Diplomatic Fiction
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is visiting Taiwan, considered by many to be a highly provocative act. Mostly because it openly highlights the diplomatic fiction that has existed in one form or another for 73 years (and counting). The fiction is that there is "only one China." Now, there was indeed one China in the past -- and there may also be one China in the future. But for almost three-quarters of a century, there have been two Chinese governments, both of them claiming exactly the same thing: that they are the real and legitimate government of all of China. But this is not true (no matter which one of them sits at the United Nations) -- it is fictional. The Chinese Communist Party (C.C.P.), which governs the mainland it calls the Peoples' Republic of China (P.R.C.), also claims the island and territories of Taiwan as its own. The Republic Of China (R.O.C.), which governs Taiwan, also claims all of mainland China as its own. Neither is right -- their saying so is fiction, pure and simple.
Taiwan, or the R.O.C., has largely backed off its previous claims to all of mainland China, it should be noted. This is reality: the island has only 23 million people, while mainland China has 1.4 billion. To state the painfully obvious, there is no way on Earth the R.O.C. is going to regain control over those 1.4 million people.
The P.R.C., on the other hand, insists on the rest of the world agreeing (or at least giving diplomatic lip service) to their "One China" policy. Taiwan, to them, is a "renegade province" that will eventually be reunified with the mainland and brought back under their control. The R.O.C. is nothing more than an illegitimate government that will have to eventually disappear, in other words.
The history of this diplomatic fiction is chock-full of countries having to believe and speak of things which just aren't reality. After World War II, China became one of the founding members of the United Nations. Being among the Allies (fighting the Japanese), China was just as much our friend on the postwar world stage as the Soviet Union was (at the time). But the Chinese government which fought the war with us and signed the U.N. charter only held control of the entire country for four more years. In 1949, the Chinese Civil War pushed General Chiang Kai-Sheck onto Taiwan, while the communists defeated the R.O.C. forces (the Kuomintang) on the mainland. That was when this diplomatic stalemate began.
All throughout the Cold War of the 1950s and 60s, the R.O.C. still sat in the United Nations, purporting to represent all of China while only holding and controlling one major island. The P.R.C. was shunned by the United States and frozen out of the world's diplomatic stage. Both Taiwan and communist China have always held the hard line that any country which diplomatically recognizes the other China will have their diplomatic ties cut off. This is about the only thing the R.O.C. and the P.R.C. agreed upon -- no country could recognize that both Chinas actually existed. This holds true to this day, and it is what forces the rest of the world to maintain this diplomatic fiction.
In 1971 the world switched sides, so to speak. After three decades, the fiction was painfully obvious -- that the vast majority of the Chinese people were unrepresented in world affairs. For a number of reasons (including "ping-pong diplomacy" between the United States and the P.R.C., which was literally composed of table-tennis matches), the U.S. felt it was time to recognize the P.R.C. What America proposed was that the whole world admit the reality of the situation and seat both Chinese governments in the United Nations. This was shot down, and instead the world abruptly switched from one to the other. The R.O.C. was suddenly out in the cold, and the P.R.C. suddenly had a seat on the U.N.'s Security Council. The fictional coin flipped, and now the whole world had to pretend that there was one China again -- after switching teams.
Since that time, America has not diplomatically recognized the R.O.C. and instead has an embassy in Beijing. There are, of course, high-level government contacts between us and the R.O.C., but we're all supposed to pretend that they are somehow an illegitimate government.
Taiwan didn't have real democracy until the 1980s and 90s -- it had basically been a military dictatorship up until that point. But democracy did indeed finally emerge, and now the Taiwanese political parties are split on whether they should move towards reunification with the mainland or go it alone by declaring their independence. They know that they're living under a fictional cloud, as far as the rest of the world is forced to see it.
America didn't want to just abandon Taiwan when the world switched teams, though. So we signed agreements with them through the years that left things intentionally vague (in a diplomatic sort of way), but which also essentially hinted that America would back up Taiwan if war ever broke out again with the mainland (or "resumed," perhaps, since the whole split started with the Chinese Civil War). We sell plenty of high-tech military equipment to Taiwan's armed forces, but we also have never explicitly stated that we would send U.S. troops to defend the island if mainland China attacked (although President Joe Biden did cross this line in answer to a question, the White House immediately walked it back to the comfortable "strategic ambiguity").
Instead, we give lip service to the C.C.P.'s "One China" policy in diplomatic circles, while continuing our ties to Taiwan. Plenty of U.S. politicians have visited Taiwan over the decades, including Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, back in the 1990s. Donald Trump, after he won the 2016 election (but before taking office), accepted a phone call from Taiwan's president -- the first time this had happened (with either a sitting president or a president-elect) since 1979. And now Nancy Pelosi is visiting the island.
Relations between China and America have deteriorated for a while now, as both major American political parties have found it is pretty easy to make political hay over being "tough on China." Republicans especially (but by no means exclusively) have revitalized the Cold War language by always insisting on using the full phrase "the Chinese Communist Party" as often as they can (again, please note that plenty of Democrats are now doing so as well). In reality, both China and Taiwan have taken American jobs away in the waves of outsourcing that have ebbed and flowed over the past two or three decades. Taiwan is the world's leading producer of computer chips, for instance. It really does behoove us to have a good trading relationship with both political entities, since our supply chains rely to a large degree on things they both make for American consumers.
Nancy Pelosi's visit to the island of Taiwan is provocative to a certain degree, but not to an unprecedented one. China's basic position hasn't changed, either on the mainland or on Taiwan. Everybody knows what the reality on the ground actually is. All of the breast-beating and garment-rending you might hear from the pundits during and after her visit are really all just part of the diplomatic fiction the world has lived with for 73 years. It's worth it to keep this in mind, during all the dire predictions of impending doom. Because nothing has really changed at all. Not in the reality of the situation, in any case

Michigan GOP cancels election night watch party after staffer allegedly threatened
The Michigan Republican Party filed a police report after the incident
The Michigan GOP has canceled an election night watch party after a staffer was allegedly threatened outside the party’s Lansing headquarters.
Lansing police said officers went to the building Tuesday morning in response to a complaint about a threat, but that the person who allegedly made the threat was not still there. Officers will pay special attention to that area, said police spokeswoman Jordan Gulkis.
The staffer, who wished to remain anonymous, told Fox News that a man approached her in the parking lot and harassed her, threatening to burn down the building and enslave the women inside.
GOP spokesperson Gus Portela told Fox News the party had experienced death threats for years but nothing like what happened on Tuesday.
"Our building received several threats from a bystander who not only verbally assaulted a long-time female staffer but also indicated he was planning on shooting up the building and burning it down," Portela said.
He accused Democratic Party affiliates of seizing on this incident and joking about the situation but noted "this is the type of politics they plan nowadays."

‘Misery index’ shows Democrats face midterm rout as voters rage at Biden
Voter rage at President Biden over the state of the economy is likely to result in another epic “shellacking” for Democrats in November’s midterm elections — which could cost them 40-plus seats in Congress and control of both chambers, according to a new study.
The “misery index” of inflation and unemployment reached 12.7% in June and is projected by Bloomberg Economics to be at 12% in October.
That reading would rival the level that followed the Great Recession of 2008, according to Bloomberg, which said the index functions as a key predictor of electoral outcomes.
In the 2010 midterms, Democrats lost 63 seats in the House and six in the Senate.
The voter backlash led then-President Barack Obama to admit the “humbling” results amounted to a “shellacking,” later adding: “It feels bad.”

Inside Liz Cheney’s Coordinated Effort To Prevent Troop Deployment Before Jan. 6
Before Liz Cheney claimed President Donald Trump took no action on the National Guard, she coordinated a campaign to prevent deployment.
Days before the Capitol riot provoked a years-long effort to impeach, prosecute, and politically malign former President Donald Trump, Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney coordinated efforts to deter the very actions she now claims haunt the former president.
Cheney has blamed Trump for not ordering the National Guard to defend the Capitol complex, even though multiple sources confirm that he authorized their deployment days prior to the Jan. 6 rally at the White House and riot at the Capitol. Security officials in charge of the Capitol declined to call up troops to protect it, government records show.

In a little less than 2 weeks, Wyoming voters are going to resoundingly and unequivocally FIRE Liz Cheney's worthless America-hating ass anyways..
So, give her all the rope she needs to hang herself, eh? :D
But I do have to thank Liz for one action she has taken..
Liz proved to everyone in the world that blatant and unmistakable hypocrisy is the number one quality of a Democrat by dragging Democrats to her father, Dick DARTH VADER Cheney, and having Democrats fawn all over Darth and bend the knee and kiss the ring...

The corporate world is waking up to the fact that Democrat governance is simply incompetent..
Wave of corporate exits sends chill through Chicago’s business elite
Departures of Boeing, Caterpillar and Citadel headquarters come as leaders fret over crime
Boeing announced in May that it would trade its headquarters in a tower in Chicago’s West Loop neighbourhood for its campus outside of Washington, DC. In June, Caterpillar, known for its bright yellow earthmoving equipment, decided to shift its base from a Chicago suburb to a city near Dallas.
A third blow landed the following week, when billionaire Ken Griffin announced that his hedge fund Citadel would relocate its primary office from a Loop skyscraper to Miami.
The string of high-profile exits has bruised Chicago’s reputation as a big-shouldered capital of commerce.
“Chicago has a tight business community, so it’s certainly disappointing that they all left,” Roger Hochschild, chief executive of suburban Chicago-based Discover Financial Services, told the Financial Times.
While Boeing and Caterpillar were viewed more as symbolic losses, Citadel’s departure is a gut punch in the city to which Griffin had provided steady, non-partisan material support.

The new executive director of a liberal dark money education group intent on combating conservative-led school reforms ahead of the midterms has repeatedly called for defunding the police.
Heather Harding celebrated her new role as executive director at Campaign for Our Shared Future on Monday, tweeting, "It’s an incredible opportunity to be leading this organization that’s been on the frontlines of the fight for equity and inclusion in public education."
Campaign for Our Shared Future, which bills itself as a grassroots and non-partisan effort, is part of one of the most prominent left-wing dark money networks in the United States. Its launch follows conservative parents bombarding school board meetings in numerous states over what they say is their local schools teaching critical race theory and gender ideology to children.

Armageddon Looms for the Democrat Party
That deafening sound Americans are hearing all around them is the Good Ship Democratic Party crashing against the jagged rocks of political reality.
With the November 2022 midterm elections just weeks away, early projections point to a Republican Party electoral tsunami that could bury the Democrat party for the next several voting cycles.
Polls by Rasmussen, Emerson, and Trafalgar show the Republicans up by as much as 10% over Democrats in the generic ballot. The Real Clear Politics "poll of polls" has Republicans projected to win a minimum of 223 House seats, the Democrats 179, giving the GOP de facto control of the House of Representatives.
RCP has identified another 33 congressional contests as toss-ups, races considered too close to call. Of those 33 seats 29 were considered solidly Democrat until this election cycle. Now Democrats must spend precious resources to defend seats they thought they owned. Republicans could end up with a 240-plus-seat majority.

Democrats are toast in just 96 days!! :D A little over 3 months away... :D
Even Democrat Water Carrier oft quoted by Weigantia®, WaPoop, is begging Biden's Handlers to quit... :D
Quit, Joe, Quit! Biden could save the midterms with a one-term pledge.
President Biden should announce now that he will not run for reelection in 2024. He should not ask the Democratic Party, or the nation, to assume the risk of a second four-year term that would begin after he reached the age of 82.
The conventional calculus argues that a president would be a fool to reveal such a plan before he has to, because it would instantly undercut his ability to get anything of real significance accomplished. But in Biden’s case the argument is exactly wrong. Here’s why the decision not to run should come promptly.

Excellent point. :)
Days before the Capitol riot provoked a years-long effort to impeach, prosecute, and politically malign former President Donald Trump, Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney coordinated efforts to deter the very actions she now claims haunt the former president.
Let me guess: The actual proof against her is sitting in a file next to the evidence proving that Trump won the election, right?
Here's a question no one seems to be asking:
How did Trump know that the Capitol would need protecting on January 6?
The only event that Trump's permits mentioned for January 6 was his rally at the mall. There was no mention of a march on the capitol. His Secret Service detail had no idea that was even a possibility. We know this simply by the fact that they had no contingency plan for such an event.
Typically we only call out the National Guard when the police are unable to control the crowds. When they are used to help prevent an event from going out of control, like the article points out, they are typically NEVER armed no do they have police powers to arrest anyone. So how did Trump know that the Capitol would be where they were needed days before the attack if he was not in on the planning?
Even if Trump actually offered these troops days before the event, the ONLY event everyone was planning for was the RALLY! NO ONE else knew about the march to the Capitol. That's why they had the metal detectors and enough security to prevent rioting at the rally. That's why you see bike cops trying to keep the insurrectionists at bay instead of officers in riot gear -- Trump hadn't told those planning the security for that day about his planned attempt to stop the count.
Trump had already shown his authoritarian desires when he had armed federal personnel protecting federal buildings and properties without any clothing identifying that they were law enforcement during the BLM protests.
And of course, you simply refuse to acknowledge that Trump was the only person who could have called out the National Guard from nearby states. The governors there could not send in their troops to assist DC unless requested by Trump. Trump was in charge. He did nothing!
Anyone who still supports Trump after his failed insurrection attempt is a traitor who hates our nation, our military, our police, their own family, and hates both the Star Trek and Star Wars franchises.
Don't worry, Russ.. Vick is around so she'll come to your rescue..
Oh, I don't need Kick to come to my rescue... but I do love it when she does because it really seems to make you squirm!
I am more than capable of showing the world that you are an honor stealing hater of the police who has made threats against law enforcement.
Threats against police and claims to always be armed... that would be something most folks would not want an officer to read when their name is run during a traffic stop. You really do talk too much.
Blaaa blaaa Blaaa...
But we see Russ' and Vick's true form here..
They know that their personal attacks on me are useless and laughed off..
So they attack my family, my late mother...
This is exactly how they operate.. And why they are so sad and pathetic and should be pitied..
And, as usual... They have ZERO facts to back up ANY of their claims.. :D
Ya'all just don't get it.. I am in complete control here... Ya'all have absolutely ZERO power here.. :D
All you have is sad and pathetic personal attacks against my family....
Typical...
No wonder Weigantia® has become a cesspool shithole since they showed up....

Schumer-Manchin Inflation Reduction Act will hurt Democrats in November
American people are ready to say 'no more' Democrats at the ballot box this November
With the midterm election now less than 100 days away and our economy in a recession, Democrats are getting desperate.
For the past eighteen months, President Joe Biden and his leftist majority in Congress have controlled all the levers of power in Washington and enacted policies that have created a brutal inflation crisis in our country. Now, with the prospects of a Republican red wave in November becoming more likely with each passing day, instead of doing something that would actually help our economy, Joe "The Great Inflator" Biden and the incompetent Democrats calling the shots on Capitol Hill are doubling down on what got us into this mess in the first place.
Not only are congressional Democrats proposing hundreds of billions in new spending and more devastating tax increases as their catch-all "solution" to the problem, how they are branding the legislation is a ridiculous bold faced lie. These unchecked Democrats are truly on a roll when it comes to misleading the American people. The Schumer-Manchin "Inflation Reduction Act of 2022" is just the latest example.
Rational people with common sense understand that this proposal from the left is chalked full of tax and spend gimmicks that have no chance of reducing inflation anytime soon. In fact, it will likely prolong the festering crisis, which has inflation at a 40-year-high.

They left her out on a key deal. Now Kyrsten Sinema's silence has Democrats in a panic
On Thursday Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., announced they had struck a $433 billion deal to attack climate change and soaring inflation.
Then the boys took a victory lap to the wild cheers of major media.
In newspaper interviews and Sunday shows they reveled in the impending triumph they were about to deliver for their standard bearer, President Joe Biden.
Schumer said he wanted a vote as early as this week.
Missing from victory lane and the grandstand, nor to be found anywhere, was the one person who could actually justify all this popping champagne.
No one thought to talk to Kyrsten Sinema

The Washington fantasy world
But here's the thing — and you knew this was coming. The Inflation Reduction Act is not about reducing inflation. It will not reduce inflation in any significant way. As a matter of fact, the best-informed debate at the moment seems to be about whether it will have zero effect on inflation or actually make inflation worse.
A new assessment from the University of Pennsylvania's Penn Wharton Budget Model found that the Inflation Reduction Act "would very slightly increase inflation until 2024 and decrease inflation thereafter. These point estimates are statistically indistinguishable from zero, thereby indicating low confidence that the legislation will have any impact on inflation." If you want the real numbers, Penn Wharton estimated the bill would increase inflation by 0.05% up until 2024 and then reduce inflation by 0.25% "by the late 2020s." Again, the estimates are "not statistically different than zero."

Let me guess: The actual proof against her is sitting in a file next to the evidence proving that Trump won the election, right?
Exactly, and that very large evidence pile has been hiding inside Donald Trump the entire time. Therefore, any "evidence" of fraud will come straight out of Trump's fat ass.
Here's a question no one seems to be asking:
How did Trump know that the Capitol would need protecting on January 6?
I know, right!? It was premeditated. All those Trump insurrectionist cop haters showed up armed and ready to injure and kill. Trump was notified they were armed and nevertheless still sent them to the Capitol.
The only event that Trump's permits mentioned for January 6 was his rally at the mall. There was no mention of a march on the capitol.
The march on the Capitol was definitely premeditated as proven by multiple texts. Rally organizers and insurrectionists were obviously preparing for it and there is evidence of their prior knowledge:

It was deliberate and definitely decided in advance by Trump and the rally planners and insurrectionists. The tweets and text messages don't lie.
So how did Trump know that the Capitol would be where they were needed days before the attack if he was not in on the planning?
Trump was definitely in on the planning. When he couldn't get the Army to act on his behalf, he used Americans to do it for him. He aided and abetted their actions and is directly responsible for the deaths and damages caused. That's why he's being sued in multiple courts for multiple millions by multiple law enforcement officers and the reason several judges have refused to dismiss the litigation. You cannot claim you aren't aiding and abetting perpetrators of crime who assaulted cops when you're even now promising to pardon them.
As for the pervasive right-wing bullshit fabrication about Trump ordering the National Guard. Well, for one thing: Trump is a lying con artist. For another thing: While Trump's Acting SecDef definitely went on camera and told lies to the regurgitating rubes, it was quite different testimony under penalty of perjury wherein Christopher Miller under oath said something entirely to the contrary: "Not from my perspective, I was never given any direction or order or knew of any plans of that nature."

Google it: Christopher Miller never given any direction
Anyone who still supports Trump after his failed insurrection attempt is a traitor who hates our nation, our military, our police, their own family, and hates both the Star Trek and Star Wars franchises.
They seem to know it too. Witness an email from Kenneth Chesebro, a member of the Trump campaign election legal team wherein they discuss "legitimate" electors in contrast with Trump's fake electors and tells them they've got a valid point when they brought up the fact it would seem treasonous:

Google it: Republicans Tapped As Fake Trump Electors Feared Scheme Could Be "Treasonous"
Tough break for treasonous criminals when you can prove their intent and how they viewed their own actions.
So, after they prosecute the criminals who beat up the cops aided and abetted by Trump, they'll likely begin indicting the "treasonous" (their term) Trump fake electors for their premeditated crimes.
A whole bunch of right-wing perps asked the outgoing Trump administration for pardons, proving consciousness of guilt. Why else would one request a pardon?
OK, well I guess I scared Russ and Vick away... Running scared they are.. :D
So I am gonna go catch a couple eps of HALO...
I'll check back in a bit.. :D

I am more than capable of showing the world that you are an honor stealing hater of the police who has made threats against law enforcement.
I honestly don't believe the fake cop realizes just how much information is available for free on criminals and defendants like himself. Last name... comma... first initial... then check the box that you are not a robot:

Weigantia's own Jussie Smollett threatens to file a fake police report on a real cop... but not before posting his own personal information all over this blog.
Threats against police and claims to always be armed... that would be something most folks would not want an officer to read when their name is run during a traffic stop. You really do talk too much.
Have you ever in your life met an actual police officer that was such an imbecile that his mouth was in competition with his ass to determine which one was the fattest? <--- Rhetorical question

They know that their personal attacks on me are useless and laughed off..
Our "useless" comments are getting responses from your clueless ass; only a imbecilic rube who was incapable of connecting the dots would refer to that as "useless." Also, is there anyone else here who is halfwitted enough to spew the nonsensical drivel that they can read others' minds? It appears you are in a (hysterical lunatic) class all by yourself.
So they attack my family, my late mother...
Said the fake cop who actually attacked Russ's husband and threatened to break the law and file a fake police report against him. You're a cop hating criminal. As for having your family attacked, you're not just a fool but far-and-away beyond retarded if you honestly believe anyone is actually attacking your family. Duh.
This is exactly how they operate.. And why they are so sad and pathetic and should be pitied..
Admitted manwhore says what? Heh.
I'm laughing my ass off at your obvious ignorance. Far from being sad, I'm ecstatic because *whispers* I'll let you in on a little secret (not secret): You attempting to use my very own statements about you back to me actually only serves the purpose of letting me know what got to you. You will always have my pity, but it (obviously) doesn't work on me to have my own verbiage pushed back in my general direction because: It's my line.
No wonder Weigantia® has become a cesspool shithole since they showed up....
"Yer" shithole and "yer" trailer ain't Weigantia. :)
i think that was don, actually.
