Trump is now in China with quite the retinue – including Musk. And he’s talking up Xi as if he’s the greatest guy, ever. Almost like there’s some big deal already worked out and this summit will merely announce it. We’ll have to wait and see, of course. But do keep in mind that Xi has to make nice with us right now.

A few days ago, two of Xi’s hand-picked military leaders were given suspended death sentences (which works out to life in prison) for corruption – and a host of other lower level military officials are being prosecuted. The Chinese government is corrupt – nothing gets done in China save via bribes, so convicting those two men of bribery merely means they fell out of favor. Why? Can’t say for certain, of course – but you gotta figure that the total failure of China’s weapons to protect Iran is playing a role here. Xi has spent vast sums to build a military capable of challenging the USA and the equipment is a complete bust. It might as well not be there as far as the US and Israeli air forces are concerned.

That, in turn, put a huge squeeze on China. For all the talk of China leading the way in green energy, they still massively rely on oil – cheap oil, provided at a deep discount from Iran. Said oil has not been forthcoming of late! And we still control the spigot…and will continue to control the spigot for a long time to come. At the moment, China can’t engage the USA in direct confrontation – until they manage to build a military force which can challenge us on the seas and in the air, they are entirely dependent upon our good will for survival. As I noted some years back, China is like Germany was back in 1910…very powerful, but still second rate because at the snap of fingers, the British could shut Germany out of the world’s markets. Makes sense for Xi to make a grand deal with Trump and hope that in later years another cowardly, traitorous Democrat will get into the White House and gift China world power.

Side note on this: while China ended the one child policy 11 years ago, Chinese couples still aren’t having a lot of kids…and at the moment the whole Chinese military is made up of the sons of one-child families. That is, the family line goes extinct whenever any Chinese soldier gets killed. This is very sensitive in Chinese culture. China has a military…but it is manned by men whom the Chinese are loath to sacrifice. Used to be, China could always count on endless waves of men for warfare…not so much any longer. Too many Chinese soldiers die and the families of the remainder might decide its time for a complete policy change before their sons – their family lines – are also wiped out.

The Ruling Class is trying to work up the hantavirus as the next Covid pandemic. Don’t know why they’re bothering – none of us are going to fall for it a second time. Until we start seeing people dropping dead right in front of us, we’re going to assume that any “pandemic” is a mere fraud designed to control us.

Democrat Senator Van Hollen tried to ambush FBI director Patel by bringing up the rumor that Patel drinks a lot – this rumor is, by the way, completely unsourced to named witnesses – and Patel responded by bringing up Van Hollen’s recent $7,128.00 bar tab. Van Hollen tried to get out of that by saying it was for 50 people, but that still works out to nearly $143.00 per person…and even in a DC bar with inflated prices, it means everyone pounded down at least 5 drinks. To be fair, that isn’t nearly what me and the shipmates used to do on a 72 hour liberty…but we also weren’t United States Senators…

Nolan’s upcoming Odyssey is rumored to be extremely woke – like woke on SSRI-strength steroids. If so – and it does appear to be the case – then I’ll be disappointed. Nolan has done some really good movies over the years and, in fact, over the past while has made about the only watchable movies. From what I understand, the problem isn’t just a Nolan thing here – in order for any film to get Oscar consideration, you have to check off lots of DEI boxes. If your cast and crew doesn’t, then it won’t matter how good the movie is, it can’t be Oscar nominated. There is a slight hope that Nolan just checked off the boxes and let the story alone, but the word is that he’s using a recent feminist re-write of the epic as his source material (it is claimed as a translation, but if you look into what this lady did, she re-wrote the story with modern Leftist ideology at its core). It looks as though we have another big-budget flop in the works here.
