Leader of the Select Committee on the CCP warned that ‘we have to be super vigilant’ against potential communist Chinese influence operations. ACTUALLY, WE NEED TO BE SUPER VIGILANT AGAINST RED CHINA AND BIDEN!
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.
TOM FITTON - JUDICIAL WATCH
Breitbart Political Editor Emma-Jo Morris’s investigative work at the New York Post on the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” also captured international headlines when she, along with Miranda Devine, revealed that Joe Biden was intimately involved in Hunter’s businesses, appearing to even have a 10 percent stake in a company the scion formed with officials at the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party.

Hunter has reportedly sold five paintings worth $75,000 each to an anonymous buyer. Hunter’s art dealer, Georges Bergès, has previously boasted he had strong ties to businessmen in Communist China, which has concerned many due to the Biden family’s business ventures abroad.
“We are 95% sure that that artwork went to China,” Comer said. “We don’t know where exactly that went to in China, but we’re going to try to find out when we get subpoena power.”

‘60 Minutes’ 13-Minute Segment on Surge of Chinese Illegals Spends Zero Seconds on the Threat
On Sunday, “60 Minutes” reported that Chinese nationals are the “fastest-growing group” of illegal immigrants into the U.S. But, without devoting a single second to the threat posed by the illegal arrivals from a hostile communist regime, it blamed “tensions” with the U.S. for making it more difficult to enter legally.
The segment features Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi reporting from a popular gap in the California border, through which illegal aliens are able to easily enter the country without confrontation.
Not once in her 13-minute segment does Alfonsi mention the possibility that any of the illegal immigrants from Communist China may be seeking to do us harm. Instead, she fawns over the Chinese nationals illegally breaking into the U.S., portraying them as “middle-class” bankers, business owners and job-seekers pursuing “freedom.”
“Oh, my goodness,” Alfonsi exclaimed, when one of the Chinese illegals said she was a teacher.
“Many of the migrants told us they made the journey to escape China's increasingly repressive political climate and sluggish economy,” Alfonsi said.
One reason the Chinese are entering the U.S. illegally is that the U.S. is granting fewer visas, due to “tensions between the two countries,” Alfonsi says – failing to mention that the U.S. has tightened its visa policy in an effort to protect itself from the growing threat of Chinese spying, hacking, fentanyl facilitation, etc.:
“For years, millions of Chinese entered the U.S. with a visa that allowed them to visit, work, or study.
“But, in the last few years, those visas have been increasingly difficult to secure, as tensions between the two countries have grown.
“In 2016, the U.S. granted 2.2 million temporary visas to Chinese nationals. In 2022, it was just 160,000.”
“It only takes one terrorist“ and Pres. Xi Jinping of China would “happily and enthusiastically“ exploit Pres. Biden’s catch-and-release policies, “to bring pain and terror to the American people,“ Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) warned in a recent Senate speech, noting that U.S. Border Patrol apprehended more Chinese migrants in Fiscal Year 2023 than it did in the previous ten years - combined.
It’s easier to simply enter the U.S. illegally, especially since Chinese nationals are three times more likely to be granted asylum, than are illegal immigrants from other countries, Alfonsi said:
“According to the Department of Justice, last year, 55% of Chinese migrants were granted asylum, compared to 14% for every other nationality. With the odds in their favor and a phone to guide them, there's little to discourage more Chinese migrants from coming through the gap near Jerry Schuster's place.”
And, even if they’re apprehended trying to break into the U.S, the Chinese nationals will be back on the streets within 72 hours, Alfonsi noted:
“Typically, within 72 hours, they are released into the United States and can begin the process of filing an asylum claim.”
“What do some migrants do after being released by border patrol? They call an Uber and they're gone,” the segment ended, teasing another immigration story.

Via John Hinderaker of Power Line, Andy McCarthy at National Review has a stunning piece outlining the depths of Joe Biden's involvement as China's little agent, tying together details which will make you wanting to take a shower afterward.
But it is different, with millions of dollars changing hands and U.S. influence waning significantly. If this isn't dealt with in Congress, the stage will be set for any elected leader to do the same. Now that the facts are known, Andy McCarthy argues, that Joe cannot escape his China scandal paper trail at the very least. One hopes that he is right because the bribery and treason here couldn't be more real.

US ‘Would Be Naive’ to Assume CCP Won’t Attempt Election Interference: House China Committee Leader

The United States “would be naive” to assume that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) won’t try to interfere with the 2024 elections, according to a House panel leader on strategic competition with the regime.
Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.), the ranking Democrat on the Select Committee on the CCP, noted at a Feb. 5 Semafor panel that the Chinese regime has developed a “very, very sophisticated approach to discourse power.”
Deepfakes—the manipulation of facial appearance through artificial intelligence to create and refine fake content—is but one technology Beijing is trying to employ for political interference in Taiwan and elsewhere, he said.
“I think we would be naive that either the CCP or CCP aligned actors would not attempt to use some of this technology here in the U.S.,” he told the attendees. Beijing, he suggested, could spread its influence through social media ads, such as on China-owned TikTok, which, based on recent Pew Research Center data, has become the primary news source for one third of Americans under 30.
“You can easily see how certain content that might be critical of one individual in our country or might be supportive of another individual in our country could be manipulated,” he said. “We see that certainly with regard to content critical or supportive of the CCP, it’s possible ... it’s within what they can do.”
Concerns over the CCP’s election interference came into focus with the recent Taiwan presidential election. The weeks leading up to polling day saw the regime ramping up a war of words, threatening the use of military force to annex the self-ruling island while sending suspicious balloons and a satellite that Taiwan officials said was on an “abnormal trajectory.”
Whether it’s propping up one candidate over another, or sowing discord, “we have to be super vigilant,” he said.
“The Taiwanese were a model for monitoring what social media interference looks like from the CCP. They were very good at exposing disinformation, the Ukrainians are very good at this today with regard to the Russians, I think we can learn lessons from them with regard to potential political interference or worse—cyber attacks.”
Such cyber attacks can pose real world threats.
At a cybersecurity hearing the China Committee hosted last week, FBI director Christopher Wray told lawmakers they have dismantled a major Chinese state-sponsored hacking group targeting U.S. critical infrastructure with the intent to disrupt, degrade, and destroy U.S. infrastructure in the event of a military conflict.
Analysts and assessments from the intelligence community have further added weight to Mr. Krishnamoorthi’s concerns.
A declassified report the National Intelligence Council released in December said that Chinese cyber actors had attempted to meddle in the 2022 U.S. midterm elections by trying to undermine certain political candidates and promote others.
One Chinese influence campaign involved covertly denigrating a U.S. senator using inauthentic accounts. While the report didn’t find Beijing targeting specific election infrastructure, it noted that Chinese cyber actors had scanned more than 100 U.S. state and national political party domains. It also observed an increased focus in China’s English-language messaging efforts on TikTok on divisive issues such as abortion, mass shootings, and immigration.
The regime has shown “greater willingness to conduct election influence activities than in past cycles,” the report stated.
Since 2020, senior top Chinese officials have issued “broad directives” to intensify efforts to turn U.S. policy and public opinion in the CCP’s favor, giving the operatives more freedom for such activities ahead of the 2022 midterms, in part because “they did not expect the current administration to retaliate as severely as they feared in 2020.”

Joe Biden Promises 2024 Campaign for More Migration and Amnesty
An angry President Joe Biden said he would make immigration a central issue in his 2024 campaign if Senate Republicans do not back his more-migration bill on Wednesday.
“If the bill fails, I want to be absolutely clear about something,” Biden told reporters at the White House on Tuesday.
The American people are going to know why it fails. I’ll be taking this issue to the country … Every day between now and November, the American people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican friends.
“It is great news if the President wants to make immigration a key issue for the 2024 election,” responded Chris Chmielenski, president of the Immigration Accountability Project. “People know that the chaos started when Biden took over the White House,” he said.
In his Tuesday speech, Biden touted support for his migration-expanding bill from the investor-dominated U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Wall Street Journal, saying:
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce supports this bill because they know this bill is not just good for the border, it’s also good for American business and for the American economy. And it’s why the [editorial board of the] Wall Street Journal endorsed the bill. The headline this morning reads “A Border Security Bill Worth Passing.”
But Americans do not want business groups to run the nation’s immigration system, Chmielenski noted:
Americans don’t want to see more migrants coming into the country to help boost the economy if it means American workers are going to lose … They understand that our current immigration system is a detriment to our economy because we’re bringing in millions of workers that we don’t need for lower-skilled jobs … [and many] white-collar workers to take jobs that Americans are willing to take for higher wages.
“That’s what the Chamber of Commerce and Wall Street are pushing for … [but] Americans [prefer migrants] that won’t directly compete with them but will complement them,” he said.
Biden also insisted he would push for amnesties in the 2024 campaign, saying “We’re not walking away from true immigration reform including permanent protections and a pathway to citizenship for young DREAMers who came here when they were children.”
McConnell: Open Borders Bill Has “No Real Chance” to Pass
C-SPANBiden’s 2024 challenge to Trump came after the caucus of 49 GOP Senators decided not to support the bill in a Wednesday vote, despite advocacy by GOP Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), and other Senators.
The GOP decision came despite much establishment pressure — but amid a populist pushback that GOP Senators are closely tracking.
“A vote for this border surrender bill is a vote for Biden’s open-border policies,” said William Gheen, the president of ALIPAC, a grassroots group that opposes politicians who back pro-migration policies.
Many polls show that the public wants reduced migration, especially reduced labor migration.
In 2014, the GOP gained five Senate seats after Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) helped pass the very unpopular “Gang of Eight amnesty through the Senate. The bill was blocked in the House by GOP activists.
Yet the Democrats’ 2024 bill only promises more — albeit better-organized — migration into Americans’ communities and workplaces.
Many polls also show that Biden’s easy-migration policy is a political deadweight in 2024, raising the GOP’s hope of winning a majority in the U.S. Senate.
ABC News reported on February 5:
According to a Nov. 3-4 poll from ABC News/Ipsos, American adults said they trusted Republicans to do a better job handling immigration than Democrats, 36 percent to 24 percent. That 12-point gap was tied for Republicans’ second-biggest advantage on any issue (out of 11 tested).
And acrosssevennonpartisanpollsconductedinJanuary,* President Joe Biden’s average approval rating on immigration and/or the southern border was just 29 percent, and his average disapproval rating was 63 percent. That’s significantly worse than his already-poor 39-percent-to-57-percent average approval and disapproval ratings in those same polls.
ABC added, “16 percent of independents also identified immigration as their most important problem, which was up from 6 percent in July.”
Republican candidates should recognize that 70 percent of swing-voting independents “strongly” or “somewhat” favor the deportation of illegal migrants, according to a poll by Cygnal that was released mid-January. The report advised:
Republican candidates at all levels would be wise to tap into this sentiment and contrast themselves with a sheepish bench of Democrats who have largely let the issue fester to a boiling point no locality can afford to further ignore because it’s impacting voters day-to-day lives.
Biden’s migration failure also worsens voters’ worries about the economy. The polling firm of TIPP Insights issued a report on February 4 noting:
Nearly four in ten (38%) Americans picked the economy as the country’s most important issue, followed by immigration/border security at 36 percent and crime at 19 percent as the other top concerns. Interestingly, the importance of immigration increased sharply from 29% in December to 36% in January and remained at that level in February.
…
A recent TIPP Poll and Bankrate survey revealed that the majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Their wages have not grown, while stubborn Bidenflation, at 17 percent, has taken a toll on their finances. Only one-third (34%) say they’re better off than four years ago.
The report is titled “America’s Immigration Anxiety Amidst A Gloomy Outlook On The Direction Of Country.”
Biden’s eagerness to challenge Trump on immigration politics likely reflects his growing dislike of Trump. On February 1, Politico reported:
The president [Biden] has described Trump to longtime friends and close aides as a “sick fuck” who delights in others’ misfortunes, according to three people who have heard the president use the profane description. According to one of the people who has spoken with the president, Biden recently said of Trump: “What a fucking asshole the guy is.”
Extraction Migration
Since at least 1990, the federal government has relied on Extraction Migration to grow the economy after allowing investors to move the high-wage manufacturing sector to lower-wage countries.
The migration policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries. The additional workers, consumers, and renters push up stock values by shrinking Americans’ wages, subsidizing low-productivity companies, boosting rents, and spiking real estate prices.
The economic policy has pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors, reduced native-born Americans’ productivity and political clout, reduced high-tech innovation, crippled civic solidarity, and allowed government officials and progressives to ignore the rising death rate of discarded Americans.
The policy also sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by subsidizing coastal investors and government agencies with a flood of low-wage workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-aided consumers.
The colonialism-like policy has also killed many thousands of migrants, including many on the taxpayer-funded jungle trail through the Darien Gap in Panama.
Mail-in voter fraud and the 2020 election
A country cannot survive, let alone thrive, when the voting process itself has been tainted, thereby driving a significant portion of the citizenry to no longer trust in the electoral system. In the United States, we have generally been immune from this nightmare scenario, at least for the most part. Yes, we have had our share of highly contested elections, most recently in 2000. But these situations have been much more the exception than the norm in the United States over the past two centuries.
Unfortunately, it has become clear that the 2020 presidential election did not reach this historically high bar due to the sheer level of fraud mail-in voters admitted to committing in the 2020 election.
Our story begins in the months leading up to the 2020 election, when several states, including all the critical swing states, changed their voting rules under the pretext that traditional in-person voting was dangerous due to the pandemic. Rather than having most people vote in-person, which is the most safe and secure method to cast a ballot, dozens of state officials usurped the power of state legislatures and implemented unprecedented (and unconstitutional) measures to encourage mass voting by mail.
These dubious changes to state voting procedures resulted in a record-breaking number of ballots cast by mail in the 2020 election. At the same time, the percentage of mail-in ballots that were rejected by state officials was far below the historical average.
It just so happens that Joe Biden received a far greater share of the record-high mail-in votes in the 2020 election. In fact, at the national level, Biden received nearly twice as many mail-in votes compared to Trump.
Fast-forward to late 2023, when the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports conducted a survey that found at least one-in-five mail-in voters admitted to committing at least one type of election fraud. To put it mildly, the poll caused a stir in the media.
The shocking poll results also begged the question: Did widespread mail-in voter fraud impact the outcome of the 2020 election?
In short, the answer is: Yes, it probably did.
Make no mistake, that conclusion was not reached in haste. On the contrary, my colleagues and I came to that conclusion after rigorous analysis of the raw polling data supplied by Rasmussen coupled with state-based mail-in voting figures.
All of this information is available in a newly released Heartland Policy Study titled: "Who Really Won the 2020 Election? Measuring the Effect of Mail-in Ballot Fraud in the Trump-Biden Race for the White House."
According to the report, “the best available evidence suggests that mail-in ballot fraud significantly impacted the 2020 presidential election, in favor of Joe Biden. In other words, had the 2020 election been conducted like every national election has been over the past two centuries, wherein the vast majority of voters cast ballots in-person rather than by mail, Donald Trump would have almost certainly been re-elected.”
Truth be told, the main reason we decided to investigate the 2020 election in such detail is not because we are interested in relitigating the 2020 election. Our primary objective is to prevent anything like what occurred in the 2020 election from ever happening again.
To avert a repeat of the 2020 election, and to minimize the chances of fraud impacting future elections, we’ve included several commonsense policy recommendations that we believe will increase election integrity. For instance, we advise states to clean up their outdated and inaccurate voter registration rolls while encouraging in-person voting as much as possible.
The countdown to the 2024 election is already underway, with the odds of a Trump-Biden rematch appearing more likely by the day. It is of paramount importance that the integrity of the 2024 election is not questioned en masse by either side. We need to return to a time when the American people overwhelmingly trusted the veracity of elections. We need to keep things simple and transparent when it comes to the voting process. We need to know with a high degree of certainty that our elections are free and fair. We need to know that our vote still actually matters.
