Bring It, Chairman Moolenaar

Michigan Congressman John Moolenaar is a national treasure. He chairs the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party and works tirelessly to counter what the CCP calls its “unrestricted warfare” against us.
Yesterday, Chairman Moolenaar took action. He wrote two of our country’s top financiers, JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon and Bank of America’s Brian Moynihan, and demanded that they stop their investment banks’ joint efforts to raise over $7 billion for a Chinese military and slave-labor exploiting company known as CATL.
It is, as the Godfather would say, “an offer they can’t refuse.” Should Messrs. Dimon and Moynihan fail to disengage from thus “funding our own demise,” the chairman will require them to provide extensive documentation about this transaction that will expose the degree to which such “old friends” of China are knowingly betraying and endangering America.
Bring it!

Welcome to World Government

In less than a month, world government will be imposed on us indirectly, if not directly, thanks to a new pandemic treaty the World Health Organization finalized yesterday and plans to adopt and make legally binding in mid-May – with profound implications for public health, personal freedoms and national sovereignty.
If you liked how the COVID-19 crisis was handled – in large measure thanks to the incompetence and malfeasance of the WHO and the insidious influence of the perpetrator, the Chinese Communist Party, and the principal beneficiary, Big Pharma – you’re going to love this new world order.
Among its consequences will be: universal health IDs, vaccine mandates, obligatory censorship, technology transfers, open-ended financial costs and the proliferation of viruses with the potential to cause pandemics – all “managed” by greatly empowered and unaccountable international bureaucrats.

Yesterday, two senior advisors to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth were physically escorted from the Pentagon and put on administrative leave, reportedly in connection with an investigation of leaks of sensitive national security information.
Both are among a small number of individuals who previously worked for organizations funded by an anti-Trump libertarian billionaire named Charles Koch. Unsurprisingly, his employees have been associated, like him, with foreign policies described as “restraint.” In practice, they often amount to “retreat,” or even “defeatism.”
Donald Trump resolved to avoid again hiring personnel opposed to his policies. Before returning to the White House, he actually declared that Koch alumni “need not apply” for jobs in his second administration.
It would be a good idea to revisit the decisions that ignored the president’s sensible direction, and hire instead staff who – like his Cabinet – espouse robust America First policies.

MS-13's Garcia is No "Maryland Man"

Have you heard about “the Maryland man” improperly deported to El Salvador? If you haven’t, it’s not because the media isn’t working overtime to bring his case to your attention.
Unfortunately, such reporting is an information operation. It reflects a determined effort to obscure the status of not only Kilmar Abrego Garcia, but others like him unlawfully present in the United States.
Open-borders advocates and journalists have relentlessly transformed such illegal aliens into “undocumented immigrants,” then simply “migrants” and now residents of whatever American state they currently live in.
U.S. judges twice determined Garcia is a member of El Salvador’s MS-13, which is a designated foreign terrorist organization, meaning he had to be deported. The Supreme Court unanimously affirmed that a district judge here can’t compel his return from El Salvador.
President Trump has a mandate to deport illegal aliens. Get it done.

It seems we have reached an inflection point in the fight to adopt what President Trump has called an “America First Investment Policy”: Last week, two influential Wall Street financiers appear to have broken with their colleagues’ determination to continue investing in China first.
Friday morning, Shark Tank personality Kevin O’Leary objected to the unfairness of Communist Chinese companies enjoying privileged access to U.S. capital markets. He demanded that Paul Atkins, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s newly confirmed chairman, ensure that they instead comply with our laws and regulations – just as O’Leary’s companies and everybody elses’ must.
Later that day, BlackRock chairman Larry Fink declared that “nefarious” Chinese companies should be delisted from our capital markets. If he now walks the walk, and divests his company’s vast holdings propping up Xi Jinping’s regime, we may finally stop underwriting our enemy.

The CCP's Next Attack Vector - the Arctic?

In May 2019, the Chinese Communist Party publicly declared a “People’s War” on the United States after decades of “unrestricted warfare” against us. Throughout, it has been building up the power and reach of its military, incredibly with American funding and technology.
The CCP’s aggressive response to President Trump’s efforts to end its predatory trade practices have further underscored an insight millions of Americans gleaned from Xi Jinping’s COVID biological warfare attack: His regime is willing to use physical violence against us, as well.
That prospect compels us to take urgent stock of ways in which it might do so, and emerging vectors of attack. A PresentDangerChina.org webinar today will examine preparations the Chinese and their Russian allies are making to exploit the Arctic for this purpose – and President Trump’s urgent focus on the role played by Greenland and Canada in countering such threats.
