China owns Biden. Biden owes China. Installing cities of Afghanis within US military bases in America may be the only way he can cede homeland military bases to China. He'll just 'accidentally' lose control of them and they'd have hardware and bases. Wondering where these bases are located - China is 'choosy'. There is NO reason to put the enemy within the gates.The United States is...

And the next time Senator Feinstein calls for “licencing” only “legitimate journalists,” that the 1st Amendment only extends to people who work at the New York Times, Washington Post, or MSNBC, remember this moment.
