Joe Biden overturns an Executive Order pertaining to Chinese apps.
Mara Gray, like AOC, is an idiot and the New York Times tries to defend her.
And Dr. Seuss is racist. Sidewalks are racist. Air is racist. Water is racist. So, why not?
Could Be a Good Idea
Donald Trump was never a fan of China. He saw the growth of their military, the stealing of our intellectual property, the tyranny with Hong Kong, the unfair trade practices, their influence on big tech and their undercutting the United States when it came to manufacturing. Trump was tough on China by implementing tariffs and putting sanctions on China. This was working. One of the thing Trump wanted to secure from China is the American citizen.
One of the things China was doing was getting personal information of American citizens through apps like Tik Tok. Trump implemented a policy to ban Chinese apps like Tik Tok and We Chat, which have been collecting data on its users. Joc Biden has revoked this policy.
What Biden wants to do is remove the ban on the two apps and do a review on all foreign apps. This actually might be a good thing. If his review works the way he says it’s going to work, it could be good because it will analyze all foreign apps. Here’s the problem I have: we already know TiKToK and Wechat are collecting information on its users. Why get rid of the ban?
Trump’s executive order did have issues. It was essentially unenforceable. A judge had blocked the executive order which is why our kids are still doing stupid videos on TiKTok.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) framed Mr. Biden’s action as a retreat, however, tweeting on Wednesday:
“This is a major mistake—shows alarming complacency regarding #China’s access to Americans’ personal information, as well as #China’s growing corporate influence.”
I agree with this. Here’s what happens with Democrats. When they don’t like something but know it has to be addressed to appease the public (the border crisis is an example), they order the establishment of a committee or a bureaucratic review. These take a really long time, don’t result in anything and usually are forgotten by the public.
I also do not Trust the intentions of the Leftist Biden administration. Biden has always been sympathetic to China and he is not looking like he is going to be flexing his muscles with them now. Again, we already know what China is doing with the two apps Trump banned. Why unban them?
China opposes the action. That’s kind of a good thing. China’s U.S. embassy spokesman, Liu Pengyu, said in a statement:
China “opposes the U.S. abusing its national power under the pretext of national security to suppress and coerce non-American companies.
“We urge the U.S. government to provide an open, fair, just and nondiscriminatory business environment for foreign companies.”
If this does what Biden says its going to do, this is going to be a good move. But do you really trust Joe Biden’s judgement or intent?

She Said What Now?
Mara Gray. God, what a stupid bitch. This is the one who said this:
She’s cute, but really stupid. By the way, if Bloomberg were tp pay $1 million to every American, that would be:
1,000,000 x 350,000,000 = $350 trillion dollar.
Mike Bloomberg is rich. Not that rich. Could anyone at MSNBC actually do multiplication before they had this moron on television trying to make a point?
But she said something else that was pretty stupid. Well, it’s stupid but there is a movement happening right now that we should fight back against and she’s promoting it. But her understanding is just stupid. I will say this now: if she actually believes in this, Gray should just leave the country because she doesn’t get it.
Couple things here:
- Americaness has never been associated with whiteness. That’s a lie and we have an entire history that proves that:
- We fought a civil war to end slavery.
- We paid reparations to injustice done to the Japanese because of internment during World War II.
- We ended Jim Crow and implemented the Civil Rights Act making color irrelevant under the eyes of the law.
- We added two amendments to the Constitution making equality law of the land that cannot be changed.
- “Share democracy with others”? What is she talking about. I don’t know what she thinks but I think we all share the democracy together. If that wasn’t the case, we’d be having Civil wars left and right.
- She is saying all people who fly the American flag scare her because they are racist and she feels she is in danger when around them. Being proud to be an American is the new white supremacy.
- The only people I see destroying the society because they don’t like it is the Left. And don’t keep pointing out January 6th.
- She doesn’t get what the American flag is all about.
I played the entire video because she got a lot of flack about those comments and she started claiming that she was taken out of context. That she didn’t say what she said. Don’t believe your own lying ears.
The New York Times Communications tweeted:
“New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay’s comments on MSNBC have been irresponsibly taken out of context. Her argument was that Trump and many of his supporters have politicized the American flag. The attacks on her today are ill-informed and grounded in bad-faith.”
No New York Times and Mara Gray, Gray said what we thought she said and it will be digitally available for all times.
But here’s what bothers me: She doesn’t doesn’t understand what the flag is about. The flag is not my flag or a white flag. It is an American flag. It is about our country as a whole. It is about our history, our union and the great attributes of the people:
- The 13 stripes represent the original 13 colonies.
- The 50 stars represent the states in the union.
- The color represents our hardiness and bravery.
- The color white represents our innocence and purity.
- The color blue represents vigilance, persistence and justice.
The flag is unifying. It represents all of us as citizens of the greatest country in human history. People have died to protect it and enforce the meaning of the flag. Blacks who were slaves should, and did in the case of Fredrick Douglas and Martin Luther King Jr., saw the flag as their flag also and its representation is why slavery and Jim Crow needed to end because the United States wasn’t living up to the meaning of the flag. Do you know who else thought that? The Founding Fathers. They did not see that slavery could survive for long. They debated it in the Continental Congress in 1776 and the Constitutional Congress in 1789. It is discussed in the Federalist Papers.
A flag that can be seen as divisive would be the Confederate flag. That flag represented the breaking of the country and the continuance of slavery. It represents the continuing tradition of the rich controlling the means of production. I don’t mind when people complain about taking that flag down in front of state buildings. But I also understand that the flags meaning has changed. That it doesn’t represent the Confederacy but represents to spirit and bravery of the South. That flag doesn’t actually have anything to do with slavery anymore but I understand why people don’t want it flown.
Ugh.
The state department gave permission to all the federal agencies to be able to fly the BLM flag because of the anniversary of George Floyd’s death and the gay pride flag because it’s gay pride month…again. Seems like it’s always gay pride month. The flags of the Left are the most divisive flags, more so than the Confederate flag.
- The Black Lives Matter flag represents the destruction of the system and all our values so that Marxism and equity can rule.
- The Gay Pride flag represents only the LGBTQ+ individuals. In fact, a guy in France just created a new flag to add a-sexual people. It doesn’t even represent their own group correctly. And straight people need not apply.
- The Antifa flag, which has been around since before World War II in Nazi Germany fighting against Hitler’s regime, represents a militancy that fights against what they see as fascist systems. Ironically, they use fascism to push this. It is a communist organization.
These flags represent divisiveness. These philosophies represent divisiveness. But the Left wants to replace our unifying flag with one of these flags all the time.
I have an American flag hanging in my place. It’s been there for a few years. It’s special because it was flown over the Capitol Building. I am proud of it. I am proud of this flag. And it is your flag too. Embrace it because it is really the only unifying symbol out there and it represents all the values and the union that is the United States.
Good news: the Department of Defense said they would only fly the American flag.
My God! If the U.S. flag represents racism, how long is it going to be that apple pie represents racism?
Apple Pie is Racist
A couple of weeks ago, Raj Patel who writes for The Guardian wrote and article about how apple pie and hamburgers are racist.
Bet you didn’t see that one coming.
The article is in the Climate Change section of the website (what a shock) and is titled, Food Injustice Has Deep Roots: Let’s Start with America’s Apple Pie. Do I really even need to read the article? This is just another America-Bad thing. It’s a long article. Let me give you the jist of it.
The article starts:
Resting on gingham cloth, a sugar-crusted apple pie cools on the window sill of a midwestern farmhouse. Nothing could be more American. Officially American. The Department of Defense once featured the pie in an online collection of American symbols, alongside Uncle Sam and cowboys.
- He wants to make absolutely sure that people realize that the evil apple pie is American. That’s why it’s evil.
- And the evil, imperialist, genocidal military saw it as a symbol of America.
Not that apples are particularly American. Apples were first domesticated in central Asia, making the journey along the Silk Road to the Mediterranean four thousand years ago. Apples traveled to the western hemisphere with Spanish colonists in the 1500s in what used to be called the Columbian Exchange, but is now better understood as a vast and ongoing genocide of Indigenous people.
- Here’s a remaking of history.
- The Spanish were not allowed to enslave the Indians. In fact, they were encouraged to marry the natives to bring them into the Spanish culture.
- Columbus was jailed for sending slaves from Haiti back to Spain.
- The Indians were not killed through genocide. They mostly died of disease. That’s not genocide.
- In fact, the Indians had their own diseases, such as a strain of syphallis, that killed some of the Spanish.
OK, let’s just get to how apple pie is racist. I wanted to read the first couple of paragraphs so you get where this whole thing is going. I doubt I even need to talk about it because the premise is so stupid.
- English colonizers then used apple trees “as markers of civilization, which is to say property,” he wrote.
- “John Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed, took these markers of colonized property to the frontiers of US expansion where his trees stood as symbols that Indigenous communities had been extirpated,” he wrote.
- He linked sugar to the slave trade,
- gingham cloth to “war capitalism” that “enslaved and committed acts of genocide against millions of Indigenous people in North America, and millions of Africans and their descendants through the transatlantic slave trade.” In the process, cotton laid the basis of finance, police and government that made the United States.
- Guardian readers ought by now to be familiar with the exercise of undoing the commodity fetish. Scratch the surface of a bar of chocolate, a tuna sandwich, or even a chicken nugget, and you find the horrors of international trade: violence, exploitation, poverty and profit. Capitalist logic is everywhere the same, but countries are capitalist in their own ways. The apple pie is as American as stolen land, wealth and labour. We live its consequences today.
Then he just goes off into a tangent.
- He calls chocolate, tuna fish sandwiches, the chicken nugget and hamburgers are racist and promote genocide.
- He goes into food inequity.
- How whites owned most of the farms.
- How the food system is the lowest paying market. He includes flipping burgers getting only minimum wage. He doesn’t mention that restaurant ownership is also the riskiest investment endeavor.
- He talked about how cowboys were an exploited class.
- He talks about how the food industry is part of Jim Crow.
Basically, what this guy has done is said that America’s food is racist without actually proving it is racist and using a lot of woke terminology. This should not be surprised that the woke Left decided to attack apple pie. Dr. Seuss, sidewalks, air, water have all proven to be racist. Why not apple pie.
