Yea, looking from my vantage point Bolton seems like a war monger. Talking tough is great and all but he doesn’t seem to WANT peace. You’ll note that when Trump talks tough, talks about water boarding etc. I never get the sense that he wants war but that he’ll defend the country. Big difference.
This is either brilliant or disastrous.....to keep the Turtle on a short chain, and a choke collar I hope.
The Chao Family is HORRIBLE!!!!....but Trump’s genius is a 3-D Chess Strategy....
I do trust what Trump is doing....possibly killing 2 birds with 1 stone....Mitch on a short leash and China on notice
Keep you Enemies close....and all that....
Brilliant thought!.....conflict of interest....Brilliant thought...Who is going to pull the lever on that?
Not Trump...but someone else.....the pressure on the Turtle will be immense.
"Chao criticized the prosecution of Huang in the Chinagate scandal as racially motivated."
"But theres much, much more."
"When she served the conservative Heritage Foundation as Asian studies adviser, a military analyst who sounded warnings about Chinese threats to U.S. security was shown the door, WND reported at the time."
"Does anyone even remember Chinagate? WND reported back in 2001 that a review of financial assets held by Chao and her husband, McConnell, reveals she has served as a director of an insurance company that jointly owns a Lippo Group subsidiary with the Chinese government. Indonesia-based Lippo is controlled by the Riady family and was at the center of the Clinton Chinagate fundraising scandal."
"Lippo chief executive James T. Riady agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge of defrauding the U.S. government by funneling donations to the campaign of Bill Clinton and others."
"Senate financial-disclosure records show that Chao held a seat on the board of Protective Life Corp., which owns 50 percent of CRC Protective Life Insurance. Lippo co-owns the rest of the Hong Kong-based unit with China Resources Holdings Co., an intelligence-gathering front company for Chinas Peoples Liberation Army."
The former Chinese Communist Party boss Jiang Zemin is a close family friend of Elaine Chaos, and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has praised her father for building up Chinas industry. (Shipping to and from China is the Chao family business.) Lest we forget, Jiang Zemin is the hardliner who took power following the Tienanmen Square massacre and is notorious for repressing religious minorities and Tibetans. Jiangs been indicted for genocide and is fighting to hold on to his corrupt fiefdom in Shanghai. Some friend.
So what has Chao been up to more recently?
Chao served on the board of directors of Bloomberg Philanthropies, the foundation started by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, another anti-Trumper who flirted with the notion of running a third-party candidacy against him. Bloomberg gives the Sierra Clubs Beyond Coal campaign $50 million a year. The objective? To end the countrys reliance on dirty coal, plant-by-plant, community-by-community, state-by-state. Trump promised to put the coal miners back to work.
Chao has also served on the board of Wells Fargo, which has bankrolled anti-coal efforts. Ironic since McConnells home state is Kentucky coal country.
Chao was selected by Bush to head the Labor Department after his first choice, Linda Chavez, withdrew from consideration over charges she harbored an illegal alien in 1992. Chao, 63, a Taiwanese immigrant, has also served as chairwoman of the Federal Maritime Commission. She became director of the Peace Corps in 1991 and led the United Way of America from 1992-1996.
One thing is for certain: She wont have any trouble getting Senate confirmation. Even her husband says he wont abstain from voting for her."

Just picked? You were several hours and numerous posts late to the party.
I was too busy working on my kitten gate, to keep the ever-curious and ever-hungry Zizu out from underfoot in my kitchen. I still have to put the decorative molding over the mending plates securing the gate's frame to the walls, but this gives you an idea. I designed it to be built out of PVC tubing. Tonight, I field tested it by cooking chicken---CHICKEN, Zizu--and yowza! She could not enter the kitchen. I could safely walk from one end to the other without stepping on a small cat or tripping over same.
That response is awesome. :-)
