Were You Pushed Into Taking The Jab?

 

Loose-hearted lady, sleepy was she

Love for the devil brought her to me

Seeds of a thousand drawn to her sin

Seasons of wither holding me in

Oh woe is me, I feel so badly for you

Oh woe is me, I feel so sadly for you in time

Bound to lose your mind

Live on borrowed time

Take the wind right out of your sail

Top Republicans Press State Department on Security Risks Posed by Chinese Cloud Services

Republicans Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Rep. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin sent a letter to the State Department warning of the security risks posed by foreign governments’ use of cloud services provided by Chinese technology company Huawei.

The letter, addressed to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, expressed concerns regarding over 70 foreign governments’ and state-backed companies’ use of Huawei’s cloud infrastructure, which the lawmakers argued could be used by the Chinese government to spy on foreign countries.

“If allowed to proliferate, Huawei’s cloud services could give the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) similar access to additional governments, companies, and other important institutions, delivering Beijing a distinct information advantage,” Cotton and Gallagher wrote.

The lawmakers cited Huawei’s e-Government Cloud, a package of services that help governments process sensitive information and manage elections, identification systems, tax services, and other functions as potentially exposing “Huawei’s clients to the prying eyes of the CCP.” The lawmakers argued this would put the entire political structure of a country using Huawei’s services in China’s “crosshairs.”

Huawei was previously found to have been helping African countries such as Uganda and Zambia spy on political opponents. The Federal Communications Commission labeled the Chinese technology company a national security threat in June 2020, banning Huawei from receiving agency funds, while the Department of Justice in January 2019 charged the company’s Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou with several counts of fraud.

Cotton and Gallagher also argued foreign governments’ use of Huawei cloud infrastructure threatened American citizens and enterprises.

“This threat could manifest itself in the CCP’s access to the personal data of visiting U.S. citizens, service members, business persons, and diplomats,” the lawmakers wrote. “Such an outcome could severely disadvantage U.S. diplomatic, intelligence, and economic efforts and must be...

Global Supply-Chain Woes May Imperil More Than Christmas Shopping

A global shipping crisis has been quietly brewing for months. Soon it will lead to layoffs, higher prices and fewer options at the grocery store. In time, it could threaten our nation’s security.

Vice President Kamala Harris caught a glimpse of the unfolding problem during her recent swing through Asia. In Singapore, a global hub for maritime trade, she learned that congestion at its piers was causing shipping companies to bypass the port.

What the Vice President saw in Singapore and other ports in Vietnam and China critical to global supply chains is a product of COVID. The Chinese port of Ningbo, the world's third-largest, was closed for two weeks in August by authorities over a single COVID case.

In Singapore, Harris commented that the shipping backlogs might make it hard for Christmas shoppers to have gifts on time. But the challenges are weightier than that. Our national security apparatus maintains lean inventories and relies on just-in-time manufacturing and delivery—often from overseas suppliers— to replenish their stocks. Shipping delays can create serious vulnerabilities.

The slowdown is already hitting home. In Los Angles, a key port for U.S. trade with Asia, historic shipping backlogs have resulted in a horizon full of ships at anchor waiting to enter port. The backlog is even impacting mid-west rail service and causing delays in air freight at major air hubs. For trade in perishables like fruit, delays are a deal killer; as winter approaches, consumers will find less fruit at the grocers.

The causes of these logjams are complex.


The COVID pandemic has hit global shipping and manufacturers with labor shortages for 20 months now. This problem was compounded when a large container ship grounded in the Suez Canal, blocking the waterway for six days. The cascading effects of these misadventures have created delays that will take months if not longer, to resolve.

These delays are compounding the backlogs by driving a shortage of shipping containers as ships wait at anchor to offload and reload. Container ships carry 13% of global trade by volume, accounting for 11% of global trade value. Shippers want cargo in standard containers, driving producers to look for replacements as too many are...

The Death of Dignity

We’re far from the republic of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison . . . and we’re heading in the wrong direction.

At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, the most shameless, undignified people ever to exist on planet Earth have overrun America’s influential institutions, only to drive them into the ground with reckless abandon.

Take MSNBC’s Joy Reid, for example. She’s a wholly unremarkable person whose only skill is turning every topic on her “news” show into a racial issue.

This week, she informed us that America’s fixation on the case of Gabby Petito, a missing Florida woman, is a case of “Missing White Woman Syndrome,” a disease not recognized by any scientific publication. If MSNBC hired Al Sharpton (another person who turned his adroit race-baiting into a career) to replace Joy Reid, he could not hold a candle to her relentless, nightly masterclass in ginning up racial hatred.


The most honest work Joy Reid has ever published was her early 2000s “Reid Report” blog, where she constantly displayed her hatred for the gay community. When those posts resurfaced in 2018, she denied writing them—which was a lie_and led the FBI on a witch hunt to investigate potential “hacking” of her online material. Later, she copped to her lie and admitted that she wrote the posts, but maintained that, “I genuinely do not believe that I wrote those hateful things, because they are completely alien to me,” which, of course, was another lie. She knows exactly when, how, and why she wrote those posts, and the whole “I’m a changed woman now” bit rang completely hollow.

After all of that, MSNBC promoted her from hosting a weekend morning show to primetime. That’s American meritocracy at work.

General Mark Milley, the drunk-driving, Communist Chinese-sympathizing practitioner of critical race theory, who also as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, happens to be America’s most senior military official, recently burst onto the scene as another perfect example of America’s long-lost dignity.

The man is an utter buffoon.

When he’s not conspiring with our Communist enemies abroad, he spends his days conspiring with America’s domestic Communist enemies, implementing their playbook for...

Biden Pushing For Dishonorable Discharges, Court Martials For Troops Who Refuse Vaccines

White House claims anything but dishonorable discharge for refusing vaccines would “detract from readiness and limit a commander’s options for enforcing good order and discipline.”

The Biden administration is pushing for dishonorable discharges and even court martialing for troops who disobey orders to get COVID vaccines.

GOP Representative Mark Green of Tennessee proposed an amendment this week to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would prohibit “any discharge but honorable” for troops who refuse vaccines.

The White House responded with a statement noting “The Administration strongly opposes section 716,” reasoning that it would “detract from readiness and limit a commander’s options for enforcing good order and discipline when a Service member fails to obey a lawful order to receive a vaccination.”

The statement added “To enable a uniformed force to fight with discipline, commanders must have the ability to give orders and take appropriate disciplinary measures.”

Responding to the statement, Rep. Green said “I am appalled that the Biden Administration is trying to remove my amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that prevents anything but an honorable discharge for service members who refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccine.”

Green added “This was a bipartisan amendment — every Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee agreed to it.”

“No American who raises their hand to serve our Nation should be punished for making a highly personal medical decision,” Green previously urged.

Another section of the bill, 720, proposes that troops who have previously had COVID-19 should be exempted from a vaccine mandate. The Biden administration also opposes it, claiming it creates “a new and overly broad exemption from the vaccination requirement for previous infection that would undermine the...

Two Afghans Brought to U.S. Charged with Child Sex Crimes, Strangling Wife While Living on WI Military Base

Two Afghan men, brought to the United States as part of President Joe Biden’s massive resettlement operation out of Afghanistan, have been charged with child sex crimes and domestic abuse while temporarily living at Fort McCoy in Wisconsin.

On Wednesday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced federal charges against Afghans Bahrullah Noori, 20-years-old, and Mohammad Haroon Imaad, 32-years-old.

According to prosecutors, Noori is accused of trying to forcefully engage in sexual acts with a minor while temporarily living at Fort McCoy since being brought to the U.S. with tens of thousands of other Afghans. Noori has also been charged with three counts of engaging in a sexual act with a minor and one count alleging the use of force.

An indictment against Noori states that his victims were under the age of 16 and were at least four years younger than him.

In a separate incident, Imaad is accused by prosecutors of strangling and suffocating his wife while temporarily living at Fort McCoy after arriving in the U.S. from Afghanistan. The alleged assault apparently took place on September 7.

Both Noori and Imaad appeared in court in Madison, Wisconsin, on September 16 to face the charges against them and are currently being detained at the Dane County Jail. Their immigration statuses, whether they arrived as refugees, Special Immigrant Visa-holders (SIVs), P-2 visa-holders, or parolees remains unclear.

Noori is facing a mandatory minimum of 30 years in prison and a maximum sentence of...

Violent Haitian Aliens Attack and Bite ICE Officers While Aboard Deportation Flight...

Haitian illegal aliens being deported back to their home bit Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers on a flight bound for Port-au-Prince from Laughlin Air Force Base in Texas, according to the Washington Examiner.

The Monday incident saw two Haitian aliens leave their seats as the aircraft taxied to the runway and attack ICE agents by biting them, forcing takeoff to be delayed, the report said.

Federal assault charges will be brought against the two Haitian attackers, the Examiner reported.

“[The Haitians] all realized they were going back to Haiti and lost it,” a senior federal law enforcement officer told the newspaper.

Last month, Haiti was hit by a powerful earthquake resulting in thousands of deaths.

The devastating temblor came just weeks after the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse.

A second deportation flight was reported canceled by the U.S. government because Haitian migrants on board were “being disruptive and not complying” while the plane was on the tarmac, the Examiner reported.

Meanwhile, in another incident, three ICE officers were injured during a Tuesday assault at the Port-au-Prince airport when a group from a plane carrying single adult men stormed another recently arriving flight carrying deported families, according to NBC News.
