Katherine Tai was confirmed by a unanimous senate vote today to become the United States Trade Representative. The vote was 98-0. Ambassador Tai has family connections in both Taiwan and China and replaces former USTR Robert Lighthizer.
The doctrine of President Trump was to use trade and economics to achieve diplomatic results on foreign policy and national security issues. It will be interesting to watch what happens now as the Biden Administration returns to using ideological diplomacy as the baseline… then providing economic benefits to support leftist objectives.
The rustbelt was created, and China rose to economic influence, on the political outlook once again in power in the United States. Ideology comes first, all other things changed, modified and or considered downstream in lesser importance than the ideology. This was how the alignment of Wall Street, Globalists and Beijing exploited Bush, Clinton-Clinton, Bush-Bush and Obama-Obama terms. The U.S. middle-class economy suffered greatly, while Wall Street multinationals thrived.
On the positive side there will be pressure from the Bernie Sanders wing to defend American jobs. However, that faction’s political leadership, like Bernie Sanders himself and AOC, will compromise the long-term interests of the American worker when the opportunity surfaces for personal and familial wealth. The Sanders types, just like the union leadership, can all be bought for the right price.
Ambassador Tai has not yet made statements about whether she will advocate for steel and aluminum tariff removal, but she is a big supporter of environmental justice as it pertains to trade and economic justice. The climate and trade issue here specifically is the potential for carbon taxes to be part of JoeBama trade policy. How? Well, that might look like the U.S. re-entering the Trans Pacific Partnership with a carbon trading system in place.
If international carbon-trading were to happen Beijing would be thrilled because they are already deep into an economic expansion system, a written multi-year trade strategy, where China pays other nations for their influence. They would shift seamlessly into paying a global carbon tax process by simply renaming their already existing bribes. Easy-peasy. Look out for this, because the international banking and finance sector wants it badly.
The fact that not a single Senator voted against Tai despite her open climate change proclamations is an indicator of how far the Senate is compromised by the multinationals, corporations and Wall Street. CTH will be watching what happens on a variety of trade fronts.
Ambassador Tai will likely first start on USMCA (NAFTA) compliance. We can predict this start point because it is related to the Southern border crisis. It is the first opportunity for JoeBama to leverage personal financial benefit by not enforcing USMCA compliance issues so long as Mexico goes along with the open-border initiatives needed by the JoeBama administration.
WASHINGTON – […] Tai, 46, enters the administration as the first Asian American in Biden’s Cabinet and the first woman of color to hold the trade representative post. She’s also the first trade representative since the George W. Bush administration to be approved unanimously by the Senate, though the nominees from Presidents Obama and Trump were also approved by wide margins. (read more)
My word.
I cannot despise the Senate Republicans any more than I currently do.
Aren’t we STILL waiting for some of President Trump’s nominees to get approved ?
These treasonist , self serving, uniparty , globalist lying scum should all be tarred and feathered.
Right the hell on!
Ooh, good timing, RNC begging letter came in the mailbox today. Now where’d I put that big Sharpie…..
Take that return envelope, and put something nice and heavy inside it. Something that the RNC will have to pay for. At this point, words are cheap. $$$ is what counts. That is how you’ll get their attention and off their mailing list….quick.
Flat rocks and small pieces of plate steel come to my mind.
Reinforce that envelope with some tape and presto!
That will get the Fan Belt Inspectors investigation on you
I thought that only happens when you sprinkle [carcinogenic] talcum powder in the envelope?
Silly me.
/sarc
They seem to be catching on. Far fewer political junk mails come with “permit” return envelopes these days. ??
I’ve not gotten a postage paid envelope from the GOP for some time now. I think they got the hint. They haven’t done anything about it but they got it.
On mine I wrote, “support MAGA or no money ever again”, slapped a stamp on it and put it in the mail.
My second begging letter hit my File 13 rather quickly. I used my Sharpie on the first to no avail.
Tar and feathering is for humiliating the yard arm is for treasonous traitors
Fixed it for you.
The US Chamber of Commerce has spoken!
Correction. U.S. Chamber of Chinese Commerce has spoken.
Southern Invasion, CCP Occupation
Disaster in the making. She received her advanced degrees from Harvard Law and a History Undergraduate Degree from Yale University. Her academic pedigree is a duplicate of all the other America Last Crowd at DoD, DoJ and the State Department.
She has zero business experience, a history degree, zero negotiating experience and is a career “political” diplomat.
Nothing says Red China Inc. agent like Ivy League Education, Parents from mainland China and Teaching at a China Inc. University.
Look at this girl’s history and background. The US Senate just seated a Red China Inc. spy to a critical job in the US White House.
Its frightening
One wonders whether Swalwell will get his FangFang handler back, or a newer model…
The CCP will probably give him both. What is to stop them?
Looks like far left diversity quotas all the way.
Be scared.
This not so much diversity as the demo-commies working towards a merger between their US Inc. Puppet Masters and China Inc. When major companies merge, there is normally an exchange of “executives”.
A good point.
Diversity is the vehicle used to move communist far left dopey non white males up through the system.
Next we’ll find out she is dating Swalwell.
I think Swalwell likes them younger.
I hear none of them like him.
I’m channeling Sharon Osbourne. She’s a f*cking wonton.
Yes, Tai is nothing more than an order
taker for the Communist Corporatist
Masters/ NO BUSINESS EXPERIENCE NEEDED.
What he correctly describes is largely the result of his kind of politics:
https://twitter.com/alexsalvinews/status/1371320763815321600
Why is this guy a democrat? They are everything he just ranted against.
He is at heart, a complete Rat. Don’t let the occasional clear vision fool you. He is a pos.
He is talking. Babbling like baby blowing bubbles making sounds.
A bit similar to Piers Morgan is what you are saying
Mahr is a boomer mostly woke, just not totally crazy.
I think he realizes trains and cattle cards are not his friends but still suffers TDS.
He had a pretty wide Libertarian streak. His original late night show was pretty good. Now he’s a Democrat with the occasional lucid moment.
I saw this video the other day – and, well, my thought was – he’s saying everything that Candidate and then President Trump was telling us and then started rectifying after taking office.
For five years we heard about these issues. Where was Maher then? Had his head stuck up in his “orange man bad” pie?
He was part of that obsession too. And, we didn’t lose shit, it was given away in exchange for personal wealth and prominence. I understand Trump not wanting to do a new party, but these Republicans are no different than Democrats. I would bet he’d be more successful changing the Democrat Party where many, many members have grown sick of the same winners (and losers) for the last 40 years. Many Dems want change too! Why should they move to RNC when it’s the same UniParty?
This is why I hate the idea of remaking the rep party. I understand the argument for why but on a strictly “feeling level” it fills me with disgust.
I agree, but we still need to leverage the mechanism.
I don’t think we need to worried about remaking the Republican Party. At the rate the socialist are moving and our inability to push back on their agenda will relegate any semblance of the Republican Party to that of a coatrack for the real leaders. Perhaps we’ll get a token every now and then but probably not.
AMERICA is being attacked six ways to Sunday by her internal enemy extremists.
These hostilities are so pervasive, so damaging to the nation’s health and security that, taken as a whole it amounts to a declaration of war.
A war waged one way can only only lead to America’s demise.
Which is the goal, in my opinion.
And yet no official elected or unelected, or citizen, or anyone else is doing a thing about it.
No one.
Seems many who see it, see the ramping up and our sliding down into tyranny and lost liberties, must retreat into comforting fantasies of ‘we’ll get ’em next time,’ actually expecting another shot at business as usual. Or else imagining a ‘somewhere over the rainbow’ rescue coming this time.
“If only… if only…”
For sure Lucy will hold the football steady next time.
BTW, “Buck”, I like your play on the name – but the “correct” spelling was, itself, also a nice play on words (for the character): Turgidson.
(But you probably already know that.. [g] )
I did know that and played around with that spelling to be a wise guy.
Wondered if anyone would ever notice ??
Its really a funny name and George C Scott was hilarious. It left an impression.
‘General Turgidson’. Try to not laugh
They should be hung or lined up in front of a firing squad. I hope I live to see that day.
Its is pretty demoralizing to read this and come to the reality this is exactly why the election was rigged. It was for this specific purpose and why and what Trump was trying to stop in the first place. Its sickening to say in the least. A sense of betrayal lays at the pit of my stomach embracing the reality of this confirmation and what it will mean in the future. 98-0? Wow! If anyone had any doubts about the Democratic party as well as the COC being taken over by the CCP and communist party then I suggest reading more and slapping yourself silly until you accept the truth.
Show me the way to protest.
Show me where I can contribute to stopping this?
Who can lead us so we can have options of taking back our country?
How can we fix our elections ?
Show me a time when we all can rise against and I can join?
Is this the end?
Breathe deep, Breathe deep, for the Lord is our last measure in the sea of apathetic lament.
No one is coming to save us “We the People” who seek and desire justice to right every wrong perpetuated by evil doers.
Maybe just maybe there will come a day the sun shines again at a time Lady Liberty’s torch has gone out.
Death can not be a welcomed guest for a nation hoping to fight another day to regain its sovereignty
A nation can survive its fools but not treason from within
There is much work to be done if we are ever to hope to reverse the tyrannical tide now taking place, and we must find new solutions to reverse this obscene course we are currently on
Show me, show me the way and I will follow Mr and Mrs American!
Amen. I feel your frustration.
IF the Election Process is NOT Fixed, will be NO need to vote !!!
Thats’ OUR #1 PRIORITY right now.
How ? Above my pay grade …
You hit on what so many people do not understand. As long as the election process is a fraudulent process what is the purpose for voting? What is the purpose of campaigns? What is the purpose for candidates? What is the purpose for sending money to a candidate? What is the purpose for sending money to a Political Party?
If Trump cannot win an election against a candidate as Biden, no one can win an election.
Fangdog, And you hit the nail on the head. There is no purpose to all this BS calling for local election involvement that will lead to voter integrity leading to what? The SUCKPREME CU*t saying it’s MOOT?
After reading Sundance’s CTH since 2016 (yep, I’m a newbie) I believe the only way our of this mess is the Red States seceding i.e. ignoring the Fed’s illegal EP’s OR CIVIL WAR 2.0.? I really can’t imagine all the red states defending the purge but I hope I’m wrong.
The illegitimate government now in place has all of the tools it needs to control us…except one and that’s why they have 20,000 pussy ass NG guarding them because they know we would kick their asses from here to China.
We need a BULLHORN louder than any Enemedia. Be it Helicopters will bullhorns, airplanes with banners, people out in the street demanding that the ELECTION FRAUD EVIDENCE be SHOWN in a COURT of Law…if that even exists anymore. Evidently there is one in Georgia but how long with that last until the CIA puts out a hit on that judge.
It’s not even funny anymore.
I’m ranting but I really want to know what TRULY happened in the White House the night that Sidney Powell and General Flynn met with President Trump.
I don’t trust Patrick Byrne so I’d like to hear it from the horse’s mouth. Kinda like what Sundance likes.
BTW-This is kinda off topic but 2 nights ago I read a comment regarding Sundance’s trip around the country. Remember that? It spoke of SD meeting with someone who basically said, “Don’t go down that path”. The source was eluding to not doing any further investigation or you will be “sorry”.
If we don’t act soon we will be removed just like President Trump. Think about that. They removed a legitimately
elected President and installed a demented lunactic!!!!
WE MEET AT THE OLDE MILL.
100%…Groups are forming for each state on telegram and there is progress being made. People with expertise in certain areas know how to navigate the system in order to get letters/documents to the appropriate places to force change. Forms letters are being provided so we can create massive impact. I can only speak for Texas but it does seem to be a great way to get the ball moving. So many don’t know what to do or where to begin so this has been a good way to organize, and telegram makes it very easy to coordinate efforts.
As far as republican governors go, good luck finding enough of them to help us fight to save our country. Abbott is terribly compromised; in the pocket of the CCP, and he has done a tremendous amount of harm to Texas. I’ve left many messages at his office letting him know that we know; I doubt he cares. Hoping someone spills whatever he’s hiding sooner than later.
The powerful corporations have created the most damage. They rule everything and everyone. The only thing they understand are $$$. I don’t understand why many find it so difficult to boycott all of them. Amazon, cutting the cable cord, walmart, target, nordstrom, lululemon, etc. I can name a big long list that are still going along with the face diaper farce; even after Abbott lifted the mandate which was unconstitutional to begin with. We could make a huge impact if we had the will to stick to our guns and stop funding the enemy. You would be surprised how many alternative places to purchase necessities once you decide to look for them; better quality too. However, so many want the convenience of pressing a button and voila, at your doorstep tomorrow. That’s how they’ve trapped us. So make a choice, freedom and independence or convenience while making the powerful enemy enrich themselves further. Remember, the politicians all benefit from these big corporations. Also, by starving the corporations you no longer allow the politicians to eat from the swamp trough.
People with expertise in certain areas know how to navigate the system in order to get letters/documents to the appropriate places to force change. Forms letters are being provided so we can create massive impact.
—–
Please say it in English. What kind of “letters/documents”? What are the “appropriate places”? How do those letters/documents “force change”? What kinds of “forms letters” are being provided? Whom are they “being provided” to? What is the “massive impact” on?
Sorry, not going to spoon feed. I told you to go to telegram to find the state you live in to help out. It’s a massive undertaking, and I’m not going to write volumes to explain all the details. Letters are directed to appropriate persons to force legislation with regard to voting machines. My response was to American Lady as she brought up the fraudulent election process and how it needs to be addressed. That is our top priority in Texas. Look to see if a group has formed in your state if you want to help out. If not, you may want to lead one. I was pointing out that telegram is a great platform to do so and many groups in various states have been well under way for some time.
I speak and write more than one language fluently. Your snark points out the difference between doers and those that sit back and criticize; not useful to the cause.
Another CCP connected member confirmed 98 to 0 go figure.
By By America it’s been nice
Ambassador Tai: F*ck you.
I grew up in a classic Ohio steel town where high school football is king and it was a wonderful place to grow up.
You f*cking assholes in DC, NYC and Beijing have done your best to destroy my hometown.
F*ck you.
Youngstown?
As the crow flies, I’m ten miles away. I’ll be waiting the rest of my life for Wolfe to get the Cuomo treatment re deaths in nursing homes.
Massillon
Whenever we get off our collective asses and hit the streets in mass, these pencil necked worms will continue. I’m ready for a plan. Tired of talking
I know. Where’s OUR Soros?
My parents grew up in classic Ohio towns and they are gone now. I know how you feel.
Rush’s intro song. I went back to Ohio. And my city was gone.
What this China & DC & Wall Street crowd has done to Portsmouth, Ohio, should be a death sentence to them. Better yet, get every one of these scumbags hooked on fentanyl.
Biden needs to tie Chinese pollution to Chinese Imports. Yes, sometimes I make the mistake to dream.
One can probably assume he would do the exact opposite. Tying CO2 taxes to American Exports.
He will make the connection. The US will soon pay Red China Inc. for the privilege of importing their solid pollution.
Heck they may even take a leaf from the Mel Brooks Movie “Space Balls” and export Beijing Canned Air to the US.
China gets to burn as much coal as it likes (none of our business really)..
But — these leftist pinheads are making self inflicted wounds on our economy w their dopey dreaming about carbon taxes and offsets and other wooley-headed bs.
Cutting our coal use will only hurt our economy raise energy prices freeze a lot of poor rural people.
As of the present the Republican Party is dead in the water.
The only thing worth doing at this point is to fix election fraud. I see no leadership coming out of Washington with any attempts for this being the case.
Goodbye USA, it was a nice run while it lasted.
It is going to take time for so much of this to gradually sink-in to the average Bloke. At some point there will be serious resistance as more people have concern similarities. What comes out of it is the question?
I do know this much if fraudulent elections are not addressed all else is just an exercise.
I’m Tired of reading about the inevitable BS
it pisses me off and leaves me in a bad mood
so I cannot follow it as closely as I have been
wake me up when its time to throw some rocks
more then ready here.
Fandog, you have been batting a thousand – for days now – as so many of SD’s posts on different travesties committed against us are all tied together under the same topic: the destruction, er, “fundamental transformation” of our Republic.
“It is going to take time for so much of this to gradually sink-in to the average Bloke.”
Your conclusion is mine as well. Too many Americans – adults who were born and raised in this country – have no clear idea what they are giving up, and losing, as our Constitution is shredded by ‘Rats and RINOS alike; in determined cooperation with each other, at the expense of our personal and national demise.
The greatest concern of the “average bloke” in the populous is to preserve one’s financial security and to keep the cable connected.
The majority believes that it really is all about taxes, and that they can still vote the bums out.
Our “elected” Officials are counting on this belief to hold, as they proceed day after day, and week after week, with the “fundamental transformation”.
I am headed to telegram right now. My own elected “officials” are studiously and deliberately not answering correspondence or voicemail messages. I am certain that they are no longer “open” to hearing our message; much less acting on it.
It pains me to read this. They control the narrative, the news, our politicians, our votes, our businesses, and every facet of our everyday lives.
I’ve been trying to lay low from reading too much politics because it just makes my blood boil to know we are completely powerless and can’t do a damn thing stripped of all our rights esp here in CA
i manage my son’s little league team as the games are opening up again here with strict covid protocols. (Yeah go figure thank you Biden) All coaches are required to wear facial coverings on the field. All players must wear facial coverings in the dugout. No fans allowed on the bleachers and only immediate families allowed to attend games. Even catchers are required to mask up behind the plate. Ridiculous rules to abide by or there will be no games.
This is our life here and what else is there to do than make the most out of it and just live our best life right Sundance ? Thanks for all your posts and keeping us informed. I’m trying .. and trying.. and still waiting and waiting for something good to drop.
The Covid Compliant Gulag of Killer Cumo’s NY is just the same, maybe worse. At least you guys have great weather.
I want to gently disagree with you – we’re not powerless en masse. Think about 74+ million people who stop complying, go on strike, etc. A few treepers pushing back here and there won’t be enough but with large numbers in a sustained effort……..
“They control the narrative, the news, our politicians, our votes, our businesses, and every facet of our everyday lives.“
Cf. w/ “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”—Benito Mussolini
The task of restoring our Independent Republic grows more daunting with each successive year. There is an urgent need for the churches to begin decrying this stranglehold with every Sunday sermon before they lose all opportunity to do so.
It seems the population in California is at a tipping point and there are more of you than you realize. Everyone needs to rise up, peacefully, and just not comply with these unconstitutional demands. What are they going to do? Arrest millions of people? As long as you go along to get along, things will only get worse. Rise up while you still can. Also, it may require a dramatic move like everyone pulling their children out of public school and demand they listen to the parents. My understanding is that they get paid for each child in attendance; no child, no pay.
Praying that Newsom’s recall is a success.
McConnell bribed all the Rinos, she is probably a relative.
She will do his bidding so Mitch can leave now and joy the fruits of his traitorous labor.
I am completely disgusted with all of them. I mean ALL OF THEM. Congress, Executive, Judicial, State, Local, Republican, Democrat are all so bought by China/Soros that I don’t know where to start.
How does a Nation just start all over again from scratch?
Start over? Start at the bottom with local elections; vote out incumbents; elect honest AG’s; boycott entities supporting the left’s agenda; deprive leftist entities of money; support an honest media (HA) and above all watch your back because BIG BROTHER is watching you.
AMERICA FIRST………………this might be its last chance.
It’s too late for that and with voting machines readily available to flip your votes that.
Something bolder is needed….
“Something bolder is needed….” – careful – you’ll have Leftist Wray’s stormtroopers knocking down your front door for just thinking about not OBEYING!
The French used their new shaving system….
I’m so disappointed in the Senate Republicans never standing up for the American people, it is a UNI party all for one and one for all and forget the American people. We really need a new party I don’t think that it’s the rnp I capable of changing
Can you explain the benefits of a new Political Party if fraudulent elections are the norm?
The overnight Stock Market has skyrocketed tonight with news Kathrine Tai has been approved. Wall Street is not Main Street. Wall Street is Globalist, Multi-Internationalist, Elites. Main Street are the American people (MAGA).
On one hand this is good news for retirement accounts invested in the Stock market, but bad news if the American economy goes in the tank. People are unable to fund their retirement because they have no jobs.
Biden and his administration assures an America pre-Trump economy with less civil liberties such as individual freedoms. The Gaul today is not one Republican stood-up for MAGA…..the American people.
The #1 single issue of importance is election / ballot security and reform…this is bad but just a diversion.
If the ratbag States control of voting rules can’t be fixed nothing can be fixed.
It will keep happening while low rent local “authorities” do what they please to get their party elected.
We now know SCOTUS has unbelievably looked away and will continue to do so. Before the election you have suffered no wrong to get relief from, the day after the election any election case is moot…it’s finished now, plebs.
SCOTUS has said loud and clear….fraudulent elections are now approved because SCOTUS refuses to deal with it. Period.
Once again Americas riches will go to China on the backs of all Americans, save a few who will get their dirty Billions…Like Joe and family.
I’m not sure why you would assume Bernie Sanders would want to protect American jobs?
What indication has he ever given that he places the American worker above the needs of the globalists?
When has he ever favored immigration restrictions to protect American workers?
This is just not true.
None of the new provisions of USMCA will be enforced. It’s defacto back to NAFTA. A full return to total capitulation tom China. Whatever they want goes. The American workers and middle class families are going to be mugged. Bad times ahead for what will be left of a disappearing American industry. SAD.
Correct and there will be no argument from the uniparty.
NAFTA . . . what’s that? Oh, you mean USMCA! Let’s quit the ruse . . . it’s the *obama administration III doing the damage.
on steroids…
Did I hear we can maybe count on Bernie Sanders?? A strident socialist concerned for American jobs? He sold out for a $700K cabin on a lake somewhere in the northeast in 2016. Left his fanatics pissed. Then he sold out again with Biden in 2020.
He has no principles, he’s useless. Push comes to $$hove, Bernie takes the filthy lucre.
98 – 0.
The United States Senate just voted to install a Chinese agent in the Cabinet 98 – 0. And that’s before they’re tabulated in Shenzhen.
It’s just a matter of time now.
“My fellow Americans; erections have consequences.”
So do Election Fraud Coups.
Too funny. A one child policy in China. No erections allowed in the US unless you social distance and wear a mask. Now that’s a way to reduce the U.S. surplus population. Why are American citizens becoming the latest and greatest food on Earth, “Green Solyent?” They like the white meat I guess.
The movie is called Solyent Green:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TGqLsnao5o
Simply put – the fact that Senate Republicans are voting to confirm ANY nominee of an illegitimate regime negates everything they might say in lip service to conservatism. I expect this level of contrition from RINO fakes, but it was a 98-0 vote. EVERY Republican voted yes, including the few who claim to be against voter fraud, who ridicule Biden, etc.
Please don’t tell me about how there are some good ones. They ALL confirmed the fake nominee of a fake president.
There is only one thing that democrat policies and actions bring and that is destruction.
Comments that Tai is most probably a Chinese Communist spy or “operative” are exactly what I thought: is it possible that this same thought did not occur to one of “our” senators?
Are they that naive?
Are they that stupid?
Or…have they gotten used to not wanting to know certain things in exchange for a heavy bank account?
This idiot history major is ‘replacing’ Bob Lighthizer?
What a clown show i think im going to be ill.
Drain the swamp
The timing of her confirmation coincides with the attacks on Asians. I want to see all these evil psyops operators exposed and destroyed
“On the positive side there will be pressure from the Bernie Sanders wing to defend American jobs. ” Sure he is…. . Look at the great job he’s doing keeping Ford production in Ohio. Anyone interested in a bridge? I may have several for sale coming up soon….
