Garbo: If true, it’s the greatest violation of American sovereignty in modern history

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice According to new reports, the FBI has obtained intelligence confirming that China has produced and distributed fake U.S. driver’s licenses to facilitate fraudulent mail-in ballot voting. Let that sink in. If true, this is not just foreign interference in our elections; it is a coordinated attack on American sovereignty. And the gravity of such a revelation cannot be overstated. This would represent not only a betrayal by a foreign adversary but a failure, or worse, a complicity within our own institutions. What’s worse is the possibility that this operation didn’t occur in a vacuum. It may have been aided, ignored, or tolerated by political actors here at home. If so, we’re not just looking at corruption. We’re looking at tre...

FBI Suppressed Evidence of CCP 2020 Election Plot, Sources Say

By Matt Margolis | PJ Media There’s been a new, disturbing development in the case of the Chinese plot to interfere in the 2020 election. As PJ Media previously reported, on Monday, FBI Director Kash Patel handed Congress an intelligence report exposing a Chinese plot to interfere in the 2020 election. The report details how Chinese operatives mass-produced fake U.S. driver’s licenses to flood the system with fraudulent mail-in ballots, which helped Joe Biden in the process. However, the intel wasn’t investigated, corroborated, or acted on. In fact, it was quietly pulled from intelligence agencies even as then-FBI Director Chris Wray told Congress there were “no known plots” of foreign interference. retty bad, right? It gets worse. The report was sent out on Aug. 24, 2020, but ...

Intel Erased: FBI Told Agencies to Destroy China Election Plot Evidence

By John Solomon | Just the News Memo turned over by FBI Director Kash Patel to Sen. Chuck Grassley details plot to use fake driver’s licenses to swing 2020 election to Democrat's favor. Aconfidential human source told FBI counter-intelligence in summer 2020 that China’s communist government was shipping fake driver’s licenses to the United States to manufacture “tens of thousands of fraudulent mail-in votes” for Joe Biden, according to a raw intelligence report distributed to federal agencies that was reviewed by Just the News. The report – one of two sent Monday by FBI Director Kash Patel to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley – was sent to U.S. intelligence agencies on Aug. 24, 2020, as an uncorroborated advisory, then suddenly recalled with little explanation oth...

Neurologists on a vaccine team? China’s early COVID patent fuels cover-up suspicions

By Steven Richards and John Solomon | Just The News One of the smoking guns in the ongoing Trump administration probe into the COVID-19 cover-up is evidence suggesting that the Chinese suspected the novel virus may have neurological symptoms just weeks after it was officially identified, despite the fact that coronaviruses, historically, primarily affect the respiratory and digestive systems.  Specifically, two scientists listed as authors on the first Chinese patent for a COVID-19 vaccine—that remarkably came about a month after the virus crossed the border into the U.S.—are affiliated with a neuroscience institute in Beijing that works closely with the Chinese military.  The presence of these two researchers on the early 2020 vaccine patent in China is puzzling to federal i...

Mosher: China blinked — and Trump clearly won the first round of his tariff war

By Steven W. Mosher | New York Post, Commentary The opening round of the tariff war with China is over. And earlier this week, President Trump achieved a very clear win.  The president had Chinese leader Xi Jinping on the ropes. Trump’s 145% tariffs on Chinese goods landed a crushing blow to Beijing’s economy, already staggering under the weight of rising unemployment, unsustainable debt, and rising bankruptcies. But instead of giving China a knockout punch, Trump decided to hit the pause button. And it’s worth asking why. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE NEW YORK POST

Hyten: To beat China, keep Space Command fully operational

By John Hyten | The Gazette, Commentary At the Space Symposium in Colorado last month, one topic stood out: the possibility of moving Space Command out of Colorado Springs. As the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when the decision to move the command to Huntsville, Ala., was made in 2021, I’m concerned that relocating Space Command would threaten our national security. At the end of his first term, President Donald Trump decided to move Space Command to Huntsville. The decision was lawfully made, based on the results of an Air Force basing study and only constrained by lack of funding (i.e., billions never appropriated by Congress). My best military advice at the time (granted, a minority opinion) was to leave the command in Colorado due to the significant space threats ema...

US and China agree to slash tariffs temporarily after trade talks

By Emily Crane and Diana Glebova | New York Post The United States and China agreed Monday to a 90-day truce in their raging trade war — with each agreeing for now to slash reciprocal tariffs by more than 100 percentage points, bringing China’s duty rate down to just 10%. Under the agreement, the US will drop its 145% tariff rate on most Chinese goods to 30%, while China will lower its rate to 10% from 125%, officials said.   The agreement also includes a mechanism for talks toward a permanent deal to continue — and the two sides spoke about how they will both address the flow of fentanyl from China to the US, a White House readout of the agreement read. At the White House Monday, President Trump confirmed that 25% tariffs on cars, steel and aluminum re...

Trump floats slashing China tariffs ahead of key meeting

By David Zimmermann | National Review President Donald Trump on Friday floated reducing tariffs on China to 80 percent, down from the current 145 percent total, as Washington and Beijing officials prepare for an important meeting this weekend. Trump indicated a lower tariff rate in a post on Truth Social, saying an “80% Tariff on China seems right!” The president added it remains “up to” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in negotiating a lower levy, though. Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer traveled to Geneva, Switzerland, where they will meet with their Chinese counterparts. The meeting marks the first meaningful step toward resolving the trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies since the U.S. slapped tariffs on China. READ THE FULL ...

Rare Earth minerals affected by China export ban used in EVs, green energy, and military tech

By John Hayward | Breitbart China has restricted the export of several crucial rare earth minerals to the United States in response to President Donald Trump’s tariff increases. The restrictions come up short of a total ban, but they will probably slow the delivery of minerals needed by defense, energy, and electronics companies. The term “rare earth minerals” is sometimes used broadly to refer to all valuable or unusual minerals, but in fact it refers to a specific list of 17 metallic elements. Fifteen of them are lanthanides, meaning they occupy a specific region of the periodic table of the elements that begins with lanthanum (atomic number 57). The lanthanides all share similar atomic structure and chemical behavior, so the grouping is not arbitrary. READ THE FULL STORY AT...

China halts Boeing jet orders

By Pilar Arias  | Fox Business Chinese airlines have been ordered not to take any further deliveries of Boeing aircraft in response to the U.S. imposing 145% tariffs on Chinese goods, Bloomberg News reports.  Just before 7 a.m. EST, Boeing's pre-market share stock price was down 3.72%.   The aerospace company calls itself a "top U.S. exporter" that serves "customers in more than 150 countries." Boeing's year-to-date deliveries show that 18 aircraft have been delivered to nine airlines in China. The country's top three airlines – Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines – have plans to take delivery of 45, 53 and 81 Boeing planes, respectively, between 2025-2027, Reuters reports.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX BUSINESS
