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.

NJ Mayor declares his city it "the capital of Palestine in the US"


The main street of Paterson, New Jersey, was renamed Palestine Way by the anti-Semitic Mayor of the town, Andre "Allahu Akbar" Sayegh. This schmuck declared the city to be the "capital of Palestine in the U.S." while at a ceremony marking the start of the Ramadan bomb-a-thon.

Sayegh also stated that the city was one of the four holiest in the world, after Jerusalem, Mecca, and Medina. [Of course, this is blasphemy because everyone knows the fourth holiest city is Philadelphia since the Eagles won the Super Bowl, at least until next year.]

The mayor referred to Paterson as “The Mecca of New Jersey,” which is an insult to all non Muslims who live there, especially the Jewish residents. He probably has plans to raze the town's synagogues and churches.

Sayegh was born in New Jerseysthan to a Syrian mother and a Lebanese father and hopes to make America a caliphate.  

Paterson's Muslim presence is evident through its many Palestinian flags, injured Jews, and signs in Arabic that may be signs of things to come.

The city enforces Islamic policies, such as closing schools on Muslim holidays, serving halal food in public schools, and broadcasting the Adhan (the Muslim call to prayer) on very loudspeakers throughout the city. 

The main street in the city was also renamed “Palestine Way,” and the city government actively promotes anti-Israel BDS legislation.

The Hilal lighting ceremony, where Sayegh made these remarks, was supported by the Palestinian American Community Center (PACC) and the Islamic Center of Passaic County (ICPC), two organizations that have faced criticism for anti-Israel rhetoric.

Last spring, a poll showed that half of American Muslims supported Hamas’s murders, tortures, kidnappings, mutilations, immolations and beheadings on October 7, 2023. 

The survey, conducted by the Pew Research Center among 12,693 respondents, found that 49% of American Muslims believe Hamas’s reasons for fighting against the Jewish state are valid, such as the fact that in spite of historical proof that the Jewish people inhabited Israel long before Mohammad was bumping sandals with young girls, somehow they have the right to the land. As they grow in number in the UK, they are also acting as if they have the right to the land there as well, and France, we cannot forget France.

In contrast, just 18% of American Muslims believe Israel is justified in its fight against Hamas, because science tells us that only 18% of Muslims don't follow their so called 'holy' book, the koran.

Twenty-one percent of American Muslims said the October 7th invasion of Israel and massacre of Jews were acceptable, compared to 5% or less among all other religious groups surveyed.

Sick. Just freaking sick.

Americans, as a whole, were far more likely to say Israel’s reasons for fighting were legitimate, compared to Hamas, with 58% of all respondents saying the Jewish state’s war on Hamas is valid, compared to 15% who disagreed.

If you would like to support my work, you can Buy Me A Coffee or subscribe. Thank you.

Anyone who knows what happen on Oct. 7 and still believe that it's justified to kill babies, rape women, slaughter children in front of their parents and vice-versa, has absolutely no decency and a dirty heart.

Nevertheless, Am Yisrael Chai.

Harris tells African church conference "we are not going back"


Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, expressed her gratitude to the leaders of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church for their support this week. She assured them of her commitment to advancing the country on their behalf. However, it appears that the church's leaders do not share the same enthusiasm when it comes to the topic of gay marriage.

AME church leaders at the 52nd quadrennial conference voted to strike down a bill that would have ended the AME church's ban on same-sex marriage. This may have to do with the Bible and some of its versus:
1. Leviticus 18:22 (Old Testament)**: "Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable."

2. Romans 1:26-27 (New Testament)**: "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."

3. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (New Testament)**: "Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
In an address to conference attendees, Harris blasted Republicans for trying 'to pull the country backward.'

"We face a choice between two very different visions for the future of our nation. One, ours, that is focused on the future. The other focused on the past," Harris managed to say through her nostrils. "But we are not going back."

Gay marriage was legalized by the federal government in 2015 and the Republicans, contrary to what Harris claims, has no intention of repealing it.


The AME Church is mostly made up of Black members and is based in the United States. It started due to racial tensions between Black and White members in the Methodist church during the late 1700s and early 1800s. Today, according to the research group Pew Research Center, 92% of the church members identify as Democrats.

AME church leaders had made the mistake of helping Joseph Biden get elected as President, and now we see how wrong they were as he had insidiously entered into a vegetative state and now sleeps on a beach in Delaware.


Although the church boasts a vast network of Democratic congregants, its position on same-sex marriage remains out of step with the official anti-Christian values of the Democratic Party.

Perhaps members of the AME church will wake up to the facts and the Marxist values Harris supports.

Poll: Most Americans affirm Israel's war motives against Hamas: less experienced Americans, not so much


A Pew Research Center found that most Americans, 58%, stand behind Israel's reason for fighting the terrorist group Hamas after they attacked the Jewish State on October 7, 2023, killing over 1,200, kidnapped 253 people, and performed barbarous acts on Israelis. 

But 34% of respondents say that Israel's conduct in preventing Hamas from killing them all is unacceptable, while 38% support Israel's response to Hamas' efforts to kill them all. The remaining 26% never heard of Israel or Hamas and live with their parents.

The survey found that 22% of respondents say the Hamasshole's reasons for killing Jews are valid, and 5% say Hamas' October 7 attack was acceptable because they see no problem with rape, mutilation, torture beheading and burning women, children, babies, and men because the victims were, you know, Jews.

Respondents under 30 years old are significantly more critical of how Israel defending itself because they cannot comprehend anything that contradicts what their woke teachers have told them.

Forty-six percent of older Americans described what Hamas did as unacceptable, including 32% finding it completely unacceptable.

More results show that 31% of respondents sympathize fully, or mostly with Israelis, while 16% sympathize entirely or mostly with the anti0-Semitic Palestinians, and 26% say they sympathize with both sides equally because their moral compass is broken, while 18% don't know how to boil water.

Eight percent of Americans have a favorable view of the terrorists, compared to 84% who do not like Hamassholes, and 23% of low information Americans have a favorable view of the Palestinian Authority.

Half of Americans favor sending humanitarian aid to Gaza, unlike what the US did not do for Japan after we bombed Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

Thirty-six percent favor the US sending military aid to Israel while 34% would like to see Israel lose the war.

Finally, Sen. Chuck Schumer would like Israel to hold elections to get Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu out of office, but Israel isn't influenced by anyone telling them how to run their own country.

Republican Jews call Trump's criticism of Israel and its leaders "inflammatory"


Most American Jews tend to vote for Democrats and have obvious disdain for former President Trump. The Republican Jews tended to support Trump due to his support of Israel and even putting the US Embassy in Jerusalem, which recognizes the Holy City to be the capital of Israel.

However, since the slaughter of over 1,300 Jews by Hamas that began last Saturday, October 7th, Trump denigrated Israel's leaders and called the Hamassholes "smart" in a speech on Wednesday. 

Speaking to a few thousand supporters in Palm Beach, Florida, the former President questioned Israel’s readiness to fight. “Say what you want, Israel was not ready,” he said. “This was a big surprise. This was a terrible thing that happened. They weren’t ready.”

Jewish Republicans didn't let it slide and some called him out on it.

“Criticizing someone that’s fighting for their life is pretty naive and not the least bit productive,” Fred Zeidman, a Republican Jewish Committee board member said. He voted for Trump’s reelection in 2020 and one has to wonder who he will vote for next year if Trump is on the ticket.

Zeidman, who supports former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in the 2024 GOP presidential primary, credited Trump for his Israel policies while in office. “What he did for Israel far surpassed anybody else,” he said. But on Wednesday, Trump was not speaking as a president or a former president,” Zeidman continued. “He’s speaking as a candidate again and he’s giving all of us a clear reason not to support him.”

The reason Zeidman and others have problems with Trump is due to how he described Hamas and Hezbollah as “smart” and called Israel’s defense minister, Yoav Gallant, a “jerk” for warning Hezbollah in Lebanon about striking Israel. “Whoever heard of an official saying on television that they hope the enemy doesn’t attack in a certain area?” Trump said, having no military experience and having avoided the Vietnam War draft. 

Sheya Landa, a GOP activist from New York and a [possibly former] Trump supporter, said that Trump should apologize for remarks that “only cause more frustration.”

“‘When so many lives are lost, it’s beyond ridiculous to make such comments,” said Landa, who currently serves as a staffer for Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. He added, however, that he agrees with the Trump that the only solution is to totally destroy Hamas and that Netanyahu must show full force in the Gaza offensive. 

Trump has a strong lead in the GOP primary. In his 2-hour speech, he blasted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that he declined to assist the U.S. in the January 2020 drone strike that killed Qasem Suleimani, the leader of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. “I’ll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down,” he said. “That was a very terrible thing.”

Was it really a terrible thing? 

What would have happened to Israel had they helped in killing Suleimani? It might have unleashed a Middle East war while we are safe in our beds.

Anyway, a report in Rolling Stone Wednesday, said that Trump has told allies and donors in recent days that Netanyahu should be “impeached” by the Israeli parliament, and “has also asked multiple longtime advisers if he should now publicly call for Netanyahu to step down as prime minister immediately.”

I know many readers of this blog like Trump, this is uncalled for and personal on his part. Since losing to Biden in 2020, Trump has complained about Netanyahu for disagreeing about the results of the election. However, Wednesday's speech was the first time Trump publicly criticized Israeli leaders for their national security decisions. And it's likely Trump is upset that Bibi praised Biden for his speech in total support of Israel. 

Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) scolded Trump and Lisa Spies, his campaign's Jewish outreach director, said,  “No responsible leader should ever praise Hezbollah terrorists as smart without adding context regarding their evil nature.” Spies, a Republican fundraiser who also served as the Jewish outreach director for Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush’s presidential campaigns added that “anyone who wants to have a conversation about that is nothing short of delusional.” 


She added that her criticism of Trump’s remarks has nothing to do with politics. “You just don’t say anything like that,” she said. “Hezbollah is not ‘smart.’ That sounds like the anti-Israel Democrat Squad, not a Republican.”

Of course she's correct.

Trump’s comments were noted in Israel, even while they are bogged down fighting the terrorists who Trump said are "smart." He had been very favorable in Israel in the past, according to a 2019 Pew Research Center poll. Fully 71% of Israelis trusted his leadership and 55% approved of his policies.

Not so much this week.

Israeli cabinet minister, Shlomo Karhi called out Trump for abetting “propaganda” that would “wound the spirit of Israel’s fighters and its citizens.”

“We don’t have to bother with him and the nonsense he spouts,” said Karhi, a member of the ruling Likud Party and the minister of communications.

The White House called Trump’s remarks “dangerous and unhinged,” and I hate to say it . . . so I won't.

So here's where the war against Hamas and Hezbollah stands today:
*The Hamas commander who led the attack against kibbutzim has been killed.
*Right wing leader Avigdor Lieberman has joined the emergency government of Israel.
*3,621 Israelis have been wounded to date; 368 still hospitalized; 102 in serious condition.
*Lebanon launched a mortar barrage in northern Israel--no injuries reported.
*Sirens have gone off as this is being written in Ashkelon, Israel.
And the war goes on as Israel has warned Gazans to leave northern Gaza and head south as Hamas warns them to stay.

So who are the barbarians and who are the good guys in this war? If you are not sure, you have some serious soul-searching to do while you check your anti-Semitism.

Finally, it goes without saying that if Trump gets the GOP nomination, he would be better than Biden or anyone the Democrats nominate, should Joe get lost on his way to vacation.

NBC reporter "mishears" crowd chant "F*** Joe Biden" as "Let's Go Brandon"



On Saturday, Brandon Brown scored his first career NASCAR Xfinity Series victory at Talladega Superspeedway and the crowd went wild chanting "F**k Joe Biden!" 

But NBC Sports broadcasted the event so Kelli Stavast, the "reporter" for the network, had to lie to the public about what we all clearly heard. She claimed the crowd was chanting "Let's go Brandon!" A clever try, but nobody with normal hearing believed her.

“As you can hear the chants from the crowd,” Stavast said to Brown, according to a Twitter post after the race. “Let’s go Brandon.”

This was Brown's 114th career series start, so the win was big for him and the chant was loud for Biden to have sexual congress with himself.

NBC Sports wrote of Brown’s win:

Brandon Brown earned his first career NASCAR Xfinity Series win when Saturday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway was called for darkness six laps from the scheduled distance.

“Oh my God! Oh my God!” Brown said on his team’s radio. “Wow! Just wow! Oh my God! This is a dream come true! This is a dream come true!”

Brown told NBCSN, “Oh my God, Dad, we did it!! Everything we hoped and dreamed for. Everything I wanted to do is take the trophy home to Mom and Dad.”

The Nothing But Crap network is famous for pushing their coverage far to the left. In August, "Special Report" was covering Biden's news conference [he plays the President on TV] and they cut away from the conference the second he began taking questions from the press. 

Better safe than journalisming.

Biden concluded his prepared statement at the conference saying, “And I’ll keep you informed every day as we move forward. May God protect our troops and our diplomats who are serving in harm’s way. I’ll take a few questions. Darlene, from the Associated Press.”

Darlene Superville, White House reporter with a Marvel heroin name who works for The Associated Press, asked, “Mr. President: we’re nine days away from the August 31 deadline. Will you extend that deadline, or what is your thought process on extending the evacuation operation?”

NBC News’ Kate Snow[job] nodded and then cut in, “All right. We’ve been listening to President Biden with dual challenges on a Sunday talking about Tropical Storm Henri, all the preparations being made, also talking about Afghanistan. Let’s get right to Monica Alba, who’s at the White House.”

In late April, the Pew Research Center compared the media's handling of Biden’s first days as president to the way they covered former President Trump over the same period. They wrote:

When it comes to the tone of coverage, both new administrations received more negative assessments than positive assessments of their activities. But while the percentage of Biden stories with an overall negative assessment (32%) modestly outnumbered the share with positive assessments (23%), stories with negative assessments of Trump outnumbered those with positive assessments by four-to-one (44% to 11%).

Anyone who honestly believes the media is not biased to the left needs to take a cognitive test along with Joe Biden.

More Illegals than unemployed Americans

According to The Washington Free Beacon, illegal aliens (I refuse to call them immigrants) now outnumber American unemployed workers. The numbers are: 11.3 million illegal aliens in 2014 vs. 9.6 million unemployed Americans in the same year. The data comes from Pew Research Center and Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Of the criminals from other countries who came here, along with visa-holding workers, and those with expired visas who are now engaged in criminal activity (being an illegal alien, that is) 8.1 million are in the American work force  and account for 5.1% of the total labor force and soon-to-be Democrats. 

That puts a lot of actual American citizens on the unemployment line.

"Unauthorized immigrants [read: illegal aliens] make up 5.1% of the U.S. labor force. In the U.S. labor force there were 8.1 million unauthorized [illegal aliens] immigrants either working or looking for work in 2012," Pew says.

Pew goes on to say: "Last year, President Obama took executive action to expand an existing program and establish a new one that would offer work permits and deportation relief to an estimated 5 million unauthorized immigrants. The actions--which are on hold because of a lawsuit by 26 states--would be open to unauthorized immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children, who are parents with a child who is a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident as long as they meet certain requirements."

Yes, certain requirements require they vote Democrat. That is the rhyme and reason for Obama's "generosity" in the first place. You can bet if immigrants tended to vote for the GOP, this would not be a story.
