Bombshell report alleges Biden family had 150+ suspicious bank activity flags
After studying the documents on the Hunter Biden laptop, former criminal prosecutor and New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani concluded that: “What Hunter Biden is, is a bagman… I’ve prosecuted many cases like this. He’s collecting Joe’s bribes that come to about $12 million from Ukraine and $3.5 million from Russia. But the big money comes from China. And the amount of money involved is in the tens of millions of dollars.” Today, there is documented proof that that the Biden family has received at least $31 million from entities controlled by the CCP, with greater Chinese payoffs yet to come.

Kamala Harris Tells Philippines U.S. Will Defend Against Chinese Aggression
Vice President Kamala Harris said during her first official visit to the Philippines on Monday the United States will honor a 1951 bilateral defense treaty and defend Filipino ships against Chinese aggression in the South China Sea.
The issue is pertinent because the Philippines on Monday accused China of using force to retrieve debris from a rocket near the contested Spratly Islands.
“In particular as it relates to the Philippines, I will say that we must reiterate always that we stand with you in defense of international rules and norms as it relates to the South China Sea,” Harris said after meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at Malacanang, the presidential palace in Manila.
“An armed attack on the Philippines, armed forces, public vessels or aircraft in the South China Sea would invoke U.S. Mutual Defense commitments. And that is an unwavering commitment that we have to the Philippines,” Harris said.
Marcos responded that he valued the mutual defense treaty, and hinted at desiring stronger relations with the U.S. than his predecessor.
“I have said many times: I do not see a future for the Philippines that does not include the United States. And that really come from the very long relationship that we have had with the U.S.,” he said.
The United States signed a mutual defense treaty with the Philippines in 1951, one of the oldest such treaties still in force in the modern world. The treaty has not done much to dissuade China from constantly bullying the Philippines in disputed waters, perhaps in part because former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte wanted to distance himself from Washington and curry favor with Beijing.
When the treaty was signed, the Philippines was in the process of building a formidable military, but it rotted away from neglect to a handful of patrol ships. When Philippine officials talked about revising or abandoning the treaty last year, the Chinese reportedly told them to leave it alone, because Beijing reportedly likes the inert agreement just fine the way it is.
On Monday, as Harris arrived in Manila, Vice Admiral Alberto Carlos of the Philippine navy accused a Chinese coast guard vessel of blocking the passage of a Filipino rubber boat that was towing an “unidentified floating object” near the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea.
According to Carlos, the object appeared to be debris from a Chinese rocket that fell into waters claimed by the Philippines earlier in November. The Chinese ship deployed an inflatable boat that “forcefully retrieved said floating object by cutting the towing line attached to the rubber boat.”
The Chinese Foreign Ministry claimed the incident was a minor misunderstanding and said the Filipinos voluntarily “returned the floating object to the Chinese side” after a “friendly consultation on the spot.”
“The Chinese side expressed gratitude to the Philippine side. There was no so-called blocking of the course of a Philippine Navy boat and forcefully retrieving the object at the scene,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said, flatly contradicting Carlos’ account of the incident.
China’s state-run Global Times on Tuesday condemned Harris for “fanning the flames of the South China Sea issue” by planning a visit to the front lines of the China-Philippines territorial dispute.
The Global Times managed to bully the Philippines even while claiming China wants nothing but peaceable relations, warning Marcos not to let the Biden administration “forcibly put the fuse of conflict in the South China Sea” into his hands and maneuver him into provoking China.
“To be honest, this move is not so kind,” the Chinese Communist paper sneered menacingly.
“Washington has made the South China Sea one of its strategic game points against China. Its actions in the region are not aimed at allowing the de-escalation of the situation. Instead, they aim at pushing for an escalation, and encouraging regional countries to take provocative actions against China and stimulating their impulse to get tough on China,” the Global Times accused.
“Target countries that have been ‘selected’ by the U.S. must keep sober to avoid falling into traps,” the editorial concluded.
On Tuesday, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin held his first in-person meeting with Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe since U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan in April, a visit that outraged Beijing and prompted weeks of intimidating military drills around Taiwan.
According to the Pentagon’s account of Austin’s 90-minute meeting with Wei in Cambodia, the U.S. defense secretary expressed his concerns about “the increasingly dangerous behavior demonstrated by PLA aircraft in the Indo-Pacific region that increases the risk of an accident.”
PLA stands for People’s Liberation Army, China’s name for its military forces. A prominent incident of such dangerous behavior occurred in June, when a PLA fighter conducted a close intercept of an Australian surveillance plane over the South China Sea.
The Australian Defense Ministry said the PLA fighter in question not only approached to within an unsafe distance, but also released a package of radar-deflecting chaff, which was sucked into the Australian plane’s engine.
THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY
GOP Lawmaker: 'Once Joe Biden Gets In The White House, Suddenly Hunter Biden's An Artist'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaCah_BKAlg
Top Republican Drops Bombshell on Hannity: Joe Biden Personally Sold US Natural Gas to Communist China
-
The top Republican on the U.S. House committee tasked with investigating government corruption has made a stunning revelation to Fox News host Sean Hannity, that Joe Biden was personally involved in a deal that sought to give communist China a supply of U.S. natural gas and influence over U.S. natural gas prices.
Congressman James Comer (R-Ky.), the Ranking Member on the U.S. House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform revealed on Hannity’s program documents showing Biden family members, and then-former Vice President Joe Biden himself tried to cut a 2017 deal with the communist Chinese energy company CEFC.
“Documents and communications obtained by Committee Republicans reveal Joe Biden was involved in the arrangement as a business partner, had office space, and may have benefitted financially from his family’s transaction selling American energy to a Chinese business closely affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party,” Government Oversight and Reform Committee Republicans announced in a statement.
Comer claims to have a 2017 PowerPoint presentation that allegedly details Joe Biden’s involvement in a Biden family business deal to sell U.S. natural gas to communist China, and a whistleblower who confirms, through bank transactions, Joe Biden’s involvement in the deal.
According to Comer, the PowerPoint presentation and obtained emails show Hunter Biden’s company, Hudson West, was negotiating a sale of U.S. liquified natural gas to CEFC.
Comer reports the presentation names Joe Biden as a major investor in the deal, and Joe Biden would have “keys to the office negotiation the deal.”
Notably, CEFC wanted to work with the Bidens to purchase an interest in American drillers, giving them some control over U.S. natural gas prices.
“I think it’s safe to say now that the Oversight investigation into Hunter Biden, is now shifting to an investigation of Joe Biden,” Comer told Hannity.
“Everything about this is a shady business dealing, and this is the first time that there’s proof that Joe Biden was involved. That’s why we are trying to get those suspicious activity reports and those transaction records,” said Comer.

What all those Democrats voted for in the midterm election
Biden Turns Over American Sovereignty to China
A Chinese Influence Operation Promoted an Anti-Trump PAC for the Midterms
A Bay Area post office box and a shadowy online war.
In May 2022, Mary Trump tweeted, “Hundreds of voter subversion laws are only a governor’s signature away from going into effect. Please join the Democracy Defense Fund in supporting these gubernatorial candidates who are committed to protecting our #VotingRights.”
Mary Trump, the former president’s niece, has become an anti-Trump figure specializing in deranged rhetoric like calling him “mass murderer criminal Donald Trump”. DDF is a PAC that is intervening in races across the country, including in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Ohio.
The Democracy Defense Fund, a nationwide PAC, was supposedly created by Mary Trump, who has no apparent background or ability to create or manage such an organization. After an extensive search, I was unable to locate any other employees or personnel involved with it.
Who’s really behind DDF which claims to have a nationwide reach for the midterms?
Aside from Mary’s name out front, the DDF PAC has been a black box. The site only mentions her name and no other employees, advisers or board members. And yet DDF has sent out fundraising emails urging donations to Stacey Abrams, Beto O’Rourke and Raphael Warnock. It bombarded mailboxes with a plea from Mandela Barnes, running against Senator Ron Johnson: something that the Democrat Senate candidate and DDF could do because it’s a hybrid PAC.
The only address listed by DDF is a post office box at a Bay Area post office. But this particular post office is also used by the Hold the House PAC fronted by former Democratic Rep. Mike Honda and run by a Silicon Valley strategy firm. The former congressman was a controversial figure who was accused of a pay-to-play scheme with donors.
An Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) report stated that there is “substantial reason to believe … Honda improperly tied official activities to past or potential political support.”
Honda’s “1,000 Cranes” list served as an index of special favors that appeared to be performed for top donors. And Honda was one of the politicians targeted by Fang Fang, a Chinese spy. Honda can be seen posing with the foreign agent at the Chinese Embassy in D.C.
The existing questions about who is really behind the Democracy Defense Fund took on a new urgency with the release of the Dragonbridge or the Spamouflage Dragon influence operation running out of China. The latest Chinese operation in which operatives pretended to be Americans made waves because for the first time they appeared to be directly interfering in an election by adopting American personas and promoting American political organizations.
While the Chinese Communist operatives pretended to be Americans from across the spectrum, the Left and the Right, one tweet was notable. It read, “Hundreds of voter subversion laws are only a governor’s signature away from going into effect. Please join the Democracy Defense Fund in supporting these gubernatorial candidates.”
Dragonbridge was amplifying Mary Trump’s tweet and promoting the Democracy Defense Fund. There is no record of the Chinese influence operation promoting any other PACs.
DDF claims that “our democracy is in danger”, but it’s being promoted by one of the world’s most brutal totalitarian dictatorships which is at war with the United States. It alleges that Republicans are “planning the next coup”, but DDF’s amplification by Communist China raises questions about where the real backing for the next coup is coming from.
The account in question has since been suspended but it raises troubling questions about not only Communist China’s involvement in the midterms, but its support for a Democrat PAC.
And it makes it more urgent than ever to answer the question of who’s really behind DDF.
While the Democracy Defense Fund seeks to intervene in battleground elections, its only listed address is in the Bay Area. That is also where China’s espionage and influence operations are strongest. It’s also the wellspring of money pouring into American elections.
California is the only state where the PRC’s Ministry of State Security has a unit. Chinese operatives were able to recruit a staff member working for Senator Dianne Feinstein. Fang Fang pursued primarily California Democrats like Rep. Eric Swalwell and Rep. Ro Khanna.
Chinese-owned firms have already been caught donating to PACs. Others, like Huawei, TikTok and Hikvision have invested a fortune in lobbying Congress. But beyond the millions of dollars being spent by companies with links to the Communist Party, and with lobbyists formally registered as foreign agents, there is a hidden underworld of spies and political operatives.
It may be entirely a coincidence that a Chinese influence operation promoted a Democrat PAC, just a question of random algorithms and 50-cent party ignorance, but it is dangerous to assume that China has no interest in our political system and no plans for calculatedly disrupting it.
The Biden administration and the Democrats have dismantled many of the safeguards and preventative measures put into place to deter China by the Trump administration.
The destruction of the China Initiative by the Biden administration in particular has given the Communist enemy regime a green light to resume its mass theft of our technologies and secrets. Would Beijing like this state of affairs to continue? The answer is all too obvious.
A shadowy PAC with a post office box is out to influence midterm elections in Georgia, Ohio and Pennsylvania among other places. An even more shadowy Chinese influence operation has promoted it. While the media has eagerly talked up Mary Trump, it’s shown no interest in the question of who is behind the Democracy Defense Fund. That lack of accountability is a cloak under which foreign interests and enemy states can operate safely while knowing that they won’t be exposed. The media would rather attack Republicans than defend America.
And Communist China knows it.
Who is behind the Democracy Defense Fund? The answer likely lurks in the Bay Area, but who is to say that it may not have an echo thousands of miles away in the corridors of Beijing?

Mastrangelo: China’s TikTok Needs to Be Banned Before It Can Do Any More Damage
China-owned TikTok is Chinese surveillance and psyops thinly veiled as a social media platform that FCC Brendan Carr has labeled “China’s digital fentanyl.” It is time for lawmakers to stop ignoring the giant panda in the room and ban the platform from this country before China can do even more damage to America’s youth — and its elections.
TikTok should be banned in the United States. When
one looks at the total picture of the damage done in
this country by the hyper-popular platform, owned by
China’s ByteDance, the question shifts slightly—why
wasn’t the platform banned when President Donald
Trump proposed the move? The dangers to America’s
youth, security, and elections are so great that to not
act that this juncture is bordering on national suicide.
The problems TikTok presents can be broken into three broad categories — the danger to teens, the national security threat, and election meddling.
The Danger for Kids and Teens
China is a hostile foreign country that is using TikTok to get U.S. teens to participate in trends that are dangerous and life-threatening.
In September, the FDA warned parents of a deadly new TikTok challenge that involves children cooking chicken in NyQuil, “presumably to eat.” The trend on the China-owned app was just the latest example of a dangerous stunt spread to young Americans.
Another challenge seen on TikTok in 2020 involved urging users to take large doses of the allergy medication Benadryl (diphenhydramine) to induce hallucinations. The challenge resulted in reports of teens being rushed to the hospital, and in some cases, dying.
Last year, school officials spoke out against TikTok’s “bathroom challenge,” which encouraged students to vandalize school restrooms. The challenge, also known as “devious licks,” involved videos depicting vandalism of trophy cases, hallways, and classrooms, as well as theft of fire extinguishers, school signs, and other property.
To add insult to injury, the Chinese app also rewards U.S. users by making them go viral or become “TikTok famous” for behaving foolishly. On one hand, this is accomplished by posting frivolous dance videos, but on the other, it is for popularizing dangerous trends or posting sexual content.
TikTok’s algorithm also makes it easier for teenagers to go viral and gain internet fame when they post sexualized videos. This has also taken a toll on teens’ mental health, according to mental health professionals. And the Chinese company seemingly tailors its algorithms to have different impacts on various communities. For example, a lawsuit filed in July alleges that TikTok pushes especially violent content on black teenagers.
Unlike other social media platforms — such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter — TikTok makes it much easier and faster for teens to obtain what they perceive as “fame” on the app. This fame can come with a terrible price.
The National Security Threat
TikTok is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, which — under China’s laws — can be forced to hand over the data TikTok has collected on U.S. citizens to the Chinese Communist Party. And TikTok collects a plethora of data on American citizens.
In October, it was reported that ByteDance planned to use TikTok to monitor the physical location of specific American citizens. Then in November, TikTok admitted that its employees in China can access the private data of accounts based in other countries.
Currently, TikTok is hoping to sign an accord with the Treasury Department’s Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which assesses national security risks presented by foreign companies.
But security experts say TikTok users would still risk having their personal data exposed to hacking and espionage by China, even if the U.S. government were to set up a security agreement designed to keep the app from being banned.
Meanwhile, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr is calling for the government to ban TikTok, as well as for Google and Apple to ban it from their app stores (a request that shouldn’t be too daunting, given that the tech giants have banned American companies for far less).
Last week, Carr declared that “TikTok is China’s digital fentanyl,” and banning it “is a basic IQ test for the administration.” The FCC Commissioner also noted that China shows a “very, very different” version of the app in China than it does in the U.S.
Carr explained that people view TikTok as “just a fun application for sharing dance videos or other funny videos, but that’s just the sheep’s clothing,” but it actually “operates as a very sophisticated surveillance app,” and pulls “everything from everything from search and browsing history, potentially keystroke patterns, biometrics, including faceprints and voiceprints.”
Even Democrats agree, as Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) recently proclaimed, “This is not something you would normally hear me say, but Donald Trump was right on TikTok years ago.” TikTok has been under scrutiny by U.S. officials since 2019, under the Trump administration.
On Tuesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray echoed these sentiments, telling Congress he is “extremely concerned” about TikTok, and warned lawmakers that allowing the Chinese app to continue operating in the United States could be a national security threat.
While U.S. leadership has yet to act with regard to risks posed by TikTok when it comes to U.S. civilians, it is obvious that they know better, given that government agencies — such as the U.S. military and TSA — have already banned employees from having the app on their devices.
This begs the question: if TikTok isn’t safe for U.S. soldiers, then why would it be considered safe for civilians?
Meddling in U.S. elections
As Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams recently pointed out, a big factor in Democrats’ strong performance in the midterm elections was TikTok. “The group of Americans that controlled the election outcome are the group of Americans that China controls through TikTok,” Adams said.
“Allowing TikTok, a Chinese company — to be the primary channel for the most important group of voters in the United States. Do you see any problem there?” the pundit asked.
One exit poll found that a staggering 68 percent of unmarried women favored Democrats in the House midterm elections, a demographic that is extremely powerful on TikTok, as nearly 60 percent of who those use the Chinese app are female.
As an example of TikTok’s power, consider that after a draft Supreme Court opinion overruling Roe v. Wade was leaked in May, pro-abortion activists reportedly took to TikTok, where they posted videos of themselves dancing in an attempt to “save Roe v. Wade through the awareness-spreading power of dance.”
While the dance videos on TikTok didn’t influence the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to ultimately overrule Roe v. Wade, and were widely mocked by conservatives at the time, it did appear to influence U.S. elections — as they served as another means of spreading pro-abortion rhetoric ahead of the midterms.
“We acknowledge that TikTok dances may not have been the greatest tactic to get the SCOTUS draft rejected, but please understand that this was part of a greater awareness campaign,” a page promoting the pro-abortion TikTok dances read following the overruling of Roe.
Some might argue that U.S. social media companies are also corrupt, harmful to teens, and meddle in U.S. elections. Yes, but U.S. companies can be held responsible under the laws of our country, whether that takes the form of action by Congress or regulators, whereas the same is not possible with TikTok. Can any reasonable person argue that a Chinese company operating in the good graces of the country’s Communist regime would have any qualms about lying when Americans question its operations? As a reminder, we’re talking about a company that happily devised a plan to collect the “faceprint” and “voiceprint” of millions of American teens.
In fact, saying that TikTok shouldn’t be treated differently from a U.S. company is like saying that crimes committed by illegal aliens shouldn’t be treated any differently from crimes committed by U.S. citizens.
When an illegal alien commits a murder in the United States, for example, left-wing activists and media oftentimes change the subject to U.S. citizens and argue that “American citizens break the law too” or, a favorite refrain: “illegal immigrants commit crimes at lower rates.”
In both the case of crimes committed by illegals and China destroying American teens and throwing U.S. elections, these negative impacts on society are completely preventable. All crimes committed by illegal aliens are completely preventable — if the U.S. were to simply secure its own border and enforce its own laws, that is. The same logic applies to TikTok.
Like illegal immigration, all problems derived from TikTok are completely avoidable — if our leaders stop enabling China and shut down the Communist regime’s favorite propaganda platform immediately.

McCarthy Plans Committee to Crack Down on China
'We will put a stop to this and no longer allow the administration to sit back and let China do what they are doing to America,' says House Republican leader
Reuters • November 21, 2022 12:35 pmWASHINGTON (Reuters)—Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader in the U.S. House of Representatives, said on Sunday he would form a select committee on China if he is elected speaker of the chamber, accusing the Biden administration of not standing up to Beijing.
"China is the No. 1 country when it comes to intellectual property theft," he told Fox News in an interview.
"We will put a stop to this and no longer allow the administration to sit back and let China do what they are doing to America."
McCarthy also said he would keep his promise to oust a number of Democrats from key House committees, including Representative Adam Schiff, the chairman of the intelligence committee.
He said he would also remove Representative Eric Swalwell from the intelligence committee and Representative Ilhan Omar from the foreign affairs committee.
McCarthy is vying to become speaker after his party won a narrow House majority in the midterm elections this month, although he will need to secure enough votes to be formally elected when the new Congress takes office in January.
A source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that McCarthy prevailed in Republican House leadership elections on Tuesday, overcoming a challenge from hard-line conservative Representative Andy Biggs in a 188-31 vote by the caucus.
McCarthy also told Fox News his party would "stop these police stations in America," after FBI Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers on Thursday the United States was concerned about the Chinese government setting up unauthorized stations in U.S. cities.
Europe-based human rights organization Safeguard Defenders published a report in September revealing the presence of dozens of Chinese police "service stations" in major global cities including New York.
The report said the stations were part of Beijing's efforts to pressure Chinese nationals to return to China to face criminal charges as well as spread the Chinese Communist Party's influence and propaganda overseas.
China's Embassy in Washington acknowledged the existence of volunteer-run sites in the United States, but said they were not "police stations."
The sites "assist Chinese nationals who need help in accessing the online service platform to get their driving licenses renewed and receive physical check-ups for that purpose," an embassy official told Reuters.
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.

True Fact: Hunter Biden took $5 million in a deal with his Chinese
business associate Patrick Ho — who he referred to as “the f**king spy
chief of China” in a recording on his abandoned laptop.
Chinese Propaganda Outlet Laments Trump 2024 Run: ‘A Tragedy’...WHY?
China’s Global Times state propaganda newspaper declared former American President Donald Trump’s announcement of a third presidential bid this week “a ‘tragedy’ of American democracy,” predicting on Wednesday that Trump’s return to politics would inspire “violence.”
Trump served as president from 2016 to 2020 and made confronting malign Chinese Communist Party influence the core of his administration’s policies. Among the many actions Trump took to reduce Chinese communist influence on the world stage and within America were the imposition of tariffs on Chinese products, blocking national security threats such as telecommunications company Huawei from doing business in America, and formally recognizing the Communist Party’s genocide of Muslim ethnic groups, particularly the Uyghur people, in East Turkistan.
In his speech on Tuesday announcing he would run against incumbent leftist President Joe Biden – deeply implicated in business deals with individuals tied to the Chinese Communist Party – Trump emphasized that he would prioritize leveling the economic and political playing field with China. Trump vowed an “all-out campaign to eliminate America’s dependence on China” if he returns to the White House.
In an article titled, “Trump’s launch of 2024 bid may exacerbate ‘US political fragmentation’, a ‘tragedy’ of American democracy,” the Global Times – which serves as an opinion mouthpiece for the Chinese government – acknowledged that the Chinese Foreign Ministry did not comment on Trump’s announcement as it is a matter of “internal affairs.” The Foreign Ministry routinely condemns other countries for allegedly interfering in China’s “internal affairs” by, among other things, objecting to China’s genocide of the Uyghur people and other human rights atrocities, and in turn claims to not meddle in foreign elections.
The Global Times nonetheless went on to declare, as an official entity of the Chinese government, that Trump running for president “will exacerbate US political division and violence,” citing “Chinese observers.”
“Trump’s run is undoubtedly further worsening political divides in the US,” the propaganda outlet asserted. “Trump is good at destroying his opponents’ character rather than targeting their political views in gaining support, and as long as Trump is still active in American politics, political fragmentation and violence will not abate but will intensify.”
The regime-approved “expert” claiming that Trump will cause violence, professor Li Haidong, went on to call the entirety of the American political system a “tragedy as the current manifestation of the US politics is that people expend too much energy and the country expends too many resources in the service of elections and politics itself, instead of letting the US politics serve the welfare of people.”
Chinese propaganda outlets routinely condemn the American political system, which allows citizens to disagree politically with the government without going to prison, as “chaotic,” compared to the “harmony” of a totalitarian communist system. The fact that Americans vote for new political leaders on a regular basis, rather than having a dictator such as Xi Jinping at the helm indefinitely, is depicted as producing “instability.”
Trump made the Chinese communist threat a centerpiece of his announcement on Tuesday that he would again pursue the presidency.
“For the first time in memory, China was reeling and back on its heels. You’ve never seen that before because the United States was outdoing them on every single front, and China was paying billions and billions of dollars in taxes and tariffs,” Trump said of his first term in office. “Instead of jobs and factories leaving America for China, they were for the first time ever leaving China for America.”
“That is why we will launch an all-out campaign to eliminate America’s dependence on China,” Trump vowed. “We will bring our supply chains, which are a disaster right now, you can’t get anything.”
The Chinese Communist Party, through its state media arms, openly celebrated Trump’s loss in the 2020 presidential election.
“Good riddance!” proclaimed the state-run Xinhua News Agency in a now-deleted post to Twitter.
The Chinese government spent much of its effort combatting Trump’s agenda on tariffs imposed on Chinese products to help make American companies more competitive with Chinese industries, which routinely use slave labor to make it impossible for foreign companies to compete. Chinese companies have also been implicated in hundreds of intellectual property theft and espionage cases in the United States.
In 2018, Trump’s administration announced a move to impose $50 billion in tariffs on a variety of Chinese products including but not limited to televisions, car parts, and medical products. In July, Bloomberg reported that the effect of the tariffs in America was helping American companies survive the economic devastation caused by Chinese coronavirus lockdowns.
“For some companies, the first nudge they got to revamp their supply-chain lines came two years before [Chinese coronavirus], when then-President Donald Trump began slapping tariffs on Chinese products again and again,” Bloomberg observed.
“Generac Holdings, a maker of power generators, started mapping out plans to shift some production from China, and when the pandemic hit, those plans got supercharged,” the outlet noted in one example. “The company now gets more of its parts from suppliers in the US and Mexico, produces more generators near its headquarters outside Milwaukee and runs a brand new plant in a small town just north of Augusta, Georgia.”
The report also identified a 120-percent increase in the construction of manufacturing plants in America between 2021 and 2022.

Government Panel Calls on Congress To Review China’s Trade Status
China's trade policies are 'exacerbating distortions to the global economy,' commission finds
Anna Allen • November 15, 2022 4:30 pmA bipartisan congressionally convened panel is recommending Congress review China's trade status after finding the country's trade policies inconsistent with its World Trade Organization accession protocol.
The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission found that China's "subsidies, overcapacity, intellectual property theft, and protectionist nonmarket policies" are not consistent with "the spirit and letter" of WTO protocols and "exacerbate distortions to the global economy." Reviewing China's trade ties was at the top of the commission's 39 recommendations to Congress, released Tuesday in an annual report. If a congressional review finds China not compliant with WTO protocols, the commission recommends that Congress suspend China's "Permanent Normal Trade Relations" status, which the United States established in a landmark agreement in 1999.
The report comes the day after President Joe Biden met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping to discuss the two countries' deteriorating relationship—a meeting Rep. Michael McCaul (R., Texas) feared would only expose Biden's inability to stand up to China.
"We’re going to compete vigorously, but I’m not looking for conflict. I’m looking to manage this competition responsibly," Biden told reporters after the three-hour meeting.
The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission was organized to investigate the national security implications of U.S.-Chinese economic policies. The commission recommended a 90-day deadline for the congressional review.
"There is a cost associated with the predatory trade practices of China on American workers and industries that has been well documented since their accession to the WTO," Kim Glas, vice chairwoman of the commission, told the Wall Street Journal. "We’re asking Congress to do a systematic and thorough review of that and determine what would normalized trade relationships look like."
Top Republican Drops Bombshell on
Hannity: Joe Biden Personally Sold US
Natural Gas to Communist China
-
The top Republican on the U.S. House committee tasked with investigating government corruption has made a stunning revelation to Fox News host Sean Hannity, that Joe Biden was personally involved in a deal that sought to give communist China a supply of U.S. natural gas and influence over U.S. natural gas prices.
Congressman James Comer (R-Ky.), the Ranking Member on the U.S. House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform revealed on Hannity’s program documents showing Biden family members, and then-former Vice President Joe Biden himself tried to cut a 2017 deal with the communist Chinese energy company CEFC.
“Documents and communications obtained by Committee Republicans reveal Joe Biden was involved in the arrangement as a business partner, had office space, and may have benefitted financially from his family’s transaction selling American energy to a Chinese business closely affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party,” Government Oversight and Reform Committee Republicans announced in a statement.
Comer claims to have a 2017 PowerPoint presentation that allegedly details Joe Biden’s involvement in a Biden family business deal to sell U.S. natural gas to communist China, and a whistleblower who confirms, through bank transactions, Joe Biden’s involvement in the deal.
According to Comer, the PowerPoint presentation and obtained emails show Hunter Biden’s company, Hudson West, was negotiating a sale of U.S. liquified natural gas to CEFC.
Comer reports the presentation names Joe Biden as a major investor in the deal, and Joe Biden would have “keys to the office negotiation the deal.”
Notably, CEFC wanted to work with the Bidens to purchase an interest in American drillers, giving them some control over U.S. natural gas prices.
“I think it’s safe to say now that the Oversight investigation into Hunter Biden, is now shifting to an investigation of Joe Biden,” Comer told Hannity.
US Has Sent a Net $309 Billion to Communist China This Year
Two weeks after he was inaugurated, President Joe Biden traveled over to the State Department to deliver a speech about his foreign policy.
One point he repeatedly stressed in that speech: He was not going to let the People's Republic of China take advantage of the United States.
"American leadership must meet this new moment of advancing authoritarianism, including the growing ambitions of China to rival the United States," Biden said at the beginning of his speech.
"We must start with diplomacy rooted in America's most cherished democratic values: defending freedom, championing opportunity, upholding universal rights, respecting the rule of law and treating every person with dignity," Biden said.
"And we'll also take on directly the challenges posed by our prosperity, security and democratic values by our most serious competitor, China," Biden declared.
"We'll confront China's economic abuses; counter its aggressive, coercive action; to push back on China's attack on human rights, intellectual property and global governance," he said.
Then, Biden specifically focused on the well-being of the American working class — including how it related to U.S. relations with China.
"Every action we take in our conduct abroad, we must take with American working families in mind," said Biden. "Advancing a foreign policy for the middle class demands urgent focus on our domestic ... economic renewal."
"If we invest in ourselves and our people," Biden said, "if we fight to ensure that American businesses are positioned to compete and win on the global stage, if the rules of international trade aren't stacked against us, if our workers and intellectual property are protected, then there's no country on Earth — not China or any other country on Earth — that can match us."
So, how has Biden done in his strategic aims to "push back on China's attack on human rights" and keep "American working families in mind" in every action America takes abroad?
The State Department's 2021 report on human rights in China, as this column has noted before, described the Chinese regime's systematic attacks on the human rights of the Chinese people.
"Genocide and crimes against humanity occurred during the year against predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjian," said the State Department. "These crimes were continuing and included: the arbitrary imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty of more than one million civilians; forced sterilization, coerced abortions, and more restrictive application of the country's birth control policies; rape; torture of a large number of those arbitrarily detained; forced labor; and draconian restrictions on freedom of religion or belief, freedom of expression, and freedom of movement."
"Government officials and the security services often committed human rights abuses with impunity," the report concluded.
While China continued to inflict these abuses on its own people, it also continued to run up a massive trade deficit with the United States.
In 2021, according to the Census Bureau, the United States exported only $151.442 billion in products to the People's Republic while it was importing $504.935 billion. As a result, the United States ran a one-year bilateral trade deficit with the People's Republic of $353.493 billion.
So far in 2022, the Census Bureau has published the international trade numbers for the nine months from January through September.
But things have not gotten better in U.S.-China trade relations. They have gotten worse.
In the first nine months of 2021 (when the U.S. was on its way to that twelve-month deficit of $353.493 billion), the U.S. ran a trade deficit of $253.507 billion with China.
In the first nine months of this year, the U.S. has run a $309.230 billion trade deficit with China. That is up $55.723 billion — or about 22% — from the first nine months of last year.
This week, while attending the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, Biden met with Xi Jinping, the general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party.
A report in The New York Times suggested that the Chinese government was happy with the outcome of the Biden-Xi meeting. Its headline said: "After the Biden-Xi meeting, Beijing signals optimism over relations with Washington."
"An upbeat photo in China's main newspaper and comments by the foreign minister suggested that Beijing believes its relationship with Washington could improve," said the Times.
"The prominent position of the photo on the front page of China's main official newspaper spoke volumes: In it, the nation's leader, Xi Jinping, smiled and shook hands with President Biden against a backdrop of Chinese and American flags."
The Times reported that Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told reporters of the Biden-Xi summit: "This meeting was both a continuation of exchanges up to now, and augurs a new starting point."
The new starting point that the United States should establish with Beijing is not one that will make the Chinese Communist Party happy. It should be one that will pressure China to stop its human rights abuses and eliminate the trade imbalance that in the first nine months of this year has resulted in the American people sending a net of $309 billion to a Communist regime.

TULSI GABBARD
A REPUBLICAN SENATE MEANS JOE BIDEN IS SENT TO A HOME OR GITMO!
Hunter Biden scandal is a prelude to indicting Trump: Sen. Cruz
Will a Biden Go to Prison Instead of Trump?
The biggest threat to the Biden machine is not from Republicans or conservatives.
Soon after he announced his run for President in June of 2015, the Democrats – along with their obedient lap dogs in the media – went after then New York City businessman Donald J. Trump hammer and tongs.
In collusion with elements of the “Deep State” within our own Federal government, fabricated accusation after fabricated accusation was hurled at then candidate Trump. Once he was elected President, the left’s smear machine went into overdrive.
Why?
The main reason being that “They” – meaning the Democrats, the entrenched Republican-elites, and the Deep State – could not control him. Ever. President Trump was not part of the DC “Club” or “Cabal.”
He didn’t need their fawning approval nor their special interest connections or money. He was in it to put forth what he believed to be the best policy initiatives designed to benefit the vast majority of the American people. Most especially the working and middle-class.
As far as President Trump was concerned, it was: “Damn the partisan; special interest; and corrupt-liberal-media torpedoes. Full speed ahead.”
Except…if you are instituting policies to help protect the vast majority of the American people, you will invariably expose numerous politicians as outright frauds, while identifying countless organizations and individuals greedily feeding from the tax-payer trough at the direct expense of the American people.
As the entrenched-elites in it for the power, the money, or petrified that they would soon be exposed as the charlatans they are could not have that, the “Russian Collusion” hoax was created in the darkest, most putrid shadows of the DC sewers and rolled out on multiple liberal, far-left, and “Never Trump” fronts.
To cover their “Russian Collusion” bet, they next scooped up gobs and gobs of freshly created mud and threw that at the walls in ever increasing fanatical fits of desperation. Months and now years later, nothing has stuck.
What to do?
Even though former President Trump has been out of office for almost two years, the Democrats, the Deep State, the liberal media, and the entrenched Republican elites still fear him. More than fear him, they fear the influence he still strongly maintains with tens of millions of American voters.
Hence, the partisan, despicable and truly disreputable FBI raid on former President Trump’s private residence in Florida.
Look, former President Trump is not perfect. If I had his ear in the White House, I would have asked him to temper some of the school-yard rhetoric. A President can easily take the public high road, while completely neutralizing – or even crushing — the opposition privately behind the scenes. The fact is, by and large, then President Trump had exceptional policies which were dramatically reshaping our nation into a better and more secure version of itself.
But, for those willing to be honest with themselves, it was never about President Trump’s colorful rhetoric nor his policies. It was always because he was beyond the control of the DC Club and Cabal. Period.
Ironically – and quite relevantly – current President Joe Biden has been a charter member of that DC club for decades. One of his many nicknames being: “Go along, Joe.”
The question for many being: “How much did he ‘Go Along’ with the schemes of his son, Hunter Biden?”
The biggest threat to the Biden machine is not from Republicans or conservatives, but from the entrenched Democratic-elites and their servants in the media. At some point, the Democratic “leadership,” the liberal and Big-Tech special interests, Woke CEOs, members of the liberal “Deep State,” and certain mainstream media executives may decide for the good of them all, the “Biden Clan” has to be thrown overboard.
Should that come to pass – and it is more likely with each passing day – then a number of the alleged “Biden corruption” crumbs which have been repeatedly swept under multiple DC rugs, will magically start to creep back out onto the open floor for all to see.
“Crumbs” leading back to the Hunter Biden laptop as well as his business deals and contacts in Ukraine and The People’s Republic of China.
If I were a betting man, I would say they will never get former President Trump on any of the invented charges they have repeatedly orchestrated.
That said, I would not want to be part of the greater Biden family if the Democratic Cabal decides that all of them are suddenly and permanently, much more trouble than they are worth.
Should that come to pass, expect several very controversial “Presidential Pardons” to be announced at the end of the Biden administration in the wake of that Liberal-entrenched-elite “Save our own corrupt backsides” desperation move.

Cruz: DOJ Handling of Hunter Biden a ‘Prelude’ Trump Indictment – ‘Politics, Not Law Enforcement’
During an appearance on this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) criticized the Biden Justice Department’s handling of the Hunter Biden saga.
However, the Texas Republican predicted the corruption investigation of the younger Biden was part of an effort to indict former President Donald Trump.
“Well, the evidence of corruption is now becoming overwhelming,” Cruz said. “And we have seen in the last month the Biden Department of Justice actively leaking that it intends to indict Hunter Biden. And I have to say, those leaks are troubling on three different bases. Number one, the Department of Justice shouldn’t be leaking anything. That is against the law. To the extent that revealing grand jury secrets, that is, in fact, a criminal offense, and they’re playing politics. They’re not engaged in law enforcement. Number two, the substance of what they have leaked is that they’re looking at Hunter Biden for drug offenses and tax offenses. Now, listen, by any measure, Hunter Biden is a deeply troubled soul, a soul who has struggled with addiction his whole life.”
“What is concerning about their focus on the drug and tax issues is it is very carefully walling off why this is a matter of public concern,” he continued. “If Hunter Biden was just a regular guy who struggled with addiction, it wouldn’t be a matter of public interest. The reason it is a matter of public interest is there is significant and, in fact, overwhelming evidence that Hunter Biden was actively involved in official corruption with his father, Joe Biden. And that involves both Ukraine and the natural gas company Burisma that paid Hunter Biden $83,000 a month when he spoke no Ukrainian and knew nothing about oil and gas. And his father was actively doing favors on behalf of the oligarch who was paying Hunter Biden, and, likewise, China, communist China, paying Hunter Biden and his family over $5 million, including, we now know, 10 percent for the big guy, 10% for Joe Biden.”
“And the fact that the Biden DOJ is saying, ‘Oh, this is all a drug matter. Don’t pay attention to the big guy. Don’t pay attention to the corruption. Just make it one poor person struggling with addiction,'” Cruz added. “That’s highly concerning. And the third reason this is very troubling is, I think, all of this is a prelude to doing what Joe Biden and Merrick Garland want to do, which is indict Donald Trump. And they want to be able to say, look how even-handed we are. We indicted Hunter Biden. We indicted Donald Trump. We indict everybody. And that is politics, not law enforcement.”

Hunter Biden's ongoing legal challenges haven't stopped other members of the Biden family from blatantly exploiting their ties to the president for financial gain. Joe Biden's younger brother, Frank Biden, promoted his relationship with the president in an ad published on Inauguration Day in a Florida business journal.
True Fact: Hunter Biden took $5 million in a deal with his Chinese business associate Patrick Ho — who he referred to as “the f**king spy chief of China” in a recording on his abandoned laptop.

"My brother is a model for how to go about doing this work," Frank Biden says in the ad for the Florida-based litigation firm where he works as a non-attorney senior adviser.

Here Come the Investigations
Column: Congressional oversight spells big trouble for Biden
Matthew Continetti • October 28, 2022 5:00 amLet’s say the GOP wins control of Congress on November 8. What will 2023 look like?
History offers clues. The Republican Congress will fight with the president over spending, immigration, the IRS, aid to Ukraine, and the debt ceiling. And it will open investigations into Biden’s personal and professional life. Divided government in a polarized America doesn’t simply halt a president’s legislative agenda. It saps energy out of the executive branch by forcing the White House into a defensive crouch.
Every president since Ronald Reagan has experienced a period of divided government. Every president since Reagan has faced withering scrutiny from an opposition Congress, from a special or independent counsel, or from all the above. Every president since Bill Clinton has fought Congress over spending. Those battles resulted in at least one government shutdown during three of the past four presidencies. (The Democratic Congress during George W. Bush’s final two years didn’t want to close the government, it wanted to cut off funds for the war in Iraq.)
Reagan was almost impeached for the Iran-contra scandal. George H.W. Bush had to contend with independent counsel Lawrence Walsh and with fallout from the collapse of the Savings and Loan industry. Clinton’s troubles began with Whitewater, moved on to the White House travel office, progressed to sleazy campaign finance, and climaxed in his impeachment for lying about and covering up his affair with a White House intern half his age. George W. Bush had to deal with another special counsel investigation, as well as a firestorm over his firing of U.S. attorneys.
Barack Obama’s administration was investigated for the Fast & Furious program, IRS targeting of Tea Party groups, and the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012. Donald Trump had special counsel Robert Mueller hounding him during his first two years, then Congress impeached him for his unsuccessful attempt to strong-arm the Ukrainians into giving him dirt on Biden. Then Congress impeached him again for the events of January 6, 2021. Trump has been out of office for almost two years, and Congress is still investigating him.
That’s six presidents and three impeachments. Three and a half, if you count the Iran-contra mess. Fair odds, then, that another impeachment lies ahead.
As soon as Congress changes hands, Republicans will be all over Homeland Security’s response to the border crisis. They will deluge the White House with document requests. They will examine whether the administration colluded with social media companies to censor politically incorrect views. They will put Attorney General Merrick Garland in the hot seat for his department’s handling of school board protests and criminalization of political differences. And, of course, the GOP Congress will pore over the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Investigations are easy to start and hard to finish. They take on lives of their own. Republicans may have some idea of where they want to focus, but things never go according to plan.
New scandals emerge. On my screen as I write is an October 25 article in the New York Times with the headline, "U.S. Officials Had a Secret Oil Deal with the Saudis. Or So They Thought." Reporters Mark Mazzetti, Edward Wong, and Adam Entous write that when President Biden met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman in July, he believed that the Saudis would increase oil production ahead of the midterm elections.
The Times notes that, on the very day in June that the White House announced its Middle East trip, Saudi Arabia said it would accelerate a production increase. When Biden met with Prince Salman in Riyadh, they fist-bumped. Then Biden left and the deal—if there ever was a deal—fell apart.
Saudi Arabia opposes the proposed price-cap on Russian oil exports. They don’t want to establish a market precedent. The Biden administration wants to go ahead with the caps. On October 5, the Saudi-influenced OPEC Plus, which also counts Russia as a member, said that it was cutting oil production. Biden and the Democrats were furious. "There’s going to be some consequences for what they’ve done with Russia," the president said. Congressional Democrats have proposed a range of retaliatory measures against the Saudis. Some even say that we should end our 80-year-old alliance with the kingdom.
Take a step back for a moment. The president of the United States entered what he thought was a secret agreement with a foreign government to take actions intended to benefit his political party. The White House is convinced that the president’s fortunes rise and fall on the "price at the pump." A price that Biden has tried desperately to drop—not by approving domestic oil and gas leases, pipelines, and refineries, but by depleting the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and pleading with autocratic governments to drill overseas. And when Saudi Arabia didn’t behave as expected, when the desired political benefit didn’t appear, Biden threatened retaliation.
Anyone else remember that "perfect" phone call between President Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky?
I’m not saying the situations are perfectly analogous. A fist bump is not quite the same as a phone transcript. Lower gas prices would help everybody, not just Biden and the Democrats. Plus, after scandal erupted over Trump’s call with Zelensky, U.S. military aid to Ukraine went ahead. Biden may follow through on his threats to punish Saudi Arabia—despite not having imposed any real penalty on Iran, which is supplying Russia with the kamikaze drones brutalizing Ukraine.
The Times story is a reminder that the future in politics is never a straight-line projection from the present. It is also a taste of all the subjects a Republican Congress will investigate in the coming years. None of us knows what grist for the oversight mill will be in tomorrow’s paper. Nor can we imagine what details intrepid congressional researchers will unearth in the months ahead.
The job of president has been hard for Joe Biden. It’s about to get a lot worse.
Sen. Cruz: Hard-Core Partisans in FBI, DOJ ‘View Themselves as Jackbooted Thugs for the DNC’
Top-level officials holding career positions in the Justice Department consider themselves political enforcers for the Biden Administration, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Sunday, discussing the DOJ’s unprecedented attempts to convict former President Donald Trump of a crime – any crime.
In an interview with Constitutional Scholar Mark Levin on “Life, Liberty & Levin,” Sen. Cruz and Host Levin discussed the warrant used to raid Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.
“That warrant was outrageous, it was so broad. And, then you move into breaking into Donald Trump’s home,” Host Levin said, discussing how leaks coming out of the FBI and DOJ reveal an attempt to convict Trump of obstruction of justice – for simply moving documents from one room to another:
“And, the latest leak from the FBI and the Justice Department is: he moved documents. He moved documents from one room to his office! I don’t believe a subpoena prevents you from doing that, by the way. And so, they think they have an obstruction case.”
Never before in the nation’s history has a president used the Justice Department to attack a former president of the opposing party, Sen. Cruz said:
“In 230 years of our nation's history, this has never happened. We've never seen the Department of Justice raid the home of a former president. It's being done by a successor of the opposing political party. It’s being done because they want to attack Donald Trump.”
"This was a fishing expedition,” Cruz said, noting that “Every former president has taken documents from his administration. Barack Obama did that. Bill Clinton did that. George W. Bush did that."
The investigations into Trump are a brutal, blatant effort by the Biden Administration to use government agencies to gain political advantage, Cruz said:
"They’ve put hard partisans in the senior career levels at those institutions, and they now view themselves as the jackbooted thugs for the DNC.
“And that's not what the Department of Justice is supposed to be. That's not what the FBI is supposed to be."

The main objective of “political animals” like Obama and the Clintons is to get elected; it’s not to fix a broken America, nor to protect her. There are people who govern and there are people who campaign; Obama and the Clintons are the latter. Just look at the huge Republican electoral gains under Obama and the Clintons. It’s amazing that Democrats who still care about their party still support the very people who have brought it down.
