The U.S. economy under Joe Biden is thriving so much that a majority of Americans believe the country is in a recession. CNBC were the first to report on a recent survey by Affirm, which found that despite the Biden regime that the U.S. economy is strong, most people aren’t feeling the benefits. The most persistent problem has been inflation, which almost ran into double figures during Joe Biden’s early years in office and that some experts believe was higher than the official statistics showed. Just last week, it was reported that there had been a “historic surge” in corporate bankruptcies, currently at a level not seen since the COVID pandemic. Meanwhile, a separate survey recently found that over a quarter of Americans skip meals due to the rising cost of food. Almost half of those people said they did so in order to afford payments on their house. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/bidenomics-majority-americans-believe-country-is-recession/ Ties between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) are becoming more alarming, with Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer revealing that the VP hopeful is connected to “secret police stations that the Chinese have here in the United States.” During Schweizer’s latest appearance on Breitbart News Daily, Walz was accused of being connected to a group called Minnesota Global that is allegedly tied to a secret Chinese police station in the Twin Cities. While speaking on several of the Minnesota governor’s unsavory links to the Chinese government, Schweizer mentioned the “secret police stations that the Chinese have here in the United States,” which are unofficial but “so-called united front groups that exist in the West.” Schweizer, who also serves as president of the Government Accountability Institute, said these stations “cooperate with Chinese intelligence” in order to “intimidate Chinese that are living in the United States that don’t like the CCP or [are] critical of the CCP.” Such secret police stations have been reported across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and other countries where the CCP has identified Chinese expats who are critical of their government. According to Laura Harth, a campaign director with Spain-based human rights non-governmental organization (NGO) Safeguard Defenders, they have identified 102 Chinese police service stations operating across 53 countries. China has denied that they are operating police stations overseas, claiming that such institutions exist to provide services like driver’s license renewals. Schweizer said the stations are known to kidnap detractors. Going on to refer to one alleged CCP police outpost in the Twin Cities, Schweizer said it is “tied to a group called Minnesota Global, which is a Tim Walz organization.” “Now Tim Walz in 2020 and since 2020 has talked ad nauseam about the abuse by the police, the Twin Cities police, the local Minneapolis Police, about their terrible behavior with regards to how they arrest people,” the author continued. “I have not found one criticism that Tim Walz has had of this Chinese secret police station that’s operating in the Twin Cities. So again, you have to wonder, why is there this disconnect?” he posed. “Why are you so critical and brutal on your own country, but you won’t do a scintilla of the same thing as it regards to China?” Today marked the third anniversary of the Taliban regaining control of Afghanistan thanks to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ catastrophic withdrawal from the country. Now, the Taliban is rubbing their victory in every American’s face. Voice of America News (VOA) reported the Taliban marked the third anniversary Wednesday of recapturing power in Afghanistan with a public holiday and a televised military parade at the former U.S.-run Bagram airbase. The celebration featured a 21-gun salute and speeches from top Taliban leaders, with thousands of people in the male-only audience, according to VOA. Guest post by Jeff Rainforth An agent who spoke to me under the condition he remains anonymous told me that immediately after Joe Biden took office in 2021, official email communications from his administration instructed all Border Patrol agents to turn in family members, friends, and co-workers if they believed that the election was stolen or tampered with. The communications also directed agents to turn in people they knew if they were against the COVID-19 vaccines and lockdowns. The emails directing agents to hand over names may have gone out to all federal agencies, although the agent did not indicate this. The Biden administration surely wanted names from Border Patrol agents in order to monitor communications or social media accounts. But the administration went even further than just people who believed the election was stolen. Biden’s people instructed agents to turn in those who didn’t believe in the vaccines and the lockdowns. The Biden administration, with its socialist leanings, was intent on monitoring private citizens because of their beliefs. This is something straight out of the Communist Chinese Party’s playbook. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/exclusive-all-border-agents-told-turn-family-co/ X-Data released their results from the historic Donald Trump-Elon Musk X Spaces interview that took place on Monday night. X-Data confirmed Tuesday evening that 70% of the audience sharing the Trump-Musk interview was from the 25-35 year-old age group. X Corp CEO Linda Vaccarino commented on this amazing number: “Young, curious, engaged and tuning into X for a new kind of political conversation.” EXCLUSIVE: Former President Donald Trump is set to sue the Justice Department for $100 million in damages over the government’s unprecedented 2022 raid on his Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida, with lawyers arguing it was done with “clear intent to engage in political persecution.” Fox News has obtained Trump’s memo claiming “tortious conduct by the United States against President Trump.” After the raid, Special Counsel Jack Smith was appointed to investigate. Smith ultimately brought 37 felony counts against Trump, including willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and false statements. Trump pleaded not guilty to all counts. But U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, last month, dismissed Smith’s case against Trump altogether. Cannon ruled that Smith was unlawfully appointed and funded, citing the Appointments Clause in the Constitution. Trump attorney Daniel Epstein filed the notice to sue the Justice Department. The Justice Department has 180 days from the date of receipt to respond to Epstein’s notice and come to a resolution. If no resolution is made, Trump’s case will move to federal court in the Southern District of Florida. “What President Trump is doing here is not just standing up for himself – he is standing up for all Americans who believe in the rule of law and believe that you should hold the government accountable when it wrongs you,” Trump attorney Daniel Epstein told Fox Business’ Lydia Hu. Soviet-style centrally administered price controls on food and grocery prices will form part of the federal economic proposals U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris will unveil Friday when she finally delivers an insight into her 2024 policies. The Democratic nominee is promising to institute a first-ever national ban on price gouging and price-fixing within her first 100 days in office in an effort to deflect many voters’ low marks for President Joe Biden’s handling of the economy. Time magazine reports Harris plans to direct the Federal Trade Commission and other agencies to investigate and penalize “big corporations” that violate government rules in a mirror of Soviet command economy diktats. Other ways of tackling price fixing and selective anti-competitive practices in the food and grocery industries will also come under scrutiny, her campaign said by way of previewing her full set of economic proposals. Harris will also reportedly detail plans to cut prescription drug and housing costs in the economic address during her visit to Raleigh, North Carolina. In her speech, the Democratic candidate will specifically single out the highly consolidated meat industry, deeming its processing middlemen “particularly egregious” price fixers with a history of being found to have illegally controlled prices, the Time report sets out. In the comment section, Musketeer says, "Price controls are pure madness! They lead to diminished supply, shortages, empty shelves, hoarding and chaos. And a broken economy. And collapse. Heaven help us…PLEASE wake up, America." Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) keeps proving why he was such an excellent running mate choice for President Trump and put his talents on display again in Michigan on Wednesday. Vance made a campaign stop at Byron Center, an unincorporated community south of Grand Rapids... Following Vance’s speech, a “reporter” from the New York Times decided to take his opportunity to lie about the latest garbage economic report on inflation (which rose another 2.9%) to trip him up. But this backfired spectacularly. REPORTER: I’m with the New York Times. I wanted to ask you about the latest economic news this morning, with inflation now being under 3%, the lowest rate since mid-2021. What is your reaction to that news? (crowd starts booing) VANCE: Well, I think the crowd reaction says it all. Look, when they say that inflation is down, they mean from a baseline where groceries are already 30% more expensive than they were when Donald Trump was president. (crowd applauds) VANCE: And they’re not saying it’s coming down; they’re just saying it’s not going back up as fast as it was three years ago. That is not a reputation or record to brag on; that’s a record to be ASHAMED OF. It’s so funny. Kamala Harris, on the one hand, will say we need to tackle the affordability crisis…and then on the other hand, she’ll say we got inflation under control. So, which is it, Kamala? The simple truth is Americans are finding the basic necessities in middle-class life less affordable. Americans are becoming, especially young people, are becoming paupers in their own country. If we don’t do better, our young generation is not going to own anything…they’re going to be renters in the country their parents and grandparents built. Inflation is a DISASTER, Kamala Harris does not have a leg to stand on. Breaking: Volodymyr Zelensky approved the operation with US allies to blow up the Russian Nord Stream Pipeline to Europe. Via Euro News: • German prosecutors on Thursday issued the first arrest warrant in their investigation into the undersea explosions in 2022 that blew up the Nord Stream gas pipelines to Europe. • The individual was identified as Volodymyr Z. (what a strange coincidence?) • The explosion caused 800 million cubic meters of gas, equivalent to about 3 months of Danish gas supplies, to escape. According to reports: The CIA knew Ukraine blew it up – and the CIA and Biden regime lied to the American public for two years now! This whole time the CIA, State Department, Biden White House, and media outlets in the know were lying to the American public about the explosion! On Feb. 8, 2023, veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published a detailed account of how the Biden administration’s National Security Adviser, Jake Sullivan, instructed the CIA to destroy the Nord Stream pipelines in December 2022, well before the start of the war. Hersh’s detailed account remains the most convincing version of the events, although it is routinely either “debunked” or ignored by the mainstream press, who prefer to speculate about anonymous Ukrainians who blew up the massive, 3-inch thick concrete and steel pipelines using a sailboat. Writing again on the anniversary of the attack, Hersh revealed new details from his intel source about how the Biden administration misled the CIA into thinking the sabotage plans were meant to deter Putin and preserve peace, while instead aiming to cripple Germany economically and make sure Germany did not succumb to Russian pressure. When German chancellor Olaf Scholz visited Washington on February 7, 2022,Joe Biden warned that “If Russia invades … there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.” Asked by a reporter how he could promise this since the pipeline was under Germany and Russia’s control, Biden said: “We will, I promise you, we’ll be able to do it.”
