Chinese Spy In Feinstein’s Office Was Associated With Pro-CCP Group
Related to this report from yesterday.
[AND] A number of recent news articles have addressed the fact that funding for at least a portion of the activities of the Black Lives Movement (BLM) is coming from a pro-China group called the Chinese Progressive Association (CPA). That is absolutely true. It also does not begin to grasp the enormity of what is going on.

The group in question — the CPA — traces its roots to the I Wor Kuen (IWK) organization in the early 1970’s in New York City. The IWK was formed by ethnic Chinese living in the city. At a time when most Chinese organizations in this country were anti-Communist, the IWK distinguished itself from the outset by being closely aligned with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The name of the IWK in Chinese is taken from the name of a hard boy Chinese organization in China from the early 1900’s, which was dedicated to ridding China of foreign influence.

Not long after its founding, the IWK spread to the Socialist paradise of San Francisco

Fifth Column
The Antifa Industry at Work
[AmGreatness] When, in 2008, then-candidate Barack Obama’s career as a community organizer was lampooned at the Republican National Convention, few understood what the words meant. Most sympathetic voices in the media stressed "community," evoking images of soup kitchens, clinics, and shelters. Republicans had every reason to look more darkly at what this kind of work meant and, probably due to Obama’s race, were inclined to associate the candidate’s time "organizing" in Chicago with New York racial demagogues and shakedown-artists like Al Sharpton.

That description was closer to the mark, but the full truth was deeper and considerably more sophisticated; left-wing organizing is a robust intellectual universe. Thanks largely to talk radio, conservatives soon learned the name Saul Alinsky and began to digest his now-infamous Rules for Radicals.

After several brilliant investigative pieces into Obama’s time among left-wing organizing meccas like the Northwest Academy, Stanley Kurtz wrote the valuable Radical-in-Chief. Unfortunately, for much of the public, the thread frayed shortly after the election that November; emboldened by Democratic control of both houses of Congress, the newly elected Obama would use what he’d learned from Chicago activism to instigate and win battles on more pressing political issues.

#1  >In other words, forces arrayed against the president’s reelection should abandon the American political system—and pin their hopes of election victory not on the Constitution-mandated quest for the most electoral votes, but upon the street mobilization and direct-action capabilities of Antifa and the Left’s other professionally-staffed organizing groups.

I immediately saw a flash of the end of the movie "billion dollar Brain".

#3  If the state authorities can't keep the peace then declare Martial law and invoke the Insurrection Act. Send in federalized National guard troops from neighboring states and try all those arrested under military tribunals.

Don't Get Tricked! This Halloween-themed ad is BRILLIANT and TERRIFYING.
[The Right Scoop] Sure, the ’Weekend at Biden’s ad was terrific. I laughed. It was well put together. But THIS one, while shorter and more to the point, is just plain genius.

I don’t even know who makes these types of things anymore. PACs? Campaigns? What difference, at this point, does it make? Just enjoy it, I say. You’ll thank me.

Can the Biden campaign last one more week?
[American Thinker] The Biden laptop scandal is the biggest October surprise in modern political history. The Biden campaign is in crisis — and it could, and should, cost him the election.

No longer is Biden the "sweet old Uncle Joe" of days gone by. While the 77-year-old seems more genteel at times than the 74-year-old tough-talking Trump, this isn't about Trump being "bad" and Biden being "better." This is about Biden's very big crisis — a crisis he cannot dismiss by calling it "garbage," "a smear," or "a set-up."

Never mind his problematic policies on gun control, the border, and energy. Americans don't want the corrupt in power. It's that simple. If Hillary Clinton's foundation peddled access to her when she was secretary of state; this is much worse. How could a compromised Biden ever stand up to countries like China and Russia, which have already paid his family millions?

While the Biden campaign may seem steady, this growing crisis has shaken its foundation. While readers of my books know I've been a Trump-supporter, I didn't see all of this coming when I wrote God, Trump, and the 2020 Election before the primaries — but this changes everything.

In the midst of a bitter faceoff between President Donald Trump — who's kept his promises as president despite fierce Democratic opposition, protected religious freedom and constitutional rights — and former vice president Joe Biden, along comes unmistakable proof that the Bidens have been involved in a deceptive web that includes selling influence and enriching the family. Americans now have a major reason not to vote for Joe Biden.

#1  Trump should ask Biden if he can hide for a week while President?

When times are tough, Trump goes on attack while Biden hides...

NOW THAT'S a differentiator any thinking American should consider.
Posted by: Bright Pebbles || 10/28/2020 5:28 Comments || Top||

#2  regarding the hiding... Rush suggested that Biden might suffer from sundowner syndrom or something (it's been discussed here before, you know what I mean) and taking 5 days off before the debate was an intentional gambit to shift his day so that he'd be as awake as possible. Then naturally he called a lid afterwards to shift backwards.

So he may not be hiding from the Hunter stuff so much as hiding from the dementia sundowner stuff (embrace the power of and).

Sucks for biden that things are being exposed while he's sleeping.

#3  If this really is a reprise of Reagan v. Mondale, it won't matter. If Joe somehow gets elected, Kamela will make sure it still doesn't matter.

#5  of course the Biden family has been getting favors for 40 years

Hunter got a cushy gig with MBNA right out of law school, then a cushy gig in federal service, etc. while the others have had not as cushy stuff. This has been known for many years. Biden was even called the Senator from MBNA.

Any of the other Dems could have destroyed Biden with this stuff during the pre nomination process but they didn't.

#6  They claimed Trump's family trades on the man's office - but it's actually Biden's family who sold access to VP Biden to tge Chinese Communists and to thieves across Russia Ukraine Romania Oman Kazakhstan ...

They accused Trump and his people of lying -- all the while lying about him with their bullshit documents concocted out of nothing -- and now we have solid documentary evidence and eyewitness testimony from the Bidens' hand-picked CEO that Biden is blatantly lying about nit being involved in his family's corrupt influence-peddling ventures.

They fabricated preposterous claims that Trump was an agent of Russia -- and now we have massive evidence that Biden is compromised by his family's entanglement with their Chinese Communist Party and PLA-affiliated business partners.

They claim Trump is degrading the office -- and now we have hundreds of photos videos and obscene, deranged, vitriolic texts and emails from the Biden Crime Family front man, a berserk crack addict who ran around the world selling his dad's access to the Obama White House.

Who banged his dead brother's widow and appears to have been hitting on his 14 year-old niece.

Who is 100% a walking national security risk.

Literally EVERYTHING our media shitheads falsely claimed about Trump is actually true about Biden. Corrupt influence-peddler. Serial liar. Despicable scumbag family.

This is completely surreal. Will they get away with it?

#7  This is completely surreal. Will they get away with it?

If they win, yes.

If not, they will more and more enter the realm of inconsequential and fade to little more than a minor buzz on some minor channel.

#9  Are the Dems really going to drag Biden over the finish line when stuff like this is public?

Obama is out there hustling like his name is on the laptop.

Flineque Cleaper1552, I am shocked. Jill Biden was the one talking about his behaviour?

Posted by: trailing wife || 10/28/2020 23:19 Comments || Top||

#15  I took it as the widow Biden is on the warpath about Hunter and her daughter, and Jill is forbidding Hunter to be alone w/ the child:

Hunter Biden sent the following text to a family friend where he shares that someone is accusing him of being sexually inappropriate around her daughter. "... tell people I'm sexually inappropriate with her daughter"

and

In another text message from Hunter to a family friend, Hunter shares that his mother, Jill Biden, propagates the claims that Hunter is sexually inappropriate around the children and VP Joe Biden is aware as well:

Biden Did Sell His Soul to the Chinese
[My Fellow Patriots] Joe Biden and his creepy family have surrounded themselves with layers of corruption that they can no longer hide. The longer Biden remains in politics, the more in-depth and more comprehensive that circle gets. His brother was accused of using Biden’s name to land contracts for himself. His son used his father to get a board position with a significant Ukraine gas company. He has corrupt dealings with other countries around the world that are not friendly with the United States.

All of the corruption that he has done has been done while he was in politics. Biden allows his name to influence deals just about anywhere on the planet. These deals are illegal and in violation of his oath of office. His son Hunter Biden is just the latest snake to be caught bullying people to give him what he wants out of them.

The Democrats are not as innocent with their dealings with Biden. They work hard to cover for the sad little man. They used a made-up story about Russian collusion to hide Biden’s dealings with Ukraine. They even tried to make it look like President Trump was to blame for all the mischief that took place when Biden was vice president.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
The Sudan - Israel normalization deal hurts Iran the most
[Jpost] It is both an ideological and logistical blow.

Why would Allah help Israel like this if Allah is promoting the rise of the next Shii’te empire?
If round one was some cute but small cymbals percussion, round two has hit the Islamic Theocratic Republic with a giant vibrating thud like from a giant gong percussion drum.

Of all of the normalization deals that have happened to date and that are likely to happen in the very near future (presuming a deal with the Saudis is not immediate), the Sudan deal hurts Iran by far the most.
