Donald Trump: If Biden Wins, China Wins. It’s as Simple as That

President Donald Trump on Tuesday again warned once again that if Vice President Joe Biden won the election, it would benefit China.

“If Biden wins, China wins. It’s as simple as that,” Trump said, adding that the former vice president was “surrendering our children’s future to countries like China.”

The president spoke during a campaign rally in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on Tuesday evening.

“China wants Joe Biden so badly,” he said.

Trump recalled Biden’s career of passing policies that allowed companies to offshore important jobs, loosen up restrictions on the American borders, and sending Americans into foreign wars.

“I am running for reelection to keep jobs at home, to put violent criminals behind bars and to ensure that the future belongs to America, not China and other countries,” Trump said.

He criticized Biden for supporting bad trade deals such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and supported allowing China into the World Trade Organization (WTO).

“For half a century, Joe Biden shook hands with blue-collar workers and then he turned around and immediately stabbed them in the back,” Trump said.

The president warned voters that Biden and his “friends” in Washington destroyed their communities.

“He closed the factories in Baltimore and sent them to Beijing. They were all sent to Beijing … He shuttered the plants in Chicago and sent them to Shanghai.”

New ‘Republicans & Independents for Biden’ Group Led by Same Old GOP Gun-Grabbers

“It’s Time for ‘Republicans and Independents for Biden’,” former New Jersey Governor Rhino Christine Todd Whitman claims in a Thursday Inside Sources opinion piece.;

“That’s why today, I invite my fellow Republicans and right-leaning Independents to join me and the nearly 100 other current and former Republican elected officials, members of previous Republican administrations, and party leaders in forming a coalition of the decent, to elect a decent man President of the United States.”

Joe Biden is “a decent man”? According to Whitman, he’s more than that.

“Joe Biden wants to be a president for all Americans,” Whitman lies.

Of course, he does not. He does not want to be a president for Americans who oppose new taxes. He does not want to be a president for Americans who believe in the sanctity of the lives of the unborn. He does not want to be a president for Americans who see, and don’t agree with, the inevitable tyrannical cultural shifts enabled by uncontrolled “immigration” with a “Day One pathway to citizenship.” And he does not want to be a president for Americans who believe unbendingly in the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

Not only does Joe Biden threaten to eviscerate all those interests, if elected, he will make sure judges are appointed to the Supreme Court and at all levels within the federal court system to reverse gains gun owners have made to date and to uphold new infringements. As far as political and “legal” means of redress go, it will be “Game over” for the Second Amendment, leaving the only options to be “Surrender or resist.”

Not that Whitman minds. Despite hollowly crowing about her “Republican” credentials and connections, she has always been part of the establishment swamp and has been betraying gun owner interests for decades.

“In 1993, gun owners once again presented intense opposition to entrenched Governor Florio, electing Christine Whitman on her promise to legislatively review the 1990 gun ban, and to support the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding firearms owners,” Gun Owners of America noted. “Gun owners contributed massive campaigning efforts on behalf of Whitman, including phone banks, fax networks, donations, and personal sacrifice well beyond any other group.”

New Jersey's Democratic governor reverses transit ban on US flags after massive public blowback

Flag ban suspended right before the 19th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, ordered the Turnpike Authority to reverse its decision to take down U.S. flags after massive public outcry ahead of the 9/11 anniversary.

The New Jersey Turnpike Authority announced that it would no longer allow residents to hang the flags on overpasses and other public edifices after the agency explained that it could not continue maintaining the flags.

"The long-standing policy of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority has been to prohibit the display of any flags, signs, or banners by private parties on Turnpike Authority property. While we appreciate the desire of some New Jersey residents to express their patriotism in these turbulent times by displaying flags on Turnpike and Parkway overpasses, Turnpike Authority regulations do not allow it, and for good reason," the Turnpike Authority said in a statement on Facebook.

'We should be proud of flying our flag'

After residents and veterans groups objected loudly to the order, Murphy relented on Tuesday.

"I don't like it," said Murphy when asked about it on a morning talk show at WPG radio. "Our flag represents the greatest nation in the history of the world, and that doesn't mean we're perfect, because we're not, but we are a great nation, and my gut tells me that we should be proud of flying our flag."

Murphy said that he had not heard of the issue before he was asked about it on the radio show. Later at a coronavirus update briefing, he said that the flag ban had been suspended, even if only temporarily.

"At least for the time being, the Turnpike Authority has suspended that," he said.

Many of the flags were put up after the Islamic terrorist attacks on 9/11 and had been maintained by residents and other groups for nearly 20 years. One town had planned to defy the transit order and replace the flags in a ceremony with the mayor's approval on September 11.

Here's a local news report about the backlash:

Trump Suggests Using Unspent COVID-19 Relief Funds For Stimulus Checks

President Donald Trump recently suggested using $300 billion in COVID-19 relief funds for more direct payments for Americans.

"We have $300 billion in an account that we didn't use. I would be willing to release it, subject to Congress, and use that as stimulus money and it would go right to the American people," Trump said Friday at a White House press conference. “We’re willing to spend it, I’d like to get approval from Congress. There’s a theory that I don’t have to do that, but I’d rather be up front and I’d like to get approval from Congress.”

Trump is likely referring to unspent business loan money that had been approved under the $2.2 trillion CARES Act signed in March. The Economic Policy Institute has estimated that the first round of $1,200 payments cost around $300 billion.

There is broad bipartisan support for another stimulus check. A recent Gallup survey found 82% of Democrats support another round of checks, along with 64% of Republicans and 66% of independents.

Some analysts have been critical of another stimulus check, as the federal government would give money to many Americans who still have full-time employment. A June op-ed from the Washington Post editorial board suggests that the payments would not be an effective stimulus as “many recipients will treat a second payment as a one-shot windfall to be saved, just as they did with the first.”

Negotiations on another stimulus package are currently stalled on Capitol Hill. Senate Republicans are expected to vote on a trimmed-down coronavirus relief package this week, but the legislation does not include another round of direct payments.

Top US general rushes to defend Pentagon after Trump accuses it of colluding with weapon manufacturers to fight endless wars

Army Chief of Staff General James McConville has vehemently rejected Donald Trump’s comments alleging that the military’s top commanders wish to entangle the US in as many wars as possible in order to enrich weapon manufacturers.

“I can assure the American people that the senior leaders would only recommend sending our troops to combat when it is required in national security and in the last resort,” McConville, a Trump appointee, said during an online conference on Tuesday. “We take this very, very seriously in how we make our recommendations.”

The general added that many of the US commanders have sons and daughters that currently serve in the military and some of them “may be in combat right now.” The general declined to more directly respond to Trump’s allegations, saying the military should remain out of politics.

The Chief of Staff was referring to the highly publicized comments Trump made on Monday. The president said that “the top people in the Pentagon” might not be “in love” with him “because they want to do nothing but fight wars” to provide business for the US military-industrial complex.

During his 2016 campaign, Trump promised to end America’s “endless wars” as he often calls them. However, the long-time military bureaucrats he appointed to command publicly opposed Trump’s propositions to reduce US military presence in Afghanistan and Syria.

Pakistan seeks China’s support in corporate farming

Islamabad is seeking Beijing’s help in national food security through the inclusion of agriculture in the ambitious $61 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) program.

According to the Tribune Express, the cabinet of ministers said that support was being sought for corporate farming as well as joint farming. In March, during President Alvi’s visit to China, Islamabad and Beijing signed an agreement for enhanced bilateral cooperation in science and technology, as well as agriculture.

This week, the minister for national food security and research told the cabinet that his team was working on raising wheat productivity for which timely announcement of support price and availability of quality seed was crucial. He requested the prime minister direct provinces to keep an appropriate quantity of good quality wheat which will be used as seed.

The PM directed the food security minister to prepare short, medium, and long-term plans for achieving food security and enhancing crop productivity. He emphasized that a shortage of wheat could not be allowed in the country under any circumstances as it is a staple. Around 0.5 million tons of imported wheat will be available in the country in September, data showed.

China is Pakistan’s largest trading partner, and the CPEC project is expected to enhance economic cooperation between the two countries. It aims to improve Pakistani infrastructure, create nearly 700,000 new jobs, and add up to 2.5 percent to Pakistan’s annual growth rate.

The project has been called a game-changer for Pakistan because it will link China with markets in Central Asia and South Asia. It aims over 15 years to create an economic corridor between Pakistani Gwadar Port to China’s northwestern region of Xinjiang through a 2,700km highway from Kashgar to Gwadar, railway links for freight trains, oil and gas pipelines, and a fiber-optic link.

‘END THE CURFEW NOW’: Andrews under fire after bombshell revelation

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is facing calls to end the state’s curfew immediately, after it was revealed that the unprecedented restriction was not based on medical advice.

Coronavirus Victoria: Brett Sutton says he did not recommend Melbourne curfew

Daniel Andrews is facing calls to end the Melbourne’s curfew after he was thrown under the bus by his chief health officer in a shock interview.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is facing calls to end the state’s night-time curfew immediately, after it was revealed that the unprecedented restriction was not based on medical advice.

Chief health officer Brett Sutton dramatically threw Mr Andrews under the bus yesterday, making the explosive claim in an interview with 3AW’s Neil Mitchell.

Mitchell teed up Professor Sutton by asking if the Victorian Government had ever “introduced something without your advice, or against your advice”.

“No not against my advice, you know, the curfew came in as part of the state of disaster, for example, it wasn’t a state of emergency requirement,” Prof Sutton replied.

“So you know, that was something that was introduced, but it wasn’t something I was against from a public health perspective.”

At his daily press conference on Tuesday, Mr Andrews admitted that the curfew makes “the job of the Victoria Police much easier”.

He was grilled again on Wednesday, asked whose idea the curfew was.

“I can’t pinpoint the individual and the day, I can’t give you a specific person,” he said, again adding “it makes the job of police much easier”.

He added, “If you want to go out and be unlawful now police have got the easiest set of arrangements they have ever had to catch you and fine you. That’s what a curfew delivers.”

Hundreds of Victorians have been fined for curfew breaches since last month.
