New Navy Strategy Calls China "Most Pressing" Threat
A new U.S. Navy strategy paper from the Chief of Naval Operations calls China “our most pressing long-term strategic threat,” pointing to the communist nation’s rapid and massive ongoing naval modernization efforts, militarization in the South China Sea, aggressive maritime operations and grand ambitions to emerge as the pre-eminent global superpower.
“China is aggressively building a Navy to rival our own. Already possessing the world’s largest fleet, China continues to build modern surface combatants, submarines, aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships, and next-generation fighters,” the CNO NAVPLAN states. “Now, they are extending their infrastructure across the globe to control access to critical waterways.”
Chinese Naval expansion has been on the Pentagon’s radar for many years because of the pace and scope with which it has been adding new platforms, adding new weapons systems and expanding provocative operations in areas near Japan and the South China Sea. The Chinese Navy, which has itself already grown to more than 300 ships, also massively increases its activity through cooperation with other parts of its maritime force.”
“Operating under the cover of the world’s largest missile force, the People’s Liberation Army—Navy (PLAN) deploys alongside the Chinese Coast Guard and Maritime Militia to harass global shipping and exert pressure on regional countries below the level of traditional armed conflict.”
Of equal or greater concern is the reality that China is not only quickly increasing its fleet size but substantially increasing its drills, exercises, combat training operations and other war preparations of concern to the United States, and especially Taiwan.
A new Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard new strategy document, called “Advantage at Sea,” further reinforces the CNO NAVPLAN by taking a hard line on Chinese expansionism and detailing a number of what it states are aggressive Chinese ambitions intended to “corrode international maritime governance, deny access to traditional logistical hubs, inhibit freedom of the seas, control use of key chokepoints and deter U.S. engagement in regional disputes.”
China’s Navy, the strategy explains, has nearly “tripled” in size over just the last two decades, and the PLA Navy plans to operate as many as five carriers, double its fleet of destroyers and add new high-tech, heavily-armed warships, amphibs and coastal patrol boats, among other things.
The other element of Chinese naval military expansion of potential concern to Pentagon planners is its shipbuilding infrastructure, as the country’s industrial capacity is growing at a staggering rate.
“This rapid growth is enabled by a robust shipbuilding infrastructure, including multiple shipyards that exceed those in the United States in both size and throughput. In conflict, excess PRC industrial capacity, including additional commercial shipyards, could quickly be turned toward military production and repair, further increasing China’s ability to generate new military forces,” Advantage at Sea strategy states.
China will be doubling its fleet of destroyers and adding new, stealthy Type 055 destroyers. China has begun sea trials for its second new Type 075 amphibious assault ship and begun construction of a third.
China’s first home-built carrier, the Shandong, has been firing weapons and conducting combat drills on numerous deployments, the most recent one of which being war preparations in the South China Sea. Now that China’s second carrier, the Shandong, is operational and on patrol, China is now already working on a third. China’s first indigenously-built carrier, the second carrier in the fleet overall, is modeled after its ski-jump-configured Ukrainian-built Liaoning.
Now, the People’s Liberation Army Navy is building a larger, flatter, more modern carrier platform with smooth, longer-range electromagnetic catapults similar to the U.S. Ford-class. Developers of the Ford class talk about the electromagnetic catapult in terms of it being a system which enables a smoother, more fluid takeoff, unlike a “shotgun” like steam powered take off.
The third carrier, identified as a Type 002 carrier, is reported to have a displacement of 80,000 tons, considerably larger than the 60,000-ton weight of China’s first two carriers. It will reportedly be able to operate a carrier air wing of more than 40 fixed-wing fighters.

The Beginning of the End of Liz Cheney's Political Career in Wyoming – She Sees It Coming
This has been a work in progress for several years, and Liz Cheney has long been destined to leave the ranks of GOP elected officials with the Trump coalition and its policy agenda in the ascendency. She is a NeverTrumper at heart — as are many elected GOP officials, particularly in the Senate. But they all desired to hold on to their elected positions long enough to outlast the Trump Presidency. That is why so many in the Senate sat by and watched Joe Biden be coronated by the media and Big Tech when everyone connected to the Senate as an institution knows Biden was one of the dumbest individuals EVER to have been a Senator and is currently well on his way to full dementia.
Liz Cheney has never had a comfortable “home” in politics as an elected official from Wyoming. She is 54 years old and first ran for elected office in 2014 when she decided to challenge incumbent Wyoming GOP Senator Mike Enzi. She grew up in Virginia, not Wyoming, while her father served in the House of Representatives. After graduating from law school she worked in a variety of government positions, as well as spending some time in major law firms in Washington DC. What she never did was live in Wyoming — until buying a house in Jackson Hole in 2012 ahead of her announcement in the summer of 2013 that she would challenge Enzi in 2014.
Enzi declared that he would seek a fourth term in 2014. Cheney’s announcement that she would challenge him was widely criticized in GOP circles, and the GOP Senate Campaign Committee pledged to support the incumbent. Enzi had won re-election in 2008 with 71% of the vote. Getting almost no traction on the campaign trail, Cheney withdrew from the race in January 2014 — likely to avoid a humiliating defeat by Enzi in the primary.
But Cynthia Lummis, the four-term GOP House member — Wyoming has only one seat in the House — announced she would not run for re-election in 2016. Cheney seized the opportunity to run for the seat that her father had occupied during the Reagan Administration. She won out of an undistinguished field of state-level GOP officials and easily won re-election in 2018 and 2020.
When Mike Enzi announced that he would not seek a fifth term in 2020, Cynthia Lummis announced that she would re-enter politics to run for Enzi’s vacant seat.
Liz Cheney declined to challenge her in the primary.
She was a member of the GOP minority in the House. The predictions were that in 2020 the GOP would lose 10-15 seats in the House, putting them into an even smaller minority. The GOP held the majority in the Senate, and until the disaster in Georgia, the expectation was that the GOP would likely continue to hold the majority by a very slim margin. If Cheney could have been elected to the Senate, she would be in the majority, and the power of incumbency is Wyoming makes GOP officeholders pretty much bullet-proof.

The Beginning of the End of Liz Cheney's Political Career in Wyoming – She Sees It Coming
When she declined to enter the race against Lummis, THAT was an acknowledgment by Cheney that her future in Wyoming was limited. She knew she would lose the primary to Lummis if she ran for the open Senate seat, and in doing so she would be giving up her House seat where she would be easily re-elected.
Cynthia Lummis is a lifelong resident of Wyoming and comes from a prominent Wyoming family. She had served as a State Representative, State Senator, and State Treasurer before winning the election to be Wyoming’s member in the US House. Cheney knew challenging Lummis for Enzi’s Senate seat was destined to be losing effort, so she didn’t enter the race.
Last November Cheney won re-election with 68% of the vote, while Pres. Trump carried Wyoming with 69% — Cheney ran 8000 votes behind him. The beneficiary of those 8000 votes was the libertarian candidate on the ballot, who drew 10,000 votes. Another conservative third party candidate in Wyoming drew 8000 votes that Cheney did not get.
Last week Cheney became one of 10 GOP House members to vote for the impeachment of President Trump. That should not be surprising because she is a descendant of the Bush-Cheney wing of the GOP — which Pres. Trump trashed in 2016 and throughout his Presidency. She has also long associated herself with some of the most prominent voices in the “NeverTrump” movement. After supporting Fred Thompson’s Presidential campaign in 2008, when he dropped out she moved over to work for Mitt Romney — in January when there were still several other candidates she could have chosen.
In 2020 Cheney had a primary challenger who received 25% of the vote in the race against her. Her opponent was a life-long blue-collar oil field worker with no political experience. Based on the margin in that race, a challenger in 2022 would need to flip only 25,000 votes to beat Cheney in the primary. There are 5 statewide elected officials besides the three federal officeholders in Wyoming — all Republicans.
In the aftermath of her vote for impeachment, the Wyoming GOP issued a statement denouncing her vote.
There has not been a time during our tenure when we have seen this type of an outcry from our fellow Republicans, with the anger and frustration being palpable in the comments we have received. Our telephone has not stopped ringing, our email is filling up, and our website has seen more traffic than at any previous time. The consensus is clear that those who are reaching out to the Party vehemently disagree with Representative Cheney’s decision and actions.
We as a Party respect our elected officials and assume that they will respect and represent their constituents. We are receiving the message loud and clear that what happened yesterday is a true travesty for Wyoming and the country.
Look for the Wyoming GOP to push one of the other statewide officeholders to challenge Cheney. The chances of that increase significantly if Cheney is removed from her position in the House GOP Caucus leadership team.
If both those come to pass, I expect Cheney to announce she will not seek re-election.

UPDATED: 23 State Capitols Officially Allow Some Form Of Legal Firearm Carry. Soon that will be 24 states. At Least 4 Others Allow In Practice.

America’s political skirt has been lifted
America’s political skirt has been lifted. This may seem a little dramatic to equate to our situation if we were to put this verse into context, but it’s the first thing that comes to mind as to what we’ve seen in the last year.
Once it was evident that something very nefarious had taken place in battleground states of this country, many thought it would only be a matter of time before we’d see justice prevail. The evidence began to pile up. Affidavits and statistical data was pouring in showing what we knew was happening, and in fact had been warned about months before.
What wasn’t expected however, was how many people within the walls of congress would be scared of speaking up on behalf of justice – and how many judges within the walls of courts would not allow due process out of fear or political bias (this, personally, was the most disturbing).
Let us not fail to mention the perfect crisis. One thing the pandemic revealed was hints of tyranny within the hearts of many of those we elected. A saying comes to mind, “do as I say, not as I do”.
Many Americans became disheartened, not only in the elected politicians but the entire system of government. Understandably, after realizing there wasn’t much more we could do, other than pray, many Americans put their heads back into the sand – if not for anything other than mental preservation. People are tired. It was a really rough year.
Much was revealed. More than enough to leave a very nasty taste in our mouth – it was ugly. The question I asked myself was, I realize I couldn’t possibly know how all those politicians and judges would have reacted when truly challenged on the issues of justice and truth, but why did I and many like me have so much faith in them?
On one hand many Christians will deny that they held faith in the institutions and systems within our government and courts. On the other hand, many Christians believed when they heard “prophets” come out and claim that the Holy Spirit told them who would win the election (I guess God didn’t get the memo). It’s been my experience that our plans and desires don’t typically line up with our Father’s.
None of us can judge the heart of others, but the amount of reverence I’ve seen for an individual is off putting to me personally, and it also discredits what many are actually fighting for. I assure you, this is not about a man. This was to preserve a manifested idea placed in the minds and hearts of men that came before us. That idea ultimately became the freest country in the world, The United States of America.. We the People For the People – “People” being the operative word here.
Now that idea seems more like a dream.
I am not ashamed of believing in that idea. But, I am ashamed of putting that idea in the hands of men and thinking it would be preserved. It seems as though we took the will of God for granted. Our country was His doing, as will be our undoing. Does He not have valid reasons? Can we honestly ask why this is all happening?
We are all guilty of it. Most of us have pride in our country, although the line between a righteous pride and misplaced pride is very thin. In our nakedness we see that we may have misplaced our trust, faith, hope and even pride. We are exposed. Our shame is now on full display to all the nations.
However, unlike Israel, our country has not been promised anything. We were given this country for His purposes and His alone. And whatever is left must be given over to Him, not men.

Health Secretary Alex Azar Calls Out CNN For Misleading Report On Resignation
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar criticized a CNN report late Friday night which he claims mischaracterized the nature of his resignation from the Trump administration.
“Contrary to the @CNN chyron, I am still here serving the American people at HHS,” Azar tweeted Friday night.
CNN’s Anderson Cooper reported on air that Azar had resigned and “taken a swipe” at President Donald Trump by citing the Capitol riot in his resignation letter.

Cooper’s report did not initially include that Azar’s letter indicated his resignation would not be effective until Jan. 20 at noon, when President-elect Joe Biden is sworn into office. Azar reiterated that on Twitter, saying, “I believe it is my duty to help ensure a smooth transition to President-elect Biden’s team during the pandemic and will remain as Secretary through January 20.”

Azar also did not explicitly cite the Capitol riot as the reasoning behind his resignation. He did mention it in his letter, calling the attack on Congress an “assault on our democracy and on the tradition of peaceful transitions of power.” He added that the events that have taken place since the election “threaten to tarnish” the legacies of not only his department, but the Trump administration as a whole.
It is common practice for political appointees within the White House to formally submit their resignations before the transition of power is finalized, in order to allow the incoming president to more quickly fill key administration positions.

American Thinker: Our Mounting Orwellian Nightmare
So we are to imagine that those who objected to Biden's having stolen the election are responsible for the violence at the Capitol? And that, going forward, any public official who questions Biden's win should be removed from office, and that any corporate leader who objects should be fired? All this when the truth is that Trump in all likelihood won the election.
It is the perfect example of Orwellian speech. In his classic essay "Politics and the English Language," Orwell spoke of the condition where "words and meaning have almost parted company." If that "almost" is a measure of Orwellian speech, then today's Democrat leaders are beyond Orwellian. Their words and meaning have parted company entirely.
As Orwell also stressed, the decline of language is both cause and effect of the decline of politics. When politicians and media begin speaking nonsense, it is the symptom of an underlying corruption of political thinking. The idea that the president should be removed from office for having defended the electoral process is truly bizarre, but it has been repeated throughout the liberal media and by most liberal politicians and even by some conservatives.
One might say progressives like Nancy Pelosi have become "unhinged," but that would let them off the hook. It would suggest that they don't quite realize what they are doing. But what they are doing is the result of crafty political calculation. They want to tie President Trump with the Capitol violence to the point that he can never run again. The same political deviousness lies behind suggestions that he should not be in control of the nation's nuclear arsenal because of his supposed mental instability.
None of these charges has anything to do with the truth. Those most responsible for the Capitol disturbance were those who rigged the presidential election, and certainly these individuals and those who coordinated their efforts or knew in advance or concealed information afterward should be punished. One might say those who committed acts of violence on the Hill should be punished to the same extent that Antifa and BLM rioters were punished last summer.
But the charges against President Trump are Orwellian in that they invert the truth. The president argued, as he had every right to do, that the election was rigged, and he urged peaceful protest to defend our republic.
Even the president's calming words on the afternoon of the Capitol break-in have been met with Orwellian reaction. When President Trump said, "Go home. Go in peace," the media charged him with inciting further violence because he expressed his "love" for his supporters. That expression of love did more than anything to get them to go home.
In a further Orwellian twist, Biden and his cronies appear to have adopted many of President Trump's ideas for running the country, but they can't admit where those ideas came from. Biden's not entirely sure we can afford to forgive all student debt, and he now believes that the existing border policies are necessary for the time being. Gov. Cuomo now says we must "open things up," just as President Trump and many conservative governors said we should. But he can't admit that the idea came from conservatives — it's his idea. None of these ideas was right when Trump was president — they're right only after Biden takes office.
The media will go along with this lie, in typical Orwellian fashion.

American Thinker: Our Mounting Orwellian Nightmare
The most important line in Orwell's famous essay is this: "In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defence of the indefensible." The progressive inversion of the truth is just that: an attempt to defend the indefensible.
If progressives were honest and straightforward, they would be forced to state that they are radical environmentalists and socialists who want government to control the economy and equalize wages; who want socialized medicine for all; who think religious expression should be outlawed; who believe in a universal guaranteed income; who want to outlaw the use of fossil fuels; who want to expand affirmative action putting blacks and Hispanics farther ahead of whites; who believe that any reference to biological sex should be outlawed; who believe that America should be not a global superpower, but merely one nation among others; who believe that abortion at any stage is a universal right; who believe that American aid should go to the Palestinians and not to Israel; and so on.
President Trump clearly stated his own beliefs on a thousand occasions — President Biden should do so as well, but he won't. He uses the Orwellian tactic of disguising his beliefs in gibberish, and this is not because he's going daft, as he well may be. He'll speak of "expanding Obamacare" rather than socialized medicine. He'll talk of "defense partnerships" rather than abandoning control of our military. And on the environment, it's not even possible to tell what he wants, but he wants $400 billion to do it. Once again, "the defence of the indefensible."
The coordinated effort to impeach and convict the president is nothing less than a propaganda campaign, and the associated suppression of free speech on social media and elsewhere is the beginning of a dangerous national decline. It's not possible to say where it will end, but we must be entirely clear about what is happening. A progressive government will attempt to further limit free speech, assembly, religious expression, gun rights, access to employment, and other basic liberties. Progressives have already threatened conservatives with prosecution and imprisonment for the "crime" of denying anthropogenic global warming and for questioning the result of the 2020 election. What's next? The persecution of every American conservative in the same way that Gen. Flynn was persecuted?
It's a fine line between federal prison here in America and Dachau in Germany, and one can transform into the other in a matter of weeks. It did so in Germany in 1933, just five weeks after Hitler became chancellor. Don't think it can't happen here. It begins with "the defence of the indefensible" — and that is already well underway.
