Re: Chinese Nationals Are Part of Facebook’s Team That Censors ‘Hate Speech’…

That would explain why FB is fact-checking jokes and people's feelings. It's classic for Maoist-line ideology. I got a lot of that my last two decades public service.

So in other words, Trump did exactly the same thing in this debate cycle that he did in the last one. He used the first venue to observe the competition, draw them out a little, and then went on to dominate them in the final appearance.

Meanwhile the press spent the last week nervously fretting about Trump's bad behavior and advising him to be 'Presidential' which I guess means, polite & well-behaved. They're all congratulating themselves today and rewarding Trump with a 'Good Boy'

I wonder if there's a possibility (however remote), that Trump knows what he's doing? No, it can't be. If that were the case, he'd be busy chalking up successes.

Upvote. Great comment.

Not to mention that Trump has a full-time job so he has a lot of other things he has to get done in addition to preparing for debates, while Biden is an unemployed senior who has been sitting in his basement doing nothing since February.

In the debate Biden made a big deal about those 545 children that Trump locked up at the border and cannot be reunited with their parents. Trump pointed out that these children, for the most part, where lent/rented out by their parents to the coyotes or other adult illegal border crossers who used them in an attempt to subvert the law. That is illegal immigrants WITH children were treated differently than illegal adults without children. It is a sad and crazy story but not quite what the talking heads would have you believe.

Today a caller to a talk radio show stated that he worked for the government on the border trying to reunite these children with their parents. He said that in most cases for these 545 children the parents were located and the offer was made to bring their child(ren) back to them. But the parents refused!!! They refused because if their kids stay in the U.S. sooner or later some Democrat president will give them all amnesty which will lead to citizenship which will then lead to those children being allowed to bring in family members. It is all a scam!

So Mexican parents sell or rent out their children to people who want to enter the U.S. illegally and then when those kids are caught and the Immigration folks want to repatriate them the parents refuse to take them back?!?
I think that is the new definition of a Mexican abortion.

Re: The New York Times Discovers China

Carlos Slim, the majority stockholder of the New York Times, has a problem. He recently created a partnership with a Chinese car company, and plans to start manufacturing Sport Utility Vehicles in Mexico. But Washington D.C. will not give him permission to sell his cars in America, because they cost too little. That's right: Washington is fighting to keep car prices in America as high as possible. That's how they protect the Auto Workers Union, and get the votes.

Mr. Slim tries to explain away the import ban on Mexican vehicles: We’re not big enough to export to the US, and that would require a different level of investment. What a load of hogwash. The American Unions told Mr. Slim that they are not going to accept any competition.

Health care is a key point for American Auto Workers.. GM and Ford each spend more than $1 billion a year on health coverage. The average UAW worker pays about 3% of his or her health care costs. (The American taxpayer pays the other 97%.)

The White House just announced another peace deal. I think this is Trump's 5th or 6th peace deal (I've lost track). Far more than Obama's NO peace deals. Surely this will make Trump a shoo in for the Nobel Peace prize, right? I mean, it will, right?

I suspect that the Nobel peace prize committee would rather blow themselves all up with dynamite than give Trump the peace prize. I suspect the peace prize will go to... Well it has to be a POC and it has to be a woman, and an LGBQ person would be good and whoever it is should have been involved in a lot of violence lately... So, I'm guessing the founders of the BLM: Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Opel Tometi.

The fact that they are Marxist/socialist is just chocolate syrup on the chocolate ice cream.

The Nobel Peace Prize for 2020 has already bee awarded to the World Food Programme which is - as I understand - a UN agency. Comments made after this award was that this program is a typical UN agency in that most of the money raised goes to administrative and like costs, with only a bit trickling down to the intended recipients.

I believe you are correct. Trump is being nominated for the 2021 prize. He was not in consideration for 2020.

From the Nobel website

September – The Norwegian Nobel Committee prepares to receive nominations.

February – Deadline for submission. In order to be considered for the award of the year, nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize shall be sent in to the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo before the 1st day of February the same year.

Simply based on the trailer, I plan on renting Uncle Tom and, hopefully, recommending that others do to. It looks like a real story of America. People I can stand with in solidarity, 100%. A message like that needs to be heard by all Americans. I hope it's something my kids can watch.
