Ties To China

One of America’s major national security threats is the cozy relationship between many American corporations and the Chinese government. Microsoft is one of the worst offenders in this regard, as proven by a new report released last week. It adds to the growing evidence that the tech giant is far too close with America’s chief geopolitical foe to be trusted with handling critical infrastructure. The report, compiled by Nathan Picarsic of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and Horizon Advisory, reveals a disturbing picture about the tech giant. “Over three decades, the company has built a vast commercial, research, and engineering presence in China,

I turn off all access to "the cloud", but worry about what China has access to my information through using Microsoft word and excel. I back up my computer to a hard drive monthly and take it to the safe deposit box. The one thing I allow for my convenience is my contacts and icalendar on my iphone. "The cloud" is not to be trusted.

Good judgement, #1. Nobody knows where the cloud is. A traitor and a pedophile can't be trusted with anything.

Microsoft's international activities are menacing in other ways as well. Lisa Monaco, who as Deputy Attorney General spearheaded the "Biden" administration's lawfare and censorship campaigns, is Microsoft's President of Global Affairs and is likely working with America's left-authoritarian adversaries UK, EU, UN, France, and Germany to impose the "Biden" censorship agenda on US tech firms and Internet platforms.

It's not just Microsoft. Corporations want to do business in China. China says 'OK', but here are some things you must do for us in return. First, move some/all of your product manufacturing and development to China. Second, support Chinese political interests. If the corporation sets up a business in China, they realize it has to be separate from the rest of the corporation because business is state run in China. China becomes their 'partner' whether the corporation wants one or not. It's bad business. One thing that happens is the company ends up sharing all their technology with China. China starts another corporation all their own with that technology undercutting their partner. They do this when they cannot control the corporation they are working with. Corporation cannot do business in China because China stole their technology and sells it at a fraction of the price. They pull out. Only way for a corporation to do business in China is to be completely in bed with their government. The corporation basically sells its soul.

This should worry a lot of people since MS Windows is the OS in almost all computers. So far, no good alternative exists. Maybe some tech company will come up with a replacement that's easy to use and install for the average user. Getting by the MS patents will be extremely difficult but we need some choice. Those of us here can wonder exactly what is being monitored. I realize that most of us aren't in any danger but maybe in the future sites like these and our political posts will draw China's interest.

Never used the cloud, extended windows10 security for free. I've used Amiga OS, Mac OS, and windows. Next and last OS will be some form of Linux, when I get the time to try that on my older windows 7 setup. Or just draw occasionally and read more books. The internet is already full of AI slop, and that will only get worse.

Anyone who has been anticipating an announcement from the U.S. military about potential permanent fallout for former servicemembers or intelligence agency staffers over the release of that "illegal orders" video by six now-national Democrat lawmakers could be one step closer to hearing some news. As many RedState readers know, among the lawmakers was Arizona's senior senator, Mark Kelly, and it was Kelly whom the Pentagon singled out for a review for "serious allegations of misconduct.” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered the Navy through a memorandum in late Nov. to take a long look into it, and submit a report with their findings/recommended actions.

One of the biggest whoppers Democrats told during the Schumer Shutdown was that they were not fighting for taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegals as part of the demands they wanted to be met to end the shutdown. Federal law prohibits the use of Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and the Affordable Care Act to provide health insurance in any way, shape, or form to undocumented immigrants—period, full stop. Democrats aren’t trying to change that," Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) proclaimed at the time. Though that is exactly what Jeffries and his fellow Democrats were trying to do,

The National Consumers League is America’s oldest consumer advocacy organization and a group trusted by the left, especially, to stand up for consumers’ interests. But according to a review of its tax filings by the Washington Examiner, it has also become part of a web of astroturf groups shilling for the corporate interests of PhRMA, the massive drugmaker trade association that operates in Washington, DC, which donated close to $1 million to it just last year. The organization’s 2024 tax form, which became available a few days ago, shows that the non-profit spent close to $600 million last year advocating for Big Pharma’s financial interests and policy agenda in Washington, DC,

Minnesota is now facing one of the largest documented government service fraud scandals in United States history. Under Gov. Tim Walz's evidently unwatchful eye, federal prosecutors have estimated that approximately $1 billion in taxpayer funds have been siphoned from multiple state- and federally funded social service programs over the last five years. As of this writing, 87 individuals have been charged in connection with the scheme, with 61 convictions already secured and more charges continuing to be filed against these fraudsters. The bulk of the fraud scheme centers around two government programs.

Taking a very significant step to be in alignment with President Trump’s North American trade bloc construct, Mexico has passed a sweeping set of tariffs against Chinese imports. The motive for the move by President Claudia Sheinbaum and her political party, Morena, which controls both legislative chambers is clear. Mexico is moving into direct alignment with President Trump as the likelihood for the end of the current USMCA trade agreement looms. President Trump has sent clear signals expressing his intent to dissolve the USMCA trade agreement in favor of two bilateral agreements, one with Mexico and one with Canada. The Mexican government led by Sheinbaum -

“Somali Immigrants Are Revitalizing Main Street America,” NBC News claimed. A barrage of similar stories hailed Somalis and other Muslim migrants for ‘transforming’ Middle America. After President Trump’s criticism of Somali abuse, triggered by reporting of massive $1B plus frauds conducted by the David Horowitz Freedom Center and other conservative media outlets, the media has rushed out more of these same stories about Somali accomplishments. But let’s look at some of the facts. Somalis are the second largest foreign-born population in Minnesota after Mexicans. 42% of Somalis fall below the poverty line. This is far worse than the 21% poverty rate for African-Americans or any Christian African immigrant population -

The Trump-McMahon Department of Education (DOE) has moved to end the last of the Biden administration’s large-scale, illegal federal student loan bailout programs. DOE announced its agreement with Missouri to end the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) Plan, which was set to cost taxpayers almost $350 billion in a decade’s time. The Dec. 9 press release celebrated the move as being not only a win for taxpayers, but necessary clarity for borrowers duped by extravagant and unrealistic Democrat promises.

The United States military pressure on Venezuela's illegitimate president, Nicolás Maduro, which we've witnessed over the last few months, continues. While speaking to the press on Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that we have seized a large oil tanker off the country's coast. It's been an interesting day from the standpoint of news," the president said while meeting with business leaders at the White House. "As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela — a large tanker, very large, the largest one ever seized actually." He added that "other things are happening" and that we will learn more about that later.

In November, the Daily Sceptic reported that a policeman had told a Christian preacher that some words painted on his van “could be seen as hate speech in the wrong context”. The words were a Biblical verse: Chapter 3, verse 16 of the Gospel according to John, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.” Of course, the Free Speech Union observed that for such words to be prohibited or penalised would violate free speech, and that if a police officer is even suggesting they might be,

Here we go again: the sun rises, another federal judge kneecaps the Trump agenda. In this latest ruling, issued Monday, a Bill Clinton-appointed jurist decided that Trump hasn’t explained himself enough and “failed to justify” his decision to put a halt to the wind project madness that has swept the country. Sometimes I wish the president would just say, “I got 77 million votes, you didn’t — that’s my justification. Buzz off.” Of course, he can’t do that: On Trump’s first day in office (January 20), he issued an executive order titled “Temporary Withdrawal of All Areas on the Outer Continental Shelf from Offshore Wind Leasing -

Last week, I told you how about how Hugo “El Pollo” Carvajal Barrios, an ex-military intelligence officer for the Venezuelan regime, who was a powerful official within Nicolás Maduro's Cartel de los Soles, wrote Donald Trump a letter. As of Monday evening, another former Maduro insider has come forward with a similar letter, which was also provided to the Dallas Express. Former Major General Cliver Antonio Alcalá Cordones was a high-ranking commander in Venezuela’s armed forces who served under Hugo Chávez, and at one point in time he was more powerful than even Maduro within the Chávez government.

Sure, Rachel. Sure. Maddow, now hosting on MS NOW (the rebranded MSNBC), recently appeared on the At Our Table podcast with former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison. At one point during the interview, the conversation turned to Kamala and her nationwide book tour promoting 107 Days. What followed was Maddow's attempt to explain away Kamala’s consistently horrible public appearances by insisting there's a secret, superior version of the former vice president that only a select few

President Trump on Thursday granted Tina Peters a full pardon. Tina, a Gold Star Mother who is in poor health, is now serving nine years in a Colorado state prison for challenging the 2020 elections. The left wants her dead. Tina Peters has been found guilty on state charges and is serving time in a state prison, so the presidential pardon will not result in her immediate release. Last week, a magistrate judge dismissed Tina Peter’s habeas corpus petition seeking an early release from prison. President Trump’s close friend, former schoolmate, and attorney, Peter Ticktin, recently wrote in a letter that Tina Peters has been attacked three times by other inmates.

In hindsight, Black Lives Matter was simply a race hustling shakedown to fatten the pockets of its leadership. BLM co-founder Patrice Cullors resigned in 2021 over accusations of misspending the group’s donations on multimillion dollar properties including a mansion in Toronto, Canada as the New York Post reported. Cullors is now joined by another prominent name from BLM Oklahoma City, 52-year-old Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson. The executive director of BLMOKC has been charged with wire fraud and money laundering as reported by KWTV-DT.

Macy’s Herald Square is where I took my kids to sit on Santa’s lap when they were little. So did scores of other moms, often with infants in tow. The toy department decorations are a Winter Wonderland for little kids. That’s why countless families, New Yorkers and tourists alike, have sparkly memories and the pictures to go with them from the “Miracle on 34th Street” store. Anyone who has stood on line for Santa with kids in strollers or a baby in a carrier felt extra horrified to hear that a mom changing her infant daughter’s diaper was stabbed multiple times by a mentally ill homeless person in the rest room at Macy’s.

Noa, who Palestinian terrorists abducted from a kibbutz on October 7, 2023, was taken to Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital after sustaining minor ‘non-life-threatening’ injuries. Weeks after her abduction, and with Israeli troops advancing in the area, a Palestinian doctor “injected air into her vein,” Noa’s father said.

The bail fund was also supplemented by grants through the Community Justice Exchange, Massachusetts Bail Fund, and Minnesota Freedom Fund.

It's been interesting to watch how the intensifying throes of Trump Derangement Syndrome manifest themselves in various Democrats. Even more interesting is the fact that they see these symptoms as features, not bugs. Sad, sad little creatures. The Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media have made it clear that their plan to win back voters who abandoned them last year involves only resistance to President Trump. No policy. No coherent sales pitches. Just tantrums. I should clarify: The Democrats aren't offering any policy ideas to attract American citizens who vote. They're working overtime crafting policy designed to make the lives of

The Indiana senate rejected Thursday the Trump-backed congressional gerrymander designed to allow Republicans to capture two more House seats in what is expected to be a difficult 2026 midterm cycle. In a 19 – 31 vote, Indiana’s upper chamber shot down the House-passed gerrymander, a major defeat for President Trump given the extraordinary months-long pressure campaign he waged in favor of the new map. Hoosier state senate Republicans were deeply divided on the redistricting effort, despite national pressure to get it done.
