e-mail 32 shares 5 View comments Texas ranchers are on the brink of booting out a Chinese billionaire who has bought more than 130,000 acres of farmland in the state, sparking fears over national security, DailyMail.com can reveal. Sun Guangxin, who has extensive ties with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), paid an estimated $110million for swathes of Texan real estate between 2016 and 2018 in an unprecedented foreign land grab in the Lone Star State. But DailyMail.com understands he has now sold the most controversial part of his portfolio, a 15,000-acre ranch that included plans for a 46-turbine wind farm, and is planning to offload the rest of his vast Texan empire

Yay! Yay!! Now that the proposed wind farm part is seemingly (?) taken care of - let’s cheer on these Val Verde ranchers so that Sun will offload all the rest of the property. David Frankens the good ole boy who did this should be shamed right out of the county!!!! I would never do business with him or anything he owns!! Woo woo! This kind of courage needs to come out of Governor Abbott’s office!! Thank You Lord for these ranchers! God Bless Texas!!

With the controversy surrounding Hunter Biden and hints of bribery of his father, now President, it would be unwise for them to step into the picture on behalf of their Chinese benefactors. For the moment Chinese land buyers in Texas have been stymied. It continues in other states.

Why did Abbott step up to the plate? Where's Congress? They're the ones who should prohibit China from buying agricultural land. Is it Joey wanting to make more clandestine money by doing the Chinese a favor again?

Are you joking, DMUK? The Chinese have backdoor access to the White House, probably front door by now. This country will be covered with windmills when they are finished and all of the power will be piped to China and other communist schiffholes like Cuba and Venezuela when they develop that technology. They could never touch us in a real war but their Trojan Horse is working perfectly.

Well #5, Abbott proposed the original Texas Senate Bill #147. It all sounded good but in Spring 2023, by time many Texas Senators, and Asian-American groups finished criticizing it as too harsh what passed was such a watered-down version that Texas land can still be purchased by China. They will easily go through the big loopholes. I recommend the Texas Tribune summary of what happened to the bill.

I don’t trust this crew as far as I can spit; however, this has the potential to be an inflection point. But we need to watch carefully. In an interview with the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp says he will support Donald Trump if he is the victorious nominee from the GOP primary contest. Suspicious cat remains, well, suspicious. “Despite all of that, despite all of his other trials and tribulations, [Trump] would still be a lot better than Biden. And the people serving in the administration would be a lot better than Joe Biden. And it has nothing to do with being a coward.

A rumor spread last month suggesting that 14 cities in the United States are planning to ban meat. The news, which made its rounds mostly on conservative news websites, was that by 2030, the cities seek to achieve zero consumption of meat, zero consumption of dairy, three new clothing items per person each year, zero private vehicle ownership, and one short return airline flight per person every three years. Close to 100 cities globally have already signed onto the deal. In the United States, this includes Austin, Boston,(snip) the cities aren’t planning to ban meat outright.

In 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a task force to explore reparations for chattel slavery. Recent polling suggests, however, that even most Californians are opposed to cash payments to descendants of enslaved people. Reparations just aren’t a very American idea—they clash with our commitments to individual responsibility and equal opportunity rather than equal outcomes. In 1865, the anti-slavery leader Frederick Douglass gave a speech denouncing what we might now call “reparations.” “And if the negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall.” he said. “All I ask is give him a fair chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone!”

Former prosecutors and other legal experts said that former President Donald Trump could have an edge in his classified documents case—as the case is slated to be tried in a Florida district that favors Republicans. A federal court based in Florida is expected to draw its jury pool from a conservative-leaning area of the Sunshine State that mostly supported the former president during the 2020 election, officials said. The Fort Pierce district in which members of the jury would be selected includes St. Lucie, Martin, Indian River, Okeechobee, and Highlands counties. President Trump won all of those counties in 2020, and notably, he got 71.8 percent of the vote in Okeechobee County,

That said, what Ms Spartz notes in her comments and questioning of Attorney General Merrick Garland is very accurate. Representative Spartz puts the context of the citizen fear of the soviet era KGB into the context of American fear of the weaponized DOJ. “People are scared of our government,” she outlines. The comparison is accurate in context and history.

Average Americans are finding homes and cars increasingly unaffordable as inflation from high government spending raises prices and degrades purchasing power. Half of consumers are being priced out of the car market as the cost of a monthly car loan payment is far exceeding what an average American can afford, while the home affordability index has fallen from a 169.9 point average in 2020 to 87.8 points as of July, according to the National Association of Realtors. One key driver of the rising expenses is inflation, which peaked at 9.1% in June 2022 and is linked to high government spending under the Biden administration,
