President Trump’s military demonstrations in Venezuela and Iran were acts of supreme kindness towards Chairman Xi, as they have given him the first **real** information about the Communist Party’s military capabilities. Marxists use language to persuade, not describe, both internally and externally. So the CCP military was never **not** going to develop “a stealth fighter,” or “stealth-detecting radars.” To fail at these tasks would be an unacceptable humiliation. But the question is: did they really? The answer is no. Which is to say: Xi lives in a world where he cannot trust ANY information presented to him by his own system, because it arrives via a filter not only of consensus but also of pride. “The CCP cannot fail, history is on our side!” Except it isn’t. Realty exists. And the total failure of their equipment in VZ and IR was the first time Xi has ever received REAL information about his military’s capabilities. And it’s not good. Xi must now revisit every assumption he has about action in Taiwan. And he is now forced to confront reality, that his staff lie not out of malice but because COMMUNISM DEMANDS YOU IGNORE REALITY.

Interesting days ahead.

STEPHEN COUGHLIN: 18 U.S.C. § 111 makes it a federal crime to forcibly assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, or interfere with designated federal officers or employees while they are performing official duties.


@linuxhippie. Clearly, the Philly DA Larry forgot his ConLaw class on the Federal Pre-emption clause of the Constitution.

He also seems to have forgotten that Title 18 USC Section 111 makes it a felony for him to interfere with a federal officer in the execution of his office. Question? Has the FBI or DHS ALSO forgotten Section 111? Because, from where many stand in the cheap seats, the moment a state or local actor interferes with a federal officer in the conduct of his duties, those persons should be arrested, as should any and all individuals ordering that activity. And yes, it's really as simple, and as simply clear, as that. From the AI distillation of Section 111:

18 U.S.C. § 111 makes it a federal crime to forcibly assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, or interfere with designated federal officers or employees while they are performing official duties. Penalties range from 1 year (simple assault) up to 20 years (use of a deadly weapon or infliction of bodily injury.

ARTURO MCFIELDS YESCAS: During the 10th Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, organized by Colombia, Xi Jinping had hoped to deliver a virtual address to 33 heads of state from the Americas. But the event managed to attract only three Latin American presidents.

Just a few days ago, China suffered yet another major political defeat. During the tenth Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, organized by Colombia, Xi Jinping had hoped to deliver a virtual address to 33 heads of state from the Americas. But the event managed to attract only three Latin American presidents. This was a significant embarrassment, given that this organization is China’s version of the U.S.-created Organization of American States.
