The Trump administration is set to remove thousands of Chinese students with links to military schools from the United States .
While China is currently crushing the rights and freedoms of Hong Kongers , the Trump administration has decided to respond in kind by expelling Chinese students that have links to People ’ s Liberation Army , according to officials that spoke to the New York Times .
The insiders have claimed that the move has been in the works for a while , but has been sparked off by the recent moves by the CCP regarding Hong Kong .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ cohort of international students in the country .
The move was praised by a number of experts in national security .
David Reaboi , a commentator on “ national security and political warfare , ” said the move was “ right , proper and long overdue.
” Reaboi pointed out that “ universities have long prized the income they get from rich , regime-connected Chinese students , even as it ’ s a national security threat , ” and that while they will “ squeal ” over this decision , “ a sane @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s next generation of fascist oligarchs.
” Bill Evanina , a top official in the counterillegence office section of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence , noted that “ a lot of our ideas , technology , research , innovation is incubated on those university campuses , ” and given that ’ s “ where the science and technology originates , ” it ’ s the “ most prime place to steal ” this information .
I think this move is far long overdue .
Given that China is clearly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the West , why should we let anyone with links to the CCP into our countries ?
Anyone that is controlled by the Chinese government is a security threat – while these students may be young , that doesn ’ t mean they ’ re any less of a risk to this country and its security .
Thank you President Trump for once again standing up for the interests of the American people !

‘Right, Proper And Long Overdue’
While China is currently crushing the rights and freedoms of Hong Kongers, the Trump administration has decided to respond in kind by expelling Chinese students that have links to People’s Liberation Army, according to officials that spoke to the New York Times.
The insiders have claimed that the move has been in the works for a while, but has been sparked off by the recent moves by the CCP regarding Hong Kong. Chinese students currently make up the largest cohort of international students in the country.
The move was praised by a number of experts in national security. David Reaboi, a commentator on “national security and political warfare,” said the move was “right, proper and long overdue.” Reaboi pointed out that “universities have long prized the income they get from rich, regime-connected Chinese students, even as it’s a national security threat,” and that while they will “squeal” over this decision, “a sane country has no obligation to educate China’s next generation of fascist oligarchs.”
Right, proper, & long overdue. Universities have long prized the income they get from rich, regime-connected Chinese students, even as it's a national security threat. They will squeal, but a sane country has no obligation to educate China's next generation of fascist oligarchs. https://t.co/30GImP1pfV — David Reaboi (@davereaboi) May 28, 2020
Bill Evanina, a top official in the counterillegence office section of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, noted that “a lot of our ideas, technology, research, innovation is incubated on those university campuses,” and given that’s “where the science and technology originates,” it’s the “most prime place to steal” this information.
Chinese Students Are A Threat!
I think this move is far long overdue. Given that China is clearly the greatest threat to the United States and the West, why should we let anyone with links to the CCP into our countries? Anyone that is controlled by the Chinese government is a security threat – while these students may be young, that doesn’t mean they’re any less of a risk to this country and its security. Thank you President Trump for once again standing up for the interests of the American people!

thepoliticalinsider--2020-05-28--Fauci Backtracks As He Admits Second Coronavirus Wave May Never Happen – Calls Mask-Wearing Symbolic

Dr. Anthony Fauci , a member of the White House coronavirus task force , is now backtracking regarding a second wave of COVID-19 , which he now admits may never happen .
This is in stark contrast to the story he was pushing last month , when he steadfastly claimed the second wave was inevitable .
During an interview with CNN on Wednesday , Fauci changed his tune about the future of COVID-19 , saying there may never be a second wave .
“ We often talk about the possibility of a second wave , or of an outbreak when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said .
“ We don ’ t have to accept that as an inevitability .
Particularly , when people start thinking about the fall .
I want people to really appreciate that , it could happen , but it is not inevitable.
” Fauci went on to say that he is feeling more and more confidant with each passing day when it comes to America ’ s future in dealing with coronavirus , saying that the U.S. can avoid a second wave if we are able to have the “ workforce , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the kinds of things that are the clear and effective identification , isolation , and contact tracing.
” It should be noted that Fauci was saying the complete opposite thing just last month , when he told MSNBC that “ It ’ s inevitable that the coronavirus will return next season .
… When it does , how we handle it , will determine our fate.
” As for masks , Fauci is now admitting that they may actually not do anything at all , and instead described wearing them as more of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to protect myself and protect others [ by mask-wearing ] , and also because I want to make it be a symbol for people to see that that ’ s the kind of thing you should be doing , ” he said .
Fauci added that while wearing masks is not 100 % effective , it is a gesture that shows “ respect ” for other people .
It ’ s becoming increasingly obvious to many Americans that we greatly overreacted to this pandemic , and much of this reaction can be traced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then took his predictions and ran with them , in some states using them to take control of every aspect of our lives that they could .
With even Fauci backtracking , it ’ s time for us all to calm down and focus on reopening America .
Enough is enough , and it ’ s time for this nonsense to come to an end .

Following the tragic death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers , Rep. Maxine Waters has stoked the flames of racism saying President Donald Trump is the reason police officers feel they can get away with “ killing black people.
” In an interview with “ TMZ Live , ” Waters commented on Floyd ’ s death at the hands of “ white supremacists.
” “ I ’ m reflecting on all of the killings of young black men in particular , but of course black women too , at the hands of the police and at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” she said , wearing an ill-fitting mask while in nobody ’ s presence .
Waters proceeded to do what she does best during the interview – abandon reason and sanity by tying President Trump , who has absolutely nothing to do with what happened in Minneapolis , to the officer ’ s actions .
“ And I ’ m thinking about the way that the president conducts himself — in a way he ’ s dog-whistling — and I think that they ’ re feeling that they can get away with this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with about as much evidence as she usually has to back up her arguments – none .
The President meanwhile , has tasked the FBI and the Department of Justice with investigating the case which he defines as “ the very sad and tragic death ” of Floyd .
“ My heart goes out to George ’ s family and friends .
Justice will be served !
” Trump said .
That doesn ’ t sound like a man who winks and nods at law enforcement officers with a go-ahead to kill unarmed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is somehow to blame isn ’ t a smart take , but it ’ s also not an original one .
An equally intellectually challenged Joy Behar made the same assertion on “ The View.
” “ You know , it doesn ’ t help – I mean , I hate to bring Trump into this , but it doesn ’ t help that the president of the United States says things like , don ’ t be so nice , ” Behar spat .
Waters ’ proceeded to suggest that the police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Floyd ’ s neck enjoyed what he was doing .
“ I think that the officer who had his knee on his neck enjoyed doing what he was doing , ” she said .
“ I believe sometimes these officers leave home thinking , ‘ I ’ m gon na get me the one today ’ — and I think this is his one that he got today.
” If you think all police officers occasionally go to work in the hopes of killing somebody , you might be a low-IQ individual .

Fox News host Tucker Carlson tore CNN apart for referring to violent rioters in Minneapolis setting fires to businesses and engaging in a crime spree as “ protesters.
” Agitators seeking to capitalize on a tragic situation have been rioting over the last couple of days over the death of George Floyd , a black man who was killed by Minneapolis police officers earlier this week .
Looting , violent riots , burning buildings to the ground , and assaulting supporters of President Trump ensued .
Tucker began the segment by noting at least one of the officers in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and another kneeling on his neck while he repeatedly yelled , “ I can ’ t breathe , ” could be “ criminally charged.

“ Democracy can not exist when people are rioting , ” he continued .
“ Rioting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the strong and the violent oppress the weak and the unarmed .
It is oppression.
” Carlson then turned his attention to the mainstream media , particularly CNN , for coddling thugs who choose to burn down their city as a means to pretend they care about Floyd , or his family , or justice .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-05-28--Senator Graham Calls Rod Rosenstein As First Witness In Senate’s Russiagate Inquiry

Former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will be the first to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee next week on the origins of the Russia probe that entangled President Donald Trump and his associates for the last three years .
Senator Lindsey Graham ( R-SC ) issued a statement yesterday after announcing Rosenstein would testify before the committee at a hearing entitled “ Oversight of the Crossfire Hurricane Investigation : Day 1.
” Senator Graham ’ s statement reads , “ Mr .
Rosenstein will testify about the new revelations contained in the Horowitz report concerning the FISA warrant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be the first in a series of oversight hearings regarding all things Crossfire Hurricane and the Mueller investigation.
” A committee aide confirmed that Rosenstein has accepted the invitation to testify at the hearing , which is scheduled to take place next Wednesday .
“ Crossfire Hurricane ” is the FBI ’ s internal code name for the bureau ’ s original investigation into whether members of the Trump campaign were colluding with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election .
That investigation was launched by the FBI in July 2016 .
Graham @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other things , look at “ whether Robert Mueller should have ever been appointed as special counsel.
” The hearing marks a pivotal step in the investigation by the Republican-led panel—one that President Trump and his allies have been aggressively encouraging in recent weeks as they seek accountability for the rogue officials and bureaucrats who have worked relentlessly to take the president down since the election of 2016 .
The committee ’ s investigation is expected to focus on a wide range of issues related to the Justice Department ’ s handling of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into special counsel Robert Mueller ’ s probe .
In May 2017 , Rosenstein appointed Mueller after then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from overseeing the investigation due to his role as an adviser to the Trump campaign during the 2016 election .
Robert Mueller ’ s team eventually announced that it found no evidence of collusion .
Rosenstein also penned the “ scope memo ” for Mueller ’ s investigation in August 2017 , outlining the authority of Mueller .
Earlier this month , the memo was released in full and revealed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s authority went significantly beyond what was previously known .
The day after the hearing in which Rosenstein is set to testify , the committee is expected to vote on a broad subpoena giving Graham the authority to compel documents and testimony from a slew of former Obama and Trump administration officials , including James Comey , Susan Rice , and current FBI Director Christopher Wray .
U.S. Attorney General William Barr is also on that list .
Will this be yet another dog and pony show , or will America finally start @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
That remains to be seen .
It will be interesting to watch this unfold to see if those senators who have been hitting the political talk show circuit for the last few years claiming they want “ accountability ” actually press Rosenstein and other pending witnesses for real truths .

Comedienne Kathy Griffin ’ s Twitter account was suspended this week for violating the social media platform ’ s rules after she tweeted yet another disturbing message about wishing bodily harm ( and the implication of death ) to President Donald Trump .
On Tuesday , CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta posted a tweet that noted how President Trump pondered whether he should be given an insulin regimen at a White House diabetes event .

A tweet from The Washington Examiner mentions this , and Griffin also responded to that—confirming that was her intended message : Griffin ’ s tweet ended with “ # TrumpLiedPeopleDied , ” a social media hashtag used by critics blaming the president for the coronavirus response .
Griffin ’ s original morbid tweet is no longer visible on the platform and has been replaced by a message which reads : “ This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ violated the Twitter rules .

” Twitter reportedly suspended Griffin after receiving numerous complaints about her original tweet , confirming that it violates company rules on abusive behavior .

The Scandal
Earlier this month, the acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, declassified a list of Obama operatives who sought to unmask former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Those names involved in the requests included then-Vice President Joe Biden, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former CIA Director John Brennan.
It also included former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under Obama, Samantha Power, who made the request seven times despite testifying that she could not recall doing so.
While unmasking isn’t inherently wrong as Kupec notes, leaking names caught up incidentally in phone call intercepts is a felony.
A 2017 report by Fox News states that FISA rules require “that if an American with Constitutional protections is collaterally caught in such surveillance,” as Flynn had been, “his or her identity must be protected.”
They add that disclosing that American’s identity is “a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.”

Joy Behar, co-host of ‘The View,’ blamed President Donald Trump for the death of George Floyd, a black man who was killed by Minneapolis police officers earlier this week.
Floyd’s death has sparked national outrage after a video surfaced showing three officers holding him down, with another kneeling on his neck while he repeatedly yelled, “I can’t breathe.”
Behar, while claiming she didn’t want to bring the President in a controversial and tragic story that does not involve him in any manner, did just that.
Trump’s Fault
The only people responsible for Floyd’s death are the police officers who restrained him despite no signs of resisting arrest.
Behar doesn’t quite agree.
“You know, it doesn’t help – I mean, I hate to bring Trump into this, but it doesn’t help that the president of the United States says things like, don’t be so nice,” she told viewers. “Remember when he said that?”
“I don’t like that there is this feeling that it is open season on these people. It’s very frustrating,” Behar continued. “I don’t know what else to say about it at this point. There are no words anymore. It’s got to be stopped.”
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg can be heard agreeing, simply adding, “yeah.”

Out of Context
President Trump’s comments telling law enforcement not to be too nice with criminals are being taken wildly out of context.
Trump made that statement in reference to handling violent MS-13 gang members in a speech in Long Island, New York, in 2017.
“When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough. I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’” he said.
“When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head you know, the way you put their hand over [their head],” Trump continued. “Like, ‘Don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody, don’t hit their head.’ I said, ‘You can take the hand away, OK?'”
Floyd was neither resisting arrest according to videos nor had he just killed somebody.

Trump Demands an Investigation
Contrary to Behar’s false assertion that Trump has declared “open season” against African-Americans, the President has already called for an investigation into Floyd’s death.
“At my request, the FBI and the Department of Justice are already well into an investigation as to the very sad and tragic death in Minnesota of George Floyd,” he tweeted.
“I have asked for this investigation to be expedited and greatly appreciate all of the work done by local law enforcement,” Trump continued. “My heart goes out to George’s family and friends. Justice will be served!”

Anti-Trump groups and the PACs of Democrat national players are trying to stop the surging candidacy of pro-Trump GOP contender Claire Chase by donating large sums and running media against her anti-Trump primary opponent , Yvette Herrell .
With a close race to be decided in a primary next Tuesday , Democrats and extremist progressives are doing all they can to ensure Herrell is the nominee , so they can easily beat her in the fall .
Patriot Majority , a PAC funded by Nancy Pelosi allies , Chuck Schumer ’ s super PAC , and pro-abortion groups spent $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Republican primary in New Mexico ’ s 2nd congressional district , attacking Claire Chase and supporting Yvette Herrell .
On top of that , the leading feminist abortion rights group in the country , EMILY ’ s List , is spending nearly $ 25,000 supporting Yvette Herrell and opposing Chase .
The EMILY ’ s List mailers and Patriot Majority PAC ads falsely claim Claire Chase ( a strong supporter of President Trump ) opposes Trump .
The dishonest spots also say Herrell —who recently bashed Trump and used taxpayer funds to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where a Trump pinata was hung so attendees could get a whack at the president ) — is a strong supporter of Trump .
Democrats and progs are heavily invested in Herrell because they know she is unelectable in the general election .
She somehow managed to lose a district the president carried by 10 points in the 2016 race .
She lost by double digits in 2018 .
That makes her easy pickings for the Democrats in 2020 .
Herrell ’ s record , as opposed to Chase ’ s longtime conservative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ desired in a GOP nominee .
She took a pledge not to raise taxes and then voted for massive tax hikes on New Mexico families .
Even worse , records show Herrell has repeatedly failed to pay her own property taxes on time .
That ’ s not something independent voters will embrace in the middle of a pandemic that is wreaking havoc on middle class pocketbooks—another reason the Democrats have clearly come to the conclusion that Yvette Herrell is the only candidate they have a chance of beating in November .
This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrat tactic all over the nation .
If Democrats posing as friends and fellow conservatives can intervene in GOP primaries , then they can choose who they want to face in the fall .
It ’ s like letting an NFL team pick their own schedule .

Pro-Trump Republicans from a successful private sector background , like Chase , are being targeted by these Pelosi- and Schumer-sponsored groups because they pose a threat not only to a Democrat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because once in office they will bring a perspective and expertise to legislation that will be anathema to Never-Trumpers and Democrats alike .
The primary is close and Chase has good momentum .
But the sad fact is voters have been fooled before by RINOs like Herrell masquerading as Republicans .
Conservatives and Republicans who want to see a real Trump supporter and solid conservative as a candidate should vote for Claire Chase .

Anti-Trump groups and the PACs of Democrat national players are trying to stop the surging candidacy of pro-Trump GOP contender Claire Chase by donating large sums and running media against her anti-Trump primary opponent, Yvette Herrell. With a close race to be decided in a primary next Tuesday, Democrats and extremist progressives are doing all they can to ensure Herrell is the nominee, so they can easily beat her in the fall.
Patriot Majority, a PAC funded by Nancy Pelosi allies, Chuck Schumer’s super PAC, and pro-abortion groups spent $250,000 in the last 10 days of the Republican primary in New Mexico’s 2nd congressional district, attacking Claire Chase and supporting Yvette Herrell. On top of that, the leading feminist abortion rights group in the country, EMILY’s List, is spending nearly $25,000 supporting Yvette Herrell and opposing Chase.
The EMILY’s List mailers and Patriot Majority PAC ads falsely claim Claire Chase (a strong supporter of President Trump) opposes Trump. The dishonest spots also say Herrell —who recently bashed Trump and used taxpayer funds to attend a Never-Trumper conference in California (where a Trump pinata was hung so attendees could get a whack at the president)— is a strong supporter of Trump.
Democrats and progs are heavily invested in Herrell because they know she is unelectable in the general election. She somehow managed to lose a district the president carried by 10 points in the 2016 race. She lost by double digits in 2018. That makes her easy pickings for the Democrats in 2020. Herrell’s record, as opposed to Chase’s longtime conservative credentials, leave a lot to be desired in a GOP nominee.
She took a pledge not to raise taxes and then voted for massive tax hikes on New Mexico families. Even worse, records show Herrell has repeatedly failed to pay her own property taxes on time. That’s not something independent voters will embrace in the middle of a pandemic that is wreaking havoc on middle class pocketbooks—another reason the Democrats have clearly come to the conclusion that Yvette Herrell is the only candidate they have a chance of beating in November.
This is a small part of a larger Democrat tactic all over the nation. If Democrats posing as friends and fellow conservatives can intervene in GOP primaries, then they can choose who they want to face in the fall. It’s like letting an NFL team pick their own schedule. In 2019, everyone would have wanted to play the Bengals and the Lions.
Pro-Trump Republicans from a successful private sector background, like Chase, are being targeted by these Pelosi- and Schumer-sponsored groups because they pose a threat not only to a Democrat retention of a House majority, but because once in office they will bring a perspective and expertise to legislation that will be anathema to Never-Trumpers and Democrats alike.
The primary is close and Chase has good momentum. But the sad fact is voters have been fooled before by RINOs like Herrell masquerading as Republicans. Conservatives and Republicans who want to see a real Trump supporter and solid conservative as a candidate should vote for Claire Chase.

Kayleigh McEnany Perfectly Smacks Down Reporter Who Asked How Many Dead Americans Would Be Considered A COVID-19 Success

Earlier this week , White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany had no trouble shutting down a reporter who asked her how many dead Americans would be considered a coronavirus success .
The question was asked by Ryan Lizza , a reporter for Politico .
“ What does the White House view , as having by election day , what does the White House view as the number of dead Americans where you can say that you successfully defeated this pandemic ?
” asked Lizza .
“ Is there a number ?
” The question was clearly designed to throw McEnany @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about to let that happen .
“ Yeah , you know , every loss of life counts , ” McEnany replied .
“ We say 100,000 , but like the president says , one death is something to be mourned .
These 100,000 individuals have a face , the president takes this very seriously , it ’ s why he lowered the flag to half-staff for three days to remember these men and women.
” “ I think , you know , Dr. Birx said it best when she said that in their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2.2 million people in the U.S. succumbing to the virus if we didn ’ t shut down the economy .
The president made the very hard choice of shutting down the economy , so we avoided that extraordinary number , ” she added .
“ One death is too many ; we never want to see a single individual lose their life , but that being said , to be under significantly that high mark shows that the president did everything in his power and help to make this number as low as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Lizza put the same question to McEnany once again .
“ So when voters go to the polls in November , and they want to judge the president on his response to this pandemic , what is the number of dead Americans that they should tolerate , where they can argue that yes , he successfully defeated the pandemic ?
” he re-inquired .
“ I think you ’ re asking the wrong question , ” McEnany responded .
“ The right question is… ” Lizza tried to loudly object to this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any of it .
“ I answered your question once , but if you ask it twice it doesn ’ t make it any better of a question , ” McEnany replied .
“ So I ’ ll respond in kind .
I ’ ve given you one answer , I ’ ll continue to extrapolate upon that , ” concluding , “ This president made the right choice , it was a delicate balance , and he did it exactly as he should , guided by data , and we are far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the actions of President Trump.
” McEnany has only been the press secretary for a few weeks , yet she has already shown journalists that she is not someone they can just walk all over .
Liberal reporters are going to have to step their game up if they think they can back McEnany into any kind of corner , because she is not about to let them disrespect President Trump on her watch .

Earlier this week, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany had no trouble shutting down a reporter who asked her how many dead Americans would be considered a coronavirus success.
The question was asked by Ryan Lizza, a reporter for Politico. “What does the White House view, as having by election day, what does the White House view as the number of dead Americans where you can say that you successfully defeated this pandemic?” asked Lizza. “Is there a number?”
The question was clearly designed to throw McEnany off, but she wasn’t about to let that happen. “Yeah, you know, every loss of life counts,” McEnany replied. “We say 100,000, but like the president says, one death is something to be mourned. These 100,000 individuals have a face, the president takes this very seriously, it’s why he lowered the flag to half-staff for three days to remember these men and women.”
“I think, you know, Dr. Birx said it best when she said that in their estimates they had anywhere between 1.5 and 2.2 million people in the U.S. succumbing to the virus if we didn’t shut down the economy. The president made the very hard choice of shutting down the economy, so we avoided that extraordinary number,” she added. “One death is too many; we never want to see a single individual lose their life, but that being said, to be under significantly that high mark shows that the president did everything in his power and help to make this number as low as humanly possible.”
Unsatisfied with this response, Lizza put the same question to McEnany once again. “So when voters go to the polls in November, and they want to judge the president on his response to this pandemic, what is the number of dead Americans that they should tolerate, where they can argue that yes, he successfully defeated the pandemic?” he re-inquired.
“I think you’re asking the wrong question,” McEnany responded. “The right question is…”
Lizza tried to loudly object to this, but McEnany wasn’t having any of it. “I answered your question once, but if you ask it twice it doesn’t make it any better of a question,” McEnany replied. “So I’ll respond in kind.

McEnany has only been the press secretary for a few weeks, yet she has already shown journalists that she is not someone they can just walk all over. Liberal reporters are going to have to step their game up if they think they can back McEnany into any kind of corner, because she is not about to let them disrespect President Trump on her watch.
