Is China Attacking Us From Within….

Gordon Change – The Daily Caller, July 13, 2023

It is way past time to end the ability of the Chinese regime to conduct political warfare against the United States from American soil. America’s defense begins with closing down the America Chang Le Association.

On April 17, the U.S. Department of Justice announced the arrests that day of two individuals for “conspiring to act as agents” of the People’s Republic of China and obstructing justice. The pair — “Harry” Lu Jianwang and Chen Jinping — had “worked together to establish the first overseas police station in the United States” for the Fuzhou branch of China’s Ministry of Public Security. 

The branch was a “clandestine police station” operated under the cover of the America Chang Le Association in Manhattan’s Chinatown. The facility that closed last fall, after an FBI raid, had been operated by the United Front Work Department of the Communist Party of China.

China’s actions were outrageous — but Americans should be asking why did the Chinese regime think it could, without permission, establish a police station on American soil?

The answer is: American presidents for decades have known that China’s diplomats and agents were violating American sovereignty and did either nothing or virtually nothing to stop these activities. Therefore, China’s Communists naturally thought they could get away with even more blatant conduct.

USMC MEU’S UNABLE TO DEPLOY

WFM – July 13, 2023

An opinion article in Military Times, Friday July 7, 2023 authored By Gen James Conway (USMC – Ret) 34th Commandant of the Marine Corps. and Gen Anthony Zinni (USMC Ret) former Commander in Chief of the United States Central Command posed that following question:

How capable is today’s Marine Corps to answer a 9-1-1 call, their answer, not very.

The American people and a growing ­number of elected representatives are beginning to suspect something some ­Marine Corps leaders have been unwilling to admit: United States Marines are no longer capable of responding to global crises and contingencies quickly and ­effectively, and in some cases, at all.

During February 2022, the ­Marine Corps was unable to meet a U.S. ­European Command request to surge a Marine ­expeditionary unit — a force of about 2,200 specially trained Marines and sailors embarked on amphibious ships — to the Mediterranean in response to ­Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Lt. Gen. Karsten Heckl, the deputy commandant for Combat Development and Integration, told the Senate Armed Services seapower subcommittee. A month would pass before a Marine expeditionary unit could sail from North Carolina….

The Erosian Of Our Military Readiness

By WFM – July 13, 2023

Divisive leftist social policies are systematically destroying the cohesion of our armed forces by policies garunteed to destroy unit cohesion, the back bone of military readiness.

Pronouns, gender fluidity and any other number of leftist ideals are anathema to an effective fighting force.

A cohesive unit is made up of members who communicate effectively, overcome conflict, and work together willingly. Shared commitment. In a cohesive group, members are both committed to one another and collectively committed to a task, mission, or cause.

Unfortunately, under this bumbling leftist administration, these distractions coupled with lower physical qualifications and a leftist inspired miltary leadership, are a prognostication for failure.

In closing, this is not the military that I served in which, if these leftist ideals were indeed in effect, would not have sustained itself over the long term. It’s time to throw out the current miltary leadership in charge of the DOD and JCS and those politicians that are standing idely, complicit in the incremental destruction of our military.

CHRIS CHRISTIE’S UNABATED HUNGER

By WFM – July 12, 2023 – REPOST Dec 7, 2023

Chris Christie’s continuing attacks on former President Donald Trump might be a result of jealousy or just maybe low blood sugar from stepping away from the table while engaged on a weight loss program to get in shape for the upcoming debates.

Let us suppose another reason for Christie wanting the presidential crown may be something as simple as, if elected, he would go after Bill Gates and other ‘fake’ food producers trying to pawn off ‘fake beef’ instead of real beef a staple of every cholesteral addicts diet, myself included.

In a recent Fox News interview Christie stated his real motive for targeting Trump (perhaps an unintended Fruedian slip) “”We paid for every nickel of it,” he added. “When you look at the ways that he failed us, not even talking about his personal conduct – as a president, how he failed us. He abandoned me.”

Christie also took issue with Trump’s calling out his weight or rather insinuating that Christie should just, step away from the table. Christies’ response, ‘Trumps a child….a bully on the school-yard who teases you and makes fun of you.” (I would proffer he’s speaking from experience – just an errant thought on my part.)

The take-away, in my opinion, Chrisite, comes accross as a maligned child hurting from being called out, in so many words, a fat boy. I would guess we’d better keep a box of tissues close by because this is only going to get worse – again just my opinion.

China’s Field Day With Counterfeiting

China’s latest export, after fentanyl…. is counterfeit postage stamps

Opinion by Chuck Devore – Fox News

‘There’s been an alarming rise in Made in China counterfeit postage stamps here in America’

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has been struggling for years, saddled with an outmoded business model and huge retiree pension liabilities. And now, added to its inflationary and management woes comes a new threat: counterfeit stamps from China marketed online through paid ads on Google and Facebook, among other platforms.

Counterfeiting currency, bonds, or other government paper of value is a form of warfare. The British printed Continental paper dollars to undermine the American economy during the Revolutionary War. The Union encouraged counterfeiting against the Confederacy during the Civil War. And North Korea has been known for passing fake $100 Federal Reserve notes (Supernotes).

To that record of profitable fakery we can add a new entry: Made in China USPS Forever stamps, sold for as little as 7.7 cents each—88% off the official price of $0.63 each. And, better yet, one printer even boasts of featuring anti-counterfeiting detection ink that looks like official postage under ultra-violet light….

The FBI Needs A Complete Overhaul

By Samuel Mangold Lenett – The Federalist

The FBI is broken. No serious person who isn’t operating in bad faith would contest this fact. But it also, at least historically, serves an important purpose: solving high-level national crimes that local and state agencies lack the resources or personnel to solve. 

That said, following the release of the Durham report and the publication of the “Twitter Files,” it is undeniable that left-wing partisan actors have thoroughly weaponized the nation’s largest intelligence agency against their ideological adversaries. The FBI must not be allowed to continue abusing the public, and in the event that holistically eliminating the institution is not an option, it must be majorly reformed to end its reign of terror.

A soon-to-be-published report written by the former Acting Secretary of Transportation Steven Bradbury for the Heritage Foundation titled “How to Fix the FBI” addresses this head-on.

Exploring various steps Congress could take to rein in this part of America’s rogue intelligence apparatus, Bradbury’s report details specific reforms that could mitigate the federal bureaucracy’s rabid partisan bias through nothing short of a complete structural overhaul of the agency. 

Emphasizing how the FBI squandered Americans’ goodwill through systemic abuse, the report states: 

Once America’s premier domestic law enforcement agency, dedicated to protecting the American way of life from organized crime and terrorist conspiracies, the FBI has now become an adversary of freedom in the eyes of many Americans, misappropriated for partisan political purposes, abusing its national security powers for the suppression of free expression and religious dissent and for the harassment of law-abiding citizens.

“The Bureau has expanded the scope and use of its own intelligence-gathering powers in dangerous ways, directing them increasingly at political movements that threaten the Washington establishment and at the exercise of constitutionally protected rights by ordinary Americans,” Bradbury writes.

In recent years, the FBI and the agency it’s housed within, the Department of Justice, notably disenfranchised concerned parents by branding them as terrorists for opposing public school boards’ ideological misconduct, flagged online Covid-19 skepticism, and burned piles of cash investigating and tracking down Jan. 6 protesters instead of prioritizing actual security and safety risks like the flourishing human trafficking and synthetic fentanyl industries.

And referring to the ongoing debate over whether to recertify Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), Bradbury raises the point that the FBI abused this process to gather intelligence on Americans who were obviously not engaged in foreign espionage. 

He writes, “FBI has improperly queried the database more than 278,000 times, including to gather information about U.S. persons who were crime victims, suspected January 6 rioters, people arrested at Black Lives Matter protests, and even 19,000 donors to a congressional candidate.”

Israel Calls Out UN

WFM – My opinion….The UN has never been hesitant to accuse Israel’s fight against West Bank terrorists as a criminal action. In contrast the UN seemingly ignores continueing terrorist attacks on Israel by Arabs as justified.

Israel’s ambassador calls out UN chief over anti-Israel comments following recent anti-terror raid in Jenin

By Benjamin Weinthal – Fox News

JERUSALEM—In a statement after the United Nations condemned Israel’s operation to degrade Palestinian terrorism infrastructure in the West Bank city of Jenin, the Jewish state’s ambassador to the U.N. on Thursday issued a stinging rebuke of United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres while welcoming a pro-Israel Executive Order (EO) from Republican New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu. 

Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan said “The Secretary-General’s remarks were shameful, farfetched, and completely detached from reality. The recent IDF activity in Jenin focused solely on combating the murderous Palestinian terror targeting innocent Israeli civilians. Additionally, it’s hard to fathom how the U.N. Secretary-General, time and again, ‘forgets’ to mention that the murderous terrorists are Palestinian terrorists.”

Booger Sugar Found In The White House

WFM – JULY 5, 2023

One might wonder if the President’s son, Hunter Biden, an accomplished drug addict, ever kicked his drug habit. The recent discovery of cocaine in the ‘West Wing,’ family living quarters shouldn’t be a surprise for those in the ‘know.’

Having previously served in law enforcemnt for a number of years, based on my experience, Hunter is still under the ‘influence’ of drugs. It was reported that the ‘coke’ was found after his last visit, previous to yesterday’s 4th of July visit to the White House – all bets are off, in my opinion, that Ole’ Joe’s ‘wunderkin’ is still under the influence.

Following reports of the find by the Secret Service, a number of media outlets jumped on the band wagon salivating over the prospect of a ‘juicy’ scandal the like of which not seen since Bill Clintin’s cigar caper, under his Oval Office desk….stand by for more to come.

‘Biden’s China First Policies’

WFM July 1, 202

Former President Trump, during a campaign rally in South Carolina last week, described Joe Biden as a “corrupt and comprimised president.” We might proffer in light of facts now being exposed, it is no longer speculative that Joe Biden has been engaged in illegal activity, to wit, taking money from foreign enemies like China and others believed, though not yet named, for he and his familys personal benefit. The Biden family’s alleged activities would seem qualified to be indictctable under the RICO ACT statues.

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) of 1970 seeks to strengthen the legal tools in evidence gathering by establishing new penal prohibitions and providing enhanced sanctions and new remedies for dealing with the unlawful activities of those engaged in organized crime. [1]

Looking further Biden’s activities, which some have said, might well constitute as treasonous given his policies that seems to benefit China, a foreign enemy actively working to undermine our global influence and national security.

In October of 2022 an article refernced on The Council on Foreign relations website stated ‘ China appears to be increasingly interfering in U.S. elections through intensive lobbying, control of foreign media outlets, and sophisticated disinformation campaigns.’ [2]

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. Article III, Section 3, Clause 1: [3]

It would seem that Joe biden’s policies and personal greed have brought our republic to a point that if he, or whoever his masters put in place, continue Biden’s disasterous political agenda, we will end up in a civil war that might well destroy our republic……As always, just my opinion- WFM

Time For House GOP To Drop Everything And Target Merrick Garland

The Federalist:  JUNE 09, 2023

The empty brain pans on the left will use any excuse to charge Donald Trump with whatever false allegations their elitist masters tell them to. Let’s face it, much like the ‘Russian Collusion hoax’ this current circus will not end until either Merrick Garland or Donald Trump end up in prison.

To quote the late comedian Richard Pryor who once said, “the only justice is ‘just us.’ Considering the current state of ‘justice’ or rather ‘injustice, perpertrated under Merrick Garland’s corrupt reign as Attorney General, Priors statement has proven prophetic, my opimion of course….

All the things that Americans are coping with thanks to Joe Biden’s complete horror of a presidency are important, but if House Republicans don’t drop all of it right now to aggressively target the attorney general, then none of it matters and they should all jump off a cliff.

Seriously. Merrick Garland, Biden’s head of the nation’s premier law enforcement agency, just chose to seek prison time for a former president, the man right now most likely to face off with the current president in 2024.

The magnitude of the situation isn’t dependent on a conviction or acquittal. It rests on whether the indictment is legitimized at all. And by doing nothing, House Republicans will have sent the message that there’s nothing to do but watch — watch as your democracy crumbles to ashes and blows away with their absolute indifference.

In that scenario, nothing separates us from Cuba. Or in terms that Democrats can understand, nothing separates us from RUSSIA, YOU PUTIN SOCK SNIFFERS!

If House Republicans play this game of “let’s see what the facts say” and “there will be blowback if we overreach,” then it’s over. When Democrats were in power, they impeached a sitting president twice, sued to secure his personal tax returns, and brought in a slew of witnesses to embarrass him in televised hearings without batting an eye. The bare minimum Republicans can do now is impeach Merrick Garland for attempting to throw a leading presidential candidate in jail over a records-keeping issue.

Yeah, historical government records are important and if Trump had things in his possession that weren’t his, the government was in its right to retrieve them. There’s a legal and lawyerly process for that. But initial news reports indicate that the Justice Department is throwing the book at him over classified documents Trump retained, something his vice president, former President Obama, and Joe Biden himself have done.

There are apparently also charges related to obstruction and conspiracy. Those are charges that Hillary Clinton never faced, even though her set-up of a private email server to conduct government business, which she wiped clean after leaving office as secretary of state, was by definition obstruction and conspiracy. The sitting director of the FBI said at the time that Clinton was “extremely careless” in handling government secrets. No indictment.

By every measure, Merrick Garland has corrupted his office in the persecution of a prominent political opponent who is actively campaigning to unseat Garland’s boss. Garland’s entire tenure has reeked of retribution for having been denied a Supreme Court seat in 2016. He has claimed that white supremacy is the foremost domestic threat to America, by which he means “Trump supporters.” He has directed his department to harass concerned parents who show up at school board meetings. And while he chases down pro-life activists exercising their First Amendment rights, he does nothing to actual domestic terrorists waging a violent war against pro-life pregnancy clinics.

Nobody needs to see House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Fox News confessing what a scandal it is, or how outraged Americans should be. The Oversight Committee should be dragging in Justice Department officials for hearings, investigating Justice Department communications with the White House, and immediately drafting articles of impeachment for Merrick Garland.

Nothing is more important.
