Bingo

 

Some kid in Italy apparently had the Kung Flu back in November. Of 2019.

 Yeah.  How many times did I say this shit was in America by December 2019 at the latest?  I'm right.

A four-year-old boy in Italy was infected with coronavirus as early as November 2019, it is believed, in the latest piece of evidence that the disease was spreading around the world well before China acknowledged the outbreak. 

The child, who lived near Milan and had not been travelling abroad, came down with a cough on November 21 last year and was taken to a hospital's emergency wing days later.

On December 5, 2019, a swab was taken from his throat, and that specimen has since tested positive for the virus that causes Covid-19. 

Fucking China and their pet politicians here in the USA (Hi there, Biden family!) are going to be the death of not just us, but the world.

The "conscious uncoupling" from China can begin now, thanks.

Tom Cotton puts forth a plan to bring drug manufacturing back to the USA.  Good.  About damn time.  Let's get our manufacturing of everything back here instead of letting a communist dictatorship do it.

If there's a silver lining to this whole Chinese virus panic, it's that people are finally waking up to just how much of our life has been shipped to China.  And they might actually start wondering who did that, and who profited off of it.

Always look on the bright side of life

Ms. Bookworm has a few thoughts.

I am more and more convinced that the hysteria over the Wuhan virus is being manufactured for the benefit of the Democrats and their allies.  Just like how the Democrat Media Complex is now screaming that calling the Wuhan Flu the Wuhan Flu is racist, despite the fact that this virus came from Wuhan and the Chinese government did everything wrong and caused a pandemic.

Don't worry, be happy!  And never trust the Chi-Coms.

Has the Wuhan Kung-Flu been here all along?

I say "Yes".

Look, you cannot convince me that the Wuhan virus just suddenly appeared last October.  That is just when the Chi-Coms were unable to stop the spread of information regarding the Kung-Flu.

But people in China were getting sick long before that.  And I'm willing to bet that they were coming here, doing the tourist things, and passing that virus on to the people here.  Nobody was searching for it here.  It was just "Oh, you've got the flu.  Stay home."

I betcha.

So it's a National Emergency

Because of the Wuhan virus.  By the way, every time you mention the Wuhan virus, make sure you call it by its proper name:  Wuhan virus.  Apparently, the Left is now claiming that calling it the Wuhan virus or Chinese coronavirus is racist.  Because in the twisted, drug-addled brain of a Leftists, naming something after where it first appeared is racist.  But that's life when you mainline Marxism with your meth, I guess.  So I'm going to call it the Wuhan virus from now on.  "Coronavirus" is a name for a family of viruses we've been dealing with for millennia now, and Covid-19 doesn't piss off enough Leftists.

Wuhan Flu.

Wuhan virus.

Wuhan coronavirus.

Chinese coronavirus.

Take your pick.  Use 'em all at once for multiple head-popping effect!  Call it the Wuhan Kung-Flu and see who's head spins off in outrage.  Then you'll know who you can trigger in a crowd.

By the way, when Trump blasts the CDC for their Soviet-style control on the Wuhan Flu test, he wasn't wrong.


The media continues to be a toxic dumpster fire of Leftist, Marxist propaganda run by walking pieces of human garbage.  Yes, I know I harp on this a lot.  But dammit, these people are absolute tools of both China and the DNC, and I'm going to scream back at them in the only way I can.

President FuckUp

To start with, go check out an epic twitter rant about the Office of Personnel Management hack job, storified onto one web page.

And then understand that no matter how bad people think the hack job was, it's actually worse.  The Chinese were in the OPM database unfettered and undetected for over a year.  The Office of Personnel Management, for those who don't know, are the people in charge of running background checks for security clearances.  As such, they have every last bit of information on the people they're investigating.

Name.  Social Security number.  Place of birth.  Residences for the last seven years.  Employment for the last seven years.  Aliases.  Family member's information.  Financial information.

You want to completely fuck over someone?  Take their SF 86 and give it to a criminal.  And the Chinese had access to over four million of these records.

And "President LadyParts" as Mr. Wilson calls him is once again playing his game.  Shifting blame, downplaying it, "I read it in the news!" kind of bullshit.  Because actual leadership in this situation is impossible from a gutless pathetic piece of shit who has never once displayed any kind of real leadership in his entire life.

This is a fuck-up beyond compare, and the worst part is, nobody in D.C. is going to do a thing about it.

You know that's true.  You know it.

Oh, and now there's a massive, electronic database of people's health information thanks to Obamacare.  Don't you feel safe?  Don't you feel secure?

a little laugh brought to you the the AP

China on Sunday started investigating complaints that American chicken products are being dumped in China and are unfairly benefiting from subsidies, adding to a string of trade disputes with Washington.

This really is all about a tit-for-tat trade war brought on by a tariff on Chinese made tires being raised. I still find it amusing. At this time I would be perfectly happy if we would just stop purchasing anything from China. Really after the baby formula, dog food, toothpaste and the children's dolls with lead paint, I find it hard to believe these were mere accidents. I really think the Chinese are trying to kill us. Unfortunately there are enough people that will look at the price tag and not where it was made, just to save a buck. Do you have any idea of how many of our consumables, things we put in our bodies, are made in China? I do, because I won't buy them. I occasionally begrudgingly buy clothing, like shoes, made in China, only because there are no other reasonable options. I am always elated when I find an item that I expect to be made in China is made in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Tiwan, Korea or another place that is not trying to kill us.

Happy shopping

U.S. eletrical grid hacked

Are we surprised yet??????

The warning has been out for a while that this could happen. The fact that it did is not surprising. Nor is it surprising that the hackers came from China, Russia and "other countries". I almost find humor in them leaving behind the program that could be used to disrupt the system.

I don't know exactly what parts of the U.S. are controlled by this grid but I think it is time we ask ourselves if we are ready for a country wide black out?????

The spies came from China, Russia and other countries, and were believed to be on a mission to navigate the U.S. electrical system and its controls, the newspaper said, citing current and former U.S. national security officials.

The intruders have not sought to damage the power grid or other key infrastructure but officials said they could try during a crisis or war, the paper said in a report on its website.

"The Chinese have attempted to map our infrastructure, such as the electrical grid," a senior intelligence official told the Journal. "So have the Russians."

2.	characterized by often poignant difference or incongruity between what is expected and what actually is; "madness, an ironic fate for such a clear thinker"; "it was ironical that the well-planned scheme failed so completely" Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said earlier on Friday Beijing expected to see results from U.S. President Barack Obama's economic recovery plan but expressed concern that massive U.S. deficit spending and near-zero interest rates would erode the value of China's huge bond holdings.

Are we seeing the begining acts of a potential war?

Chinese naval officials say a U.S. naval ship that was involved in a standoff Sunday near China's southern coast was on a spying mission.

In an article carried Wednesday in the official China Daily newspaper, naval officials said it was clear the USNS Impeccable was not just a surveillance ship, but a spy ship.

Vice Admiral Jin Mao, the former vice-commander of China's navy told the newspaper that anyone with eyes could tell what the ship was up to.

Other naval officials noted that the Chinese navy was well within its rights to intercept the vessel. They also say the Impeccable's presence was a threat to Chinese vessels.

The U.S. government says Chinese vessels harassed the Impeccable Sunday while it was towing sonar equipment - that is designed to monitor submarines - in international waters.

The naval dispute comes as Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi is in Washington this week to meet with U.S. officials.

China-US sea confrontations could continue

The U.S. accused Chinese ships of surrounding and harassing its Navy vessel in international waters, coming within 25 feet (8 meters) of the USNS Impeccable, stopping dead in front of it and strewing debris in its path. Some of the Chinese crew even stripped to their underwear after a blast by U.S. fire hoses.

"They seem to be more militarily aggressive," U.S. National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday. "I think the debate is still on in China whether as their military power increases they will be used for good or for pushing people around."

He called Sunday's incident the most serious episode between the two nations since 2001, when a U.S. surveillance plane collided with a Chinese fighter jet near the same area.

China's Foreign Ministry said the American ship "broke international and Chinese laws in the South China Sea without China's permission."

The incident will likely be discussed when Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi visits Washington this week. The U.S. Embassy in Beijing lodged a protest with the Foreign Ministry and said the Navy mapping vessel had been conducting "routine operations ... in accordance with customary international law."

The latest confrontation between U.S. surveillance craft and Chinese coastal defenses took place in international waters in the South China Sea about 75 miles (120 kilometers) south of China's Hainan Island, the home of numerous Chinese naval installations.

Observers said Beijing appeared to be asserting its claim to refuse rights to foreign navies wanting to carry out surveillance within its 200-mile exclusive economic zone.

The zone, under international law, gives a state certain rights over the use of natural resources there. Shen Dingli, director of the Center of American Studies at Shanghai's Fudan University, said China wants to exert control in the waters beyond economic interests.

Ye-haw!!!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States urged China to observe international maritime rules on Monday after five Chinese ships harassed an unarmed U.S. Navy ship in international waters in the South China Sea.

"Our ships operate fairly regularly in international waters where these incidents took place. We are going to continue to operate in those international waters and we expect the Chinese to observe international laws around them," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told a news conference.

A second article discusses this in more detail.

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration vowed Monday to keep up military surveillance in waters off China and protested to China about what it called harassment of an American ship doing that work last week. The Pentagon charged that a Chinese intelligence gathering vessel and four others "shadowed and maneuvered dangerously close" to the USNS Impeccable surveillance ship in the South China Sea on Sunday, then threw obstacles in the water as it tried to leave.

In an odd twist, the unarmed Impeccable, which is operated for the Navy by civilian mariners, turned fire hoses on one vessel that came within 50 feet of it. The Chinese crew stripped to their underwear, then closed to within 25 feet.
