All   This is a very serious situation  and there may possibly be retaliation against the U.S. We have known for years that there are Islamic terrorist sleeper cells here in the U.S.  Also, does anyone know where the 40,000 military age Chinese men are that came into our country under the Biden open border policy ?  I heard Trump last year say that he considers these men to be a Chinese  standing army right here in our midst.

We all need to be vigilant and the old saying, If you see something, say something ‘ is excellent advice for all of us.  Nancy

China criticizes Israeli strikes

China on Friday criticized Israel’s airstrike against Iran, which has emerged during recent years as a key strategic partner of the Chinese Communist Party as Chinese government-linked companies invest heavily in the Iranian economy and lead the world in Iranian crude oil purchases.

Beijing “opposes actions that violate Iran’s sovereignty, security and territorial integrity” and is “deeply concerned about the potential grave consequences of the operations,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian told reporters.

His comments underscored the precariousness of the current dynamics in the Middle East, as well as the prospect that the situation could dangerously devolve into global conflict.

There is a consensus in some American national security circles that China and Russia, as well as North Korea, would likely back Tehran against the U.S., Israel and other Western allies should the present hostilities spiral into world war.

The notion of such an alignment hung in the backdrop Friday as world leaders watched for signs of whether Iran may attempt to target both Israel and the U.S. in retaliation for Israel’s airstrikes, which decimated several Iranian nuclear sites and killed the top commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami.

News of his death has triggered global headlines and brought to the fore a level of regional anxiety comparable to that which gripped the Middle East during the days after a U.S. drone strike killed Mr. Salami’s predecessor, Qassem Soleimani, in October of 2020.

Los Angeles is burning. Earlier this year, seasonal fires ripped through the Southern California city, but now, the fires are entirely manmade. In response to the Trump administration’s deportation policy, left-wing activists and opportunistic rioters have taken to the streets to vandalize property, incinerate automobiles, and assault law enforcement officers. The images emerging from the city are shocking: thugs hurling rocks from an overpass onto police; men spinning motorcycles around burning debris; a masked, shirtless rioter waving a Mexican flag atop a burned-out autonomous car.

In short, the Left is giving President Trump all the visual symbolism he needs to advance his immigration agenda. Most Americans see chaos in the name of a foreign flag and find it repellent. Though Trump’s language about a migrant “invasion” has sometimes been dismissed as hyperbolic, it seems that the Left is intent on turning it into a material reality.

The question: How should the president respond? Many on the right may feel an instinctual reaction to “send in the troops.” While this concern for law and order is natural and merited, it must be pursued in a way that maximizes the chance for success and minimizes the chance for blowback. As the president considers his options, he might keep in mind a number of strategic points that, if implemented, will increase his leverage in the fight for large-scale deportations.

The administration must deny the Left a strong visual counterargument. It’s easy to see how scenes of militarization, abuse of demonstrators, or a violent death could reverse public sympathies and present the administration as abusing its authority. The language of politics is visual—and therefore emotional, which means that a single mistake can reverse the flow of opinion and imperil the president’s immigration agenda. Left-wing tacticians have trained their foot soldiers to bait law enforcement into confrontation and to play victim for the press, to great effect.

To prevent this scenario, Trump has a number of strategic options available to him. First, rather than sending in more troops to stop the fires, the president might be better advised to hold off. Right now, California governor Gavin Newsom has sided with the demonstrators, but if the riots spread further, this stance will cost him in public opinion, and eventually, he will have to assume the mantle of authority. The public will expect Newsom to restore order, and he’ll have to incur the risk of using force.
