WHY AMERICA SHOULD BLAME JOE BIDEN'S MINISTER OF PROPAGANDA AND OPEN BORDERS MARK ZUCKERBERG FOR POS JOE BIDEN - Who knows? George Soros, just one of the mega-donors to the Democrat party, spent $128 million! (Remember also that Mark Zuckerberg spent $400 million in 2020.)

Was the election on the up and up, fair and square, free of fraud?  Who knows?  George Soros, just one of the mega-donors to the Democrat party, spent $128 million!  (Remember also that Mark Zuckerberg spent $400 million in 2020.) One can buy a lot of people, votes and/or ballots with that kind of money.  How and why did the voting machines fail only in the conservative areas of Arizona?  Why does it take days to count ballots?  Was COVID all a grand hoax to derail Trump with mail-in ballots?  It seems possible.  There is no doubt that the 2020 election was stolen; did they steal this one too? 

Mark Zuckerberg spent $419 million, which enabled far-left activists to target specific key districts in swing states, redesign ballots to their advantage, overrule local elected officials on how elections were to be run, and even infiltrate sacrosanct electoral infrastructure.


In sum, while the I.R.S. authorities turned a blind eye  towards his illegal

activities Mark Zuckerberg used his  enormous wealth to help fix the 2020

presidential election  for Joe Biden — and the January 2021 Senate

runoff  races for Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, all the while  reducing

his own tax bill. Zuckerberg did this on the  pretext that he was simply

seeking to help ordinary  Americans find a way to participate safely in the

electoral  process during the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. Nothing  could

have been further from the truth. DAVID HOROWITZ  & JOHN PERAZZO


 Big media and Big Tech colluded to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.  A poll showed that nearly four of five Americans believe that “truthful” coverage would have changed the outcome of that election.

Cutting legal immigration levels in half to about 500,000 admissions a year, ending the process known as “chain migration” where naturalized citizens can sponsor an unlimited number of foreign relatives, ending the Diversity Visa Lottery that randomly gives out 55,000 visas a year, mandating E-Verify nationwide to screen out illegal aliens from the hiring process, ending low-skilled immigration, and massively curbing illegal immigration with increased border enforcement and swift deportation. REP. BARBARA JORDON

By failures of border security, a lack of the enforcement of our immigration laws from within  the interior of the United States and huge numbers of visas for high tech workers, the lives and livelihoods of Americans and their children, are being stolen by America’s corrupt political elite who are doing the bidding of those who provide them with huge “Campaign Contributions” (Orwellian euphemism for bribes) pursue legislation that is diametrically opposed to the best interests of America and Americans.

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

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.

Rudy Giuliani sums up what ultimate elite capture looks like, stating: “The Biden Family is owned by the Chinese Communist Party.”  


Dr. Robert Epstein: Google Is Influencing the Midterm Elections Using ‘Ephemeral Experiences’

Dr. Robert Epstein, a consistent enemy of Google’s election meddling plans and the senior research psychologist of the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, has recently published an article claiming that Google is once again attempting to shift votes leading into the midterm elections, but believes that there is a solution to this issue coming in the near future.

In an article published by the Daily Caller, Dr. Robert Epstein, a senior research psychologist at the American Institue for Behavioral Research and Technology, states that his research team is monitoring online political content directed at voters in swing states and believes that Google and other companies are attempting to shift opinion and voting preferences using “ephemeral experiences.”

Epstein explains:

We have so far preserved more than 1.9 million “ephemeral experiences” – exposure to short-lived content that impacts people and then disappears, leaving no trace – that Google and other companies are able to use to shift opinions and voting preferences, and we expect to have captured more than 2.5 million by Election Day. 

Epstein explains that ephemeral experiences were discussed by Google employees in emails leaked by the Wall Street Journal from 2018. The employees discussed how these experiences could be used to change people’s views about former President Donald Trump and his travel ban at the time.

In 2018, Epstein attended the Breitbart News event “Master of the Universe: Big Tech vs. Free Speech and Privacy,” where he discussed the control that Google and big tech firms have over the information users see, stating

“I did a piece for the Daily Callera piece I wrote with Ben Edelman of the Harvard School. We estimated that if these companies were all working together and supporting the same candidate, and really pulling out all the stops and using all the methods they have to manipulate, they could shift ten percent of the voting population of America with no one knowing that they had done this, and without leaving a paper trail for authorities to track,” Epstein said.

“Ten percent could be shifted. That’s a lot of votes, with no one knowing they had done this,” he remarked.

In his latest article, Epstein states that Google is up to the same tricks in 2022:

Our preliminary analyses of the data we have collected so far in 2022 are equally disturbing. In swing states, and especially in Wisconsin, Arizona, and Florida, we are finding a high level of liberal bias in Google search results, but not in search results on Bing (the same pattern we have found in every election since 2016). In several swing states, 92 percent of the autoplay videos being fed to YouTube users are coming from liberal news sources (YouTube is owned by Google). Unless Google backs down, it will shift hundreds of thousands of votes on Election Day itself with those brazen targeted go-vote reminders – and we will catch them doing so.

Epstein says that in an effort to track the influence of these big tech firms, by 2023 he will have a “digital shield” in place to combat Google and other Big Tech giants influencing elections using this technique:

And this time, we will continue to expand the monitoring system, and we will be monitoring content going not just to voters but also to America’s children. By late 2023, we will have a digital shield in place – a panel of more than 20,000 field agents in all 50 states – and we will shame Big Tech into staying clear of our elections and our kids for many years to come.

MRC: Google Manipulating GOP Campaign Sites Search Results, 'Interfering in Democratic Process'

(CNSNews.com) – The Media Research Center’s FreeSpeech America division conducted a study that caught Google burying 83% of Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites in comparison to their Democratic competitors, who appeared as the top searches in organic search results.

“Google must be investigated for its un-American efforts to sway the election,” L. Brent Bozell, founder and president of the Media Research Center, told Free Speech America.

“First, researchers caught Google red-handed by proving Republican campaign emails were sent to spam," said Bozell. "Now we’ve uncovered Google manipulating search results to hide Republican campaign websites while promoting Democratic ones. This is all an effort by Google to help Democrats and interfere in the democratic process.” 

The study was sparked by a March 2022 report by  North Carolina State University, which caught Google marking 59.3% more emails as spam from “right”-leaning candidates when compared to “left”-leaning candidates during the 2020 U.S. elections. 

FreeSpeech America looked at Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo search results this fall for the 12 Senate races identified as the most important to track, based on tracking by RealClearPolitics.

While researchers found that Google buried 10 of 12 of the Senate GOP candidates’ campaign websites, both Bing and DuckDuckGo presented both Republican and Democrat websites in a fairer manner. Except for two candidates, both parties’ campaign websites were in the top five organic search results on page one.

To perform the study as accurately as possible, FreeSpeech America used a “clean” computer with zero history or embedded cookies. The researchers did a keyword search on Oct. 7 of each candidates’ name followed by “Senate Race 2022.” 

“The Google results for North Carolina’s Senate candidates are an example of Google’s most egregious election interference," FreeSpeech America reported. "Republican Rep. Ted Budd’s campaign website did not appear anywhere on the first page of Google’s search results, while Democrat Cheri Beasley’s campaign website was the very first result."

“The hotly contested Ohio and Pennsylvania races tell a similar story," said the report.  "Ohio Democrat Rep. Tim Ryan’s campaign website appeared as the second Google search result, and Pennsylvania’s Democrat John Fetterman’s website appeared third.

"The kicker? The campaign websites of their respective Republican opponents, J.D. Vance of Ohio and Dr. Mehmet Oz of Pennsylvania were eliminated from the first page of Google search results.”

Websites of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and 2022 senatorial candidates Adam Laxalt (R-Nev.), Don Bolduc (R-N.H.) and Herschel Walker (R-Ga.) were also absent from the first page of Google results. 

“Seven of 12 Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites did not appear on page one using Google’s organic search. Meanwhile, eight of 12 Senate Democratic Party candidate campaign websites were highlighted in the top six items in organic search results,” FreeSpeech America found.

However, this is not the first time Google has been found showing favor to the Democratic Party. 

Google was involved with Hillary Clinton’s Latino vote win in the 2016 election, while former Google CEO Eric Schmidt funded the largest vendor of her campaign. Another example of the company’s left-leaning bias can be traced to its close relationship with the Obama administration. 
 
FreeSpeech America recommended that Google should provide transparency with its users and for Congress to take action by investigating the Google search result bias and any other hidden efforts to sway the outcome of the midterm elections.

Google's Parent’s Profits Plummet as Search Engine Ad Sales Miss Mark Amid Report Revealing Bias in Campaign Results

Google’s parent company, Alphabet, suffered a 27% drop in third-quarter net profit, as search engine ad sales failed to meet projections.

Alphabet also recorded a double-digit percent decline in net income, through the first nine months of the year, The Epoch Times reported Wednesday:

“Although third-quarter total revenues went up, from $65.1 to $69.1 billion, net income went down almost 27 percent, from $18.9 billion to $13.9 billion. Net income, year to date ended Sept. 30, declined by more than 16 percent. Analysts on average expected revenue to be $70.58 billion, based on Refinitiv data.”

“Google Services income, which includes ads, play store, and YouTube, registered a decline of more than 17 percent,” Epoch Times reported.

“Alphabet missed Wall Street's target for revenue growth in the third quarter as ad sales remained weak,” The New York Times reported Tuesday, noting that the company’s weak search ad sales for the quarter of $39.5 billion failed to hit the $41 billion level analysts expected.

As a result, at least 21 analysts cut their stock price expectations for Alphabet, according to Reuters.

Weak advertising sales aren’t the only thing hurting Alphabet’s bottom line, as Channel News reports:

“Google is also facing billions in fines from various corners of the globe, charged with everything from unfair market dominance in the app store world, to major privacy issues regarding its Incognito Search mode.”

What’s more, a new analysis by Media Research Center Free Speech America reveals that Google appears to be skewing its search engine results in favor of Democrats in order to affect the midterm elections in November.

“Anti-Democracy Google is manipulating search results to bury Senate Republican candidates’ campaign websites before the 2022 midterm elections,” the study, “Google CAUGHT Manipulating Search, Buries GOP Campaign Sites in 83% of Top Senate Races,” concludes.

Findings from the analysis, released this week, include:

  • Google buried Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites. Ten of 12 Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites (83%) appeared far lower (or did not appear at all) on page one of Google’s organic search results compared to their Senate Democratic Party opponents’ campaign websites.
  • Google completely hid seven of 12 Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites in page one organic search results. Seven of 12 Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites did not appear on page one using Google’s organic search. Meanwhile, eight of 12 Senate Democratic Party candidate campaign websites were highlighted in the top six items in organic search results.
  • Google’s search result bias is undeniable when compared to Bing and DuckDuckGo. With the exception of two candidates, both Bing and DuckDuckGo showed both the Senate Democratic Party candidates’ campaign websites and the Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites in the top five organic search results on page one. 

 

“Google must be investigated for its un-American efforts to sway the election,” Media Research Center President L. Brent Bozell said in a statement reacting to the findings:

“First, researchers caught Google red-handed by proving Republican campaign emails were sent to spam. Now we’ve uncovered Google manipulating search results to hide Republican campaign websites while promoting Democratic ones. This is all an effort by Google to help Democrats and interfere in the democratic process.” 

What would Meta layoffs mean for Zuckerberg’s bold metaverse plan?

The prospect of mass layoffs at Facebook's parent company could ramp up the pressure on CEO Mark Zuckerberg to deliver on the metaverse hype

The prospect of mass layoffs at Meta Platforms Inc. could ramp up the pressure on CEO Mark Zuckerberg to deliver on the metaverse hype.

Citing people familiar with the matter, the Wall Street Journal reports that Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc. META, -1.41% is planning to start large-scale layoffs this week — the first major cuts in the company’s 18-year history. Meta declined to comment when contacted by MarketWatch.

The tech giant had 87,314 employees at the end of September, a year-over-year increase of 28%. Earlier this year, the Verge reported that Meta’s Reality Labs division, which includes the metaverse, had over 17,000 employees.

Also readMeta takes another subtle step toward a much-hyped metaverse

Meta’s stock rose 4.6% during Monday’s session.

Layoffs, if they happen, could come at a critical time for the tech giant’s bold metaverse plan, which Zuckerberg has touted as the next era of social technology. According to Meta, the metaverse, by harnessing 3-D technology, will let users socialize, learn, collaborate and play.

Any layoffs will be closely scrutinized for their impact on Reality Labs, an area where Meta has been throwing its cash. If Reality Labs emerges relatively unscathed from layoffs, it will underline the company’s commitment to the metaverse — but will also increase the pressure to deliver on something that, at this stage, is more hype than reality.

Meta certainly appears to be prioritizing Reality Labs. The company spent $9.17 billion on research and development in the third quarter, up from $6.316 billion in the same period last year. The company said this was mainly driven by hiring within the Family of Apps and Reality Labs segments, as well as by development costs for Reality Labs technology. Reality Labs reported a third-quarter loss that widened to $3.672 billion from $2.631 billion in the same period last year.

Now readFacebook earnings cut in half, Meta stock sinks toward lowest prices in more than 6 years

But what if the metaverse strategy is completely misguided? “Mark Zuckerberg’s Metaverse bombs,” Mike Sington, a former senior executive at NBCUniversal, tweeted on Sunday.

Certainly, Wall Street has not been enamored with Meta’s recent performance as the tech giant nails its colors to the metaverse mast. Last month, Meta reported third-quarter earnings that sent the tech giant’s stock plummeting toward its largest weekly drop on record, losing more than 23% over the course of the week. The stock has fallen 71.8% this year and 44.2% over the last three months, outpacing the S&P 500 Index SPX, 0.31% declines of 20.6% and 8.6%, respectively, over the same periods.

The layoffs, if they materialize, would also come hot on the heels of major job cuts at Twitter, with the microblogging site slashing over half of its more than 7,500 employees last week. The Meta cuts would be smaller on a percentage basis than those announced at Twitter, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Speaking during the conference call to discuss the company’s recent third-quarter results, Zuckerberg said that in 2023, Meta will focus its investments on a small number of high-priority growth areas. “So that means some teams will grow meaningfully, but most other teams will stay flat or shrink over the next year,” he added. “In aggregate, we expect to end 2023 as either roughly the same size, or even a slightly smaller organization than we are today.”

OpinionApple, more than Meta, holds the key to unlocking a ‘metaverse’-type world of AR

While many people are still scratching their heads over Meta’s metaverse plan, there are big revenue opportunities in the broader virtual world, according to metaverse analyst firm DappRadar. Citing DappRadar research, the BBC reports that $1.93 billion in cryptocurrency has been spent buying virtual land in the metaverse over the past year. DappRadar told MarketWatch that the virtual lands are NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, and the expenditure over the past 12 months relates to “virtual land trading volume.”

Analysis conducted last year reveal that 71 percent of tech workers in

Silicon Valley are foreign-born, while the tech industry in the San

Francisco, Oakland, and Hayward area is made up of 50 percent

foreign-born tech workers.

Indian managers also duplicate the DHS’s H-1B visas to import additional, kickback-paying Indian workers, Aabha said:

They have been doing it openly and it’s all Indians, only Indians, because they are so desperate to move to the states. They’re so desperate to leave their country because they know they cannot work there. They know that they’re not going make so much money as they do here.

By failures of border security, a lack of the enforcement of our immigration laws from within  the interior of the United States and huge numbers of visas for high tech workers, the lives and livelihoods of Americans and their children, are being stolen by America’s corrupt political elite who are doing the bidding of those who provide them with huge “Campaign Contributions” (Orwellian euphemism for bribes) pursue legislation that is diametrically opposed to the best interests of America and Americans.

Report: Facebook Preparing Large-Scale Layoffs

(Reuters)—Meta Platforms Inc is planning to begin large-scale layoffs this week that will affect thousands of employees, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday citing people familiar with the matter, with an announcement planned as early as Wednesday.

Meta declined to comment on the WSJ report.

Facebook parent Meta in October forecasted a weak holiday quarter and significantly more costs next year wiping about $67 billion off Meta's stock market value, adding to the more than half a trillion dollars in value already lost this year.

The disappointing outlook comes as Meta is contending with slowing global economic growth, competition from TikTok, privacy changes from Apple, concerns about massive spending on the metaverse and the ever-present threat of regulation.

Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has said he expects the metaverse investments to take about a decade to bear fruit. In the meantime, he has had to freeze hiring, shutter projects and reorganize teams to trim costs.

"In 2023, we're going to focus our investments on a small number of high priority growth areas. So that means some teams will grow meaningfully, but most other teams will stay flat or shrink over the next year. In aggregate, we expect to end 2023 as either roughly the same size, or even a slightly smaller organization than we are today" Zuckerberg said on the last earnings call in late October.

The social media company had in June cut plans to hire engineers by at least 30%, with Zuckerberg warning employees to brace for an economic downturn.

Meta's shareholder Altimeter Capital Management in an open letter to Mark Zuckerberg had previously said the company needs to streamline by cutting jobs and capital expenditure, adding that Meta has lost investor confidence as it ramped up spending and pivoted to the metaverse.

Several technology companies, including Microsoft Corp, Twitter Inc, and Snap Inc have cut jobs and scaled back hiring in recent months as global economic growth slows due to higher interest rates, rising inflation, and an energy crisis in Europe.

Elon Musk, Tech CEOs, Fire Liberal Americans, but Few Foreign Workers

Elon Musk

16:30

Elon Musk and other Fortune 500 CEOs are firing thousands of U.S. tech employees — but are reportedly keeping thousands of cheap temporary workers who have been imported from India and China.

“There’s going to be [national origin] discrimination lawsuits against all these companies because they’re violating the civil rights of American professionals,” said Jay Palmer, an Alabama-based immigration and human trafficking expert. He added;

I’ve had 10 people contact me about a possible class action lawsuit … [because the CEOs] aren’t firing the H-1Bs. They’re firing the upper echelon managers and the Americans, and they’re keeping the H-1Bs in order to keep the costs down.

The news about American graduates losing their Fortune 500 jobs to foreign visa workers is a potential political problem for the Democratic Party.  The liberal graduates are needed to offset the GOP’s populist wave of blue-collar workers who have been alienated by cheap labor migration, rising crime, and painful inflation.

“The [political] question is ‘Do the [Biden-voting] graduates know that they’re being replaced, or that are not getting jobs because of the foreign workers that [President Joe Biden] is bringing in?'” said Rosemary Jenks, the director of government relations for NumbersUSA.

“I think Democrats are assuming that they don’t know,” she added.

Most — certainly not all — GOP leaders are content to let the CEOs hire visa workers in place of the very liberal U.S. tech graduates.

The displacement is being spotlighted by Twitter’s Elon Musk, who is firing almost 4,000 workers — or one-in-two Twitter employees — in the U.S. and overseas. Most of the purged workers are Americans — but some of his H-1B employees are getting fired:

The federal government rewards CEOs for keeping their cliquish and self-serving H-1B visa workers from India, China, and other countries.

“There are approximately 625 to 670 Twitter employees in H-1B status,” said a report in Forbes.com by a business-backed advocate, which described a long list of reasons for discarding the Americans before the visa workers:

Employers should be aware that laying off employees in H-1B status carries additional rules to follow. “When an employer lays off an H-1B visa holder, three obligations are triggered,” William Stock of Klasko Immigration Law Partners said in an interview via email.

Kevin Miner, a partner with Fragomen, notes additional considerations for employers. “Whenever there is an involuntary termination, the employer has to offer to pay the one-way air transportation for the worker to their home country or last country of permanent residence.”

report by MyVisaJobs.com showed that Twitter asked the federal government for 388 H-1B workers in 2022, and 1,118 H-1B workers in the prior three years. Roughly one-third of those workers are approved. The company has also nominated almost 200 foreigners for valuable green cards in exchange for their prior work.

Firing visa workers reduces the overall pool of workers available for the Fortune 500, the Forbes article noted. Fired visa workers are supposed to go home if they cannot get a replacement job within sixty days, or also give up their quest for green cards, the article suggested.

In reality, many H-1B workers get hired by other American companies or get different work permits via the no-limits Optional Practical Training Program. They can get also sweatshop jobs in the pyramids of foreign-owned subcontractors that lease cheap tech workers to Fortune 500 companies.

“Anyone who has gone to college to find employment in this field should be voting against the Democratic Party and voting for an American-first agenda,” said Kevin Lynn, founder of U.S. Tech Workers.  “The Democratic Party is pushing open borders and bringing in people that literally push out [Americans] from higher skilled jobs,” he said.

President Joe Biden’s immigration deputy is Alejandro Mayorkas, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

Mayorkas is a pro-migration zealot best known for inviting roughly 3 million blue-collar migrants through the southern U.S. border. His invitation has killed thousands of migrants and helped to wreck the Democrats’ poll ratings in 2022.

But Mayorkas has also delivered a huge inflow of foreign graduates into the careers needed by U.S. white-collar graduates.

Since early 2021, Mayorkas has shuttered pro-American reforms set by President Donald Trump, opened new routes for visa workers to take Americans’ jobs, and lengthened work permits for more foreign graduates of U.S. universities.

He lobbied to dramatically increase the inflow of visa workers, has also won a lawsuit that gives the White House seemingly unlimited authority to grant work permits to migrants who enroll in U.S. universities, and worked with the State Department to accelerate the flow of foreign workers.

Mayorkas has also shut down enforcement measures, dropped penalties for visa fraud, reduced deportations, and opened the door for foreign workers to take jobs after getting tourist visas. The resulting inflow of foreign workers has suppressed salaries paid to U.S. graduates, even as their housing costs spike and inflation erodes their consumer spending.

Mayorkas’ support for Fortune 500 companies gives a free hand to their investors and CEOs, including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

The Wall Street Journal reported on November 7:

[Zuckerberg announced]  in September that Meta was planning to cut expenses by at least 10% in the coming months, in part through staff reductions. The cuts expected to be announced this week follow several months of more targeted staffing reductions in which employees were managed out or saw their roles eliminated.

“Realistically, there are probably a bunch of people at the company who shouldn’t be here,” Mr. Zuckerberg told employees at a companywide meeting at the end of June.

Facebook has thousands of foreign workers. In October, Facebook accepted a small fine after the federal government showed widespread hiring discrimination against American graduates.

“One guy called me [from Facebook] and he told me that he and [several] others got laid off,” said Palmer, who works with migrants seeking legal status, and with lawyers who sue companies on behalf of victimized Americans.  “All of them are American citizens — even two Indian [immigrants] who are American citizens got laid off — the only people they kept were the [foreign] H-1Bs,” he said.

Similarly, the Irish-born CEO of Stripe, Patrick Collison announced he would be “reducing the size of our team by around 14%.” Stripe has approximately 300 to 350 H-1B workers, according to Forbes.

As tech CEOs discard their Democrat-voting professionals, many polls show Democrats need the voters of those professionals.

For example, white collars split 58 percent for Democrats and 37 percent for the GOP, while blue collars split 49 percent for the GOP and 40 percent for the Democrats, according to a September poll by the New York Times. Those numbers add up to a 30-point gap between the parties and the two classes.

On immigration issues, college graduates backed the Democrats over Republicans by 2o points — 56 percent to 36 percent — while blue collars backed the GOP over Democrats by 48 percent to 38 percent. Those numbers add up to another 30-point class gap between the two parties.

Nationwide, there are at least 1.5 million visa workers in white-collar jobs around the United States. This “Greencard Workforce” is cheap because the workers are paid low salaries and the hope of winning the huge deferred bonus of U.S. green cards.

These workers hold jobs with their H-1B visas, or with L-1, J-1, OPT, or H4EAD documents. But many work illegally after arriving with B-1/B-2 tourist visas.

This huge disposable workforce is valuable for the Fortune 500 because it allows managers to quickly hire and fire blocs of cheap subcontract workers. The pyramids of contractors are especially profitable because layers of managers can skim and share much of their foreign workers’ salaries.

Fortune 500 companies can import H-1Bs and pay them lower salaries posting them to lower-wage cities, such as Fargo, North Dakota.

The workforce policy also trains many foreign graduates, so helping U.S. investors to move white-collar jobs to low-wage India, China, and other countries.

The visa workforce also allows CEOs to sideline American professionals who demand more attention be paid to products’ security, privacy, reliability, and compliance with federal law.

The green card workforce also minimizes the career development of skilled American professionals who may launch new technologies and services that take revenue from existing Fortune 500 companies.

The bottom-line benefits of the visa workers are multiplied 20-fold in the stock market. Stock values — and executive bonuses — are inflated when stock-pickers are confident that companies’ labor costs remain low. In 2020, for example, advocates complained that Trump’s temporary bar against the inflow of new visa workers had chopped $100 billion off Fortune 500 stock values.

But the CEO’s eagerness to sideline American professionals has hidden costs.

For example, the exclusion of American professionals reduces the companies’ focus on long-term research, quality, security, accuracy, and safety. “It’s all upside to the corporations in the short run because the goal is to improve earnings per share,” said Lynn. “In the long run, it hurts innovation, it hurts productivity, [workplace] security, and national security,” he added.

That workplace shift deeply damaged companies such as IntelBoeing, and Theranos.

The replacement is happening in a very wide variety of jobs needed by American graduates, including in scienceSilicon Valleyjournalismfashion, and healthcare.

Visa workers cannot be professionals because they are not free to switch jobs, but are indentured to their cliques’ shared campaign to get green cards, said Lynn:

When you have a clique within your company, you open up opportunities for fraud, waste, and abuse … What you want is a well-integrated workforce free of cliques. What we have seen time and time again, is that when H-1Bs — particularly, H-1Bs from India — become more than a third of the workers in a company, you have a clique without transparency into day-to-day operations … You want to make sure that your workers share your interests, and you’re going to get that with the citizen professionals, and you’re going to have a more diverse and more interesting workplace.

Musk should ensure his “the interests of his workers should be congruent with his goal of democratizing journalism and empowering people — and you can’t do that when your workers are indentured servants,” said Lynn.

Corporate officials say H-1B workers are needed to fill empty slots. But that the claims of a shortage are debunked by data showing that tech workers’ salaries have remained flat for years.

Dice.com collects data on technology workers’ salaries. In 2019, the site showed that U.S. tech workers’ wages had dropped in value from 2009 to 2018 because inflation had exceeded the wage gains. The salaries had risen from $78,845 in 2009 to $93,244 in 2018, slightly below the inflation rate.

And a 2021 study by the Census Bureau reported:

The vast majority (62%) of [American] college-educated workers who majored in a STEM [science, technology, engineering and math] field were employed in non-STEM fields such as non-STEM management, law, education, social work, accounting or counseling. In addition, 10% of STEM college graduates worked in STEM-related occupations such as health care.

The path to STEM jobs for non-STEM majors was narrow. Only a few STEM-related majors (7%) and non-STEM majors (6%) ultimately ended up in STEM occupations.

Many U.S. journalists help to hide the green card workforce from their own families, peers, and relatives by focusing their emotions on the preferences of migrants.

Also, most — but not all — U.S. professionals are cowed by the establishment’s claim that they must live in a “Nation of Immigrants.”

But some Americans are fighting back with lawsuits that show how hands-off U.S. CEOs allow foreign-born managers to corruptly sell skilled Americans’ jobs and careers to eager visa workers.

“I have seen the system in the backend, and it is so appalling to see that there is so much [resume] forgery being done, there’s so much of corruption being done, that it is almost to the level back in India,” Aabha, an Indian in North Carolina, told Breitbart News in November 2021.

Aabha continued:

I have met so many [American] people who are graduates and so much more knowledgeable than the Indians that I see in my regular [work]day — and they are [saying] like “Okay, because we are not experienced, we are not getting [technology] jobs.” So they decide to do a blue collar job. They’re walking into Walmart, they’re walking into Best Buy. And these Indians, the team that I work with, they cannot even speak a single sentence in English without making any mistakes.

Indian-run subcontractors and visa workers can forge resumes and technical credentials because U.S. employers “do not really do background verification unless and until they hire you as a full-time employee,” Aabha said, adding:

Just in case the [U.S.] employers need to check, the [Indian subcontractors] create one small office in India, they take a rental apartment in India, they put poor people there, they [instruct them to say]  “If you get any calls, tell them that this person has experience.” That it. It’s as simple as that.

Indian managers also duplicate the DHS’s H-1B visas to import additional, kickback-paying Indian workers, Aabha said:

They have been doing it openly and it’s all Indians, only Indians, because they are so desperate to move to the states. They’re so desperate to leave their country because they know they cannot work there. They know that they’re not going make so much money as they do here.

Once hired at U.S. wage rates, untrained Indian software workers pay qualified Indians in India to do the actual work on their U.S. computer at Indian wage rates, regardless of U.S. privacy and secrecy laws, Aabha said:

I’ve seen people working [for the] Bank of America [as] they take support from India. I’ve seen people working [for] Wells Fargo taking support from India …The person there in India will guide [them] via Zoom or by via video call and they will get the work done.

Many government reports, lawsuits, and articles say that India’s workplace culture is far more distrustful and grasping than Americans’ ideal of high-trust, dispassionate professionalism. Breitbart News has covered these developments herehere,  herehere, and here.

But the imported Indian workplace culture is increasingly dominant in U.S. Fortune 500 companies, in part, because it matches the ruthless worldview of Wall Street investors, another U.S worker told Breitbart News.

“The fact of the matter is, the people on Wall Street don’t care — they want the bottom line,” he said.

“This corporatocracy has chosen not to invest in Americans and America, but rather to exploit Americans and in the long run, to bring great harm to America,” said Lynn.

J.D. Vance: New Congress Must Go After Corporations Replacing Americans with Foreign H-1B Visa Workers
MIDDLETOWN, OH - OCTOBER 19: Republican U.S. Senate candidate JD Vance speaks with supporters in his hometown at the Butler County GOP headquarters on October 19, 2022 in Middletown, Ohio.

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Republican J.D. Vance says a new Congress must reverse a policy that allows corporations to replace American professionals, often in high-paying STEM jobs, with cheaper foreign workers on the H-1B visa program.

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Saturday, the Ohio Senate candidate blasted a plan by OhioHealth where nearly 640 American tech and finance employees are being laid off and having their jobs sent to Accenture — a Fortune 500 multinational corporation notorious for importing foreign H-1B visa workers to replace Americans in white-collar jobs.

The interview took place over lunch after Vance’s second campaign stop for the day in Chillicothe — roughly 100 miles outside of Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Buckeye State Republican was making a swing through the southeast part of the state to channel his Appalachian roots with two weeks left in the race. Throughout the day, Vance, vying for the open United States Senate seat, visited Gallipolis in Gallia County, Chillicothe in Brown County, and Mt. Orab in Ross County.

While speaking with Breitbart News over a Mad Dog sandwich at 7 Mile Smokehouse, Vance spoke on a number of issues including what he calls the “bipartisan … big mistake” of shipping American jobs to China and, in some cases, Mexico, as well as crime, the U.S.-Mexico border, and inflation, which he attributes mainly to the Democrats shutting down American energy.

On the OhioHealth layoffs, set to occur early next month and continue through the beginning of 2023, Vance said federal law must be overhauled to ensure corporations like OhioHealth are not allowed to replace their American employees via third-party outsourcing firms like Accenture.

Generally speaking, a lot of the H-1B abuse we see is in the interests of the people hiring the [foreign visa] worker, who can undercut the wages of Americans, but is it in the interest of the 700 Ohioans who lost their jobs? Absolutely not,” Vance told Breitbart News.

“This is one of these issues where you actually need public policy to solve this problem because they’re taking advantage of a visa system that’s meant to ensure that American companies have the workers that they need, it’s not meant to undercut the wages of American workers in this country,” Vance continued. “Unfortunately, that’s what the H-1B visa is just being used to do right now.”

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), whom Vance is running against, has for years voted to increase foreign competition in the labor market that working and middle class Americans are forced to compete against.

“My argument to [Tim] Ryan is the legislature creates these policies that allow these companies to take advantage of American workers, the only real solution is for the legislature to make different policies,” Vance said. “I really think we have to cut down on the abuse of the H-1B visa system.”

The outsourcing-offshoring business model has proven extremely lucrative for Fortune 500 companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, JP Morgan Chase, and others as they often contract with “body shop” firms like Cognizant, Tata Consulting Services, Infosys, Accenture, IBM, and Capgemini to lay off their American employees and replace them with tens of thousands of foreign H-1B visa workers primarily from India.

Accenture, for instance, sought to import more than 3,800 foreign H-1B visa workers this year alone. In 2021, Accenture sought to bring 6,200 foreign H-1B visa workers to the U.S. to take white-collar American jobs.

While being laid off, Americans are often forced to train their foreign H-1B visa replacements. If they do not, in most cases, their employer withholds their severance package. There are about 650,000 foreign H-1B visa workers in the U.S. at any given moment.

In Ohio, alone, firms and corporations including Cognizant, Tata Consulting Services, Accenture, and JP Morgan Chase were allowed to fill more than 9,700 American white-collar professional jobs with foreign H-1B visa workers this year.

Vance said “the first principle” of national immigration policy ought to “be about defending the interests of America and America’s workers” rather than corporate special interests.

“The question when we allow a new person to come to America should be, ‘Is this in the interests of the people who live here? Or is this in the interests of some narrow, multinational corporate interests?'” Vance told Breitbart News.

Economic Policy Institute research has shown that most corporations importing foreign H-1B visa workers are making significant savings in wages paid by doing so.

Likewise, internal documents from the India-based HCL Technologies body shop firm have detailed how the company grows its profit margins by hiring cheaper foreign H-1B visa workers over American professionals who have worked in the tech industry for years.

Last year, Facebook reached two settlements with the federal government after it was sued for discriminating against qualified American professionals and graduates in favor of imported foreign H-1B visa workers.

Though Vance is one of only a couple of Republicans to speak on H-1B visa abuse this election cycle, the GOP base, swing voters, and a majority of Americans — for years — have said U.S. employers should boost wages and offer better benefits to attract Americans for jobs rather than being allowed to import foreign visa workers whenever possible.

The latest Rasmussen Reports survey on the issue shows that 57 percent of American adults, 65 percent of Republicans, and nearly 6-in-10 swing voters say companies should raise their pay and try harder to recruit Americans for blue-collar and white-collar jobs over the federal government subsidizing them with foreign labor year after year.

Elon Musk: Vote Republican in Midterms to ‘Curb Excesses’ of Democrats

Elon Musk celebrates Texas

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and — to the chagrin of the left — the new owner of Twitter, called on independent voters to back Republicans in tomorrow’s midterm elections to contain the excesses of the Democrat party.

“To independent-minded voters: shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic,” said Musk in a tweet.

“Hardcore Democrats or Republicans never vote for the other side, so independent voters are the ones who actually decide who’s in charge!”

Musk is a recent convert to the Republican party, and says he cast his first-ever ballot for a Republican candidate when he voted for Mayra Flores in her successful bid to represent Texas’s 34th Congressional District in a special election for the seat this summer.

Via Breitbart News’ Lucas Nolan:

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk stated in a tweet in the early hours of Wednesday that he voted for Republican candidate Mayra Flores in the recent special election for Texas’s 34th Congressional District, also predicting a “massive red wave in 2022.” Following her historic win, Flores responded to Musk saying, “Welcome to the Republican Party! We welcome all walk aways from all walks of life. The party of opportunity, prosperity, and freedom is here to stay. We look forward to working together and building a better future for all of America.”

In a recent tweet, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk stated that he voted for Republican candidate Mayra Flores in the Texas 34th Congressional District special election. Flores won the election, flipping a seat that has been under Democratic control for four decades.

Although Musk claims he is voting Republican, he insists he is a moderate, opposed to the extreme wings of both the left and right. If he sticks to his statement that shared power is fundamentally good, it could mean he would not back a Republican candidate for President if the GOP takes control of the Senate and House of Representatives tomorrow.

Under Biden, FTC Chair Lina Khan and Justice Department antitrust chief Jonathan Kanter are largely against Big Tech from a competition standpoint — but are actively hostile to online free speech, with no plans to address widespread public complaints about out-of-control censorship.

Jen Psaki Tries to Dodge Deposition in Big Tech Censorship Lawsuit

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki is attempting to quash a subpoena requiring her to testify in a lawsuit brought by the Republican attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana alleging the federal government colluded with tech companies to suppress the First Amendment rights of Americans.

The Department of Justice is also arguing that Psaki should not be required to testify.

Via Reclaim the Net:

Psaki has in the past admitted that the Biden administration was flagging people’s speech to social media platforms.

The DOJ argued that Psaki’s deposition would result in a debate over executive privilege considering she was a top adviser to President Joe Biden.

The DOJ lawyer said: “If permitted to proceed, the deposition of Ms. Psaki would inevitably set the Executive and Judicial Branches ‘on a collision course’ through adjudications of executive privilege, thrusting the court into ‘the awkward position of evaluating the Executive’s claims of confidentiality and autonomy,’ and ‘difficult questions of separation of powers and checks and balances’ would quickly be pushed to the fore.”

Courts have not been convinced by arguments that members of the executive branch should not be required to testify. Last month, a judge ordered Dr. Anthony Fauci and other White House officials to testify in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit, brought by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry. The case has already revealed widespread collusion between the White House and tech companies, including regular meetings between social media executives and the Department of Homeland Security to discuss the online censorship of Americans.

According to the material obtained via the lawsuit, DHS planned to recommend censorship of Americans on a wide range of topics, including  “the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, racial justice, U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the nature of U.S. support to Ukraine.”

Who has really been running our country?

On the day that Joe Biden was sworn into office, he signed dozens of extensively radical executive orders.  Then the Biden administration began populating the federal government and the federal Judiciary — including the new Supreme Court vacancy — with hundreds (probably thousands) of the most extreme anti-American people imaginable. 

The administration has re-crafted an enormous number of laws and regulations — often illegally — to push the hard-left, woke, LGBT agendas throughout business, government, education, and society in general.  U.S. foreign policy, including the hideous abandonment in Afghanistan and unhinged Ukrainian response, has clearly been coordinated to weaken America and strengthen our enemies.  Our military is being emasculated — and proselytized to consider patriotic Americans as the enemy.

The Biden administration ignores our immigration laws and welcomes millions of illegal aliens to swarm across our southern border, and then methodically ships them to cities across the country (and even gives them cell phones to use).

The administration's aggressive "green new deal" is paralyzing our transportation system and causing crippling inflation never seen in this country before.  Federal agencies, spearheaded by the Justice Department and FBI, have viciously become weaponized against conservatives, at the same time allowing "Antifa" and other left-wing hoodlum groups to terrorize citizens at will.

As many have observed, it's a controlled demolition of America.

All of this destruction is being attributed by our political establishment to a man with obvious dementia who can barely read through a single sentence on a teleprompter, can't remember names, and cannot discuss anything of substance. 

Republicans and conservatives love to beat up on Joe Biden.  It makes great campaign fundraising rhetoric.  But nobody can possibly believe that Biden in his perpetual mental fog actually planned any of this, wrote any of it, ordered it, or even knows any details about it.

And let's not forget that Biden became president not by actually campaigning, but through a massively coordinated effort involving billions of dollars and the most powerful corporations and political organizers in America to subvert the U.S. election process.

No prominent Republican politician is willing to publicly ask — and demand answers to — the obvious question: who is really doing all of this, using Biden as a mindless front man?

And why should they?  Biden is a great political punching bag.  Bringing up the hard question could have uncomfortable consequences — especially in this political climate.

This is not conjecture.  A friend of mine who is involved in D.C. political circles had the opportunity this past year to ask that question — who is really running the country? — to a Republican congressman and a U.S. senator, both prominent conservatives.  Both of them nervously dodged the question and insisted that "taking on Joe Biden" is what the GOP needs to do.

So who is the power behind the curtain?  A lot of people say it's Barack Obama, or maybe Susan Rice.  But the truth is that neither of them is capable of orchestrating something on this scale.  Obama never really got anywhere on his own, and Susan Rice is a middleweight at best.

This has all the fingerprints of the Soros organization.  The people there are extremely intelligent and proficient, they passionately hate America, they've been leading up to this for several decades, and they have access to untold wealth and influence.  Everything mentioned above is something they are more than capable of organizing and carrying out.

But most of this couldn't have been accomplished during Biden's first two years without the cooperation of the 50 Democrat U.S. senators and the Democrat majority in the House.  And then there are the cowardly Republicans in both houses, including the leadership, who consistently put up a "gentlemanly" fight that is destined to lose.

Right now, job number one is openly exposing the "shadow government" that is really running America, and doing everything possible to drive them completely out.  Seeing what is happening now (and learning from the past), it is not an exaggeration to say that we are all on a freight train headed to hell.  If we don't derail it soon, there will eventually be no turning back.

Big Tech’s Paid Advocates Redirect Antitrust Efforts Against Smaller Companies

The Biden Administration’s FTC and DOJ have signaled an aggressive antitrust strategy against Big Tech, but there are growing concerns that the efforts are being redirected, not against monopolies but against smaller companies trying to compete with them.

During the Obama Administration, Google exerted enormous power over antitrust policy at the Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department due to their close ties and donations to the Obama administration, as well as a revolving door of administration officials with the tech monopoly.

Under Biden, FTC Chair Lina Khan and Justice Department antitrust chief Jonathan Kanter are largely against Big Tech from a competition standpoint — but are actively hostile to online free speech, with no plans to address widespread public complaints about out-of-control censorship.

Big Tech has been attempting to turn the nascent antitrust efforts to its advantage, by redirecting the progressive left’s efforts to target companies and causes that do them no damage or help them, particularly on issues like “net neutrality” and intellectual property.

An illustrative example is a recent  letter by a Google-funded professor and think tank to Assistant AG Kanter demanding antitrust enforcement against relatively small companies. The letter is described as being signed by “28 former government enforcement officials, professors, and public interest advocates.” It appears on the SSRN page for Alex Moss of the Public Interest Patent Law Institute and Professor Michael Carrier of Rutgers Law School, who was also an advisor to Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign. The metadata of the PDF shows Prof. Carrier is the author.

The Public Interest Patent Law Institute is an obscure organization with Moss as just one of two listed staff members. However, Moss also serves as a special advisor to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which also signed on to the letter. EFF has received millions of dollars from Google over the years to defend the tech giant on intellectual property, Section 230 reform, net neutrality, and censorship practices.

imilarly Michael Carrier has acknowledged $40,000 dollars in direct support of funding from Google specifically to study “copyright secondary liability and innovation.” Carrier has subsequently filed numerous briefs supporting Google’s positions on intellectual property issues.

Public Knowledge, who also signed the letter, publicly acknowledges it receives at least $50,000 a year from Google as well as Microsoft and Netflix. Other Big Tech-funded signers include Former FTC Chairman and George Mason Law professor Tim Murris.

He once co-wrote a law review article defending Amazon against antitrust claims, but later admitted the article was entirely funded by Amazon. Former FTC lawyer David Balto who has disclosed he “published research and authored scholarship for Google on technology policy topics” also signed the letter.

It may seem odd that pro-Big Tech authors are encouraging the Justice Department to strengthen antitrust enforcement. However, rather than address the trillion-dollar Big Tech monopolies, they are concerned about a small patent licensing platform called Avanci SEP which licenses certain wireless technology for automobiles. Avanci fought off an antitrust complaint from the German auto parts company Continental earlier this year.

The Google funded-scholar’s letter about this lawsuit complains that Avanci may increase its “license rates from $15 to $20 per car.” Whatever the merits of this argument, a five dollar increase in cars which sell for tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars doesn’t seem to warrant much attention.

However, Big Tech is afraid that stronger IP protections will keep them from being able to infringe. In fact, Apple filed an amicus brief in this case. Google’s own lawyers have  acknowledged, “Google’s leadership doesn’t care terribly much about precedent or law” when it infringes on others’ IP.

As Trump’s top internet advisor Adam Candeub has noted in other contexts, when Google funds academics to weaken intellectual property laws, it is not about  helping “small tech companies compete but letting Big Tech companies ignore the law to continue their dominance.”

This is just the latest example of Silicon Valley using liberal academics to push its agenda to ignore the law while claiming to promote competition.

Biden Admin to Investigate Guy They Disapprove Of Buying Twitter

"A growing number of Biden allies have in recent days clamored for CFIUS to investigate"

2

Is this the post-contempt phase of corrupt totalitarian politics that sets in, in banana republics when there are zero expectations of anything except corrupt criminality by the powers at the top?

Why yes, I think it is.

U.S. exploring whether it has authority to review Musk’s Twitter deal – Washington Post

U.S.? Is that what we’re calling a partisan faction abusing its authority for political gain?

Does anyone seriously believe that the Biden administration would be investigating Elon Musk’s Twitter buy if t were say, Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos or if Musk were a reliable vote and committed to suppressing opposition speech?

That revelation comes as Treasury Department officials begin looking into whether they have the legal authority to start an investigation into the purchase because of Musk’s ties to foreign governments and investors, people familiar with those discussions said…

White House officials also previously discussed the possibility of a national security review of the acquisition, according to another person. Additionally, officials at the FBI looked into the potential counterintelligence risks posed by the deal this past spring, according to two people familiar with the inquiry — though it is not clear whether the matter has been studied by senior officials at the bureau or if those discussions are still active. All the people spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss matters they were not authorized to disclose publicly.

So the White House, the FBI and Treasury? Also known as the Biden administration looking for any angle to secure control over a key social media outlet again. Perhaps these folks might want to look into TikTok, which I hear is run by our enemies. Instead, Biden is being promoted by the Democrats on TikTok. But let’s skip forward to saying the quiet part out loud.

The U.S. government’s preliminary attempts to scrutinize the Twitter deal comes as the billionaire introduces new changes to the structure of one the world’s most powerful communication platforms…

A growing number of Biden allies have in recent days clamored for CFIUS to investigate how these nations could influence Musk.

So it’s about the politics.

Launching investigations of companies for partisan political gain would seem to be illegal and an impeachable offense.

FNC’s Carlson: Democrats ‘Need’ Censorship to Hold onto Power

28:00

Monday, FNC host Tucker Carlson suggested Democrats and the media were using the attack on Paul Pelosi to call for censorship as Elon Musk is now the owner of Twitter, and Democrats gripe about other media outlets that run counter to their narrative.

According to Carlson, without censorship, Democrats struggle to maintain their grip on power.

Transcript as follows:

CARLSON: We’ve been watching this story all weekend with growing bewilderment. Last Friday morning, as you know, around 2:00 AM, police arrived at the home of the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. It’s in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. Inside the home, they found Pelosi’s 82- year-old husband, Paul, and another man, 40 years younger, called David DePape. Nancy Pelosi was out of town at the time.

In full view of the police, DePape hit Paul Pelosi in the head two times with a hammer. Both Pelosi and DePape were then taken immediately to a local hospital — Pelosi for his head injuries and DePape for reasons that are still not clear. DePape was later charged in Federal Court with assault and attempted kidnapping.

At this point, that’s what we can say for certain. David DePape assaulted Paul Pelosi with a hammer. Apparently, DePape has admitted that in police custody, but beyond those facts, there was much in the story that remains muddy.

How, for example, did DePape get inside the Pelosi home? That’s the first question. Last year, ABC News reported what you already guessed, which is that Pelosi has round-the-clock protection at her houses. “She has her own security. She has the Capitol Police. They fly all the way out here from Washington, DC with her.”

And yet in this case, San Francisco DA Brooke Jenkins says that there was no security present at the Pelosi home on Friday night. And that’s pretty strange because according to multiple accounts, even when Pelosi isn’t at home, her houses are well-guarded. Again, as you would expect.

Our friend Harmeet Dhillon told us that when her firm recently tried to serve a lawsuit against Paul Pelosi at various properties he owns, all of them were guarded by “multiple law enforcement officers on the perimeter.”

So how did DePape, get past security that apparently wasn’t there? And why wasn’t it there if, in fact, it wasn’t? We know he got inside and once he was inside, what exactly happened next? Well, accounts of that are changing.

At the first press conference on Friday, San Francisco Police suggested there was a third person in the home when police arrived and POLITICO dutifully reported that, “Officers arrived at the house, knocked on the front door and were led inside by an unknown person.” In other words, by a person who was not David DePape or Paul Pelosi.

Now, POLITICO never formally corrected this claim. Instead, just two days later, POLITICO, the same publication, attacked anyone who repeated its own reporting as a crazed conspiracy monger: “Pro-Trump commentators weighed in online to raise questions about the investigation based on unfounded and false claims. Among those baseless claims that a third person answered the door when police arrived at the Pelosi home.”

Okay. Three separate adjectives, knocking down that idea, but the question remains, was there a third person at the home? We don’t know, but it’s not crazy to assume there was.

Here is how today’s charging documents described the scene inside the house: “When the door was opened, Pelosi and DePape were both holding a hammer with one hand and DePape had his other hand holding on to Pelosi’s forearm. Pelosi greeted the officers. The officers asked them what was going on. DePape responded, Everything was good.”

So, it is an awful scene in some ways, but here’s the critical clause: “When the door was opened.” Well, opened by whom? Common sense suggests it probably couldn’t have been Pelosi or DePape who opened it. They were locked in a life-or-death drama, a struggle, over a hammer.

The documents filed today assert that Paul Pelosi had never seen David DePape before, yet in Pelosi’s 9-1-1 call he knew DePape’s first name and apparently referred to him as a friend. Here’s the audio. This is from a dispatcher relaying Paul Pelosi’s call.

(BEGIN AUDIO CLIP)

DISPATCH AUDIO: RP (reporting person) stated that there was a male in the home and that he is going to wait for his wife. RP stated that he doesn’t know who the male is, but he advised that his name is David and that he is a friend.

(END AUDIO CLIP)

CARLSON: So, what does that mean exactly? Well, again, we don’t know, and we can’t know. We do know that anyone who has ever met Paul Pelosi can tell you he is an awfully nice man. He is warm and he is friendly, and he certainly didn’t deserve to be hit in the head with a hammer. It’s horrifying that he was.

But as long as this is a news story with public policy implications, and unfortunately, that’s what it has become, it is fair to ask the obvious questions, as you would, about any other violent crime that occurs in America, and especially this one, since so many facts, basic facts seem to be in dispute.

Local KTVU investigative reporter Evan Sernoffsky, for example, initially reported that DePape was “found in underwear” when police arrived. Today, Sernoffsky made a specific point of retracting that claim. “I’m now told by other sources that DePape was not dressed only in his underwear.”

Well, okay, fair enough. We’d be satisfied with either explanation, not really our business. But you can’t blame (and this is the point), you can’t blame people watching all of this at home for thinking that maybe there’s something weird going on here. Parts of the official account don’t seem to make any sense.

So, the solution, obviously, is to release the police bodycam footage from last Friday. That’s often done immediately in cases like this, cases that attract heavy public scrutiny. Transparency restores the public’s faith in the system. It is the only thing that does. In fact, that’s the whole point of bodycams, to reassure people that they can really know what happened. Transparency is the antidote to “misinformation.”

On the other hand, if you want people to fall headfirst into crazed conspiracy theories, then you would keep lying and hiding things, and yet for some reason, the San Francisco Police Department is refusing to release Friday’s bodycam video. We learned that today when we filed a records request. “No chance,” they said.

So, until we see that tape, there is a lot that we cannot know, but the main question tonight, (one that’s going to affect your life going forward because this story will affect your life), the question is, who exactly is David DePape?

Many in the media seem studiously uninterested. They don’t really want to know. At a police press conference last week, a reporter was caught on a hot mic being instructed by someone not to discuss DePape in any great detail. So, it was left in the end to a journalist who doesn’t work for a big media outlet, independent reporter, Michael Shellenberger, to fill in some of the blanks.

Shellenberger first did the obvious. He went to where DePape was living, across the Bay in Berkeley. You’re seeing an image of it on your screen right now.

Apparently, DePape was camping full-time in a dilapidated Ken Kesey-style school bus, complete with a gay pride flag out front and a sign that reads “Berkeley Stands Against Hate.” Behind the bus hangs a BLM banner. So, politically, this picture could not be clearer. You know where this guy stands.

But Shellenberger and others kept digging. They found that DePape was, in fact, well known in the area, in the entire Bay Area, as a hallucinogenic drug enthusiast and a semiprofessional nudist. He often appeared at nudist themed events.

Does David DePape have a prior criminal history? That’s an obvious question and perhaps a relevant one. But we can’t answer it because, once again, authorities in San Francisco have refused to tell us or anyone else.

We do know that the people around David DePape believe that he was completely deranged. The ones who knew him best thought that. “The San Francisco Chronicle” interviewed his ex-girlfriend, who reported that DePape is mentally ill and struggles with drugs.

For example, he once thought he was “Jesus for a year. He’s never been able to hold a job,” said the former girlfriend. “He has been homeless. This person really does suffer from mental illness and that is probably why he was there at 2:00 AM.” She described him as a “broken child in an adult body with serious mental problems.”

DePape’s neighbors, who would know, said more or less the same thing.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

REPORTER: Anything strange about him or anything that stood out?

TRISH, DAVID DEPAPE’S NEIGHBOR: There is something strange about the whole household. The entire household is very, very strange.

REPORTER: How about him?

TRISH: He is birds of a feather with — akin to them. So, they are just, you know, nudist drug abusers and that’s who gravitates toward them.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: So, just another homeless, mentally ill drug addict with a fondness for BLM. That’s not quite so unusual in San Francisco.

Oh, and there’s one other highly unsurprising thing about David DePape. He’s also an illegal alien.

Today, Fox’s Bill Melugin learned that DePape, who is originally from Canada, has long overstayed his visa, so he is currently in this country illegally.

So, to restate, the perpetrator in this violent crime against Paul Pelosi is a mentally ill, drug addicted illegal alien nudist who takes hallucinogens and lives in a hippie school bus in Berkeley with a BLM banner and a pride flag out front.

So, take those uncontested facts and let them rattle around your brain for a moment until a recognizable pattern emerges. What does this sound like to you?

If you guessed, this is obviously a textbook case of homegrown right-wing extremism, well, then, obviously, you’ve been watching a lot of cable news today. Here’s a selection:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN ANCHOR: Is this political violence, in your opinion?

JOHN MILLER, CNN CHIEF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND INTELLIGENCE ANALYST: It seems to be clear that the content of his social media and the statements he allegedly made about “Where is Nancy? We’re going to wait for Nancy,” certainly points in that direction.

TIFFANY CROSS, MSNBC HOST: It seems like there’s this effort to normalize this kind of behavior and to make Trumpers feel at home and prioritize their feelings.

JEFF ZELENY, CNN CHIEF NATIONAL AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT: This is about election denialism. What has happened over the last two years has seeped into the minds and the thoughts of some unstable people.

MIKA BRZEZINSKI, MSNBC HOST: Deranged right-wing fanatics, Trump Media allies and some of the most powerful people in the world were feverishly trying to stir up conspiracy theories that distracted from the central political headline of this story that years of Republican propaganda and Trump fueled fascism led 42-year-old David DePape to break into Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: Well, to be fair, the fact that Mika Brzezinski has a high-paying job does give rise to conspiracy theories. I mean, in a fair society, how could that happen? But it has.

The bottom line is, ladies and gentlemen, the mentally ill, homeless, illegal alien, drug addict who lives in a painted school bus in Berkeley with a BLM flag is actually, despite all appearances, another member of Donald Trump’s QAnon army.

As CNN commentator David Axelrod put it, “Far-right conspiracy theories are to blame here.” And of course, Jen Rubin at “The Washington Post” accused right-wing Republicans of “inciting violence” against the Pelosi family using this illegal alien, homeless guy on drugs. “The far-right demonized Pelosi and that led to the attack,” read a banner on MSNBC.

So, on what grounds, other than political desperation, are they saying things like this? Well, according to some reports, the homeless, mentally ill, drug addicted, illegal alien David DePape somehow maintained websites with right-wing content on them.

One of these sites was apparently called frenlyfrens.com and the strange thing about that website is that the web address for it was registered back in September, but there is content on the site that is backdated to August and internet archiving services didn’t register any content from that blog, apparently David DePape’s blog, until October 28th. That was the day of DePape’s attack on Paul Pelosi.

On October 28, frenlyfrens.com suddenly included a bunch of incoherent posts about UFOs and Peter Navarro. I’m not making that up. Those are the facts. What do they mean? Well, it’s a right-wing conspiracy, obviously. Better indict Marjorie Taylor Greene for the crime.

So, keep in mind, as you shake your head at bewilderment at all of this, that the Midterm Elections are next Tuesday and Democrats are in trouble, and they believe the attack on Paul Pelosi might help them.

As Margaret Brennan explained over on CBS, because a mentally ill illegal alien attacked Nancy Pelosi’s husband, it is now immoral to criticize the leader of the Democrats a week before an election. Savor this.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MARGARET BRENNAN, CBS NEWS HOST: Republican candidates have more than $116 million on ads that mentioned Speaker Pelosi by name in this cycle.

If this is about the issues, why shouldn’t make it about the issues? We are eight days out. Don’t you think this needs to change? Why not pull some of these ads.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: “Why do you make it about the issues?” Said the lady who spent four years screaming about Donald Trump, the man. It’s hilarious and brazen and shameless and the second the Midterms are over, they’ll stop.

But the point is, as always, all the journalists — journalists — got the same memo and they’re all running with the same memo, of course using exactly the same words.

Ashley Parker at “The Washington Post” wrote this, “In 2022, the GOP spent $40 million vilifying Pelosi in ads and on Friday, her husband was attacked by a hammer.” Do you see the direct correlation?

If you criticize Nancy Pelosi, obviously you’re endangering her family. Of course, she does run the political party that’s facing reelection right now, that controls the United States Congress. She’s third in line for the presidency. But you can’t criticize her because if you do, you’re just like your acolyte — (Paul) DePape.

So, the Republican Party clearly needs to stop running advertisements that hurt Democrats ahead of the midterms. Please. That’s the problem here, not the mentally ill, BLM nudist in Berkeley.

So what they are really arguing is in the wake of this attack, which is awful against someone who did not deserve it and we want to be clear about that, Paul Pelosi really is a nice guy. Hard to believe, but he is.

But in the wake of that, they are telling you, unfortunately, you can no longer have free speech. We can’t. They’re telling you this is an example of “stochastic terrorism,” which is a completely meaningless phrase that emerged like a virus out of the university to infect our public discourse or more precisely, to suppress our public discourse.

Reuters has reported that — and we are quoting — “Terrorism and extremism experts believe it could be an example of the growing threat of so-called stochastic terrorism in which sometimes unstable individuals are inspired to violence by hate speech.”

Okay. What is hate speech, by the way? All of a sudden, everyone in the media has sort of, without explaining why, agreed that there’s this thing called hate speech that’s real and probably actionable. They can find a billion-dollar judgment against you if you commit hate speech, but just to remind everyone watching, there’s no such thing as hate speech.

Hate speech is speech people hate, usually the people in power. The truth is all speech, except speech that encourages people to imminent illegal action, like “go shoot that guy”, short of that, there’s no hate speech. All of it is allowed under the United States’ Constitution, which is our final hope.

But what they’re telling you is that dissenting in any way from the editorial positions of, say, “The Washington Post” or “The Daily Beast” or The Atlantic Magazine, disagreeing with those publications and the consensus they represent isn’t simply immoral. No, it’s worse than that. It’s violence. It gets people killed. That’s the stochastic terrorism.

When you question, say, COVID protocols or “Drag Queen Story Hour” or the war against Russia, you are effectively smashing an 82-year-old man in the head with a hammer. They’re making that argument. And of course, they have no choice but to make that argument.

Democrats are very worried about the coming elections, but they’re absolutely terrified that Elon Musk may allow people to criticize them on Twitter and they know or what Republicans don’t seem to know, which is without censorship, the Democratic Party cannot continue to hold power.

Democrats understand that. They have nothing to offer. They have to stop you from asking questions, so they have to crush Elon Musk, not because he is a right-winger, but because he will allow their opponents to speak. And of course, they are using the attack on poor Paul Pelosi to do just that.

“The New York Times” has just come out with a piece that says — and we are quoting — “Elon Musk in a Tweet, shares a link from a site known to publish fake news.” Really? What did Elon Musk do? Well, he linked to an article about how Paul Pelosi called the guy in his home a friend. Well, that’s what the 9-1-1 tape says. You can draw your own conclusions or not, or maybe you don’t care, which is also fine.

How is that fake? It seems to be real. NBC News’ Ben Collins explaining that Musk’s tweets are “how you lose a democracy in the age of the internet.” Oh, by asking questions.

Jimmy Kimmel attacked Musk personally, he used to be a comic, sad to watch that decline. “It’s been interesting,” Kimmel wrote to Musk, “To watch you blossom from the electric car guy into a fully formed piece of .” (human excrement.)

Then CNN told its viewers today that in the wake of the attack on Paul Pelosi, Elon Musk no longer let people speak freely on Twitter. That was his plan, but no more. In the wake of the attack on Pelosi, Musk must retain “what the far-right calls censorship” Who are the far-right?

We don’t need to be far-right to identify the censorship, because censorship is exactly what it is and to restate, Democrats could no longer exist or hold power without it. They need censorship, and they’re going to try to use this horrifying crime to hold on to it.

But something else is going on here too, something beneath even all of that. Obviously, by immediately politicizing the attacks, Democrats get a lot potentially. But the main thing they do is effectively obscure the deepest truth of all, which is that what happened to Paul Pelosi is not so unusual anymore.

Crime in this country is out of control by every measure. Attacks by the mentally ill, homeless, even non-nudists who don’t live in buses, but the mentally ill homeless are now their own category. They’re a feature of life in our cities, in fact, of every part of this country controlled by the Democratic Party.

If you live in one of those places, no matter who you vote for, you know that that’s true. You’re pushed in front of a Subway train by one of them. That’s entirely real. Here’s one recent and especially awful example from California.

A 54-year-old man and his 22-year-old daughter were just stabbed to death in the parking lot of a Kohl’s in Palmdale by a mentally ill homeless man. Not an unusual story, but a particularly awful one. Here’s a local news account:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

KTTV REPORTER: Residents say there are multiple homeless encampments in the area and that people are known to live out of their cars in the back of this particular parking lot. Everyone said they’re shocked by the violence.

CASEY COLLIER, PALMDALE RESIDENT: For me, I was like dumbfounded. Just think, like, wait, somebody just got stabbed in broad daylight? I mean, like again, it doesn’t matter if it’s daylight or nighttime, but the fact that people have the audacity, which means, hey, people don’t care, you know, especially when you’re dealing with the type of mentality that these homeless people have, they don’t care.

So, to find out, like, wait a minute, somewhere where I go shopping, to get gas, my bank is right here, but then some dead person is right there. That’s infuriating and sad.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: To restate with heartfelt sincerity, we couldn’t feel worse about what happened to Paul Pelosi. He didn’t deserve it.

On the other hand, if you’re going to be injured in a violent crime in 2022, not so surprising that that crime was committed by a mentally ill homeless man because so many crimes are committed by mentally ill homeless people. A fact that everyone who lives in the city understands perfectly well and the people who are making it possible, the leaders of the Democratic Party, assiduously ignore.

This summer, a nonprofit director in San Francisco, for example, a man called James Spingola asked two homeless men to move away from the steps of a community center. In response, the homeless man violently beat him with a wooden plank and sent him to the hospital. This happened at 11:00 AM in broad daylight. This happens all the time.

And here’s the point: The psycho drug addled zombies who do it are usually released the same day to do it again. Everyone knows that. It’s not an accident. It’s the result of policy, policies that Nancy Pelosi supports in her own city.

But in this case, the guy did not walk because it happened at Nancy Pelosi’s House. So, the guy is still in jail. He’s not benefiting from cashless bail. The police got there in two minutes in San Francisco. That’s four times faster than the average response time in San Francisco. Four times.

So, the lesson here couldn’t be more obvious and their screaming is designed to keep you from reaching this conclusion, but here it is: Nancy Pelosi and her party, the Democratic Party — it’s not an overstatement to say this — have deliberately created a breakdown in law and order and safety and quality of life in your neighborhood. Yet, they are given special treatment themselves when it happens to them.

So, you can grieve the attack on Paul Pelosi and see it as horrifying because it is and still understand that the response to it would not be extended to you. It’s a double standard. It’s a two-tiered system of justice. That’s completely unacceptable and it’s not justice. In fact, it’s the opposite.

So, the media ought to be saying something about this. This is happening. This crime specifically happened, but so many others have happened because of policies designed to allow them to happen and someone in the press should point that out. “Hey, Paul Pelosi is not the only guy who got attacked by a nut case homeless guy this month,” but they’re not saying that and because they’re not saying that, Democratic politicians get to skate and not just skate, but to grandstand on Republican violence in ways that any person with a sense of shame would be totally incapable of doing because you’d hate yourself for doing it.

But they don’t hate themselves. They’ll say whatever it takes.

On the very same day that Barack Obama blamed Republicans for assaulting Paul Pelosi, Obama was campaigning in Wisconsin for Tony Evers. Does that name sound familiar? That’s the Governor who let homicidal mobs take over the City of Kenosha two years ago for political reasons. Watch this.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BARACK OBAMA, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We’ve got politicians who work to stir up division, to try to make us angry and afraid of one another for their own advantage and all of it gets amped up, hyped up 24/7 by social media, because a lot of times they are for-profit platforms and they find it more profitable to feed you controversy and conflict instead of facts and truth, and sometimes it can turn dangerous.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: Oh, your speech turns dangerous. Other people are stirring up resentment. Really? No President in American history ever caused, intentionally caused, more racial division, more race hate than Barack Obama did. Of course, it was the key to his second term, obviously.

But the solution to something that he did is prohibiting you from saying what you think. Shutting down your constitutionally protected right, your God-given right to say what you think is true is always the solution because they conflate words with violence when it suits them.

In Georgia last week, Barack Obama said Democrats, the party that defunded the police, the Democratic Party, somehow, he said, bears no responsibility for the rise in violent crime all over the country. In fact, Obama pretended Democrats had not voted to defund the police at all. “Who actually voted against more resources for the police departments?” He asked.

It’s like if he will say anything, maybe it works.

Yes. Who oversees Baltimore and Gary, Indiana; Minneapolis; New York; Seattle and Portland, Oregon? How are those cities doing?

Speaking of shamelessness, Kathy Hochul just went to on Al Sharpton’s show to claim that the crime wave, the one that you’re watching, the one that may have hurt you or killed one of your neighbors, it’s all fake, in the statement that is crazier than anything Alex Jones has ever thought.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GOV. KATHY HOCHUL (D-NY): They have a conspiracy going all across America to try and convince people that in Democratic States, they are not is safe.

Well, guess what? They’re also not only election deniers, they’re data deniers. The data shows that shootings and murders are down in our State by 15 percent, even in New York City, down 20 percent on Long Island where Lee Zeldin comes from.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARLSON: So, that’s just a lie. Actually, New York is so dangerous that people are leaving. Rents haven’t gone down because foreign investors are buying up a lot of the buildings, but people are leaving New York in droves. Of course.

But according to Kathy Hochul in a claim that is truly crazier than anything Alex Jones has ever even thought, in the shower to himself, Kathy Hochul is telling you that the data are fake.

So here you have a city in which, New York City, Subway ridership has dropped by 40 percent over the last two years.

Now, according to Kathy Hochul it’s not because Subway riders are being pushed in front of trains. People are being attacked by the mentally homeless. No, it’s because apparently millions of New Yorkers are watching FOX News. They’ve been fooled by right-wing propaganda into thinking the Subway is dangerous. That’s what she’s suggesting.

This is too stupid. This is a lie. Voters know it’s a lie and when Democrats get crushed in next week’s midterms, it’ll be in part because people who live in cities and states run by liberals understand that what happened to Paul Pelosi could very well happen to them, and no one would care. “Morning Joe” would pretend it never happened.

Tucker Carlson explains why the Democrats must rely on censorship to maintain political viability.

Anti-liberty leftists and their national media apparatus are in their final desperate days before their well-deserved midterm (rhetorical) mangling, with the latter dropping any remaining microscopic vestiges of ‘objectivity.’  They know that everything hinges on what happens over the next few days and if they can conjure up some reason for their side to maintain their death grip on power, they will do it. This is why they are trying to carefully exploit the horrific assault on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband.  It should go without saying that such acts of violence are to be condemned.

However, as Tucker Carlson detailed in his Fox News show Monday night, this disturbing incident brought forth some rather unsavory reactions from those who like to falsely portray themselves as ‘liberal.’  These are the times that bring out the best and the worst in people, the stressful situations when their true nature shines through.

Tucker Carlson: Without censorship, the Democratic Party can't continue to hold power

How did the left react to this recent crisis?

Do they try to consider all aspects of an issue and solve the problem with intelligent solutions?

Or do they simply react and call for another suppression of our liberty?

Consider how Politico framed the current crisis in their piece

The brutal assault on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul inside their San Francisco home early Friday morning reverberated across the campaign trail Saturday, with some Democratic campaigns acknowledging increased threats of violence and some Republican campaigns exercising extra caution in their rhetoric.

With the ‘conservative’ Max Boot ( pause for laughter) of the Washington Post ignoring the 2017 Inauguration Riot and the 2020 George Floyd Riots that were far more violent and caused far more destruction than Jan. 6, 2021.  

Followed by another alleged ‘conservative’ (sure, whatever Jen) from the same media source sounding the alarm over the people ruling in our Constitutional Republic:

First, and perhaps most troubling, the nearly 300 GOP election deniers/liars on the ballot are likely to whip up anger about a “rigged” system or “stolen election,” priming aggrieved supporters for violence. Many high-profile Republicans have refused to pledge to respect the results. Given Republicans’ embrace of the “big lie” in 2020, we should prepare for a plethora of baseless accusations, some of which could incite unstable individuals.

She of course goes on to carefully tie the nudist hemp jewelry maker from Berkeley to a totally unrelated event that took place almost 22 months ago all the way across the country.  But we’re guessing that since they're floundering in the face of utter defeat, they’ll grasp at anything they can think of.

What is the common thread in all the coverage from the far-left media?

The almost subliminal message that runs just beneath the surface of all of their screeds.  It’s that our freedom of speech must be suppressed, lest it cause any other nudist hemp jewelry maker’s from Berkeley to lose the plot and attack someone of the leftist ruling class.  Just as it’s their knee-jerk reaction to call for gun confiscation whenever a leftist start shooting at people.

We could cite several other examples, but that should give you the picture.  We call them the anti-liberty left to make the point that restricting your freedom and common-sense civil rights is their go-to action to solve any problem.

What’s even worse about this is that these actions never work as advertised, they just empower the left, as intended.  They must know this, but they don’t care, they only care about their control over society.  Because none of those measures ever solves the problem, they only empower the left.

The term anti-liberty left also acts as a reminder that those people are only exploiting the term ‘liberal’ as just another form of gaslighting on their part, and a reason for everyone to stop complimenting the far-left with that term that they do not deserve.

Report: Twitter and Facebook Had Regular Meetings with DHS on Censoring Americans

Executives from Facebook and Twitter, including the recently-fired head of trust & safety Vijaya Gadde, held regular meetings with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to discuss censorship on a wide range of topics, including the withdrawal from Afghanistan, coronavirus, and “racial justice,” according to leaked documents.

The information came to light via leaks to the Intercept, as well as documents and minutes revealed through Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s lawsuit filed against the Biden Administration that alleges government collusion with Big Tech to suppress Americans’ First Amendment rights.

According to the material, DHS plans to target alleged misinformation around “the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, racial justice, U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the nature of U.S. support to Ukraine.”

The report also reveals an official process for the government to flag “misinformation” to Facebook.

Via the Intercept:

There is also a formalized process for government officials to directly flag content on Facebook or Instagram and request that it be throttled or suppressed through a special Facebook portal that requires a government or law enforcement email to use. At the time of writing, the “content request system” at facebook.com/xtakedowns/login is still live. DHS and Meta, the parent company of Facebook, did not respond to a request for comment. The FBI declined to comment.

Some of the meetings between social media representatives and the government included Kate Starbird, the leftist professor who leads the “Election Integrity Partnership.”

Via the Intercept:

In June, the same DHS advisory committee of CISA — which includes Twitter head of legal policy, trust, and safety Vijaya Gadde and University of Washington professor Kate Starbird — drafted a report to the CISA director calling for an expansive role for the agency in shaping the “information ecosystem.” The report called on the agency to closely monitor “social media platforms of all sizes, mainstream media, cable news, hyper partisan media, talk radio and other online resources.” They argued that the agency needed to take steps to halt the “spread of false and misleading information,” with a focus on information that undermines “key democratic institutions, such as the courts, or by other sectors such as the financial system, or public health measures.”

As Breitbart News previously reported, the EIP provided tools to the federal government and to organs of the Democrat party to censor “misinformation” in the runup to the 2020 election, and targeted various conservative media, including Breitbart News, for censorship.

Via Breitbart News:

In the runup to the 2020 election, the consortium created a system whereby state actors including the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department could file “tickets” alongside news stories, flagging them so that Big Tech platforms could subsequently suppress or attach warning labels to them.

Beyond this blatant case of a private-public censorship coalition, the EIP also engaged in partisan politics, allowing the Democratic National Committee to file tickets through the system, as well as the Democrat-aligned groups Common Cause and the NAACP.

News outlets targeted by the EIP included Breitbart News, Fox News, the New York Post, and the Epoch Times, as well as the social media accounts of prominent conservatives Charlie Kirk, Tom Fitton, Jack Posobiec, Mark Levin, James O’Keefe, and Sean Hannity, amongst others

In a statement to the Intercept, a Twitter spokesperson said “we do not coordinate with other entities when making content moderation decisions, and we independently evaluate content in line with the Twitter Rules.”

Zuckerberg’s FWD.us Claims No Amnesty Ensures Midterm Defeat for Democrats

NEIL MUNRO

The Facebook-funded FWD.us investor advocacy group is touting the claim that Democrat turnout will drop in 2022 if the party cannot pass an amnesty through Congress.

But that claim is toothless, in large part because recent polls show that many Americans of Latino ancestry are increasingly voting for the GOP, precisely because GOP leaders oppose the amnesty-amplified wave of cheap labor into their communities.

The claim is being made by pro-migration groups, including the leaders of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) which denounced the Senate’s parliamentarian’s decision to exclude the parole amnesty for 6.5 million illegals from the draft Build Back Better spending plan.

NDLON declared Thursday night:

Democrats’ excuses for their failure, for their incompetence, and for their insincerity will be the ammunition used by xenophobes in the Republican Party to retake control of the federal government in upcoming elections. Inaction on immigration legalization risks further propelling Trumpism in every possible way … No more excuses. Where there is a will, there is a way.

The NDLON group represents illegal migrants, most of whom work for very low wages, and none of whom can vote in U.S. elections.

Rep. Lou Correa (D-Calif.) is making the same claim, according to Bloomberg, which reported that he “warned that Democrats would face wrath from voters in the 2022 elections if they don’t secure a citizenship path”

But the NDLON claim is being echoed by the politically powerful investor class, who use imported workers, consumers, and renters to spike the value of their Wall Street investments.

Todd Schulte is the president of the FWD.us advocacy group for investors, which gets about $30 million a year from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to push for more migration. On Thursday night, he tweeted:

 

Schulte’s deputy also pushed a hard line:

 

Unsurprisingly, FWD.us has a hidden agenda in the amnesty debate.

The establishment media extensively cover the proposed parole amnesty for 6.5 million illegal migrants. But the media largely ignores  two other proposed changes to immigration laws that would deliver huge benefits to West Coast investors who created the FWD.us advocacy group in 2013.

For example, the BBB legislation would allow the White House to provide green cards to millions of favored migrants, including perhaps three million “chain migrants” selected by recent immigrants. This open-doors policy would provide investors with millions of new profit-generating consumers, renters, and workers.

The BBB legislation would also allow President Joe Biden’s pro-migration deputies to sell green cards to at least one million migrants who have taken many of the Fortune 500 jobs sought by skilled U.S. college graduates. This change would allow Fortune 500 companies to hire many more foreign graduates with dangled offers of fast-track green cards. These workers are usually imported via the visa worker programs, such as the H-1B and Optional Practical Training program.

But those two benefits for the Fortune 500 investors may be dropped if the Democrat senators cannot also get their amnesty for illegal migrants.

On Friday, an advocacy group for corporate-funded immigration lawyers urged Congress to keep pushing the green card giveaway, even after the amnesty was nixed:

 

“The corporate guys are riding on perceived sympathy for the illegal alien population in order to get their immigration giveaways,” said Robert Law, the director of regulatory affairs and policy at the Center for Immigration Studies. He continued:

The Hispanic population knows immigration is a pocketbook issue for them as well, and mass illegal immigration — plus legal immigration — hurts the economic opportunities of Hispanic Americans or the black community, or any people who typically are competing at the lower end of the economic spectrum.

The Senate’s debate referee has not issued any judgments on the two green card proposals.

Zuckerberg’s FWD.us network of coastal investors stands to gain from more cheap labor, government-aided consumers, and urban renters. The network has funded many astroturf campaigns, urged Democrats to not talk about the economic impact of migration, and manipulated coverage by the TV networks and the print media.

FWD.us’also spotlights many family dramas amid the inflow of border migrants. This focus helps keep reporters from recognizing the huge pocketbook impact of the establishment’s economic policy of mass migration. The resulting family-drama coverage also keeps many young progressives from noticing that the extraction migration policy drives up their rents and cuts their salaries.

The breadth of investors who founded and funded FWD.us was hidden from casual visitors to the group’s website sometime in the last few months. But copies exist at other sites.

 

 

Bidens Chief of Staff Worked on Behalf of Big Tech for Endless H-1B Visas

JOHN BINDER

Democrat Joe Biden has chosen Ronald Klain to be his chief of staff should he enter the White House in January. Klain worked on behalf of Silicon Valley executives and their interests, which include providing tech corporations with an endless supply of H-1B foreign visa workers and more free trade.

Klain, who was made Biden’s incoming chief of staff this week, served on the executive council of TechNet — a firm that promotes the interests of Silicon Valley’s tech corporations in Washington, D.C. Klain served on the council alongside executives from the Oracle Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Google, Visa, Apple, and Microsoft.

TechNet, most recently, joined a lawsuit against President Trump’s reforms to the H-1B visa program that sought to prioritize unemployed Americans for jobs rather than allowing businesses to continue importing foreign workers.

TechNet is one of the groups that has filed an amicus brief to oppose the new regulations on H-1B visas. https://t.co/ofY4GJ2sVR

— U.S. Tech Workers (@USTechWorkers) November 12, 2020

Trump’s seeking to force businesses to hire Americans over importing foreign visa workers is an affront to Silicon Valley’s tech corporations, those represented by TechNet, who advocate for an endless flow of H-1B foreign visa workers.

There are about 650,000 H-1B visa workers in the U.S. at any given moment. Americans are often laid off and forced to train their foreign replacements, as highlighted by Breitbart News. More than 85,000 Americans annually potentially lose their jobs to foreign labor through the H-1B visa program.

Analysis conducted in 2018 discovered that 71 percent of tech workers in Silicon Valley, California, are foreign-born, while the tech industry in the San Francisco, Oakland, and Hayward area is made up of 50 percent foreign-born tech workers. Up to 99 percent of H-1B visa workers imported by the top eight outsourcing firms are from India.

TechNet’s listed immigration goals include allowing corporations to dictate the annual level of legal immigration to the United States and the elimination of per-country caps that would effectively let India and China monopolize the U.S. green card system.

The group’s goals on trade are in direct opposition to President Trump’s economic nationalist agenda that has imposed tariffs on foreign imports from China, Canada, Europe, and other parts of the globe.

TechNet’s trade goals include reducing “tariff and non-tariff barriers to information, communications, and advanced energy technology products, services, and investments” as well as “protections for the free flow of data across borders…”

While Biden has vowed to flood the U.S. labor market with more foreign workers to compete against Americans for jobs, he has shied away from questions on whether he will eliminate tariffs on foreign imports that were imposed by Trump. Such elimination of tariffs would be a boon to multinational corporations that offshore their production and jobs overseas only to import their products back into the U.S. market, often with no penalties for doing so.

A report from the Media Research Center, strongly denied by Google, suggests the tech giant is manipulating search terms related to races for the U.S. Senate to favor Democrats.

Google is under intense scrutiny this election cycle after a study from North Carolina State University found that Gmail sent roughly 59 percent more Republican campaign emails to users’ spam folders than Democrats during the 2020 election. The Republican National Committee alleges that this imbalance is ongoing, and intentional on Google’s part.

Now, a Media Research Center (MRC) study claims Google is favoring Democrats in search results related to Senate races, but not House races.

Via the MRC:

In the Senate study MRC Free Speech America conducted, Google buried 10 of 12 Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites while highlighting their opponents campaign sites in organic search results. But when doing the same search, Bing and DuckDuckGo showed both the Senate Democratic Party candidates’ campaign websites and the Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites in the top five organic search results on page one.

Meanwhile, MRC Free Speech America found that Google placed Republican campaign websites higher in search results than Democrat campaign websites by a 21-11 margin in House races, while giving four races equal treatment.

MRC Free Speech America applied the exact same methodology from its Senate study to analyze 36 top House races, where polling shows the House does not hang in the balance.

Google strongly disputed the findings of the study, telling Fox News Digital that “This report is designed to mislead, testing uncommon search terms that people rarely use. Anyone who searches for these candidate names on Google can clearly see that their campaign websites rank at the top of results – in fact, all of these candidates currently rank in the top three and often in the first spot in Google Search results.”

(CNSNews.com) – The Media Research Center’s FreeSpeech America division conducted a study that caught Google burying 83% of Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites in comparison to their Democratic competitors, who appeared as the top searches in organic search results.

“Google must be investigated for its un-American efforts to sway the election,” L. Brent Bozell, founder and president of the Media Research Center, told Free Speech America.

“First, researchers caught Google red-handed by proving Republican campaign emails were sent to spam," said Bozell. "Now we’ve uncovered Google manipulating search results to hide Republican campaign websites while promoting Democratic ones. This is all an effort by Google to help Democrats and interfere in the democratic process.” 

The study was sparked by a March 2022 report by  North Carolina State University, which caught Google marking 59.3% more emails as spam from “right”-leaning candidates when compared to “left”-leaning candidates during the 2020 U.S. elections. 

FreeSpeech America looked at Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo search results this fall for the 12 Senate races identified as the most important to track, based on tracking by RealClearPolitics.

While researchers found that Google buried 10 of 12 of the Senate GOP candidates’ campaign websites, both Bing and DuckDuckGo presented both Republican and Democrat websites in a fairer manner. Except for two candidates, both parties’ campaign websites were in the top five organic search results on page one.

To perform the study as accurately as possible, FreeSpeech America used a “clean” computer with zero history or embedded cookies. The researchers did a keyword search on Oct. 7 of each candidates’ name followed by “Senate Race 2022.” 

“The Google results for North Carolina’s Senate candidates are an example of Google’s most egregious election interference," FreeSpeech America reported. "Republican Rep. Ted Budd’s campaign website did not appear anywhere on the first page of Google’s search results, while Democrat Cheri Beasley’s campaign website was the very first result."

“The hotly contested Ohio and Pennsylvania races tell a similar story," said the report.  "Ohio Democrat Rep. Tim Ryan’s campaign website appeared as the second Google search result, and Pennsylvania’s Democrat John Fetterman’s website appeared third.

"The kicker? The campaign websites of their respective Republican opponents, J.D. Vance of Ohio and Dr. Mehmet Oz of Pennsylvania were eliminated from the first page of Google search results.”

Websites of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and 2022 senatorial candidates Adam Laxalt (R-Nev.), Don Bolduc (R-N.H.) and Herschel Walker (R-Ga.) were also absent from the first page of Google results. 

“Seven of 12 Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites did not appear on page one using Google’s organic search. Meanwhile, eight of 12 Senate Democratic Party candidate campaign websites were highlighted in the top six items in organic search results,” FreeSpeech America found.

However, this is not the first time Google has been found showing favor to the Democratic Party. 

Google was involved with Hillary Clinton’s Latino vote win in the 2016 election, while former Google CEO Eric Schmidt funded the largest vendor of her campaign. Another example of the company’s left-leaning bias can be traced to its close relationship with the Obama administration. 
 
FreeSpeech America recommended that Google should provide transparency with its users and for Congress to take action by investigating the Google search result bias and any other hidden efforts to sway the outcome of the midterm elections. 


Google's Parent’s Profits Plummet as Search Engine Ad Sales Miss Mark Amid Report Revealing Bias in Campaign Results

Google’s parent company, Alphabet, suffered a 27% drop in third-quarter net profit, as search engine ad sales failed to meet projections.

Alphabet also recorded a double-digit percent decline in net income, through the first nine months of the year, The Epoch Times reported Wednesday:

“Although third-quarter total revenues went up, from $65.1 to $69.1 billion, net income went down almost 27 percent, from $18.9 billion to $13.9 billion. Net income, year to date ended Sept. 30, declined by more than 16 percent. Analysts on average expected revenue to be $70.58 billion, based on Refinitiv data.”

“Google Services income, which includes ads, play store, and YouTube, registered a decline of more than 17 percent,” Epoch Times reported.

“Alphabet missed Wall Street's target for revenue growth in the third quarter as ad sales remained weak,” The New York Times reported Tuesday, noting that the company’s weak search ad sales for the quarter of $39.5 billion failed to hit the $41 billion level analysts expected.

As a result, at least 21 analysts cut their stock price expectations for Alphabet, according to Reuters.

Weak advertising sales aren’t the only thing hurting Alphabet’s bottom line, as Channel News reports:

“Google is also facing billions in fines from various corners of the globe, charged with everything from unfair market dominance in the app store world, to major privacy issues regarding its Incognito Search mode.”

What’s more, a new analysis by Media Research Center Free Speech America reveals that Google appears to be skewing its search engine results in favor of Democrats in order to affect the midterm elections in November.

“Anti-Democracy Google is manipulating search results to bury Senate Republican candidates’ campaign websites before the 2022 midterm elections,” the study, “Google CAUGHT Manipulating Search, Buries GOP Campaign Sites in 83% of Top Senate Races,” concludes.

Findings from the analysis, released this week, include:

  • Google buried Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites. Ten of 12 Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites (83%) appeared far lower (or did not appear at all) on page one of Google’s organic search results compared to their Senate Democratic Party opponents’ campaign websites.
  • Google completely hid seven of 12 Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites in page one organic search results. Seven of 12 Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites did not appear on page one using Google’s organic search. Meanwhile, eight of 12 Senate Democratic Party candidate campaign websites were highlighted in the top six items in organic search results.
  • Google’s search result bias is undeniable when compared to Bing and DuckDuckGo. With the exception of two candidates, both Bing and DuckDuckGo showed both the Senate Democratic Party candidates’ campaign websites and the Senate Republican Party candidates’ campaign websites in the top five organic search results on page one. 

 

“Google must be investigated for its un-American efforts to sway the election,” Media Research Center President L. Brent Bozell said in a statement reacting to the findings:

“First, researchers caught Google red-handed by proving Republican campaign emails were sent to spam. Now we’ve uncovered Google manipulating search results to hide Republican campaign websites while promoting Democratic ones. This is all an effort by Google to help Democrats and interfere in the democratic process.” 


Democrats are Aboard the Big Data Titanic

Seven state voter integrity teams called us after reading an article about Democrats employing a massive tech weapon for the upcoming elections. They were terrified their efforts to clean up voter rolls were for naught.

We were on a road trip crunching Nevada voter data and watching amazing results, real time, in the car.

Sleep well.  Nobody ever changed the game in any industry, or election, by applying demonstrably obsolete technology,.

The future of computing, and election computing, is not size and scale, it is blinding speed, across trillions of records, from hundreds to thousands of databases, using daily or hourly snapshot analysis, delivered to your cell phone or tablet -- to determine if a person changed their mind -- this morning.

There is no need for long-term, predictive data models in a world where opinions on crucial issues change hourly.

The Democrats’ Big Data Titanic technology is recognized as obsolete:

“By 2025, traditional computing technologies will hit a digital wall… As conventional silicon processors approach performance, economic and sustainability limits, they will limit digital initiatives and innovation, thereby limiting the growth of the business. New computing technologies … will begin to take their place. As these new technologies mature, they will become increasingly available and more affordable for businesses to begin experimentation.”   

-- Gartner Group Strategic Predictions for 2021 And Beyond

Mike Lindell and Sheriff David Clarke asked us to run the Wisconsin voter rolls with our disruptive Fractal technology. 

Voter integrity teams were ferociously analyzing state voter rolls with SQL, relational, Mongo, Excel type systems -- the equivalent of emptying a swimming pool with a spoon.  We loaded Wisconsin and within hours had it in their hands -- no charge -- finding registered voters living in laundromats and UPS boxes. 

Word spread and we now run about 15 or 20 mostly swing states.  We fund 90% of this ourselves.

Let’s compare what our Democrat team friends are doing with Fractal outcomes. Both teams have voter registration and history records. There are about 170 million eligible voters in the U.S. 

We don’t run one copy of the state voter registration roll.  We run 7, or 15, or 55 or in one state, 66. Running multiple copies of rolls allows our users to see subtle, critical changes in the data not visible to current technology.

That inactive voter, probably dead, moved to active, voted, then went back into that comfortable grave -- as inactive.  Current technology sees the person as inactive -- before they vote and afterward. 

Fractal identifies the data movement, flags it, that vote is challenged before it impacts an election.

This compute problem takes 15 million voters from one state, with 20 copies of the voter rolls, (20 x 15 million) compares every field, finding the differences as slight as a missing comma, categorizes results into easy-to-grasp columns, returning the results to the user in less than 10 seconds, on their phone.  For free.

We do this now for multiple states. We house almost 1.6 billion voter records -- because stuff changes and Fractal catches it.  The Big Data Titanic types, using conventional tech, would take months to do this, need a data center requiring the power of a small town, costing millions of dollars.

We deliver it on $4,000 computers, using less power than an electric drill.  Our engineers demonstrate running the entire state on an iPhone, but that was just showing off.

Fractals are the opposite of scale. In the Fractal world, everything is tiny, just lots of it -- in parallel.  On the Big Data Titanic, everything is big, costly, clumsy, slow -- blind to the iceberg.

One team in Wisconsin challenged almost 400,000 alleged phantoms.  A Georgia team, in one county, 37,000.

They deserve the glory, the kudos for their fine work.  Fractal gave them computing power beyond what any state or government agency can bring to bear.

It gets better.

Voter rolls are incredibly “dirty.”  That means lots of bad name and address data.  To solve that issue, Fractal ingests the county property tax records and compares them with the voter roll. Want to know how many voters live in a house with one bathroom?  How about how many live in a convenience store?

Fractal is in the process of ingesting all 3,200 county tax rolls, with “snapshots” compared with voter rolls.  This is computationally almost impossible, costing tens of millions of dollars with conventional Titanic tech. 

Here’s a social media problem.

A woman is 29, unmarried and in a relation with an alcholic.  She has a developmentally disadvantaged son, nine years old.  She is desperately lonely.

She can go to a dating site to find a mate.  She can go to an alcohol site to get help with the loser guy.  She can go to a site for child development and maybe get advice. Or, with Fractal, she can go to one of our websites, not yet public, enter her story, in text. 

There is a “Just Like Me” button, enabling her to profile herself, against scores of variables, in text, using different naming conventions (alcoholic, drunk, bum boyfriend), across millions of strangers instantly, on a phone. She can connect with someone just like her, weighing the variables in levels of importance.

This is called active data profiling and it can disrupt the ground game in the political world.

Malcolm is 48, lives in Michigan, married, four children, voted in the last four federal elections.  Malcolm gives money to animal rescue, donated to Bernie Sanders and the local Democrat mayor.  Malcolm is a union guy.  He attended a Trump rally in 2016. Malcolm has a cable TV bill and a cell phone.  Malcolm doesn’t do social media.

If you are the Republican or Democrat get-out-the-vote person, do you call Malcolm?

Here is where the Big Data Titanic and the Fractal PT boat diverge. The Democrat Big Data Titanic, all the big data guys, think history matters.  It did, but it doesn’t matter much now.

What is Malcolm feeling this morning? 

Sure, you can poll him, you can survey him, but remember in Big Data Land there are maybe 40 million Malcolms -- each slightly different. You can poll Malcolm Monday but his opinion may change Wednesday morning. You need the “Just Like Malcolm” button to profile Malcolm, Wednesday, the morning after the gubernatorial debate. Then go find every Malcolm profile in the precinct, district, or state.

The Big Data Titanic will tell you all about Malcolms, millions of them -- in a month or two.  They will sell you Malcolm’s profile from last month. Fractal picks up the slightest change, across 50, 100, 500 attributes, instantly, telling you if you want to call Malcolm or let him sleep in -- this morning.

The difference is speed, agility, cross searching hundreds of databases with literally tens of trillions of records, on computers you can hold in your lap, for that one little clue telling you what Malcolm may feel right now!

Don’t panic that your Democrat pals are buying the cell-phone data telling them who stayed home for COVID.  Who cares?  Anyone can do that.

Fractals tell you what Malcolms are thinking this morning, the day after they saw Tudor Dixon for the first time.

Scale is dead.  The future is not Big Data. 

The future is gargantuan data, constantly feeding thousands of parallel Fractals, running at silicon speed, on tiny, cheap computers, giving you the current heartbeat of the voter, the precinct, the district, or the state.

Computing disruption shifted the power from historical data to tiny, current clues that may tell the whole story.

The Titanic crew knew about the icebergs, their crew just didn’t have real time visibility until it was too late to change course. And that, my friends, is what the Democrats are investing in.  Sleep well.

China, Elite Capture, and America’s Future

When people wonder why America is in such rapid decline with the woke normalization of censorship, cancel culture, division, unequal justice, and depravity, they need to understand the theory of “elite capture,” and how it has played such a large role.

Elite capture has been mastered by the Chinese communists (CCP), and it has proven far more successful in subverting America than the prior efforts by the Soviet Communists. While the CCP uses front groups and bots for propaganda, they have mastered all the techniques of infiltration to influence, compromise and coopt elites so as to “capture” them. Typical targets include university professors and scientists, media executives and reporters, and corporate and political leaders.

Within a decade of opening relations with China in 1972, the Chinese began wooing American businesses to set up shop in China, offering a cheap labor manufacturing platform and the promise of access to a large market. Fast forward to today and we find that industry leading American companies such as Apple, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco, 3M, Wal-Mart, Hasbro, Mattel, Gap, Nike, and many others now manufacture far more of their products in China than anywhere else. We learned through the COVID-19 experience that 80 percent of the basic components known as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), come from ChinaAll companies doing business in China have learned to remain silent and not criticize the CCP, especially regarding corruption in government and human rights violations, such as the persecutions and forced labor of the Uyghurs in Xinjiang and the Tibetans in Xizang.

With China running a multi-billion-dollar trade surplus with the United States for many years, it has plenty of U.S. dollars to facilitate elite capture through bribery. The Chinese have spent billions to buy influence in America, and when the Chinese are successful with bribery, they intend to influence and gain control of their American targets. And of course, once having taken money illicitly, people find themselves compromised and in an awkward position to extricate themselves. Often these compromised elites have little choice but to see their interests and those of China interconnected or even identical.  

Today’s CCP takes heed from Mao’s ten-year Cultural Revolution in China that began in 1966. They see cultural influence as paramount because it is upstream of politics and is the single most important force in shaping society downstream. Thus, they have executed on partial elite capture of U.S. media and Hollywood studio assets in the last 10 years, acquiring controlling interests in some twelve leading Hollywood and media companies, such as AMC Theatres, Carmike Cinemas, the Legendary Jurassic World Production Company, Dick Clarke Productions, STX Entertainment, IM Global, Studio 8, Riot Games and more. With China being one of the largest markets for big-screen movies, all American production houses now self-censor -- avoiding any criticism of the Chinese government or mention of Taiwan, Tibet, or the Uyghurs.

With media conglomerates being multidimensional, it’s impossible for their news entities to remain insulated from Chinese influence. For example, companies such as Disney, which owns ABC, and Comcast, which owns NBC News, CNBC, and MSNBC, for example -- are large multinational conglomerates that own news organizations among many other holdings, including entertainment companies. Conflicts of interest resulting from Chinese relationships between not only Hollywood and the news media but also theme parks, cellular and cable networks, and movie theaters -- with nearly all the products they sell manufactured in China -- are inevitable. The same Disney that owns ABC has a theme park in Shanghai, and it also owns ESPN. In turn, ESPN has a multibillion-dollar content-rights deal with the NBA. Lebron James the biggest American basketball star in China and the center of the Nike-NBA industrial complex has defended the CCP crackdowns in Hong Kong.

Without a doubt the greatest elite capture by the CCP has been the Joe Biden family, which started at least as far back as 2013 when son Hunter accompanied his father Joe, then U.S. vice president, on a trip to China. Significant payments to the Biden family started a few years later.

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.

Rudy Giuliani sums up what ultimate elite capture looks like, stating: “The Biden Family is owned by the Chinese Communist Party.”  

We will conclude where we began with more insight about why America is in such trouble. The normalization of censorship, cancel culture, unequal justice, depravity, Critical Race Theory indoctrination of the military in America today is all related to “elite capture.”

Clarity about our predicament can start with taking heed of George Washington’s warning to the nation in his 1796 Farewell Address: “Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government.”

What all those Democrats voted for in the midterm election

So, the red tsunami did not exactly materialize at midterms, but thankfully, numerous Republicans did win.
 
They flipped some House seats; the Senate is still up in the air.  Given all the polls that show about 80% of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction and that Biden’s approval ratings are in the tank, how do we explain the Democrat wins?
 
Let’s take a look at what those Democrats voted for, what they supported this past Tuesday. 
 
1.      In New York, Michigan, Illinois and Pennsylvania they voted to release violent criminal without bail, to allow them to continue to commit violent crimes against innocent people, to shoplift with impunity, and to use drugs on city streets with their mayors’ and governors’ blessings. These career criminals will continue to harass and kill citizens brave enough to ride the subway in New York or even to stand on the platforms. 
 
2.      They voted for unrestricted abortion, up to and including birth and even after, if the mother makes that decision.  They voted for infanticide which makes us about as “progressive” as the Aztecs.
 
3.      They voted for wholly unnecessary and dangerous vaccine mandates for their young children, for more mask mandates and lockdowns in the future if their governors such as Kathy Hochul, J.B. Pritzker and Gretchen Whitmer so decide.  They voted for medical tyranny.
 
4.     They voted for energy shortages – gasoline, LNG, coal -- all of which Joe Biden has promised to restrict or end.  No more coal, no more drilling, no more pipelines.  Their plan is to send us all back to the Stone Age since there is no way solar or wind can provide even a tiny percent of this country’s energy needs.  Just a few years ago, when Donald Trump was president, we were energy independent.  Now we are systematically being starved of the energy this land has under our feet in spades.  If we run out of diesel, that is when our grocery shelves will empty.
 
5.     They voted for the continued invasion across our Southern border by unvetted migrants from all over the world.  They stream into the U.S. by the thousands each day.  They are given phones, money, hotel rooms, babysitting, laundry service, wi-fi, all on the taxpayer dime.  If only our homeless vets were treated as well.  More than five million migrants have entered the country since Biden took office.  This is all part of the left’s plan to alter the demographics of America, to transform us into a third world nation.  Part and parcel of this purposeful  invasion is the massive escalation of the sex trafficking of children and the tons of fentanyl that is spread throughout the country, killing 800 people each week!  This is Biden doing China’s bidding. 
 
6.     They voted to usher in the nefarious Great Reset, the globalist plan for a one-world government where “we will own nothing and be happy.”  These reset scoundrels have big plans for us; we will live by their rules, as serfs, without control over our own lives, or the lives of our children.  Who will we answer to?  These psychopathic, self-appointed elites.
 
7.      They voted for the furtherance of CRT, DEI, LGBT and ESG…each of these “programs” designed to divide citizens by race, class and gender.  They voted for the gender mutilation of younger and younger children.   
 
8.     They voted for the sexual grooming of our youngest children by mandating sex education, including gay pornography, for K-12 students.  They fervently believe that this is their right and duty despite most parents’ obvious and wise opposition. 
 
9.     They voted for the imposition of electric vehicles when we are years from being able to provide power to them.  EVs are more toxic to the environment than cars that run on gasoline.  Ask one of them where the power comes from; they’ll tell you “from the wall.”  Most of it comes from natural gas and coal.
 
10.  They voted for continued inflation, higher and higher gas and grocery prices, for more irrational spending on the climate change hoax.  They voted not just for socialism but for authoritarianism, for totalitarianism, for communism.  The Russia collusion hoax, the burying of the Hunter Biden laptop, two phony impeachments of President Trump, and the J6 show trial were each flashing neon lights of warning; tyranny is here and millions of Democrats voted for it. 
 
11.  From James Woods,  "If your party can't beat the actual dead, the talking dead, and the walking dead, it's over." In Pennsylvania, Democrats elected  a brain-damaged man who can barely put a coherent sentence together because he suffers from aphasia.  This man cannot possibly represent his constituents responsibly, but they voted for him anyway.  This tweet says it all:  “Do I vote for the party that nominates candidates with brain damage or the party that loses against candidates with brain damage.”  — Kyle Mann (@The_Kyle_Mann) November 9, 2022   Good question. 
 
Was the election on the up and up, fair and square, free of fraud?  Who knows?  George Soros, just one of the mega-donors to the Democrat party, spent $128 million!  (Remember also that Mark Zuckerberg spent $400 million in 2020.) One can buy a lot of people, votes and/or ballots with that kind of money.  How and why did the voting machines fail only in the conservative areas of Arizona?  Why does it take days to count ballots?  Was COVID all a grand hoax to derail Trump with mail-in ballots?  It seems possible.  There is no doubt that the 2020 election was stolen; did they steal this one too? 
 
Are Democrats simply uninformed about their party's agenda or do they actually support all the policies they voted to continue?
  

Joe Biden: Threats of Hunter Biden Investigations from Republicans ‘Almost Comedy’

President Joe Biden dismissed upcoming investigations by House Republicans on Wednesday when they ultimately take control of the House of Representatives as expected.

“Lots of luck in your senior year as my coach used to say,” Biden scoffed when asked about investigations into his administration and his family.

The president spoke about looming investigations during a press conference at the White House regarding the results of the midterm elections.

Republicans have previewed investigations into Biden’s handling of the border crisis, the exit from Afghanistan, some of his cabinet officials, and his son Hunter Biden.

Biden referred to reports that Trump was asking Republicans how many times they planned to impeach him.

“I mean, I think the American people will look at all that for what it is – it’s almost comedy,” he said.

He indicated that Americans did not care about those issues, but said he could not control what Republicans would do.

“I think the American public wants us to move on and get things done for them,” he said.

On the 14th of August 2020, Politico Magazine, in a lengthy article, revealed for the first time Barack Obama’s true opinion of Joe Biden together with his warning to the people of America.  During the 2020 primary Obama told a fellow Democrat: “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up.” 

Whistleblower: Joe Biden Involved with Family Gambling Business in 2012

President Joe Biden was involved with a family gambling business venture in Latin America while he was vice president of the United States, a whistleblower revealed Monday.

The revelation again contradicts Joe Biden’s vow he never spoke to his son on multiple occasions about the family’s business ventures.

The informant told the Daily Mail Joe Biden’s involvement included conducting a conference call in 2012 with Hunter Biden, his business partner Jeff Cooper, the late Harry Reid, and his son Key Reid about an online gambling platform, Ocho Global, which was operating in Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, and Argentina.

“With the direct observations I had, it’s obvious Joe was participating in the business,” the source stated. “He wasn’t passive, he was talking about it. If I had to describe him, he was like a member of the Board of Directors.”

The whistleblower described additional interactions from the phone call:

‘Harry Reid asked whether or not the Peruvian government had been taken care of,’ the source said. ‘Cooper replied that it had all been taken care of; the Peruvian cooperation was in place.

‘That’s when Joe Biden said: ”That’s what we need to hear more of boys. We need to be making progress,” or something like that. Just an effusive comment that was endorsing that he was happy that things were proceeding.

‘He had all sorts of questions about other stuff. ‘Do we need to be doing other things with government officials? What do we need to do to get this moving ahead?’ He asked about what the revenue projections were and how soon the Ocho Rio software… could be demoed.’

Emails from Hunter show Cooper valued the gambling business at around $30 million in 2011 with the its Argentina component worth $10 million in March 2012.

Emails also reveal Hunter had an interest in Ocho’s parent company, Eudora Global, which yielded the president’s son a 2015 gain of $300,000, along with “income of $77,000 and a long term capital gain of $584,000 in 2017 and a gain of $646,000 in 2019,” the publication reported. By 2016, Hunter reportedly ended up with a three percent stake in Eudora.

It is unknown if Joe Biden received any income or kickbacks from the deal, as he tried to do with businessman and whistleblower Tony Bobulinski, who revealed in 2020 that Joe Biden was promised ten percent cut of a deal with a CCP-linked Chinese energy company.

In the same year as Hunter owned a three percent stake in Eudora, Joe Biden brought Hunter aboard Air Force Two to Mexico, where Hunter met with his business associates from Mexico City. On the trip, Cooper, who ran a large litigation firm, SimmonsCooper, was also involved in the business meeting.

Two years prior, 2014 emails from Hunter’s laptop show Hunter apparently wanted to be compensated from the online gambling platform via a joint venture law firm set up between Cooper, Joe, Hunter, and Beau Biden.

“In order to develop this as a platform for both JRBs [Beau and Joe] I think it is imperative we (the three of us) have full control come 2016 when JRB1 [Joe] comes on board,” Hunter wrote in an email.

The communications also included how the members of the deal would be paid. The joint venture law firm would yield somewhere in the “ball park” of $1.2 million annually and another $500,000 salary for Beau.

The joint law firm never materialized between the family due to Beau’s death in 2015 at a Maryland hospital, though Joe Biden has twice claimed he died in Iraq.

It is not the first time the Bidens had worked with Cooper on a business venture. According to the New York Post, Coopers’ law firm had tried to set up a hedge fund with the Biden in 2009 with a $1 million dollar injection of cash. In 2016, Cooper joined Joe and Hunter Biden to Mexico to work out a failed petroleum deal with Aleman Magnani.

While Joe Biden has claimed he never spoke to Hunter and the family business dealings, in June, 2018, Joe Biden texted Hunter, “Call I’m with Jeff Cooper,” and, “Jeff asked for you. Wants to do some work with you. Love Dad.”

Joe Biden and his staff have claimed at least seven times that the president has not been involved in the family business, yet 18 pieces of evidence suggest Joe Biden has played an influential role in his sons Hunter and Beau and brother James’s activities.

‘Chaos and Division’: China Predicts Republicans Will Impeach Biden After Midterms

5:34

China’s state-run Global Times propaganda outlet predicted on Wednesday that Republican control of the U.S. House of Representatives was “highly likely to trigger an impeachment” against leftist President Joe Biden.

Americans nationwide went to the polls on Tuesday for the 2022 midterm elections. Many election results remain outstanding at press time. Experts are predicting that Republicans take control of the House, while control of the Senate remains unclear, potentially hinging on a runoff election between Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and Republican contender Herschel Walker in Georgia.

The Chinese Communist Party’s media outlets, used to advance the regime’s agenda and promote totalitarianism, regularly mock America for holding elections and allowing the existence of multiple political parties. The Global Times especially repeatedly refers to any election in America or public political disagreement that does not end in mass arrests as “chaos,” suggesting the “harmony” of totalitarian communism as a superior alternative.

The Global Times‘ analysis of Tuesday’s elections followed its typical model, predicting “further chaos and division” no matter who ends up winning the remaining undecided elections. The newspaper predicted that the primary fueling event of chaos would be an impeachment against Biden in the near future as a form of revenge for the two times Democrats attempted, and failed, to impeach former President Donald Trump.

“Analysts believe that launching impeachment proceedings against Biden is a high-probability event, as a ‘political payback’ for Democrats’ ‘weaponized impeachment’ against former president Donald Trump,” the state newspaper claimed, referring vaguely only to both “analysts” and “political observers.” Usually, the Global Times uses those terms to refer to Chinese regime-approved pundits; one of those quoted is a Beijing professor identified as Diao Daming.

“What Democrats like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi did to Trump, Republicans are likely to do the same to Joe Biden in the future,” Diao reportedly said. “The GOP wants Biden to live with an ‘impeached’ label.”

The article elsewhere describes an impeachment process as “highly likely … amid an atmosphere of intense partisan rivalry,” but did not choose a specific issue on which Republicans would focus for such a process. Citing an unspecified Washington Post report, the Global Times listed potential impeachable acts as “the chaotic Afghanistan pullout, [Chinese coronavirus] pandemic eviction moratorium, failing to enforce immigration laws and prevent border crossings, as well as Biden’s son Hunter Biden’s actions in Ukraine.”

As usual, the Global Times concluded by asserting that highly contested, peaceful elections were proof that America has become a “fragile an unstable democracy” and that allowing public political disagreement caused countries undue harm. It also claimed that countries allied with America are reconsidering their ties, expecting Biden to make bold moves on the international stage to distract from “domestic U.S. chaos.”
“Biden’s China policy in the future may be a bit more Republican, with more obvious ideological bias and Cold War mentality,” the outlet predicted, “for example, by engaging with allies in areas where there is bipartisan consensus and further antagonizing China on so-called values, experts predicted.”

The Global Times‘ assessment of the election follows a slew of anti-election content from multiple Chinese government outlets. Last week, for example, the People’s Daily published a screed proclaiming all elections in America a mirage that actually strips citizens of power over their governments.

“The ugly truth of American democracy: Elections are political shows that fool the American people. The so-called democracy is, in fact, a game of power and money,” the People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Communist Party of China, railed. The article went on to cite left-wing talking points to condemn the founding of America.

“More than 200 years ago, the United States chose representative democracy upon its founding, from which the U.S. Electoral College was born,” the People’s Daily observed. “‘Unfair from day one’ is how the New York Times described the system.”

The newspaper also condemned the ability of Americans to donate to political campaigns as creating an “oligarchy.”

China is a totalitarian state beholden to the whims of genocidal dictator Xi Jinping, who secured another five-year term at the helm of his party with no visible dissent last month. During the Communist Party Congress, which coronated him as the unquestionable leader of the country, a bizarre situation unfolded in which his predecessor, former President Hu Jintao, was manhandled and abruptly removed from the premises on camera. Hu appeared to be looking at official documents and potentially about to disagree with a decision Xi had made in appointing senior Politburo members, though the origin of the discussion that led to Hu being purged on camera remains a mystery.

Hu has yet to be seen in public since the event occurred in mid-October. The Chinese news outlet Xinhua claimed that the elderly Hu had suffered an unknown health issue and was “much better now” before Chinese internet censors began erasing traces of Hu on social media.

Chinese spyware app TikTok has hired a longtime Democratic flack who served as President Joe Biden's 2020 campaign press secretary and deputy Pentagon spokesman, the Daily Mail reported Wednesday.

The news that TikTok hired former Biden spokesman Jamal Brown first appeared "in one line of a Politico newsletter on Tuesday," with TikTok not publicizing it. Brown has changed his Twitter bio to reflect his new job, at which he will "manage policy communications for the Americas, primarily focusing on the United States."

Brown's hire comes as evidence mounts that TikTok's Chinese parent company spies on American citizens. The Biden administration has allowed that company, which spends millions on lobbying, to dodge federal regulations, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

Federal Communications Commission commissioner Brendan Carr on Tuesday called for the federal government to ban TikTok.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) called Brown's move from the Pentagon to the social media app "alarming," saying it shows a "cozy relationship between the Biden Defense Department and TikTok."

In light of the government scrutiny, the former Biden administration spokesman is a particularly "well-connected hire" for the Chinese app, the Daily Mail noted.

J.D. Vance: U.S. Needs ‘National Policy of Tariffs’ to ‘Rebuild Industrial Heartland of America’

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Republican J.D. Vance, running against Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) for Ohio’s open United States Senate seat, says the U.S. needs a “committed national policy of tariffs” to “rebuild the industrial heartland of America.”

Vance, whose best-selling memoir Hillbilly Elegy chronicled the deindustrialization of Middletown, Ohio, where he spent his childhood, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview that a national industrial policy is vital to revitalizing what was once the heartbeat of American manufacturing.

The interview with Vance happened over lunch after one of Vance’s stops in Chillicothe — roughly 100 miles outside of Cincinnati — when he was making a swing through southeast Ohio to channel his Appalachian roots. Vance started the day in Gallipolis in Gallia County, Chillicothe in Brown County, and Mt. Orab in Ross County.

“Far too many Republicans,” Vance said, have been concerned “about the interests of multinational corporations instead of their voters” when it comes to job-killing trade deficits and free trade deals.

The U.S.-China trade deficit, alone, has resulted in the elimination of 3.7 million American jobs from 2001 to 2018. Ohio, during that period after China entered the World Trade Organization (WTO), lost nearly 138,000 jobs. Hundreds of thousands more jobs in Ohio have been eliminated as a result of other free trade deals and trade deficits with countries such as Mexico and Canada.

In Ryan’s district, since he took office in 2003, nearly 25,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost and drug overdose deaths have skyrocketed by up to 400 percent in some areas at the same time.

“It’s really straightforward and simple. The basic model of globalization has undercut the jobs of Ohioans in two basic ways: One, directly shipping their jobs overseas to places like China or Mexico, and two, through the immigration system — allowing the importation of a large class of people to undercut the wages of American citizens,” Vance said.

“Both of those consequences of globalization are really horrible for Ohio workers and we have to take the country in another direction,” Vance continued. “It just hasn’t worked. It’s created a large group of people in the state of Ohio, a large class of people all over the country, who have lost good middle class jobs … I care about those people.”

Vance said the issue of offshoring American jobs is not just about economics but also about a community’s culture and social wellbeing.

“When an anchor factory that supports the middle class and the town shuts down, I mean, it destroys people’s wages, it destroys the local churches because people don’t have wages to give back to those churches, it destroys the community infrastructure,” Vance said. “It doesn’t just affect people’s jobs, it affects the entire life, the civic life of the community, which is why I think we have to be willing to protect those jobs.”

A Republican congress, Vance described, ought to take the first step in protecting American jobs and industry by passing legislation that would make U.S. tariffs on foreign imports more permanent and across the board.

“To really rebuild the industrial heartland of America, you need a committed national policy of tariffs, of protecting American industries, and of supporting the workers who are going to work in those industries,” Vance said. “Without that, you’re at best going to do a little bit less damage than before.”

The latest research has suggested that permanent U.S. tariffs on nearly all foreign imports would create about 10 million American jobs in manufacturing and supporting industries while generating $600 billion in revenue.

Former President Trump’s tariffs on billions of dollars worth of foreign imports and China-made goods helped spur a manufacturing boom, the latest data shows, across a number of states.

Such a tariff-based industrial policy would have broad support from American union workers who have urged President Joe Biden not to end U.S. tariffs on China.

Executives with Cleveland Cliffs, the largest steel manufacturer in the U.S., told Vance they began reinvesting in American plants after Trump imposed tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum. Since then, though, Biden has considered ending the steel tariffs, throwing the industry for a loop.

“When you talk to, like Cleveland Cliffs … they say, ‘We actually started to really reinvest in American steel production because the tariffs protected the American steel industry and the American worker from [Chinese] dumping,'” Vance said.

“They’re worried that the Biden administration is thinking about undoing a lot of those tariffs under pressure from corporate interests and that makes it harder for them to invest in the long-term capacity that employs workers because building a steel mill isn’t like flipping a switch,” he said. “It takes years of capital investment and years of planning.”

Another component of rebuilding the nation’s heartland, Vance said, is unleashing the American energy industry and ensuring wide-scale investment in energy jobs that would otherwise go to China.

“The energy piece of it, in some ways, is as important as the tariff piece of it because if you’re thinking about whether you produce steel, for example, an incredibly energy-intensive industry, you need a high amount of natural gas at a low cost to produce steel at that scale,” Vance said.

“So if you’re an American steel maker, thinking about whether you will open a factory in China versus the United States, one of the parts of the equation is whether America will protect its industries,” he continued.

The Biden administration, Vance said, is crushing the American energy industry as its number one competitor, China, is working to dominate the sector.

“Another part of the equation is America is shutting down its energy capacity, whereas the Chinese are building their energy capacity as we speak,” Vance said. “… the [Biden administration is] really bad on American energy capacity and they are really bad on protecting our industries from the Chinese.”

“And Tim Ryan, of course, has supported them 100 percent of the time,” Vance noted.

As Vance noted, throughout Ryan’s campaign, he has attempted to portray himself as being independent of his party’s leadership. As Breitbart News has reported in the past, Ryan has voted with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and President Joe Biden 100 percent of the time in the most recent Congress.

In fact, during the first Ohio Senate debate, Ryan again attempted to distance himself from Democrat party leadership, saying politicians “who don’t have the guts to stand up to their own party” are a “huge threat to democracy.” Ryan claimed to align himself with Trump’s policies on occasion, even though he only voted for Trump’s agenda 16 percent of the time.

Over the lunch interview, Vance spoke about the need for a new Congress to reverse federal immigration laws that allow multinational corporations to replace American professionals — often in high-paying STEM jobs — with cheaper foreign workers on the H-1B visa program.

He also acknowledged that the country needs a “new generation of leaders,” not the “old generation” like his opponent, in addition to the U.S. needing to “protect” American single-family homes and farmland from foreign investors such as China and billionaires such as Bill Gates.

THE BIDEN KLEPTOCRACY

American people deserve to know what China was up to with Joe Biden, especially when Beijing had already shelled out millions of dollars to Biden family members — including millions in set-asides for “the big guy.” What else is on that infamous Hunter Biden laptop? The conflicted Biden Justice Department cannot be trusted to engage in any meaningful oversight on this issue. We need a special counsel now.

J.D. Vance: Tim Ryan’s ‘Kill and Confront’ Comment Was Another Attempt from the Left to Engage in Political Violence

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Republican J.D. Vance, running for Ohio’s open United States Senate seat, blasted his opponent Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) by saying his “kill and confront” MAGA was just another attempt from the left to engage in political violence.

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News the weekend before last, Vance blasted Ryan’s “kill and confront” MAGA comments and doubled down on his “extreme rhetoric” as just another attempt from the left to engage in political violence, after a debate this month where Ryan included Vance in a group of people he labeled as “extremists.”

The interview took place in Chillicothe, roughly 100 miles outside of Cincinnati, Ohio, while the Buckeye State Republican was making a swing through the southeast part of the state to channel his Appalachian roots with two weeks left in the race.

Vance told Breitbart News that if any Republican had attempted to make the same comments as Ryan did — such as wanting to “kill and confront” the far left or “kill and confront” the radical Democrats — “it would be around-the-clock national news” and “every single media figure would accuse you of inciting murder against Democratic leadership.”

The Buckeye State Republican explained that “it’s more of a commentary on the media” because Ryan has said “a lot of stupid stuff” over his last 20 years in Washington, DC, but “that the media won’t call him out on some pretty extreme rhetoric, and I do think some pretty extreme dangerous rhetoric.”

“I think that it’s irresponsible for Tim Ryan to use that rhetoric when his side is engaged in political violence,” he added.

Vance, when discussing the violence that happened during the riots throughout 2020, said, “What happened over the summer of 2020, where the media and major political figures actively encouraged looting, rioting, burning down of cities, is a far bigger threat to democracy than anything that’s happened since.”

“We’re talking about 26 people dead, tens of billions of dollars of property damage, entire communities are effectively destroyed, and it’s taken them years to recover, and the media and the Democrats egged it on,” he explained. “For them to come back and say I’m a threat to democracy because I think that people have a right to a speedy jury trial…It’s the craziest and most ridiculous accusation.”

Vance also spoke to Breitbart News about the need for a new Congress to reverse federal immigration laws that allow multinational corporations to replace American professionals — often in high-paying STEM jobs — with cheaper foreign workers on the H-1B visa program.

He also acknowledged that the country needs a “new generation of leaders,” not the “old generation” like his opponent, in addition to the U.S. needing to “protect” American single-family homes and farmland from foreign investors such as China and billionaires such as Bill Gates.

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Republican J.D. Vance, running against Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) for the state’s open United States Senate seat, says the U.S. must “protect” American single-family homes and farmland from foreign investors like China and billionaires such as Bill Gates.

“The Founding Fathers recognize that to have a constitutional republic, we needed a nation of owners, not a nation of renters, and there is this large-scale effort to turn the American people into a permanent renter class,” Vance told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview.

The interview took place over lunch after Vance’s second campaign stop last Saturday in Chillicothe — roughly 100 miles outside of Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Buckeye State Republican was making a swing through the southeast part of the state to channel his Appalachian roots with two weeks left in the race. Throughout the day, Vance made multiple stops starting in the village of Gallipolis, a stone’s throw from West Virginia and ending 40 miles east of Cincinnati.

Vance told Breitbart News that forcing Americans into a permanent renter class rather than making home ownership easier is a “huge mistake.” Vance emphasized that single-family homes and farmland need to be protected from China-linked investors, Wall Street firms like BlackRock, and billionaires such as Bill Gates — the largest private owner of U.S. farmland.

“BlackRock is going around and buying billions of dollars of American single-family homes,” Vance added. “That’s a problem whether Blackrock is getting the money from the Chinese or somewhere else. The issue is you want Americans to be able to buy those homes and actually own a stake.”

Specifically, Vance told Breitbart News he would co-sponsor Sens. Tom Cotton (R-AK) and Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) legislation that bans China and China-linked firms from buying land anywhere in the U.S.

Vance said he would like to see the legislation expanded to include restrictions on how many acres of land one particular Wall Street firm, corporation, or billionaire can purchase.

On the other hand, Ryan voted to pass the Inflation Reduction Act without raising concerns about farming provisions that do nothing to protect American farmland from continuing incursions from China. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) proposed an amendment to ban China from buying American farmland, but the measure was blocked by Senate Democrats.

Analysis from 2019 shows that about half a million acres of farmland in Ohio are owned by foreign investors — primarily from China, Germany, and the Netherlands. Bill Gates alone now owns nearly 250,000 acres across 19 states, including nearly 9,000 acres in Ohio.

In 2021, Chinese investors were allowed to buy $6.1 billion worth of homes and land across the U.S. Most recently, a Chinese firm bought 300 acres of farmland in North Dakota that sits just 20 minutes from a U.S. Air Force Base.

The latest U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) figure reveals that Chinese investors’ holdings of U.S. farmland skyrocketed from 13,720 acres in 2010 to 352,140 acres in 2020. Foreign investors now hold interest in more than 37 million acres of U.S. farmland — a region larger than the state of Iowa.

As Breitbart News reported this week, Vance spoke on the need for a new Congress to reverse federal immigration laws that allows multinational corporations to replace American professionals, often in high-paying STEM jobs, with cheaper foreign workers on the H-1B visa program.

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Republican J.D. Vance says a new Congress must reverse a policy that allows corporations to replace American professionals, often in high-paying STEM jobs, with cheaper foreign workers on the H-1B visa program.

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Saturday, the Ohio Senate candidate blasted a plan by OhioHealth where nearly 640 American tech and finance employees are being laid off and having their jobs sent to Accenture — a Fortune 500 multinational corporation notorious for importing foreign H-1B visa workers to replace Americans in white-collar jobs.

The interview took place over lunch after Vance’s second campaign stop for the day in Chillicothe — roughly 100 miles outside of Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Buckeye State Republican was making a swing through the southeast part of the state to channel his Appalachian roots with two weeks left in the race. Throughout the day, Vance, vying for the open United States Senate seat, visited Gallipolis in Gallia County, Chillicothe in Brown County, and Mt. Orab in Ross County.

While speaking with Breitbart News over a Mad Dog sandwich at 7 Mile Smokehouse, Vance spoke on a number of issues including what he calls the “bipartisan … big mistake” of shipping American jobs to China and, in some cases, Mexico, as well as crime, the U.S.-Mexico border, and inflation, which he attributes mainly to the Democrats shutting down American energy.

On the OhioHealth layoffs, set to occur early next month and continue through the beginning of 2023, Vance said federal law must be overhauled to ensure corporations like OhioHealth are not allowed to replace their American employees via third-party outsourcing firms like Accenture.

Generally speaking, a lot of the H-1B abuse we see is in the interests of the people hiring the [foreign visa] worker, who can undercut the wages of Americans, but is it in the interest of the 700 Ohioans who lost their jobs? Absolutely not,” Vance told Breitbart News.

“This is one of these issues where you actually need public policy to solve this problem because they’re taking advantage of a visa system that’s meant to ensure that American companies have the workers that they need, it’s not meant to undercut the wages of American workers in this country,” Vance continued. “Unfortunately, that’s what the H-1B visa is just being used to do right now.”

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), whom Vance is running against, has for years voted to increase foreign competition in the labor market that working and middle class Americans are forced to compete against.

“My argument to [Tim] Ryan is the legislature creates these policies that allow these companies to take advantage of American workers, the only real solution is for the legislature to make different policies,” Vance said. “I really think we have to cut down on the abuse of the H-1B visa system.”

The outsourcing-offshoring business model has proven extremely lucrative for Fortune 500 companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, JP Morgan Chase, and others as they often contract with “body shop” firms like Cognizant, Tata Consulting Services, Infosys, Accenture, IBM, and Capgemini to lay off their American employees and replace them with tens of thousands of foreign H-1B visa workers primarily from India.

Accenture, for instance, sought to import more than 3,800 foreign H-1B visa workers this year alone. In 2021, Accenture sought to bring 6,200 foreign H-1B visa workers to the U.S. to take white-collar American jobs.

While being laid off, Americans are often forced to train their foreign H-1B visa replacements. If they do not, in most cases, their employer withholds their severance package. There are about 650,000 foreign H-1B visa workers in the U.S. at any given moment.

In Ohio, alone, firms and corporations including Cognizant, Tata Consulting Services, Accenture, and JP Morgan Chase were allowed to fill more than 9,700 American white-collar professional jobs with foreign H-1B visa workers this year.

Vance said “the first principle” of national immigration policy ought to “be about defending the interests of America and America’s workers” rather than corporate special interests.

“The question when we allow a new person to come to America should be, ‘Is this in the interests of the people who live here? Or is this in the interests of some narrow, multinational corporate interests?'” Vance told Breitbart News.

Economic Policy Institute research has shown that most corporations importing foreign H-1B visa workers are making significant savings in wages paid by doing so.

Likewise, internal documents from the India-based HCL Technologies body shop firm have detailed how the company grows its profit margins by hiring cheaper foreign H-1B visa workers over American professionals who have worked in the tech industry for years.

Last year, Facebook reached two settlements with the federal government after it was sued for discriminating against qualified American professionals and graduates in favor of imported foreign H-1B visa workers.

Though Vance is one of only a couple of Republicans to speak on H-1B visa abuse this election cycle, the GOP base, swing voters, and a majority of Americans — for years — have said U.S. employers should boost wages and offer better benefits to attract Americans for jobs rather than being allowed to import foreign visa workers whenever possible.

The latest Rasmussen Reports survey on the issue shows that 57 percent of American adults, 65 percent of Republicans, and nearly 6-in-10 swing voters say companies should raise their pay and try harder to recruit Americans for blue-collar and white-collar jobs over the federal government subsidizing them with foreign labor year after year.

Communist China is behind a massive online disinformation campaign aimed at undermining the upcoming U.S. midterm elections, according to findings by a cybersecurity group.

China is using a network of social media accounts and altered news articles to "sow division both between the U.S. and its allies and within the U.S. political system itself," according to a threat assessment by Mandiant, a cybersecurity and intelligence organization that works with governments and the public sector. China’s latest efforts to undermine the American democratic process come amid parallel attempts by Russia and Iran to interfere with the upcoming elections.

The CCP influence operation, dubbed Dragonbridge, is attracting concern in the cybersecurity sector for its "aggressive attempts to discredit the U.S. democratic process, including attempts to discourage Americans from voting in the 2022 U.S. midterm elections," according to Mandiant’s research. The organization assesses "with high confidence" that the online campaign is "operating in support of the political interests of the People’s Republic of China."

Efforts by foreign actors to meddle in the upcoming elections have fueled concerns among federal authorities, including the FBI, which recently warned that an Iranian government-backed hacking collective is working to target U.S. entities. Russia also "is working to amplify doubts about the integrity of U.S. elections" as voters head to the polls next week, according to the Associated Press.

The CCP’s Dragonbridge operation has similar hallmarks to those of other foreign actors, according to Mandiant. Dragonbridge, through a network of online social media accounts that obfuscate their true identity, is promoting "narratives that appeared intended to discredit and undermine the U.S. political system."

In September, for instance, Dragonbridge-affiliated accounts posted an English-language video on online platforms that included "content attempting to discourage Americans from voting in the upcoming U.S. midterm elections." Like the efforts helmed by Russia and Iran, China wants to sow doubts about "the efficacy of voting and of U.S. government institutions more broadly," according to Mandiant.

The video, portions of which were captured by Mandiant, claimed "the solution to America's ills is not to vote for someone," but to "root out this ineffective and incapacitated system"—a narrative that mirrors those promoted by U.S.-based radical groups on the left and right.

Chinese operators also promoted rhetoric meant to divide Americans and reinforce the impression that the country is irrevocably broken.

Dragonbridge content collected by Mandiant promotes the narrative "that political infighting, partisanship, polarization, and division had become fundamental aspects of American democracy. The campaign also pointed to frequent mentions of ‘civil war’ on social media and incidents of politically motivated violence, including confrontations between individuals supporting opposing parties and acts against the FBI, as evidence of the deterioration of the political process and its impending demise."

The group also has been observed altering actual news articles and pushing content that appears to be legitimate but is actually the product of CCP manipulation.

Throughout the 2022 election cycle, the CCP-orchestrated campaign has exhibited "aggressiveness through both the content of its narratives and its willingness to experiment with new tactics to accomplish its aims," according to Mandiant. This includes attempts to mobilize American protesters to take to the streets and potentially commit violent acts.

"Such persistence, combined with clear intent and scale, renders the campaign a priority for monitoring," the security group warned.

John Hultquist, head of threat intelligence for Mandiant, said in a statement that while Russia and Iran are more aggressive in their efforts to undermine U.S. elections, "what’s troubling [about the CCP groups is] their aggressive growth."

 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?

The State Department readout of the call, published on Sunday (the call appears to have taken place on Monday Beijing time), does not mention anything that Wang said, instead focusing on Blinken, who allegedly “raised Russia’s war against Ukraine” and the “security situation in Haiti.” The Chinese Foreign Ministry and the government, through state propaganda outlet Global Times, offered much more specificity, depicting a frustrated Wang hectoring Blinken to urge the administration of left-wing President Joe Biden to stop trying “to contain and suppress China.”

The tone echoed that of multiple past encounters between the two, as well as discussions held between Blinken and other Chinese Communist Party envoys, in which aggressive Chinese representatives badgered Blinken over his government not acting sufficiently in the best interests of China. The pattern began after a disastrous meeting between Blinken and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and Wang and senior Politburo member Yang Jiechi in Alaska last year during which Yang ranted for 16 minutes about alleged racism and “Black Lives Matter” in America.

“On human rights, we hope the United States will do better on human rights. China has made steady progress in human rights, and the fact is that there are many problems within the United States regarding human rights, which is admitted by the U.S. itself as well,” Yang protested in Alaska. “The challenges facing the United States in human rights are deep-seated. They did not just emerge over the past four years, such as ‘Black Lives Matter.’ It did not come up only recently.”

The Biden representatives notably did not mention the fact that China is currently engaging in genocide against majority-Muslims groups in occupied East Turkistan, among other Communist Party atrocities.

According to the State Department, Blinken “discussed the need to maintain open lines of communication and responsibly manage the U.S.-PRC [China] relationship” with Wang, adding no more detail on what would presumably be the most important issue between the top diplomats of the U.S. and the People’s Republic of China.

“The Secretary raised Russia’s war against Ukraine and the threats it poses to global security and economic stability,” the readout continued. “The Secretary also noted the deteriorating humanitarian and security situation in Haiti and the need for continued coordinated action in support of the Haitian people.”

In contrast, the Chinese Foreign Ministry depicted a fuming Wang berating Blinken on American foreign policy.

“The US side should stop its efforts to contain and suppress China, and not create new obstacles to the relationship between the two countries,” the ministry paraphrased Wang as saying. “Wang Yi pointed out that bringing China-US relations back to the track of stable development is not only in the common interests of China and the US, but also the general expectation of the international community.”

The Global Times claimed that Wang spent much of the call pressuring Blinken to closely study the 2022 Communist Party Congress, which concluded last month and cemented dictator Xi Jinping’s stranglehold on power. The Congress, which occurs every five years, determines who remains or gets promoted to the Politburo, the highest authority in the Party. This year, Xi removed several top officials on the basis of their advanced age, replacing them with a host of loyalists that are unlikely to question controversial policies such as an endless wave of city lockdowns to fight Chinese coronavirus.

The Congress was also the site of a bizarre scene in which elderly former President Hu Jintao, who preceded Xi Jinping in power, appeared to be hauled off violently by security while pleading with Xi for mercy. Hu has not been seen in public since his apparent purge was caught on camera.

Wang, the Global Times said, essentially assigned Blinken to read Xi Jinping’s report to the Congress as homework.

“If the US truly wants to know about China, it should carefully read the report, Wang said, noting that China’s domestic and diplomatic policies are open and transparent and its strategic intention is frank and forthright,” the state newspaper relayed, “and the US should not make subjective conjectures, nor be blinded by its ideological prejudice.”

It also repeated Wang’s lecture on respecting the genocidal communist Chinese government.

“When talking with Blinken, Wang pointed out that bringing bilateral relation back on track is not only in accordance with the two countries’ mutual interests, but also what the international community expects,” the Global Times reported. “The US should stop cracking down on China, and also stop trying to put up new obstacles to bilateral relations, Wang urged.”

The state newspaper nonetheless described the phone call as “positive” and potentially an avenue for future high-level talks, including a possible meeting between Biden and Xi. Biden and Xi are both expected to attend the G20 summit in Indonesia this month, but have not made any official announcements on meeting. As of Monday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry denied having any information on a potential in-person discussion between the two leaders.

The G20 is expected to be an explosive meeting this year due to its invite list, which not only includes Biden and Xi but both Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, whose nations are currently at war. Biden has publicly demanded Indonesia disinvite Putin to no avail.

Also expected to attend is Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whose relationship with Biden is arguably the world’s most deteriorated. The White House has denied any plans for Biden to meet with the crown prince amid a growing diplomatic crisis triggered by Washington accusing Riyadh of supporting OPEC oil production cuts to support Putin. The Saudi government has reacted to the accusation with outrage and received support from Zelensky. Saudi officials have also taken Biden’s strident stance as an indication to enhance diplomatic ties with China.

At least year’s G20 summit, Blinken and Wang repeated their regular scolding sessions on the issue of Taiwan, which did not reportedly come up during this week’s call. Taiwan is a sovereign, democratic nation off the coast of China that has long sought relations with America. Beijing falsely claims Taiwan as a province of China and regularly pressures America to cut economic and strategic ties with Taipei, even though Washington does not recognize Taiwan as a country.

“We urge the United States to realize the serious harm of the ‘Taiwan independence,’ to pursue a real one-China policy, instead of a fake one, to fulfill its commitments to China faithfully rather than treacherously,” Wang demanded last year.

Wang also complained about specific legislation in the American Congress at the time, meddling in domestic affairs.

“The United States has wantonly interfered with China’s internal affairs, Wang stressed, noting that the current U.S. Congress has introduced more than 300 anti-China bills,” Xinhua reported, “and the United States has included more than 900 Chinese entities and individuals in various unilateral sanctions lists, which severely disrupted the normal bilateral exchanges.”

Feds Charge 7 Chinese Nationals Over Plot to Repatriate U.S. Resident to China

WASHINGTON (Reuters)—The United States unsealed criminal charges on Thursday against seven Chinese nationals accused of waging a surveillance and harassment campaign against a U.S. resident and his family, in a bid by the Chinese government to repatriate one of them back to China.

The eight-count indictment, unsealed in a U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, New York, is the latest case by the Justice Department targeting China's apparent expatriation campaign, known as "Operation Fox Hunt."

The seven individuals charged are Quanzhong An, 55, of Roslyn, New York his daughter Guangyang An, 34, and five others still in China: Tian Peng, Chenghua Chen, Chunde Ming, Xuexin Hou, and Weidong Yuan.

The lead defendant, Quanzhong An, and his daughter were arrested on Thursday morning. The rest of the defendants remain at large. The United States does not have an extradition treaty with China.

According to the indictment, Quanzhong An is accused of working at the behest of China's Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to harass and intimidate a Chinese man and his son living in the United States. The man and his son are identified only as "John Doe-1 and John Doe-2."

As part of the plot, the defendants allegedly coerced a relative of the family to travel from China to the United States in a bid to convince John Doe-1 to return to the country.

At a meeting in a restaurant in Sept. 2018, the relative explained to John Doe-2 that he had been forced to travel there by the government as part of a plan to repatriate the 100 most-wanted fugitives, the indictment said.

Other examples of harassment the family endured included a letter-writing campaign, with one letter warning that "coming back and turning yourself in is the only way out."

The Chinese government also filed a lawsuit against the father and son in a New York state court, claiming the father had stolen money from a Chinese employer and his son illegally profited from the scheme.

"The victims in this case sought to flee an authoritarian government, leaving behind their lives and family, for a better life here. That same government sent agents to the United States to harass, threaten, and forcibly return them to the People's Republic of China," said Michael Driscoll, the FBI's assistant director in charge in the New York office.

Trafalgar Poll: Majority Support Republican J.D. Vance, 10 Points over Democrat Tim Ryan

Republican J.D. Vance secured 53.9 percent of support from likely voters in the Ohio U.S. Senate race and has a ten-point lead over Democrat Rep. Tim Ryan in the latest Trafalgar Group poll.

Trafalgar’s late Sunday night poll showed that 53.9 percent of voters in Ohio would support Vance in the midterm election in just two days, compared to the 43.5 percent who said they would support the Democrat. Only 2.5 percent were undecided.

The poll sampled the 1,123 likely general election voters from November 3 to 5, with a 2.9 percent margin of error and a 95 percent confidence level. The poll’s respondents were 45.1 percent Republican, 40.6 percent Democrat, and 14.3 percent had no party or other affiliation.

Sunday night’s Ohio poll indicated that Vance had gained ground since the Trafalgar poll from roughly three weeks ago when the Buckeye State Republican had support from 47.3 percent, leading Ryan by 3.5 points when the congressman had 43.8 percent support.

During the election cycle, the two candidates have gone back and forth on who would be better to represent the state. However, Ryan has done a disservice to himself by trying to campaign like a moderate.

In fact, during the first debate between the two, Ryan, who votes with his own party’s leadership 100 percent of the time, said that politicians “who don’t have to guts to stand up to their own party” are a “huge threat to democracy.”

But, as Breitbart News has reported in the past, Ryan has voted with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and President Joe Biden 100 percent of the time in the most recent Congress. Additionally, Ryan has even claimed to align himself with Trump’s policies occasionally, even though he only voted for Trump’s agenda 16 percent of the time.

However, Vance acknowledged during an exclusive interview with Breitbart News that, despite what Ryan is saying, the country needs a “new generation of leaders,” not the “old generation” like his opponent the congressman is a part of.

Ohio’s U.S. Senate race is critical to the Republicans’ chance to retake the majority in the 2022 midterm elections. With Ohio currently being represented by a Republican, it is crucial for the party to keep the seat.

The Senate is currently divided 50-50 between the parties, with Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote. Senate Republicans must hold seats in states such as Ohio and Pennsylvania and net at least one seat to put the GOP back in the majority and hinder Biden’s agenda.

The Ohio Senate election, along with other races throughout the country, will take place on November 8.
