England Ends Mask and Vaccine Mandate, Czech Republic Does Too, But US Democrats WANT MORE HARSH MANDATES

England ends mask mandates, working from home and vaccine passports. But in many countries, draconian restrictions still apply. So we must continue to campaign to end the mandates, restrictions and vaccine passports in other countries.

 

Prime Minister Boris Johnson ends mask and vaccine requirements in England

By Karen Curtis | WFTL January 19, 2022

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has scrapped his Covid-19 Plan B in England, no longer requiring face masks in school or working from home, signaling the beginning of the end of coronavirus.

Johnson also ended the use of Covid-19 passports.

Boris Johnson’s announcement followed a “welcome decrease” in the number of coronavirus infections throughout the UK.

“The numbers in intensive care not only remain low but are actually also falling.”

England will go to “Plan A”, on January 26th and the PM told the House of Commons that soon, self-isolation rules for people who test positive will be scrapped as well.

Will President Biden follow suit in the US? The president will speak today and take questions from the press about the COVID surge on this one year anniversary of his presidency.

England’s Covid Plan B restrictions including work-from-home guidance will be scrapped, the Prime Minister has announced.

Boris Johnson told MPs that people are no longer being asked to work from home and, from Thursday next week when Plan B measures lapse, mandatory Covid certification will end.

The Government will also no longer mandate the wearing of face masks anywhere from next Thursday and they will be scrapped in classrooms from tomorrow.

The Prime Minister also confirmed the intention to end the legal requirement to self-isolate when the regulations expire on March 24 and said the Government may move that date forward. (The Independent)

And in the Czech Republic:

Meanwhile, in barking mad left-wing America:

England ends mask mandates, working from home and vaccine passports. But Democrat America wants harsher measures still, including taking away your children…

Flag Bearers Are Found Few and Far Between These Days and Especially on a Day Hovering Around 23 degrees Fahrenheit

So when I saw this lowly figure in the distance, as I was driving down Mequon Rd. Mequon WI,  I knew that there was a story there worth stopping and freezing for.

Meet Nick Trofimoff. Nick was walking with a message, one worth freezing for but also one that is worthy of giving a listen to. Nick has family in the military. But more than that. Nick recognizes that this country is missing something these days- patriotism. He remembered 9/11, “People came together and were patriotic after 9/11. People forgot. Now that We’ve left Afghanistan, people are forgetting all over again.”, he lamented.

Indeed, if anything, we are probably more pulled apart now than anytime since the civil war. Though many had high hopes for this past year, it is clear that the rhetoric coming out of  the Washington DC leadership is creating more division, not less.

The real government leadership needed to heal and bring this country back together is sorely lacking today. In this age of symbolism, the symbolic leadership that we are experiencing from our government leaders is not going to cut it anymore. We need substance, action and results. So it is left to us to take the lead, to pick up the one banner that unites more than it divides, to embrace the unity that in our darkest moments, held us together as a nation.

Though the flag is largely symbolic, it represents the spirit of unity that we have in God’s gift of freedom to this country and the principles upon which this country was founded. If each of us in humility and gratitude could lay down their individual flags and in symbolism and substance begin to rally, one with another, to the unity that our flag represents, we just might, with God’s guidance, bring our nation back together.

May God bless Nick for warming my heart on a very cold January day, as he trudged along in the freezing cold. May we all become as Nick, united as lovers of our country, both in spirit and substance because God only knows how badly that is what is needed today!

Nick gave me permission for public publishing of his image and my permission is granted for public publishing with attribution.

My humble thanks for your kind consideration.

“Free to Vote” Should Not Mean “Free to Cheat”

“The bedrock of the American republic is that elections must be free, fair, accurate, and trusted.” – So states Mollie Hemingway in her important book, Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections (2021).


I spoke with Mollie on the radio when her book came out. She told our audience, “I found after 2020 the way that you weren’t allowed to talk about [the election] to be completely suspicious. We all lived through it. It was the weirdest election of our lifetime—but then you weren’t allowed to notice that in any way.” Nothing to see here—move along.

In order to secure voter integrity, Georgia passed a law after the irregularities of the 2020 election. And this voting law has been viciously attacked by the left. But Tim Head, executive director of the Faith and Freedom Coalition (based in Atlanta), argues that in reality this law makes it easier to vote. Despite the lies of the media, Hollywood, the woke corporations, and the liberal politicians, including President Biden (who called the law “Jim Crow 2.0”), the law is a good step toward restoring voter integrity.

Tim Head told me, “The crux of the issue really comes down to: Do Americans and do voters have confidence that we as citizens and as voters have a voice, a meaningful voice, in our government? We need to have confidence that all of our voices are heard and otherwise, we can start moving closely, more closely towards almost a banana republic status.”

Last week Joe Biden visited Georgia and tried to peddle the left’s own voter overhaul bill, the “Free to Vote” Act, which would have the effect of federalizing all elections going forward, and would remove crucial vote-security measures.

And yet, in Article I, Section 4, the U.S. Constitution says: “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof.”

Biden asserted that opposition to the bill to federalize elections was essentially racist: “At consequential moments in history, they present a choice. Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace? Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?”

But critics note that this bill would loosen common sense voter photo-ID restrictions.

Heritage Foundation’s Hans von Spakavsky, co-author (with John Fund) of Our Broken Elections: How the Left Changed the Way You Vote, told me in an interview: “Those laws have been in place now for more than eight decades. We have years of turnout data in states with voter ID laws, that data clearly shows it does not suppress votes. It does not keep people out of the polls. It certainly does not keep minority voters out of the polls.”

Ken Blackwell, Senior Fellow with the Family Research Council, notes, “If it was difficult to get a voter ID, you could say it was a restraint to participation. Well it’s not difficult and you just think whether it’s taking out a library book, getting on an airplane, buying certain adult beverages, you have to show an ID.”

Interestingly a new survey of likely Michigan voters found: “[M]ore than 75% of participants supported a requirement to show a government-issued photo ID in order to vote, while support among Black residents was even higher at 79%.”

Another security measure requires updating voter registration rolls—so that no vote is cast by say, a person who died 10 years ago.

Veteran journalist Bob Knight says, “The question I always ask is, ‘How can you be against accurate voter rolls and say that’s somehow racist or suppressing the vote, when everybody’s treated the same?’”

Some critics believe that the porous border, where hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are pouring into America, is a strategy by the left to sustain political power—by getting these people to vote and vote for the left. Recently, New York City has approved letting 800,000 illegal aliens vote in elections—local ones, for now. Critics note that this is why the Biden administration has not lifted a finger to close our southern border.

And then, there’s “ballot harvesting”—a system where third parties can collect mail ballots. Critics note this is rife with potential for voter fraud.

And on it goes.

And now Biden and the left want to completely overhaul our election system to make sure they always retain their power. Going forward, we must make sure that elections are fair and just—that it is easy to vote, but difficult to cheat. And the place to do that is in the state legislatures—according to the Constitution Joe Biden swore to uphold.

Visa Program for Illegal Alien Crime Victims Approves Forged, Altered, Unauthorized Petitions

A controversial program that awards special visas to illegal immigrants who claim to be victims of crimes in the U.S. rubber stamps petitions with forged, unauthorized, altered, or suspicious law enforcement certifications, according to a scathing federal audit released this month. The probe also discloses that the Homeland Security agency, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), that authorizes the visas has for years allowed fraud to go unchecked in the program that receives over 50,000 applications annually. It is known as the U nonimmigrant visa, or simply U visa, and it grants lawful status as well as a path to American citizenship to illegal alien crime victims and their families.

Congress created it in 2000 as part of the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act to help authorities prosecute criminals with the help of victims in the country illegally who might otherwise not cooperate with police. Though victims of other crimes and those who have suffered “substantial physical or mental abuse” may also qualify, the visa was designed to assist victims of sexual assault, gangs, domestic violence, and human trafficking. In the last few years U visa petitions have grown tremendously, according to government figures, and the Biden administration wants to expand the program even more by raising the annual cap from 10,000 to 30,000 (family members do not count against the cap). That will only add to the huge backlog. It is bad enough that a few years ago USCIS estimated that petitioners would wait more than a decade to receive a U visa if policies and processing procedures remain the same.

While on the waitlist illegal immigrants and their family members receive deferred action or parole and may apply for work authorization. A USCIS publication reveals that 22% of petitioners and 11% of derivatives were previously in deportation proceedings and nearly 10% of those approved required a waiver for fraud or willful misrepresentation. The report also states that in 2010 USCIS implemented a waitlist process due to the growing number of petitioners. By 2019 the agency estimated petitioners would wait north of 10 years to receive a U visa. The overwhelming majority (68%) of U visa applicants come from Mexico, according to figures embedded in the USCIS report. The rest come from Guatemala (7%), El Salvador (6.3%), Honduras (5.3%), India (3%) and Ecuador (1.9%).

To qualify for a U visa applicants must show that they are a victim of a qualifying crime, have information about the crime and are likely to be helpful in the detection or investigation of the crime or the prosecution and conviction of the perpetrator. Victims must submit a signed certification (1-918 form) from a law enforcement official containing basic information about the criminal activity and the victim’s willingness to assist in the detection, investigation, prosecution, conviction or sentencing. The Department of Homeland Security Inspector General (DHS IG), which conducted the latest probe, found that USCIS approved petitions with law enforcement certifications that were unauthorized, forged, altered or suspicious. Investigators from the watchdog’s office contacted law enforcement officials and confirmed in various cases that certifications had forged or unauthorized signatures. It seems that USCIS is not terribly concerned because the IG writes that, even after learning about these serious issues, the agency “did not adequately manage the U visa program” and failed to address “fraud risks.”

As part of the probe, the DHS watchdog surveyed law enforcement officials at dozens of agencies across the nation to determine if the U visa program helps solve crimes. Of 57 certifying law enforcement agencies contacted, “61 percent stated the program does not significantly improve their ability to investigate and solve crimes and 54 percent believe petitioners abuse the program,” the recently published DHS IG report says. Officials at several law enforcement agencies said the U visa program is not helpful because the requests are often for old or closed cases, and in some instances, “staged” crimes, or “exaggerated injuries.” Portions of the report are redacted but the key point is well conveyed. “USCIS’ mismanagement of the U visa program led to questionable petitioners gaining U visa benefits,” the IG writes, adding that the agency has failed to take corrective actions although it acknowledged issues and vulnerabilities years ago.

FACT CHECK: Aol.’s Absurd Article ‘4 things Biden got right in a bumpy first year’

“The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other – until one day when they are suddenly declared to be the country’s official ideology.” – Ayn Rand


We here work each and every day to contest the uncontested absurdities that are now becoming public policy.

One of our readers (H/T DTJS) sent us an Aol. article by Rick Newman titled “4 things Biden got right in a bumpy first year.”

This article peaked our interest so we decided to look at each of these “4 things” Biden got right and analyze each of them. Here’s our analysis of the “4 things”:

  1. Ending Trump’s trade wars. Newman wrote, “There are no tariffs or other punitive trade measures rattling financial markets during the Biden presidency, as there were during Donald Trump’s.” The outcome of Biden’s “no tariffs or other punitive trade measures” policy is that now China’s trade surplus has surged to a record $676.4B in 2021. Newman wrote, Biden has touted something he calls a “trade policy for the middle class.” Today middle class Americans are facing significant supply chain shortages, higher oil, natural gas and gasoline prices, empty shelves, higher prices for meat and other consumer goods. When the cost of goods goes up that is in effect a tax burden on every American. Americans, families, companies and communities prospered under Trump’s made in America tariff policies, prove us wrong!  Read: Is There Emerging Support For Trump Tariff Policies Toward China?, Self-Inflicted Food Supply Disruptions, THE CHINA TRADE WAR: National Security On The Line, and Nasdaq falls 1% Wednesday to close in correction territory, off 10% from its November record.
  2. Stabilizing foreign policy. Newman wrote, “Elsewhere in the world, Biden’s foreign-policy team is dealing with tough challenges minus the scandal and self-dealing that seemed to infuse Trump’s every move.” While Newman does admit that the withdrawal from Afghanistan was “an unqualified mess” he does not address the rise of the Taliban, the gowning aggressiveness rhetoric of Iran, attacks on Israel by radical Islamic jihadists, the possible invasion  of Ukraine by Russia and China’s attacks on Taiwan and the recent attack by a Muslim terrorist who was  granted a Visa, because Biden eliminated terrorist restrictions, to come to America and attack a synagogue in Texas.

  3. The forgotten infrastructure bill. Newman wrote, “Voters barely remember that in November, Biden signed a bipartisan infrastructure bill far larger than anything Presidents Trump or Obama could accomplish before him.” What Newman doesn’t discuss is that larger is not necessarily better. In fact there’s a lot in the infrastructure bill that has nothing to do with infrastructure. The Build Back Better Act includes: funds for prescription drugs and Medicare Part D, has a provision to reduce more than one billion metric tons of greenhouse emissions with a goal of cutting them by at least 50% in 2030, provides funds for universal preschool, expands Obamacare, expands utility and clean energy tax credits, pays for hearing aids, creates and preserves affordable housing, etc., etc., etc. What do any of these items have to do with building and maintaining roads and bridges? Answer: Nothing! Read: Does Biden’s $1.2 Trillion Infrastructure Bill Include a Mileage Tax? and Biden Infrastructure Plan Would Hurt Economy in 3 Ways over Long Run, Ivy League Analysis Finds.
  4. Sensibility and empathy. Newman wrote, “This might not count for much, but Biden really does sound reasonable as he pleads with Americans to do what is necessary to crawl to the end of the COVID pandemic.”  Robert Knight in a column titled “‘The Great Unifier’ tells half the country to go to … well, you know” reported, “Mr. Biden, who earlier called ‘white nationalists’ the greatest security threat facing America, went full demagogue at an Atlanta college: ‘I will defend your right to vote and our democracy against all enemies foreign and, yes, domestic. [Joe Biden] invoked Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy; and Bull Connor, who abused civil rights marchers; and George Wallace, who is a famous segregationist – and he basically said if you don’t agree with [his] attempt to nationalize elections and end the filibuster, you’re one of these people. In other words, you’re an enemy of America. This was shocking. Even moderate Democrats were shaking their heads saying he’s gone off the deep end.’” Empathy? Really? It seems that Biden has empathy for convicted felons, the enemies of Israel and the only those who are vaxxed. Read: Majority Of Democrats Favor House Arrest For The Unvaccinated, Nearly A Third Want Them To Lose Custody Of Children: Poll, U.S. ambassador to Israel: ‘The Biden administration believes it must take care of the Palestinian people’, Unhinged Leftists: Now, That’s Entertainment! and UNBELIEVABLE: Biden elevates convicted felon Floyd above Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Fact check: Aol.’s  Soviet Style Agitprop!

The Bottom Line

We found Aol. and Rick Newman’s article pure propaganda. Trade War? Really? The world was screwing us on trade deals until Trump took over. Now the world is screwing U.S. since this has now become Biden’s official policy motto – Screw the USA!

Stabilizing Foreign Policy? Russia is getting ready to invade the Ukraine, Iran is becoming more aggressive and will have a nuclear weapon soon, the Taliban has taken over Afghanistan and is threatening us, our southern border is a disaster and we just had a Muslim take over a synagogue in Texas who was wanted by the British.

What forgotten infrastructure bill? Biden’s infrastructure bill is filled with pork and payoffs.

Sensibility and empathy? Really? Biden’s going after anyone who is against his mandates, power grab of the election process by federalizing it, etc. Biden’s only empathy is for illegal aliens, Antifa and Black Lives Matter. On Martin Luther King Day Biden empathized with George Floyd, a convicted felon and drug addict, over Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stating, ““Dr. King’s assassination did not have the worldwide impact that George Floyd’s death did.”

We have come to our decision. Aol. and Rick Newman are Soviet style “propagandists” who gloss over what is happening in America because of this administration’s policies. Aol. is the new Pravda under Joseph Stalin.

Carville: ‘Dems Whine Too Much’ — ‘Quit Being a Whiny Party’

Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press, cadaverous, cantankerous Democrat strategist James Carville declared that Democrats “whine too much” when asked about President Joe Biden’s popularity with his own party members.

Asked what he would fix first among the Biden administration’s failures on every issue, Carville replied, “There’s an expression that I love. It’s called ‘soldier on,’ right? And I don’t think we have sufficiently — if you’re a part of the Democratic base and you don’t care about child poverty, and you don’t care about hourly workers, then you’re really not a Democrat, right? Now, I think a lot of the Democratic base has not been told or informed of the things that, that that President Biden and this Congress has accomplished.”

Perhaps that’s because Biden and this Congress have accomplished nothing except to drive the ship of state into an iceberg.

“But to me, those are the things that, that if I’m a Democratic, I much more care about that than some word in a dictionary — that children are going to bed with a full stomach and a warm, you know, a warm house. I care that somebody, an hourly worker, is not sitting there working away at $7.25 an hour. And I see these signs all over, even in Louisiana and south Mississippi: $700 signing bonus. Those are, those are real accomplishments. And it’s something that you can run on.”

Maybe the Democrats could run on soaring fuel prices and record inflation, too, since that’s what they have accomplished.

“And again, you don’t talk about what you didn’t get. That’s what these — Democrats whine too much, Chuck,” Carville continued. “Just quit being a whiny party. And get out there and, and fight, and tell people what you did. And tell people the exact truth.”

If Democrats were ever to run on “telling people the exact truth,” they would never win another election.

In August 2016, Carville asserted that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was “pretty stupid when it comes to politics,” adding that “this guy is a loser and he’s not running a very smart campaign.” When a Vanity Fair interviewer asked Carville, less than three weeks later, to comment on the upcoming presidential election between Trump and Hillary Clinton, Carville said: “It’s hard to look at it right now and come to any other conclusion than it is going to be a pretty sizable win for the Democrats.” Moreover, he described Trump as a candidate who “fit perfectly with at least half of the Republican Party, which is some version of an ethnocentric, nationalistic party” whose white members tended, in Carville’s vernacular, to embrace Trump’s claims that all of their problems had been caused by “stupid politicians and immigrants.”

Shaming unvaccinated people has to stop. We’ve turned into an angry mob and it’s getting ugly

Vaccination has become such a sensitive issue it easily triggers the instinct to shame others.


Unvaccinated mother, 27, dies with coronavirus as her father calls for fines for people who refuse jab.

This is the kind of headline you may have seen over the past year, an example highlighting public shaming of unvaccinated people who die of COVID-19.

One news outlet compiled a list of “notable anti-vaxxers who have died from Covid-19”.

There’s shaming on social media, too. For instance, a whole Reddit channel is devoted to mocking people who die after refusing the vaccine.

Covid-19 vaccinations save lives and reduce the need for hospitalisation. This is all important public health information.

Telling relatable stories and using emotive language about vaccination sends a message: getting vaccinated is good.

But the problem with the examples above is their tone and the way unvaccinated people are singled out. There’s also a murkier reason behind this shaming.

Why do we shame people?

Public shaming is not new. It is entrenched in human history and psychology. From an evolutionary perspective, shame is a way of keeping individuals accountable to the other members of their community for their perceived anti-social behaviours.

Philosophers Guy Aitchison and Saladin Meckled-Garcia say online public shaming is a way of collectively punishing a person “for having a certain kind of moral character”. This punishment (or “reputational cost”) can be a way of enforcing norms in society.

However, shaming others is also a way of signalling our own virtue and trustworthiness. Moralising about other people’s behaviour can help us feel better about ourselves.

The online world exacerbates this human tendency. It polarises two heavily moralised camps: the self-perceived good, responsible people on one side (the shaming ones), and the ones considered bad, irresponsible people on the other (the shamed ones).

Vaccination has become such a sensitive issue it easily triggers the instinct to shame others.

Do people deserve to be shamed?

Shaming people for their health-related choices disregards the complexities about whether people are individually responsible for their own decisions.

Take obesity, another example associated with public shaming. The extent to which individuals are responsible for their obesity or for the lifestyle that causes obesity is complex. We need to consider issues including genes, environment, wealth, as well as choice. Indeed, shaming people for their obesity (“fat shaming”) is widely considered unacceptable.

Likewise, low levels of vaccine uptake in some communities is often linked to structural inequalities, including health inequality, and a resulting lack of trust. The blame for this situation is typically placed on broader society and institutions, and not on the affected groups or individuals.

If someone cannot be blamed for something, then shaming them is not ethically justifiable.

In discussions of responsibility it is now common to focus on “structural injustice” or “inequality” – the injustice of various social factors that shape choice and behaviour.

This applies not only to obesity, drugs, alcohol but also to vaccination decisions.

Even where this is not the case, there has been a targeted, systematic and even state-sponsored misinformation campaign about vaccines. People who are misinformed are victims, not perpetrators.

Finally, we should remember why medical ethics has designated autonomy and consent as foundational ethical values. Even where there is a clear expected benefit, and only very rare side effects, these won’t be shared equally. Many will have their lives saved. But some people will be the ones who suffer the harms. This a strong reason for respecting people’s decision about what risks to take on themselves.

Barring any public health issue, an individual should make the decisions about health risks, whether they are from the disease or vaccines. Shaming them disregards the complexities of the distribution of risks and benefits, of the way individual values affect individual risk assessment, and of personal circumstances shaping individuals’ views on vaccines.

Granted, public health ethics is a broader area and autonomy does not have the same weight there, because other people’s health interests are at stake.

But when public health issues do arise, it is up to public health authorities to limit autonomy through appropriate and more ethical strategies.

One of us (Savulescu) has previously argued for incentives to vaccinate. Mandatory vaccination (such as imposing fines, or other penalties such as limitations on access to certain spaces) would require a separate ethical discussion, but could also be preferable in certain circumstances.

Shaming is a form of vigilantism

One could plausibly imagine shaming pleases people who are vaccinated – especially the most self-righteous among them. But those who are opposed to vaccines, or who mistrust the government messages, are unlikely to be persuaded and may even be entrenched.

Even if shaming was effective, shaming wouldn’t necessarily be ethically justified. Not everything that is effective at achieving a goal is also ethical. Torture is, generally, not a justifiable way to obtain information, even if that information is credible and life-saving.

Shaming is a form of vigilantism, a mob behaviour. We have moved beyond burning witches or atheists, or lynching wrong-doers. We should stop doing these things also in the metaphorical sense.

We have parliaments and formal mechanisms for limiting behaviour, or incentivising it. We should leave it to these to regulate behaviour, not the media or the mob.

China’s Trade Surplus Surges To Record $676.4B in 2021

This can’t continue. The Republican Party must make repatriating our manufacturing back to the United States a major issue in 2022 and 2024. President Trump or Governor DeSantis will take the fight to China when they take office in January 2025.

China’s trade surplus surges to record $676.4B in 2021

By I-24, January 14, 2022

BEIJING (AP) – China’s politically volatile global trade surplus surged to $676.4 billion in 2021, likely the highest ever for any country, as exports jumped 29.9% over a year earlier despite semiconductor shortages that disrupted manufacturing.

The country’s monthly trade surplus in December swelled 20.8% over a year earlier to a record $94.4 billion, customs data showed Friday.

China piled up a series of monthly export surpluses in 2021 but they prompted less criticism from the United States and other trading partners than in earlier years while their governments focused on containing coronavirus infections.

Exports rose to $3.3 trillion in 2021 despite shortages of processor chips for smartphones and other goods as global demand rebounded from the coronavirus pandemic. Manufacturers also were hampered by power rationing in some areas to meet government efficiency targets.

The surplus with the United States, one of the irritants behind a lingering U.S.-Chinese trade war, rose 25.1% in 2021 over a year earlier to $396.6 billion. Trade envoys have talked since President Joe Biden took office in January but have yet to announce a date to resume face-to-face negotiations.

Exports to the United States gained 27.5% over 2020 to $576.1 billion despite tariff hikes by Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, that still are in place on many goods. Chinese imports of American goods rose 33.1% to $179.5 billion.

In December, China’s monthly trade surplus with the United States rose 31.1% over a year earlier to $39.2 billion. Exports to the U.S. market rose 21.1% to $56.4 billion while imports of American goods edged up 3.3% to $17.1 billion.

Chinese imports in 2021 rose 30.1% to $2.7 trillion as the world’s second-largest recovery rebounded from the pandemic.

Economic growth weakened in the second half of the year as Beijing carried out a campaign to reduce what it sees as dangerously high debt in the real estate industry, but consumer spending was above pre-pandemic levels.

Manufacturing activity edged higher in December but new export orders contracted, according to survey earlier by the government statistics bureau and an industry group, the China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing.

Chinese exporters benefited from being allowed to resume most normal business in early 2020 while foreign competitors faced anti-coronavirus restrictions on travel and trade. That advantage carried into 2021 as other governments renewed controls in response to the spread of new virus variants.

Earlier, forecasters said Chinese exporters would benefit from the spread of the latest variant, omicron, which Beijing appeared to be keeping out of the country. More recently, however, China has responded to outbreaks within its own borders by imposing travel restrictions on major cities including Tianjin, a manufacturing center where omicron was found.

China’s global trade surplus was a 26.4% increase over 2020, which economists said then was among the highest ever reported by any economy. They said the only comparison as a percentage of the economy’s size likely was Saudi Arabia and other oil exporters during their price boom in the 1970s, but their total revenues were smaller.

The swollen trade surplus has strained the ability of China’s central bank to manage the exchange rate of its yuan, which has risen to multi-year highs against the U.S. dollar as money flows into the country.

How to Build Artificial Islands in the China Swamp

Many thanks to Laser List member Clare Lopez for her article on the connections between the U.S. government and China’s biological weapons program, cited herein.

A book due out January 25th gives new details about how communist China has corrupted American elites.  The author is Peter Shweizer who has made a name for himself exposing the corruption of the Clintons, the Biden family, and Congress critters.   His new book, Red-Handed, is subtitled “How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win”.  The book reveals “the secret deals wealthy Americans have cut to help China build its military, technological, and economic might…. [M]any of these elites quietly believe the Chinese dictatorial regime is superior to American democracy.”  Schweizer calls this the scariest investigation he has ever undertaken.

But you don’t have to wait for the book to get a good idea of what our corrupt elites have been up to with China, lately.  A quick trip through recent news gives you that:

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the $10 million civil servant, has investments in China, including a pharmaceutical company.  Fauci has ties to EcoHealth Alliance which was funded by NIH to work with the Chinese military on gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.  The connections between the U.S. government – specifically NIH and its National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases run by Fauci – and China’s biological weapons program are all out in the open now.  No lab leak here, no sirree.

I previously reported to you how John Kerry, who can’t be bothered about China’s human rights abuses because he’s just the “climate guy”, also has investments in China, big ones.  In December, Kerry objected to the Uighur anti-slavery bill moving through Congress because it would upset China.  Or was it because it would upset his investment portfolio?

Two members of the House January 6th Committee have sizeable investments in China.  Elaine Luria has six figures invested in a Chinese company with ties to China’s military, a company our State Department calls a “tool” of the Chinese Communist Party.  The company develops surveillance technology for social control.  The husband of Stephanie Murphy manufactures in China.  Foreign companies in China must wear a ‘red hat’, that is, establish units to carry out the wishes of the Chinese Communist Party.  Yet we are supposed to believe Murphy’s tough talk on China.

There’s more, including lots on Hunter Biden, but I’ll save it for another day.  Let me end with a story that’s in the news today.  The co-owner of an NBA team, a million-dollar Democrat donor, was widely criticized for saying ‘nobody cares about the Uighurs.’  The NBA does substantial business in China, which the U.S. has accused of genocide of the Uighurs.

If you think China’s dictatorial communist system is superior to ours, we’ll start that conversation with the 35 to 60 million people who starved to death in the deliberately engineered famine of China’s Great Leap Forward, the protesters who were reduced to pulp when the tanks rolled over them in Tiananmen Square, the rape of Tibet, and the genocide of the Uighurs.  Then we’ll see how much of your case is left.

Enjoy the Olympics.

The Framing of Patriot Elmer Stewart Rhodes III

The Democrats who stole the 2020 election and put in power a mentally challenged and unstable president, whose reputation as a pervert, crime boss and American traitor came with him, have had a bad year. The extreme left of the party has taken control and has continuously helped destroy any vestiges of decency that political party ever had.

To hide and distract citizens from these horrendous policy disasters and constant failures plus the seemingly never ending continued destruction of our constitutional republic, they use false narratives like race, right wing extremists, climate change, white privilege and blaming everything on Trump!!!

Their latest lie is about a group they love to hate. The Oath Keepers. A patriot group founded in 2009 by Elmer Stewart Rhodes III, 56, a former military parachutist who joined the army right out of school. After a night exercise went wrong and he was injured he interned for Ron Paul, another hero of mine. He then went to Yale and became an attorney. He became more involved in the politics and neglected his law practice in Montana and he was disbarred. He was ahead of the curve and saw which way this country was heading and he created Oath Keepers, which was when he and I became acquainted and I joined his awesome organization.

Members pledge to “fulfill the oath all military and police take to ‘defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic,’” and to defend the Constitution. Not on our watch is our motto.

We were involved in the unconstitutional overstep of the federal government at the Bundy Ranch in Bunkerville, Nevada. Armed militias stood up against tyranny and we won. This was done during that other traitor, girly boy and seriously testosterone challenged Hussein Obamas presidency which drove this country towards where we are today.

During the Trump era things normalized more and we could relax a little, but the hatred and racial strife being pushed by the left bought the possibility of a civil war/separation of the states as once again there was no common ground. The New Socialist Democrat party kept moving left and then left again leaving many Americans behind. The great results of the Trump administration were belittled and lied about and manipulated by possibly the worst and most corrupt media in the world.

As it became clear as day that the Biden camp and the extremists had actually pulled of the largest singular act of treason by stealing an actual presidential election, it was understood by many of us that there was a real possibility of conflict.

When the rightful and truly elected president, Donald J Trump, called for a rally to protest the stolen election, everyone with half an active brain cell understood that the extreme left, made up of real domestic terrorists and their groups like BLM, Antifa and other commie and socialist groups, who all summer had protested and rioted in major blue cities, causing billions in damages and the death of many innocents without any criminal recourse, would likely try to counter protest and infiltrate the Trump rally.

Oath Keepers knew that. The many conversations and messages between active members quite rightly made plans to defend the rally, the president and property from more than likely serious physical harm. It was truly believed that any protest by the Trump supporters would be met with bloody and furious counter protesters and plans were made accordingly. No laws were broken and what clothing was worn was irrelevant. Not criminal action.

Constitutionalists and true patriots were infuriated by the whole blatant electoral fraud perpetrated by the Democrats. Many saw it as their duty to protest and try stop the certification of the process until an independent and full investigation was carried out. After all, we have all learnt that it’s not always possible to get just judicial results on a system so corrupted by the left where constitutional decisions are made politically and thus breaking the Oaths these judges took.

Whether or not Rhodes spent $15,000 on weaponry, legal purchases and weapons is also irrelevant. They were not taken to the Capitol. The only truly armed people there were members of one of the most corrupt police forces in this country and one that needs disbanding. The only true death caused solely by the protest at the Capitol building was the cold blooded murder of a slight in stature, blond former air force veteran female patriot who posed no physical threat to any trained and well armed officer there. She was murdered. Plain and simple. There will never be justice for that murder until that officer is arrested and faces charges. He was a coward.

The indictment of Stewart Rhodes and other Oath Keepers is like the one on Kyle Rittenhouse – pure fiction. Designed to take the sheep minds off the disaster that is the result of the failed and anti American Biden Agenda.

The several members who have been previously imprisoned in draconian fashion by this evil DOJ have been intimidated and forced with mental and physical torture to “rat” on others, including Stewart Rhodes and others in leadership positions. All to either just get it done, get their lives back or some other reason. The whole idea is to also attempt to destroy a good and patriotic organization.

Let’s be honest here, Stewart Rhodes has more love and more patriotism in his little finger on his left hand for this country than the entire Biden administration and its corrupt alphabet agencies and Justice Department.

People have infiltrated the ranks and inner circle of the Oath Keepers as the left try and get it destroyed. Some were there in January 6th. Meanwhile their own domestic terror groups can run amok doing whatever they want with impunity.

America. The time is coming. We have one chance to take our country back this year and if we fail the possible end result could be catastrophic. For the left —-

Gallup Shocker: GOP Now Leads Democrats in Voter Affiliation

What’s shocking is that any rational American would affiliate with the diabolical Democrats.

Gallup Shock: GOP Now Leads Democrats in Voter Affiliation

By Charlie McCarthy | Newsmax | 17 January 2022:

Americans’ political party preference during 2021 shifted from Democrat to Republican in the largest move since Gallup began regularly measuring party identification and leaning in 1991.

Democrats went from a nine-percentage-point advantage in the first quarter of 2021 to a rare five-point deficit to the GOP in the fourth quarter, Gallup said Monday.

A total of 49% of Americans considered themselves Democrat in last year’s first quarter, but that fell to 42% in the final quarter. Survey respondents identifying as Republican increased from 40% to 47% during the same period.

The survey results were based on aggregated data from all U.S. Gallup telephone surveys in 2021, which included interviews with more than 12,000 randomly sampled adults.

The fourth-quarter numbers belied the overall 2021 average that said slightly more U.S. adults identified as Democrats or leaned Democratic (46%) than identified as Republicans or leaned Republican (43%).

Gallup’s latest monthly estimate, from December, showed the two parties about even — 46% Republican/Republican leaning and 44% Democratic/Democratic leaning.

Gallup said that both the nine-point Democrat advantage in the first quarter and the five-point Republican edge in the fourth quarter were among the largest it had measured for each party in any quarter since 1991.

Republicans held as much as a five-point advantage in a total of just four quarters during the past 31 years, the last time being in early 1995, when they held a five-point edge after winning control of the House of Representatives for the first time since the 1950s.

The GOP held a larger advantage only in the first quarter of 1991, after the U.S. victory in the Persian Gulf War led by then-President George H.W. Bush.

Democrats’ lead in the first quarter was the largest for the party since the fourth quarter of 2012, when the party also had a nine-point advantage. Democrats held double-digit advantages in specific quarters between 1992 and 1999, and nearly continuously between mid-2006 and early 2009.

Gallup said that the shift in 2021 party preferences likely was tied to President Joe Biden’s terrible first year as president.

After enjoying relatively high ratings upon taking office on Jan. 20, Biden’s approval ratings have been in free fall since the disastrous troops withdrawal from Afghanistan in late August.

The president’s ratings have continued to drop as the U.S. battles rising inflation and another surge of COVID-19 due to the omicron variant.

Among Americans claiming to be core supporters, Democrats (29%) and Republicans (27%) both trailed independents (42%).

NYT Calls For ‘War-Gaming’ Insurgency, Secession, Civil War

New York Times essay last Thursday titled “We Need to Think the Unthinkable About Our Country,” called to intensify “war games” for scenarios concerning the 2024 presidential elections such as “insurrection, secession, insurgency and civil war,” in order to avert “America’s abject political decay.”

The essay was penned by Jonathan Stevenson, former National Security Council staffer under Obama, and Steven Simon, a former State Department staffer in the Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, and Obama administrations.

It begins by claiming that the U.S. is “even more alarmingly fractious and divided” one year after the January 6 Capitol breach, which the Left has falsely deemed an “insurrection” that represented such a serious threat to democracy that they want to commemorate it every year as a reminder that supporters of former President Trump are domestic terrorists.

“Regrettably, the right has sustained its support for Donald Trump and continued its assault on American democratic norms,” the authors ranted. They argue — correctly — that the next presidential election “will almost inevitably be viciously (perhaps violently) contested,” but they neglect to mention that it is the Democrats who violently contest election results that don’t go their way. Instead, the authors claim that “a right-wing minority — including many elected politicians — is now practicing a form of brinkmanship by threatening to unilaterally destroy American democracy.”

Stevenson and Simon posit hysterically that “War games, tabletop exercises, operations research, campaign analyses, conferences and seminars on the prospect of American political conflagration — including insurrection, secession, insurgency and civil war — should be proceeding at a higher tempo and intensity.”

This is fear-mongering demagoguery and incitement to violence. The left’s chief propaganda outlet — the New York Times — is outright pushing for civil war against its political opponents. They are the ones threatening to destroy American democracy.

93 Known Connections

Today The New York Times is America’s largest metropolitan newspaper and one of the most widely read dailies in the world, with a circulation (as of 2006) of approximately 1,142,464 copies on weekdays and 1,683,855 copies on Sundays. Owned by The New York Times Company, which also owns the Boston Globe and 14 other newspapers, the Times is published in New York City by Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr. and is distributed internationally. It has 16 news bureaus in the New York region, 11 national news bureaus, and 26 foreign news bureaus. As of December 2005, the Times staff consisted of more than 350 full-time reporters and approximately 40 photographers, in addition to hundreds of free-lance contributors.

During the course of its history the Times has won 94 Pulitzer Prizes (including a record seven in 2002), far more than any other newspaper. These awards have sometimes been fraught with controversy, however. For example, Walter Duranty was a Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times Moscow correspondent in the 1930s who concealed his knowledge of Joseph Stalin‘s mass murders and other atrocities in the Soviet Union. In 1933, at the height of the Russian famine during which millions starved to death, Duranty wrote that “village makets [were] flowing with eggs, fruit, poultry, vegetables, milk and butter. … A child can see this is not famine but abundance.” According to historians, reports such as these were crucial factors influencing President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s decision to grant the Soviet Union diplomatic recognition in 1933. Writes historian Ronald Radosh,  “Duranty was a propagandist for Stalin and everything he wrote was a lie.”

Biden’s Handlers Ditch Greece’s EastMed Pipeline Project in Order to Appease Turkey

Biden’s handlers: forever projecting weakness on the international stage.

US quietly ditches Greece’s EastMed pipeline project to ship Israeli gas to Europe

by Ragip Soylu, Middle East Eye, January 11, 2022:

The US government silently abandoned an eastern Mediterranean pipeline project that would carry Israeli gas through Cyprus to Europe this week by submitting a non-paper to Athens explaining its reasons, Middle East Eye has learned.

The US non-paper, according to the Greek media, described the project as a “primary source of tension” and something “destabilising” the region by putting Turkey and regional countries at loggerheads.

A non-paper is an unofficial diplomatic correspondence.

A Greek diplomat, speaking anonymously to Middle East Eye, said the media reports were exaggerations.

Greek public broadcaster ERT claimed that the non-paper also listed three reasons to explain why the US no longer supports the project: environmental concerns, lack of economic and commercial viability, and creating tensions in the region.

The project angered Ankara in 2020 after Greece, Israel and the Greek Cypriot administration signed a deal to build a 1,900-km long natural gas pipeline in the eastern Mediterranean, passing through disputed maritime territories claimed by both Turkey and Greece.

The Trump administration and its secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, had been strong supporters of the project, as well as the Eastern Mediterranean Gas Forum that excludes Turkey, under the pretext that Europe needs to diversify its energy needs vis-a-vis Russia.

The US State Department, now under President Joe Biden, abruptly changed that policy on Sunday and said that Washington was shifting its focus to electricity interconnectors that can support both gas and renewable energy sources….

Dear Jimmy Bob Acosta RE: Your article on President Trump’s lying?

Good day Jimmy Bob Acosta and CNN staff,

I would just like to congratulate Jimmy Bob Acosta on his Pulitzer Prize winning article regarding elected President Trump’s lying.  The one titled, Drowning in Lies: Trump and his allies.  What a fair, unbiased, even-keeled article by Ole Bob.  But, I guess that has always been his mantra, such journalistic integrity.  Kudos Bobby!

My question is, will he be giving the same attention in regards to lying, with the installed person in the White House now, Joey Robinette Biden Jr. a.k.a. the dementia ridden puppet of Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein?  If Jimmy Bob is so intrigued by lying, why not address the sociopathic behavior of Joey Talibiden.

Here, I’ll even give Bobby a few of little Joey’s pieces  of “malarkey” to start off his next Pulitzer.

  • I will not leave any American behind in Afghanistan!  Of course this was until the Taliban (extreme terrorist organization), told Joey Robinette and world super power America, to be out of the country by 8/31/21.  Geez, I thought tough guy Joey Robinette takes people behind the wood shed, not the other way around.  There are still Americans there today! But don’t worry, the houseplant occupying the White House is sending “relief money”(wink, wink) to Afghanistan, you know for humanitarian reasons.  Just, too funny.
  •  I will not issue a vaccine mandate!  Boy that one didn’t age well, huh Bobby?  Well he tried, all the way up to the Supreme Court.  Even with the fair and balanced Justice Sotomayor chiming that there are over 100,000 kids in hospitals with Covid, many on ventilators!  Of course, this was immediately rebuked  the very next day by the CDC, which said there are fewer than 3,500 kids in hospitals with Covid.  Hey, here’s an idea Jimmy Bob, after Joey’s article maybe you can do an article on Sotomayor’s lies and ineptitude.
  • If you get the shot, you will not have to wear a mask!  How’s that one working out?
  • I will shut the virus down, not the economy!  I have a plan to end the virus! So Jimmy Bob, when do you think Ole Lying Biden is going to spring this earth shattering plan on us…..I mean it has been a year already.  What’s the delay from Dr. Dementia?
  • Denies there is a problem at the Southern border.  He says Border Czar Heels Up Harris is doing a fantastic job. Do you concur with this statement by the great unifier, Jimmy Bob?  We reached out to Kalamity, but all she did was laugh hysterically.
  • The unvaccinated are the reason for this deadly virus!  Really, 3 shots, masks, social distancing (I personally love that one), shutting down businesses, houses of worship, gyms, entire cities for that matter…….that didn’t do it?  Gotcha!  I must say, if nothing else, the guy at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is entertaining.  Actually, you are too Bobby Acosta.
  • The economy is doing great!  Really, how are those wage gains doing against staggering inflation? How is the labor participation rate doing there champ?  Etc., etc., etc.
  • I will not relieve students from paying back their loans.  I will though, keep granting them a moratorium every few months on paying it back instead.  You know, to stay in the good graces of millionaire Bernie Sanders and the brilliant AOC.  Sort of a back door way to grant them loan cancellations.
  • Of course, tons of other little fables, Beijing Biden has told.  That he was arrested during a civil rights march……false!  That he was arrested trying to visit Nelson Mandela…….false.  His infamous Amtrak fairy tales (told numerous times, even against advisors wishes, either stubborn/or just dementia)……false.  He used to drive tractor trailers………false.  He used to work in coal mines…..false.  He was shot at in Iraq…..false.
  • Etc., etc., etc.

Well Jimmy Bob boy, you get the idea.  These are just a few of the fables this pathological liar has told.  It should be enough to get you started I would think.  Now that I think of it, you are probably getting all this material together for a book, due to the volume of lies. Maybe call it, Joey Robinette, Pathological Liar or Dementia Patient.  Or better yet, Installed Puppet. As a bonus, you could include transcripts of his last two speeches………wow, talk about sun downing. Geez!

Maybe you could work in conjunction with that other truth seeking outlet, The NY Times.  The Executive Editor over there Dean Baquet is as pure as the driven snow. Yep, old Deano, they don’t make them like that anymore.  He is right up there with Joey Talibiden, as far as integrity goes.  Maybe get a foreword done by the other even keeled seeker of truth, MSNBC anchor, Rachel  Maddow.

One question, do you realize how entertaining you are Jimmy Bob Acosta?  Like the Times or CNN, in general, that is.  I love to start my day with you guy’s headlines……absolutely hysterical.  You do know that, right?  I mean this is being done for comedic value, right? This isn’t serious journalism, right.  Nah, I didn’t think so, just too, too funny.

Keep up the great writing Jimmy Bob boy.  You guys provide such comic relief during these trying times.

Hey, how is Chris “Fredo” Cuomo doing?  Do you guys keep in touch? How’s Toobin doing?  Is he still getting in touch with his inner self?  How’s the viewership % doing lately?  I’m sure you’re knocking them dead.  It must be due to all that journalistic integrity I was talking about earlier.

Sincerely,
Chris Cirino
