As if the U.S. were not in bad enough shape militarily, China has a little surprise for us. Here's the buried news item from Politico's national security newsletter, dated Jan. 11: A “SURPRISE” IN THE PACIFIC: U.S. Indo-Pacific coordinator KURT CAMPBELL says the region could be in store for a “strategic surprise” — comments that Reuters’ DAVID BRUNNSTROM and KIRSTY NEEDHAM describe as “apparently referring to possible Chinese ambitions to establish Pacific-island bases.” “If you look and if you ask me, where are the places where we are most likely to see certain kinds of strategic surprise

But, Global Warming! Why would the Chinazis build or improve an airstrip on an island that is just barely above sea level if it will be gone in just a few decades? Where is the long-term strategy in that? It seems the Chinazis are less concerned about something they cannot control and more focused on that which they can control.

This is not surprising. There's a youtube station called "AdvChina" that's very interesting. There are two guys who've lived in China - one from South Africa and one from the US - and they rode around on motorcycles and recorded their experiences while - they both live in the States now but still comment on things going on in China. In one segment they brought up how China fishing boats go out to sea, not for weeks or months, but for years. They have resupply ships that allow them to get food and fuel while they empty their fishing catch. They've now made it into the waters of the Galapagos islands - pretty close to Ecuador. And in regular Chinese fashion, they go in, deplete everything, then move on. It's not surprising at all that their navy is expanding territorially into our neck of the woods.

I doubt that the White House and the Pentagon weren't aware of it. It's more likely that they were told to ignore it by their masters. Pray hard for the failure of traitors....and that's as polite as I can say what's on my mind.

Replaying the events of the 1920s and 30s with China now play the same part that Japan did a century ago. Developing a 'Greater Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere', much like before.

"Close to Hawaii"? Closer than the mainland, sure, but not by much. The location seems better suited to blocking American efforts to protect Australia or New Zealand from attack.

Every day we read about threats to our Safety. I don't think the Biden Administration knows anything! They're a bunch of Greenies who only worry about Climate Change, Wokeness, Gender Foolishness and other things that have nothing to do with running our country. I don't care how many people don't believe Trump won the last Election. They had better wake up and get on Board to put Trump back in the White House ASAP. I'm 80 years old. I don't remember ever being so frightened for our Country. We will NOT survive 3 more years of the Biden Administration! I think we can stop some of the horrors after the Midterms, but being on top of Threats to our country should be up to the President. Does ANYONE truly think that China would have made this move if Trump were President? I think he would have told them they have X amount of days to get the heck out of there or they would be blown to Bits! God Save Us!

The U.S. Army unveiled a plan this week to tackle issues surrounding climate change, including the establishment of an electric vehicle fleet, as well as the reduction of the branch's greenhouse gas emissions. The plan, outlined by the Army in a document titled "Climate Strategy," calls for the service to cut its emissions by 50% by 2030 from 2005 levels and reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The strategy aims to establish an "all-electric light-duty non-tactical vehicle fleet by 2027" and an "all-electric non-tactical vehicle fleet by 2035." "There are 950 renewable energy projects supplying 480 megawatts of power to the Army today … scoped and planned through 2024," the Army strategy stated.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) called on the U.S. to stand up to the "generational threat" posed by China while unveiling a major report on Beijing's "malign behavior" at the same time her husband's law firm was working on behalf of companies linked to China's military, intelligence, and security services. As Cheney stood at the podium, her husband Philip Perry’s law firm was cashing in on legal and lobbying work that his employer — Latham & Watkins (LW), one of the largest law firms in the world — was doing for a host of Chinese companies, some of which were involved in the kind of activity that Cheney was warning

It's been nearly a week since CNN's top executive, Jeff Zucker, got the boot, supposedly over a longtime affair with a subordinate, and the bawling through the ranks hasn't stopped. Here's how bad it is, according to website Puck, apparently an industry-insider blog, spotted by Ace at Ace of Spades: Five days after Jeff Zucker‘s dramatic and still-stunning ouster from CNN, network insiders remain vexed by WarnerMedia C.E.O. Jason Kilar‘s refusal to elaborate about the circumstances that led to their former leader’s resignation. On Monday morning, Kilar held yet another Q&A session with CNN’s top producers and on-air talent in New York—this time over video conference,

TIJUANA, Mexico — About a hundred members of the police, National Guard and army on Sunday evicted 381 migrants, mainly Central Americans and Mexicans, from a makeshift camp they had been staying in for almost a year in Tijuana at the U.S. border crossing. The migrants’ tents around El Chaparral crossing were demolished with the help of excavators and trucks while their inhabitants loaded their few belongings into bags and suitcases to be transferred to three local shelters. “It was a relocation that had to be carried out carefully to avoid a collapse,” Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero Ramírez told reporters, saying the families were living in a state of “insecurity”

A woman fell to her death Sunday afternoon from the Royal Park Bridge connecting Palm Beach to downtown West Palm Beach when the drawbridge began opening before she could move off its moveable span, police said. West Palm Beach police say the woman was walking off the bridge with a bicycle and was within 10 feet of the barrier arms that halt traffic when the drawbridge started to rise, sending her careening into an open chasm. A man standing on the other side of the barrier arms grabbed her as she fell but could not sustain her grip, police said. She plummeted more than 50 feet.

For a while there, the far-left Canadian government contented itself with deplatforming and defunding the striking Canadian truckers who are in Ottawa protesting the country's vaccine mandate. That didn't work, so now they've gotten worse.

Germany, as we well know with its Russian gas capers, is a highly industrialized society in need of a lot of energy. Fine and dandy. But how they get it presents increasingly bad options. They got rid of their nuclear power in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear meltdown after a big earthquake in Japan, (despite Germany not being in a quake zone), driving themselves to dependency on foreign suppliers. That's presented problems for them what with Russia filling that role, so their other recourse has been the one Joe Biden is touting for America: Green energy -- like wind and solar power. It's costly, requiring state subsidization,

In a statement that also indicated she would be “retiring from Twitter,” the Crazy Rich Asians and Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings star denies that her use of AAVE, or African American Vernacular English, as well as her “blaccent” — a voice that stereotypically imitates forms of Black American dialect — were meant to mock Black people. Early in her message, the actress acknowledged the sociopolitical and “historical context of the African American community”

After Joe Biden, Tony Blinken and other Biden administration officials blithely assured that the number of Americans left behind in Afghanistan after the chaotic U.S. pullout was miniscule, just a minor rounding error, Congress has come up with a more accurate figure. According to the Daily Caller: As many as 9,000 American citizens were left in Afghanistan when the U.S. military withdrew from the country Aug. 31, according to a report released Thursday by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. In public statements, Biden administration officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, claimed that only 100-150 Americans remained in Afghanistan and had contacted the U.S. government with a desire to leave.

The Biden administration is putting out new details on its effort to create 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations–with new efforts to push out funds to have them line interstates at 50-mile intervals. The administration is awarding $5 billion over five years to states to have them build thousands of electric vehicle charging stations. Another $2.5 billion will go out in grants to be decided later. It all comes from the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan that was enacted late last year and that the administration continues to sell, amid the collapse of Biden's Build Back Better plan. The charging stations would work with all electric vehicles

Atlanta—A federal cybersecurity agency is reviewing a report that alleges security vulnerabilities in voting machines used by Georgia and other states and says the document shouldn’t be made public until the agency has had time to assess and mitigate potential risks. The report has been under seal since July in federal court in Atlanta, part of a long-running lawsuit challenging Georgia’s voting machines. Its author, J. Alex Halderman, said in sworn declarations filed publicly with the court that he examined the Dominion Voting Systems machines for 12 weeks and identified “multiple severe security flaws” that would allow bad actors to install malicious software.
