…Meanwhile, communist China is buying up America’s farmland…

Increasingly more American farmland is being bought up by non-Americans, including the communist Chinese who are reportedly swiping up as much as they can as quickly as possible.

According to reports, congressional lawmakers are suddenly concerned about all this Chinese real estate activity, prompting members of both major political parties to pursue a legislative crackdown.

After decades of basically handing over America to China, politicians are all of a sudden concerned, we are told, about foreigners grabbing ownership of prime agriculture parcels throughout the Midwest.

Billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates is similarly buying up American farmland for purposes that remain shrouded in secrecy.

House lawmakers are pushing new legislation to supposedly oust China’s presence from agricultural real estate, which puts the American food system at risk. Senate lawmakers say they, too, are supportive of the effort.

Both Congress and the Biden regime are pretending to care, some 30 or 40 years too late, about America’s near-total economic reliance on China, which makes the vast majority of consumer goods sold in the country.

China provides everything from food to semiconductors to minerals deemed crucial to the supply chain, even though many of these things used to be grown, manufactured, and mined right here in the United States.

Former Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Elizabeth Warren are jointly pushing for more regulation on who gets to own American farmland.

“America cannot allow China to control our food supply,” Pence stated during a recent gathering of the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing think tank, adding that Biden and Congress need to “end all farm subsidies for land owned by foreign nationals.”

By 2020, China had already gobbled up nearly 200,000 agricultural acres in the U.S.

For years, Chinese corporations have been gobbling up American farmland to the tune of about 192,000 agricultural acres by the start of 2020. All that land is collectively worth about $1.9 billion, and it is being used for farming, ranching and forestry, according to the government.

Canadians and Europeans also own millions of acres in America’s heartland, which is being shamelessly sold out to the highest bidder for a quick profit.

CCP Chairman Jack Sellers Delivers Letter To Senate After Defiance of Subpoenas — Senator Wendy Rogers Calls for Treason Charges

Maricopa County and Dominion failed to comply with the Arizona Senate subpoenas by today’s deadline.

Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers is ready to throw them behind bars for treason.

Maricopa County Chairman Jack Sellers released a contemptuous letter to the Senate where he mocked the efforts by his volunteer constituents and repeated the same lies told to us by the big tech billionaires who funded this election.

Sellers told the Senate to release the report and be prepared to defend it. He knows that they cannot release the report without finishing the audit of voting systems. This is why he refuses to give them access.

The Arizona Senate initially requested to do a joint audit with Maricopa County to ensure accuracy and knowledge of elections protocols but the County declined, loaded a truck with ballots, and said “do what you will”.

Now that evidence is coming out, we are starting to see why they refused this offer.

Chairman Jack Sellers has some close ties with the Chinese Communist Party.

Who does he really answer to?

74% of Covid-19 Cases in “Cape Cod Cluster Outbreak” Were Fully Vaccinated

This must be the “pandemic of the unvaccinated” Joe Biden and the fake news media keep talking about.

Massachusetts – 74% of Covid-19 cases in the “Cape Cod cluster outbreak” in July were fully vaccinated people, according to the CDC.

According to the CDC, the cluster outbreak involved all three of the major Covid vaccines available: Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson.

4 people were hospitalized, two of them had underlying conditions and no one died.

“In July 2021, following multiple large public events in a Barnstable County, Massachusetts, town, 469 COVID-19 cases were identified among Massachusetts residents who had traveled to the town during July 3–17; 346 (74%) occurred in fully vaccinated persons,” the CDC report said. “Testing identified the Delta variant in 90% of specimens from 133 patients. Cycle threshold values were similar among specimens from patients who were fully vaccinated and those who were not.”

The Boston Globe reported:

A closer look at the recent cluster of COVID-19 cases linked to July celebrations on Cape Cod is shedding light on the risks the Delta variant poses to fully vaccinated people. Provincetown’s town manager has said there are almost 900 cases associated with the cluster. A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released Friday zeroed in on the 469 Massachusetts residents involved with the outbreak and made recommendations on how jurisdictions can curb the effects of highly transmissible variants.

Almost all of the positive cases were caused by the Delta variant (B.1.617.2), the report showed. The Delta variant is one of the most troubling coronavirus variants to date, known for being highly transmissible and causing more severe illness than other strains. It’s currently the most common variant in the United States, responsible for more than 82 percent of cases nationwide. Public health officials have advised that vaccines are effective against the variant and prevent death.

Evictions Start With Nancy Pelosi & The House On A 7-Week Break

The pain starts in the South. Laws and procedures to evict tenants in some Southern states are among the most landlord-friendly in U.S…

Nationally, about 16% of adult renters live in households that are behind on rent payments.

Checking in With Nancy Pelosi

Time Ran Out on Renters

“In my view, clear and specific congressional authorization (via new legislation) would be necessary for the CDC to extend the moratorium past July 31,” Kavanaugh wrote.

The WSJ reports Renters in South Appearing Most Vulnerable.

A senior White House official said last week that an administrative—rather than legislative—extension of the moratorium would quickly be struck down by the Supreme Court. [Mish Comment: How can Pelosi not know this?"]

Renters in Southern states are among the most vulnerable to the ban’s expiration, U.S. Census survey data indicate. Mississippi, South Carolina and Georgia tenants are more likely to carry rent debt than the U.S. average, surveys show. Nationally, about 16% of adult renters live in households that are behind on rent payments.

In Mississippi, tenants can lose their eviction case in court and be removed from their home on the same day. In Arkansas, landlords can pursue criminal charges for tenants who don’t pay rent. And in western Tennessee, where a federal judge ruled that the CDC ban was unconstitutional, tenants are already getting evicted for nonpayment.

Rent increases in cities like Charlotte, N.C., Jacksonville, Fla., and Memphis, Tenn., have outpaced the rest of the country. In Atlanta, rents rose 12.7% during the past year, according to listings website Apartment List, exceeding the national average of 10.3%. Rents in some Atlanta suburbs have risen more than 20% during that period.

On CNN, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) said on Sunday that the House should reconvene to extend the moratorium and she also cast blame on the White House for not requesting Congress act earlier. The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Qantas stands down 2,500 staff due to Sydney lockdown

Qantas has announced that around 2,500 workers will be stood down from mid-August in response to the extended Sydney COVID-19 lockdown.

Key points:

Qantas will stand down around 2,500 frontline workers for an estimated two months

The airline will pay affected staff for the next two weeks, then they will be reliant on government support payments

Qantas is operating at less than 40 per cent of domestic flight capacity, mainly due to the Sydney lockdown and closed borders to NSW

The airline said that both Qantas and Jetstar frontline employees would be affected, and have to rely on government support payments once they are stood down.

The staff will be paid in full for their two-week notice period, commencing now.

The federal government yesterday announced that airlines would be able to claim $750 a week for up to half of their air crew workforce on the condition that none were retrenched.

Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce said the stand down announced today was forecast to last for two months, but no further job losses were expected after last year's huge redundancy program.

"Qantas and Jetstar have gone from operating almost 100 per cent of their usual domestic flying in May to less than 40 per cent in July because of lockdowns in three states," Mr Joyce said in a statement.

"Hopefully, once other states open back up to South Australia and Victoria in the next week or so, and the current outbreak in Brisbane is brought under control, our domestic flying will come back to around 50 to 60 per cent of normal levels.

"Based on current case numbers, it's reasonable to assume that Sydney's borders will be closed for at least another two months."

The Qantas boss had warned staff in an email around a fortnight ago that stand downs were possible if lockdowns were extended or expanded.

CDC Director Walensky: Vaccinated Children, Adults Should Wear Masks Inside K-12 Schools

Appearing Monday during the Biden administration’s COVID-19 Response Team press briefing, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky stated that both adults and children, whether they are vaccinated against the coronavirus or not, should wear a mask indoors at a K-12 school in the coming fall.

A transcript is as follows:

REPORTER: A lot of Americans remain very confused about the recommendations. They don’t understand why vaccinated people need to start wearing masks again, they are confused about what this means for their children in schools. I’m wondering if you think that your messaging has been clear enough to the public and what, if anything, are you going to try to do address the confusion and maybe simply things for ordinary Americans out there who don’t follow every nuance of the science?

CDC DIRECTOR DR. ROCHELLE WALENSKY: Maybe I’ll start with the children and say our guidance is very clear where we should be in schools and this is everyone who is in a K-12 school in the fall should be masked.Everyone across the country, adults, children, vaccinated or unvaccinated, everyone should be masked.
