"The Chinese Communist Party aired a video in which it warned Japan of a nuclear response and "full-scale war" if the island nation interferes in China’s handling of Taiwan.
The video, which appeared on a channel approved by the CCP, singles out Japan as the one exception to China’s policy to not use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear powers.
"We will use nuclear bombs first," the video said. "We will use nuclear bombs continuously. We will do this until Japan declares unconditional surrender for the second time." "
Now what did I say just before Biden was installed as a puppet Prez.? China will try and seize Taiwan.

They hunted any and all lawmakers: “Where are they?” Outside, makeshift gallows stood, complete with sturdy wooden steps and the noose. Guns and pipe bombs had been stashed in the vicinity.

THE ECONOMY: A WINNING ISSUE FOR REPUBLICANS
The Democrats entered 2021 thinking they could do pretty much anything they want, and coast to future victories on the back of the inevitable economic rebound from covid shutdown-depressed 2020. No matter how much they held back the economy, their thinking went, it would show vigorous growth and thereby insulate them from political fallout. The Democrats’ cockiness was exemplified by Joe Biden’s absurd assertion that “no serious economist” is worried about inflation.

Well, the FBI in its investigation of all the evidence confirmed what the Capitol Police found: no firearms were found among any of the rioters inside the Capitol building or outside among any of the on-lookers and crowds. No one charged with brandishing or carrying a firearm. That would be against the law.
They did find, according to DC Metro that day, a van with a firearm inside several blocks away that day. Yes, they also found a pile bomb explosive at the RNC headquarters (didn’t go off) and another pipe bomb near/at a Democrat Party building Sounds like Antifa’s MO or Obama’s buddies in the Weather Underground.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-covid-recession-was-the-shortest-in-us-history-but-we-spent-more-than-in-any-prior-recession
Darn. I lived through the Great Trump Recession and allI got were measly stimulus checks.
———————————
Awhile back When the first stimulus checks were being mailed out, I posted a non-political meme of a smiling mechanic that read something to the effect ‘ Every mechanic in America’ and below that caption at the bottom read, “That will be $1,400.”
Sure enough, I took the old beater in for much needed brakes, calipers, and rotors all the way around, plus to unfreeze the parking brake and new parts on that. The mechanic said with a straight face, that will be $1,400. Actually, with the oil change (been a couple or so years), the price was $1,480, so I laid out $1,400 smackers cash and the shop excepted that, lol. Senior discount, I reckon. Money talks, BS walks...as some say.
I lived through the Trump Recession and all I got was some brakes on the old beater. Like putting lipstick on a pig. :).

BIDEN WALKS IT BACK
Joe Biden’s accusing Facebook of killing people was an unforced error, and a rather bizarre one. Facebook is closely aligned with the Democratic Party–Mark Zuckerberg may have done more to win the 2020 election for Joe Biden than anyone else, including Biden–and it was pointless and damaging for Biden to level such an accusation. Moreover, it gave a senior Facebook executive the opportunity to point out that Biden was scapegoating the company for its own failure to meet its vaccination goals.
Today, predictably, Biden changed his mind:
“Facebook isn’t killing people, these 12 people are out there giving misinformation. Anyone listening to it is getting hurt by it. It’s killing people. It’s bad information,” Biden told reporters after giving remarks about the economy, referencing a study that showed a dozen accounts on Facebook are responsible for the majority of misinformation about the coronavirus vaccine seen on the platform.
“My hope is that Facebook, instead of taking it personally, that somehow I’m saying Facebook is killing people, that they would do something about the misinformation, the outrageous misinformation about the vaccine,” Biden added. “That’s what I meant.”
Those 12 accounts, by the way, are widely diverse and share no ideological point of view. One of the “dirty dozen” is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., a long-time anti-vaxxer, as are several of the others.
The most notable aspect of this incident, I think, is that it is one of a number of recent occasions when Biden has spoken with the caustic, belligerent tone that you see in some men as they enter their dotage. No doubt his entourage was horrified when he accused their friends at Facebook of “killing people,” but cleaning up after this kind of outburst is something they are increasingly accustomed to.

GeorgeR: " it’s time to up the ante and convince Russia and China that the price of cyberwarfare just went up."
I think I have a mixed mind about this. It's not clear to what extent any of the current ransom attacks are state-sponsored (and 'sponsored' could mean a lot of things of course) and I'd be surprised as heck if the Russians or Chinese are as aggressive about exploits as the Israelis or the US.
If something like Pegasus wasn't built by one company or group, it would simply be another, and I don't see a general call for bombing Tel Aviv because of it's existence.
I would suggest instead that governments spent a bit more time hardening systems rather than compromising them, although it is less fun. Perhaps more in the way of certification programs, the FAA exists for a reason. Aggressive internal law enforcement of the bytes passing over the internet would simply lead to more surveillance and control by organizations (ie. governments) with guns and camps rather than ones who are merely after your money.
You could think of it all as a developing immune system. The constant attacks build up strength of the system while carpet bombing the source of attacks is rather like overuse of antibiotics. At some point the world becomes far more dependent on the internet while it's substrate has never been strengthened.
It's a shame that there's so much in the way of vulnerabilities added in order to add features (or improve efficiency) but that's the nature of attempting to sell Excel 2021 to supersede Excel 2020.

I should learn more about the early history of the Communists, perhaps there was the equivalent of early Christian thinkers who melted a philosophy down to easily-understood ideas and symbology.

1A Win: Court Says Law Mandating Trans Pronoun Use A Violation Of Free Speech
https://www.dailywire.com/news/1a-win-court-says-law-mandating-trans-pronoun-use-a-violation-of-free-speech
“The pronoun provision at issue here tests the limits of the government’s authority to restrict pure speech that, while potentially offensive or harassing to the listener, does not necessarily create a hostile environment,” wrote Associate Justice Elena Duarte, according to The Associated Press. The judge italicized “potentially” and “necessarily.”
Refusing to use preferred transgender pronouns “may be disrespectful, discourteous, and insulting,” said Judge Duarte, but it allows others “to express an ideological disagreement with another person’s expressed gender identity.”
Hate to use a well worn cliche, but it fits, despite my misgivings: My free speech does not end where your feelings begin.

[If the US was being damaged even a tenth as much as claimed by foreign state-sponsored rogue hackers demanding money, and we did nothing, then we are over as a sovereign nation-state.” - Dr.Rebane’s opening to this edition of The Sandbox.
‘Why Can't Biden Stop This Invasion?’
“Good question: Why are people from developing nations leaving their home countries and crossing Mexico to get into the USA? After all, our academic, cultural, and political elites have told the world that America is a place of "systemic racism," created by white supremacists, for the benefit of peoples of white privilege, where ethnic minorities remain oppressed. Why would such a country, of all 193 nations in the U.N., be, far and away, the first choice of peoples migrating from the Global South?
Could it be that people from developing nations are not so ignorant as to believe this anti-American progressive propaganda? They know America is free and full of opportunity. That even the poor here have access to 12 years of free education for their kids. That they will find better health care in America than they can find at home. That there are programs here to battle poverty, hunger, and homelessness.
But from the standpoint of the nation to which they are coming, the illegal migrant millions present real problems. They consume far more in benefits than they pay in taxes. They are dead weight on the welfare state.
"Biden is in a vise on border," said The Washington Post Sunday headline, over a story describing the president's border problem. But the only way Biden can have a political crisis on the border is if he is seen as failing in his duty to defend the states against invasion. Why is he failing? Either he can't do what is needed to be done, or he won't do it.
America's border paralysis is induced by liberal ideology. The left does not want the illegals coming here. "Do not come!" was the message Harris gave the Guatemalans. But when it comes to the necessary toughness to stop the invasion, they recoil.”
https://www.intellectualtakeout.org/why-can-t-biden-stop-this-invasion-/

Co-incidentally Thomas Barrack, who was arrested, was the chairman of Trump's 2017 inauguration committee and a personal friend of Trumps. So now that information will be under investigation as well.
Posted by: Paul Emery | 20 July 2021 at 12:55 PM
Paul
Psst. Let me let you on a little secret. The Inauguration Committee has already been investigated by the authorities thoroughly. No crimes were found and Melania has not hauled away in handcuffs. Roberta was so disappointed. He just knew the smoking gun was to be found in the Inauguration Committee. He just knew all the goods were stashed there.
Questions of foreign donations funding the Inauguration parties were raised. Raised and answered. But, sniff, sniff, sniff away. Sniff it out. Keep digging, Paul emery, you are half way to China. Go Punch go!
If Barrack did a no-no, he will be held accountable. Barrack was the one who recommended Paul Manafort to Trump for an unpaid position as campaign manager, a good reason to lock up Barrack and throw the keys away. Yes, Barrack and Trump go way back. Way back. Evil rich dude.
Up next: A slew of Trump tell-all books! All taken as Lefty gospel. Credible! Yawn.

This is just more proof that the Democrat party’s jihad to legalize cheating at the polls is backfiring big-time. Even as Democrats, like the poisonous Stacey Abrams, and their allies in the fake news media scream Racism! and Jim Crow!, most especially about something as basic as requiring a photo ID to vote, public opinion is moving against them, way against them, with this poll on top of a poll showing a whopping 75 percent in favor of voter ID.

Paul
RE Bill 1:23 "Questions of foreign donations funding the Inauguration parties were raised. Raised and answered."
How do you account for the arrests Bill if the questions were answered as you claim?”
The questions, answers, and investigation I referenced were if any foreigners contributed to the Inauguration events. That answer is no.
The indictment does not include any foreign money or foreign actors funding Trump’s Inauguration Committee, as was the rumor and charges from the Lefties.
The indictment (and arrest) involves foreign influence on US policy and two US Nationals trying to exert influence on behave of the UAE.
Paul, what moi was responding to was your leap of faith beyond the indictment as summarized in the DOJ press release to this:
“Co-incidentally Thomas Barrack, who was arrested, was the chairman of Trump's 2017 inauguration committee and a personal friend of Trumps. So now that information will be under investigation as well.”
The Inauguration Committee has already been investigated by the Feds and no charges or indictments were brought forth. So now, what information will be under investigation as well? That Barrack was a long friend of Trump’s? Way more than public knowledge. That Barrack served as chairman of the Inaugural Committee? Is that some kind of new information?
I believe we are confusing two separate investigations, one of which is completed and one yet to go to trail. Sort of like the press and some readers confusing the US Government e-mails hacked by multiple “actors” when Hillary Rodclam Clinton was Secretary of State as opposed to the prIvate DNC-Podesta e-mails that were released by Wikileaks.
Two different hacks, one of a government official using an unsecured server to conduct State Department business (property of the US government) versus the hacking/downloading servers of private institutions; DNC and the “I’m with Her”, INC.
Hope that answers your question. I started reading the indictment itself, but things came up. Press releases are written by one office, indictments written by other offices.
Posted by: Bill Tozer | 20 July 2021 at 06:08 PM
Emery don't give a 💩 what really going on. All he wants you hear is that some friend of Trump is in hot water.. Real or imagined. Like Flynn Emery? A set up? Entrapment?

Now if Trump had done that, you would be whining to no end demanding his impeachment.

Gregory
Do you deny that the riot at the Capitol chanted Hang Pence while they were jingling the noose outside in encouragement? I grant you then it was symbolic but combined with a chanting crowd there was a true threat to h is life. What do you think would have happened to Pence if they hadn't hustled him to safety?
Posted by: Paul Emery | 20 July 2021 at 06:59 PM
Ah, the ole answer a question with a question....to not answer a question.
“Gregory
Do you deny that the riot.....”.
Now, what was Gregory’s question? Day Two of waiting for the ole “yes or no, Yes or No???
Paul, you are now sounding like a stage prop. You are being quite evasive when a “Yes or No” question is tossed your way. You are not finally learning about context and nuances, are you? What, the gallows you were so concerned with yesterday are not the point? Life isn’t always black and white. Context is important. If, under the legal statues you posted yesterday, those peaceful protestors who tried tried to set fire to and break into the Federal Courthouse in Portland would all be charged with insurrection and/or rebellion. Federal property and Federal agents hurt.
Another example was the peaceful protestors at Lafette Square who threw frozen water bottles at the Federal LE and torched the outside of a WH guard shack at a WH entrance to the grounds fits the definition of insurrection. Set fire to a WH guard shack! That would be a big threat to our democracy.
Some, without context, would call that insurrection. Look at the definition! Look at the statues.
The first felony conviction of the rioters came in, as you are well aware.. The dude was walking among the mob inside the Capitol Building, but not participating in any mayhem. He got 8 months for ‘disrupting a session of Congress.’ He also was a volunteer at a local soup back home at a kitchen/homeless shelter like Utah’s Place.
Bet he wishes he could take that day back. Caught up in the crowd in the excitement of the moment. Hardly an insurrectionist. A Disrupter, no doubt. Hopefully he will stop volunteering at the food bank. Attracts undesirables.. Probably where he got his crazy idea to walk towards the tear gas. A felony is a felony, right, Paul? That’s all that matters in a black and white world. He was the dude that was carrying zip ties! What do you think he would have done with those zip ties? Zip tie Mad Max and haul her sorry ass to the stage prop gallows?

Convicted for what? Has anybody even been indicted for threatening the vice president? Has anybody even been indicted for insurrection? It’s kind of hard to be indicted for insurrection when you don’t have any weapons. Keep talking. You’re putting your ignorance on full display Paul. Your whole schtick is just silly.
Posted by: Barry Pruett | 20 July 2021 at 07:44 PM
Paul. I have a unique perspective that likely only a handful of people in the United States if not the world have had. In October 1993 after tanks were shelling the Russian Duma I went inside when some of the shooting stopped. To this day, I have no idea why I did it. I was 23 years old. I was following the crowd. I had no intent on trying to overthrow the Russian government. I just wanted to see the inside of the building and the actual location where the Russian legislators worked. After the shooting started again while I was inside the building, I’m pretty sure I almost died. There was gunfire all around me and the tanks resumed shooting. My point is a lot of these people just went in the Capitol building because they were following the crowd. To call these idiots insurrectionists is just purely ridiculous. At some point I’ll tell you more about it, but suffice it to say, you have no idea what you are talking about.

So punchy... never did get an answer from you... yes or no... the gallows you were hyperventilating over again was a cheap stage prop. Yes?”
Simple question. One can debate the word ‘cheap’ in regards to today’s price of lumber in comparison to the price of lumber during Trump’s last days, but that would not answer the question. That would be a chuck and jive, a rope-a-dope, a dope on a rope.
Yes or no? Stage prop? Yes or no? The cheap gallows were of utmost importance to you, Paul empty, just yesterday. Berry berry important. Critical Mass Important! What happened? Nevermind, don’t need to answer ‘what happened since yesterday’.

So rather than give it to the workers who have to pee in bottles at distribution centers to pay for his flight he gave it to an avowed communist to take down our government
The move came minutes after his backlash-drawing comments that he wanted "to thank every Amazon employee and every Amazon customer because you guys paid for all this. So seriously, for every Amazon customer out there, and every Amazon employee, thank you from the bottom of my heart, very much." Some hit back at him on Twitter, demanding a "refund."
Jones has been an especially divisive public figure. The left-wing CNN commentator once dubbed himself a "communist" and previously called former President Donald Trump's election a "'White-lash.' This was a 'White-lash' against a changing country. It was a 'White-lash' against a Black president, in part." In another segment, he took aim at the National Rifle Association, essentially linking it to the Ku Klux Klan: "You have a whole generation of young people who essentially see the NRA as their enemy. To them, the NRA is like the KKK."

From Don’s link:
“So far, two others have received sentences in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot — Anna Morgan-Lloyd of Bloomington, Indiana, 49, was sentenced to 36 months of probation after pleading guilty to one charge of demonstrating in a Capitol building;”
Aha! One charge of demonstrating in a Capitol building. Demonstrating in a Capitol building a no-no. Correct me if I am wrong, but I recall a bunch of folks ‘demonstrating in a Capitol building” during the Kavanaugh hearings. Man, they were pounding on the Senate doors trying to bust it down as Kavanaugh was being sworn in. I could be mistaken.
https://www.rollcall.com/2018/09/06/69-protesters-arrested-on-day-3-of-kavanaugh-hearing/
Charged with “disorderly conduct”. That seems about right. Out on bail in 20 minutes.

Instapundit is on a roll tonight.....
It Sure Looks Like the FBI Basically Orchestrated the Gretchen Whitmer ‘Kidnapping’ Plot. “Apparently, the FBI didn’t just have informants within the group where the arrests were made. Rather, FBI operatives played a key role in the planning of the entire ordeal and were also seemingly instrumental in birthing the plot.”
This is not unusual. Back in the 1950s and 1960s it was commonplace knowledge on both the left and the right that the guy in your group urging people to do illegal stuff was the FBI mole. And IIRC back in the 1990s there was a “militia” group where it turned out that every single member was an informant for some federal agency or another.
...and
OUCH: “Kamala didn’t rise through the ranks because she was a pioneer shattering glass ceilings, but because she was a convenient cutout for a series of dirty men from Willie Brown to Joe Biden. They didn’t elevate her because she was good at anything, but because she posed no threat. . . . After a long wasted life in politics, Kamala has no religion, no family, and has become the embodiment of the Peter Principle, promoted vastly above her competence, looking at a job that she can almost touch with her manicured hands, but will never be allowed to possess.”
Ouch indeed.....
