This indictment summary reads like a movie script.
A member of the Chinese Communist Party, Shenghua Wen, 42, of Ontario California, came to the USA on a student visa in 2012; he never left.
Wen remained in the USA illegally, while somehow purchasing “a firearms business in Houston, paid for with money sent through intermediaries by one of Wen’s North Korean contacts.”
After organizing a covert life in the United States, and after purchasing the firearms company, Wen began sending weapons and sensitive military hardware to China, where it was transshipped by prior agreement and sent into North Korea. You just have to read the DOJ press release to review the unbelievable system Shenghua Wen had put into place.
“Wen also acquired or offered to acquire a civilian airplane engine and a thermal imaging system that could be mounted on a drone, helicopter, or other aircraft, and could be used for reconnaissance and target identification.” [READ MORE]
Wen plead guilty to the charges and now faces “a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison on the count of violating the IEEPA and a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison on the count of acting as an illegal agent of a foreign government. Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 18.”
“After organizing a covert life in the United States, and after purchasing the firearms company, Wen began sending weapons and sensitive military hardware to China, where it was transshipped by prior agreement and sent into North Korea.”
How many more like him are there that we have not discovered?
Many I believe!
They are legion …
And how many are in congress?
Look at how Massie and Rand are fighting against MAGA and BBB.
Yes, because our country has not been serious about allowing foreigners to live in our country, going so far as to allow them to purchase land, even ports – who knows what else. You can bet China doesn’t do this.
National suicide is what is happening.
U.S. Greed. Corn Pop.

BUT we are inclusive and don’t judge.
Historically we have had long immigration cooling off periods of 10-20 years. That’s as in almost no immigration, certainly not the “overstaying the visa” type. I have that in my own neighborhood…
Like cockroaches.
Doing the jobs that normal everyday Americans won’t.
You’ll have to ask the FBI for that info. They have a complete list of criminals they support in our midst.
In theory, now that whichever agency actually ” broke ” this set up open, will provide info and avenues and understanding which will lead to the legions of others doing the same.
How many more like him are there that are being protected by the Democrats for a slice of the action?
An entire network who know of one another and work for their stealth leaders in communist countries, is not a far stretch.
Thousands of government databases, but in different agencies, apparently hands-off to “DOGE-thinking, could reveal those kinds of questions VERY SIMPLY! One way suggested; compare FFL dealers to an IRS database containing immigrant status. In my way of thinking, the notion of having “over-stayed Visa’s” are a clue to laziness or stupid management!
As with the drunk driver analogy – how many drunk drivers are caught the

The system of tracking
F-1 visa holders is seriously flawed.
This guy should never have ‘disappeared’.
This case is a perfect example of how the enforcement and followup on visa holders needs
Immediate
Change.
Like, yesterday.
Millions? I may be underestimating that amount but that is my first guess.
What in the world has been going on that this sort of thing was ignored in DC? Chinese are trying to kill us by poisoning our crops or by the looks of it by any means necessary.
How could he even pass the background check to own the firearms business?
Seriously. How messed up is our national security system….. Yet, we take off our shoes at the airport?
Madness!!
Mark Levin was raving about this article today:
The Moral Vacuum Overseeing U.S. National Intelligencehttps://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-moral-vacuum-overseeing-u-s-national-intelligence/
Mark Levin meets the definition of a foreign agent.
‘Ol Yeller!
Yep – ‘performative’
He’s unwatchable.
I wonder if he is a Democrat?
covertly buying a weapons business
totally plausible in a 100% surveillance and money tracking state
clearly this guy is just a bad apple that slid through the cracks
The mistake people tend to make with respect to the ‘100% surveillance and money tracking state’, is the failure to recognize that within such a total surveillance state there will, *Necessarily*, always be that segment of the populace who are members of ‘the Elect’, ‘the Connected’ – those who are ‘with Intelligence’/’with Surveillance’ – “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” (See Sundance’s recent piece from a week or so ago, re: IC’s ‘Prohibited Access’ silo category)…
…- The question, in the non-pretending view, then becomes: – How is it that a rank-and-file CCP/MSS operative is, evidently, a member of the American ‘Elect’?…
I assume your last line is sarcasm?
Slid through because some people were greasing the skids for him!!!! But really, he’s only a peaceful protester attempting to express his rights.
Perhaps he had “federal” help passing the background check.
They are always on the eff bee eye’s “radar” when caught.
My thoughts exactly. This is worse than those terrorist learning to fly a plane, but not wanting to learn how to land the plane.
Apparently laws are only meant for the law abiding.
Only the law abiding obey they laws.
Intentional madness
What a joke we have become.
So much for the Patriot Act catching this. Great job federales!!
Jackasses.
You forgot the word, “greedy” before jackasses.
The Patriot Act was targeted at Americans.
How? Alex, I will take O’Bribem for $500….
I bet the so-called national security system was covertly behind it all along.
I was at JAX going thru security, belt, shoes, wallet… lady my age behind me is eyeballing me as I pull off my belt, and asks “do we need to strip?” I looked at her, she was not kidding. She had not flown in 50 years. I did what most everyone here would have… slowed down, instill calm, get her thru security and took her to the gate with an offer to sit till I needed to board. Sidebar… JAX has some of the nicest TSA in the nation, PHL not so much
Most are ok but more are just Thousands Standing Around 🤠
Good luck at Hartsfield/Atlanta (ATL). Shades of 1930s Europe.
This is but one example they will use to implement the Patriot Act 2 implementing even greater electronic tracking of people, products, and transactions.
Actually they (DHS) needs to repoint the Patriot Act surveillance operations back to where it belongs. Not internally directed at US citizens but to foreigners as it was intended. Or just get rid of the Pat Act altogether. My favorite option. Peace Treepers.
Incompetence is not a flaw it’s a feature. The corruption is a crime. Regulators need to be held accountable or down the drain we go.
Find the chain of authority that signed off on his apications and have them brought in no bail.
Yes, simplest and most likely explanation is a bribe.
Our problem is our government, not us. They are actively either failing us or working directly against us everywhere and all the time. While the liberals do it openly because they don’t have a braincell, the Republican side of our government at all levels does it through hidden corruption and background agendas.
A good example is John Cornyn. Since he’s coming up for re-election, he is slowly crawling out from under the slime he’s been living in for 6 years and sending texts claiming how much he supports President Trump! Yeah, right…
Sure, and I have some ocean front property I can sell in Arizona to the sleaze bag! When cornyn’s lips are moving. he lies, every time!
Yes, a hundred times yes.
How – in heaven’s name – HOW???
The dog-and-pony show goes on – but the real problems are not addressed.
When you purchase a firearm, you fill out an ATF-4473, which asks all kinds of questions.
Red flags should have been raised at that point, never mind a
Federal Firearms License (FFL).
He should have been flagged as an overstay, and that info should somehow have made it into the relevant databases.
Or – are all these forms, procedures, and processes just for show as well?
Madness indeed!!
The Democrats have made the system to attack law abiding citizens while criminals are given a pass. It is upside down.
Check the fallout from the meat packing raid in omaha, NE yesterday. 100 or so illegals snapped up in south omaha…..fake papers and ID’S, AND passed an E verify Check according to owner. Guess what, I am thinking the entire verification system, for clearances and employment has been severely compromised. Including purchasing weapons…..the USA needs to shut it down now and see how badly it’s screwed up. We are on the precipice of completely collapsing our security verification complex, ESPECIALLY since FBI and Intelligence community firings HAVE NOT been completed yet … bad bad
For one cohort it was unimportant if it wasn’t an impediment to them making money.
Another cohort, irrelevant unless an obstacle to the accumulation of power.
Neither would’ve considered it an issue the same as the rest of us who are not important people in their circles.
What’s been going on? The FBI has spent their time tracking down thousands of J6 “Insurrectionists”, other “right wing domestic terrorists” and combating climate change, that’s what’s been going on.
The previous administration was nothing less than a ship of fools sailing along, using Obama’s maps.
If you look at the way the Left “protects” its cities, it’s exactly the same. Take, take, take and let what’s good rot and allow what’s already rotten to run the show.
Easy peezy lemon squeezy
lots of targeting of the panda on all fronts
many more Chinese spies to remove
BINGO!
So much for the “Patriot Act” working…
/sarc
Scrap it. It is useless for it’s stated intent.
It was never intended for its stated intent.
🎯 🎯 🎯 !!!
The patriot act is/will be for prosecuting patriots.
Whatever school he attended should have its state and federal funds cut off. If he came for “school” and never left the school should be responsible.

This is as not unrelated as it would first seem.
Bill Still on the communist influence in California. Most of us here know most of this. It’s a good reference point to share.
Didn’t realize the link was cut off. If your interested, it’s the Still Report on YouTube and rumble.
He’s no Sundance, but does some good reports that most miss.
This report dealt with the Communist associations of the L A mayor ad the California governor, and $33m of state funds going to organizations to oppose President Trump’s attempt to rectify the invasion, and perhaps to fund this unrest.
I always liked Still’s documentary “The Money Masters.” He has an old school way of approaching issues. They don’t make ‘em like still any more.
No perhaps.
You have to laugh, it is so ridiculous. I am reminded of this movie from the 60’s. “The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming!”
“Emergency… every body to get from street”
First saw that movie when I was just a small boy at the drive-in.
It made a life long impression on me such that 60 years later I still find it relevant
Very funny movie.
.
We have enhanced criminal penalties for various things, e.g. “hate crimes”. Perhaps we could have a law that any felony committed by an illegal alien gets mandatory maximum. Or doubled plus confiscation of all assets. Or imprisonment somewhere outside continental U.S. Or something.
.
.
GITMO
Outside, paid for by their country of origin or taken out of TRADE.
Or, the D penalty!
Seizure of all assets and immediate execution.
UNBELIEVABLE.
Why wasnt this discovered sooner?
Oh right Under Biden they didnt care
He was going to target America too and I am convinced there are more like him
Biden administration just primed the pump for all this by throwing open our borders! It seems consistent with long-range planning within our own government!
Our own goverment and beyond. Think Brussels, for instance.
Clinton administration primed the pump. They removed a lot of the security hurdles for foreigners to get into universities, work at national labs etc … Bush admin didn’t reinstate them.
Clinton Energy Secretary Hazel O’leary openly praised Mao at a couple of symposiums. All articles about her were scrubbed from the CPUSA website.
Or paid off to Hunter and the Biden Family!
“…A member of the Chinese Communist Party, Shenghua Wen, 42, of Ontario California,…
He may be a gun runner; but, he is not a member of the Chinese Communist Party.
Every Chinese national is essentially an asset of the CCP. It’s Chinese law that all nationals around the world must obey directives given to them by officials, or face punishments including their families.
…”Prior to entering the United States, Wen met with officials from North Korea’s government at a North Korean embassy in China. These government officials directed Wen to procure goods on behalf of North Korea.”…
That doesn’t happen unless the CCP is involved.
So, we must stop all negotiations regarding trade with the Chicoms.
Max tariffs, let their economy crash and burn.
The CCP is our enemy on the world stage, time to stop trading with them. You don’t give economic support to your enemy.
In global corporatism, one does what one must do for the almighty profit.
Well, he is a spy and we don’t check on expired visas. Pretty easy for him I guess.I wonder how we managed to catch the agriculture fungus smugglers?
Exactly.
I’ll do you one better, Sundance: – This guy has ‘Ministry of State Security’ written all over him.
Wrong. End
Arrested in December 2024. Interesting timing.
It is urgent that Congress pass “Comprehensive Common-sense Chi-com Control” legislation.
Perhaps David Hogg will jump right on that issue… or perhaps not.
He’ll get 20 years for doing a 100 years worth of damage.
Makes no sense.
zSimple. Indict with an iron-clad indictment, try, comvict, sentence him to max sentence in the general population of a high security federal penitentiary.
Interesting how many hard-time criminals are patriotic, aqnd how their sense of justice is exerciased on those they deem deliberately worse than they are.
A Chisese Communist spy and gun runner would have a difficult time adjusting socially, shall we say, in the yard of such an environment, surrounded by new friends.
Unfortunately “Club Fed” is real.
Unless he ends ups at ADX Florence or some such…
I don’t really relish caring and feeding of these animals for the rest of their lives. What would a libertarian say about the budget?
He has been here for twelve years and no one checked his Visa. Only in America could you do this.
He has been able to fly all over this country without anyone noticing that his papers expired. That should be in every database in the government. They are guests in this country and should be monitored everywhere they go.
But, We the People are the ones that they harass, track, place under a microscope, and get groped.
btw, if you are wondering about the challenges of discovering outbound weapons shipments thru Customs exams, a vessel destined foreign has four days AFTER departure to submit the outbound manifest. 10 days if filed electronically.
This guy knew not to file an SED (Shippers Export Declaration). In fact, I would say he had help and advice.
“Technology” = NVGs/NODs, ATPIALs, LRFs, LDs, Thermals, COMMS, etc.
You can bet your bottom $ that this guy didn’t bother with paperwork.
So how is that Maritime Transportation Security Act working out? But every one has their ID for that.
Highly likely!
And yet again, NOT Russian. Surprise Surprise NOT!!!
Interestingly the Russian FSB was/is also concerted about Chinese espionage targeting Russian military tech.
*concerned
We need to 100% pause all immigration. No students visas. No H visas. No tourist visas. For a year at least, until they get a handle on who is here and are deporting 3-5000 a day.
No doubt there are 1000s of Wen’s in the US.
I do think it is fair to point out that, while Bidan opened the border, the GOP has been completely complicit through the decades of freely allowing illegals to come in and stay.
The worst of this began when Slick Willie granted China most favored nation status.
I thought Nixon did that
They are ALL corrupt traitors – how do we get rid of them?
ONE BY ONE.
A useful soldier.
Compare to the grief, and death, ATF and the Communist legal system sends to U.S. citizens who assert their clear and present rights under the 2nd Amendment.
No quarter. I don’t care how many ChiCom soldiers they parade in front of me. I’m done with their kind.
They deliberately look the other way. The depopulation agenda ends with Godless China ruling the NWO. Read the book “The Committee of 300” by Coleman.
That’s why they drool over war with Russia. No more genocidal European Wars!!!
It’s not the stuff we know about that’s so terrifying…
Yes, we do not know what we do not know.
Confuscius say: Wen there’s a will, there’s a Huawei.
Wordman will approve your message….
Two Wongs don’t make a Wright.
Maybe I’m just ignorant of such things, but they caught him, he plead guilty – why do they have to wait until August 18th the sentence him?! Where will he be, and what will he be doing during the more than 2 months prior to sentencing?
Also, even somehow owning a firearms business, where did he get the military equipment he sent to North Korea? It just goes to show how porous our nation’s immigration safety net has been for years! Time to tighten our restrictions on foreign nationals on student visas, temporary work visas and just plain visitors from hostile nations!
Imagine a network throughout government and industry, including the defense industries. A network of spies, thieves, enforcers, bagmen, you name it. It’s been slowly integrated over generations; I’m currently about four in and it predates me in my opinion.
It’s there. Neutralizing it, peacefully, like in this breaking news one soldier indictment and plea, will take decades; generations. Buckle in.
Summer vacation.
Or deliberate.
Don’t exclude friendly nations either. The CCP will go to US friendly nations and pay their citizens to do their dirty work in the USA.
Interesting timing that Wen’s arrest happened right before biden’s term ended. Could it be that a deal had to be made – quickly – to hide even more devious crimes that could implicate others (in the biden regime) once President Trump took office? One thing for sure; Wen struck a plea deal – as noted in the provided link in the article. I’m guessing there’s a lot of “interesting” charges that were dropped to ensure Wen pleaded Guilty…Hmm.
That is an astute observation. You just raised the comment section average IQ 20 points.
My guess is that the “civilian airplane engine and a thermal imaging system” where going to be cloned (backwards engineered), another CCP IP theft scheme.
10% for Punter
So, Wen:
(1) Overstayed his 2012 Student Visa– nobody at the school contacted the Feds? And the feds don’t check SV expiration-date lists?
(2) Gets approved to open Firearms store– doesn’t that require documentation? Did he buy out an existing store? Was it an online store only? Is just-cash no credit acceptable for that transaction? Who grants approval?
(3) Ships illegal merchandise to unfriendly country- Doesn’t that raise a flag? Who oversees that? How was it transported?
So many points where the necessary documentation & reviewers should have caught this outlier.
Thank you, FBI.
SPIT!!!
I think the answer to questions 2 & 3 is the fox is guarding the hen house. I suspect that in the case of the firearms license, he paid someone who was qualified to be the FFL. That is the way they do it in OKLA to grow MJ. One girl who was mowing my lawn said she was offered $25K to be the front person. I advised her not to, dont know what she did.
Seems as if some illegal or fraudulent documents were involved. Did Wen use a fake or stolen identity to avoid detection as so many other felons seem to be doing? An illegal alien woman who stole 400,000 dollars in welfare funds used a stolen ID. This can be deadly.
A lot of our citizens died during Covid. Those tragic deaths left a lot of vulnerable Id’s. Minding the store is so out of fashion. It’s all a part of the Biden-sponsored invasion.
Yes yes yes.
System?
What system?
Should NEVER have happened.
Just say DHS. Your swing will hit the many agencies who should/could have caught this guy years ago.
The CCP is amoral and it filters down to all their acolytes. No student goes from 2nd world China to 1st world California university to own a gun shop to transshipping to N Korea without CCP awareness and permission. Corrupted Chinese youths feel if someone is naive enough to believe lies, it makes no difference whether you lie or speak the truth. Lies always involve at least 2 people.
Yes! Good point!
In the Chinese cultural system – lying isn’t
Lying… it’s just a way to gain advantage.
So taking advantage of someone’s trust is just the ‘smart, clever’ thing to do – and is not disparaged, but admired.
In some respects, people are Not
‘The same all over’.
Smart intelligence would have let through one last shipment, with a MOAB replacing whatever arms were originally in the container. Once in North Korea…
Maybe this is what Biden intended as zero tolerance? Just lie on the forms, nobody ever checks.
Firearm laws are a farce — it is pure safety theatre. If this guy was arrested in December they had to be looking at him for a while, though. It is just the tip of the iceberg, there are a lot more.
Wake-up American be ALERT.
Execute….
China is not and never will be our ally. They are our greatest enemy. And, yet, we never hear about this threat from MSM. Rather, all the focus is on Russia. Russia was actually our ally during WW2. The West has more in common with Russia than China. Makes you wonder if national security is the priority, then why is all the focus on Russia and not China?
BINGO!!!
ATF is so frikking useless.
Yipee ONE ”student”busted,300,000 current students to go ,who knows how many million previous students.Its easy to set up business when others provide the cash.Ask any NGO,like Stacie Abrams who had $100 bucks in hers and was gifted with 2 billion dollars from Biden admin. The USA sure knows how to manufacture more enemies than it can handle. And the USA government said ”white supremacy ” was the biggest threat.Who can forget General Mark Milley saying he wanted to understand ”white rage”. So many heads have to be removed (figuratively)
The press release mentions he had set up shop in Ontario, California. Reminiscent of the illegal Chinese chemical factory that was discovered by happenstance in 2023 in Reedley, California, about 240 miles from Ontario, California.

The asian population in Orange County is sky high. Especially Vietnamese.
Thanks, forgot that one. It magickly dropped off the radar.
There are thousands more just like him!
Crush china economically. Embargo every single thing chinese. Cancel visas and forcibly remove them from our soil. It is so past time for this it is beyond ridiculous.
Could the scope of this problem be the reason Bongino & Kash have that deer in the headlights look?
Maybe they now fully realize what they are up against.
Apparently he never attended a traditional Catholic Mass in latin.
A Foreign National owns a firearms company and I have to pay $200.00 and wait for the governments permission to protect my hearing?
The Federal Government is upside down in many areas.
So when do we DOGE the 17 “intelligence “ Agencies?? WTF are these people actually doing down there?
Dir. Gabbard , Ma’am, I know you are busy, fire everyone, and hire bonafide Treehousers! I could use a real job, and I am merely a rookie in this Information War. There are plenty more where I came from It’s time to do something different, Ma’am.
Edit: 20 years ain’t sh!t. String him up!! (post Conviction, of course)
The amazing thing is this fellow stuck out like a blinking red beacon but the three letter agencies have US citizens under a microscope.
“Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 18. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.”
First thing that comes to mind is will he get an obama or Biden appointed Federal District Court Judge and get the minimum? That goes for any LA rioters charged with Federal crimes! Twelve years of obama getting activist, leftist, corrupt Federal Judges appointed and approved by a minimum in the Senate with help from Republican DeceptiCon Senators has destroyed our Federal Judiciary. Along with corrupt Democrat court clerks assigning cases! We have a banana republic two tier justice system probably for at least the next 30 years!! JMO
The judge will say,
“He’s suffered enough”
and give him house arrest for 6 months – an electronic ankle bracelet – and 100 hours community service.
That’s showing ‘em!!
(Sarcasm)
Or deferred adjucation. Even cozier.
How is this even possible????? Good grief.
And absolutely None of the “Intelligence” community or federal law enforcement knew anything about his whole life or operations ?
BS
This is why all Chinese Nationals in ALL colleges and research should be physically removed from this country along with everything China has been allowed to purchase be confiscated
So those docs we initial declaring we are not foreigner terrorists when we buy property did not prevent this? Gee, who’d a thunk?
Wuhan Researcher Charged With Smuggling Biological Materials Into US Lab
Jun 10, 2025
https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/wuhan-researcher-charged-smuggling-biological-materials-us-lab
U.S. prosecutors have charged another Chinese national for smuggling biological materials into the United States and lying about the scheme.
Petri dishes and notes found in intercepted packages that Chinese researcher Han Chengxuan allegedly smuggled into the United States. Department of Justice
Han Chengxuan, a PhD candidate from Wuhan in central China, was arrested upon landing at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport on June 8. An FBI agent said authorities had intercepted four packages of biological materials that Han allegedly sent to members of a University of Michigan laboratory.
She was the third Chinese national charged in a week for smuggling materials for biological research. The previous two, accused of smuggling a crop-killing fungus, include a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan’s Molecular Plant-Microbe Interaction. The criminal complaint said Han was a Chinese Communist Party member who has shown loyalty to the Party.
The complaint said Han admitted to shipping an estimated five to 10 packages, but several were lost in transit. [“lost” – W] She said that her professors at both the Chinese and U.S. universities, as well as the recipients, had no knowledge of what she sent, characterizing them as a “surprises,” according to the FBI agent.
The packages contain neither the correct documentation nor the permit required for importing roundworm-related materials, the complaint noted.
The shipments allegedly went to two recipients: one active member of the lab and another among the faculty and staff at the Life Sciences Institute at the University of Michigan.
Han initially lied to the customs agents at the airport about the content of the packages, claiming they were plastic cups and a book, according to a court filing. Pressed, she admitted that the packages contained petri dishes of nematode growth medium for growing roundworms, as well as small circular DNA molecules called plasmids in an envelope, the FBI agent said.
To most people, roundworms sound harmless. Recent news reports attest to how disastrous they are to crops. And almost impossible to stop!
“Wen plead guilty to the charges and now faces “a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison on the count of violating the IEEPA and a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison on the count of acting as an illegal agent of a foreign government. Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 18.”
Let’s go for consecutive terms of 20 and 10 and not concurrant.
The US is thoroughly compromised by the CCP. But the SARS-CoV-2 release that put the Senile Manchurian Puppet in office was an accident.

Sundance’s response above to a post:
“How could he even pass the background check to own the firearms business?
Seriously. How messed up is our national security system….. Yet, we take off our shoes at the airport?
Madness!!”
My first thought is he didn’t do it without “assistance” from someone. Someone in the gubmint had to assist by changing his incoming background info or made sure it didn’t go through (there are many ways it could be done) the process.
He didn’t just decide one day that I’m going to make money selling weapons to NK. I can out smart the ATF, easy peasy.
Civil society exists because people have a “moral” compass that allows them to self-police. That will break down once a large majority just say F’it. Like Sundance said during the “lock-downs”, they can arrest 1 barber for violating a shut-down order, but 1,000+??
Our government is corrupt to the core. Self-righteous Thomas Massie (a long-time Tesla owner, engineer, hmmm?) who just lost his wife has nothing to lose. It’s obvious Ms. Lindsey is owned by the Military Industrial Complex and is beholden to them. And that’s just two!!!
I was talking to my neighbor yesterday. He said when in Nam it was obvious they were there because someone was making money. The US back a bully to oust another bully. He said the “fight for my country” takes on a new outlook when you’re in a foreign country taking bullets, especially when the rules of engagement are against your best interest. He said until we clean up this country we shouldn’t be anywhere else.
When there is obvious corruption working against our own national interest, when illegal aliens get more direct money and rights from the courts and government than citizens, when judicial, legislative and executive agencies work against the duly elected president with disdain, when one set of protesters who didn’t do any destruction (J6ers) are hunted down with all means necessary and lock away while another freely destroy business across the nation with support of the media, politicians, etc how do we turn the corner?
The linked article is very vague on details and has the look of a fluff piece to make it seem the DOJ is actually doing something.
There are enough key words in the article to make a small time guy seem big.
I thought you could shoot spies.
All of these criminal aliens mush be dealt with in the harshest way possible. Deport anyone here illegally, imprison any criminal and deport them after their sentence. End immigration for the next 10 years. Anyone who came here as a spy or infiltrator should be dealt with as spies were traditionally dealt with during War time.
