The Taiwan ISSUE

China and the U.S. Should open 
"talks" regarding Taiwan .
Let's slow down a potential arms  race
in the South China Sea.

Taiwan is going to be a EYE sore vary soon to the Biden Administration . SO AS we Americans should pay attention to the situation . First , I am going so say this in case you tune in the Main Stream News media , be gas lighted . I Believe that Taiwan is part of China , it not another country separate from China . Shockingly saying WHAT I SAID .  Pay attention to this : " Both the ROC and the PRC "  still officially (constitutionally) claim  (1)>>mainland China and the Taiwan Area as part of their respective territories. In reality, the PRC rules only Mainland China and has no control of but claims Taiwan as part of its territory under its "One China Principle".They agree that there is one China or Chinese nation, but they disagree on whether it should be represented by the government of the Republic of China or People’s Republic of China.   Let's talk about the real history of Taiwan . After WWII Communist seized on control of mainland China. The former (2)>>Nationalist government fled to Taiwan off the coast and continued to operate claiming to still be the government of all of China. Officially most the world recognized the Taiwanese government as the official government of China into the 1970s refusing to recognize Communist mainland China. Nixon shifted the policy as it was ridiculous to not acknowledge the government of a billion+ people. Mainland China was given the seat on the U.N. Security Council instead of the Nationalist one in Taiwan.Both governments maintain that they are the official government of all of China "One China". As long as the Taiwanese government doesn't make moves towards independence/acknowledging they are two separate countries everything proceeds. When they make noise about not being part of the "One China" fiction mainland China gets all upset and begins talking about forcing them back into the fold. 

Taiwan is not worth for the US to go to War over with China .

MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE that Taiwan is a separate nation . It's been a myth for nearly a century . The Ancient History of Taiwan has been linked to China for over 3000 years , if you read anything about ancient Taiwan it was always under the influence , or part of the ancient Chinese Empires . There must be a PEACEFUL SOLUTION to the Taiwan question . The US should seek a dialog with China , but they must invite Taiwan at the table . Peace and dialog are ever so easy .  Fighting China is dangerous a NO WIN SCENARIO for the US .  It would bring Russia into the war . LOOK Beijing also is investing considerably in military capabilities that could be employed in a Taiwan contingency. China has gone on a naval shipbuilding surge in recent years, surpassing the U.S. Navy by a count of hulls. Robert S. Ross of Boston College estimates that the Chinese Navy already has more than 300 ships, while the U.S. Navy has around 280.China is marshaling its full range of capabilities to intensify pressure on Taiwan below the threshold of conflict. People's Liberation Army forces now operate all around Taiwan. They also have been conducting highly publicized amphibious assault exercises and air penetrations of Taiwan's air defense identification zone at the highest frequency in nearly 25 years.There is almost no scenario in which the United States can successfully intervene in a war between China and Taiwan that will not leave our country in far worse shape than it is right now; in a worst-case scenario, American territory could be struck by nuclear missiles. It would be utterly insane for the Biden camp to consider any kind of war with China . After the Afghanistan fiasco , America is done waging "endless wars" . Any war with China will be the end of America . NO SIDE can afford a war . So ALL SIDES must come together and start bilateral talks to solve the Taiwan issue .

NOTES AND COMMENTS : 

 (1)>>mainland China. In the late 1920s - early 1950s China went into Civil war between the formally ruling National Party and the Communists. The communists eventually won the war, when they did the Nationalist government and military commanders fled to Taiwan where they were more defensible. The communists were never able to attack Taiwan especially in Modern Times with the US Navy guarding them. Taiwan for all intents and purposes functions like an independent nation but China still considers them rebels in revolt on Chinese territory, which she refers to as Chinese Taipei. Most of the world officially goes along with China officially but still treats Taiwan like a count. It depends who you ask. China, as in the People's Republic of China, consider it rightfully part of China. But the reality is that it's run by a separate government which they don't have power over. They consider it a "rogue province", part of China which is being ruled by an illegitimate government.Officially the government of Taiwan considers itself to be the rightful government of all of China, both Taiwan and mainland China. Their official name is actually the "Republic of China". It's actually the continuation of the regime that controlled China before the communist revolution.But Taiwan doesn't actively pursue their claim over mainland China. The main reason they officially maintain that claim is because they haven't declared Taiwan to be a separate country from China. And that's because the People's Republic of China has threatened to invade if they officially declare independence.(2)>>Nationalist government fled to Taiwan . Jiang (Chiang) Kai-shek immediately established a military authority to rule Taiwan. In less than 2 years, a conflict between the Chinese Military Security Guards and the Taiwanese civilians led to bloodshed in the whole island. On February 28, 1947, the brutal treatment of a female sidewalk vendor in Taipei by a Chinese tobacco inspector angered the Taiwanese bystanders, who began to defend the woman. The ensuing conflict between the Taiwanese civilians and the Chinese military police turned into a revolt by the Taiwanese people against the ROC authority throughout the island. To suppress the revolt, Jiang (Chiang) Kai-shek in Nanjing (Nanking) quickly sent enforcement troops to Taiwan. Upon arrival in Taiwan, the troops shot thousands of unarmed Taiwanese indiscriminately on sight. After the revolt was put down, the ROC authority arrested and executed without trial thousands more of the Taiwanese, including many elites such as medical doctors and lawyers. The atrocity committed by the Chinese army was later called “the 228 Incident” or “the 228 Massacre.”Subsequent to the 228 Incident, further oppression of the Nationalist Chinese incited an anti-Chinese sentiment among the Taiwanese people, especially the intellectuals.

The Democrats Going over the CLIFF.

infamous "tax the rich dress"
Servants wear masks and the elite go mask-less.
lingering double standards among the
Democrats . 

20 years ago I never would have imagined the Democratic party the way it is right now . The whole Party is now unhinged and going off a proverbial cliff. It’s a feature, not a gaffe or poorly engineered optics. the point is to say, “Look at what I can get away with while you’re wearing two masks, social distancing or… not being allowed to earn a living”.It’s a reminder to let you know who’s in charge, and who’s not. And when you clap for it, it’s a confirmation that this New World Order is fully supported. (1)>>The Democratic party is brimming with hypocrites .  The word “hypocrisy” comes directly from a word in Greek meaning “stage actor.” In Greek theater, the actors wore masks; we all put on different masks for various roles, following rules and conventions we may not believe in but accept and conform to for the sake of various rewards—money, love, friendship, power, and so on. Hypocrisy can be a useful part of the social order.  There are lots of EXAMPLES.  (2)>>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.), who wore a dress with the message "tax the rich" written on it.The irony of AOC demanding higher taxes on the rich while partying with them at a celebrity-filled extravaganza that costs $30,000 a ticket wasn't lost on anyone; the congresswoman addressed the criticism by noting that it was her responsibility as a New York City official to help keep "cultural institutions open to the public," and the fundraiser helps pay for the museum. The problem is BOTH covid hypocrisy and her stupid dress.Nothing more apt than masked servants scurrying about to make sure the gown trains are perfect and the masters are happy while the elite go about happy and maskless at their 30k per ticket event. The most ardent COVID lockdown fanatics out galivanting free and easy while the people they lock down serve them drinks and make sure they look great, with masks on. When people who say it is a crisis but do not act like it is a crisis, stop believing them. This event. DC mayor’s birthday gala. (3)>>Obama’s oceanfront home. John Kerry’s private plane world traveling. Fauci’s baseball game no mask nor social distancing.When someone shows you who they are, believe them.  They stem from the same malodorous cancer that has infected our society with leftism and woke politics. The “attendants” were all masked and yet there are millionaire blacks and hispanics there complaining about white supremacy. They literally enslaved these folks to work for them as automatons. Of course most of the richy rich were white liberals who claim to be antiracist and untouchable.This has been a recurring theme of the pandemic, of course. (4)>>California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, imposed brutal restrictions on California residents and demanded extreme social distancing, but had no compunction about attending a private dinner with lobbyists at the luxurious French Laundry. At the start of the pandemic, (5)>>Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot told city residents that they should delay getting haircuts. "Getting your roots done is not essential," she said. When she said "your roots," she really did mean your roots, because the mayor absolutely went and got a haircut anyway. She justified it by saying: "I'm the public face of this city. I'm on national media and I'm out in the public eye." (6)>>ANOTHER EXAMPLE is the MAYOR of SFO London Breed , Video and photos appear to show her dancing and singing without a mask in violation of city rules. The mayor said she had a good time at the Black Cat nightclub in San Francisco .But a San Francisco Chronicle reporter also posted video that appears to show Breed and many other people dancing and singing without masks, which would violate the city's mask rules.

Democrats going off the Cliff .....

Democrats are going over the 
cliff !!!

 AM going write a few things to MY Democrat friends as you scroll down and read this first . Here is the RUBDOWN . The ruling class believes they do not need to adhere by the rules they make for us plebs. There are countless examples of this. If anyone wonders why some people are not following guidance,  In fact, in one border-town, (7.1)>>1,500 illegals with COVID went through there on their way to the interior of the country in a single week.  Today along Texas border we about 13, 000 people.It’s pretty difficult to maintain there is a crisis with a deadly virus running rampant when tens of thousands of people are coming into our country without being checked for COVID or the delta variant or the lambda variant. When asked whether the issues being debated by Democratic candidates would move the country in the right or wrong direction, voters by a 46% to 43% margin said wrong direction. Both parties retreated into their expected corners, but independent voters made the difference. The same held true in issue after issue tested in the poll.When asked about the crown jewel of progressive candidates’ policy platform, a Medicare for All plan that eliminates private health insurance companies, Democrats, by a 33 point margin, support the idea. This might be good politics in the primary, but hazard lights flash ahead as general election voters oppose it 54% to 41%.  (7.2)>>RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN LIMBO . They can never pass a bi-partisan budget on any thing even Biden wants . Right now Three House Democrats on a key committeejoined Republicans in rejecting a section of President Joe Biden's $3.5 trillion budget that proposed having Medicare negotiate drug prices, one of a number of contentious issues in a bill that is at the heart of the president's domestic agenda.There is growing worry among some rank-and-file Democrats that their tunnel-vision mentality on a $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill could provoke economic blowback if Republicans hold the line and tank efforts to lift the debt ceiling. And Democrats' threadbare majorities in Congress are leaving the party with little time to wriggle out of a dangerous economic morass that could overwhelm their other priorities, from voting rights to tax increases on the wealthy to a sweeping expansion of the social safety net.It is so important for Democrats to focus on pragmatic, rational solutions that resonate with the American people, not box ourselves in to proposals that we know will be rejected.

Democrats NEED A REALITY CHECK !!

VP Kamala Harris laughing at the 
Border Crisis .

 Democrats really need a reality check , they are so out of it . (8)>>COME ON NOW . I know the two party system in America is a failure , Republicans can share the blame .  (9)>>BUT DEMOCRATS , their party is out of touch with Americans . We are living in the Woke Days , NOT AWAKEN , but to have anyone called woke is on dope  . The disturbing fact of the covid pandemic is the total numbing down of people to understand logic . The worst infection of gas lighting exists among liberal democrats. Democrats ask why millions of Americans repudiated their party in favor of repugnant and divisive Donald Trump. Could the answer be an equally divisive Democratic Party?   (10)>>I have DEMOCRAT FRIENDS !!!! Many are lost . Many confused as usual. Well, i’m a moderate as well. And i have tons of friends who are liberal and tons who are conservative. Honestly you can find things you agree with on both sides. But someones political leanings doesn’t have to encompass everything about them. That being said, As long as they can have calm discussions and are okay with hearing opinions that are opposite to their own, they probably aren’t that bad of a person.  (11)>>Democrats as they call themselves are helping the destruction of this nation. As the pandemic has unfolded over the last year, voters are beginning to understand the poor policies being implemented by their elected representatives, as existing problems became even more acute and as new problems arose.Democratic Party is just another case of old-school politics in which politically connected elites reap the benefits of cozy quid pro quos while everyone else pays for those benefits.Democrats control the whole government. They admit they are fully capable of addressing the debt limit alone.... ALONE.... They just want bipartisan cover so they can pivot as fast as possible to ramming through an historically reckless taxing and spending spree on a pure party-line vote. NOW ,What is corroding American politics is, specifically, negative partisanship: Although most liberals feel conflicted about the Democratic Party, they really hate the Republican Party. And even though most conservatives feel conflicted about the Republican Party, they really hate the Democratic Party.Up until the eve of the election last year, Democrats expected to expand their House majority, but instead lost nearly all of the most competitive congressional races in the country and held on to control of the chamber by razor-thin margins. 

NOTES AND COMMENTS :  

(1)>>The Democratic party is brimming with hypocrites .  The Democratic party is not the same party of 50 years ago . This ALSO APPLIES TO REPUBLICANS , which I will speak about in a later blog post .That's because when a prominent politician — especially one from the self-espoused "party of science" — flouts COVID restrictions, it carries consequences.  But it's the brazen hypocrisy of far too many prominent Democratic leaders flouting the restrictions they've imposed on the citizenry that now poses a public health threat, just as the winter surge in COVID infections will hit the country. Party politics, of course, has always involved considerable hypocrisy—particularly in a social-media drenched world, and particularly in a high-stakes election year like this one. The political game itself consists in large part of show business, pretense, and play-acting.(2)>>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.) The most striking contrast in modern American politics is the enormous chasm separating the Democratic Party’s economic messaging, and what actually happens economically when Democrats have power. I literally could not think of a better example to illustrate this than a rockstar Congressional Democrat wearing a “tax the rich” dress while chilling with 1%-ers while her party controls Washington DC and wealth is rapidly concentrating at the very top.  The important question that should be asked is, who paid for AOC’s attendance?If she paid, then she is still a hypocrite. But she purchased the right to make her statement.If someone else paid or, the Met gave her the ticket gratis, then the hypocrisy is much, much worse. There are probably even legal issues.Lots of explaining to do here. Can’t believe the press isn’t getting aggressive on this.(3)>>Obama’s oceanfront home. Barack Obama for his big birthday bash on Martha’s Vineyard?  At one time there were supposed to be something like 200 servants waiting on the rich and famous there.  No, you didn’t think there was a thing wrong with that even though there was quite a serious break out of the coronavirus in Massachusetts.  Did you send Obama a note chastising him for dancing without a mask at his birthday party?  In fact, before the photographs were squelched, almost nobody there was masked up. (4)>>California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat. LUCKY for him not being recalled , he like NY Gov . Coumo deserved to be ousted . People are not complaining about the price of the meal. They are complaining because he just published rules that say everyone should not have more than 3 families at thanksgiving dinner and then he went out and had party with more than 3 other families. It would be shocking if they didn't given Newsom's daily reminders to wear a mask and social distance during his briefings, but there is no denying that he walked into this and it's beyond ridiculous that he would give his enemies the opportunity given that he's no stranger to Sacramento politics.Even if they had all been quarantining for 14 days solid prior to the dinner, it still would have been bad optics. Leading by example is an essential part of getting people on board with the pandemic restrictions, and even the appearance of flouting them does serious damage to the effort to control the spread of this disease.Stuff like this, and Pelosi's indoor salon trip (setup though that may have been) just give ammo to the opposition who want people to think Dems are just out to control peoples' lives, and not earnestly trying to educate people in the risks of their behaviors.As a public figure of his stature, he clearly should have known better, and the people around him (Chief of Staff, etc) need to learn how to tell him no.(5)>>Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot  NO .one need look no farther than crap like this. Lightfoot's words and actions convey she is not really serious about her "guidelines", so why should anyone else take them seriously?Mayor Lightfoot was asked on MSNBC to defend herself against critics like myself and others that she was sending mixed messages:For the time being, this is not a renewed shutdown of businesses like gyms and barber shops, but private gatherings are permitted to have a maximum of 10 people and she advised Chicagoans not to have family over for Thanksgiving. However, just last Saturday, she celebrated the news that networks called the election for Joe Biden over Donald Trump and, without wearing a mask, spoke into a bullhorn in the crowded streets.(6)>>ANOTHER EXAMPLE is the MAYOR of SFO London Breed . San Francisco Mayor London Breed defends herself after being captured on camera breaking her own indoor mask mandate at a nightclub. She said everyone in the club was "feeling the spirit" and "not thinking about a mask." Videos and photos of Breed in the jazz club, however, continue to circulate on social media and show other people in the club were also maskless. San Francisco’s mask mandate states, "Everyone, including people who are fully vaccinated, must wear a well-fitted mask in indoor public settings at all times," and adds, "people may remove their well-fitted mask while actively eating or drinking."(7.1)>>1,500 illegals with COVID went through there on their way to the interior of the country in a single week.   Last week, a record-high 7,000 migrants were released .  They were immediately tested for the coronavirus through a city contractor. More than 1,500 people tested positive over the past seven days, according to a city document issued Wednesday, compared to a total of 7,000 confirmed cases over the past five months. Those who test positive are told to quarantine for two days but are ultimately released into the public.   (7)>>RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN LIMBO . They can never pass a bi-partisan budget on any thing even Biden wants . A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN LOOMS !!!!   Seven days before the government is set to run out of money, and by standard procedure, that reminder is going out.  The White House budget office will tell federal agencies on Thursday to begin preparations for the first shutdown of the U.S. government since the pandemic began, as lawmakers on Capitol Hill struggle to reach a funding agreement. That detachment of debt from government funding would rob Democrats of a potential messaging opportunity against the recalcitrant GOP. Democratic leaders have been mulling whether to tie the two together, thus daring Republicans to go on the record against a plan to avoid a shutdown and debt default while offering disaster aid.The move comes after weeks of debate over the best way to hike the government's borrowing limit and prevent a default in the face of opposition from Senate Republicans, who are threatening to oppose the measure to protest President Biden's spending plans.(8)>>COME ON NOW . There is maybe something to be said for the old saw, "Do as I say, not as I do." But at a certain point, it is exceedingly difficult if not impossible to take these hypocrites' griping seriously. If an elected official is beseeching a certain lifestyle or otherwise advocating for major changes to public policy, it is not too much to ask that those doing the beseeching or advocating generally live what it is they preach. A leader who leads the polity in a moral and just direction by means of personal example is acting virtuously and properly. Shouting from the rooftop while privately contradicting everything someone says publicly, by contrast, is neither virtuous nor proper; it is immoral and laughable. (9)>>BUT DEMOCRATS , their party is out of touch with Americans . A majority of independents think both parties are out of touch. About two-thirds (65%) of independents regard the Republicans as out of touch with the public; 51% say that of the Democrats. Yes, just three years ago the country was split down the middle about whether Democrats understood voters’ concerns, while only a quarter of voters thought the same about Republicans. Any reckoning of where the party goes from here has to account for this change in the public’s image of the blue party. Worse, it’s likely that the collapse has mostly come among independents and Democrats themselves — three quarters of independents and nearly half of Democrats think the party is out of touch, which can’t help turnout. Politics should not be about blindly following poll numbers, but when so many of your own supporters are rejecting the direction Democrats are moving, they may want to reconsider the course. Capitol Hill over the first weekend of the partial government shutdown, repeated so often that one ceases to hear it.It's an all-purpose way of condemning the hated "other" party. And it conveys the assumption that whoever is speaking is not out of touch with the American people.(10)>>I have DEMOCRAT FRIENDS !!!!.   It's interesting to see how the Afghanistan debacle would open the eyes of my Democrat friends . MOST OF THE TIME BEING UNFRIENDED in social media , trying to reason with a certain group of people that have been gas lighted my the main stream media is vary difficult . LOOK AT THE CURRENT SITUATION . Our two party system is broken , it's out of date , both sides of Congress constantly argue . I wonder at times how people in America would call themselves Democrat or Republican ? What seems clear in the midst of all the murk surrounding the latest government breakdown is that both parties have lost touch with the American people — or at least with the vast swath that finds Washington incomprehensible. Democrats see their party as "moral" , but to my friends and readers , the Democratic side is "immoral" , just as corrupt as the Republican side. Democrats and their allies are adding a strong dose of intimidation to their campaign of deceit. They are using social media to silence dissent from their views while creating blacklists to make it difficult for their opponents to find gainful employment. In a sign of how far gone they are, many journalists at influential outfits are now questioning the wisdom of the First Amendment and calling for government regulation of speech.As cancel culture spreads, they gaslight the public by denying that it is happening. At the same time they argue that Republicans must be silenced and even “deprogrammed” because they are delusional liars. I hate to have my Democrat FRIENDS UNFRIEND ME AT FACEBOOK , but I tell them to awaken a little the truth is HARD. (11)>>Democrats as they call themselves are helping the destruction of this nation.  The Democratic Party is going over a cliff . It's been hijacked . Democrats and the entire left should pay double for the mess created by them hitting the snooze button for the last five years. Our country is in trouble, and both parties are responsible, with the majority of the responsibility going to the party in power.We are seeing the fading of Democracy in our country as it was founded. We are seeing our rights be whittled away that our founding fathers thought they had protected America from.We now can take the Democrats at their word when they say, “When we take the White House, we will change America.” In 20 years , I have not seen a single Democratic idea lift people out of any kind of poverty in the country . We had Obama , the Clinton's . NOW the Democrats control Congress like they did in 2009 , its a repeat of the same thing with infrastructure plans that don't work as they claim to do.Both Democrats and Republicans violate the principle of Thomas Jefferson that the sum of good government is one which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvmenet, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned (Jefferson¹s First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1801). Both Democrats and Republican politicians directly cause our present economic crisis, where both husband and wife must work just to survive and leave their children unsupervised. Both major political parties take working peoples money and then spread the money around forcauses that each of us would not voluntarily support, if we had a personal choice in the matter.

General Milley's Madness & Biden's Nuclear Sub Pact.

Gen , Milley can't explain that he almost started a international incident . This should be part of the NEWS of ABSURD.  The big discrepancy I see in Milley's side of this is that I have seen no evidence that Trump was considering using a (literal of metaphorical) nuclear option to disrupt the inauguration of Biden. The fact that the inauguration went on as planned is evidence that there was nothing else going on. A lot of these tell all books published against any sitting or ex President have always been part of the sensationalist tell all distortions of facts.  Well the narrative is that (1)>>Gen. Milley had to make a drastic call to  China &  took covert steps to prevent President Trump from potentially ordering a military strike or launching nuclear weapons, a CNN preview of Bob Woodward and Robert Costa's new book "Peril," reveals on January 6th insurrection . According to Woodward and Costa, Milley believed the president had gone into "serious mental decline" following the election and was worried he might "go rogue."  In detail , The Jan. 8 phone conversation between Milley and People’s Liberation Army Gen. Li Zuocheng is detailed in the forthcoming book “Peril,” written by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward and reporter Robert Costa. The authors report that Milley told Li that the US government was “100 percent steady. Everything’s fine. But democracy can be sloppy sometimes.”  Its hard to believe what Milley said for a few reasons .  (1.2)>>First Trump can't declare war without Congress approval , even to launch Nukes. There is a process. The United States has a two-man rule in place at nuclear launch facilities, and while only the president can order the release of nuclear weapons, the order must be verified by the secretary of defense to be an authentic order given by the president . There is also the first strike rule  . Second , what Gen .   (2)>>Milley did was ostentatiously dangerous for one . It could have lead to war informing China the way Milley did could have led to a unintentional counter strike , even though no US nukes headed to China . Supposedly the Chinese military was freaking out after 1/6 and were feeling like Trump would lash out and attack them. The U.S. military was concerned of the Chinese preemptively attacking so Milley tried to offer a reassurance to calm tensions That’s just an alleged narrative however. If you believe Milley is competent and just, you’re inclined to believe it. I am personally not,  but we can’t possibly really know what’s going on actually. 

Biden's Nuclear Sub Pact .

I find it VARY STRANGE that the Costa's book , Gen Milley's secret call to China . ALL this is coming out right in the middle of  (3)>>escalating tensions with China. If no one has been paying attention President Biden Australian deal to provide nuclear subs . President Biden has agreed to help Australia build nuclear submarines and to launch a new three-country military initiative called AUKUS after Biden’s decision not to call Prime Minister Scott Morrison during the US pullout from Afghanistan sparked concern about the status of the longtime alliance. Biden announced the actions in a virtual event. Australia has been a key country in US efforts to stem the rise of China’s influence and the country already is a member of the so-called “Quad” group with the US, India and Japan, which was formed to diplomatically oppose China.As Australia crosses a nuclear threshold and the battle lines are being drawn for a  (4)>>potential showdown with China, here is the question: are we ready for it?China has been closing the gap on American military power so much so that US Admiral Phillip Davidson warned that China would "forcibly change the status quo".China has invested in anti-ship cruise and ballistic missiles to counter US naval power.The fall of Kabul has raised questions about the future of American power. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian described the agreement as "extremely irresponsible" while Chinese state media warned Australia that it was now an "adversary" of China and should "prepare for the worst."At a regular news briefing in Beijing, Zhao said the alliance "seriously undermined regional peace and stability, aggravated the arms race and hurt international nonproliferation efforts."He accused the United States and Britain of "double standards" and using nuclear exports as a "tool in their geopolitical games," as he admonished them to "abandon their outdated Cold War mentality" — a common refrain from ministry spokespeople."Otherwise, they will only shoot themselves in the foot," he added.  If the US cannot defeat the Taliban what hope is there against China?

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

(1)>>Gen. Milley had to make a drastic call to  China .In a separate series of incidents, Milley is said to have reached out by phone to Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army twice, beginning on Oct. 30, 2020, after intelligence suggested the Chinese had become concerned the US was planning an attack following military exercises in the South China Sea. “General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years,” Milley apparently reassured the Chinese military leader. “If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”He called Li again after the election, on a very busy Jan. 8. . (1.2)>>First Trump can't declare war without Congress approval.There needs to be a complete review of the procedure to initiate the 1st strike nuclear attack. Putting this responsibility solely on the president has shown how dangerous it truly is. This needs to be changed, and I believe that it should be the responsibility of the president, the chairman of the chief of staff, I and the speaker of the house. It should be and unanimous vote. That the chairman of the chief of staff had to intervene in this case with Donald Trump, shows that there is a serious issue with the current procedure to initiate a nuclear strike. This has to change. NO BODY WANTS A WAR NOT EVEN CHINA OR THE WHOLE WORLD !!!  (2)>>Milley did was ostentatiously dangerous for one . I wonder why call China ? Why NOT RUSSIA TOO ? Reps. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said in a statement that they had already asked for records connected to the calls, which Milley’s spokesman has said were intended to convey “reassurance” to the Chinese military and were in line with his responsibilities as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The House committee asked the Defense Department in August for a broad swath of records related to the November election, the transfer of power to President Joe Biden and the Jan. 6 insurrection.I think a point some people may be missing here is that these records, while potentially problematic for Milley, can also end up supporting the case/argument that Trump was so dangerous as a President that his staff were actively working to subvert potential fallout from his decisions. It's tangential at best to January 6th, but will be interesting to see what comes of it during the next hearing.(3)>>escalating tensions with China. The U.S. is not the only country seeing worsening relations with China that threaten to spill over into the global economy. Australia angered China by demanding an independent inquiry into the coronavirus origin and sided with the U.S. in banning Chinese technology firm Huawei from supplying parts for its 5G network.The breakdown in relations comes at a time when the U.S. is seeing Great Depression levels of unemployment and while the economy has contracted the most since the global financial crisis and is projected to fall further. (4)>>potential showdown with China. Under the Biden administration, Washington and Beijing have clashed over human rights, trade, the South China Sea and Taiwan. As the United States attempts to engage China on climate pledges ahead of a key international summit in November, there have been few signs of progress. A 90-minute call between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Biden last week resulted in few specifics. During the call, Xi said U.S. policies have caused "serious difficulties" in the relationship, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.

NOTES on the Aftermath of the California RECALL.

The failed recall election left California 
with lingering problems .

 

(1)>>CALIFORNIA is a sinking ship with titanic problems . Homelessness , high taxes , crime rampant , mismanagement of state funds . YOU'D think the state RECALL would have changed anything ? HARDLY .  (2)>>Newsom's win was all about money  . Newsom flooded the state with cash , pumping every institution with billions of dollars . It’s a strategy other governors have deployed to sell their spending priorities to voters,specter of the looming recall — combined with the unusual hardships of the last year and the enormous windfall of money — have added some drama to what’s normally a routine step in the annual budget-making process at the Capitol. He is exactly trying to sway voters to his side . Let explain , (3)>>FIRST WE KNEW that the election was heading for a Newsom win. Come ON NOW you'd think that the recall was not rigged ? I am going tell you how it was rigged , you need NOT to throw out mail in ballots , or use voting machines with evasive software . HERE IS THE TRICK . There is a vast majority of ignorant people in California , they work for the state public sector out of 30 million people , they  live in the state they are  over 3 million public union members . I was at one time a public school employee before I took a early retirement , I  was one of them for 30 years . I saw how unions operate , how they rouse their members , how they do this is easy : INJECT FEAR INTO YOUR MEMBERS . So if your union leaders tell you " you don't vote for Newsom it's your job". this alone sends a union member into a panic   . Unions do this all the time to their members.   (4)>>California state unions have more control over the state than the regular people do .They include California’s largest teachers union and its most vocal charter school advocates; nurses and the hospitals they sometimes clash with; Realtors, developers, building trades unions and corporate landlords who have differing views on the housing crisis; defense contractors at Lockheed Martin; abortion rights advocates; new car dealers; and the financier-turned-liberal-megadonor George Soros. All have found common cause in keeping Newsom in his job. NOW THE MONEY TRAIL is even stranger than the fact where it came from , but to who's pocket it lined . REMEMBER the Newsom camp received over 70 million dollars in campaign donations . This money never goes back to who donated it. LIKE I suspect in dirty politics the money probably was sent to Newsom's estate and bank .

Exposing  recall Racism in California 

BESIDES this , the whole recall turned into a racist attack on Larry Elders a black man  running as a Republican was labeled " a Trump clone " by US President Joe Biden . Now just look at this disgusting headline from the La Times. “ Larry Elder is the black face of white supremacy. You've been warned”. ITS SHEER UTTER STUPIDITY on the Democratic left . This whole thing could hurt any one of color running for office in this state  . People don't think California is a racist state , people will always say Alabama , or Texas .  (5)>>The worst racist offender is California really, the state has only one black senator. But besides the racist smears didn’t stop there, Governor Gavin Newsom himself blasted Elder as he spoke in Long Beach alongside President Joe Biden. During his speech, Newsom explained that voting for Larry Elder is a vote against “diversity” and “racial justice.” It obvious the "white elites " are scared of a black man with different views. Democrats are having a meltdown because Elder, a Black man, dares to say things like, "I submit to you that systemic racism is not the problem and critical race theory and reparations are not the answer." Elder would have unraveled the status quo that has been plaguing California for decades which is REAL RACISM .[ see notes comments below to explain this controversial subject ]

SO WHAT IS NEXT FOR CALIFORNIA ?

NOW that Newsom won .  (6)>>THE BIG QUESTION Can California survive another year in 2022 AD ? The year ahead is not so a sweet victory for Newsom . If 36 % of "yes" recall looks like a small number , it's really pretty large , as I explained above , the public sector Unions played a large part why Newsom survived . Larry Elder got 47 % of the vote , that too is significant . It shows that the Blue state of California has a large base of Republican voters , its MUCH LARGER than we are told to believe , I can say that the demographic maps that show red and blue on CNN are crap . They don't tell the whole story for county per county . BUT AGAIN the Unions saved Newsom's ass . NOW that is said , California has huge problems that where expressed in the recall movement that has to be addressed . California can't go on with it's high costs of living , high taxation . Homelessness is a issue not just for Democrats or Republicans in the state . California is own reputation world wide is in the dumps , its images of people living in the streets for example is now used by the Chinese government as a example of America's failed capitalist system . California , many blue states have similar problems . The next few months are going to be a challenge , there is a probability of further restrictions because of covid virus mutations . The drought is going to get worse , will it lead to more  Draconian rationing of water . FOR THOSE WHO SUPPORTED THE RECALL they should start by clearing out the Democrat legislature , if many Democrat holdings in the Senate begin there . Democrats crushed the state GOP, cementing a supermajority in the legislature and winning four congressional seats. The biggest question after the recall election is: How will Newsom serve the rest of his term? He may interpret his resounding defeat of the effort to oust him as approval of his liberal policies, or he may be humbled by the fact that Democrats had to spend tens of millions of dollars to ensure he retained his seat.  Asked about a 2022 run, Elder told a radio station : “I have now become a political force here in California in general and particularly within the Republican Party. And I’m not going to leave the stage.” Elder it seemed to backed off for a run in 2022 . BUT FOR NOW .

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

(1)>>CALIFORNIA is a sinking ship with titanic problems .  THIS IS WHY I LOVED THE RECALL ELECTION !!! EXPOSE THE HORRIBLE CONDITIONS IN THE STATE .We should be asking, where is the outrage? A picture that should have incited a mass response provoked hardly a whimper. It garnered minimal local coverage and nothing at the state, much less national level.   Having now earned the lowest bond rating of any of the 50 states, the rates it pays to borrow keep getting higher. Yet borrowing seems to be all California can do to get through from day to day. That is what is known as The Road to Bankruptcy. Democratic state government is failing to deliver basic services to Californians like adequate water, reliable power and basic education for children. No meaningful water storage has been added to our water supply in 50 years. Reliable electricity from natural gas generation and nuclear power has been significantly replaced with unreliable solar and wind power resulting in blackouts and the highest cost electricity in the country.The most obvious and visible, indeed inescapable manifestation of the state’s failure remains the homeless crisis. The staggering human costs are on display in every neighborhood, on virtually every corner, on nearly every block.Make no mistake: Officials from Governor Gavin Newsom to the lowest level bureaucrat are encouraging hundreds of thousands of people to come to California and destroy themselves.(2)>>Newsom's win was all about money  .  Unions contributed against the recall. Union money is not enough to fill the coffers of the sly governor .Gov. Newsom is the direct financial beneficiary of these corporate donations via his wife’s salary.AT&T or PG&E are writing huge checks because shareholders are clamoring to Newsom's pockets.  Mrs. Newsom’s income is part of what Gov. Newsom and his family live on. Those corporations effectively are helping Gov. Newsom pay his living expenses while they lobby his administration for favorable treatment. Gov. Gavin Newsom and his wife, First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom. Mrs. Newsom operates a non-profit foundation called The Representation Project.The Representation Project skyrocketed from a paltry $600,000 in 2011, the year Gavin Newsom became lieutenant governor, to $2 million in 2019, his first year as governor.(3)>>FIRST WE KNEW that the election was heading for a Newsom win. WE SUSPECTED why Biden , Kamala , Pelosi all flew over to California was to protect their poster boy . I wrote in a past blog post that as a alternate reality that Gov. Newsom is being groomed for a future run for President of the US as a Democrat  ! If Biden, who will be 82 years old in 2024, does not run for re-election (because he and those around him believe he's not up to it, either physically or mentally), who will be their nominee? Biden's age has already led some Democrats to begin casting about quietly for a 2024 alternative. Prior to Tuesday's California recall results, the hushed private conversations about possible 2024 candidates focused on 2020 also-rans. The only thing that could thwart his ambition would be Kamala Harris being elected president in by sheer circumstance like Biden dying in office . Not only would that stop another serious Democrat from running until 2028 — at which time there will be a ton of new faces on the scene — it is extremely unlikely that the public would vote for back-to-back presidents from the state. But STILL you can't trust Madam Pelosi either .(4)>>California state unions have more control over the state than the regular people do .California Labor Unions control everything in the state , their lobby is strong enough to influence the sate budget , with that many of the state's problems go undressed . Today, public sector unions are the most powerful political force in our State. They control a majority of our State Legislature and might control a supermajority in November if a few swing districts fall their way.  No politician, Democrat, Republican or Independent, acts without considering how it will affect the union agenda.   (5)>>The worst racist offender is California really, the state has only one black senator. California’s state Senate currently has 39 senators, and only one of them is African American. The question of racism in California is serious. It's often unchecked because California is a blue state . Besides racism , there is also sexism, a lack of a woman governor  . AS a example last year Gov. Newsom picked a Latino over a Black to fill a seat in the US senate . The choice seems to reflect appeasement to a growing majority of Latino's in the state for votes . It's like the vote counts to keep in the white elite in power in the state . I would question why would anyone in California who is black would vote to keep Newsom in is beyond logic or scruples with out realizing how racism is playing out in California .(6)>>THE BIG QUESTION Can California survive another year in 2022 AD ?  If by 2022 California has survive the big predicted overdue Earthquake , the yearly fires . I think the California government is not longer capable to serve the interest of its people like the rest of the American government . BY 2022 you see Gov. Newsom trying for a second term . Because of Joe Biden’s age, there has been speculation that he may not actually survive the next 4 years. He will be 82 at the next election. NEXT would be the BIG SHAKE UP that sends Newsom to Washington D.C after Nancy Pelosi has to fill in the shoes of Biden , by calling her Nephew . There could be a serious vacancy in California . It starts NEXT year leading to 2023 .  

The Pandemic Terror of Government .

The Pandemic Terror of Government .
"It's not about  freedom , or personal choice"

" Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. " C.S. Lewis

With the war on terror over ? Being a conspiracy theorist just means you know what's going on, basically you're ahead of the news by about a year. Don’t trade freedom for false security.  NOPE its starting again with a new target , and its YOU! Joe Biden's new vaccine mandates for federal employees don't apply to members of Congress or those who work for Congress or the federal court system.  After some more thought, I strongly suspect that Biden is coming out with these new rules because his poll numbers are flagging. There was an article from The Atlantic two weeks ago that argued Biden's unpopularity stems from the worsening of the pandemic, not from the Afghanistan debacle.(1)>>Speaking at the White House, Biden sharply criticized the tens of millions of Americans who are not yet vaccinated, despite months of availability and incentives. “We’ve been patient. But our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us,” he said, all but biting off his words. The unvaccinated minority “can cause a lot of damage, and they are.”  LETS think on this , what Biden said makes no sense . He said that the unvaccinated are creating problems for the vaccinated. Biden expressed frustration with unvaccinated Americans multiple times and said that he "understands" the "anger" that the vaccinated have against those who have not taken the vaccine. ERRR what did he say ? that the (2)>>"vaccinated are angry at the unvaccinated "??? WHAT HAS JOE BEEN SMOKING ? CORN POP'S PIPE 😝. Really what ever data Biden is using contradicts it's self . If 200 million got the jab , that leaves 80 million with no jab , BY NOW would not the United States reached heard immunity ????  (3)>>Biden's mandate reaks with a double standard .BUT Biden let over a million unvaccinated illegal alien invaders into the United States. This has nothing to do with covid and everything to do with controlling  (4)>>U.S. citizens and enriching the bank accounts of big pharma and congress. See how this works? You get the MANDATORY JAB that hasn't been fully vetted with longitudinal safety studies...But they are EXEMPT! If I had to speculate: OSHA is going to start working on / introduce some kind of workplace regulations associated with unvaccinated employees. Maybe something similar to what they did with federal employees. For feds if you are not vaccinated then weekly / twice a week testing is required, masking is mandatory, official business travel is prohibited, so it is basically a mandate. OSHA sets its own standards and regulations btw. Edit: Haha, called it!!! BIG"The requirement for large companies to mandate vaccinations or weekly testing for employees will be enacted through a forthcoming rule from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration that carries penalties of $14,000 per violation, an administration official said. The White House did not immediately say when it would take effect, but said workers would have sufficient time to get vaccinated"The variants are a result of the vaccine. The pathogen adjusts in order to evade the vaccine. If your vaccinated good for you. I am, and our chances of dying from it are slim. Blaming the situation on poor black and brown people (mostly) and fellow citizens with a broad range of concerns for a vaccine that has concerns winch i wont go into because you wont listen anyway, is the actual cowardly selfishness you seem so keen on. They keep promoting 'science' lollll they dont even understand the basics.

I was for optional vaccines, but forced vaccination is way too far. Personal liberty!

NOW we see America collapsing before our very eyes......if we let the government break the law because of an emergency, then what is stopping the government from making an emergency to break the law? Biden's speech in summary: We are are going to continue to do the 6 things that didn't work before, only this time if you don't comply, you will lose your job. (5)>>The narrative for the last several months has been "things would be back to normal if everyone would get vaccinated". I think a lot of people truly believe that so now this is an attempt to force it.  They have been telling Australians if they do ____ then they will get back to normal for months. Now drones, neighbor reporting systems, apps to let the government know if you leave your home, approved visit lists of one person, mandatory vaccines, 20,000 children taken to a convention center (no parents allowed) for mass vaccination, police door to door arrests, mass censorship and now government control of your phone, it started with what Biden said today the same way. And the kicker? Their health minister actually stated they will won’t be going back to normal in the new world order. Seriously, it cannot be all talk here in the USA, it must be mass non compliance. Biden is just itching to use martial law for “The good of us all”. I'm honestly just speechless...Mandating INJECTIONS on a government level is the literal most dystopian thing that I've ever seen in my life...I think one of the funniest things is that the crowd that fully supported the Patriot act and 20 years of non-stop war based on the faulty presumption that two 94 story towers would collapse directly into their own footprint at freefall speeds, who defended the government tooth and nail are now claiming that the government is injecting us with DNA erasers and the only hope for salvation is listening to a podcast host. They're operating purely on fear. As authoritarianism grows, some of us innately resist but most withdraw inside themselves and conform completely to avoid being the one ostracized. All rational thinking they may have employed before goes out the window as they return to a primal state. NOW Regardless of whether getting the vaccine is a good idea, mandating it is NOT. It's simply not going to happen. I hope enough Republican states revolt. Especially when the whole thing has been so politicized, trust has been eroded to some degree in the the (6)>>FDA, CDC, WHO, etc to be objectively scientific and transparent with the public (e.g. suppression of the lab leak hypothesis, cheap generic drugs like ivermectin, lies and backtracking about the nature of the virus, masking, etc.) So how come the alternative to vaccination is covid-19 testing and not proof of immunity through antibody titers? Didn't they just get done tell .The "vaccine" doesn't make you immune to the virus. What the hell is the booster boosting? Just because the gov't rushed the FDA approval means nothing to me. (7)>>Close the border! No , not the Canadian border you fools, the southern border, where all the infected people are pouring into the US and being shipped to neighborhoods near you.ng us that vaccinated people can still get and spread infection, hence the mask mandates?We were told this would all be over when we reach 70% vaccination rate. Now that we reached that, the left has to continue with the demonization of every last unvaccinated person. The corona virus is highly susceptible to mutation and new strains will constantly emerge that are resistant to the vaccine. This will never end.

Joe Biden's IRS  BANK TYRANNY !

Biden plans to use any money that is confiscated to fund his proposed plan for the Democrats’ $3.5 trillion budget plan.The House Ways and Means Committee met for its third day of debate on its portion of the tax and spending plan, which aims to raise $2.9 trillion in revenue for social projects. While President Joe Biden has pledged that those earning less than (8)>>$400,000 won’t see higher taxes, the House panel’s draft proposals would lead to some increases for that category, an official scorekeeper said.  (8.1)>>THE WHOLE PLAN IS EXTREMELY CREEPY . You don't have to be a high earner to have the IRS swoop into your bank account and get a audit .  President Joe Biden plans to allow the IRS to snoop into bank accounts, Venmo, PayPal, and crypto transactions, among other types of payment accounts.The White House, said, “This type of surveillance is needed to prevent tax evasion.”I am really torn. On one hand I am 100% onboard with focusing on mega corporations being held accountable. I do not trust that the IRS has historically treated small businesses fairly and it scares me to give them a weapon that could target us more. I’ve heard countless stories of bankruptcy from the IRS knit picking an honest business owner who just didn’t know how to file properly, even had a friend take a loan against his house and put his whole life into a start up and after 2-3 years of struggling the IRS declared his startup as a “hobby” and smashed him with fees and taxes.Simply put, the American Families Plan calls for banks and other financial institutions to report more than just a taxpayer’s interest earned, capital gains and losses. Banks and other financial institutions would also be required to report “aggregate account outflows and inflows.”  (9)>>In other words, the IRS will know about all of your bank accounts, whether you earned income on that account or not, how much is in the account in a given year, and how much was transferred in and out of the account. For example, consider a young couple saving up to buy a home. All savings are put into the “dream home” savings account. Then, when it comes time to make the down payment, the $50,000 dream home savings goes into the regular checking account, which is then wired to the seller’s escrow account. Buying a home is not a taxable event (at least for federal income tax), selling one is. Will the IRS receive information from the financial institutions that leads to an audit?In all seriousness, this is just going to get middle class families fined for not reporting minor amounts that they legitimately forgot to report because our tax system is designed to be intentionally conplex, so that you have to pay someone else to do your taxes efficiently.And yet, your bank account and finances are now going to be monitored by the federal government as they work day by day to strip your rights away. Your ancestors and the men who fought and died to give you this country are rolling in their graves. 

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

(1)>>Speaking at the White House, Biden sharply criticized the tens of millions of Americans who are not yet vaccinated. Republican leaders — and some union chiefs, too — said Biden was going too far in trying to muscle private companies and workers, a certain sign of legal challenges to come. Gov. Henry McMaster of South Carolina said in a statement that “Biden and the radical Democrats (have) thumbed their noses at the Constitution," while American Federation of Government Employees National President Everett Kelley insisted that “changes like this should be negotiated with our bargaining units where appropriate.” But just because the Constitution permits the government to require vaccines does not necessarily mean that the Labor Department may, as Biden says it will, issue a binding rule requiring large employers to encourage vaccination. The Labor Department may only act pursuant to an act of Congress. So unless Congress passes a new law, the department must rely on an existing statute if it wishes to regulate employers. (2)>>"vaccinated are angry at the unvaccinated "??? .If you're vaccinated, you're supposed to be PROTECTED! The Vaccinated should be ANGRY at the people that made the ineffective Vaccine!This is the BEST BIDEN OXYMORON ever . This flub can be read both ways . What Biden is exactly saying is that those who don't have the vaccine are infecting those who have gotten the vaccine. BUT Podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey tweeted "HOW ARE UNVACCINATED PEOPLE A THREAT TO VACCINATED PEOPLE IF THE VACCINE PROTECTS THE VACCINATED AND IF THE VACCINATED CAN SPREAD THE VIRUS."It seems that there is a lot of confusion regarding how the virus is transmitted, we all know that . What is more confusing is Joe Biden's data . 80 million people have not taken the vaccine , the rest have that is nearly 200 million people, yet we have this virus surging . Its possible that we are dealing with BREAKTHROUGH CASES rather than the unvaccinated getting the virus , regretting not having the shot. Its a lot of twisted politics here . Woah, wait a minute. What ever happened to, "It's your freedom not to get a vaccine."? Now everyone who works for a company with over 100 employees is required to get a vaccine? It's one thing if companies require it, but I question the constitutionality of the federal government mandating the vaccines . (3)>>Biden's mandate reeks with a double standard . Mandates apparently don't apply to certain people . Biden's double standard on vaccines don't apply to illegals or any refugees. Yep, it's inconsistent, but do you really think Customs and Border Patrol is capable of managing tests at that border? This, among other reasons, is why the lawless Biden Administration is reckless as to allow -- nay, encourage-- unfettered illegal immigration. The very idea of ramping up the flow of immigrants into the country at a time when we are facing a pandemic for the ages is absurd on its face. White House water carriers will insist that we can walk and chew gum at the same time. At a time when the U.S. death toll from COVID-19 recently surpassed 500,000, this administration seems tone deaf as it goes full throttle with dismantling the border security and policies that protected us the last four years. I  According to NBC News, more than 18 percent of migrant families and 20 percent of unaccompanied minors tested positive in recent weeks for Covid before leaving Border Patrol custody. The Department of Homeland Security says that testing is done via a number of federal agencies, local governments, organizations, and contractors at various stages of the immigration process. But the New York Times reported in late April that testing is often done late, well after migrants have been detained for days, sleeping in cramped quarters near strangers. But these illegals are being released regardless of what stage of a covid infection , shipped to cities all over the US . (4)>>U.S. citizens and enriching the bank accounts of big pharma. Since the start of the race for a COVID-19 vaccine, the U.S. government has funneled more than  $10 billion in taxpayer dollars to pharmaceutical companies through contracts for the expedited innovation of a vaccine. So far, the government’s investment has been made with no strings attached, not even a guarantee that any vaccines and treatments will be affordable to the people who need them.  The White House needed a whopping amount of money to coax companies to research and test and then produce hundreds of millions of doses. They initially asked for money .Ultimately, Operation Warp Speed (OWS)—the U.S. government’s Covid-19 relief program—would dole out $22 billion to Big Pharma.fizer signed a $1.95 billion deal to sell one hundred million doses of its two-shot vaccine to the United States, enough for fifty million people. It would be the first to reach American arms. The price per double shot—about forty dollars—is comparable to the price per shot of the flu vaccine. By February, the government had ordered three hundred million doses from Moderna, with its first shipment of one hundred million priced at thirty dollars per double-shot dose—cheaper than Pfizer partly because the United States had forked over nearly a billion dollars to Moderna research. Moderna’s CEO has said the price per dose will be higher for retail once the government contracts phase out.This is a case study on who really benefits when the U.S. government hands over exclusive licensing deals with no stipulations for pricing. The industry gets richer while Americans are forced to tighten their budgets, ration medicine or go without drugs they depend on. That’s been the reality of giving corporations control over prices. (5)>>The narrative for the last several months has been "things would be back to normal if everyone would get vaccinated". 15 days to stop the spread. Masks and social distancing. Vaccine. Booster shot. All of these were supposed to allow "back to normal" to happen and it never did. They keep moving the goal posts, and people just keep blindly following along. Once they have taken power to this extent they won't voluntarily give it back. It never works that way.Things would get back to normal if everyone quarantined for two weeks!Things would get back to normal if everyone wore masks!Things would get back to normal if everyone social distanced!Things would get back to normal if everyone got the vaccine!Things would get back to normal if everyone got their booster!Do you notice the pattern yet? It doesn't ever end. (6)>>FDA, CDC, WHO. They really need to get into the weeds on this. In May the cdc stopped counting breakthrough cases unless you were hospitalized. Then again in September they changed them to include people with only 1/2 the two dose regimen OR people with both shots, but still 2 weeks or less from the 2nd, as “unvaccinated”. The cdc literally changed their definition of “vaccine” a month ago because it was become obvious these mrna jabs didn’t meet the standard of the real one.The same can be said of early pandemic icu stats being for total beds, with places needing to expand capacity. Now they’re for “staffed beds”, because place need to rehire the workforce they’ve lost over the past year to unemployment benefits, burn out, or quiting in the face of vaccine mandates for Healthcare workers.Were literally in 1984 doublespeak here. Just like today were at war with isis…. K? (7)>>Close the border! According to the CDC data, the only demographic group that is seriously over represented in the percentage of CV19 cases are the Hispanics. I don't think that it is too far fetched to assume that this is because of the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens that Biden has encouraged to enter our country. If Biden is serious about reducing the CV19 infections in our country, he would seal the border. But that would assume that A. - he is actually in charge of the Presidency and B. - he has at least half a brain.The mo variant is currently walking across the southern border in infected illegal aliens, and this tyrant will use federal resources to transport these mo variant infected illegal aliens all across our country. The vaccines are irrelevant, because Biden's open southern border is a super spreader event of epic proportions. (8)>>$400,000 won’t see higher taxes. The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that, beginning in 2027, the overall effective tax rates on those making more than $30,000 will see an increase. In that year, those making $30,000 to $40,000 will see a 0.1% rise, while those making more than $1 million will see a 10.5% hike. In 2031, those making $50,000 to $75,000 will see an average increase of 0.7%, compared with a 9.2% bump for those with $1 million in income. (8.1)>>THE WHOLE PLAN IS EXTREMELY CREEPY. There is a very clear difference between what Trump did in the White House and what Biden is doing and if you can't see it, congrats, you are still plugged in. Trump had plenty of faults and criticisms but none of what he did as President holds a candle to what Biden is doing to infringe on your rights within 6 months of being in office. The people don't answer to the government, the government answers to the people and I say that as somebody in the military hell bent on getting as far away from this administration as I can. Passive threats against citizens, forcing business owners and landlords to conduct business a certain way, forced medical procedures, this is all way outside the bounds of what is acceptable. I'd never wish these things on people I hate, never mind people like you who I disagree with but have no problems with. I am on your side. I want you to live your life as you see fit and I hate the idea of somebody like Biden thinking he knows what's best for you and me in every facet of our lives. (9)>>In other words, the IRS will know about all of your bank accounts, whether you earned income on that account or not. Biden, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, IRS chief Charles Rettig and a number of Democrats in the Senate, most especially Elizabeth Warren, are pushing for the deep dive into individual financial transactions as part of an $80 billion plan to enforce tax compliance.Patrick Hedger, vice president of policy at the Taxpayers' Protection Alliance, warned that such a proposal could violate the Fourth Amendment, which protects citizens from search and seizure without probably cause.   'The IRS is first and foremost, a law enforcement agency, and the Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures in pursuit of, of looking for wrongdoing and criminal actions, so I think this is going to run into severe Fourth Amendment headwinds,' That's insane. Both the vaccine mandate and IRS Bank Spying, now  Monitor how? For how long? That's millions of people.
