MEGHAN MCCAIN: Communist China poisoned the world with COVID, runs concentration camps, and brutalizes its people. But the spineless global community allows them to host the Olympic games. I am repulsed and won't be tuning in

#1 I guess my problem with Meghan is her family last name MCCAIN.

She still has a public and personal political mountain to climb before she is her own person.

Until the, she'll just be seen by many, as just another Political Family Elitist child riding the coat-tales of Daddy or Mommy.

#2 You could probably call her a sunshine patriot, all in for America as long as Trump is out. OTOH, she casts a large shadow. Not as big as Boxcar Abrams, but awful big for a woman.

#8 I beat her to it. I haven't watched the Olympic political theater in 30 years.

#9 This year, "olympic athletes" are being warned about their comms while in China, and the Chinese themselves have said that undesirable speech by participants will be dealt with harshly.

Remember when the media made a big deal about how many condoms were being handed out to the jocks and jockettes? Good times...

#11 I'll take this as good news ... maybe even part of a trend

Intel Corp. said it plans to invest at least $20 billion in new chip-making capacity in Ohio, bolstering the company’s semiconductor-production ambitions as greater demand for digital products and a global chip shortage have amplified the need for more manufacturing.

Intel said Friday it would invest in two new chip factories just outside Columbus, Ohio, to add to Intel’s effort to expand its chip-making business. The company has made more than $100 billion in investment pledges over the past year. Intel Chief Executive Pat Gelsinger said the site could eventually grow to accommodate eight chip factories, also known as FABs, with spending potentially reaching around $100 billion over the next decade.

Intel will make some of its most cutting-edge processors at the new site, Mr. Gelsinger said in an interview. Planning for the first two factories will start immediately, with construction expected to begin late in 2022, he said, and production is expected to come online in 2025. The company also pledged $100 million toward partnerships with educational institutions to build a pipeline of talent and bolster research programs in the [Columbus OH] region.

#12 Maybe our elites are finally getting the message: end their insane embrace of China. Stop offshoring and bring manufacturing back home.

Decouple us from that global rival that wishes us nothing but ill. Finally.

#13 The "elites" maybe don't get it at all. But a huge company like Intel probably would like to count on its capital investments being at least somewhat secure. It's a start.

#16 True-ish story...

"K2 from Japan! Arigato!"
But what was that smell? Chinese natto,
From Walmart with love,
That I took with a glove,"
Cried the radioactive castrato.

#17 with a glove

Though, just to be clear, not like that.

#18 Did I just agree with a McCain?

No; she is finally catching on and agreeing with, giving homage to, or at least mouth, the correct moral thinking crowd.

Who in the hell watches the winter olympics anyway?

Criissakes mahn, the commercials are awful. "Ice Dancing Guy Has Incredibly Strong Legs Thrusts, so Tune In."

#19 I get her hating Trump for dissing her dad. Even though War Drums Johnny needed dissed. She traded on it outside the family loyalty angle. That's the problem.

#20 Sinema has been censured by the Arizona democratic party. I wonder if lefties are getting as much satisfaction as they did from the Wyoming Republican party censuring Lizard Cheney.

#21 Bi-partisan satisfaction.

#22 #4 Ouch, that hurts. I agree with McCain on this. Biden admin. has sold out to the Chicoms. Bring manufacturing back home to USA. Glad to see Intel building new chip plants in Ohio. We need to get back to energy independence to support a healthy economy.
