Key congressman seeks probe into why 80 percent of U.S. foreign investor visas going to China
House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Penn.) have asked the an investigative arm of Congress to investigate China’s involvement in America’s EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa Program.
In a letter Monday to the Comptroller General of the U.S. Government Accountability Office, the lawmakers said the program was meant to encourage foreign capital investment and job creation in America but it appears it is being exploited by the Chinese Communist Party.
“Although the EB-5 program’s goal of stimulating capital investment and job creation in the United States is laudable, it has become clear in recent years that the CCP may be abusing the program to gain access to U.S. permanent residency for their members,” the letter says. “Between 2012 and 2018, 80 percent of the nearly 10,000 EB-5 visas available each year went to Chinese-born investors.”
Trump and Religious Freedom
PRESIDENT TRUMP SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDER ON ADVANCING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to further protect religious freedom around the world. On behalf of the over two million members and supporters of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, we commend President Trump for making it absolutely clear that protecting religious freedom is a domestic and foreign policy priority.
The executive order outlines that the U.S. will budget at least $50 million per year for programs that advance international religious freedom. The White House will expand available economic tools to support our allies on religious freedom and address bad actors, whether by increasing religious freedom programming, realigning foreign assistance to better reflect country circumstances, restricting the issuance of visas, or deploying Global Magnitsky sanctions where appropriate. This order will also mandate more federal employees who work abroad to undergo training on international religious freedom.
“We are grateful to have a leader such as President Trump, who has made it so clear that he supports religious freedom and wants everyone to worship God freely,” said Timothy Head, executive director of the Faith & Freedom Coalition. “Our brothers and sisters are facing severe persecution around the world for their faith. Through this Executive Order, Trump is showing that he cares for the persecuted and is reaching out to protect and help them.”
In September 2019, President Donald J. Trump made history as the first American President to convene a meeting of global leaders at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to address International Religious Freedom. The President was clear when he called upon “the nations of the world to end religious persecution.” This Executive Order fully integrates the President’s vision – a vigorous defense of International Religious Freedom rights for all – into key aspects of United States foreign policy. Yet again, President Trump is taking a decisive action to keep his promise to people of faith around the world.

China is not our friend. This is a communist country with domination on the minds of the leaders. Love the people of China, it is too bad they have to live in fear of their lives.

Random Thoughts Part 1
Trying to post video from last month. Be patient still learning this siste.
Covid 19 Models
To anyone with any kind of common sense knows that the model used to shut the world down was not only flawed, but possible corrupt in the implication. The Imperial College researchers ran a model that projected more than 500,00 deaths in Great Britain, and 2 million deaths in the U.S. as a result of Covid-19. I distinctly remember hearing our President at a news conference state, that in the next two weeks the US would suffer over 200,000 deaths. That briefing occurred about a month ago. It never came close to that morbid number as I and many others knew. Just as with Global Warming models that are always shewed to cause fear and alarm. Will justice come to those who caused the shutdown over flawed models? Not sure that could be done, but at the very least questions should be asked and answered. I am not holding my breath. Un elected bureaucrats seem to lead a charmed life where none are held accountable. Misery is not their problem, Being the smartest egg head in the room is.
China Demands Control over World Media
China is again being what China is. Overbearing dictatorship. America needs to get as far away from China as possible. Now!! Lapdogs of the American media lick up all that China propaganda spews out.
