Balzuo - chinese word for people who “only care about topics such as immigration minorities, LGBT and the environment, who have no sense of real problems in the real world, who advocate for peace and equality to satisfy their own feelings of moral superiority and who are obsessed with political correctness .
Our new word for “snowflake”.
Wuhan virus -

Invasion of Illegals -
biden has lost the WaPO, which is calling the loss of control of the southern border a catastrophe. He is losing the leftist media by is gross mishandling of the situation.
The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is considering releasing illegal border crossers who claim asylum without issuing a Notice to Appear (NTA) — meaning they will depart custody without a court date, according to news reports early Sunday morning. Such a decision would be unprecedented if enacted.
Biden is also considering flying detainees to ‘northern’ states bordering Canada to ease the border crisis. There is currently no indication as to whether United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has determined which northern and coastal states could receive the reported flights. Representatives from potentially affected states are demanding clarification.
NOTE - Too bad we are entering spring here in the American Redoubt - nothing like a brisk -20 to cause folk to reassess their desire to illegally immigrate.
Now biden admin has thrown $86 million to hotels to house illegals as well.
On Saturday morning, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) took to social media and appeared to question whether Joe Biden had revealed plans “to create a crisis” at the border while pursuing the Democratic presidential nomination more than 18 months ago. Details at link.

Vladimir Putin is basically calling Biden a senile old man, China rebuffed Anthony Blinken to his face & Kim Jong Un refuses to talk to anyone from the Biden regime... but it’s good to know that America is ReSpEcTeD AgAiN.

MY OBSERVATION - I know that some may disagree with me, but then they are allowed to. My observation of the events of the last three months indicate that Patriots are keeping their powder dry at least to the extent that they are influencing their Red States to enact laws to negate unconstitutional edicts from DC. This tends to be the way of the right - work the system as a counter. However, this is IMHO the last fire wall. Should the feds/left try to crash that firewall with police state might, the right may have no other choice than to resist tyranny. These laws and edict are still working their way through congress and we may know more the future by early summer to see if the forecast is going to be hot. Remember too, things have been going crazy fast and it could hit the fan far sooner.
There are a number of announced BLM/Antifa protests across the nation this weekend. Will probably have a better breakdown of the action come Monday morning.

SA was busy last night hitting a half dozen Houthis munitions facilities. This follows more drone attacks against the Aramco facility yesterday. SA also said that they conducted airstrikes on an armored Houthis offensive in Marib, the Yemeni government’s last remaining stronghold in the north.

接觸孔 Jiēchù kǒng
Chinese word for people who cannot engage in independent thought or analysis, relagated to parroting Communist Party jingoistic slogans.
p
I know a rather large “People’s House” that is surrounded by a climb-proof fence, topped with razor wire and has a bunch of National Guard troops to provide security.
It would be an ideal place to put several thousand illegal aliens.
Wuhan virus -
Though still banned in most of Europe, AstraZeneca announced a 79% effectiveness rate in US trials.

Invasion of Illegals -
Over the weekend, more news and photos come out documenting just how screwed up the situation at the border has become due to the biden administrations bungling and virtue signaling.
The 60 day pause in the construction of the border fence ordered by biden is costing the US up to 6 million per day as part of expenses contractors are legally allowed to receive due to equipment rentals, etc. Additional costs will hit if biden chooses to cancel the projects all together.

Biden watch -
biden’s road trip to sell the latest stimulus package has ended with him calling a “lid” for the weekend and punting all the campaigning to his wife. This has raised more flags on his fineness to be president.

CW2/Domestic violence -
Saturday night in Portland’s Pearl district, Antifa showed up to share “love” with angry residents who’s neighborhood they had trashed days earlier, by staging a “clean up” march while, in another part of town, others were massing to trash the ICE headquarters.
OBSERVATION - This served a combination of efforts. One was to draw police from the ICE facility. Second was a PSYOPS event to be in the face of the residents to cement the terror, masquerading as a community aid event.
At the Washington State capitol, a peaceful rally was assaulted by BLM/Antifa and the police, as usual. refused to arrest any of the assailants.
There were numerous other protests/riots scheduled over the weekend, but the news sources are not picking them up on their radar screens. Indicator that they were minor in extent.

CANCEL CULTURE FRONT -
The Huffington Post reports:
A former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner, has launched a campaign to press American businesses to openly reject the core assertion that former President Donald Trump and many in his party continue to make, that the 2020 election was somehow illegitimate.
“The 2020 presidential election was free and fair, and produced accurate, reliable results,” reads the explanation behind the “Democracy Pledge” that Kirschner hopes to put before “every company in the country” in the coming months. “Those who sought to undermine or otherwise refused to acknowledge these results, share responsibility for the civil unrest after the election, culminating in violence at the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.”
The pledge includes a declaration of “valuing, affirming and supporting democracy,” and of affirming “that the election of Joseph R. Biden and Kamala Harris was free, fair and legitimate.”
The final piece asks companies to “not support, donate to or endorse politicians, political campaigns or political action committees that promoted false conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 presidential elections (or otherwise acted in ways contrary to a representative democracy).”
Presumably, companies that don’t comply will be exposed to the cancel mob.

Iran -
Now just coming out, Iran threatened to attack Fort McNair, which sits alongside Washington’s bustling newly developed Waterfront District. The Army has been wanting to add a buffer zone of about 250 feet to 500 feet (75 meters to 150 meters) from the shore of the Washington Channel for security reasons for several years now but has faced resistance from the DC government. The claim is that intercepted chatter from the current ‘threat’ was among members of the elite Quds Force of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and centered on potential military options to avenge the U.S. killing of the former Quds leader, Gen. Qassem Soleimani, in Baghdad in January 2020, the two intelligence officials said.
MY OPINION - Sounds like something one of these generals would make up in order to leverage against the city’s resistance. For a “Cole style attack” an under protected military base in the DC area may sound tempting, but provide little bang for the buck with so many other potential targets.

Saudi Arabia -
Saudi airstrikes apparently hit a significant Houthis rocket production facility near the Yemeni capitol of Sana. Videos of massive secondary explosions. Saudi actions are in response to a significant increase in Houthis attacks following biden’s removal from the terrorist list. MY OPINION - Removal of the houthis was to placate Iran as the Saudi’s are their chief arab opponent, second only to Israel, for dominance in the region.

Afghanistan -
US has a May 1 deadline to remove troops from Afghanistan per its agreement with the Taliban and Afghan govt. biden administration has announce that it will be difficult to meet that deadline and wants to see a ‘responsible end’. indicators from the biden administration point to US forces staying there a “lot longer”. The Taliban on Friday warned of consequences if the United States doesn’t meet the deadline. Suhail Shaheen, a member of the Taliban negotiation team, told reporters that if American troops were to stay beyond May 1, “it will be a kind of violation of the agreement. That violation would not be from our side. “Their violation will have a reaction.”

Turkey -
President Erdogan is once again practicing disruptive diplomacy. During a recent visit to Azerbaijan, he not so subtly expressed regret that Azerbaijani territory is divided. It was a shot at Iran’s religious dictatorship. What was once southern Azerbaijan is now under Iranian control and Iran wants to keep it that way. The area has many ethnic Azeris and the Azeris that are a Turkic people/descent, so Erdogan could be polishing his pan-Turkic credentials. Some analysts believe that these actions may indicate that Turkey is going to confront Iran in the near future. Iran supports Turkish separatist PKK (Kurdistan Workers Party) militias who have been fighting against Turkey since the early 1980s. Turkish and Iranian proxy groups most recently butted heads in northwestern Syria (Idilb) area.

Venezuela -
The country is literally running out of physical cash as hyperinflation rocks the nation. Banks allow withdrawals of a max 400,000 Bolivars - the US equivalent of twenty cents. Earlier in March Venezuela’s central bank announced it was introducing a new 1-million-bolivar bill to facilitate transactions. The problem is Venezuela’s printing presses can no longer keep up with the hyperinflation. Inflation was 3,000 percent as of January, according to the state’s central bank, following years of hyperinflation that peaked at 10 million percent in 2018. Making matters worse, part of the problem also appears to stem from the fact that Venezuela can’t even obtain enough paper to print new banknotes. Venezuela’s woes have made American investors very nervous because they see many of the precursors in the US system that drove venezuela’s crash.

Black Swans -
Food Shortages are one of the big issues that can cause global instability. Australia is the epicenter for the latests outbreak of issues - largely food related as it supplies a lot of food to the asian region. A massive mice infestation in Queensland and New South Wales has caused some farmers to lose their entire crops. In New South Wales (NSW), massive flooding has hit, destroying even more crops.
