President Trump Declares National Emergency For Information and Communication Technology…
The Conservative Treehouse - The Last Refuge ^ | May 15, 2019 | sundance

Here we go…. President Trump is laying the groundwork to ban telecommunication companies based on identified risk to national security (ie. Huawei). Nations who engage in 5-G technology agreements are on notice they may be cut-off from communication partnerships with the U.S.A.

I further find that the unrestricted acquisition or use in the United States of information and communications technology or services designed, developed, manufactured, or supplied by persons owned by, controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of foreign adversaries augments the ability of foreign adversaries to create and exploit vulnerabilities in information and communications technology or services, with potentially catastrophic effects, and thereby constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.

I am posting from a phone. It is very difficult to copy and paste from a phone. That is why I sometimes excerpt. Have you ever tried it? You can get a screen full easily enough, but an entire article is practically impossible

This is the sanest thing I have seen in 40 years. President Trump has just told the Communists that This Capitalist Will Not Sell You the Rope with Which You Will Hang Us.

Nice...

Some people forget they are still Communists.

I won’t forget. They murdered tens of millions of their own people, and will do it again if it is necessary to them.

Some people think they have changed...people like you and I know...they haven’t.

“Some people forget they are still Communists. ... Some people think they have changed...people like you and I know...they haven’t.”

My husband and I met at a little church in Hawaii. Our very first conversation was about evil China. It’s our 24th wedding anniversary today. So for us “they” haven’t changed in at least 24 years.

It is the people who think they have changed who are, at this time, most dangerous.

BTW, congratulations on your anniversary...:)
