    Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Thursday told CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge that the communist Chinese government is using blackmail, bribery, and covert operations to target lawmakers on Capitol Hill as part of a broad effort to influence policymaking.”

    China’s behavior since before the pandemic have been despicable. They are today’s evil empire. Their campaign to control and blackmail members of the media and congress into creating propaganda or influence for their issues is a danger to America. Their cover up of the China virus is evil.

    China is fighting a Cold War. Make no mistake. They have infiltrated and are actively seeking to destroy America. The left is happy to oblige them.

    Americans have been unwittingly fighting Israel's wars while being domestically hammered by the left, meanwhile China has been gathering its strength. There are a lot if useful idiots out there.

    It is putting pressure on Aus as well

    That is not the problem

    The issue is - will anyone cave to this pressure? (thinking here of a certain country leader desperate for money and desperate to stay in power)

    “The left” is not a cash strapped faux billionaire with a huge debt cliff looming

    Democrats have already caved.

    "China's not the enemy". No? Then why did it buy up most of the PPE, starving the world. It damn straight is an enemy.

    Yep. Trump. He's the one who put the Beijing Biden lie into Trumpists' heads. Now it's stuck there, alongside the Kenyan birth certificate. Both are being squeezed out by the election fraud lie, though. Something's gotta give pretty soon. Sometime around Jan. 20th, I believe.

    Actually that would be Hillary who started the birth certificate question!! At least be a little informed.

    And there are far more connections with Biden profiting off China.

    Guess Trump being harsh on China was all a ruse:) While Biden was the one rubbing elbows and telling people China isn’t doing anything wrong.

    Hillary didn't put the lie into your head. Address what I wrote.

    Everybody profits off of China, including the Trump family. The idea that Biden is doing so illegally is the lie.

    It's not illegal if you're not prosecuted for it.(Oh the truth of that statement is so heart wrenching.). Lobbying is a more noble word for blackmail, but it's completely legal. Let's just say China lobbies Biden, and a good host of Democratic politicians per the intelligence community.

    I have no clue what you're talking about. Sounds conspiratorial.

    You can add Governor Brian Kemp and the Georgia Sec. of State to that list.
