on the US

China is actively preparing for war against the United States. The signs are obvious and ominous. During the Biden regime, we saw the first signs of it. The Chinese began a campaign of "elite capture" in the Western Pacific, quietly buying legislators until they controlled the parliaments of at least eight nations and then negotiating defense agreements, that, in the case of the Solomon Islands, gives China the right to deploy troops there to put down civil unrest; see China Seeks to Buy Eight Pacific Island Nations While Joe Biden and His State Department Are Comatose – RedState. Part of this was undoubtedly due to Joe being afraid to upset Xi

The Trump Administration is playing catch-up after FJB’s dereliction of duty. The State Department is still full of traitors Marco Rubio is working on it, but there are only so many hours in a day Also, the military has to communicate with the State Department to get all Chinese nationals out of the US post/haste! Apparently, the Chinese see the vast open spaces in the US as living room for their teeming masses. Unfortunately, if it comes to a shooting war, the DemoRods will probably side with the Chinese. 🙁

China is a paper tiger. I always marvel at their military’s audacity in posting videos of their “crack” Top Gun style pilot flying their alleged “Sixth Generation” stealth fighter aircraft. It looks like a poor mock-up made from balsa wood (and possibly bamboo), and the pilot’s actions, while flying, looks more like he learned his fighter pilot skills from playing virtual reality video games. With that said, China is also one gigantic environmental disaster needing only a tiny pinprick to set in motion. They have more hydro dams than almost any country, except Norway. After seeing America’s surgical destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities, without our aircraft even being detected, one would think dangerous rhetoric and hyperbole would be the last things on their billions of minds. The best thing for China to do is to tread lightly when threatening their closest enemies, before it’s too late.

I'll just say this - Secretary Hegseth having delivered his marching orders to our military brass the other day had everything to do with optics. Not just to get our generals and senior officers to shape up or ship out. The message to Xi and his chicom buddies - over here, peace by strength and preemptive preparation of our own.

Their only successful action against the US in the last decade, that laughable spy balloon caper, was done with the help of the Biden administration. Donald Trump would have flown his own plane up to it and stuck it with a pin. China is nothing more than a more polished version of North Korea.

In Nashua, NH, this month, the Chinese government. just bought a warehouse for 4 times the asking price, they say to " bottle water." Our Governor was unaware of the purchase until after the fact. But she immediately signed a law that no land or buildings can be sold to the Chinese, Russians or Iran. She said that they will monitor the building in Nashua since the purchase went through.

China has established their own illegal immigration networks into the US, not just the southern border but through Canada and Alaska. There are estimates of a million plus were brought in during the Biden administration alone. Of the 55 million US Visa holders China is the 3rd largest immigration group, and no one leaves China without the governments permission, thus all can be considered agents of a hostile government. So they have a multi-million man standing army in the US, just let that sink in for a moment.

Meanwhile on the home front: refuse to buy anything made in Red China. That means, for example, the shoes and clothing made there and sold in Macy's. Your dollars spent on such items fund Red China's military build-up.

Time is on China’s side, as it looks like all they have to do is wait for the next leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrat administration to be elected in the USA for their military offensives to be successful in the Western Pacific. Can you see an Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez or a Jasmine Crocker type successfully taking on China to stop their military actions? By that time the Democrats will most likely start returning the US military to a “woke” status, and will commence allowing military age illegal aliens, including Chinese origin illegal aliens, to flood into the US military in return for granting them US citizenship. In addition when that starts to occur, look for the Democrat “open borders” and “catch and release” political agenda items to be reinstated thus allowing unlimited millions of future illegal aliens to again gain entry to the USA and to transform the illegal alien population into future leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrat supporters and voters, thus keeping the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats in permanent political power able to transform the USA into some sort of socialist utopia.

Yeah, I'm not losing too much sleep over this. Their super-fancy aircraft carrier catches fire every time they start the engines up. It's rusting away as well. Their air defense systems are jokes, as Pakistan and Iran found out. The personnel carriers they provided to Russia were golf carts painted camo that broke down immediately. They recently crashed two of their own ships, and the front of one crumbled like wet paper. Their latest sub sank on its maiden voyage, and not in the way subs are meant to sink. Chinese troops drop their weapons when fired upon and run away - they did it when clashing with Indian troops and when China tried to send troops to UN peace keeping missions. Dressing up your excess males in uniforms is not the same as having an effective military.

Meanwhile the quiet Chinese invasion of NYC is made possible by chicom banks giving 150 year term mortgages which obviously helps Chinese buyers pay extremely high prices that Americans can't afford with 30 year loans.

Yes. China has been planning on a war with the USA for 30+ years. And WE KEEP FUNDING IT by trading with them and buying two thirds of everything from China. I try very hard to not purchase anything made in China. For some things it is buy from China or do without. I often do without, but some things are just needed, and there are no other sources. Example: I had to replace the rollers on my sliding glass door to the patio, necessary before winter or lose the use of the back door to the house. The replacement rollers are available ONLY via one source, and they are made in China. There are no competitors that are found in an extensive internet search. I hate buying anything from China, we need to increase tariffs even higher to force manufacturers to move out of China, find alternate sources. How will we function in a war with so much coming from our enemy? Trump is trying, but he gets massive resistance.

It took only 19 hijackers to take down the Twin Towers. Imagine the damage thousands of unattached Chinese males coming across our border over the past four years can do. Start with a thousand licensed big rig drivers creating gridlock on the freeways. And why purchase farm land next to military bases? Are any Chinese owners farming? Or are they stocking subterranean caches of surface-to-air missiles delivered by big rigs? And what of the storage of hundreds of thousands of SIM cards capable of disabling cell towers? The Chinese will not need to match navies and bombers if they have tens of thousands of unidentified troops strategically placed in our homeland.

For months, Donald Trump warned New Yorkers against electing Zohran Mamdani as mayor, referring to him as a “communist lunatic.” Mamdani, meanwhile, called Trump a “despot.” All of that was put aside in an extraordinary Oval Office get-together Friday, the first face-to-face meeting between the two men. Trump, who sought to kneecap Mamdani during the campaign, was exceedingly complimentary of the self-described democratic socialist, while Mamdani repeatedly talked up his hope that he and the president could work together to lower costs for New Yorkers. “I met with a man who’s a very rational person,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office following the private

The U.N. climate talks COP30 were hastily evacuated Thursday night due to a fire breaking out inside the venue in Belém, Brazil. Smoke, flames, and a rise in temperature engulfed the pavilion area as panicked attendees rushed outside to be met by fire crews entering the stricken zone. Reuters reports security footage showed flames spreading rapidly up an internal fabric shell that lined the walls and ceiling of the building before being extinguished. Thirteen people were treated for smoke inhalation at the venue, organizers said, as thousands of delegates were evacuated as security staff formed a human barrier across the hallway.

House Democratic leaders, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, contacted the U.S. Capitol Police and the House sergeant-at-arms to request protection for four representatives who appeared in a video message encouraging military troops to defy orders from their superiors that they deem illegal. Reps. Chris Deluzio (PA-17), Chrissy Houlahan (PA-6), Maggie Goodlander (NH-2), and Jason Crow (CO-6), along with Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), tried agitating some troops and intelligence officials into potentially illegal actions of their own by defying orders they personally interpret as unlawful.

Male inmates at an all-female prison in Fort Worth, Texas, are temporarily restricted from entering or using female-only private areas, a judge decided this week. It is the first time a federal court has ruled that male inmates must be sex-segregated in women’s prisons. The Federal Medical Center, Carswell is a formerly women-only prison in Texas that currently houses several men who identify as women. FMC Carswell recently housed dozens of people who identify as trans or intersex, according to a federal report. Female inmates have for years petitioned the state to separate trans-identifying men from women’s private spaces.

Since 2022, voters have been divided about which party’s candidate they would support.” This, even though those polled “place most of the blame for the shutdown on congressional Democrats.” Still, “six in ten [blame] either the President or the GOP in Congress.”

Yesterday we learned that a three judge panel had ruled 2-1 that Texas would not be allowed to use newly drawn maps in the midterm elections. U.S. District Judge Jeffrey V. Brown, who is a Trump appointee, joined U.S. District Judge David Guaderrama, an Obama appointee, to demand the state return to its previously drawn maps. The core of their ruling was that the goal of the redistricting was not partisan political advantage, but racial gerrymandering. The state had argued that the entire redistricting process was based on a partisan goal, which the U.S. Supreme Court has previously said courts cannot intervene to prevent. But the plaintiffs pointed to a letter
