...raising fears of espionage and sabotage by communist agents.
- "It is concerning due to the proximity to strategic locations," retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Robert S. Spalding III told the Post. His work focuses on U.S.-China relations.
- "These locations can be used to set up intelligence collection sites and the owners can be influential in local politics as we have seen in the past," he said. "It is alarming we do not have laws on the books that would prevent the Chinese from buying property in the U.S."
- Using farming as a cover, Chinese landowners could use radar and infra-red scanning to view bases, install tracking technology, conduct reconnaissance, and attempt to fly drones over installations, the Post's sources said.
- The Wall Street Journal reported in September that there were more than 100 attempts to breach military facilities by Chinese nationals in recent years, including entering a missile range in New Mexico and scuba divers who were found near a rocket-launch site in Florida...

Breaking news, CNN: We are a republic, not a democracy | Blaze Media:
We need to explain this to people. You need to understand that democracy is a very important part of our republic, but democracy alone is not what we are. We are a democratic republic. We vote for the people to represent us.
The Founders were careful to take human nature into account. Human nature is naturally swayed by feelings and emotion. That’s why the Constitution is written to restrain the government so those in power can't make every decision for you by exploiting the masses’ emotions — like they’re trying to.
Soooo, the rest of our allies/customers???-----US will redirect air defense inceptor missiles to Ukraine that other allies had on order
Kirby said the U.S. had taken the “difficult but necessary decision to reprioritize near-term planned deliveries of foreign military sales to other countries,” though he wouldn't say which nations would be affected or how many.
- “Everything we have is going to go to Ukraine until their needs are met,” Biden said. “And then we will make good on the commitments we made to other countries.”
- The number of interceptors to be sent isn't clear but Kirby said it could involve “hundreds” of Patriot interceptor missiles.
- Kirby said the move means “a range of countries” will face delays in receiving missile systems that are being diverted to Ukraine but that the shift would not affect Taiwan or what it “continues to need and receive for self-defense" in the face of potential threats from China...

Arizona Schools Are Bearing the Cost of Biden's Border Crisis
Arizona Schools Are Bearing the Cost of Biden's Border Crisis:
The exponential rise in illegal immigration has drastically altered the education policy landscape for local communities in Arizona, especially concerning school enrollments and associated costs and challenges. Unfortunately, state taxpayers are being forced to pay for the financial consequences of Biden’s refusal to uphold the fundamental rule of law and safeguard America’s borders. Education is a state, not a federal, issue. It’s time for Arizona — and all states — to take back control of their education policy and costs.
U.S. House moves to declare Pelosi's partisan Jan. 6 committee illegitimate | WND | by Bob Unruh

And the committee also ignored House rules requiring committees provide equal time for majority and minority members asking questions.
His statement explained, the committee "spent hours rehearsing ahead of time so they could put on Stalinist show-[trials] for the American people. Bottom line: The committee was used as a political weapon with a singular focus on taking down Trump and his advisors through the intentional manipulation of facts and the silencing of the minority party. It was procedurally flawed from the start."
Victor Davis Hanson - Anatomy of a Full Leftwing Meltdown
The media is afire with warnings of the impending Trump “dictatorship”.
- Celebrities, the Squad, and Biden administration grandees vie to conjure up the most nightmarish things that Trump might do to them.
- What drives their current mounting hysteria?
1) The Left feels it may be heading to an historic 1972 McGovern-like or 1980 Carteresque blowout...
2) It knows that a first-term novice Trump had a successful four years, and that he now is savvier four years later—and far more likely and able to overturn the entire four-year Biden catastrophe and thus enjoy an even more successful second term.
3) It fears that all it did to destroy democracy—the Russian collusion hoax, the Russian disinformation laptop farce, the two first-term impeachments the moment the Republicans lost the House, the Senate trial of ex-President Trump as a private citizen, the effort to remove Trump from state ballots, and the five criminal and civil show trials designed to bankrupt the leading presidential candidate and keep him off the campaign trail—might boomerang on the Left...
