Cold War!-----Cut Off the Blood Supply to China's Communist Party: End Trade :: Gatestone Institute

Cut Off the Blood Supply to China's Communist Party: End Trade :: Gatestone Institute

• The real problem for Beijing is that consumption, the only sustainable part of the Chinese economy, looks far softer than officially reported, something evident from the widely followed China Beige Book survey. Spending will not fully recover until the coronavirus pandemic passes, and that is unlikely to happen soon due to China's barely effective vaccines...

• In any event, Washington must begin enforcing laws, especially those banning the importation of products made with forced or slave labor.

• The larger goal has to be an ending of trade relations with China. "Because the threat posed by China to the United States results from its hostile system and includes economic, technological, and military dimensions, only systemic, not piecemeal, responses can possibly protect critical U.S. interests," Washington, D.C.-based trade expert Alan Tonelson tells Gatestone. "Sanctions against individuals or companies will inevitably produce only pinprick effects, and even these are easily nullified with shell game corporate renamings and personnel changes."

Selling the White House!-----Hunter Biden Fails Up Into a Cushy Art Career | The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

Hunter Biden Fails Up Into a Cushy Art Career | The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

• The newly minted creative plans to sell his paintings for eyebrow-raising amounts. 

"Two years after ending his stint as a Ukrainian natural gas expert, Hunter Biden has a new calling: high-rolling artist. 

Hunter’s first round of art sales, scheduled for this fall, will feature eye-popping prices ranging from $75,000 to $500,000 per piece, according to media reports.

If those sound like exorbitant prices, that’s because they are. 

For comparison, many of Salvador Dalí’s originals have sold for less. 

...So why would anyone pay six figures for his paintings?

We know why. 

Or, at the very least, we can narrow the answer down to two possibilities. 

The more generous interpretation is that Hunter is, once again, coasting off of his father’s name brand. The other possibility is that his art will serve as a convenient way for foreign interest groups to buy influence with the White House...Read all.

America, If You Want to Know What’s Coming Next, Look to Canada and Be Forewarned

America, If You Want to Know What’s Coming Next, Look to Canada and Be Forewarned

"In some respects, Canada has been a step ahead of America in terms of moral and cultural decline. That means that what happens in Canada today – and I mean what happens in the most negative sense – could well be coming to America tomorrow.

...Yet, when it comes to government overreach or attacks on fundamental liberties or hostility towards the Church, Canada’s descent has been more frightening.

We do well to pay attention to what is taking place to our north.

• For example, Canada legalized same-sex “marriage” in 2005, a decade before the Supreme Court’s Obergefell decision, without which the states would have been battling over the issue for years to come. Not surprisingly, Canada was also well ahead of America in terms of prosecuting Christians who opposed gay activism and propaganda...Read all.

San Francisco's Leaders Out of Touch as City Descends Into Lawlessness

San Francisco's Leaders Out of Touch as City Descends Into Lawlessness

"If you don’t like the explosion of violent crime, you’re a racist.

That’s the message sent by a top aide to the San Francisco district attorney to a self-described “Democrat” who had said on Twitter that the jump in crime had made people afraid for their lives and dubious about the city’s future.

...Kate Chatfield, a senior director for San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, responded from a now-locked Twitter account: “‘Husbands are scared for their wives’—your reminder that the ‘crime surge’ crowd shares the same ideology as The Birth of a Nation.”...Read all.

Here's a Privilege Walk Being Forced on High School Students - Louder With Crowder

Here's a Privilege Walk Being Forced on High School Students - Louder With Crowder: 

'Privilege' is a popular buzzword amongst woke leftist sh*tc*nts. That goes double for the privilege that comes in vanilla. Everything 'privilege' is bad. 'Privilege' is anything in your life leftists can use to politicize and exploit for their Marxist agenda. They even came up with a game to play called 'privilege walks.' It's like if the Hokey Pokey met Mother May I met the gender studies department at Evergreen College. People are lined up against their will and told to take a step forward or backward depending on how their 'privilege' is defined. Rep. Dan Crenshaw exposed it happening on a military base. Here's a clip of it at a high school somewhere in America. The trees look kinda Calforniaish.

UMass economist blames ‘privatized housing’ for Florida condo collapse

UMass economist blames ‘privatized housing’ for Florida condo collapse

"A professor emeritus of economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has blamed “privatized housing” for the recent collapse of a Florida condo building, further charging that it “violates democracy.”

...“Miami’s collapsed condo shows: privatized housing violates democracy. Only condo owners voted to defer building repair. Delivery workers, condo visitors, repairers knew nothing, didn’t vote, risked
injury, death. As irreducibly social, housing must be run democratically by all,” Wolff wrote...Read all!

Dems are losing the multiracial working class on basic lifestyle issues

Dems are losing the multiracial working class on basic lifestyle issues
"The Democrats have a problem: They have run away from their core voters. And they are beginning to notice and worry.
...Just look at the issues the Democrats are pushing:

• defunding the police, which hurts mostly poor and working-class neighborhoods; 
• critical race theory, which mostly interests woke white activists (and rich-and-guilty Dem donors) but which actually sends a message of inferiority to minority youths; 
• gender ideology, which plays less well among the more traditional and more religious working-class minorities; 
• environmental policies that produce higher gas prices and lower employment, while pushing food prices up; 
• open borders that drive down wages for downscale workers; and so on.

Donors and activists love this stuff. 

They live in neighborhoods that are mostly insulated from urban crime and disorder...Read all.

FLASHBACK: When the Media Blew Off Joe Biden's Cancel-Worthy Racist Comments About Black Students

FLASHBACK: When the Media Blew Off Joe Biden's Cancel-Worthy Racist Comments About Black Students

"Joe Biden’s history of making racist comments is known to anyone who consumes alternative media sources, but another one from years past is making the rounds on social media today—and boy is it a doozy.

From The Washington Post, October 24, 2007.

“There’s less than one percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than four of five percent that are minorities. What is in Washington? So look, it goes back to what you start off with, what you’re dealing with,” said Biden.

Yeah, right.

Perhaps the most amusing thing about this is the way the Washington Post excused the blatantly racist remark as a “stumble” rather than calling it out for what it really was: racism.

Imagine if Trump had ever said such a thing. Would the Washington Post dismiss it as a “stumble”?  Not a chance...Read all.

WaPo nails Biden White House, Psaki with 3 Pinocchios for their claims that GOP is defunding police - TheBlaze

WaPo nails Biden White House, Psaki with 3 Pinocchios for their claims that GOP is defunding police - TheBlaze: 

However, the Post fact-check explained, "Although Republicans all opposed Biden's coronavirus relief package, no one voted to cut, or defund, anything. Rather, Democrats proposed $350 billion in emergency funds for state and local governments, and Republicans voted against those extra funds. That's not a reduction."

The Social Credit Security State - The American Mind

The Social Credit Security State - The American Mind
"Our woke ruling class intends to use both private and public enterprise to police and punish hearts and minds.
President Ronald Reagan famously said, “the nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.’” 

But as I’ve argued, many modern conservatives are now more concerned about Angelo Codevilla’s harrowing description of our new American oligarchy as an amalgam of “public” and “private” enterprise. We must conclude that the new “most terrifying words” are, “I’m from the ruling class, and I’m here to subjugate you.”
