Immigration Pause Recently, President Trump issued an executive order to freeze immigration, partially. For 60 days there will be a freeze on new employment, based on extended family green cards being issued. According to F.A.I.R. and the Migration Policy Institute between 80,00-110,000 green cards will be affected, only 10% of total immigration. This executive order excludes visas including H-1B, H-2B (employment) and student visas. President Trump cited the need to increase wages during the recovery from this pandemic, opening up jobs for Americans and, primarily, preventing any further spread of the Coronavirus. Another motivation by the Trump administration is with Americans not able to live their daily lives, bringing more people to the U.S. is not feasible (Associated Press). U.S Taxpayers Funded Wuhan Lab that Released Coronavirus The United States National Institute of Health (NIH) gave a $3.7 million grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, in 2015, under President Obama, which is where the Coronavirus is suspected to have been released. In 2015, the Wuhan lab became the first highest risk biomedical lab in China and in January 2018 the State Department issued a warning about this lab. In addition, $22 million of taxpayer money was spent on research tied to the Wuhan lab, before being shut down in 2019. This experiment purchased at least 34 cats in Chinese wet markets that were then euthanized, with the body parts of the cats being fed to kittens. This was dubbed “Kitten Cannibalism" by animal rights groups (Washington Examiner). This shows how tighter safeguards related to spending are needed, especially since spending for the NIH was increased by 7.7% in 2020. China Theft of U.S. Research According to investigations from Senator Rob Portman (R-OH), Chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Investigations, China is currently running a program called the Thousand Talents Program which is where they offer American professors lucrative salaries to steal American research from universities to give them to China, including the $150 billion U.S. taxpayer-funded research. Of the same token, China also recruits Chinese students who are researchers at American universities on American visas to steal American research. Examples of this include Chinese students being arrested for trying to steal Monsanto trade secrets and cancer research (Real Clear Politics). Senate Republicans Marsha Blackburn (TN), Josh Hawley (MO), Chuck Grassley (IA) Ted Cruz (TX), and Tom Cotton (AR) introduced a bill to prevent this by banning Chinese students affiliated with the Chinese Liberation Army from receiving student visas. California Gift to Illegal Immigrants California Governor, Gavin Newsom, is planning to give illegal immigrants a total of $150 million in cash assistance, $500 for 150,000 illegal immigrants. $75 million from taxpayer money and $500 from private charities. This is likely illegal since the $2.2 trillion stimulus package passed by Congress did not include illegal immigrants and a prerequisite for receiving aid was filing 2018 tax returns which most illegal immigrants do not file. This led to growing calls to block aid to California or for the U.S. Department of Justice to sue the State of California for violating federal law (Fox News). Wet Markets Back in Business As millions of Americans are still out of work and quarantined in their homes, China’s wet markets are reopened. Initially, it was reported that the Coronavirus originated from bats in a wet market in Wuhan China. Besides bats, these wet markets sell the meat of dogs, ostriches, foxes, camels, just to name a few. Now it is accepted that it is more likely the Coronavirus escaped from the Wuhan Lab. It has not yet been determined if bats in wet markets enhanced the spread of the Coronavirus or if bats were the means of releasing the Coronavirus from the Wuhan lab. Regardless of where the Coronavirus originated, the SARS outbreak in 2002-2003 originated from bats in a wet market and the Bird Flu was from a wet market. This demonstrates the level at which disease festers and thrives in wet markets (Bloomberg News). FBI Misconduct The Inspector-General of the Department of Justice, Michael Horowitz declassified several key footnotes on the FISA application warrant to spy on Carter Page as a means to spy on the Trump campaign. It was found that the FBI made 17 significant errors and had “no basis “ for a warrant. Additionally, Christopher Steele, the British ex-spy was "compromised” by Russia and likely colluded with Russia to produce a fake dossier (document) about President Trump that the FISA application was based on. In other words, this was an attempt to frame the Trump campaign for “collusion” with Russia, when in fact, there was collusion with Russia AGAINST President Trump- not the other way around, as reported by the media (Washington Times). Hunter Biden’s Continued China Ties According to Chinese business records, Hunter Biden is still a board member of the Chinese company, BHR Partners that he co-founded and owned a 10% stake in. This is despite pledging last year to step down from the Board of Directors. Biden pledged to step down due to controversy related to his business dealings with this company, as reported in my earlier article Drain the Swamp Part I. Notably, the deal for Hunter to purchase a stake in BHR Partners was finalized days after Hunter and Joe Biden traveled to China on Air Force II. Another deal that was finalized was for Hunter Biden’s company to raise $1.5 billion in investments for BHR Partners. BHR Partners is backed by the Bank of China- the Chinese government bank. Furthermore, BHR Partners acquired American companies that have technologies sensitive to national security (N.Y. Post). Election 2020 Joe Biden’s Most Recent Gaffes While campaigning remotely through videos and news interviews he has continued to make an increasing number of gaffes, leading many to question his mental state. In a 30 second Youtube video posted by his campaign Biden, lost his train of thought stating “We need to activate the reserve corps of doctors and nurses and beef up the number of responders dealing with the crush of cases. And uh, in addition to that, we have to make sure that, we are,” After freezing Biden gestures with his hand asking his staff to roll back the teleprompter. Then says “Let me go to the next thing.” Need I remind you that this was a pre-written statement, not off the cuff. Watch here. Similarly, in an MSNBC interview Biden stated “I suggested we should have people in China at the outset of this event, when it all started, in Luhan Province..” The Coronavirus originated in the City of Wuhan in the Hubei Province not “Luhan”. Watch here. Some of the other countless Biden gaffes can be found here. Joe Biden’s Accuser: Tara Reade Former Vice President Joe Biden has a credible accusation of sexual assault by one of his former Senate staffers Tara Reade, dating back to 1993. Reade went to an organization started after the #MeeToo Movement, called Time’s Up to women to come forward and fund their cases. Time’s Up has raised $24 million on their GoFundMe Page, the most successful GoFundMe campaign on record. However, this organization denied helping Reade when she approached them in January. The mainstream media has barely covered this story with Joe Biden, even being interviewed in a virtual CNN Town Hall, Meet the Press on NBC, and a series of MSNBC interviews, with not mentioning this accusation. This is in contrast to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, whose accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, received significant news coverage and received an award since she was accusing someone connected to the Trump Administration. CNN waited 24 days to cover Biden’s accuser, in contrast they published 700 articles about the Brett Kavanagh’s accuser in 19 days. Joe Biden has stated he “believes all women ''. Like Ford, Reade deserves to tell her side of the story. If Biden is innocent of any wrong, this will never be determined unless the story of Reade is told, otherwise, this will hang over Biden until it is addressed. Currently, there are documents within the Senate related to this case, including a report field by Reade that has yet to be released. A producer for Roann Farrow, that helped break the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault story said Reade is credible, as does Democratic-Socialist Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez N.Y. along with Bernie Sanders’ aides. Newly released tapes from an episode of Larry King Live on CNN in 1993 with the mother of Tara Reade calling in stating that her daughter was victimized by a “prominent” Senator but did not come forward (Fox News, The Intercept). Socialized Medicine vs. the United States Healthcare System The Coronavirus has exposed the ineffectiveness of socialized medicine. For example, the Coronavirus death in the United States is 4%. This compares to other European countries: Belgium 14%, Italy 13%, the United Kingdom 13%, Spain 11%, and France 11%. These countries have some form of socialized medicine- government-run healthcare. The government is the only provider of healthcare and provides it to all citizens paid by exorbitant taxes, which is known as single-payer healthcare. This is what Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders wanted but repackaged as “Medicare for all” and that presumptive Democrat nominee Joe Biden embraces. The death rates from the Coronavirus expose the faults of single-payer and the superiority of the American healthcare system (NoSpinNews).
