[AND magazine] "So, here’s a guy who’s maybe about to sit down in the Oval Office, ultimately was, [and] everything says this guy may very well be owned by our number one enemy on the planet. And our top counterintelligence agency steps [00:04:00] in — I’m trying to resist the urge to laugh, not because it’s funny, but because it’s just so mind boggling. The guys who are the number one domestic counterintelligence agency for the US government don’t jump all over that and say, "Good Lord, this could be the biggest CI scandal in American history." They say, "Oh, we can’t let anybody know about this." Nobody, nobody should have any inkling that Joe may be a Chinese spy."
Charles "Sam" Faddis is a former CIA operations officer and national security commentator with extensive experience on the ground in the Near East and South Asia. He's also one of the guys you'll see on the intelligence edition of Inside the Team Room which we're currently rolling out in segments on The Spec Ops Channel. Since Sam has written for the site, but hasn't been on the podcast, I figured no better time than now to have him on. On this episode we get into some of the recent diplomatic relations happening with the U.S. and hostile nations. Sam's analysis of President Trump's strategies in dealing with Russia and North Korea are very insightful. It's also interesting hearing Sam discuss these topics with the background he has, and how he certainly doesn't echo a lot of the talking heads and so-called "experts" you'll see on TV. Sam is also starting work on a book about where the U.S. stands in a post-9/11 world in preventing homeland terrorism. We get into that topic, and you'll hear why he's very cynical about our current homeland security strategies. Sam has both authored and co-authored several books including "Beyond Repair: The Decline and Fall of the CIA," and his next book which is finished and will be out soon deals with the invasion of Iraq. Visit him at SamFaddis.com and follow him on Twitter @RealSamFaddis, let him know how you liked his interview. In addition, we hope you check him out along with some other great SOFREP personalities on the Inside the Team Room available on The Spec Ops Channel. If you're not already a member, we encourage you to become one. It's up now, and if you're enjoying the series, let us know. I also check your emails being sent to sofrep.radio@sofrep.com on this episode; and as always, follow us on Instagram and Twitter @SOFREPRadio.
[Free Beacon] The top Republican on the Senate energy committee launched an inquiry on Wednesday into a Biden administration grant to a China-based battery company under scrutiny from U.S. financial regulators. The announcement came in the wake of a Washington Free Beacon report about the Biden administration's attempt to spin the grant as a boon for American-made clean energy.
Sen. John Barrasso (R., Wyo.), the ranking member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said the Department of Energy’s grant to Microvast Holding "endangers our national security" and "undermine[s] the United States’ position in its race against China for technological supremacy," in a letter to DOE secretary Jennifer Granholm on Wednesday.
The inquiry comes after the DOE gave the $200 million award to Microvast, a holding company that operates primarily in China, to build a lithium-ion battery separator facility in Tennessee, the Free Beacon reported on Tuesday. Granholm said the funding, which came from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, would help "supercharge the private sector to ensure our clean energy future is American-made."
Barrasso asked Granholm to turn over records detailing the "security review process" for companies receiving DOE funding, and the names of officials who are responsible for approving the payments.
"Microvast’s close relationship with China is no secret," wrote Barrasso. "I remind you that the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was ostensibly intended to develop robust domestic manufacturing bases and supply chains free from the predations of the [People’s Republic of China]."
"DOE distributing $200 million in taxpayer funds to a company joined at the hip with China is demonstrably antithetical to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s intent," he added.

Meanwhile the U.S. DOD is attempting to remove Chinese made products from the supply chain. And recommending blocking the use of TikTok by U.S. military personnel, civilians in general.
https://www.cisecurity.org/insights/blog/why-tiktok-is-the-latest-security-threat
Pertaining to the manufacturing of batteries, what are the risks related to product safety? Having to be fully dependent on their manufacturing abilities? What happens if China invades Taiwan? Any diplomatic disagreements with China could threat our ability to import batteries or rare earth materials used in manufacturing given the pressure Washington is pushing the U.S. into this E.V. world whether it is best for the country or not.

[HOTAIR] You probably don’t remember her name, but you remember why she is famous: Rebekah Jones was the Florida Department of Health employee who rose to Left-wing stardom for attacking Governor Ron DeSantis for his COVID policies.
She was fired from the Florida Department of Health for insubordination and spent almost two years claiming it was because she was a whistleblower fighting DeSantis’ fraudulent COVID-19 reporting practices and his ineffective policies.
Well, on Friday she admitted to being a criminal. She hijacked the Florida Department of Health’s computer system, lied about it, and stole data from the system. She was a fraud and a liar.
Jones became a hero to the Left and inspired other Left-wingers to attack DeSantis as well. Jones ran for Congress because...well, of course she did. Strike while the iron is hot and all that. The Left was in love, so cash in!
Jones was arrested last year—her entire campaign for Congress took place while she was under investigation and awaiting trial—and she resolved the case Friday by admitting her crime. She has a "deferred prosecution," which is like a plea bargain but not quite. She admits her crime without being convicted in court, and if she abides by the agreement she will not be prosecuted. Frankly, I had never heard of such an arrangement, but I am not a lawyer.

[BioFuelsDigest] In Massachusetts, Christopher N. Condron was sentenced on Tuesday in federal court in Boston in connection with his role in a scheme to defraud the U.S. Treasury Department of more than $50 million in tax-free energy grants as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
For each application, Condron falsely said that the entities had acquired, placed into service, or started construction of energy property that included three different bio-fuel gasification systems, purportedly built at a cost of approximately $88 million, as well as an $84 million wind farm project.
Condron and his partners asked to be reimbursed for more than $50 million based on the costs, which they never actually suffered. Condron also submitted fake documentation to a Massachusetts-based attorney who submitted the applications to the Treasury Department. Evidence at a trial demonstrated that Condron overstated property costs in the grant applications and defrauded the government out of more than $8.7 million. Further evidence showed that Condron attempted to get another $42 million in energy grants.
Condron was sentenced to seven years in prison and three years of supervised release. Condron was ordered to pay $8.7 million in return.
These were funds from the Obama Stimulus Program, aka, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Biden was, per Obama, put in charge of eliminating fraud in this. Condron's fraud worked through 2013. In 2017 he was charged with fraud. In 2021 convicted. Shows how slowly the Federal prosecution works.

As a tax payer, I would like to make sure that we seize and own whatever he spent the money on. We could EBay bid out all the velvet Elvis artwork, for instance. If it went to hookers, we can just consider that to be a sunk cost or he can sort of work that off on his own during the 7 years. I suppose we could auction off the smokes a pack at a time.

This is one front in the Twitter 2.0 Hunter Biden skirmish; the other (as noted a few times yesterday by various commenters) will be the lawfare component.
[Newsbusters] - Liberal slime merchant David Brock has emerged from the woodwork again. This time, he's leading a counter-attack on the GOP-majority House committee that will be investigating Hunter Biden's influence-peddling schemes and the possible connections to his father the president.
They call their new group "Facts First USA." Did that verbiage work to make CNN sound less partisan?
Brock appeared on MSNBC's The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart. The host claimed maybe he's watched too much House of Cards and is a big Scandal fan, but when he heard Brock say that he is going on "offense" he wondered just how far Brock would go, and whether it would include "focusing in on the people who are leading [the investigations] and running them?"
Brock assured him:
"We're going to go on offense. Are we going to expose some of the Republicans on the committee? Sure we are."
Translation: Brock and his Democrat buddies will be turning up their anti-Republican scandal-mongering machine to 11. Capehart sounded thrilled: "You're going to have to come back to the Sunday Show and tell us, preview what you got!"
Note that Brock broke out some shopworn tactics to counter the allegations against Hunter Biden. Brock claimed that the allegations have been "asked and answered," that they've supposedly been investigated "ad nauseam" and that "this is nothing but a bunch of recycled conspiracy theories."

[BREITBART] Despite critical acclaim and the support of big-name stars, Jordan E. Cooper’s Broadway production of Ain’t No Mo’ is closing less than three weeks after its opening day.
The woke comedic play follows a slate of black characters, some of them drag queens, who are part of the first wave of black Americans given free passage to Africa by the U.S. government as part of a package for slavery reparations, the Hollywood Reporter revealed.
According to the production’s website, the show takes its audience on a journey asking, "What if the U.S. government offered Black Americans one-way plane tickets to Africa?"
"Moving faster than a transatlantic jet plane, this unprecedented, unpredictable comedy speeds through the turbulent skies of being Black in today’s America," the pitch continues, added, "Brilliantly blending sketch, satire, avant garde theater, and a dose of drag, AIN’T NO MO’ will leave you crying with laughter—and thinking through the tears."

'I don't care who you are!': Man is arrested for punching a NYPD officer after confronting protesters opposed to Drag Queen Story Hour for kids as young as THREE at NYC's iconic Public Library
[American Thinker] The headlong rush by Western nations to not only abandon fossil fuels, but punish those involved in extracting and producing them is not only foolish, but suicidal. There is simply no way to quickly transition from abundant and inexpensive energy to solar, wind, and electric without causing massive disruption and pain for the vast majority of non-elites.
Combine this insane energy policy with the elites' simultaneous threat to shut down thousands of farms if they don't adhere to draconian measures to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions and you have a recipe for privation, and — at least eventually — for great fear, anger, and chaos.
And this at a time of severe economic uncertainty and supply chain issues. For no legitimate reason, the West is determined to transition from a time of wealth and plenty to one of probable privation and famine. Stunning.
The rulers of Western nations appear crazily determined to do everything in their power — or even outside their constitutionally permitted powers — to destroy the nations they lead. Canada's Justin Trudeau brazenly and vilely violated the rights of thousands of Canadian truckers who were peacefully protesting the apprentice tyrant's suffocating and endless COVID-19 vaccine mandates and restrictions earlier this year. He not only sicced the police on them, but pressured banks to freeze their accounts and insurance companies to cancel their policies. And Trudeau now says he expects police to snuff out another potential protest before it can occur. Is it ethical — or prudent — to so treat those responsible for delivering materials and goods to every corner of your vast and remote nation?
But wait, there's more, as late-night infomercials often say. Our leaders and influencers are not content with simply depriving us "deplorables" of the energy, products, and food on which we depend. Heavens, no. Many are all in on our intellectual, cultural, and spiritual destruction as well.
By not pushing back on — or even embracing — the agendas of radical far-left provocateurs who openly wish to abolish the family and eviscerate all standards, they further reveal themselves.
Incredibly, there is an ongoing and all-out assault on competence, decency, discipline, achievement, communication skills, reason...and morality...all of which have been branded tools or vestiges of white supremacy. How could anything be more racist than that? Moreover, the Judeo-Christian work ethic has also been effectively mocked and dispensed with, as have traditional biblical values. (In fact, some parts of the Bible are now considered "hate speech" by the left.)
All of this has led us, inevitably and inexorably, to the place we find ourselves now.
[BREITBART] Representative Adam Schiff ...Showboating U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has served in Congress since 2001. He currently serves as the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In a manner reminiscent of Joe McCarthy, on March 22, 2017, in a interview with Chuck Todd on MSNBC Schiff claimed there was “more than circumstantial evidence now” that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia." Todd followed up by asking if he had seen direct evidence of collusion and Schiff responded that there was "evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation"... (D-CA) said Sunday on CBS’s "Face the Nation" that the January 6 House Select Committee issuing a criminal referral for former President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... and others was not a political statement. Then his lips fell off.
Partial transcript as follows:
MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to ask you about democracy here at home. As we mentioned, you are on that January 6 committee and I understand you have a meeting today. Chairman Thompson had said at 1pm, there’s going to be a sort of report passed from one group to the main committee about criminal referrals. Reportedly on that list, former President Trump, former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman. Is there a consensus on whether to send a referral for criminal prosecution to the Justice Department, and would doing that be anything more than symbolic?
SCHIFF: You know, I think we are in common agreement about what our approach should be. I’m not ready or authorized at this point to tell you what that is. We are as a subcommittee, several of us that were charged with making the recommendation about referrals, going to be making that recommendation to full committee today. We will be releasing a report, I think around the 21st, that will include whatever decision we’ve made on referrals. What I can tell you about the process is we’re looking at what is the quantum of evidence that we have against individuals? What is the impact of making a referral? Are we going to create some suggestion by referring some, that others there wasn’t sufficient evidence, when we don’t know, for example, what evidence is in the position of the Justice Department? So, if we do make referrals, we want to be very careful about how we do them. But I think we’re all certainly in agreement that there is evidence of criminality here and we want to make sure that the Justice Department is aware of that.
[HOTAIR] In September, friends of Hunter Biden began meeting to plan how best to help their friend against the investigations coming once Republicans take back the House. They are going on the offensive, that is if they can all come together enough to be on one page. Hunter called into the meeting via video, too.
Hunter’s supporters are divided over two different approaches. The plan is to go after Biden’s accusers, somethng that is right out of any standard Democrat playbook. Blame the accusers, not the person being investigated. Several groups are trying to unify around the best strategy. For example, Hunter Biden’s friend and lawyer Kevin Morris wants the approach to be aggressive. He has in mind filing defamation lawsuits against Hunter’s critics, including against Fox News. He’s done extensive opposition research against potential witnesses, such as Toy Bobulinski, Hunter’s former business partner, and John Paul Mac Isaac, the computer repairman who reported the laptop.
David Brock, the former conservative turned liberal activist, attended the meeting. He is planning a new group, Facts First USA, that will focus on fighting the House GOP investigations. "They feel that there is a whole counternarrative missing because of the whole Hunter-hater narrative out there. What we really got into was more the meat of it, the meat of what a response would look like."

[Daily Caller] A federal judge rejected the Justice Department’s (DOJ) request to hold former President Donald Trump’s team in contempt of court for not fully complying with a May subpoena for every document with classification markings that he possessed, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
Trump’s team had not yet designated a custodian of records to sign a document assuring that all classified materials were handed over to the federal government, despite the DOJ seeking a sworn, written statement to that effect, according to The Washington Post. The judge ultimately told the DOJ and Trump’s legal team during the sealed proceedings to settle the matter on their own, sources said, ABC News reported.
"The President and his counsel will continue to be transparent and cooperative, even in the face of the highly weaponized and corrupt witch-hunt from the Department of Justice," Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told the Daily Caller News Foundation. "Hillary Clinton was allowed to delete and acid wash 33,000 emails after they were subpoenaed by Congress, yet absolutely nothing has happened to hold her accountable. If the Department of Justice can go after President Trump, they will surely come after any American who they disagree with." (RELATED: Special Counsel Investigating Trump Was Key Figure In IRS Targeting Scandal)
The FBI’s August raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort discovered 11 sets of classified documents. Trump’s attorneys had previously claimed that Mar-a-Lago was diligently searched for classified documents, the Post reported.

[Gateway] Kari Lake filed a historic lawsuit on Friday to nullify the Stolen 2022 Midterm Election for Governor.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Kari Lake filed her lawsuit against Katie Hobbs and the corrupt Maricopa County elections officials to nullify the election for Governor and approve a full audit of signatures and machine failures.
It was revealed by a Runbeck whistleblower in Lake’s filing that HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of ballots did not have any chain of custody documentation.
This is similar to a 2020 election finding that hundreds of thousands of 2020 election ballots also lacked the necessary chain of custody documentation.
The filing also states that 25,000 ballots were added to Maricopa County’s totals after election day.

[NYPOST] Mayor Eric Adams’ move to involuntarily commit some mentally ill homeless people is the right way to both help them and improve safety for everyone else, former Gov. David Paterson said Sunday.
“The mayor has been very proactive. [His strategy] not only will help to keep [dangerous] individuals off the streets, it’s going to help the individuals themselves,” Paterson said during an appearance on WABC Radio’s “Cats Roundtable.”
Hizzoner’s policy allows cops to bring homeless people to hospitals for psych evaluations if they pose a danger to themselves or others — even if the person does not agree to go.
“What we need to do is what we should’ve been doing the last 15 or 20 years, [which] is reversing the deinstitutionalization of the late ’70s that carried into the ’90s that doesn’t allow us to have enough beds to help these people,” Paterson told host John Catsimatidis.

This seems to make companionate sense on the surface. If you consider everything that Trudeau is actually doing to be the wishlist or template for Dems and Libs, this is just a way to get people back under tighter government control. No one can argue with institutionalizing dangerous mentally ill folks. In the socialist communist framework the definition of mentally ill begins to float towards people that disagree with government control. Then the cost cutters get involved and euthanasia begins to be offered. Later it is mandated.

[NYPOST] The party will be over for big businesses that push "woke" agendas once the Grand Old Party takes over the House next month, insiders told The Post.
Long viewed as the party of big business, fed-up Republicans will now lead committees and have subpoena power as they seek to punish investment firms that prioritize the environment over fossil fuels, as well as trying to rein in China’s outsized influence on the US economy, according to several sources interviewed by The Post.
"There is frustration with specific issues like woke capitalism but it’s also the case that the GOP sees Wall Street interests and big business interests generally aligned against Main Street . . . and the GOP wants to identify itself with the small business community," James Lucier, managing director of Washington-based policy research firm Capital Alpha, told The Post.
Republicans, who gained a majority in the House for the first time since 2016, are also expected to look at the impact of free trade and outsourcing jobs on local communities, China’s monopoly on many rare earth minerals, and the Chinese companies that are listed on U.S. stock exchanges, according to insiders.

"It is wrong to censor newspapers. It is wrong to censor journalists," Rep. Ro Khanna
... Ro stands for Rohit — his people are Hindus from the Punjab, but he was born in Philadelphia. He’s been described as a shouty progressive, though he identifies as a progressive capitalist, of which there is a considerable constituency these days, especially in California...
of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, said on Fox News’ "Sunday Morning Futures."
"The New York Post hasn’t written a kind thing about me in my six years in Congress. They’re a conservative-point-of-view paper," he continued. "But that doesn’t mean that you can stop publishing their pieces or articles or censor their journalists from sharing stories."
Twitter’s suppression of The Post’s October 2020 expose on President Biden’s son "just offended the basic principles that our country is based on," Khanna told host Maria Bartiromo.
