Chinese Spying? Beijing-linked Harvard Professor and Two Chinese Nationals Charged Feb 03, 2020

Show notes

It’s one of the biggest underreported stories of our time. While our nation is distracted with a Senate impeachment trial, our main geo-political rival is busy not just harvesting organs on its own shores but harvesting American technology and national secrets on ours. The latest on this front concerns charges brought Tuesday against an esteemed Harvard professor, and two Chinese nationals who’d been researchers at American institutions, for lying about alleged links to the Beijing government.

China’s Declining Birth Rate Threatens Its Globalist Plan Feb 03, 2020

Show notes

The number of babies born in China in 2019 was the lowest since 1961, during the forced implementation of Mao Tse-tung's “Great Leap Forward.” That effort to turn China’s agrarian society into a purely communist one not only cost the lives of an estimated 45 million people through starvation but dropped the number of births to less than 12 million in a year.

Afterward, policies were implemented by Mao’s followers to rein in China’s population growth, which soared following that greatest famine in all of human history. Chinese officials implemented a “two child policy” in 1969, but changed it 10 years later to “one child” per family, with some exceptions.

Virginia Democrats Pass New Gun-control Bills in Order to “Save Lives” Jan 31, 2020

Show notes

Virginia’s House of Delegates passed seven bills infringing on the rights of lawful gun owners in the Old Dominion on Thursday, all in the name of reducing gun violence. They included universal background checks prohibiting the private transfer of firearms between consenting citizens, an unconstitutional “red flag” law that violates the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, limiting the right of a Virginian to purchase firearms to one per month, and others.

Virginia has been moving left for years. The GOP was defending paper-thin majorities — 20 to 19 in the Senate, and 51-48 in the House. The last time a Republican won a statewide office was in 2009. Nevertheless, it took millions of dollars from anti-gun activists such as Michael Bloomberg and efforts of Chinese Communist-linked New Virginia Majority (NVM) to flip two Senate seats and three House seats from Democrat to Republican. Erich Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, likened Bloomberg’s funding to Judas’ betrayal of Jesus for “30 pieces of silver”: “Billionaires like former NYC Mayor Bloomberg … gave Governor Northam’s statewide Democrats $1.4 million in 2017 and $2.5 million in 2019 to gain control of Virginia’s 2020 legislature. The Constitution appears to be expendable for 30 pieces of silver.”

Report: Upon Becoming President, Bernie Will Issue Dozens of Executive Orders to Negate Congress Jan 31, 2020

Show notes

It’s bad enough when a presidential candidate won’t fire staffers who talk about killing political opponents or putting them in gulags. But when that man then promises to immediately issue dozens of executive orders upon taking office because we “cannot accept delays from Congress,” it perhaps should give you more than pause.

This is exactly what socialist senator Bernie Sanders has vowed to do, too, to circumvent congressional Republicans and Democrats who oppose his radical agenda. As the Washington Post reports, “Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is considering dozens of executive orders he could unilaterally enact on a wide range of domestic policy issues if elected president … according to two people familiar with the campaign’s planning and an internal document reviewed by The Washington Post.”

ERA Supporters Show Disregard for Law and Fairness — a Message for Constitutional Convention Advocates Jan 31, 2020

Show notes

Disregarding the time limit placed upon it by the Congress that passed the so-called Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and sent it to the states for ratification, ERA advocates have begun a push for ratification of the proposed amendment, which was rejected by the states years ago.

This lawless attitude — that it does not make any difference what Congress did in 1972 (or even in 1979, when Congress even gave ERA proponents three more years to get the amendment ratified) — is typical of progressives who routinely circumvent or ignore the clear wording of the Constitution when it suits them, and should also be a wake-up call for conservatives who are supporting a Constitutional Convention (or Convention of States as some choose to call it).

Amazon Software Engineer Calls for Recall of Ring Devices, Citing Security Breaches Jan 31, 2020

Show notes

An Amazon software engineer is calling for the shutdown of Ring, Amazon’s smart doorbell and surveillance device, explaining that the service is incompatible with privacy.

Max Eliaser, the Amazon employee insisting that the connected Ring doorbells and cameras should be shelved, posted an explanation on Medium. “The deployment of connected home security cameras that allow footage to be queried centrally are simply not compatible with a free society. The privacy issues are not fixable with regulation and there is no balance that can be struck. Ring should be shut down immediately and not brought back,” he wrote.

Iowa Is Too White to Host the First Caucus, Writes NY Times Columnist Jan 30, 2020

Show notes

The first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses are set for next week, but New York Times columnist David Leonhardt recently penned a column insisting that this should be the last time that happens. After all, according to Leonhardt, Iowa is “among the country’s whitest states.”

The Times column is entitled “Iowa Should Never Go First Again: The current system is a form of white privilege that warps the process.” Not only is Leonhardt opposed to Iowa holding the nation’s first caucuses to choose delegates to the national conventions of the Democratic and Republican parties, he thinks that New Hampshire — which holds the nation’s first presidential primary — is similarly just too white to have such clout in determining the next president of the United States.

Fox Gives Pro-life Group “Runaround” Over Super Bowl Commercial, Approves Ad Featuring Drag Queens Jan 30, 2020

Show notes

Pro-life advocates are infuriated after Fox repeatedly ignored requests for ad space during the 2020 Super Bowl from pro-life group Faces of Choice after giving the group the “runaround,” while approving a commercial that will feature drag queens and LGBTQ activists. Fox is now claiming it is out of ad space, but Faces of Choice contends the network deliberately delayed approving its application for airtime so that they would run out of air space before having to issue a response to the request.

Fed to Hold Interest Rates Steady; Seeks Increase in Inflation Jan 30, 2020

Show notes

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said very little following the meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) on Wednesday. But what he did say revealed the vast chasm between the views of advocates of a free market and those supporting statist interventionism. After announcing, “We’re comfortable with our current policy stance [Fed Funds rates between 1.5 and 1.75 percent],” he said he’s unhappy that inflation isn’t running higher:

Farage’s Mic Cut Amid Triumphant Farewell Speech at European Parliament Jan 30, 2020

Show notes

With Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union on the verge of at last becoming reality, Brexiteers are taking an unabashed victory lap — much to the chagrin of the globalist establishment.

In his final address to the European Parliament on Wednesday, British euroskeptic and Brexit Party founder Nigel Farage gave both a rousing defense his country and a stern rebuke of the EU, ultimately having his microphone cut after he and his fellow delegates waved the Union Jack in violation of the chamber’s rules.
