Democrat Senator FineSwine had a Chinese SPY as her driver for 12+ yrs.

Were they her handler too, and why wasn't her entire staff and family investigated as well?

Sounds good to me. I always try to avoid buying Chinese stuff but the problem is that almost everything is made in China or one of its proxies. We just need to get manufacturing, development and everything we do in any field back to here US.

I just retired from the Department of Defense at the end of the year - ALL of the laptop computers we had (Defense Finance and Accounting Service) were Lenovo. We used to joke that we got Lenovo computers so the Chinese wouldn’t have to install after-market spyware.

Now can we stop the past 50 years of pretending that we are somehow even remotely friends with a mutual trust and instead realize we have enriched a deadly enemy?

Did a Chinese Foreign Minister Admit COVID-19 Came from a Lab? PJ Media ^ | 04/29/2020 | Stacey Lennox

Senator Tom Cotton was roundly ridiculed and branded a conspiracy theorist for saying that the Wuhan coronavirus may have come from a lab. There was an immediate false equivalence that he was accusing China of releasing an engineered bioweapon. That was never what he said, so we lived through weeks of China’s preferred “bat soup” story that insisted the virus came from a wet market.

HERE IS WHAT ELSE THEY DIDN’T DO/sarc
Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.

Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present his name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.

Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.

The way this whole thing developed starting with the Italian fashion industry areas controlled by the Chinese commies hit by a runaway CCWV (Chinese Communist Wuhan Virus) breakout occurred in Wuhan the politburo closed off Wuhan but did not warn the Italian Socialist government or the Pope with whom the Chinese government had good relations with.

But certainly violated that understanding when the socialists should have been informed and allowed to deny those Chinese workers who replaced Italians in those factories taken over by the Chinese travel to and from China particularly for their New Year while this was occurring.

Where they seem to have done almost the same here with Smithfield Pork processing after the Chinese were hit with swine flu which destroyed their pork industry by their takeover of Smithfield Pork processing. When learning of the Wuhan shutdown Trump cut off China air travel with the exception of only allowing American citizens returning..But was immediately attacked by CNN and the alphabet media outlets as a racist Republican action.

Sure looks suspicious particularly when crews of US naval vessels somehow wind up being infected by it while visiting certain Asian ports before that showed up in Italy.

But to stop the return of manufacturing of products back to the US that went to China. China backers here who’s family members are making millions from China through their political connections will be hit hard are also claiming that Trump’s alleged stock ownership in a quinine pills maker claim its a controlling interest in a product to be totally ineffective and when used requires a severe restriction of movement when near a possible carrier known as a shutdown because of its alleged rapid transmission spread by our media.

Ain’t that the damn truth.

Looks like a wonderful opportunity to bring back the bulk of our manufacturing.... let’s call it infrastructure.... and let them waller in their own filth.

Require all electronics used by DoD to be US manufactured. For those systems that we use that are of foreign design to be produced in United States under license. Some exceptions can be made for solid allies. For example the ELTA 2080 radar for the Arrow system was jointly developed by Israel and the United States.

I think Walmart will have to shut down soon because I don’t think any of their products are USA made anymore. I guess apple phones are toast too.....

“when I start to say..”hey guys, something ain’t right here” about 5 years ago FR still had a lot of the blind like i was.”

All of us are in various states of learning.... like to learn at least one new thing daily.

From time to time, there are things which I wish I hadn’t read.

Ignorance is bliss and all that.

“I think Walmart will have to shut down soon...”

Got no sympathy for WalSmart as I remember the days of the Mom & Pop Stores which were unmercifully vanquished.

At least those stores had mostly Made In America products and small businesses still had some respect.
