Prediction About Midterms Democrats Won't Want to Hear
[TOWNHALL] Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson offered a prediction about the midterm elections on Wednesday that Democrats won't want to hear.

"There’s going to be a reckoning," the historian said on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

"I think whether it’s Mexican-American communities on the border or where I live, or soccer moms mad about what’s being taught in schools, it’s not a top down, woke revolution," he continued. "It’s a grassroots populist revolution. We’re going to see it in the next midterms I think a lot of these institutions are going to rue the positions they’ve taken and the damage they’ve done."

China-Japan-Koreas
Is China Falling?

#1  Not as long they are getting $800 billion/year from America.
Posted by: Glogum the Low-priced4647 || 10/15/2021 2:51 Comments || Top||

#2  /\ Box stores suffer a temporary loss as costly alternative shipping arrangements are hurriedly arranged. The Chinese junk must continue to float, regardless of the increased cost to consumers. The American consumer must not learn that he can actually survive without this stuff.

Calls for the Orange Man's "Made in America" remain a distant, fading memory. I predict however, Pierre Omidyar's ebay (interesting fellow to be sure) will do quite well in the coming months. I continue to wait and see if Amazon and ebay join forces.

#3 

Lets say the Social-Capitalist economy fails.
Just what does CCP need from the rest of the world?

Say it folds and the Social-Capitalists go back to being Communists and just re-adopt MAO, kinda a watered down North Korea type operation.

How could the world punish China in any type of meaningful matter, for defaulting of debt

Answer: Just what the World did when the USSR collapsed. They'll reinvest in them and loaned them $$$$$ and rebuilt them into a Super Power and make "plane loads" of $$$$$.

Come to think of it ...
The CCP does own about $2T in USA debt/bonds and that could play a role in backing our backs.

#4  China has fallen. They will literally eat their own. North Korea as an example. The merchandise we now receive is literally cheap copies of the real things. High failure rates. Forget warranties if you can get the parts at all. Payoffs and corruption has brought them down as it will here. Look to alternative countries like India or Vietnam to supply products if you are going to outsource these products. China is done. No food, no water, no power, and no hope. Incompetent leadership as we have here. You can only fail so many times. Those that could leave China have. There is a race to the exit door. The Mao Red book is reborn.

#5  Wall Street is all-in on China taking over the world. Sort of like they were with Japan Inc. decades ago. The pentagon is all-in on China being the bigger boogie-man compared to Russia. The Uniparty is all-in on China, just because. I would like to see them all lose, but it's a tall order...

#7  #5 I understand that opinion. Their view of the world is and has been incorrect. The same is true of the house and senate. Remember Hillery was so backward with computers. A major upgrade is required. They are at least thirty years behind the times. Then you have the tech savvy but they use that knowledge to benefit themselves. So that limits progress. Share, network knowledge and build, advance and so you have a brighter future for all. Each works as a nanobot, there is the real power.

#8  The Chinese economy can stagnate for 30 years -- and China can still remain a mortal and even growing threat to us. The USSR was a mortal threat even while -- especially while -- its economy was stagnating and its people were living in near-third world poverty. You have to remember that most of their subjects were living hand to mouth just a generation ago.

Also, China for all its problems is still an extraordinarily wealthy and powerful nation. Yes, their military's hollowed out by corruption and incompetence. But they have Nike's and their technology is very advanced -- and getting better.

Especially their AI: when you have the world's largest and most detailed biometric dataset, your AI alogirithms will learn faster and faster. If anything an economically-declining China is an even more dangerous threat than one that's stable and growing.

#12  The difference between the Soviets back then and the Chinese now is that the for generations the average Soviet citizen never experience the massive economic leaps the Chinese have experienced since the late '80s. The Theory of Rising Expectations is the belief that human beings ultimately yearn for more than they have. So they are never completely satisfied. After they get what they want, they yearn for a little bit more or something else. The Chinese people now have a taste of that at a level that the Soviet citizen did not. That leads to social upheaval and unrest when things stop or appear to stop 'progressing'. Americans have lived with that up and down for a lot of their history, this will be the first big down for the contemporary Chinese.

ANALYSIS: Where Are All The Truckers?
[DailyCaller]
BLUF: Even before COVID-19 the trucking industry was 60,000 drivers short as the Baby Boom generation of men started retiring. Now the shortage is around 100,000, and despite significantly increased pay and benefits, not enough are joining up.
Posted by: Glogum the Low-priced4647 || 10/15/2021 17:41 || Comments || Link || [1 views] Top|| File under:

#1  Shutting down trucking schools as 'non-essential' during the Covid hysteria? Having an education establishment designed to feed universities and colleges and not vocational jobs? Increase micro-management by regulations? Drive independent owner-operators off your state highways? Make fuel more expensive cutting profit margins?

If you are a small company under a 100 personnel, go learn the Army lingo for the truck drivers, MOS et al. You can probably pick up some non-vaxxers real easily by offering pay and relocation incentives.

#2  Some time ago, I read an artical that said the ports in California had new emission requirements for trucks and that about 1/3 of the trucks servicing the ports would not comply, so could not work the ports. So now, we are having a trucking shortage? Who could have foreseen? Your "climate change" warriors score another one.

The California Version of The Green New Deal and an October 16, 2020, EPA Settlement With Transportation is What's Creating The Container Shipping Backlog – Working CA Ports 24/7 Will Not Help, Here's Why
[The Last Refuge] The trucking issue with California LA ports, ie the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and the Port of Long Beach (POLB), is that all semi tractors have to be current with new California emissions standards. As a consequence that mean trucks cannot be older than 3 years if they are to pick up or deliver containers at those ports. This issue wipes out approximately half of the fleet trucks used to move containers in/out of the port. Operating the port 24/7 will not cure the issue because all it does is pile up more containers that sit idle as they await a limited number of trucks to pick them up. THIS is the central issue.

On October 16, 2020, the EPA reached a settlement agreement [DATA HERE] with California Air Resource Board (CARB)to shut down semi-tractor rigs that were non-compliant with new California emission standards:

#2  "all semi tractors have to be current". Who can afford new junk. Truckers that refuse vaccine out. What we are seeing here is public education at its finest. California is a total write off. Go ahead and go AI. With what?. Regressive progressives.

#3  This issue wipes out approximately half of the fleet trucks used to move containers in/out of the port.

Hmmm. Wouldn't have anything to do with all the money flooding into new EV truck-related companies now, would it?

Where have Brandon, Paul Pelosi and other Dem inside traders been putting their money recently?

Have they been arbitraging California's and their Green New Deal legislation for personal profit -- and destroying our ground logistics system in the process? Inquiring minds want to know

#6  Onerous or punitive regulations which prevent the transit of goods explicitly tagged for delivery in another state, from transiting through California.

#7  Typical corrupt democrat solution. Pay unions massive overtime to stand around 24/7 and wait for a truck to show up for loading. It is not a labor shortage, its a intermodal systemwide driver/truck shortage. All Democrats solutions are the same, to give money to their allies under the guise of some purported solution. If there is any actual improvement it’s coincidental.

Government Corruption
The UniParty Rides To The Rescue Of Mail-In Voting In Pennsylvania
[AND Magazine] You hear a lot in certain circles about the UniParty. That’s short for the idea that there often does not seem to be much difference between the policies of establishment Republicans and establishment Democrats. They spend a lot of time posturing, but at the end of the day they seem to be more closely aligned than they want you to believe.

This phenomenon is on full display in the state of Pennsylvania right now. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Pennsylvania Democratic Party are taking action to intervene in litigation brought by a county election official. That litigation seeks to have Act 77, the bill that created mail-in voting in Pennsylvania, declared unconstitutional under the state constitution, which according to plaintiffs, requires changes to voting to be an amendment to the state’s constitution.

Here’s the kicker. Act 77 was passed by a Republican-controlled state legislature. It was, in fact, rammed through both houses by the Republican leadership. So, this bill, which the Republican establishment in Pennsylvania so desperately wanted is now to be defended by the Democratic Party.

The Democratic National Committee is riding to the rescue of the Republican establishment to protect it from a lawsuit brought by members of the Patriot base. The Democrats have arrived to save the ’country club’ Harrisburg set from the rank and file of the Republican Party in Pennsylvania.

HOW DID WE GET HERE?
In 2019 the Republican establishment in Pennsylvania decided that Donald Trump was a liability. They believed he would drag down the whole ticket in the 2020 elections. At that time Pennsylvania still had a system whereby you could cast a straight party vote. You could simply vote for all Republicans or all Democrats.

The boys in the backrooms in the state capital believed that Donald Trump was so unpopular people would show up and simply vote against all Republicans. They wanted to get rid of straight party voting and require everyone to go office by office choosing whom to vote for individually. They believed — in this way — they could insulate their down-ballot candidates from the "taint" of association with the sitting Republican President.

The party bosses wanted to cut away Donald Trump.

So, they engaged in some good old-fashioned political horse trading. In exchange for Democratic support for ending straight party voting, the Republican establishment gave the Democrats mail-in voting. Never mind that every person on the planet who had ever studied mail-in voting said it would be a disaster and an open invitation to electoral fraud. The important thing was to get clear of Donald Trump.

Act 77 was passed. The establishment got what it wanted. The Democratic Party got what it had always wanted, the ability to steal elections.

CNN Just Spent A Full Year Running Interference Cover For Hunter Biden And His Family's Corruption
[The Federalist] CNN has now spent a year running political interference for Hunter Biden and the rest of the Biden family to take viewers’ attention away from a series of reports detailing their scandalous corruption that emerged in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election.

The New York Post, which initially reported its findings on Hunter’s laptop just weeks before the election, was targeted and censored by Big Tech companies. Despite the long list of corroborating evidence, reports, and even a full-fledged government investigation into Hunter’s sketchy business and money ties, corporate media chose to smear the story as fake news and even adopted the Democrat narrative that it was somehow "Russian disinformation."

CNN, in particular, took great interest in not only amplifying Democrats’ lies that downplayed the sordid behavior captured by the Post’s reporting on the laptop, but even boosting Hunter and his dad as legitimate and trustworthy figures.

For a while, the outlet, like many others in the corrupt corporate media, refused to cover the Post’s findings that Hunter rose to the top of a Ukraine energy company while his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, served as the White House’s "public face" to the nation. When CNN finally got around to mentioning that the son of the Democrat presidential candidate may have used his dad’s ties to boost his own overseas business dealings and then offered a cut back to Joe, its anchors, reporters, and even media guests regurgitated the leftist narrative that Hunter and his now-president dad did nothing wrong.

"There’s no evidence that Hunter Biden has done anything wrong," Jake Tapper repeated numerous times during CNN’s brief and biased coverage of the scandal. "There is no evidence that anybody did anything illegal regarding the Bidens and Ukraine, and Joe Biden was carrying out US policy," he added in one segment.

Anderson Cooper, one of the outlet’s most recognizable media darlings, even interjected CNN’s scripted agenda on the Bidens during one of the Democratic presidential debates.

"President Trump has falsely accused your son of doing something wrong while serving on a company board in Ukraine. I want to point out there’s no evidence of wrongdoing by either one of you," Cooper said.

#1  He is being protected for a reason, and the reason goes far beyond Plugs. CNN's involvement provides no insight into the actual reasons (specific access and actions), but it certainly does reveal the sponsor.
Posted by: Besoeker || 10/15/2021 5:28 Comments || Top||

#2  This one is so f---ing obvious.

The facts speak for themselves:

The little maniac's primary partners were (and still are) frontmen for the Chinese military and the Chinese Communist Party.

The entity that he partnered with and that paid him millions is specifically designed to bribe, manipulate and blackmail foreign politicians.

The guy's laptop has 27,000 different files on it that together attest to his and his father's corruption; his family's chaos; and his own extraordinary recklessness and sheer depravity.

Obvious conclusion: The Bidens are in the hip pocket of the CCP.

Our intel community surely knows this. The CNN and other media assholes have surely figured this out.

The reason that they have gone to such ridiculous lengths to deny the obvious is simple: kill the Orange One. Even if it means elevating a demented Chinese stooge and his monster of a son.

Bob Woodward says he's never seen so much political strength from a former president as Trump has
I've never seen such a startling contrast between ex-president and new president. Even Carter to Reagan wasn't quite this dramatic.
About to find out what the term "grabbing a pussy" means.
[Just The News] "Trump's popularity, his power in the Republican party has grown since he left office. It has not shrunk," said Woodward.

Famed journalist Bob Woodward says he's never seen a former president retain as much political strength as Donald Trump.

"What's going on now really is an iron curtain of obedience to Trump," told CNN. "It's not just polite deference, it is obedience. And it really is an iron curtain because it's so strong."

Woodward spoke after Trump's appearance at a rally Saturday night alongside Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, a mainstream Republican running for election at age 88.

"These people, like Senator Grassley, can count," Woodward said. "They can look at the polls. They go to their home states, they talk to constituents. And there's tens of millions of people who support Trump."

During the rally, Trump awarded Grassley his customary "complete and total endorsement."

Terror Networks
Larger Middle East saw 140 terror attacks in September; Iraq and Afghanistan most stricken nations: NCS report
[AlAkhram] Up to 140 terrorist attacks were carried out in the larger Middle East through September, with Iraq and Afghanistan ranked the most exposed nations to such acts, according to a report.

A recent report by Egypt’s National Centre for Studies (NCS) on the state of terrorism in the larger Middle East during September said that 126 out of the 140 attacks were carried out in countries with political instability in the region, representing 90 percent, while 14 attacks, around 10 percent, were carried out in stable countries.

The report, the ninth by the NCS, placed Iraq at the forefront of terrorism-stricken countries, with 56 terrorist acts carried out there.

The NCS pointed out that both Afghanistan and Syria came in the second and third place in the number of attacks during the past month, with each having suffered 29 and 22 attacks respectively.

Somalia was ranked in fourth place with 16 attacks, according to the report.

The centre said such attacks receded in stable countries, including Pakistain, Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century...
, Egypt and Iran.

The report praised the efforts made by the Egyptian security apparatus in quelling terrorist group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, adding that Egypt's counterterrorism efforts have forced a great deal of this group’s members to turn themselves in.

The NCS said that all terror attacks in some of the region’s countries — which are suffering conflicts with gangs — were excluded from the report.
