Late Friday, House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy finally got the briefing he has been demanding regarding what the FBI knew about Rep. Eric Swalwell’s relationship with a Chinese communist spy, just one of thousands of Chinese agents sent to compromise American officials and institutions.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also attended Friday’s briefing. McCarthy was stunned when he emerged from the briefing room and during later interviews with reporters.

Of course, the briefing was classified so McCarthy could not divulge details, such as the exact nature of Swalwell’s relationship with Fang Fang. But he was absolutely clear that Swalwell should not be on the House Intelligence Committee. And McCarthy is now calling for all members of the Intelligence Committee to receive the same briefing so they can understand what they’re dealing with.

McCarthy said the briefing raised unanswerable questions about why Speaker Pelosi has allowed Swalwell to remain on the Intelligence Committee.

“No one that was in that room could walk out and say Eric Swalwell should be on the Intelligence Committee,” McCarthy said. “They had a briefing before in 2015, and I don’t know what that briefing was like compared to this one, but it could not have been the same.”

McCarthy compared Swalwell to the “Manchurian candidate” and added that out of 200 other House Democrats she could have selected, Pelosi chose the one she knew was most compromised.

That raises the odd question: Does Eric Swalwell have something on Nancy Pelosi?

By the way, according to Sen. John Kennedy, the House recently passed the National Defense Authorization Act, but not before Pelosi gutted a Senate provision to continue the Trump crackdown on Confucius Institutes that are spreading communist propaganda on our university campuses.

Why was that commonsense provision gutted by House Democrats?

Communist Lies

Over the weekend, and more than 45 days since the election, CNN and The New York Times finally reported on the massive propaganda campaign that Beijing launched after the outbreak of COVID-19.

It had two purposes. First was to lie about the virus to make it more difficult for us and the rest of the world to combat the virus. Second, they wanted to make sure it did not end up being called the “Wuhan” or “Chinese” virus.

It has historically been very common for new diseases to be named after the areas where they originated, like the 1918 Spanish flu. There is tick-borne disease known as Rocky Mountain spotted fever. It’s called that because the disease was first identified in the Rocky Mountains well over 100 years ago. There are plenty of other examples.

But the Chinese communists desperately wanted this disease to not become affiliated with China or Wuhan in any way. Donald Trump, particularly after he found out how Beijing’s communists had lied, led the charge to call it “the Chinese virus.”

Once again, it was the Democrat Party, Nancy Pelosi, and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo who objected to that labeling and called Trump a racist for referring to it as “the Chinese virus.” They suggested he would be responsible for any hate crimes committed against Chinese living in the United States. And they said the same things when he cut off travel from China.

Why is it that every time there is a dispute between the United States and China, the Democrat Party takes the side of communist China? Why are they willing accomplices of Chinese propaganda?

By the way, the left-wing narrative that the U.S. is evil and founded on racism and genocide is also the narrative of the Chinese Communist Party.

Are progressives taking their cues from the Chinese Communist Party or is the Chinese Communist Party taking its narrative from the progressive left? Either way, the result is the same. Both are promoting anti-American narratives that benefit the Chinese communists!

The Fight Continues

God bless Donald Trump! He continues to fight, and is once again asking me and you to stand with him.

Over the weekend, the president’s lawyers filed a brief with the Supreme Court challenging the last-minute changes to Pennsylvania’s election laws that were made by rogue bureaucrats and state judges.

The president also announced that he is holding a rally in Georgia for Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue on January 4, and a “big” and “wild” protest in Washington, DC, on January 6th.

As you know, the Georgia runoff elections will decide which party controls the Senate majority and whether the left can ram through the most radical aspects of the Biden/Harris agenda. And January 6 is the day Congress is set to consider the Electoral College vote.

President Trump continues to fight for America, and we will continue to stand with him!
