China will smash U.S.
by Steve Earle
That’s what China is saying, they will smash us over Taiwan “no matter what it costs” They know Biden will be hiding in the cellar again along with all those so brave liberal “activists”. BLM and Antifa hiding behind masks, firebombing defenseless businesses will be nowhere to be seen if, and I say “IF” any calls come out for recruits to defend America from the emboldened dictators of China, Russia, and N. Korea.

Occasional Overnight Thread – Secession Fever (Across the American Political Spectrum…)

US Rejected Ukrainian Election For Stuff We’re Seeing in Michigan and Pennsylvania
You gotta love the internet. Sure, BigTech stifles search and speech, but things have a way of never going away. In 2004 US and international observers rejected an Election in Ukraine. Why? Absentee Ballot fraud. Ejecting election observers. Mail Ballot fraud. Altering electronic voting results.

The government eventually … Read more

Instead of a ‘Trade War’ German Car Makers Propose Tariff Free Trade With United States
Two weeks ago the Left was predicting a trade apocalypse after Mr. Trump said he wanted our G7 allies to drop their tariffs on US goods or he’d raise ours to match them.

The Democrat Party apocalypse tour shouted good night America! as they looked for their next world-ending Trump Derangement Syndrome induced narrative. But somewhere along the way, Germany’s largest automakers said, “hey, we’d love to end all import tariffs on cars between the EU and the US.”
