ANALYSIS – Team Biden and congressional Democrats are showing their true stripes with their latest massive taxpayer-funded boondoggle, the so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ (Act) negotiated by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.). (RELATED: The Secret Sauce in the Schumer-Manchin Monstrosity) Under the deceptive name, the Act would give the hated Internal Revenue Service (IRS) $80 billion in additional funding to hire as many as 87,000 more agents and employees, while doing virtually nothing to reduce inflation. (RELATED: Unpacking the Impact of the Inflation Reduction Act) The Washington Free Beacon previously reported that, despite White House claims, the Act does extremely little to fight inflation. Moody’s Analytics found…
ANALYSIS – As the establishment media, the current Biden administration and its Democrat allies in Congress continue to aggressively push the overwrought narrative that the January 6 Capitol riot was worse than 9/11, while the BLM riots of last year were ‘mostly peaceful,’ here are some simple, undisputed, fully substantiated facts to compare. We report. You decide. BLM RIOTS (aka ‘The 2020 Summer of Love’) 2,000 police officers injured nationwide.$2 BILLION in damages (largest riot damages in U.S. history).No rioters were killed by police.19 people were killed during just 14 days of BLM rioting.The killing of police officers nationwide surged 28% in 2020…
ANALYSIS – In the wake of U.S. Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, Communist China (Chicom) launched its largest military drills around the island ever. These exercises, which began on Thursday, will effectively blockade Taiwan until Sunday afternoon. The big questions are how will President Biden react, and what will be the impact? The answers so far are not much, and we will see. China’s live-fire drills are being held in six areas around the island’s coastline between noon on Thursday and the same time on Sunday. While China has regularly conducted military drills near Taiwan, with the size and…
ANALYSIS – In wake of the Ukraine war and as China effectively blockades Taiwan with war drills surrounding the island, American firms both large and small are assessing whether to exit Taiwan or take other less drastic security precautions. Their concern: that any major conflict could result in the loss or seizure of assets on the island. This is also one of Communist China’s goals in its ongoing military intimidation campaign – to damage Taiwan’s long-term economic viability. Politico’s China Watcher newsletter: “It’s inherently in the interest of the PRC to maintain a high shrill tone with Taiwan to dampen the interest of…
ANALYSIS – There has been a lot of information coming out of the Jan. 6 Committee hearings. One major bit of misinformation has been the claim that former President Trump didn’t order the National Guard to protect the Capitol as he has said. Or that it is ‘false’ that Democrat officials rejected his offer. One is totally misleading; the other is just untrue. Most recently, former acting Defense Secretary (SECDEF) under Trump, Chris Miller testified that former President Donald Trump never gave him a formal order to have 10,000 troops ready to be deployed to the Capitol on January 6. However, ignored by the media is that…

How to eat an elephant? One bit at a time – And that’s how one brave group is undermining the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) totalitarian control over the people of China. According to activist reports, as of August 3, more than 400 million Chinese have renounced their affiliation with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The Chinese word for ‘quit the party’ is ‘Tuidang’ and the movement to leave the party is growing. The Tuidang movement began in 2004, after the release of the “Nine Commentaries of the Communist Party,” a book first published by the Chinese language edition of The Epoch Times detailing the…
It’s not just Russia. The visit by the U.S. House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi to Taipei greatly angered China and added fuel to the rapidly growing Chinese Communist (Chicom) disinformation efforts against Taiwan and the United States. According to U.S. cybersecurity company Mandiant, a new Chinese group used fake news sites and fake social media accounts to try to undermine U.S.-Taiwanese relations prior to and during the visit. The group used similar methods to promote false information on events from the recent Supreme Court abortion ruling to bioweapons in Ukraine. Defense One reported that: Mandiant discovered that the Chinese group, dubbed HaiEnergy, had published “two…
