Trump’s Measured Response to China’s Economic Aggression is Needed
Trump rightly named China a “strategic competitor” in his National
Security Strategy. The U.S. Trade Representative stated that China’s
entry into the WTO was a mistake. The administration’s National Defense
Strategy called out Beijing’s use of predatory economics to coerce
neighboring nations. Chinese firms have repeatedly hacked America’s leading
companies and stolen proprietary technology to build their economy. U.S. firms
are not allowed to sell in China unless they manufacture there. American
companies are also required to transfer key technology at coercively low prices
— all in exchange for short-term market access. Then, local competitors drive
American companies out of the market. According to indictments and other court
documents, Chinese companies have stolen proprietary U.S. technology for
products including nuclear power generators, solar cells, internet software,
and internet hardware. Rather than trade fairly with U.S. suppliers, China has
favored its own companies, racking up a $375 billion trade surplus
with the United States and setting a new world record bilateral trade
imbalance. This is economic aggression. [more...]
Gunning for Religion
By
Lowell Ponte
Much of what we saw was expected at Saturday’s March for
Our Lives protests. The politics and organizers were predictably “left-wing,”
and their aim was not so much to safeguard children as to outlaw all
non-government guns. But what is most surprising is how many of the protestors
attacked the act of offering prayers in the wake of shootings… it was strange
to see so many signs specifically aimed at condemning prayer. One such voice
was former Attorney General Eric Holder, who called scornfully for radical
political action instead of “the usual... prayers.” Holder served under
President Barack Obama, who as a candidate in 2008 patronizingly told a
fundraiser of wealthy San Franciscans that working class people in flyover
country “cling to [their] guns or religion.” Why should we be surprised that
the same arrogant elite that plans to confiscate your guns also wants to demean
and destroy your religious faith? [more...]
The
Celebrities Behind the Anti-Gun March
By

Hirsen
Lending support to the recent anti-Second Amendment
march, which was misleadingly called the “March for Our Lives,” was a sizable
roster of Hollywood elites. The participating celebrities, who are routinely
shielded 24/7 by their own armed security guards, were among those who were
financing and supporting the nationwide protests. The goal in mind was a
singular one - to get other people to give up their God-given and
constitutionally protected right to defend themselves and their families with
firearms. [more...]
Facebook
is facing major backlash after reports were made that user data was harvested
for political purposes. The New York
Times and UK Media reported that more than 50 million profiles were used by
Cambridge Analytica, who was working on developing techniques that could be
used to influence voters. This began when Cambridge professor, Aleksandr Kogan,
harvested user data by having users download an app,
"thisisyourdigitallife," through their Facebook accounts. The app
offered a personality test, but also gave permission for Kogan to collect user
data. This was all allowed under the Facebook terms of use. However, Kogan
later presented the data to Cambridge Analytica, without the express consent of
Facebook, breaching the social media platform’s terms of use. Facebook became
aware of this breach and asked Cambridge Analytica to dispose of the data; but
after reports emerged, it became clear that the institution kept some of the
data collected by Kogan. [more...]
Correcting
the Washington Post’s Disgusting Narrative about Police Officers and Race
By

Hosko - President of the Law Enforcement Legal
Defense Fund/ Fmr. Assistant Director of the FBI
Last
week, the Washington Post committed
half of an entire page of newsprint to a Wesley Lowery article entitled “Police
are still killing black people. Why don’t we notice?” Lowery, as he tends to
do, works hard to keep alive the notion that police wantonly hunt and gun down
innocent blacks and now his frustration with the lack of attention on the
subject is pointed, unsurprisingly, at President Trump. He’s right on some
points, including that Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, played regularly into
the Post’s preferred theme of abusive and racist policing in America. Yet
Lowery gives more, salting his complaints with the wholly misleading dog
whistles that presumably help him make his point. He buries three seemingly
important names in his article – Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland and Freddie Gray
– each working as triggers that will get his undiscriminating readers nodding
in vapid agreement. [more...]
Will the Republican
Party Split in Two?
Forcing
the Omnibus bill on President Trump and the American people, holding the
necessary military expenditures hostage as we face a potential war with North
Korea, keeping the funding for Planned Parenthood, refusing to provide money
for the border wall and security, and the establishment Republicans essentially
passing a Democratic Party spending bill, is a tipping point in American
politics. The terrible Omnibus Bill will
result in the splitting up of the Republican Party into two new parties – the
Conservative Party and the Republican Progressive Party. This profound
and historic breakup will take a few years to take place and complete. It now
looks inevitable. Read my just released new book, More Great News for America - this is just one of eight bold predictions I make in my
new book. [more...]
