Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and his Vietnamese counterpart Nguyen Xuan Phuc have agreed to step up security and economic cooperation – with Tokyo set to export defence equipment and technology to Hanoi – amid China’s growing influence in the region. Suga, who is on his first overseas trip since becoming prime minister last month, called Vietnam a linchpin in efforts to realise a “free and open Indo-Pacific” and vowed Japan’s “continued contribution to peace and prosperity in the region”. He also criticised actions in the South China Sea that “go against the rule of law”, a veiled reference to...

The New York Post’s series of exposes, based on a hard drive that Hunter Biden left with a repair shop and never reclaimed, have thrown a joker into the deck of the presidential election. Of course, the issue isn’t Hunter–a sad, drug-addled case–but rather the light that the documents shed on the corrupt career of Joe Biden.The Post’s documents show a level of corruption that is remarkable even by Swamp standards–for example, Joe Biden proposing to take equity in a Chinese company secretly, through a 10 percent stake held on his behalf by Hunter. But how do we know that...

The Biden campaign is weathering a little squall right now so I thought I would help. If those aren't Hunter's emails then say that. If they are misrepresented, or out-of-context, say that. If they are accurate, you could just say that Hunter is a sad mess see if Americans will sympathize. If Joe is guilty as suggested by the references in the emails, then put a lid on the campaign and hunker down until Thursday. Nobody expects Joe to defend himself. He is too old and frail.

Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller said on Monday that in this week's debate the president will bring up allegations that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden met with a Ukrainian business associate of his son, Hunter, as reported by the New York Post last week based on emails allegedly coming from the hard drive of a laptop that once purportedly belonged to Hunter Biden.

You won’t be able to ask Joe Biden any questions about Hunter’s computer/quid pro quo/Ukraine/China this week. That’s because he’s holed up underground again, preparing to also not answer any questions at the Thursday debate about Hunter’s computer/quid pro quo/Ukraine/China. “This week is mostly about debate prep. He will not be seen again after today until Thursday night in Nashville at that next debate. So they’re going to keep him focused on that.” Right, because he needs time to prep for all the tough questions he’s likely to get from his little moderator friend about AOC’s Green New Deal solution...

Japan and Vietnam agreed on Monday to strengthen security and economic ties, including an agreement in principle for Japan to export military gear and technology to the Southeast Asian nation, amid concerns about China’s regional assertiveness. “It is a big step in the field of security for both countries that we reached an agreement in principle on the transfers of defence equipment and technology,” Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told reporters after meeting his Vietnamese counterpart, Nguyen Xuan Phuc, in Hanoi. “Vietnam, which is serving as ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian nations) chair this year, is key to realise a...

Democrats and many of their willing acolytes in media have been doing everything they can to spin the influence peddling scandal surrounding Joe Biden and his son Hunter.After the NY Post’s story of Hunter’s laptop dropped, the left tried to claim that it was somehow “Russian disinformation.” This of course made no sense as there was nothing to link Russia to any part of the story about the laptop. But it was all the more ironic given that in face in the 2016 election it was Democrats, the DNC, and the Clinton team who paid for what was likely Russian...

...an ancient set of leather balls inside tombs of the prehistoric Yanghai cemetery near the modern city of Turfan... contained a central core crafted from leather or hair products and are encased in a leather pouch tied up together with a band. Two of the three are clearly marked with a red cross on the outer leather cover and were located in the burials sites of possible horse riders, indicating that they might have been employed in an early form of polo. These baseball-sized Turfan balls were carefully examined by researchers and radiocarbon dated back to the period between 1189...

It takes a lot of willful ignorance to condone China's deadly mishandling and attempted cover-up of the coronavirus outbreak—but for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, appeasing Beijing is a way of life. Biden's willful ignorance toward China's acts of economic aggression goes back decades. While serving in the Senate, he voted to grant the Communist regime "most favored nation" trading status, and later supported China's admission into the World Trade Organization. Advocates claimed this would force China to play by the rules of international trade, but Beijing's cheating remained as brazen as ever, and millions of American jobs were...

Hunter Biden's hard drive. The biggest news story of last week (and perhaps the whole year!) and the gift that keeps on a-giving. Late Thursday (10/16/2020) evening, Rudy Giuliani granted an exclusive interview to the Daily Caller. Here's what we learned. The journey of Hunter's hard drive data did not run smoothly. It also took more time than one would assume and has been vetted more thoroughly than the Left wants you to know. According the Left, the data came from a computer hack. Not even remotely true. But even if it did, the data is still sound. If it...

Steve Bannon said Sunday everything that has come to light from Hunter Biden's hard drive is true as he paints Joe Biden as a 'stone cold liar' after revelations show deep financial ties between the Biden's and Chinese Communist Party. 'Joe Biden has lied about this for years,' Bannon told Sky News in an interview Sunday. 'What Fox did, which was very interesting on that issue but also on the Chinese – they actually went to the people on the emails and contacted them. What was so stunning is that they reported last night that one, the guys on the...

Joe Biden took the day off on Saturday after traveling to tiny events with around a dozen people earlier in the week. This also comes at the same time that emails, photos and soon videos from Hunter Biden’s laptop are being reported in the press.

On Sunday morning Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures. During their discussion Maria Bartiromo asked Senator Johnson about the FBI agent who focuses on child pornography issues. Senator Johnson’s answer should raise some eyebrows! Maria Bartiromo: Connect the dots, if an FBI agent is working on child pornography issues for five years why is he subpoenaing the laptop of Hunter Biden? Is there a connection here? Should this suggest that there is a child pornography issue here on that laptop?

Beijing is threatening to take Americans in China hostage if the Department of Justice doesn’t drop its prosecution of several Chinese research scientists arrested on U.S. soil this year, according to a report on Saturday. Chinese government officials have repeatedly warned their U.S. counterparts that Americans in China face being detained if its demands are not met, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources familiar with the matter. The drastic action — dubbed “hostage diplomacy” — would be in retaliation for the arrests of at least five Chinese military-affiliated scholars visiting American universities to conduct research. The scientists were charged...

The Ladies of WindChime Retirement Center Democrat Governors Murdered Almost100,000 Elderly Citizens to Stop Trump by Chuck Ness Imagine someone being so evil and so full of hate for a President that they would actually conspire with other elected officials to murder almost 100,000 citizens, just to get a political advantage in an election year. Well Democrat Governors in CA, NY, IL, PA, MI, NJ, and other states did just that. They murdered elderly nursing home citizens so they could take out Trump.I share this from my heart, because of the women in the picture above. These women were...

Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son-in-law’s investment firm has made investments in Chinese corporations over the last few years. Biden’s daughter, Ashley, married Philadelphia head and neck doctor Howard Krein in 2012. Krein, who is currently advising Biden for his campaign, remains chief medical officer at the firm StartUp Health, which has tied itself in partnerships with Chinese corporations through the years. StartUp Health boosted two major China-based corporations in 2018 and most recently praised China’s response to the Chinese coronavirus crisis.

Canada and China are once again in a diplomatic battle over a range of issues — this time with Beijing threatening retaliation over Canada's acceptance of activists from Hong Kong who are seeking political asylum. China’s ambassador to Canada Cong Peiwu issued a somewhat unprecedented threat to Ottawa late this week, saying that accepting anti-China activists could jeopardize the “health and safety” of 300,000 Canadians who live in Hong Kong. “We strongly urge the Canadian side not to grant so-called political asylum to those violent criminals in Hong Kong, because it is interference in China’s domestic affairs, and certainly it...

@RudyGiuliani : A meeting is coming out in 1-2 days in State Dept. in which Hunter snuck in the back door ... That meeting took place with Tony Blinken."

Last week the NY Post took the political world by storm with its release of shocking material from Hunter Biden’s hard drive indicating corruption, sexual depravity and more. The Post reported that a lawyer for former NY Mayor Rudy Giuliani obtained the hard drive from a computer repairman, and that former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon had alerted the Post to the existence of the hard drive in July. But before turning over the gear, the shop owner says, he made a copy of the hard drive and later gave it to former Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello....
