Two U.S. Navy sailors were arrested on national security-related charges related to allegedly sending sensitive military information to the Chinese Communist Party, federal officials said on Thursday. “These individuals stand accused of violating the commitments they made to protect the United States and betraying the public trust, to the benefit of the [People’s Republic of China] government,” Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, said in a news release.U.S. Navy Sailor Jinchao Wei, an active-duty machinist’s mate on the amphibious U.S.S. Essex assault ship

How about a military court martial, followed by, if guilty, a firing squad?

USN sailors Jinchao Wei and Wenheng Zhao turned out to be ChiCom spies.....why that is SHOCKING! /s off I'm thinking that perhaps the names should have gotten them some extra tight scrutiny BEFORE they were allowed to sign up. Nah.....couldn't do that, that would be ray-siss, I'll bet.

Oooops, you mean to say that the vegetable is attempting to look 'busy' even while on vacation? On top of that making some sailors look as if they did something really bad with China? Right. This dementia corpse's handlers thought it would look good for the decaying vegetable.

So.... were these two born here, or are they Chinese imports? Not surprised that their allegiance is to China. Were they sent over as spies? This demonstrates the wisdom (although the Leftists squall) of interning the Japanese imports in WWII. Before the Pearl Harbor attack, there was a Japanese man who rode around Pearl Harbor on a bicycle and sent a report to the Japanese as to what ships were in harbor, I understand this was a day or two before the attack. I salute those of Japanese descent who volunteered to fight in the European theatre, but to just let all these people wander around, and staking the Nation's survival that not ONE of them would send critical information to our enemy Japan.... that's putting the nation at unnecessary risk. But.... NEVER FORGET.... and for some younger readers, dig in and learn about how Bill Clinton, the Horndog, transferred export control of the satellite-launching rocket guidance systems FROM the State department (which kept the system designs secure), TO the Commerce department, which readily agreed to sell the guidance systems to the ChiComs, so that the Chicoms could guide their rockets to launch satellites (and undercut US companies Boeing and Lockheed). But those guidance systems are the same ones, reprogrammed, that are used to guide ICBM's onto cities halfway across the world. At the same time, Clinton's Energy Department sponsored 'exchange scientists' with Communist China, and Chicom scientists were working at 'non-classified' parts of the Los Alamos lab, where our atomic warheads are designed. Then, Clinton's Energy Secretary, a black woman whose name I do not remember, toured the lab and raised a stink about the color-coded access badges, screaming that the color-coding was 'RACIST'. So, all the badges were remade to be the same color, which made it much easier for people to get into areas where they were not supposed to go. Sure enough, a year or two later, there were reports in the Media that the Chinese Communists had 'obtained' the designs for the W87 and W88 atomic warheads, the most advanced warheads in our atomic arsenal. So, the HornDog, (for a modest campaign contribution, of course) enabled the Chinese Communists to go from a country that could not guide a rocket, and could not put at atomic warhead on one, to a country that could put an ICBM precisely where they wanted to, and could arm that ICBM with a multiple-atomic-warhead payload. I recently read that China now has 1,000 ICBM's, each one with multiple atomic warheads, in silos and ready to launch. Gee, I wonder where they are programmed to explode? Thanks Bill! Thanks, Hillary! You have done MORE to put America in MORTAL DANGER than any other American in history!

Re #11....thank Nixon, who opened up China, prodded by huge globalist Henry Kissinger. The globalists set up China to be on the path to take down the USA, starting 50+ years ago. They have been working to that end, with China, ever since.

#12: You are correct. I remember cringing at the time, when Nixon opened the door to China, and immediately we began buying goods from China giving them the money they needed to build their economy and military. I knew at the time it was building up our enemy. Hard not to see it. I detest strongly Kissinger and the rest of the globalist evil doers.

We don’t know much about those two supposed US Navy sailors who are reportedly been identified as being naturalized U.S. Citizens. Most immigrants can apply for naturalized US Citizenship three to five years of permanent residence (being a green card holder). Following that administrative process is completed, and in this case they really could well be duel citizens or nationals who also hold citizenship in the People’s Republic of China. As today most immigrants to the USA who apply for naturalized U. S. Citizenship simply also retain their birth country citizenship. Usually those facts are simply ignored in the USA. In those instances the immigrants retain a travel document (passport) from their birth country along with a second U.S. passport that they use to come and go from the USA as they wish as a U.S. passport exempts them from the US immigration and visa laws. Once outside the USA those people will usually utilize their birth country passport as their primary travel document, especially to reenter and depart from their home country. There is the oath that immigrants are required to take during the application for naturalized US citizenship that says that they will give up all the foreign citizenships and foreign allegiances that they may have, but that is usually never enforced by the US Government until something like this one comes to light that the supposed naturalized US citizen is found to be a foreign spy. Just saying!

Nixon went to Chinar, but it was Bush I who served as the first informal ambassador circa 1975 and made sure his friends got in on the ground floor. And made sure China walked toward MFN status without any concessions on individual liberties or freedoms. China's infestation of DC and the federal government ran right through Kennebunkport since the mid 70s. As to these two guys, some leniency. Keelhauling. Preferably televised.

Dershowitz: Jack Smith Could be Indicted
for Fraud for Omitting Trump’s ‘Peaceful’ Statement

Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz says that under his own “fraud” standard, Special Counsel Jack Smith could be indicted for omitting a key portion of then-President Donald Trump’s speech in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021. The indictment charges Trump with four counts, including “conspiracy to defraud the United States.” But in a portion recounting Trump’s speech at the “Stop the Steal” rally, Smith repeats the errors made by House Democrats in Trump’s second impeachment trial: he focuses on Trump’s use of the phrase “fight like hell,” and omits a sentence highlighted by Trump’s defense team: “I know that everyone here will soon be marching

RFK, jr. and Trump's Achilles Heel 6 replies

History provides examples of third-party presidential candidates swinging elections. Ross Perot denied George H.W. Bush a second term in 1992, running on the Reform Party ticket and garnering 18.9% of the popular vote. Bill Clinton won with only 43.0%. In 1980, Congressman John Anderson ran an incoherent candidacy yet captured 6.6% of votes. Reagan prevailed over Carter 50.7% to 41.0%. It is unclear if Anderson’s bid was engineered by Reagan’s campaign to split votes from Carter. Teddy Roosevelt's 1912 third-party run split Republican votes, yielding Woodrow Wilson, the first progressive leftist president. Now comes RFK Jr. with a platform exhibiting substantial overlap with the MAGA agenda.

It turns out that Special Counsel Jack Smith either failed to review evidence that exonerates President Trump and Mayor Rudy Giuliani or he ignored the findings altogether. Tim Parlatore, the attorney for former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, told CBS News that Smith’s office has within thousands of pages of records turned over by Kerik that contains “exculpatory evidence.” The exact reason why Smith has not disclosed this critical information remains unclear.

During his arraignment on Thursday, Donald Trump was warned by Magistrate Judge Moxila A. Upadhyaya that he could be "held pending trial" if he violated the strict conditions of his release. The former president was allowed to return to his summer home in Bedminster, New Jersey, but only after agreeing to abide by the conditions agreed upon by prosecutors and the defense. Trump "must not violate federal or state laws; he must appear in court as required; he must sign an appearance bond; and he must not communicate about the facts of the case with anyone Trump knows to be a witness, except through counsel or in presence of counsel."

Special counsel Jack Smith made history on Tuesday. It wasn't just the federal indictment of a former president. Smith already did that in June with the indictment of Donald Trump on charges that he mishandled classified documents. No, Smith and his team have made history in the worst way by attempting to fully criminalize disinformation by seeking the incarceration for a politician on false claims made during and after an election. The hatred for Trump is so all-encompassing that legal experts on the political left have ignored the chilling implications of this indictment. This complaint is based largely on statements that are protected under the First Amendment.

So a Democratic Party operative has once again indicted Donald Trump on transparently foolish grounds. The result of the Democrats’ seeming obsession with Trump is that he continues to dominate headlines and suck up oxygen nearly three years after he lost the presidential race in 2020. This is truly extraordinary. Did Jimmy Carter dominate headlines in 1983, years after he was thrashed by Ronald Reagan? Was Walter Mondale a fixture in the press in 1987, after being clobbered by Reagan in 1984? Were the papers full of commentary on Michael Dukakis in 1991, three years after he was obliterated by George H.W. Bush? How about John McCain and Mitt Romney?

Now that Donald Trump has been indicted for using lies about the 2020 presidential election to seek to overturn its results, it’s become a matter of grave national concern that big majorities of Republicans apparently don’t think he was lying at all. A new CNN survey shows that 69 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents do not believe “Joe Biden legitimately won enough votes to win the presidency” in 2020. It’s worth asking what if anything might have convinced them to believe Biden’s win was legitimate, if only to establish what could happen differently in 2024 to avoid another contested Democratic win — if not an attack on the Capitol.
