They should start with Smithfield Farms. In the event of war with China, the chinks could poison and kill millions of Americans. After all, the filthy slants had a trial run with the Covid virus: they shut down internal flights throughout China but allowed hundreds of thousands of infected chinks to fly to other countries and contaminate the planet. China has not yet been held to account for the millions of deaths they caused all around the world.

According to Wikipedia:

“Smithfield Foods, Inc., is a Hong Kong-owned American pork producer and food-processing company based in Smithfield, Virginia. Founded in 1936 as the Smithfield Packing Company by Joseph W. Luter and his son, the company is the largest pigand pork producer in the world.

In addition to owning over 500 farms in the US, Smithfield contracts with another 2,000 independent farms around the country to raise Smithfield's pigs.

Outside the US, the company has facilities in Mexico, Poland, Romania, Germany, Slovakia and the United Kingdom. Its 973,000-square-foot meat-processing plant in Tar Heel, North Carolina, was said in 2000 to be the world's largest, slaughtering 32,000 pigs a day.

Then known as Shuanghui Group, WH Group purchased Smithfield Foods in 2013 for $4.72 billion. The acquisition of Smithfield's 146,000 acres of land made WH Group, headquartered in Luohe, Henanprovince, one of the largest overseas owners of American farmland.

While I can respect him declining to answer on the basis of HIPAA (A medical privacy act for any non-US Kiwis following along), invoking his 5th Amendment rights raises the question of what is he hiding that he thinks he would self-incriminate himself if he didn't or couldn't cite HIPAA.

Because HIPAA doesn't protect you like that. If police or Congress is questioning you, the only thing that can shield you is the 5th amendment.

I've been seeing numerous people on my personal social media talking about how great LA traffic has become, it makes me wonder if focusing so much on leftist cities might have the unintended consequence of improving the economy and general mood and lifestyles of them that it fucks over the GOP in the long run.

Gavin Newsom being able to hype up how amazing California is doing while hiding the fact that its because trump took a shitload of illegals out of his state.

One of my friends white kids just got their job and it was at a fast food place right by their house in LA, like its the fucking 90s. You really think that kid will ever get redpilled about minorities when the handful he sees will be the legal ones just like GenXers experienced?

edit:This might sound ridiculous but if you remember the 2000s you had books like freakonomics or other edutainment basically explain away a lot of the major victories the conservatives gave us because of the 90s crime bills and tough on crime policies.

like every person online back then would mock the old people for being scared to visit brooklyn or other major cities, they didn't experience the dark days so they just assumed a high trust society was the norm. Its why it was so easy for them to start up those anti-police movements in the 2010s, it was a whole operation by the left to get rid of Stop-and-frisk despite it being a huge reason NYC was able to clean up so quickly.

It depends on if Californians still retain some pattern recognition ability and notice that since the mass deportations their quality of life has dramatically improved

His version of """Monarchy""" is so far from the generally used meaning, he really shouldn't get to use the label. It's a cucked version where the monarch is bound by a nebulous group of corporations and a constitution. Basically he wants modern day America, but we call the president a King and enshrine corpo lobbying as the official means of legislation.

Ah, the sadly common phenomenon of correctly identifying what plagues society and then proposing batshit insane solutions for it.

Short version of it: China's provinces are assigned money by population. Desperate for cash (especially in the proverbial backlots of China), what happened is that provincial leaders just started openly lying on census data. Some of this was likely just to pocket the cash, but in a lot of cases this was money that genuinely went right into trying to improve shit for the backwoods (or so I've read).

Cut to about 30 or so years later, and all of these people that China's been hoping would be there to keep the proverbial wheels spinning just.... Never fucking materialize, because they never existed in the first place. The exact numbers vary depending on which source you site, but I've seen figures the state department's been sitting on suggesting that China's way under a billion, so take anything you read with all due salt.

A persistent proverb in China (or whatever culture is pretending to inherited the areas history) is “Heaven is high and the emperor is far away”. Basically, is it breaking the law if one is around or no one who can actually hold you accountable.

It’s the Eastern equivalent of “It is easier to beg forgiveness than to seek permission.”

I hate this overly extreme reaction to things autists have. It can never be as simple as being disappointed in Trump for the past couple days of blunders and just criticizing him. No, you criticize Trump even a little then you must be talking about having him impeached! You have to go all they way, it's either you want him impeached or you think he's the next coming of Christ, there is no in between apparently. Stop being so dramatic, have some nuance in your thought.

Look, Trump. Just overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, and you can do whatever you want. I don't care.

One can only wonder why some wealthy people in Silicon Valley have become fans of his ideas.

Trump is really leaning into the Royal "We", and I am here for it. This letter was clearly written by him and sent. The shrieks of "nooo, you can't do that, you can't talk like that" are just seasoning for my joy.

The Crown of America is being wielded for the first time in over a century, and commie faggots like Lula are getting put in their place. God save the King.

Let's say that there was an epstein list and that it wasn't deleted in the coverup. What use would putting those names out there be? You can't prosecute and convict someone for being on a list. It could be the basis to start an investigation but just the document itself wouldn't do anything.

Rephrase your question with lolcows and you shall get your answer.

Created refers to the beginning, as in a baby, end results of that baby once it's a man vary widely. Niggers with a mother and father at home growing up don't go to jail as much as the typical she-boon raised jungle bunny.

It’s more a philosophical-religious term. To invoke Sargon, have you read Locke? Jefferson was the main writer of the declaration, but got edited by Adams, Franklin, Sherman, and Livingston. The entire thing is Enlightenment philosophy tempered by a fat hedonist, a federalist, possibly the most respectful slave owner, and the 2nd oldest guy at the Continental Congress.

The “all men created equal” is a reference to natural rights, which some subhuman Germans might call spooks. Basically the God granted rights. Every man ought to be able to speak, worship, defend himself, and other things and the Government acknowledges that. @Potentially Criminal or @AnOminous would likely know more due to being lawyers and I think (at some point) Papist Americans.
