have communicated with, and their contact info on Twitter, would also disappear if I were canceled. For most of them, I would have no other way of communicating with them.
I immediately attempted to understand what I had supposedly done to earn the ire of a Twitter bot or possibly a human and woke Twitter employee. For one thing, my tweet never directly mentioned COVID. Additionally, a Google search revealed that thousands of tweets — which remain online — also link the words "plandemic" and "monkeypox." What was my crime, then?
It appears to have been the inclusion of "Democrats," as in "Is Monkeypox the Democrats' new Plandemic?" That's the only reasonable deduction I could make.
In the past, I have posted far more critical tweets about COVID and other politically incorrect topics, none of which has ever resulted in a warning from Twitter. I won't link to any of them here in case someone from Twitter is reading this and might take further action against me for something he might have previously overlooked.
But I don't think anyone did overlook what I tweeted in the past, or what thousands of others are tweeting right now. A reasonable suspicion is that "Democrats" is the new red flag for getting one censored or ultimately canceled.
If I am correct, then RIP the First Amendment — now that the town square and most people's primary sources for information have been reduced to the increasingly narrow, woke, and pathetic confines of social media.

So, Joe Biden and Democrats are punishing us for the sin of wanting to be left alone and wanting our children to be left alone. They are deliberately increasing gas prices to hurt us, and one way to increase gas prices is to ship our oil to foreign countries. Another way is to flood the country with millions of illegals who consume oil (and housing), creating more scarcity and higher prices. JOHN NOLTE

Hunter Biden Still Owns Stake in Chinese Oil Company, Chinese Records Show
Skaneateles, a company Hunter Biden founded with a ten percent stake in BHR Partners, still holds a ten percent interest in the company despite claims to the contrary, according to Chinese business records.
Hunter Biden “no longer holds any interest, directly or indirectly in either BHR or Skaneateles,” Hunter’s lawyer Chris Clark claimed in November to the New York Times.
But Chinese business records contradict Clark’s claim. “Chinese site Qixin says the latest filing comes from BHR itself and that it was filed last month,” the Washington Examiner reported. “The 2021 annual report by BHR has an ‘announcement date’ of June 20. Skaneateles is still listed as a ‘shareholder’ with a 10% stake.”
China’s business registry may not have been changed to reflect Hunter’s vacated interest. But with Hunter’s global profile as the United States president’s son, the omission seems unlikely.
It should be noted that Hunter’s representative has also refused to say who bought the stake in the company and for what price.
Hunter’s possible part ownership of BHR Partners is relevant because BHR Partners is the same company linked to Chinese oil interests to which the Biden administration reportedly sold 950,000 barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve earlier this month.
Hunter Biden and BHR Partners also had “significant” deals, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, regarding Chinese battery manufacturer CATL, according to data from Hunter’s laptop.
Before July, Hunter was not the only Biden with a connection to BHR Partners. In 2017, Joe Biden wrote a college recommendation letter for a child of Hunter’s Chinese business partner, Jonathan Li, with whom Joe Biden met in China. Li is CEO of BHR. Joe Biden and Li first reportedly met in 2013 when Hunter Biden flew to China with his father aboard Air Force Two.
Joe Biden and his staff have claimed at least seven times that the president has had no part in the family business. Yet, Joe Biden has been involved in the family business at least 13 times over nine years.

Josh Hawley Seeks to Ban Federal Contracts for China-Linked Consulting Firms
A plan by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) would prohibit the United States federal government from awarding contracts to China-linked consulting firms.
The legislation, called the Time to Choose Act, would prohibit the Department of Defense and other federal agencies from dishing out contracts to U.S. consulting firms that contract with the Chinese government, Chinese Communist Party, or subsidiaries.
“The fact that these consultants are awarded huge contracts by our Defense Department and other federal agencies, while they are simultaneously working to advance China’s efforts to coerce the United States is appalling and completely unacceptable,” Hawley said.
“It is well past time that we hold these companies accountable and prohibit this kind of conflict of interest in government contracting,” he continued.
In addition, Hawley’s legislation would impose penalties on consulting firms that attempt to hide or misrepresent their affiliations with the Chinese government. They would also be banned from receiving future contracts.
Likewise, the legislation would terminate existing federal contracts with firms working for China and require those firms to pay fines in the sum of three times what the U.S. government spent on their contract.
Most recently, McKinsey & Company was found to be working for China-owned corporations while also holding federal contracts with the United States government. Since 2008, the firm has received nearly $900 million in taxpayer money via contracts.

Corrupti-looza: Biden family wastes no time profiting from public office
In one-party states such as the old PRI-ruled Mexico, the stealing tended to start late. Before a Mexican president was escorted out for the next, he and his would sweep the presidential palace for everything not nailed down -- the lightbulbs, the toilet seats, the doorknobs and more. There were exceptions, but it was generally the known narrative. In more than one Latin American country, the last-minute asset grab on the way out actually had a name -- "La Pinata." After all, as former PRI mayor of Mexico City, Carlos Hank Gonzalez, used to say: "A politician who's poor is a poor politician."
Which brings us to Joe Biden, and his family's unusually fast scramble to profit from his public office right out the gate.
Son Hunter still has his 10% China equity fund stake, contrary to what had been reported, and a new art gig just perfect for bringing in money from non-transparent sources, as the New York Post, in this excellent report notes, all because his blow-pipe 'art' done as his personal art therapy is somehow so very valuable.
Brother Frank, meanwhile, is advertising his connections to old Joe for Florida law firm he's connected with, using Joe's name in a bid to drum up business. As New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin reported:
The latest sordid example involves one of Joe’s younger brothers, Frank Biden, appearing in a Florida law firm’s ad — on Inauguration Day no less. The ad used the president’s name to draw attention to the Berman Law Group’s class-action suit against sugar cane growers.
“The two Biden brothers have long held a commitment to pushing environmental issues to the forefront,” says the ad. “The president-elect has vowed to rejoin the Paris Agreement and wants to set ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets.”
The ad, first reported by CNBC, appeared in the Daily Business Review and carried a picture of Frank Biden and quotes him saying, “My brother is a model for how to go about doing this work.”
How touching. And shameless.
Brother James hasn't changed any, still under federal investigation for a hospital company that feds say isn't being run properly.
Bidens of all sorts are under federal investigation for tax evasion, money-laundering, and unregistered agent foreign ties, as this Politico report citing Hunter notes.
And it seems to be having a knock-on effect as Vice President Kamala Harris's stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff, an art student (which generally isn't the most employable of professions), has suddenly gotten a fancy modeling contract, to be a 'style icon,' which hadn't been her forte until the establishment noticed she was close to power. Now they're gushing about her, selling her as stylish as emperor's new clothes. Kamala Harris, meanwhile, might just owe someone a favor.
It's happening, Goodwin observes, because the Bidens have been doing it for decades, and never with any consequences. Now that Joe's 'the big guy' and not a mere vice president, for them it's all the better.
Which is true enough as far as it goes, but still doesn't entirely explain the speed of the influence-peddling and pocket-lining -- why, contrary to the Mexican and Latin American model -- did the rush to grab money start on day one?
With these questionable acts starting early -- despite Joe's call to brother Frank to 'watch yourself,' what seems a distinct possibility is that the family members think the gig is not going to last so the time to act is now.
Maybe they're betting Joe isn't going to last for one reason or another. That might explain why they are rushing to scarf up all they can without covering their tracks. They're like fund managers divesting a stock --- quickly, and all at once. Fund managers buy stocks quietly and gradually on expectations the price will go up, but when they think it's heading down, they don't play around, they dump it all at once and don't care who's watching.
That kind of desperation seems to be evident in House Biden's quick bid to cash in all at once, too. Do they know something we don't? Do they expect their window of opportunity will be short? How is it they can jump up so fast to cash in, even against warnings from Joe, who after all, assured the voters last fall with this malarkey:
“My son, my family will not be involved in any business, any enterprise that is in conflict with or appears to be in conflict, with inappropriate distance from the presidency and government,” he said.
Even with the spotlight on, for them, it's as if the walls are closing in and Gotterdammerung is beckoning. If that's not a vote of low confidence in the durability of Joe and his presidency, what really is?

China Urges World to Disregard Protesters Storming Banks for Cash
China’s state-run Global Times claimed on Tuesday that Western media was unnecessarily “hyping” protests by roughly 1,000 people in Zhengzhou, China, on Sunday in which participants demanded several rural banks release millions of dollars of deposits after unceremoniously freezing them in April, ignoring the fact that Chinese security personnel physically abused and injured several demonstrators during the rally.
The Chinese Communist Party-controlled newspaper’s editors the following on July 12:
Chinese experts on Tuesday refuted recent Western media hype over problems with four rural banks in Central China’s Henan Province that have sparked widespread attention as well as swift regulatory actions, noting that the cases are “isolated” and do not represent any nationwide systemic risk and China has the capability to prevent major financial risks after years of efforts to set up a multiple-layered financial risk aversion mechanism.
An estimated 1,000 people participated in a rally outside the Zhengzhou branch of China’s central bank on July 10 to demand the bank release millions of dollars in deposits that were frozen without explanation in April. Several people told various media outlets, including Reuters and the Associated Press (AP), that they were physically assaulted by security personnel associated with the bank and police officers while demonstrating on Sunday.
Reuters published video footage of Sunday’s protest showing security personnel using a heavy hand to quell the bank rally in Zhengzhou, which is the capital of China’s Henan province. The video clip showed demonstrators standing outside the Zhengzhou branch of the People’s Bank of China on Sunday holding posters that read, “No deposit, no human rights” and “Against the corruption and violence of the Henan provincial government.”
The recording further captured various skirmishes that broke out between ralliers and security personnel. Authorities attempting to contain the protest urged the crowd to disperse via loudspeaker announcements, reportedly including the following message, “Your actions have been deemed as illegal. Leave in 10 minutes. If you do not heed instructions from staff on site, if you do not leave and if you continue to disrupt society, the police will take stern action.”
“Multiple protesters told the AP that some people were hospitalized after being hurt when police and plainclothes security officers used force to disperse the protesters, though most of the injuries were scrapes or cuts,” the news agency reported on July 12.
People in China affected by the central bank’s decision to freeze millions of dollars in deposits in April have attempted to withdraw their deposits for months, with the effort culminating in Sunday’s roughly 1,000-strong protest in Zhengzhou.
A number of affected bank clients tried to travel to Zhengzhou in mid-June to withdraw their frozen deposits. Authorities in charge of China’s central bank illegally halted their effort, abusing a government health code system by turning the codes of relevant clients “red” so that they were unable to visit the bank, despite the fact that the individuals affected were not, in fact, at higher risk of spreading Chinese coronavirus. The bank’s authorities illegally changed some clients’ health codes “red” again on July 8 after learning that more people were attempting to retrieve their frozen deposits in Henan.
The Global Times confirmed the incidents on July 8, writing:
Some depositors of small rural banks, registered in Henan Province and reportedly caught in illegal fundraising, found their health codes turned red for unknown reasons when they tried to arrive in Henan to withdraw their money, prompting suspicions of abuse of the health code system in the province.
Later investigation by discipline authorities found officials of provincial capital Zhengzhou’s epidemic prevention and control headquarters made the decision without authorization and asked a big data firm to conduct the change.
It was estimated that 1,317 clients with savings in the rural banks had their health codes changed and five officials were punished after the discipline inspection.
The China central bank branches affected by the deposit freezes are registered in Henan and include Zhecheng Huanghuai Community Bank, Yuzhou Xinminsheng Village Bank, and Shangcai Huimin Country Bank.
Representatives of China’s central bank issued a series of statements late Monday claiming that “customers with deposits of 50,000 yuan (about $7,400) or less would be reimbursed. They said others with larger bank balances would get their money back at a later, unspecified date,” the AP reported on Tuesday.
“They made this announcement because we put our lives on the line. This less than 50,000 yuan isn’t what we are owed. It’s more a payment to keep social stability,” an affected bank client surnamed Ding told the news agency.
Ding said that she and her husband were “hit by plainclothes security staff” while participating in the protest outside the Zhengzhou branch of the People’s Bank of China on July 10.

Exclusive — Donald Trump on Joe Biden Selling U.S. Oil Reserves to Chinese Company Linked to Son Hunter: ‘Terrible’
LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Former President Donald Trump ripped current President Joe Biden for selling nearly a million barrels of oil from the United States Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese company linked to his son Hunter Biden, calling the move “terrible” in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News here on Friday night.
The revelation that Biden sold oil from the official United States reserves to foreign countries, “one of which is China,” as Trump noted in the interview, rocked the news last week, leading several Republicans to demand an investigation into what happened. Trump had rebuilt the supply in the United States reserves for the first time in decades, and then Biden, during a shortage of oil where the price is at or near record highs, turned around and sold it foreign countries, something Trump called “incredible.”
“I think the whole thing is incredible,” Trump told Breitbart News. “I built up the reserves—75 million barrels of oil. We filled it up. It’s the first time in decades that that was loaded up to the top. We did it when oil was very cheap. I said this would be the time. I said ‘tell me about the reserves,’ and they told me and in about two seconds we made a big order for very little money. Now it’s being given away to China and other countries. I think it’s terrible.”
Asked if it is a scandal worthy of investigation, Trump said he consider it “certainly strange” that Biden would give American oil from the nation’s reserves to China.
“I don’t know. It’s certainly strange to be giving to, of all countries, China,” Trump said. “Now, they’re getting a lot of oil from Iran and other places. They should have no shortage. When I was president, I didn’t allow China to buy from Iran and Iran was willing to make a deal. They would have had a deal within one week after the election—within a week I would have had a deal with Iran. It’s so sad what’s happened to our country in so many different ways.”
While as of yet it is unclear if Biden or his family members, such as his son Hunter Biden, personally profited from this sale, Trump said that if that happened it would be “inconceivable,” but that the mere fact that Biden even sold U.S. oil to a Chinese company to begin with is bad enough. Trump also said Biden policies are likely to cause the price of gas to continue to increase beyond the record highs hit this summer, predicting “much higher” gas prices soon.
“It would be inconceivable that that could happen but so is even the thought of China getting millions of barrels of oil from us and we’re the ones with the shortage,” Trump said. “They don’t have a shortage, because they’re buying so much from Iran and other countries. They’re buying from Russia, by the way, and Russia is doing better than ever. They’re making a fortune over and above the cost of the war and the war is what drove the price up in terms of the barrels. Nobody can believe this would happen. If you look at everything since the election, the Russia-Ukraine war would have never happened, inflation would have never happened. We had the cost per gallon down to $1.87. Now it’s way over $5. I think it’s going to go much higher, too.”
This interview with Trump comes in the wake of Biden selling 950,000 barrels of oil, per a Department of Energy announcement earlier this year, to Unipec—the trading arm of the Chinese Communist Party-controlled Sinopec. In 2015, a private equity firm that Hunter Biden founded bought a $1.7 billion stake in Sinopec Marketing.
The ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), told Breitbart News last week that the matter is now being formally investigated. Should the GOP retake the House majority as expected in November’s midterm elections, this investigation will likely intensify, but Comer is already calling for testimony and document production from key Biden Administration officials on this deal.
“From day one, the Biden Administration has waged a war against America’s energy producers. It started with the cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline and has continued with their push to implement radical Green New Deal policies. Their recent decision to remove oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve didn’t just fail to lower high gas prices, it has now left Americans vulnerable to unstable oil markets created by this administration,” Comer told Breitbart News.
“The Department of Energy is operating behind closed doors and has left Americans in the dark. Under no circumstances should President Biden be providing our oil reserves to hostile foreign adversaries or Chinese firms linked to Hunter Biden,” Comer continued. “It’s critical for Energy Secretary Granholm to stop dodging our Congressional inquiries and testify before the Oversight Committee.”
Commerce Sec’y Raimondo: Can’t Guarantee Biden Will Get Reciprocity if We Lift Tariffs on China, Main Reason Is ‘Fighting Inflation’
During an interview with Bloomberg on Monday, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo stated that there is no guarantee President Joe Biden will get something in return from China if the U.S. relaxes tariffs on China, and the main reason for him considering lifting tariffs is to combat inflation.
Co-host David Westin asked, “In terms of specific tariffs being taken off or not, is it possible it could be bilateral? Is it possible China could actually give something to the United States to try to reformulate our trade relations?”
Raimondo responded, “Certainly, that is possible and you raise an excellent point, which is part of the discussion, one of the things the president is thinking about, which is to say if we’re going to do this, what can they do on their side of the equation. So, while I can’t say for sure. Certainly, that is possible. And by the way, if it doesn’t happen immediately, it’s something that we will continue to pursue, just in the interest of…fairness. If we’re lifting tariffs, what are they going to do? Having said all of that, I think the president — the reason he’s looking at this is because fighting inflation is his number one priority. It’s the number one thing on the minds of Americans. American families are struggling in the grocery store, at the pump. And so, the president is saying to his team, I want to know everything possible that I could do to provide relief. And so, that’s why he’s considering this and that’s why he’s looking at it.”

China: Security Personnel Assault Protesters at Bank
Several people said they were injured on Sunday by security personnel in China’s Zhengzhou city while protesting a local bank’s recent decision to freeze millions of dollars of deposits, Reuters reported.
Roughly 1,000 people gathered outside the Zhengzhou branch of China’s central bank on July 10 to demand the bank unfreeze the deposits.
Eyewitness photos and videos circulated on social media showing “depositors waving banners and throwing plastic bottles at approaching security guards who then roughly dragged some of the protesters away,” Reuters relayed.
Video obtained by Reuters and published separately on July 10 showed demonstrators at the bank rally holding posters that read, “No deposit, no human rights” and “Against the corruption and violence of the Henan provincial government.” Zhengzhou is the capital of China’s east-central province of Henan.
Detailing the video’s contents, Reuters wrote:
Scuffles broke out, and a loudspeaker was used to warn people to leave the area.
“Your actions have been deemed as illegal. Leave in 10 minutes. If you do not heed instructions from staff on site, if you do not leave and if you continue to disrupt society, the police will take stern action,” the warning blasted from the speaker said.
Security personnel ran towards them as a man’s voice was heard chanting: “Thugs! Thugs! Thugs!”
“I feel so aggrieved I can’t even explain it to you,” a 40-year-old protester surnamed Zhang told the news agency.
Zhang recounted suffering “injuries to his foot and thumb” and being “taken away by four unidentified security personnel” around midday on July 10 after he demonstrated outside of the bank.
“Security personnel outnumbered protesters by around three to one,” he revealed.
“They [security personnel] did not say they would beat us if we refused to leave. They just used the loudspeaker to say that we were breaking the law by petitioning. That’s ridiculous. It’s the banks that are breaking the law,” Zhang stated.
The man said he had participated in Sunday’s rally as part of his ongoing effort to retrieve roughly 170,000 yuan ($25,000 USD) that he deposited with Zhecheng Huanghuai Community Bank, which was one of the banks affected by the deposit freezes.
Authorities in charge of the banks froze millions of dollars worth of deposits in April. The officials explained the action to customers by saying they were “upgrading their internal systems” but refused to issue further information or updates. The affected deposits remain frozen three months later.
Chinese government authorities are reportedly investigating the relevant banks for “illegal fundraising,” according to a July 8 report by China’s state-run Global Times. The newspaper described the businesses as “small rural banks, registered in Henan Province” and identified them as including Yuzhou Xinminsheng Village Bank and the Shangcai Huimin Country Bank.
“More than 1,000 depositors from across the country had planned to gather in Zhengzhou last month to try to withdraw their money but they were unable to when their COVID-19 [Chinese coronavirus] health codes, which determine if one can travel, switched to a ‘no travel’ status,” Reuters recalled on July 10.
“Five officials were subsequently punished for misusing the health code system,” according to the news agency.

How Biden Helped a Chinese Gas Giant Boost the Communist Nation’s Oil Reserves
As Biden depletes US oil reserve, China amasses huge stockpile
Collin Anderson • July 12, 2022 5:00 amPresident Joe Biden's decision to deplete America's oil reserves is helping a top adversary—China, which has built up its own stockpile while taking advantage of Biden's firesale.
Biden's Department of Energy in April sold roughly one million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to Unipec, the trading arm of the China Petrochemical Corporation, which is wholly owned by the Chinese government. That decision came just two months after Unipec launched an "unusual buying spree" aimed at boosting China's own oil reserves.
The communist nation's strategy was clearly successful—from mid-March to mid-May, China increased its oil reserves from 869 million barrels to 926 million barrels, according to Bloomberg. America's oil reserves, meanwhile, are in freefall under Biden. The Democrat inherited 638 million barrels of reserve oil; that number is set to drop to 384.6 million barrels, the lowest level since 1984.
China's newfound oil reserve advantage poses a serious national security threat, Republican lawmakers told the Washington Free Beacon. As war rages on in Ukraine, China has strengthened its energy relationship with Russia—in May, for example, Beijing entered discussions with Moscow to buy discounted Russian oil to further fill its reserves. For Rep. Mike Waltz (R., Fla.), that development stresses the need to ramp up U.S. energy production "rather than begging foreign governments for more supply."
"At a time when millions of Americans are suffering financially at the gas pump, Joe Biden is helping replenish our biggest adversary's energy reserves with our own damn oil," Waltz said. "It's astonishing how clueless this administration is when it comes to trusting bad actors like China to help alleviate our economy. If we want to compete with China, we need to begin expanding production here at home by expanding federal drilling leases and building more pipelines."
Sen. Dan Sullivan (R., Alaska) echoed Waltz's remarks, calling the fall of American energy independence under Biden "national security suicide."
"Make no mistake: The biggest fans of Biden's radical energy policies are Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin," Sullivan told the Free Beacon. "We are in a new era of authoritarian aggression led by the dictators in Russia and China. The Biden administration needs to wake up to the fact that this new era—and our need for oil and gas—will be with us for decades to come."
Neither the White House nor the Department of Energy returned requests for comment.
It's unclear if the reserve oil Biden sold to Unipec went directly to China's own reserves, but the sale helped China grow its stockpile regardless, Power the Future founder and executive director Daniel Turner argued. Even if Unipec released the oil it purchased from the Biden administration into the global market, Turner said, the sale gave the state-controlled company additional supply that would allow China to place oil from other sources into its reserves.
"The energy market's uncertainty is a good reason for any country to stockpile oil in their strategic reserves, yet America is seemingly depleting its oil reserves to help China fill theirs," Turner told the Free Beacon. "China couldn't create a more favorable economic and national security approach to strategic oil reserves if they had created it themselves."
The Biden administration claimed its sale of 950,000 Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to Unipec would "address the pain Americans are feeling at the pump" and combat "Putin's price hike." In the months following the sale, however, the national average for a gallon of gas surpassed $5 for the first time ever. Unipec also ramped up its shipments of Russian oil in May, giving Putin a much-needed income source as Russia's economy slumps in the face of Western sanctions.
While the Biden administration has blamed sky-high gas prices on Russia's war, prices at the pump were increasing long before Putin invaded Ukraine. Biden railed against the oil and gas industry on the campaign trail in 2020, pledging to "end fossil fuel." He went on to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline and halt new gas leases on federal land during his first month in office. Those decisions have not been well received—nearly 75 percent of Americans are not satisfied with the federal government's national energy policy, the hig

Wray Defends Ending China Initiative: We Won’t Engage in and Haven’t Engaged in Profiling, We’ll Follow Law
During a portion of an interview with Fox News Correspondent David Spunt aired on Friday’s edition of the Fox News Channel’s “America Reports,” FBI Director Christopher Wray defended the ending of the Department of Justice’s China Initiative by stating that the facts and law will be followed and “We are not going to engage in profiling by ethnicity or national origin, and we haven’t.”
Wray stated, “We’re going to follow the facts and the law wherever they lead. We are not going to engage in profiling by ethnicity or national origin, and we haven’t. And we’re going to work jointly with universities. In many cases, that’s one of the most effective ways to prevent stealing of research, which is in the hands of our universities.”
During a speech on the China Initiative coming to an end in February 2022, Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen said, “We have heard concerns from the civil rights community that the ‘China Initiative’ fueled a narrative of intolerance and bias. To many, that narrative suggests that the Justice Department treats people from China or of Chinese descent differently. The rise in anti-Asian hate crime and hate incidents only heightens these concerns.”

FBN’s Bartiromo: Biden’s Promoting Electric Cars Produced in China While He Sells SPR Oil to China
During an interview with Rep. James Comer (R-KY) aired on Friday’s edition of the Fox Business Network’s “Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street,” host Maria Bartiromo said that the Biden administration, in addition to allowing the sale of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China, has pushed electric cars, a good whose top producer is based in China, while also eliminating the Department of Justice’s China Initiative and floating lifting tariffs on China.
Bartiromo stated, [relevant remarks begin around 2:20] “I know growing up in America is going to be much different than growing up in an environment where Communist China is the number one superpower. And here we have Joe Biden selling — sending our oil from the strategic reserves partly to China. You have them pushing electric vehicles, but never mentioning Tesla, even though it’s — was the number one electric producer. Now, the number one producer is actually Hong Kong-based. And of course, now we have these threats and the Biden administration wants to remove tariffs just a few months after they eliminated the China Initiative. There are questions as to why the administration is not doing more to crack down on China, and critics are pointing to Hunter Biden’s business dealings with Chinese companies.”

Exclusive — Gov. Kristi Noem Warns Biden Letting China Buy Chemical, Fertilizer, Food Processing Companies and Land in U.S.
Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD), author of Not My First Rodeo: Lessons from the Heartland, warned of China’s procurement of U.S.-based food production assets on Friday’s edition of the Breitbart News Daily podcast with host Alex Marlow.
Noem described foreign acquisitions of U.S. food production infrastructure and arable land as a threat to national security.
“I have been talking about food security as a national security issue for about 15 years, now, being involved in farming and ranching,” she remarked. “I was very young when I started working on federal policy, because the United States has always embraced a policy where we believed it was important to grow our own food in this country, and I’m a strong believer that when another country controls our food supply, that’s when they truly control us.”
She continued, “If we think a pandemic was scary, wait until we realize that we can’t put food on the grocery store shelves because China controls the entire system, and what most of America hasn’t been paying attention to, is that China — for years — has been buying up our chemical companies, our fertilizer companies, our processing systems, and now they’re buying land, and we have foreign countries that are heavily invested in that entire supply system.”
“We are losing control of the ability to feed our people,” she warned, “and that’s what is challenging us today. We finally are waking up to that, but it is going to be a serious situation that this administration needs to recognize they have a huge role in, and all they’ve done is strengthen our enemies and given them more ability to control our food supply which makes us in a very precarious situation as a country.”
Noem described big city life as a possible frustrater of human social instincts and needs. Small towns, she said, tend to afford a level of familiarity and depth of social interaction that she assessed as lacking in big cities.
“[I benefit from] an incredible perspective that so many people in this country don’t get to have,” Noem said of her life in South Dakota, “and they don’t realize how much they need it — that interaction and sense of community, and people who wave when they drive by on the road and stop and smile and ask how your day is going — is what keeps us human.”
She went on, “It feeds our souls and it helps our mental health, as well. I think so many people are constantly challenged with the busyness, the noise, and the lack of personal interaction that happens many times in big cities. [It] really does affect them long-term, and it would be good for everybody to get out and be in the country, and be in being smaller towns where people can relax and just understand that we’re all a part of humanity, and we were all created to love each other.”
Noem also warned of fatherlessness as a widespread problem across America.
“We have a fatherlessness issue [in America],” she stated. “Kids need parents in their life. They need a role model. Even for young men, it’s extremely important that they have a male role model — a father figure — in their life that can exemplify some of the traits that are needed to bring leadership to a family, but even for young women, it’s true.”
She reflected, “[My father] taught me things by doing them and giving me impossible things to do. … I think that all teaches you how to deal with other areas of life and other people, and that’s something that we’re missing in this country, right now.”
Fatherlessness contributes to excessive consumption of video games and television among children, Noem argued.
She advised, “We need our children to have people that are investing in them and are spending a lot less time watching TV and playing video games and doing entertainment than they are really spending facetime with their kids and teaching life lessons to them.”
“Our job is to prepare them for life,” Noem concluded. “When we look at our children, many times we see parents trying to do everything for their kids, and that’s crippling them. Our real job as parents is to prepare them for life, and I think the best gift my dad gave me was hard things to do, and I had to figure them out.”

“Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton Foundation and the Obama book and television deals.

· 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.
·
Senator Feinstein was alerted to the spy about five years ago. The FBI alerted Feinstein after investigating and finding the staffer shared nothing of substance.
· “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.
Mike Johnson: Biden’s ‘Creating a New Danger’ by Using Petroleum Reserve as ‘Personal Energy Slush Fund’
On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) reacted to reports that some of the oil released from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve was exported to other countries, including China, by stating that the reserve is for emergencies, “not the personal energy slush fund of the president.” And now Biden has “drained it three times to try to get himself out of the crisis that his own policies have created. Now, that’s creating a new danger for us.”
Johnson stated, “No one can explain it. That headline is just — should make every American irate. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve, of course, is there to protect our country in the event of an unforeseeable event, like a terrorist attack, natural disaster, etc. It is not the personal energy slush fund of the president. And yet he’s done it now — he’s used it three times, drained it three times to try to get himself out of the crisis that his own policies have created. Now, that’s creating a new danger for us. Because now the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is drained. … So, he’s adding more peril to the American people and more pain at the pump. It’s ridiculous.”

Report: Joe Biden Sold Nearly One Million Barrels from U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to CCP-Owned Oil Company Linked to Hunter Biden Firm
President Joe Biden’s administration sold 950,000 barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese state-owned gas company that has financial ties to a private equity firm cofounded by Hunter Biden, according to a Washington Free Beacon report.
In April, Biden’s Department of Energy announced the nearly one million barrel sale to Unipec, which is the trading arm of Sinopec. Sinopec is wholly owned and operated by the Chinese Communist Party.
Unipec reportedly purchases oil across the globe and then apparently sells it through its Sinopec Marketing subsidiary.
According to Unipec’s LinkedIn page:
UNIPEC America, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of China International United Petroleum and Chemical Co. Ltd., better known as UNIPEC. UNIPEC is the trading arm of SINOPEC, currently No.2 largest company on the Global Fortune 500 list in 2019.
Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, reportedly has financial ties to the CCP-owned Sinopec. A private equity firm Hunter Biden cofounded reportedly purchased a nearly $2 billion stake in Sinopec Marketing in 2015.
As the Free Beacon reported:
Biden is connected to Sinopec through BHR Partners, a private equity firm he cofounded in 2013. BHR bought a $1.7 billion stake in Sinopec Marketing in 2015. Biden at one point owned a 10 percent stake in BHR Partners through his wholly owned firm, Skaneateles, LLC.
It is unclear whether the younger Biden still has a financial stake in BHR Partners. Biden’s White House has repeatedly claimed throughout 2019 and 2020 that Hunter Biden was out of the equity firm, but Chinese corporate records show he still has a stake in the company.
Biden’s White House has dodged questions about Hunter Biden’s stake in BHR, directing the press to Hunter Biden’s representatives for more information.
“On the first, the president’s son is not an employee of the federal government, so I’d point you to his representatives,” former White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in December. “I think I answered your question. You can go to the representative of the person who is not an employee of the federal government.”
Biden’s administration said the sale would “address the pain Americans are feeling at the pump” and fight back against “Putin’s price hike,” as the administration calls it.
However, Unipec has continued to fuel the Russian economy by purchasing oil from the country, despite promises that it would purchase “no more Russian oil going forward.”
As recent as May, Unipec “significantly increased the number of hired tankers to ship a key crude from eastern Russia,” according to Bloomberg.
Daniel Turner, founder of Power the Future, blasted Biden’s move and told the Washington Free Beacon that it highlights the Biden family’s “relationship with China.”
“We were assured Biden was releasing this oil to America so it could be refined for gasoline to drive down prices at the pump. So right off the bat, they’re just lying to the American people,” Turner said. “What they’re saying they did and what they did are not remotely related.”
GOP Rep. Fallon on China SPR Sale: Congress Should Have Say on SPR Releases, ‘We Want to Get to the Bottom of’ Hunter’s Deals
On Thursday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “John Bachman Now,” Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX) reacted to the reported sale of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China by stating that the use of the SPR should require authorization from Congress so presidents can’t use it for political reasons, and arguing that the move is also “why we want to get to the bottom of” Hunter Biden’s foreign business deals.
Fallon stated, “Well, Joe Biden has proven that he puts America last and — unlike President Trump with his policies of putting America first. Our office, we filed H.R. 7996, John, to protect the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. And — it’s meant for a national emergency or if you have a natural disaster. So, our bill, if it was passed into law, would require an act of Congress to tap into it. It shouldn’t be used by fiat or by decree for political expediency.”
Host John Bachman then asked, “Do you think this has anything at all to do with Hunter Biden’s foreign business deals with China?”
Fallon responded, “Well, I hope not. Because that’s high crimes and misdemeanors, and that’s treason. And that’s why we want to get to the bottom of this.”

Ratcliffe: Biden Gets Advice from Former and Current Employees of ‘Collaborative’ with China BlackRock
On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” John Ratcliffe, who served as Director of National Intelligence under former President Donald Trump, argued that the Biden administration is “one of the worst offenders” when it comes to ignoring warnings from FBI Director Christopher Wray about the threat of China and part of this is due to Biden getting advice from people who worked for BlackRock, an investment firm that he says “has been more collaborative and complicit with the Chinese Communist Party, soft on China than anyone.” And that unless the Biden administration approaches China with the right mindset, “China’s going to continue to be aggressive and to bully and to be more forthright and move, not just in the Indo-Pacific, but around the world.”
Ratcliffe stated, “It’s like when you look out the passenger side window of your car, you see the words, ‘Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.’ And in this case, that’s China, and that’s what — the warning that Director Wray gave yesterday and that he’s been giving for years and that many of us have been giving. … China does intend to own the control points in the global marketplace and in geopolitics. They intend to dominate economically, technologically, militarily, and they are willing to spy and steal and lie and cheat their way to superiority. And the message yesterday was to businesses and universities that they need to get that. But one of the worst offenders, I think, as you pointed out, Bill, is the Biden administration. They are just — they’re not getting the message and they’re taking down many of the guardrails that were put up in place in the Trump administration to counter China’s aggression.”
He added, “[Y]ou have to look at who’s making the policy there. So, President Biden’s top economic adviser is Brian Deese. His top foreign policy adviser announced last week on China is Tom Donilon. Those are both BlackRock executives. BlackRock as an investment firm has been more collaborative and complicit with the Chinese Communist Party, soft on China than anyone. Those are the people that are making policy decisions…ending the DOJ China Initiative, and in response to China’s aggression just two weeks ago saying, Bill, that if we interfere with Taiwan, they will put us on a path to death and smash us to smithereens, the response from the Biden administration was, we need to consider easing tariffs. So, we’re sending the wrong message. The Biden administration from the beginning has gone back to this misconception that China is a strategic competitor. They are not. They are a lying, cheating, stealing competitor. They are a strategic adversary that intends to dominate us. And again, until that mindset takes hold in this administration, China’s going to continue to be aggressive and to bully and to be more forthright and move, not just in the Indo-Pacific, but around the world.”

Nat’l Economic Council Head Deese: Lifting Tariffs on China Fits with Defending ‘Liberal World Order’ – Must ‘Be Smarter’ on Fighting China
During an interview aired on Thursday’s edition of Bloomberg TV’s “Surveillance,” White House National Economic Council Director Brian Deese responded to a question on how the administration can maintain that high gas prices are part of defending the post-World War II “liberal world order” while also weighing removing tariffs on the authoritarian Chinese Communist Party that the Biden administration has accused of committing genocide by saying that we have “to be smarter” about how we are “tougher and clearer” on China’s human rights abuses and non-market practices and President Donald Trump’s China trade policy didn’t really help the economy.
Deese began by explaining his comments on the liberal world order by stating, “That’s a concept that Republicans and Democrats have embraced for years and it’s about democracy. It’s about the democracy and the democratic tradition that grew out of World War II and that has served our national security interests and economic interests well. And standing up for democracy is something that this president feels strongly about. And so, we are going to fight to bring prices down. We’re going to fight to get increased oil supply on the market. But what we’re not going to do is to suggest that the only way to do that is to actually step away from the Ukrainian people, to step away from fighting for democracy and everything that that [unintelligible].”
Co-host Jonathan Ferro then asked, “If standing up for democracy is truly paramount, and you’ve quite clearly just suggested it is, why is this administration considering removing tariffs on a Chinese Communist Party which is anything but a democracy, and is also a government that you’ve accused of genocide? Why is that a consideration? And how does that reconcile with this view that this is about standing up for democracy?”
Deese responded, “Our economic policy should be about promoting economic security for American workers, American businesses, and American families. And so, we have to look at everything through that lens. In the prior administration, they took an approach to escalating trade tensions and a trade war with China that ultimately didn’t serve that purpose. It didn’t help our farmers and our ranchers. It didn’t help many sectors of the economy. So, President Biden came into office committed to the proposition that we need to get tough on China. There are places where we need to be tougher and clearer about their non-market practices, about their human rights abuses. But we also need to be smarter about how to do this as well.”
Ferro then asked, “Why is that smarter? … You’ve accused the Chinese Communist Party of genocide. You’re saying that what is paramount here is defending democracy and that defending the liberal world order is more important than the pain that people feel at the pump. And ultimately, this administration’s considering removing tariffs. I wasn’t convinced by the last answer. I don’t think many others will [be] either. This is an awkward moment, I know. But I really need to understand from you why it makes sense for this administration to consider removing tariffs on a country that you’re accusing of genocide.”
Deese answered, “First of all, I want to — you mischaracterized my position so I want to clarify. Bringing prices down for the American people is the president’s top priority. He’s focused on it every day, and it’s because he understands the pain that people are feeling at the gas pump and around the kitchen table. At the same time, he does not believe that the way to do that would be to step back from our democratic values or to step back from protecting the Ukrainians against the invasion from Vladimir Putin. He does not believe that that is an acceptable or an appropriate choice. So, given that, our focus is on how can we actually advance the ball. And you’re seeing the president in action right now, doing that. The actions that he’s taken around oil supply. The actions that he has taken around refineries. The actions that he is calling for around tax reductions, they all would make a difference.”

FBI: China Looking to ‘Insulate’ Economy From Sanctions That Would Follow Invasion of Taiwan
(CNSNews.com) – The Chinese government is “drawing all sorts of lessons” from the sanctions imposed on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, and looking for ways to “insulate their economy” should Beijing face similar measures over any move on Taiwan, FBI Director Christopher Wray said on Wednesday.
“We’ve seen China looking for ways to insulate their economy against potential sanctions, trying to cushion themselves from harm if they do anything to draw the ire of the international community,” he said in a speech to business leaders in London.
“In our world, we call that kind of behavior a clue.”
If China did try to forcibly take over Taiwan, Wray said, “it would represent one of the most horrific business disruptions the world has ever seen.”
Wray noted that a recent Yale study assessed that Western businesses had lost $59 billion in Russia because of the conflict in Ukraine, and added that those losses are growing by the day.
“And if China does invade Taiwan, we could see the same thing again, at a much larger scale,” he said.
“Just as in Russia, Western investments built over years could become hostages, capital stranded, supply chains and relationships disrupted. Companies are caught between sanctions and Chinese law forbidding compliance with them.”
Wray’s remarks on Taiwan came in a broader speech on Chinese government spying on a massive scale, targeting Western businesses, technologies, and intellectual property.
He was joined by Ken McCallum, the director-general of Britain’s domestic intelligence agency, MI5. McCallum said the two agencies had worked closely since both were established more than a century ago, but this was the first time their leaders had ever shared a public platform.
“We’re doing so to send the clearest signal we can on a massive shared challenge – China,” the MI5 chief said.
Wray said that while both the FBI and MI5 were “laser-focused” on the threat posed by Russia, “I want to talk today about another complex, enduring, and pervasive danger to the kinds of innovative businesses we have here in the audience: We consistently see that it’s the Chinese government that poses the biggest long-term threat to our economic and national security.”
“And by ‘our,’ I mean both of our nations, along with our allies in Europe and elsewhere.”
Wray warned the business leaders in the audience that Beijing “is set on stealing your technology – whatever it is that makes your industry tick – and using it to undercut your business and dominate your market.”
“And they’re set on using every tool at their disposal to do it,” he said, citing Chinese government intelligence operations to steal trade secrets, a massively resourced hacking program, and schemes to create business partnerships that “position their proxies to steal valuable technology.”
After the speech, Wray told reporters that he has had no reason to think that China’s “interest in Taiwan has abated in any fashion.”
But he expressed the hope that Beijing would learn lessons about what happens “when you overplay your hand,” which is what he indicated Russia had done in the case of Ukraine – “driving like-minded countries together, in a way that is pretty historic.”
Beijing views Taiwan not as a sovereign country but as a rebellious province whose return to the “one China” is inevitable, and has not ruled out the use of force if necessary to achieve that end.
The carefully-calibrated U.S. policy is that the status quo should not be altered by force, while U.S. law requires the federal government to provide Taiwan with the military means to defend itself against unprovoked aggression.
‘Develop the capability to attack Taiwan’
Tensions in the Taiwan Strait have risen to a higher degree than usual since last fall, with China significantly stepping up sorties of warplanes, including fighter jets and strategic bombers, in the skies near the island.
Rhetoric has also become more heated. President Biden raised eyebrows when, during a visit to the region in May, he replied “yes” when asked if he was willing “to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan” if China invaded. (The White House said afterwards Biden was not outlining a change in policy regarding Taiwan.)
Last month China’s defense minister warned – at an international security conference attended by Defense Secretary Gen. Lloyd Austin – that China “will fight to the very end” any attempt to “split Taiwan from China.”
Earlier this week, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said the U.S. was watching the situation “very closely,” but that there were no indications or warnings that a Chinese attack on Taiwan was imminent.
“In terms of capability I think China clearly is developing a capability,” Milley told the BBC.
“President Xi [Jinping] has mentioned that in public forums, he’s mentioned it in speeches, that he has challenged the PLA [People's Liberation Army] to develop the capability to attack Taiwan at some point in time,” he said.
“And whether they would or not, though, is a political choice, a policy choice. And that will be based off of how the Chinese view the cost-risk benefit at the time.”
Secretary of State Antony Blinken will meet his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on the sidelines of a G20 ministerial in Bali this week.
Asked Wednesday if Taiwan will be discussed in the Blinken-Wang meeting, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian did not answer directly, but said that the Taiwan question “has always been the most important and sensitive issue in China-U.S. relations.
He demanded that the U.S. abide by its previous commitments regarding Taiwan, “stop encouraging and supporting Taiwan independence, and take concrete actions to safeguard the political foundation of China-U.S. relations.”

Trump: Joe Biden Cutting U.S. Tariffs ‘Would Be Greatest Gift’ to China
Former President Trump says the potential for President Joe Biden to cut United States tariffs on China “would be the greatest gift that China could ever receive.”
For months, as Breitbart News has reported, Biden, along with his top globalists, has suggested that they may soon cut billions of dollars worth of U.S. tariffs on China-made products that were first imposed by Trump.
Most recently, reports have circulated that Biden is considering eliminating U.S. tariffs on $10 billion worth of China-made products like bicycles. This would come even as economists have admitted that cutting U.S. tariffs will have little-to-no impact on inflation.
In a statement on Tuesday, Trump blasted a potential move as a “terrible mistake” that would reward multinational corporations for outsourcing American manufacturing to China:
Believe it or not, it is looking more and more like the United States is getting ready to remove the tariffs on China. This would be a terrible mistake. These tariffs have brought many billions of dollars to our country, and made affected businesses, such as steel, viable again in the United States.
Doing this would be the greatest gift that China could ever receive. Our farmers alone got $28 billion as a gift from me, that came directly out of the tariffs because of the way they were abused by China. Taking these Tariffs off would be a clear signal that the United States is weak, ineffective, and doing business as usual.
Trump also called out Senate Republicans and Democrats who have lobbied Biden for months to cut U.S. tariffs on China. Sens. Mike Crapo (R-ID) and Todd Young (R-IN) have both sought to reduce the tariffs, as well as Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA).
“Certain Senators are fighting hard to get this done, even saying such ridiculous things as it ’causes inflation,'” Trump said. “Those Senators should be questioned as to their real motives!”
Analysis by Breitbart News has shown that tariffs do not raise prices on Americans. The latest research from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) notes that there is no connection between U.S. tariffs and current inflation.
In June, the United Steelworkers (USW) wrote to Biden, pleading with him not to cut U.S. tariffs on China:
Too many U.S. companies have failed to take needed actions to address the threat posed by Chinese Communist Party policies. Many continue to outsource production, and research and development, undermining U.S. competitiveness and national security interests. They have failed to respond to the signals clearly and continuously sent by the CCP that it is not interested in competing, but in winning and dominating key industries. Our government must act in the national interest to strengthen our economy for the future. [Emphasis added]
From 2001 to 2018, U.S. free trade with China eliminated 3.7 million American jobs from the economy — 2.8 million of which were lost in American manufacturing. During that same period, at least 50,000 American manufacturing plants closed down.
Those massive job losses have coincided with a booming U.S.-China trade deficit. In 1985, before China entered the WTO, the U.S. trade deficit with China totaled $6 billion. In 2019, the U.S. trade deficit with China totaled more than $345 billion.
Meanwhile, a study from 2019 found that permanent U.S. tariffs of 25 percent on all Chinese imports would create more than a million American jobs in five years. American manufacturing is vital to the U.S. economy, as every manufacturing job supports an additional 7.4 American jobs in other industries.

President Joe Biden is traveling to Ohio on Wednesday, even as his administration is preparing to lift some of the economic tariffs on China.
The president is expected to journey to Cleveland to talk abo
Congressman Tim Ryan (D-OH), who is running for Senate in Ohio, lambasted the president in June for even considering the idea.
“Letting up on a communist government that’s made it their decades-long mission to undercut American manufacturing isn’t how we bring costs down,” he wrote on social media. “It’s these kinds of irresponsible trade policies that got us here in the first place.”
Ryan, however, previously opposed Trump’s tariffs on China. In 2018, he criticized Trump for inflicting “maximum damage on the U.S. economy for minimal gain.”
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday no decision had been made on tariffs, but criticized former President Donald Trump for imposing tariffs on China “in such a haphazard way, in a non-strategic way.”
“We are — want to make sure that we have the right approach,” she said.
Trump lambasted Biden in a statement about his plan to lift tariffs, calling the idea the “greatest gift” to China.
“Taking these Tariffs off would be a clear signal that the United States is weak, ineffective, and doing business as usual,” he wrote.

Schweizer: ‘It’s Going to Be Business as Usual’ for Hunter’s Dealings
Joe Biden, the corrupt, unaccomplished 47-year career politician, with a reputation of having been a proud segregationist, an unabashed plagiarist and liar, a resolute tale-teller, and a serial flip-flopper, is pretending to head up a radical social-democratic ticket for President of the United States that includes as his running mate the ambitious, disagreeable junior senator from California: Kamala Harris.
Joe Biden didn’t do anything wrong? A time-honored method of taking bribes is having them paid to a family member, usually in exchange for nominal or nonexistent services. It is comical to watch “reporters” pretend not to understand this.
MONICA SHOWALTER
There’s also the little problem of Hillary’s incredible corruption (making her and Biden birds of a feather). And of course, the fact that Hillary’s unsecure server damaged national security in a way that would have seen an ordinary, politically unconnected person spend the rest of her life in prison—which, not coincidentally, is where Papa Joe belongs for using his debauched son Hunter as the bagman for decades of anti-American corruption
ANDREA WIDBURG
“Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton Foundation and the Obama book and television deals. Then there is the Biden family corruption, followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the Warren and Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government corruption. BRIAN C JOONDEPH
What’s really baffling is Hunter’s success with women. Despite being a total loser with a terrible drug habit and some weird sexual perversions, Hunter managed to seduce his brother’s widow, her sister, a stripper, and the woman he married, all over the course of four years. It’s enough to make one think that Hunter’s charm had less to do with the man himself and more with the benefits flowing from the Biden family cartel. ANDREA WIDBERG
As a senator, Biden vigorously voted for several similar bills. In short, based on his voting record, Joe Biden is not (and never was) a champion of disadvantaged Americans, unless you consider multi-billion-dollar credit card corporations and millionaires “disadvantaged.” Chris Talgo
Nancy Pelosi, a horrid woman equally as without heart and soul, on Tuesday refused to have the names of the thirteen soldiers killed in Kabul read out on the floor of the House. That should permanently indict her for being the wicked witch she is. She is more devious, more calculating than the irresponsible Biden but every bit as beyond redemption as he is. She will do anything to try to convince the American people, for whom she has only contempt, that whatever she and her party do is righteous no matter how loathsome and totalitarian. PATRICIA McCARTHY
Biden lied about his undergraduate degree and his majors, lied about his rank in law school, lied aboutscholarships and educational aid he had received, lied about his stance toward the Vietnam war while in college, lied about his plagiarism of other politician's writings and speeches, lied about the circumstances around his first wife's fatal accident, lied about how he met his second and current wife, and lied about the affair they were having when they were both married. MARK CHRISTIAN
Most recently and dramatically, Biden lied about his knowledge of his son's shady dealings, lied about his own involvement in corruption and ribery, and lied about his current presidential agenda and what he wants to implement in regards to energy, fracking, court-packing, health care, education, and COVID among other issues.

Nolte: Joe Biden Ships U.S. Oil Reserves to Foreign Countries
Because he hates Americans, President Joe Biden is shipping much-needed American oil to foreign countries, including… China.
The whole idea of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), which is owned by the U.S. government, specifically the U.S. Department of Energy, is to hold on to about 700 million barrels of oil in the event of an emergency or disruption.
But now, because His Fraudulency Joe Biden has closed pipelines, killed oil and gas leases, refused to allow refining to expand, and has gone to war with affordable energy; the SPR is releasing about a million gallons a day into the U.S. economy.
Instead of doing something permanent and useful; instead of solving the crisis he created (that put a gallon of gas over five dollars), he’s looking to steady gas prices his collapsing poll numbers by squandering our reserves.
That’s bad enough, so bad the SPR is now at its lowest level since 1986.
Well, when it comes to punishing the American people he so obviously loathes, that’s bad enough is never enough for Biden. Nope. He always finds a way to take his contempt for America and Americans a step further—which he has. Get this:
More than 5 million barrels of oil that were part of a historic U.S. emergency reserves release to lower domestic fuel prices were exported to Europe and Asia last month, according to data and sources, even as U.S. gasoline and diesel prices hit record highs.
[…]
The fourth-largest U.S. oil refiner, Phillips 66, shipped about 470,000 barrels of sour crude from the Big Hill SPR storage site in Texas to Trieste, Italy, according to U.S. Customs data. Trieste is home to a pipeline that sends oil to refineries in central Europe.
Atlantic Trading & Marketing (ATMI), an arm of French oil major TotalEnergies, exported 2 cargoes of 560,000 barrels each, the data showed.
Oh, and, “Cargoes of SPR crude were also headed to the Netherlands and to a Reliance refinery in India, an industry source said. A third cargo headed to China, another source said.”
China.
China!
We’re sending our oil to the country that sent us the coronavirus!
Why?
Why would Biden do something like this?
Why would Biden okay this when 1) this oil is about protecting America’s national security, and 2) this oil can help bring down American gas prices?
The asking of the question gives you the answer. The answer is right there in the words “America” and “Americans.”
Joe Biden and the Democrats hate America and Americans. They see us as the problem. You see, we drive cars and live in big houses. So do they, but they see themselves as the elite, as overseers, and our overseers don’t want the rest of us to be comfortable or independent. They want us needy and dependent because that’s where they derive their fascist power from.
Joe Biden and the Democrats will always put foreign countries and foreigners above Americans, especially the millions of illegal aliens they hope to replace us with.
They hate us. They hate everything about us. We’re too self-sufficient, we just want to be left alone, we’re about to vote a buttload of them out of office, and when it comes to their sick, perverted, we-want-to-have-sex-with-your-children trans agenda, we are not buying it.
So, Joe Biden and Democrats are punishing us for the sin of wanting to be left alone and wanting our children to be left alone. They are deliberately increasing gas prices to hurt us, and one way to increase gas prices is to ship our oil to foreign countries. Another way is to flood the country with millions of illegals who consume oil (and housing), creating more scarcity and higher prices.

Biden State Department Taps Beijing Bull To Run China Shop
Tom Donilon has promoted investments in China, opposed tariffs on regime
Tom Donilon / APChuck Ross •
The Biden administration's pick to advise the State Department on "strategic competition" with Beijing chairs an investment think tank that urged Americans to triple their investments in China.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday selected BlackRock Investment Institute chairman and Obama administration national security adviser Tom Donilon to co-chair the Foreign Affairs Policy Board amid the State Department’s pivot to China.
Donilon’s work at BlackRock could pose a conflict of interest for the board, which provides "advice, feedback, and perspectives" to senior State Department officials on foreign policy matters. Under his leadership, the Investment Institute has urged investors to dramatically increase their stakes in Chinese companies. What’s more, BlackRock views "strategic competition" with China as bad for the company’s bottom line.
"Strategic competition between the U.S. and China and resulting tensions have also contributed to uncertainty in the geopolitical and regulatory landscapes," reads BlackRock’s most recent annual report. The firm listed U.S.-Chinese competition as a factor that could hurt its revenue and profit. BlackRock opened a mutual fund in China in September, making it the first American firm approved to sell financial products there.
BlackRock’s Chinese entanglements have raised concerns that the company is undermining the United States. The company has come under fire for investing in sanctioned Chinese companies, including surveillance giant Hikvision. Even progressive megadonor George Soros called BlackRock’s investments in China a "tragic mistake" that would damage U.S. national security interests.
Donilon has sided with China in the debate over tariffs imposed during the Trump administration. He chided government officials in 2019 about the tariffs and inaccurately warned that they would cause a global recession.
"Future generations of Americans will judge today’s leaders harshly for squandering this moment," Donilon wrote in an article touted by China Daily, a mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party.
Tariffs "are hurting U.S. businesses, consumers, and farmers," Donilon wrote. "They are alienating U.S. allies. And, analysts warn, they are increasing the risk of a global recession."
The Foreign Affairs Policy Board plays a crucial role at the State Department. The department says the board is "necessary to supplement the advice and support the Secretary gets from the Department" on a broad range of international issues. Its meetings are closed to the public due to "discussions on sensitive, and often classified, topics and materials."
Tariffs are likely to be an area of focus for the board, as will the administration’s position on China’s human rights record and increased military activity in the Pacific and South China Sea. Blinken has accused Beijing of waging genocide against Muslims in western China. Other officials, including climate envoy John Kerry, have refused to confront Chinese leaders on the topic for fear of hurting cooperative efforts on climate change.
Donilon, whom Blinken has called his "dear friend," is the latest in a string of Biden allies to land an influential advisory post. The State Department picked Dominic Ng, the chairman of East West Bank, to represent the United States on the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation’s Business Advisory Council. Ng, a major Biden donor, has criticized U.S. foreign policy toward China and served on organizations linked to the Chinese Communist Party.
Biden selected his longtime friend, Chris Dodd, to serve as special adviser for the Summit of the Americas. Dodd signed an ethics agreement because his lobbying firm represents some of the countries represented at the summit. Biden appointed another major donor, Joe Kiani, to serve on the Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
Neither the State Department nor BlackRock returned requests for comment.
Biden Whistleblower Emails: Chinese Energy Company Gave $5 Million Non-Secured, Forgivable Loan to Biden ‘Family'
A 2017 email from a top official with a Chinese energy firm, provided by a whistleblower to U.S. Senate investigators, demonstrates the terms of an agreement included officials with the firm giving a $5 million non-secured, forgivable loan to the Biden “family.”
The email, sent to SinoHawk Holdings CEO Tony Bobulinski, shows how a top official with CEFC Energy — a now bankrupt and defunct energy company based in China — offered to wire $10 million into an account to begin operations, $5 million worth of which would be a non-secured forgivable loan to the “BD Family,” which means the Biden family.
Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer spent four and a half hours with Bobulinski before he went public, and discussed these communications in particular regarding this loan during that meeting. According to Schweizer, the Chinese energy company officials were going to put $10 million into an account, $5 million of which was designated as a non-secured forgivable loan to the Biden family. Schweizer said this would constitute significant leverage the Chinese energy company officials would have over the Biden family.
“In a way, this would give CEFC greater leverage over the Biden family than simply giving them a gift or bribe because if they were dissatisfied with what the Bidens were doing they could ask for their money back,” Schweizer told Breitbart News when asked about the arrangement upon the public release of Bobulinski’s emails.
The email also says that $5 million loan is “interest free” and asks how that $5 million would be used, and if used up, whether CEFC should lend more money to the Biden family.
This email further fleshes out details surrounding the controversial arrangement first uncovered by U.S. Senate investigators in a recent Homeland Security Committee report, and later further uncovered by a bombshell New York Post story on emails retrieved from Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Bobulinski’s new emails add to the story by including terms of the financial arrangement behind the wire transfer that CEFC officials made into a firm aligned with the Bidens that then made significant payments to Hunter Biden’s own firm, a wire transfer and financial payments that were first exposed by Senate investigators. The New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop emails added more information to this questionable arrangement by revealing emails that showed how Biden associates intended to divvy up the cash from the Chinese investors.
These new emails from Bobulinski add more to the picture by showing that the agreement was that this payment would serve as a non-secured forgivable loan, and that the CEFC side of the arrangement understood that the then-forthcoming payment — which Senate investigators confirmed was made just two weeks after these discussions —would serve as a loan to the Biden “family,” not just to Hunter Biden.
An e-mail to Hunter Biden's partner from a top Chinese official on July 26, 2017 shows the Chinese energy company CEFC proposed a $5 million "interest-free" loan to the Biden family "based on their trust on [Biden] family[.]"

This email is part of a broader trove of documents that Bobulinski provided to U.S. Senate investigators with the Homeland Security and Finance Committees, and also to media outlets including Breitbart News. Other media outlets are reporting on the emails as well.
According to the Senate Homeland Security Committee’s recent report, $5 million was wired directly into the account in question two weeks later — and then Hunter Biden’s firm spent the next year wiring $4.8 million from there into his own firm’s account:
Less than two weeks later, on August 8, 2017, $5 million was wired from a CEFC-affiliated investment vehicle to a Delaware LLC, which spent the next year transfering nearly $4.8 million directly to Hunter Biden's firm, according to Senate investigators. https://t.co/Byyo3FNp3T pic.twitter.com/8XHHVTuFml

CEFC was a controversial energy company, as Breitbart News has reported. “The owner of CEFC, Ye Jianming, was among the most ambitious of Chinese tycoons before his business empire collapsed and he vanished into the Communist nation’s shadowy prison system,” Breitbart News’ John Hayward wrote earlier this week. “Ye was once portrayed as one of China’s greatest rags-to-riches stories, a humble park ranger who began making successful oil investments in his twenties and became a billionaire before he hit 40. He was marketed as an affable businessman foreigners could feel safe making deals with, well-connected but not an obvious tool of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).”
CEFC is at the center of the burgeoning Biden scandal. When Bobulinski went public on Wednesday night, he was the first source on one of the emails that the New York Post published from Hunter Biden’s laptop retrieved from a computer repair store in Delaware. One such story that the Post published was about Hunter Biden and the Biden family seeking a deal with CEFC, and in those original emails James Gilliar of J2cR emails Bobulinski about “remunerations packages” related to the CEFC deal.
“I am the recipient of the email published seven days ago by the New York Post which showed a copy to Hunter Biden and Rob Walker. That email is genuine,” Bobulinski said in his statement issued publicly.
Bobulinski had been, sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News, cooperating with the Wall Street Journal for an investigation it is working on. But since the Journal has not published its story several days later after its staff had indicated it would, Bobulinski decided to go public on his own on Wednesday night — and made clear he is cooperating with Senate investigators.
In the original email, published by the New York Post, from Hunter Biden’s laptop, Gilliar references a breakdown of how money acquired would be distributed throughout the firm of which Bobulinski was CEO. The email says at one point that “10 held by H for the big guy.”
In his nearly 700-word statement, Bobulinski confirmed the authenticity of that email and further explained its meeting including that “the big guy” was a reference to former Vice President Joe Biden, the 2020 Democrat presidential nominee, himself.
“What I am outlining is fact. I know it is fact because I lived it. I am the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings which was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family,” Bobulinski said. “I was brought into the company to be the CEO by James Gilliar and Hunter Biden. The reference to ‘the big guy’ in the much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe Biden. The other ‘JB’ referenced in that email is Jim Biden, Joe’s brother. Hunter Biden called his dad ‘the Big Guy’ or ‘my Chairman,’ and frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing. I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business. I’ve seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it wasn’t just Hunter’s business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line.”
Hunter Biden’s Firms Scored Reportedly Hundreds of Millions from Russians, Chinese, and Kazakhs

Hunter Biden, son of 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden, has come under scrutiny for his business links to Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma while his father was vice president.
Now, a new book by author Peter Schweizer reveals Hunter Biden forged other business deals with individuals and entities tied with the governments of Russia, China, and Kazakhstan, that reportedly scored him hundreds of millions of dollars.
The book, titled Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite., lays out how Hunter Biden and his business partners, in addition to his numerous Rosemont-branded entities and ventures, was deeply involved with an entity called the Burnham Financial Group.
Hunter and his business partner, Devon Archer, used Burnham to make foreign deals with governments and oligarchs, according to a copy of the book viewed by Breitbart News.
One of those oligarchs included Nurlan Abduov, the associate of another Kazakh oligarch, Kenges Rakishev. Rakishev is the son-in-law of the former vice prime minister of Kazakhstan, Imangali Tasmagambetov. Tasmagamvetov was also formerly the defense minister, and is now the Kazakh ambassador to Russia.
According to the book, an account Hunter regularly received funds from showed money arriving from a firm run by Rakishev in 2014:
A Morgan Stanley investment account from which Hunter regularly received funds shows money arriving from mysterious
sources around the world. There is a $142,300 deposit in April 2014 from Kazakh oligarch–controlled Novatus Holdings. Kenges
Rakishev, whose father-in-law is the former vice prime minister of Kazakhstan and a close ally of Kazakh dictator Nursultan
Nazarbayev, runs the offshore firm.
While Burnham received funds from Kazakh oligarchs, Archer acted as a backchannel between Kazakhstan to then-Secretary of State John Kerry, according to the book. (Kerry’s stepson Chris Heinz was a business partner with Biden and Archer in some of their ventures).
In a July 11, 2013, email, Kerry’s chief of staff David Wade wrote to Archer:
Devon: understand you spoke to the Secretary re having him call [Kazakh] Foreign Minister Idrisov today, can you let me know topics Idrisov wants to talk about/any requests he’ll have of the boss, so we can get paper prepared for a call. Hopefully, the situation on the home front will leave him time to do it.
Burnham also had business deals with two mysterious Chinese companies — Kirin Global Enterprses Limited and Harvest Global Investors, according to the book.
Kirin Global Enterprise Limited was an investment vehicle run by Xiangyao (or Yaojun) “Larry” Liu and Guo Jianfeng, according to Schweizer. “Very little is known about Kirin or its two principals, other than the fact that they invest heavily in mainland Chinese real estate,” he writes. Harvest Global Investors was a Chinese investment firm linked to the government in Beijing.
Burnham also had a financial relationship with Russian Oligarch Yelena Baturina, a billionaire with extensive political connections in Moscow and links to Russian organized crime, according to Schweizer. Archer said Baturina invested $200 million into “various investment funds” with which he was involved.
Burnham also got wrapped up in a $60 million fraudulent bond scheme to rip off union pension funds and the poorest Indian tribe in America, the Oglala Sioux, Schweizer writes.
In May 2016, Archer was arrested in New York and charged with “orchestrating a scheme to defraud investors and a Native American tribal entity of tens of millions of dollars.”
Some of the targeted were government employee or labor union organizations that had supported Joe Biden in the past. Biden has long described himself as a “union man.”
Although Hunter Biden was not charged, Schweizer writes, “his fingerprints were all over Burnham.” The legitimacy that his name and political status as the vice president’s son lent to Burnham was brought up repeatedly during the trial, he writes.
That status was used as a means of both recruiting pension money into the scheme and alleviating investors’ concerns, he writes. In an August 2014 email, Jason Galanis, who was convicted in the bond scheme, agreed that Burnham had “value beyond capital” because of their political connections.
Hunter Biden had an office at Burnham’s New York City offices on Fifty-Seventh Street, and during the trial, numerous witnesses came forward describing Hunter’s involvement with the firm, according to the book.
Schweizer writes these deals have long been a pattern with the Biden family, to include Hunter Biden:
With the election of his father as vice president, Hunter Biden launched businesses fused to his father’s power that led him to lucrative deals with a rogue’s gallery of governments and oligarchs around the world. Sometimes he would hitch a prominent ride with his father aboard Air Force Two to visit a country where he was courting business. Other times, the deals would be done more discreetly. Always they involved foreign entities that appeared to be seeking something from his father. Often, the countries in question, including Ukraine, Russia, and Kazakhstan, had highly corrupt political cultures.
In short, Hunter Biden was not cutting business deals in Japan or Great Britain, where disclosure rules and corporate governance might require greater scrutiny. These were deals in the truly dark corners of the world.

Will America Become China's Vassal?
The dire cost of Biden taking the White House.
Fri Dec 11, 2020
Gary GindlerOn election day, Fox News betrayed President Trump, and this has puzzled many patriots. The confusion vanishes if one assumes that this episode could be just a small part of the process of China's colonization of America. China has already colonized some countries in the Pacific region, South America, and Africa for all practical purposes. Add to this list the de facto colonization of northern Italy and a large part of Russia in Eastern Siberia. Also, communist China greedily devours real estate and businesses in the United States.
Therefore, the 2020 presidential election should be seen as an integral part of this process.
From this perspective, Trump and Biden symbolize two diametrically opposed approaches to America's future. If Biden made it clear that he was ready to swear allegiance to the new master, Trump is fighting for America's economic and political independence. Biden is helped not only by the so-called "Democrats" and numerous anti-Trump Republicans but also by the world socialist movement.
The current leading force of palace intrigues in China is Xi Jinping's group of supporters of Soviet methods: "Xi Jinping belongs to the faction long forgotten in China, which at one time was aligned with the Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin." When this group came to power, a wave of repressions swept across China, like two drops of water similar to Stalin's repressions of the 30s and 40s. China's economic policy is generally reminiscent of the Soviet one. For example, foreign companies' penetration into Chinese markets is only possible if joint ventures with China are established, and all the know-how is transferred to the Chinese side.
Donald Trump, of course, is fighting for the presidency. Nevertheless, for Trump, the presidency is only part of a more significant challenge. Trump seeks not only to win these elections but to destroy once and for all the leftist movements in general. Obviously, it includes China and the so-called "Democrats." That is a much more important goal, and it looks like Trump would prevail. What if Trump loses? In this case, all his actions will be aimed at ensuring that by the next electoral cycle – in 2022 – no one in his or her right mind would even think to vote for (D)ecadence.
Trump must win Americans' sympathy to achieve his goal. There is no doubt that the Trump team is acting in this direction. Numerous hearings in state legislatures, sensational statements by witnesses, mathematical and computer experts, and court hearings, of course, show a horrid picture of election fraud by "Democrats."
Election Day has been transformed into Election Months; however, more and more Americans are convinced of the "Democrat" fraud every day. More and more Americans switch to alternative sources of information every day and thus deprive propaganda outlets of their material base. Every day more and more Americans are beginning to understand which Republican is an anti-Trumpist rooting for China and which one is a Conservative. Finally, more and more Americans are beginning to guess where the command center that issued an order to stop counting votes simultaneously in six battleground states at 2 a.m. on November 4, 2020, was located.
Trump understands that America, unfortunately, has been dozing for the past hundred years. While we were sleeping, our Constitution was undermined. We have lost control of the Washington swamp dwellers because they prefer to be controlled by Chinese interests rather than American citizens. We just lived our lives and watched football until the international leftist movement attempted to steal our America out from under our noses.
Trump's strategic goal is an America, which is not sleeping at the wheel.
There is now every sign that America's sleeping giant is awake. Thanks to China – the elections they most likely helped to steal could be the Chinese equivalent of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Thanks to the "Democratic" fraudsters and their leader Joe "Yuan" Biden – the 2020 elections were the last straw.
In 1776 we did not want to be vassals to the British king, and in 2020 we do not want to be vassals of the communists.
China communists and their distant ideological cousins on the Left – the American "Democrats," of course, went for broke. They have in their arsenal not only economic and political methods. A very extraordinary direction of China's expansion is that the communists began to transfer their enterprises to the United States, considering our country as one of the offshore destinations for money laundering. Based on our knowledge of communists' methods, the most probable course of action by the Politburo of the Communist Party of China would be outright buying of politicians. It seems they calculated (quite correctly) that they need to buy a limited number – no more than a few thousand – key politicians worldwide to carry out their expansion plans. This path seems to them to be quicker and economically more feasible.
The massive importation of drugs into the United States was one of the main activities of the Soviet KGB, for which numerous drug cartels were created (have you ever wondered why most drug cartels are in countries with strong left-wing traditions?) It was the Chinese comrades who did what the Soviet comrades could not achieve – flood America with fentanyl.
China's espionage has reached a level that the Soviet KGB could only dream of. Under Bush and Obama, China's cyber attacks, like Operation Titan Rain, were incredibly successful. Consider the 2013 attack, when China took over the personal files of 21 million US government employees. China uses widespread blackmail and bribes to lobby her interests in Washington.
In 2020, communist China used artificial intelligence algorithms to identify Americans who could participate in the Antifa and Black Lives Matter pogroms (of course, the Chinese communists favor only left-wing organizations). Once identified, these Americans were sent instructions (including well-crafted videos) on organizing riots via social media. As we now know, American "Democrats" enthusiastically participated in this orgy. Finally, everybody has noticed that numerous concentration camps sprung up worldwide as a precursor to CoronaGulag.
Trump has swung not only at the Chinese communists, not only at the "Democrats" as traditional rivals of the American conservatives, and not only at the Washington swamp. All the above suggests that Donald Trump is an historical figure on a much larger scale than it seems at first glance.
Trump is fighting a global communist Utopia, also known as the "Global Gulag."
The "Democrats," if they do win this battle with China's help, will find themselves in a completely new, redefined reality – the majority of the country's population will regard them as usurpers, deceitful and dishonest people. If an infirm old marionette settles in the White House, it will be a classic Pyrrhic victory, where winning a battle leads to losing the war.
Donald Trump has been compared with Winston Churchill more than once, and these comparisons, of course, have a good reason. They are based on the similarity of the circumstances these leaders had to face. Churchill, too, found himself in a situation where he and his country were single-handedly fighting both German Socialists' horde and the numerous National Socialism and International Socialism supporters among the British establishment.
If the socialists come to power despite Trump's actual landslide victory, then the political suicide of the "Democrats" will enter the final phase. Moreover, the American patriots who feel down in the dumps should remember one of the quotes commonly attributed to Churchill: "Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm."

Bidens of all sorts are under federal investigation for tax evasion, money-laundering, and unregistered agent foreign ties, as this Politico report citing Hunter notes.
Biden, the frontrunner among 2020 Democrats, often touts his
middle-class bonafides on the campaign trail. Although Biden did
not become a multi-millionaire until he left the White House in
2017, the same cannot be said of his family. In fact, several
members of the Biden clan became immensely wealthy over the
span of the former vice president’s 40-year political career.
HARIS ALIC
The fact that Hunter's market value was derived from his
father's position seemed to be a source of resentment for
the younger Biden, even as he continued to cash in on the
name. Hunter complained in texts to his daughter that he
had financially supported the Biden clan for three decades
and that "pop" takes a cut of "half [my] salary." Financial
records and correspondence reported on by Devine
indicate that money from Hunter's business accounts was
used to cover Joe's AT&T bill and home maintenance
expenses and that a portion of at least one major China
deal was earmarked for the elder Biden. Alana Goodman

NATIONAL SECURITY
Western governments confront China-Russia security threats — but US business won’t. The United States and NATO are striving to halt Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggressive campaign to reintegrate former Soviet-dominated nations under Moscow’s control.
HOMELAND SECURITY
Oath Keepers claimed to be a veteran support group but is a dangerous militia, former member tells Jan. 6 panel. Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes claimed to be running a veteran support group but in reality was running a dangerous militia and aspired to be a paramilitary leader, a former member testified Tuesday to a House panel investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
CHINA THREAT
Marines, Australians hone logistics skills they’ll need to deploy from down under. A three-week exercise in northern Australia is testing U.S. and Australian forces’ ability to move troops and equipment across hundreds of miles in the event of a regional crisis or humanitarian disaster.
B-2s deploy to Australia for Bomber Task Force mission. A pair of B-2 bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., arrived in Australia on July 10, starting a new bomber task force mission in the Indo-Pacific just days after the Air Force completed its last one.
RUSSIA THREAT
Ukraine claims arms depot attack in occupied Kherson with Himars rockets. Ukraine’s military says it has destroyed a Russian ammunition depot in the southern city of Nova Kakhovka, killing dozens of soldiers, in an attack apparently involving US-supplied missiles.
Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 140. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has not commented on a Russian-backed official’s claim that a Ukrainian strike on Nova Kakhovka, in Russian-occupied southern Ukraine, killed at least seven people, including civilians, and wounded dozens more.
Belarus launches military drills on border with Ukraine, tests troop readiness. Belarus announced Tuesday it launched military drills along its shared border with Ukraine in an effort to assess the readiness of its territorial troops, Belarusian defense officials said.
Russia seems to be running low on drones. The Russian military wrote the book on tactical drones in 2014. Now its leaders are begging foreign partners and regional officials to help replace downed UAVs.
IRAN THREAT
Russia reaches out to Iran for help in countering West. President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia will visit Tehran next week, along with the leader of Turkey. But competition in oil markets reflects a complicated new landscape.
INTERNATIONAL SECURITY
This drone is helping Ukraine fight Russia. It’s also killing civilians across the globe. Turkey is changing the face of modern warfare with its TB2 drone. As the weapon spreads across the globe, some U.S. lawmakers seek to crack down on the country, saying it’s exploiting its NATO status to obtain key parts from Western manufacturers.
Pentagon: US killed ISIS leader in Syria in drone strike. The Pentagon said Tuesday that it killed a leader of the Islamic State in Syria in a drone strike.
ISIS planned chemical attacks in Europe, new details on weapons program reveal. In the summer of 2014, as his followers were ravaging the cities of northern Iraq, Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi convened a secret meeting with a weapons expert whose unusual skills the terrorist chief was anxious to acquire.
Biden’s trip, and Ukraine’s war, could boost the Abraham Accords. President Biden’s Middle Eastern diplomatic mission this week contrasts with news reports and public discussion in the past year suggesting that the region has become a lesser priority for U.S. foreign and security policy. Biden’s visits to Saudi Arabia, Israel and the Palestinian West Bank territory build on a reality that Middle Eastern states have been knitting new relations, notably via the 2020 Abraham Accords. They are doing so in ways that Biden’s visit, and overall U.S. diplomacy, can advance.
US MILITARY AND SPACE
Coast Guard aims to learn from Navy at RIMPAC. Although the Rim of the Pacific 2022 exercise is led by the U.S. Navy, the Coast Guard is playing a larger role this year.
US sends destroyer near Paracel Islands angering China. The US says sailing near disputed islands was a ‘freedom of navigation operation’ while China calls it ‘illegal’.
