[The Chinese Communist Party is celebrating 100 years of perfecting the ‘Communist Man’ on mainland China.  Without even a close second, the CCP is the world’s most horrendous leading killer of its own citizens during peacetime.  Experts who do such body counts place the number of Chinese who have fallen under the hand of Mao Zedong alone at somewhere between 100M and 200M, and they are not yet done.  My conversations over the years with a number of native Chinese colleagues place the minimum killed at 120M.  It is important to know that these deaths took place over multi-year spans (e.g. during their Cultural Revolution) under the direction and with the full knowledge of the CCP leadership.  Communism, when a dominant form of governance and especially its Chinese version, is responsible for more purposed human death and misery than any other practiced form of such holocausts.  Stalin with a body count of 30M, Hitler’s 6M, Pol Pot’s 2M, and Vietnam’s 2M are pikers compared to what the CCP has been able to accomplish on their road to hone their draconian version of socialism.  None of this history is available to the devoted consumers of our lamestream media.  The attempt to make an omelet continues to be a grizzly business that, nevertheless, looks more and more attractive to our own socialists in their planned efforts to purge the country of ‘racists’, capitalists, and ‘white supremacists’. gjr]

    George 11:59 –How about historical record, common sense and rational reasoning…vs. anything that comes out of the mouth of Donald trump.. Are you blind? How many lies, misstatements of fact, exaggerations, stupid lawsuits, etc, etc. does it take before you see trump for what he is rather than what you wish him to be? Probably never will that happen as partisanship has permanently clouded your vision.

    Walt (and others): been saving this just for you. Odd, I heard about this last week from a LA source. He’s not an old fart like the one who shall not be mentioned, but probably in his low 30’s. His vocation is pesticides and chemical research for industry publications…with a green bent to his beliefs.
    He said with the chemicals used that were found on the site (applied to the ground) nothing, absolutely nothing, could grow there for the next 30 years. Not scorched earth, but dead earth. Not even microorganisms could grow in that toxic soup for decades to come.

    Hey it makes me think of the po ol fakenewsman i have to say i am surprised that the po ol fakenewsman was not breathlessly telling the world about Trumps so called hitler comments –
    During an appearance on Newsmax TV’s “Greg Kelly Reports” on Thursday, Breitbart editor-in-chief Alex Marlow, author of Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption, ripped claims that former President Donald Trump praised Hitler back in 2018 as the product of “the same fake news machine” that produced “the single fakest item of them all, that Trump called dead Marines ‘suckers’ and ‘losers’ and refused to honor them at their gravesite.”
    Marlow said, “I have to say, of all the hundreds of examples of fake news that I’ve been — that I went through, not just in the book itself, but in the research for the book, this might have been the single fakest item of them all, that Trump called dead Marines ‘suckers’ and ‘losers’ and refused to honor them at their gravesite. The reason why I know this is because not only was there not a single on-record source that confirmed that story. It was all anonymous sources.”

    re: Marijuana growers.
    There’s some things I don’t understand here.
    1. Judging from this:
    https://www.leafly.com/news/industry/marijuana-tax-rates-by-state
    The California tax burden is roughly 38%, no doubt it’s hyper-tempting for all levels of government to dip their hands into what looks like an unlimited money stream, but it’s not really all that much. How can you make a business case for a large illegal grow if that’s the only tithe? Roughly similar to cigarette taxes I would think. No doubt there’s money save using public lands, illegal labor practices, etc., but even so.
    2.
    http://budzu.com/prices/usa/california/sacramento
    https://trustedinformer.com/ounce-of-weed-cost/
    Shows around $250/ounce for a plant that can be grown outdoors. Why? Consider that silver is around $25/ounce.
    While it’s ironic that the law enforcement problem for marijuana in California is going to be enforcement of the gubmint getting it’s $$$$ rather than the nature of the substance, I really don’t get the price. You’d think the tobacco companies would come in and build really big commercial setups.

    ‘New Evidence Indicates Enough Illegal Votes In Georgia To Tip 2020 Results’
    In Georgia, there was both an audit and a statewide recount confirming Biden’s victory, but ignored in the process was evidence that nearly 35,000 Georgians had potentially voted illegally.
    “New evidence indicates that more than 10,300 illegal votes were cast in Georgia in the November 2020 general election — a number that will continue to rise over the next several months, potentially exceeding the 12,670 votes that separated Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
    While this evidence does not change the fact that Joe Biden is our president, all Americans who genuinely care about free and fair elections and the disenfranchisement of voters should demand both transparency and solutions to prevent a repeat in future elections. This evidence also vindicates former President Trump and his legal team for the related public (and private) comments and legal arguments made in challenging the Georgia election results.
    Under the cover of COVID-19, Georgia, like many other states, flooded residents with absentee ballot applications. Also like sister states, Georgia ignored various legislative mandates designed to prevent fraud and to ensure the integrity of the vote. These facts, coupled with the closeness of the presidential contest in Georgia and other states, led to a flurry of accusations and litigation charging vote fraud, illegal voting, and violations of the Elector’s Clause of the constitution.

    Boy is the CCC in full effect with the pony tail of ignorance and co. about their hero Avanti –
    However, no media organization gave Avenatti a bigger platform than CNN, which invited him for interviews a whopping 122 times, according to the Media Research Center. The network’s in-house media critic Brian Stelter declared Avenatti was a legitimate threat to challenge then-President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
    “Looking ahead to 2020, one of the reasons why I’m taking you seriously as a contender is because of your presence on cable news,” Stelter told Avenatti on-air.
    A 2019 Washington Free Beacon video showed numerous examples of mainstream and liberal media members drooling over Avenatti, calling him a “beast,” the “savior of the republic,” and “Donald Trump’s worst nightmare.”

    Avenatti was an obvious scumbag hustler already last year. One can wonder at the ignorance and naivete of lamestream ‘journalists’ that they actually made him a fawned over celebrity. And today they’re also too dumb to apologize for how they bamboozled their true-believer audiences.
    For those same true-believers on these comment streams, it might interest them to know that there is a lot, a whole lot less adulation and admiration for Trump than what meets their blindered eyes. There are no unquestioning Trump followers here, nor have there ever been. It’s all been about what the man did and could deliver.

    The Federalist says new evidence indicates that more than 10,300 illegal votes were cast in the November election. And there will be more.
    People voted out of the county where they live which is against Georgia law unless they changed their residence within 30 days of the election.
    “Soon after the November general election, Mark Davis, the president of Data Productions Inc. and an expert in voter data analytics and residency issues, obtained data from the National Change of Address (NCOA) database that identified Georgia residents who had confirmed moves with the U.S. Postal Service. After excluding moves with effective dates within 30 days of the general election, and by using data available from the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office, Davis identified nearly 35,000 Georgia voters who indicated they had moved from one Georgia county to another, but then voted in the 2020 general election in the county from which they had moved.”
