President Trump Drops Truth Bomb On Beijing, China Freaks Out While Democrats Insist Voter Data Is Basically Free

President Trump’s explosive allegations against China on Thursday night have left the Chinese Communist Party and its American enablers scrambling for excuses.

Speaking from the White House, POTUS accused China of committing the largest compromise of election data in history. He said Beijing had illicitly obtained information from roughly 220 million American voter files during the 2020 election cycle.

The Chinese Communist Party responded with its usual straight faced denial while longtime China watchers in Washington wondered aloud how Trump could possibly maintain any relationship with Xi Jinping after laying out the facts.

“China has all along adhered to the principle of non interference in others’ internal affairs,” Chinese Embassy spokesman Liu Chang said in a statement. “The U.S. election is an internal matter of the U.S. Its outcome is determined by the votes of the American people. China has never and will never interfere in the presidential elections of the U.S.”

The fresh accusations have raised questions about a possible summit between Trump and Xi later this year.

Longtime observers of China immediately began asking how Trump’s stated desire for a working relationship with Xi could survive evidence that Beijing had swiped a massive trove of American voter information.

Bill Bishop, publisher of the Sinocism newsletter, wondered how anyone could still pretend everything was normal. “So how can he still be friends with Xi after what he says the PRC just did in stealing 220m voter files?” Bishop wrote on X.

“If any of these allegations are true how can this not be a rupture?”China hawk Gordon Chang, author of “Plan Red” and “China Is Going To War”, said Beijing’s leaders were almost certainly rattled by Trump’s decision to make the intelligence public.

“China’s leaders are almost certainly in a panic right about now,” Chang wrote. “Bravo, President Trump, for revealing China’s massive interference in our elections and in our society.”“Trump just showed China who’s boss.”

Not everyone was impressed. Senator Mark Warner, the Democrat vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, brushed the whole thing off by noting that voter registration data has long been available for purchase. “The idea that somehow these countries are gathering voter files, these are publicly available. You don’t have to hack into them. You can buy them,” Warner told CBS News.

Trump’s claims go beyond the limited assessments released during his first term. A January 2021 intelligence community review said China probably kept up its usual efforts to collect information on American voters and public opinion. A later partially declassified report found that Chinese intelligence had analyzed voter registration data from multiple states.

Neither assessment accused China of changing vote totals or hacking election systems.Just one day before Trump spoke, a Pew Research Center survey found that China is now viewed more favorably than the United States in 25 of the 36 countries polled. It marked the first time in two decades of Pew polling that Beijing had overtaken Washington in a majority of nations surveyed. Researchers blamed the shift on China’s growing influence and fading global respect for the United States.

Swalwell (D) freaks out--threatens legal action against FBI as Patel considers "Fang Fang" files release

Democrat Rep. Eric "Gas Man" Swalwell (CA) is threatening legal action against the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as it reportedly considers releasing potentially damaging files just weeks before he faces voters in California’s wide-open gubernatorial race. 

Never mind that Swalwell was diddling a Communist Chinese spy, he wants his privacy.

Lawyers for below average Swalwell sent a cease-and-desist letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, warning the bureau would violate federal privacy law if it moves ahead with releasing records regarding the congressman’s decade-old relationship with possible Chinese spy named Christine "Fang Fang" Fang.

"[Y]our attempt to release the file is a transparent attempt to smear him and undermine his campaign for Governor of California," Swalwell’s attorneys, Sean Hecker and Norm Eisen, said in a recent letter to Patel obtained by The Associated Press. "Your actions threaten to expose you, others at the FBI, and the FBI itself to significant legal liability. Indeed, disclosure of the investigative file would violate federal law in several respects."

Actually, an investigation might uncover more honey trap Chinese spies working Capitol Hill.

The FBI rejected claims of political motives in a statement to The Washington Post, which it also shared with Fox News Digital.

FBI Director Kash Patel is reportedly weighing the release of files related to Rep. Eric Swalwell's decade-old relationship with suspected Chinese intelligence operative Christine "Fang Fang" Fang.

"This FBI, being the most transparent in history, prepares documents for numerous different reasons, including for release to different agencies and departments to further review investigations that may have been opened under previous administrations," an FBI spokesperson said.

The letter comes as The Washington Post first reported that Patel is weighing the release of investigative records related to Swalwell’s past relationship with Christine 'Fang Fang' Fang, who is accused of cultivating ties with Swalwell and other California Democrats for espionage purposes, as is the wont of spies.

The almost obvious Chinese spy operative helped fundraise for Swalwell’s 2014 House re-election campaign and placed at least one intern in his office. Swalwell cut off ties with Fang in 2015 after the FBI alerted him to the suspected Chinese influence campaign. 

He wasn't bright enough to figure this out for himself.

The Justice Department did not pursue criminal charges at the time and Swalwell has denied any wrongdoing. A probe launched by the House Ethics Committee also concluded in 2023 without accusing Swalwell of any violations.

Lawyers for Swalwell, a Democrat, have threatened the FBI with legal action if the bureau forges ahead with releasing decades-old files relating to his relationship with a probable Chinese spy.

Swalwell’s lawyers also accused Patel of potentially violating long-maintained DOJ policy that prohibits law enforcement from taking any public investigatory action against political candidates in the two months prior to an election.

Early voting for California’s June 2 gubernatorial primary begins in early May. Swalwell, who is on the Democratic side of the aisle, is vying to be among the top two vote-getters that advance to the general election after jumping into the race in late 2025.

"It's not lost on me that we're 34 days until Californians start voting," Swalwell told CNN’s Brianna Keilar on Monday. "We've consistently been in the lead in this governor's race. And the president wants a Western White House."

Swalwell, a Democrat, is a vocal critic of President Donald Trump and served as an impeachment manager during the president’s second impeachment in 2021, following the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. His role as a manager was to keep count of the number of impeachment attempts the left has launched on the President. After all, Swalwell got a C+ in 8th grade math.

The California Democrat has also been criminally referred to the DOJ for alleged mortgage fraud.

The Gas Man has denied any wrongdoing over his relationship with spy Fang Fang Fang and was never criminally charged.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, (D-MD) has also blasted Patel for reportedly advocating for the release of the so-called "Fang Fang" files.

"What the hell does that have to do with law enforcement?" Raskin said Saturday. "This is plain weaponization of the FBI for partisan political purposes." Children all over the nation said "that man used a bad word."

Look, folks, here we go again with Eric Swalwell, the gift that keeps on giving to comedy writers everywhere. The guy whose idea of national security is apparently letting a Chinese honey trap waltz around his office is now waving legal threats at the FBI like it's his personal bouncer service. "Don't you dare release those files or we'll sue!" Because nothing says "I have nothing to hide" like trying to gag the bureau with a cease-and-desist letter right before voters get a say.

Classic Swalwell. 

The low-information Democrat who got easily played by "Fang Fang" like a kazoo is suddenly clutching his pearls over "privacy" and "legal liability." 

His lawyers are out there claiming it's all a dirty smear job timed to torpedo his long-shot gubernatorial dreams. Sure, because Kash Patel waking up one morning and thinking, "You know what would be fun? Releasing decade-old spy files on a random California congressman," is totally how this works. 

No, this smells more like the deep state finally getting a little sunlight after years of selective blindness.

And of course, the usual suspects are lining up to defend him. Jamie Raskin, bless his heart, is out there asking what any of this has to do with law enforcement. Jamie, when a suspected Chinese operative is fundraising for your campaigns and planting interns in your office, it has everything to do with law enforcement. But hey, in Democrat world, that's just "cultivating relationships." 

Shades of Dianne Feinstein.

Swalwell's out on CNN whining about the timing, how it's 34 days until voting starts and he's been leading (in his dreams, maybe). Meanwhile, the rest of us are wondering how a guy who couldn't spot a spy if she was wearing a "Made in Communist China" name tag thinks he's qualified to run the state that's already circling the drain.

This is peak Swamp, and in Swalwell's case, it's just as malodorous. 

The same crowd that spent years screaming about Russian collusion now cries "weaponization" the second someone suggests looking at actual Chinese influence ops. Sit back and watch, guys, November's going to be entertaining if this clown car keeps rolling.

Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Easting Contest Now a Spring Roll Eating Contest

Hot Dog Champ, Joey Chestnut, now must down spring rolls in the summer

Well, it was destined in the realm of things: Communist China has bought one of America's signature companies, Nathan's Famous, the hotdog king that started its journey in Brooklyn's Coney Island in1916. The franchise cost the commies  mere $450 million; they got a good deal.

I remember going to Nathan's as a kid after spending a day at the beach in Coney Island. We'd go as a family and with friends, play "lava" as the waves came in at the beach. We'd run back from the edge of the water onto the sand before the 'lava' hit our feet. Then go for a swim in water we dared not swallow.

The Smithfield Group, was itself bought by the Shuanghui Group in 2013, and now goes by the name WH Group. This group is owned by the Chinese Communist Party and its leadership is loaded with CCP honchos whose long-range goal was to buy American farmland. No big deal, other than being a national security threat. They owned roughly 150,000 acres of American land across 29 states, but has since reduced its land holding, perhaps to look less conspicuous.

Imagine, the first Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest will be held under the mayoral authority of none other than Zohran "Allahu Akbar!" Mamdani, New York's first anti-Zionist [aka antisemitic] mayor. How fitting that the CCP sponsored event will have a socialist in office.

You can't get more American than Nathan's, a company that began 110 years ago by a guy named Nathan Handwerker, four years after landing on our shore. He started out small with a little hotdog stand, and sold his products at a lower price than his competitors. By the time Major League Baseball named Nathan's as its official hotdog in 2017, the company became synonymous with baseball, barbecues, and America.

The big question on everybody's mind will be whether the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest will eventually become the Nathan's Famous Spring Roll Eating Contest. And can Joey Chestnut, the king of the contest, still win with downing spring rolls?

Holy Swalwell! Alleged Chinese Spy in Kathy Hochul’s Inner Circle Was Forging Signatures Like It Was No Big Deal?

You seriously can’t make this stuff up, folks.

Linda Sun, a high-flying New York Democrat insider who served under both Andrew "Love Gov" Cuomo and current Governor Kathy Hochul, has been indicted for allegedly acting as a straight-up Chinese agent. We're talking fraud, bribery, money laundering, and, just imagine this, failing to register as a foreign agent for the Chinese Communist Party.

But the juiciest part is how this woman was apparently so brazen that she was forging Kathy Hochul's 'Jane Hancock' on love letters to Chinese officials, like it was just another Tuesday in Albany. The New York Post dropped the bombshell details from the ongoing trial:

Alleged Chinese mole Linda Sun brazenly forged then-Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul’s signature in glowing missives sent to dignitaries from the Henan province, according to the feds and documents presented at her bombshell trial.

Jurors in Brooklyn federal court were shown copies of letters purportedly sent by Hochul on March 26, 2018, inviting a six-member delegation from the province in central China to a meeting with then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

But the letters bore clearly forged versions of Hochul's signature, that featured "overly loopy" handwriting, her former chief of staff Jeff Lewis testified.

"From my experience, this is not how she would sign her name," Lewis told jurors last week. That’s federal-prosecutor speak for "we caught your butt red-handed."

Prosecutors say Sun was running a full-on influence op: cozying up to Beijing, pushing their talking points inside New York government, blocking Taiwanese reps from events, and even trying to get Hochul to parrot CCP propaganda. All while her husband's business raked in millions from Chinese-connected deals and the family got gifted everything from fancy meals to a pet hamster [really].

This wasn't some low-level staffer. She was a top aide with the keys to the governor’s office; first Cuomo's, then Hochul's. A literal alleged Chinese mole burrowed deep inside New York’s power structure that would make even Eric Swalwell and Dianne Feinstein proud. 

And somehow this isn't 24/7 wall-to-wall national news? I cannot imagine why. 

We have Chinese spies popping up in California, in our universities, on military bases, and now allegedly forging signatures in the lieutenant governor’s office. 

Wake up, America! But sure, keep telling me the real national security threat is parents at school board meetings and those pesky MAGA Republicans. 

Unbelievable.

Trump leaves WHO, WHO cuts staff: who figured?

It looks like the globalist goons at the World Health Organization (WHO) are finally getting a taste of their own medicine—and it’s about damn time! The insidious architects of the disastrous Covid-19 lockdown policies are now facing some serious belt-tightening after the Trump administration told them to take a hike and withdrew from their little tyranny club. Cue the world’s tiniest violin.

You see, these sanctimonious international leeches and their buddies in hostile nations have gotten mighty comfy vilifying the United States while simultaneously slurping up American taxpayer dollars like it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet. So, naturally, they’re clutching their pearls in shock that Donald Trump—God bless his America-First soul—is slamming the cash register shut on their grift. That includes the United Nations’ WHO, a proud cheerleader for oligarchical tyranny that cribbed its awful Covid playbook straight from Communist China. Now they’re whining because our Republic won’t keep bankrolling their efforts to undermine our interests and founding principles. Boo-freaking-hoo. Hey, while we’re at it, how about we pull the plug on the terrorist-coddling, tyrant-loving UN entirely? Just a thought.

Trump didn’t waste a second this time around, yanking us out of the WHO with an executive order on his very first day back in office this January. That’s a refreshing upgrade from his first term, when he occasionally bought into some of the WHO’s devastating lockdown and vaccine nonsense. This move guts a hefty chunk of their funding—nearly a fifth, since the U.S. was footing 18 percent of their bill, according to Breitbart’s March 30 report. Maybe now the WHO can cozy up to their old pals in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for a bailout. I’m sure Xi Jinping’s got some spare yuan lying around.
In that January EO, Trump laid it out plain and simple: “China, with a population of 1.4 billion, has 300 percent of the population of the United States, yet contributes nearly 90 percent less to the WHO.”

During his first term, he said, we shelled out $500 million to the WHO—all so they could repay us with deadly health advice and a disturbing habit of kowtowing to the CCP, especially during Covid. What a deal, right?

Now, the WHO’s crying broke. A memo from their Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, dated March 28 and reported by Reuters, whined, “The United States’ announcement, combined with recent reductions in official development assistance by some countries to fund increased defence spending, has made our situation much more acute.” Translation: their piggy bank’s running dry, and they’re panicking. The memo also admitted, “The U.S. withdrawal has exacerbated a funding crisis due to member states reducing their development spending.” Oh, the humanity!

Facing a $600 million shortfall this year, the WHO’s proposing to slash its 2026-27 budget by 21 percent, from $5.3 billion to $4.2 billion. Breitbart noted they’d already trimmed their planned budget, but apparently, that wasn’t enough. “Despite our best efforts, we are now at the point where we have no choice but to reduce the scale of our work and workforce,” the memo sobbed. Good. That’s precisely what we voted for. America’s scraping by to fund its own government—sorry, WHO, we’re not your ATM anymore. Time to cut off these evil globalist clowns without so much as a penny.

Tampon Tim calls Musk "gay" in weird remarks

Walz seen with his LGBTQ+1 dog 

The man who put tampons in the boys' bathrooms, cut and run from the military when he found out his unit was going to deploy Iraq, his stolen valor when he claimed to have carried weapons of war "into combat," and his lie about his rank when he left the military, has called Elon Musk "gay."

This "manly man" who apparently cannot load a shotgun in under an hour and high-kicks like a Radio City Music Hall Rockette called the richest man on Earth "gay' and fails to see the irony. 

Not that there's anything wrong with being gay, but Walz did not mean it as a compliment--he meant it as a slur, and the Harris-Walz campaign is having a cow now that Walz revealed what he really thinks about those he pretends to support.

But it isn't as if Harris is a political genius. Her pick of the goofy, far-left Minnesota Governor, demonstrates her lack of good judgment, and her word salads highlight her bizarre thought processes. 

Walz had first called JD Vance "weird," but lo and behold, it was Walz who wins the booby prize of weirdness with his lies, his cowardice to deploy with his men, his odd gesticulations, and his cozy relationship with Communist China.

Walz obviously hates Elon. He has made derogatory comments about him like his "skipping like a dips**t when Elon returned with President Donald Trump to Butler, PA, where the former President was nearly assassinated.

‼️🇺🇸 Governor Tim Walz — who constantly is flailing on stage is criticizing Elon Musk (@elonmusk) for "skipping like a dipsh*t."

Who is this man to be talking?

JD Vance is a real man who will be our next VP, not Tampon Tim.

Go vote for Trump / Vance 2024! #TooBigToRig 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/el1zv0WLxZ— alexvsl 🇨🇦🇺🇸 (@aalexvsl) October 22, 2024

I would say that his rhetoric is like the pot calling the kettle black, but Musk isn't even the kettle in this case--if anyone is weird, it's Walz. The guy even lied about getting his PhD.

Harris campaign took money from CCP auto exec

VP Kamala Harris has raised a lot of money for her campaign against "Hitler," but that money came from a Communist executive in the auto industry who has close ties with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) because, coincidentally, she's a Communist!

[H/T Townhall News]

According to a Driving Force Action PAC report, the Vice President accepted money, initially meant for alleged President Joseph Biden, from Stella Ke Li, a Communist Chinese national and senior executive at BYD— a Chinese electric vehicle company seen as a national security threat.

In 2022, the Biden-Harris Administration gave $395,000 to a company called BYD as part of a big program to fund clean school buses. About six months before BYD got this money, someone named Ke Li sent $50,000 to help Kamala Harris's campaign for president. FEC filings show that Ke Li also gave $25,000 to a fund supporting Harris, $18,400 to the Democratic National Committee, and $6,600 directly to what was Biden's campaign but is now supporting Harris.

Driving Force Action penned a letter to Harris, demanding Harris return the money to Ken Li and disassociate from BYD and others with ties to the CCP.

BYD is a company that gets a lot of help from the Communist Chinese government. This help comes in the form of direct money support and projects that mix civilian and military uses. Reports say that BYD works on big projects with the military, like collecting data from cars and sharing technology with government-owned companies. Also, the woman who gave the money, Ke Li, is married to Wang Chuanfu, who started BYD and is an important member of the Chinese Communist Party.

The letter explained that when your campaign takes money from someone high up in a company that's closely linked to the Chinese government, it brings up big worries about right and wrong, and also about the safety of our country. You've talked before about not wanting to depend on other countries, like China, for important things such as electric cars. You've also said we should make more things in America and be worried about China leading in electric vehicles. But taking this money from BYD, a Chinese electric vehicle company, seems to go against what you've been saying.

The letter goes on to argue that if Harris is really committed to preserving American jobs and helping the country, she will remain transparent in her campaign. So far, Harris and her campaign have been as transparent as Mata Hari.

Another foreign agent for China acting as top Hochul aide, Feds say

New York, NY -- A former aide to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) was arrested along with her loving husband Tuesday morning. The couple were accused of acting as agents of the Communist Chinese government [aka CCP], according to the United States Attorney's Office.

Linda Sun, 41, who previously held various positions in New York state government before becoming deputy chief of staff for Hochul, is accused of acting as an undisclosed agent of both the People's Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party. Thomas M. Fattorusso, Special Agent in Charge of IRS CI New York, stated on Tuesday that Sun allegedly used Chinese funds and her influence within New York state to benefit the Chinese government.

"While appearing to serve the people of New York as Deputy Chief of Staff within the New York State Executive Chamber, the defendant and her husband actually worked to further the interests of the Chinese government and the CCP," officials said.

Sun has been charged with violations and conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act, along with visa fraud, alien smuggling, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

Her husband, Chris Hu, 40, faces charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering, bank fraud, and misuse of means of identification.

Prosecutors said that Sun, under the direction of Chinese officials, prevented representatives of the Taiwanese government from meeting with important officials in New York state. Sun also influenced New York governmental messages to match Chinese government priorities and tried to arrange a trip to China for a high-ranking politician in New York, according to the indictment. Hu is charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering, bank fraud, and misuse of identification.

In return, she and her husband got benefits like help with Hu’s business activities in China and free tickets to shows by visiting Chinese orchestra and ballet groups, according to the indictment. A chef working for a Chinese government official even made "Nanjing-style salted ducks" and delivered them to Sun’s parents’ home.

The couple then laundered the money they received, using it to buy their house in Manhasset, a $1.9 million condo in Hawaii, and luxury cars, including a 2024 Ferrari, the indictment states.

United States Attorney Breon Peace stated on Tuesday, "Instead of serving the people of New York as Deputy Chief of Staff within the New York State Executive Chamber, the defendant and her husband were actually working to benefit the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). This illegal scheme funneled millions of dollars to the defendant’s family. Our office is committed to taking vigorous action against individuals who act as covert agents for foreign governments."

The FBI searched the couple's home in Manhasset in late July but declined to release details at the time.

According to her LinkedIn profile, Sun spent approximately 15 years working in state government, holding various positions in Cuomo's administration and eventually becoming Hochul's deputy chief of staff. In November 2022, she transitioned to a role at the New York Department of Labor as the deputy commissioner for strategic business development, but she departed from that position just a few months later, in March 2023.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Hochul's office explained that the administration terminated Sun's employment after "discovering evidence of misconduct."

“This individual was hired by the Executive Chamber over a decade ago. We dismissed her in March 2023 after uncovering evidence of misconduct, promptly reported her actions to law enforcement, and have cooperated fully with authorities throughout the investigation," the statement reads.

BREAKING: Tim Walz investigated by House GOP over Communist China connections: Harris has good laugh over it

Vice Presidential Democrat nominee Tim Walz isn't just a stolen valor kind of guy who left the military and his men to avoid going to fight in Iraq. Walz is the kind of guy who is being investigated by the House Oversight Committee over his ties to Communist China and his "longstanding connections to Chinese Communist Party entities and officials."

The guy has "visited China 30 times, served as a fellow at a Chinese institution that maintains a devotion to the CCP, and spoke alongside the President of a Chinese organization the State Department exposed as a CCP effort to influence and co-opt local leaders."

He is also more than simply adept at using chopsticks, but that's neither here nor thither.

The committee posted on X, "Chairman James Comer has launched an investigation into Minnesota Governor Timothy Walz, Kamala Harris’s recently announced vice-presidential running mate, following reports detailing the Governor’s longstanding connections to Chinese Communist Party entities and officials."

"Mr. Walz has visited China 30 times, served as a fellow at a Chinese institution that maintains a devotion to the CCP, and spoke alongside the President of a Chinese organization the State Department exposed as a CCP effort to influence and co-opt local leaders," the committee added in the post, which was already mentioned.

"FBI briefers recently informed the Committee that the Bureau’s Foreign Influence Task Force investigates CCP activity that is similar to China’s engagement with Governor Walz. In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Chairman Comer is now requesting information, documents, and communications related to the CCP-connected entities and officials Governor Walz has engaged and partnered with."

In a letter addressed to FBI Director Wray, Oversight Committee Chairman Comer demanded that the FBI hand over documents concerning Walz’s communications with Chinese entities or officials associated with the CCP.

Comer provided a list of CCP-connected entities and officials that should be considered, including Confucius Institutes, the US China People’s Friendship Association, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the United States, among others.

In the letter, Comer mentioned that the committee had been "conducting a government-wide investigation into the Chinese Communist Party’s political warfare operations against America." He noted that the FBI briefed the Oversight Committee on April 22 and July 17 regarding CCP influence activities in the US. These briefings were intended to inform Congress as part of the broader investigation.

Comer also mentioned that the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force "investigates precisely the kind of activity that has since come to light about Governor Walz."

Another Colin K. makes the news: lied to press about Trump-era spy balloons

Do not trust the news media because they trust what's fed to them by government liars and propagandists. 

Alleged President Joe Biden did nothing until after a Chinese spy balloon finished collecting and transmitting its data as it flew over the United States. Days went by while Biden and whoever controls his strings knew about it after a civilian discovered it flying above his home. Finally, the military shot it down.

Now came cleanup in aisle nine.

Something had to be done to cover up Biden's indecisiveness, confusion and incontinence. The idea was to holler "squirrel!" and hope the nation will look away from Biden's latest clusterfrack, as I like to call it, and blame the Democrat's favorite fall guy, former President Donald Trump.

Colin Kahl

So a Pentagon official spoke to a gaggle of stenographers working for various news outlets and claimed that Chinese spy balloons wasn't unusual at all. In fact, three Chinese spy balloons traveled hither and thither and yon all over the place during the Trump administration, but suggested that he was too cowardly to have them shot down.

It was later revealed that the balloons in question were only over US territory for just a few minutes--one was off the coast of Hawaii--and it wasn't known at the time. They were discovered years after Trump left office so the claim of Trump's cowardice was as real as the invisible person Biden shakes hands with on occasion. 

The Pentagon refused to identify the official who gave the misleading commentary to the press, but two Republican senators have discovered who he is, as reported by The Washington Free Beacon.

Pentagon official Colin Kahl illegally leaked classified information about the Chinese spy balloon to deflect blame about the Biden administration’s mishandling of the situation, according to two Republican senators.

Biden was told to appoint Kahl for under secretary of defense for policy. He was the guy who provided "reporters" with classified information stating that the CCP spy balloons may have infiltrated the US during the Trump administration, as Senators Roger Wicker (R-MS) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) alleged.

Rather than checking the story, these so called reporters just reported what they were told, no questions asked. 

The Kahl propaganda appeared in stories at CNN, Bloomberg, and the Washington Post, as a way to shift blame from Biden and his handlers to Trump, while leaving out the critical point that it was much later after Trump left office that the prior balloons were discovered.

This was the first time that Kahl was named as the leaker of confidential information. He purposely misled naive reporters, including Jennifer Griffin of Fox News. Even she failed to check out the details. Not one reporter checked out the details and were easily lied to.

As Ronald Reagan is famous for saying: "trust, but verify."

I would just verify--they don't deserve our trust.

"No TikTok state ban for me, only for thee" Dem gov implies

Frau Whitmer

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) is the female version of South Park's Cartman: she does what she wants. But if you try it, you're in a world of trouble.

Michigan has banned the Communist Chinese-owned app TikTok on March 1st, on state-owned devices, but that doesn't stop Whitmer from flipping off the ban when it comes to herself.

“It is banned for state devices,” Jayson Cavendish, Michigan’s acting chief security officer, said in an interview with the MLive media group.

So TikTok is not allowed to be on state-owned devices except for Frau Whitmer's, which is the most state owned a state owned device can be.

The ban applies to all state-owned devices except for Whitmer, a [hypocrite], and for purposes of promotion, law enforcement, and cybersecurity, MLive reported.

Cavendish also noted, according to MLive, that Whitmer’s TikTok account “is accessed on a secure device that has never been on the state’s network, nor connected to the state’s wireless environment.”

Like most Democrat governors and others on the left, the rules don't apply to them, only to the peons who pay their salaries. So during the pandemic travel bans, Mr. Whitmer attempted to travel in order to take out his boat. The Landshark Bar & Grill in East Lansing where Gretchen sat with a large group of Democrats in violation of her own COVID-19 policies wasn't a problem as she saw it because hey, she's the governor. 

Gov. Newsom (D-CA) was with a dozen people at an expensive restaurant known as The French Laundry. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the very attractive Mayor of Chicago Lori Lightfoot (D) had their hair done at a salon when establishments such as those were ordered to remain closed. 

Back to Whitmer.

Since the ban, Whitemer has posted on TikTok many times, as late as last Thursday, because she's special.

“It’s a state of Michigan device, but it follows the guidelines that are in place for the exceptions,” said Bobby Leddy, a spokesman for the governor’s office. “And the exceptions are for any department that feels that they need it for their job to convey with the public, or for investigative purposes.”

I think it's time the public reacts to this elitist crap at the ballot box. However, most Democrats don't generally know who or what they're voting for. As Nancy Pelosi pointed out [and I paraphrase]: if a turd shaped like the letter "D" ran against any Republican in her state, the turd would win."

This seems to be a proven fact.

China is creating "brain-control weaponry" say officials

"You know you make me wanna Shout! Kick my heels up and Shout!"

The Biden administration set sanctions against a number of Chinese entities in December declaring that the nation that gave us COVID-19 and noodles was employing biotechnology to create "brain-control weaponry" along with other innovations that is a threat to U.S. national security.

“New intelligence shows China is using technologies like gene editing, and brain machine interfaces to enhance military capabilities and control its own people, machines that could allow a Chinese commando to discharge a weapon with just a thought, not a trigger finger,” Fox News national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin said. “This month the Biden administration targeted the emerging threat by levying sanctions on 37 Chinese biotechnology companies that have ties to this research that experts say include so called ‘mind control weapons.'”

Meanwhile, the Wuhan Lab is still humming full steam and Anthony Fauci is still calling the shots.

Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe warned that the U.S. is not going to use the same questionable practices that China is. “We’re not going to place our own soldiers, sailors, and airmen at risk, which is what the intelligence tells us the Chinese are willing to do,” he said. “They want to advance at any costs, including those that are harmful to their own population.”

“The Pentagon says Beijing already uses these technologies, including biometric surveillance tools and facial recognition to track dissidents and journalists and to suppress the Uyghurs,” Griffin added.

The U.S. Commerce Department said in a statement on December 16th:

Today, the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) took action to address the ongoing threats to U.S. national security and foreign policy presented by the People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s efforts to develop and deploy biotechnology and other technologies for military applications and human rights abuses. BIS is also taking action against entities operating in the PRC, Georgia, Malaysia, and Turkey for diverting or attempting to divert U.S. items to Iran’s military programs.

“The scientific pursuit of biotechnology and medical innovation can save lives. Unfortunately, the PRC is choosing to use these technologies to pursue control over its people and its repression of members of ethnic and religious minority groups. We cannot allow U.S. commodities, technologies, and software that support medical science and biotechnical innovation to be diverted toward uses contrary to U.S. national security,” said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina M. Raimondo. “The U.S. will continue to stand strong against efforts by the PRC and Iran to turn tools that can help humanity prosper into implements that threaten global security and stability.”

The final rule issued by the Commerce Department said that the actions taken against CCP entities were due to China using “biotechnology processes to support Chinese military end uses and end users, to include purported brain-control weaponry.”

A senior U.S. official told The Financial Times that China was seeking to use emerging biotechnologies to try to develop future military applications that included “gene editing, human performance enhancement [and] brain machine interfaces.”

If this doesn't sound Orwellian, then nothing does.

China gives kudos to Biden for allowing TikTok to spy on US

"To Communism"

Communist China's Ministry of Commerce sang the praises of President Joe Biden for reversing a Trump decision to halt U.S. downloads of China's spy apps WeChat and TikTok. 

The only reason Trump halted downloads from these apps is because he did not like the idea of China spying on Americans, while Biden doesn't see this as a problem since China only competes with us in trade, he said.

Gao Feng, a ministry spokesman and no relation to Feng Feng, the Chinese spy who got Eric Swalwell to "swell quite well," praised the Biden-Harris-Squad administration saying that [Communist] Chinese businesses should not be politicized by the United States. That's like saying people stranded on deserted islands shouldn't have to go without wearing a face mask.

"The U.S. should treat [Communist] Chinese companies fairly and justly and refrain from politicizing trade issues," Gao said. "All countries have the responsibility to develop their own industries and enhance the well-being of their people, and China is pleased to see the economic development and technological progress of other countries."

China is also pleased that they are slowly beginning to "eat our lunch" on international trade and it doesn't matter what Feng says, it's all political.

The Trump administration took on TikTok during its final year in office, citing the potential for the Chinese Communist Party to collect data on the Chinese app, as well as other national security issues. 

A series of orders from the Trump White House and legislation in the Senate banned the app from government devices and ultimately from being downloaded by U.S. citizens. But federal courts naively help up the orders and legislation, and they never went into effect, thus allowing the Communist Chinese government to know what we had for lunch.

Former Trump administration official Keith Krach told the Washington Free Beacon in September 2020 the app allows China to "spy" on American children and it's rumored they even saw Jeffrey Toobin tuning his instrument on video.

The Chinese Communist Party requires companies operating in China to share data when the government requests it. A document leaked in October 2020 shows an ex-CCP official dictated content policies for TikTok in its growth stage, and China has openly discussed an interest in greater party control over companies operating within the country.

Joe Biden has never once, in all his many years in politics, been right about foreign affairs. But that shouldn't surprise us since Joe is a guy who believes that Hunter Biden is the smartest person he knows.

China is like a ticking bomb . . . TikTok . . .  TikTok . . .

Confucius Institute hides its identity to avoid scrutiny

"Secrecy is the freedom tyrants dream of" --Bill Moyers

Where there used to be 103 college branches of the Confucius Institute, there are now only 51 as the US government oversight and faculty pushback has diminished the institute's influence over the malleable minds of our young. But these programs are not so easily vanishing without a strong effort on the part of the Chinese Communists as some programs just changed their names and are still being taught.

This name changing allows the Beijing-backed influence program to continue to shape the education of students from kindergartners to college students with the hope that they will one day carry on in the footsteps of Antifa and other "hate America" organizations.

According to a new report by the American Security Institute, more than 100 "Confucius classrooms" that cater to the K-12 system are now rebranded as the Asia Society Chinese Language Partner Network.

"Confucius Institutes are trying to repackage themselves—same old wine, brand new bottle," Will Coggin, managing director of the American Security Institute, told the Washington Free Beacon.

It's clear that the American education system is not easily convinced to cut ties with Chinese in our schools. 

 Hanban is the Chinese Ministry of Education-backed group that runs the Confucius Institute. It has spent over $100 million to support the institutes in U.S. universities, many who fear that funding cuts will create program cuts and money shortfalls. 

There is a similarity in the goals of the China-funded programs as there are with the Islamic-funded programs that also exist in universities, especially the prestigious ones like Harvard, for example. Their goals are to infiltrate the minds of our youth and indoctrinate them to their ways of thinking.

And if we continue to allow it, organizations like Antifa and Black Lives Matter will be child's play in comparison what the propaganda that these organizations will bring.

Chinese money isn't worth the strings attached to it. 

A bipartisan Senate report found that the Confucius Institute curtails academic freedom because the Chinese government controls "nearly every aspect" of the program in the United States. Instructors must follow Chinese laws and will not allow them to discuss anything that counters the CCP. 

Once Congress pursued legislation to rein in the Confucius Institute—including a bill that won unanimous support in the Senate—host institutions started to rebrand their China partnerships because the money was more important to them than academic freedom and morality.

Asia Society, a U.S.-based nonprofit with ties to Communist China, helped the regime establish more than 100 Confucius classrooms in elementary, middle, and high schools across the country. 

Until late 2020, the nonprofit touted its collaboration with the China-backed program on its website, according to the American Security Institute report.

Asia Society's website no longer mentions the propaganda program. It has replaced all mention of the Confucius Institute with its new name, the Chinese Language Partner Network. 

It's the same crap but now it's served as an ice cream cone.
