Biden’s ‘Budget’ Is Purely U.S. Financial Destruction

/0 Comments/in , /by

When you think of a household budget, you probably consider how much money you can spend based on your available income during a certain period of time. President Biden’s 2024 “budget” is less an exercise in matching income with expenditures and more an exercise of seeing how big he can grow the government until the entire house of cards comes crashing down.

This would be dangerous at any point in time. It is more so given the current financial backdrop.

Not only are we already contending with $31 trillion in national debt, with rising interest rates, but the proposal flies in the face of every measure the Federal Reserve is currently taking to try to return the economy to some semblance of normalcy.

The Federal Reserve is desperate to slow demand in its meek effort to control inflation. What would help the Fed out would be the government slowing its spending. Not only would this directly help cool the economy, but some austerity on the government’s part would signal to consumers that they might want to pull back on their spending as well.

Instead, the Biden administration wants Congress to keep on spending like drunken sailors (no disrespect meant to drunken sailors). Biden is effectively telling Jerome Powell and the rest of the Fed, “Too bad, suckers,” offering no help or austerity, but rather pushing a larger government.

Daunting Warning About China’s Military as Washington Prepares for the Worst

/0 Comments/in , /by

Concerns over a Chinese invasion of Taiwan continue to mount with Beijing now suspected of involvement in damaging some of the island nation’s undersea internet cables this week in another show of deliberate harassment.

The disruption to Taiwan’s internet was not only a nuisance for the island’s inhabitants and visitors, it also revealed significant implications for Taiwan’s national security.

There is no definitive evidence that China purposefully cut the internet lines, but the incident brought renewed attention to what an attack on Taiwan might look like and whether the U.S. would be able to adequately stop it.

U.S. war games involving a Chinese takeover of Taiwan generally involve a large-scale amphibious attack that would attempt to quickly and efficiently take the island and its international allies by surprise.

President Biden has said he will send troops to counter a Chinese land invasion, which would likely prompt responses from other regional U.S. allies and could make this form of assault costly and deadly for all parties involved.

FBI Director: Communist China Can Take Control of ‘Millions’ of Americans’ Phones With TikTok

/0 Comments/in , /by

FBI Director Chris Wray stunned U.S. senators during a Wednesday hearing when he revealed that the Chinese Communist Party has the ability to take control of “millions” of Americans’ phones through the wildly popular TikTok app.

“If you look at the Chinese government’s gobbling up of information and data, and then the use of AI and other tools, ultimately supercomputing, things like that, to marshal all that data to conduct targeting for espionage, targeting for IP theft, targeting for the all the things that I and others on this panel have been calling out about the Chinese government,” Wray told the Senate Intelligence Committee. “Data is the coin of the realm, those who have the best information have the power and that’s what that enables them to do.”

Wray noted that China’s Equifax hack allowed them to illegally obtain through theft the Personal Identifiable Information (PII) of nearly half the population of the United States.

“So it’s the control of the data to conduct all sorts of big data operations,” he said. “It’s the control of the recommendation algorithm, which allows them to conduct influence operations. It’s the control of the software, which allows them to then have access to millions of devices. So you put all those three things together, and again, come back to the starting point, which is, this is a tool that is ultimately within the control of the Chinese government and it to me screams out with national security concerns.” (Read more from “FBI Director: Communist China Can Take Control of ‘Millions’ of Americans’ Phones With TikTok” HERE)

Claim: China Destroyed Evidence of Lab Leak So There Would Be No ‘Smoking Gun’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) deliberately destroyed evidence of the coronavirus stemming from a lab in Wuhan, China, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said on Thursday in response to a New York Times article asserting that there is still no “smoking gun” to prove it.

“Republicans Push Lab Leak Theory on Covid’s Origins, but Lack ‘Smoking Gun’” reads a March 8 New York Times headline. The article that follows asserts that the first hearing of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, which took place this week, “produced no new evidence but plenty of political theater.”

“…and it made clear just how difficult it might be to turn up conclusive evidence about whether the virus escaped from a lab or spilled over from animals to humans naturally,” the Times continued. . .

“The Chinese Communist Party destroyed evidence so there may never be a ‘smoking gun.’ But all the available evidence points to a lab leak. There’s a reason why the CCP covered this up,” Cotton explained:

McCarthy Vows Full Release of Jan. 6 Footage

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told Breitbart News on Wednesday that he intends to fully release to the public the tens of thousands of hours of U.S. Capitol surveillance footage from January 6, 2021.

McCarthy’s comments came during a wide-ranging hourlong on-camera interview in the ceremonial U.S. House speaker’s office in his first sit-down interview since Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired on his program some never-before-seen clips of such surveillance footage earlier this week.

“Yeah,” McCarthy said when asked if the tapes will be fully released to the public.

“We just want to make sure we go through them all, and it takes time,” he continued. “The first thing that Tucker said too, he didn’t want to show any exits to cause any problems. We asked the Capitol Police, ‘Were there any concerns?’ They came back with one, and we mitigated that, but it was interesting, that one that they had a problem with, Eric Swalwell had had up on the internet for the last two years showing that part.” (Read more from “McCarthy Vows Full Release of Jan. 6 Footage” HERE)

Biden Jokes He’s ‘400’ Years Old, Calls Trump ‘Maybe Future President’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden sounded pessimistic about his re-election chances Thursday, calling his predecessor and 2024 challenger Donald Trump the “maybe future president” of the United States.

Biden, 80, also referred to himself as “400” years old during a rambling speech in Philadelphia that was meant to highlight the release of his annual budget proposal — which includes key planks of his re-election campaign platform.

“As you can tell, I’ve only been around a few years — like 400,” Biden said jokingly after declaring he’d “never been more optimistic about America’s future than I am today.” . . .

“I had a big fight with the former president — and maybe future president,” Biden said, adding as the audience booed, “Bless me, Father.”

“The big fight you may remember going on was was our good friend, the former president, decided all the inspectors general … he fired them all. (Read more from “Biden Jokes He’s ‘400’ Years Old, Calls Trump ‘Maybe Future President’” HERE)

You’re Sorry? Gulf Cartel Apologizes, Turns Over 5 Members Tied to Americans’ Deadly Kidnapping

/0 Comments/in , /by

A secretive faction of Mexico’s notorious Gulf Cartel apologized and turned in five members who they say are responsible for the broad-daylight kidnapping that killed two Americans last week.

The cartel’s Scorpions group said it “decided to turn over those who were directly involved and responsible in the events” related to the March 3 abduction of four Americans in the border city of Matamoros, according to a letter leaked to the Associated Press by a Tamaulipas state law enforcement source.

The letter also claimed the five members “acted under their own decision-making and lack of discipline” when they attacked victims Latavia “Tay” McGee, Shaeed Woodard, Zindell Brown and Eric James Williams.

McGee and Williams were found injured but alive in a dingy shack on Tuesday after a four-day search. Woodard and Brown, however, had been shot dead.

The ambush, the letter states, went against the Gulf Cartel’s policy of “respecting the life and well-being of the innocent.” (Read more from “You’re Sorry? Gulf Cartel Apologizes, Turns Over 5 Members Tied to Americans’ Deadly Kidnapping” HERE)

Top U.S. High School Defends Chinese Military-Linked Funding: ‘Not Unusual’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The school system in charge of the top-ranked U.S. public high school is defending the school’s receipt of hundreds of thousands of dollars from groups linked to China’s military and its United Front, calling such foreign funding “not unusual.”

Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, or TJHSST, part of Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, partnered with Tsinghua University High School, or TUHS, to assist it and China generally with adopting the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, or STEM, and advanced lab research TJHSST is famous for. TUHS is closely tied to Tsinghua University, considered by the Pentagon to be a Chinese military university.

“Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology is a world-renowned academic institution known for its innovative STEM education programming,” Julie Moult, the media relations manager for FCPS, told the Washington Examiner on Thursday. “It is not unusual for elite public schools, colleges, and universities in the U.S. to benefit from donations and grants from various sources, including international sources.”

‘Twitter Files’ Hearing Erupts as Journalist Refuses to Reveal Sources in Heated Exchange With Democrat

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Texas, was accused of badgering journalist Matt Taibbi into revealing a source on Thursday during a heated House Judiciary Committee hearing on the “Twitter Files,” but the reporter wouldn’t budge.

Sourcing was a sensitive subject as it had already come up during the hearing when Taibbi was asked directly about it regarding his reporting on internal Twitter communications and accusations of government censorship. Garcia asked Taibbi when Twitter owner Elon Musk first approached him to partake in the “Twitter Files” project, which has allowed once-secret internal discussions to be exposed, revealing an array of issues.

Taibbi began to say he couldn’t reveal that information when Garcia insisted she simply needed a date.

“I can’t give it to you, unfortunately, because this is a question of sourcing, and I’m a journalist. I don’t reveal my sources,” Taibbi said.
