Don't look now, but an R has done something people on both sides will (should) support.

He calls out NBC for not airing ads critical of China during Olympics.
"Just outside the show, rape, genocide, slave labor -- American companies are drunk on Chinese dollars – entangled with Communist dictators committing atrocities," Waltz says in the ad.
Shame on the rest of the "unbiased" MSM that they aren't also reporting this story.

UPDATE: Yahoo has picked up the story. Don't expect to see it on MSNBC, duh. We'll see if Pelosi allows CNN to run with it or not.

Also, if Eileen Gu wants to represent China, don't come back to America.

On the surface, I agree. However, I'm not 100% sure after reading what she's trying to do. She may be a bit misguided?

I personally think she'd inspire more people by showing off the life one can have if allowed the freedom of choice rather than draping herself in the flag of an oppressive government currently using slaves and committing genocide.

Some of you got raging boners as soon as he called China a "totalitarian surveillance state." BM is apparently soft on crime since he listed that as a negative.

Surveillance, sure. Totalitarian, no.

Some dude was throwing his car into curves in our neighborhood, wrapped his car around a tree. I went out to see what it was, since it was < 1 block from our house (heard the bang, not the squealing beforehand). Some other neighbors were there already. Someone checked on the driver, and the driver bolted. Maybe he was just stupid and ran, maybe it was stolen, maybe he was drunk, who knows.

I was just thinking about what would be a fun plot twist in the Russia-Ukraine war that just started.

China sees Russia's military engaged there, Russia's economy toppling, and decides to invade Russia from the South. They could very easily cut Russia in half and just declare all of Eastern Russia as theirs now. They know the rest of the world wouldn't do shit. The only thing they'd have to worry about is Putin's crazy ass launching nukes.

The problem is that eastern Russia is largely garbage, except maybe Vladivostok.

That works in their favor. Eastern Europe is a frozen wasteland, but there are tons of resources and loads of land. Those things could be critical for an overpopulated country with a large slave labor force and who produces CFCs which are warming the planet. :D

Tiananmen Square protestor murdered in NYC.

Coincidence or assassination?

Foreign investors are pulling out of China in record numbers.

Their support of Russia is cited as a big reason.

I can think of a dozen more reasons your money shouldn't have been there in the first place.

I bet the amount is big, but the overall percentage is tiny.

U.S. Coast Guard is tool #1 to stopping Chinese expansion.

Posting this mostly just to throw this line from the article at Catt:
Crewmembers aboard the US Coast Guard Cutter Myrtle Hazard stand watch on the bridge while underway in Oceania.
:D
