GOP Warning: Threat of Chinese Invasion of Taiwan at All-Time High

/0 Comments/in , /by

The threat of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan “remains unabated, if not heightened” as a result of the Biden administration’s “slow, manipulatable, and self-defeatist posture” toward the war in Ukraine, according to a group of Republican foreign policy leaders in Congress who are pressing the White House to confront Beijing.

“We are concerned that Beijing may be learning different lessons from the ongoing crisis [in Ukraine], and the risk of a People’s Liberation Army assault on Taiwan remains unabated, if not heightened,” eight Republicans, including those on the House Armed Services Committee, wrote to President Joe Biden on Tuesday, according to a copy of the missive obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. “To proactively deter China from attempting an invasion of Taiwan, we call on your administration to commit unequivocally and publicly to uphold Taiwan’s security and the intent of the United States to act in the event of Chinese military aggression against the island.”

The Biden administration has sent mixed messages on Taiwan. The president committed to defending the island’s sovereignty from a Chinese attack before having his staff reverse course on that stance. China, like Russia, watched the Biden administration fumble through Afghanistan—abandoning allies in the country and millions of dollars in military equipment—and believes American military power across the globe is waning. The bungled evacuation fostered uncertainty among allies and stoked confidence in adversaries, the lawmakers said. Now, with Russia waging a war in Ukraine, the Biden administration has flip-flopped on sanctions, slowed military aid to Ukraine, and provided critical economic lifelines to Russian president Vladimir Putin, the lawmakers said.

“The way your administration is handling the Russian invasion of Ukraine has immense repercussions on Taiwan’s security,” wrote the lawmakers, led by Rep. Jim Banks (R., Ind.), an Armed Services Committee member. “China is taking note of the slow, manipulatable, and self-defeatist posture of the United States in a scenario very similar to the one it envisions vis-à-vis Taiwan.” (Read more from “GOP Warning: Threat of Chinese Invasion of Taiwan at All-Time High” HERE)

Joke of a President: Foreign Diplomats at D.C. Summit Caught on Video Laughing at Biden

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Two Vietnamese officials were caught on video mocking U.S. President Joe Biden during the weekend summit meeting between the United States and the Association for Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Washingon, D.C.

The video reportedly became a viral sensation before it was removed from the U.S. State Department’s YouTube channel.

Radio Free Asia (RFA) described the incident on Monday:

According to a series of tweets about the incident by Southeast Asia analyst Nguyen Phuong Linh, the video shows the Vietnamese delegation laughing that U.S. President Joe Biden told Prime Minister Chinh that he could “not trust Russia.” Chinh also describes the meeting with Biden as “straightforward and fair and that Vietnam isn’t afraid of anyone,” after which the Vietnamese ambassador to the U.S., Nguyen Quoc Dzung, said they “put [Biden] into checkmate.”

Minister of Public Security To Lam is also seen praising the former deputy national security adviser during the Trump administration, Matthew Pottinger, for being young and smart and having a wife who was born in Vietnam.

Prosecutors Say Sussmann ‘Manipulated and Used’ FBI to Smear Trump, Gin up October Surprise in 2016

/0 Comments/in , /by

Prosecutors argued Tuesday, the opening day of a criminal trial testing special counsel John Durham’s Russia investigation, that a Hillary Clinton campaign attorney “used and manipulated the FBI” with anti-Trump dirt to create an October surprise before the 2016 presidential election.

Prosecutors said the lawyer, Michael Sussmann, intended to deceive FBI officials in September 2016 in a scheme to sabotage Donald Trump’s campaign.

“The evidence will show the defendant’s lie was all part of a bigger plan. It was a plan to create an October surprise on the eve of a presidential election — a plan that used and manipulated the FBI,” federal prosecutor Brittain Shaw said in her opening statement. “It was a plan that largely succeeded.”

Mr. Sussmann is charged with lying to federal agents in the first trial of Mr. Durham’s probe of the origins of the FBI’s Trump-Russia collusion investigation.

He is accused of concealing the fact that he was representing the Clinton campaign and was a technology executive when he presented a top FBI official with two white papers and two thumb drives detailing now-debunked evidence of covert communication between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa Bank.

‘Intentional Hate Crime’: Bodycam Catches Actor Demanding Police Use Chosen Pronouns During Arrest

/0 Comments/in , /by

In police body-camera footage of Miller’s arrest in Hawaii — obtained by Fox News Digital — the “Flash” star, 29, responded to one officer who called them “sir” by explaining to police, “I’m sorry, I’m not a sir. I’m transgender non-binary. Please don’t call me a sir.”

The officer relayed to Miller he “was just trying to be respectful,” to which the actor replied, “If you fail to do that again, that is an act of intentional bigotry and it is an intentional hate crime per U.S. federal law.”

“Please call me ‘they/them/theirs,’ you can use the term ‘Mx.’… if you prefer,” Miller declared to the officer.

Miller was arrested on March 28 and was charged with disorderly conduct and harassment stemming from incidents that took place at a local karaoke bar, the Hawaii Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital at the time.

Trump-Endorsed Candidate Wins Senate Primary

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican North Carolina Rep. Ted Budd won the GOP’s Senate primary Tuesday following former President Donald Trump’s endorsement.

Budd won by a landslide with 58% of the vote, earning a total of 297,990 votes. McCrory came in second with 25.1%, Walker at 9.0%. Two other Republican candidates, Marjorie Eastman and David Flaherty, came in last with 3% and 1%. The Republican candidate will compete against Democratic candidate Cheri Beasley, who won the Democratic primary with 81% of the vote.

Budd led the senatorial GOP primary race in North Carolina by over 20 percentage points, holding 43% of support while opponent and former Gov. Pat McCrory had 16% of support, according to recent Emerson College/The Hill polling. Former Rep. Mark Walker stood at about 12%, being the only other candidate in the 14-person Republican field to hold double-digit support, The Hill reported May 12.

The candidates in the race are seeking to replace three-term Republican Sen. Richard Burr ahead of his upcoming retirement.

Budd, a three-term lawmaker representing the 13th congressional district, first announced his candidacy in a late April 2021 video, which featured multiple clips of him next to Trump. He received an endorsement from Trump in June 2021 at the state Republican convention in Greenville after the former president’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, reportedly decided against entering the race.

Poll Shocker: You Won’t Believe How Many Pastors Actually Have a Biblical Worldview

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new poll shock has revealed that most Christian pastors believe what they want to believe, a “blending of ideas and applications from a variety of holistic worldviews into a unique but inconsistent combination that represents their personal preferences.”

That’s according to the new polling from the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University, directed by George Barna.

The results come from the American Worldview Inventory 2022 that contacted 1,000 Christian pastors to understand their worldviews.

“People have many expectations of pastors of Christian churches. One of those expectations is that pastors possess a philosophy of life that largely reflects biblical principles, a perspective commonly called a biblical worldview,” the report said.

“But a new nationwide survey among a representative sample of America’s Christian pastors shows that a large majority of those pastors do not possess a biblical worldview. In fact, just slightly more than a third (37%) have a biblical worldview and the majority – 62% – possess a hybrid worldview known as Syncretism.” (Read more from “Poll Shocker: You Won’t Believe How Many Pastors Actually Have a Biblical Worldview” HERE)

Disturbing Video: Pro-Abortion Gal Says It’s Fine to Kill 2-Year-Old Children!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pro-abortion radicals appeared to be reaching new extremes regularly even before a draft Supreme Court opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked to the press a few weeks ago. . .

Now there appears a pro-abortion activist who has given carte blanche to women to “abort” their children for whatever reason, whenever, apparently.

The video was captured by the pro-life organization called Live Action, and it came from a “pro-abortion woman” who confirms “it would be legal to kill a child at any point after birth.”

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Executives of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) Global Network Foundation Inc. “have nearly $42 million in assets, despite spending more than $37 million from July 2020 to June 2021,” Fox News reported on Tuesday.

The report comes from a 63-page compilation of tax documents acquired by the Associated Press, Fox reported. . .

“The documents reveal that BLM paid a company owned by Damon Turner, the father of Cullors’ child, nearly $970,000 to help ‘produce live events’ and provide other ‘creative services.’ The co-founder’s brother, Paul Cullors, received more than $840,000 for providing security services to the foundation,” the UK paper wrote. . .

“A consulting firm run by Shalomyah Bowers, who is BLM’s board secretary and has previously served as deputy executive director, was paid more than $2.1 million for providing the organization with operational support, including staffing, fundraising and other key services,” the Mail reported.

Audio Leaked of Chinese Military Meeting Discussing the Invasion of Taiwan and Defeat of Regional US Forces

/1 Comment/in , /by

A Secret recording of a Chinese military meeting planning the invasion of Taiwan and the defeat of regional U.S. forces has reportedly been uncovered.

(This information comes from a trusted source. Any new information will be provided when available.)

In the past week, in response to the instruction of the “Central Military Commission of the State Council” in Beijing on “transitioning to a war time system,” a meeting took place involving senior officers of the People Liberation Army’s Guangdong Military Region of the Southern Command and the principal officers in Guangdong Province administration and the regional Chinese Communist Party committee.

Those participating in the meeting included: Major General Zhou He, Commander of the Guangdong Military Region; Major General Huang Shan-chun, Member of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Political Commissar of the Provincial Military Region; Li Xi, Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee; Wang Wei-zhong, Deputy Secretary of Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Governor of Guangdong Province; Zhang Hu, Member of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Executive Vice Governor of the Provincial Government; and Wang Zhi-zhong, Deputy Governor of the Guangdong Provincial Government and Secretary of the Party Committee of the Provincial Public Security Department.

The audio and meeting photo were provided by Lude Media.

The meeting focused on three areas:

1. Building a military-civilian joint mobilization command and control system

2. Establishing wartime procedures

3. Preparing for wartime command and control

The main military objectives are to “smash Taiwan independence” and to ensure victory in “a decisive battle in the South China Sea.”

“It is necessary to coordinate the two directions of the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea, the two areas of maritime and land protection, the two traditional and new forces, the two kinds of resources in the province and overseas, and the focus on cohesive resources to ensure the direction of the Taiwan Strait.

Guangdong Province alone has been ordered to mobilize massive resources for an invasion of Taiwan.

1. 1,358 units of various types with a total of 140,000 personnel; 953 ships; 1,653 unmanned aircraft; 20 airport terminals; 6 shipyards; 14 emergency mobilization centers; grain and oil depots, hospital blood bank, etc.

2. 15,500 military experts of various disciplines.

3. 64 10,000-ton ro-ro ships, 38 aircraft, 588 trains, and 19 civil facilities such as airport docks.”

China intends to apply the lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic towards mobilization and control of its population to meet wartime objectives.

“Convert the experience and practice of the prevention and control of the new corona epidemic in previous years into measures for social prevention and control during wartime, to ensure that the people’s production and life are orderly, the overall social situation is stable, and to create a favorable environment and conditions for a strategic victory.”

The military-political commissar has been ordered to use Chinese assets, both domestic and international, and the political influencers that the Chinese Communist Party has cultivated in the West to support its coming war in Asia.

“Huang (Shan Chun) political commissar (major general, Guangdong Military Region): overseas mobilization, decisive victory against Taiwan. Overseas Chinese, state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, cooperation with the Belt and Road institutions, covering the army with the people, supporting the army with the people, high-end chip machinery, special materials, oil, grain and minerals and other bulk strategic materials, crack the wartime US-West alliance, and protect the military. ‘All resources in the world are for my use’, foreign aid and domestic aid.”

While the Biden regime simultaneously destroys the American economy, risks nuclear war by sending billions of dollars to protect Ukraine’s borders rather than our own, and while the U.S. military undermines its own readiness through Woke policies and useless vaccine mandates, China prepares for victory.

I bet the politically-contaminated U.S. intelligence agencies have no clue about China’s war plans because they are too busy waging their own war on patriotic, law-abiding Americans.

Shock Claim: Tester Says He ‘Pushed FDA Commissioner Months Ago’ on Baby Formula; FDA Has Known About Formula Shortage Since February

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Breitbart. On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) said that he pressed the head of the Food and Drug Administration “months ago” on the baby formula issue and stated that right now the White House is “taking appropriate steps” to fix the issue and is “taking it seriously and I think they’re moving forward in the right direction.”

Co-host John Berman asked, “What are you hearing from Montanans about baby formula?”

Tester answered, “Big concern. And we need to do everything we can do to right this ship. It’s — literally is a life and death situation in many cases.” (Read more from “Shock Claim: Tester Says He ‘Pushed FDA Commissioner Months Ago’ on Baby Formula” HERE)

Rep. Stefanik Blasts Biden Administration for Formula Shortage, Says FDA has Known About Threat Since February

By Breitbart. The Biden Administration has been aware of the threat of a national baby formula shortage for “months,” House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY) told Breitbart News – on the same day President Biden claimed only “mind readers” could have anticipated the crisis.

Asked Friday about whether his administration could have taken steps sooner to avoid the current supply crunch of baby formula, Biden replied, “If we’d been better mind-readers I guess we could have.” . . .

But Rep. Stefanik told Breitbart News in a wide-ranging interview on Friday that Biden has been “asleep at the switch,” and that the FDA has known about a pending baby formula shortage for over three months – at least since she reached out to warn them of it in February.

“They’ve known this has been an issue for months. I sounded the alarm and reached out to the FDA in February of this year, after the recall of the Sturgis, Michigan, [Abott Nutrition] manufacturing facility, and we got no substantive response from the FDA. There was absolutely no plan from this administration about how to address that supply chain issue, which has now created even more of a crisis,” Stefanik said. (Read more from “Rep. Stefanik Blasts Biden Administration for Formula Shortage, Says FDA has Known About Threat Since February” HERE)
