First time in history
Pentagon says China has ‘largest navy in the world’ after buildup
The Democrats accompanied by the MSM are so totally consumed with their obsession of ripping Trump constantly, right under our noses, the Chinese navy has now become the largest in the world.
----------------------------------
The Defense Department says in a new report to Congress that China now has the world’s largest navy, at least in number of battle-ready ships.
“[China] has the largest navy in the world, with an overall battle force of approximately 350 ships and submarines including over 130 major surface combatants,” the report says. “In comparison, the U.S. Navy’s battle force is approximately 293 ships as of early 2020.”
The comparison isn’t necessarily qualitative. For example, the US Navy has 11 massive nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and bases across the world. China has just two non-nuclear aircraft carriers, and lacks a significant overseas presence.
The report, drafted by Defense Secretary Mark Esper’s office, notes that the Chinese military “remains engaged in a robust shipbuilding and modernization program that includes submarines, surface combatants, amphibious warfare ships, aircraft carriers, and auxiliary ships as well as developing and fielding advanced weapons, sensors, and command and control capabilities.”
“China is the top ship-producing nation in the world by tonnage and is increasing its shipbuilding capacity and capability for all naval classes,” the report says.
China hasn’t been involved in a major war since the Korean War of the 1950s, when it helped turn the tide against US troops on behalf of Communist North Korea.
The report comes as US-China relations plunge over Chinese concealment of early COVID-19 data and over the central government’s elimination of political autonomy in Hong Kong and human rights abuses against the Uighur minority.
On Wednesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo imposed new rules on Chinese diplomats in the US, requiring that they seek official permission before visiting US colleges or speaking with local officials.

General George Patton was right
Yes, general you were so right.
This is what Harris had to say June 1, 2020 about bailing out the rioters and looters so they could continue their quest destroying the country. No doubt it would extend to anarchists in other states.
If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota. https://t.co/t8LXowKIbw— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) June 1, 2020
This is what she tweeted August 30th when she and Joe realized their poll numbers were heading south.
(Never uttered a word about it at the DNC)
I join @JoeBiden in condemning this violence. This can not—and must not—be who we are. Americans deserve a president who will heal our country and bring people together—not fan the flames of hate and division. https://t.co/21h00uFFR7— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) August 30, 2020

Don't believe her when she says she "condemns the violence"—look at her record, not her words. https://t.co/lL2aYjxPZA
Harris is running a con job like she's been doing her entire life.
The debate look... when she hammered Sleepy Joe on the issue of federal mandated busing to racially integrate schools. The “That little girl was me” moment.
The look she gives him now.
Proving she still got it...
100 days and still going strong
Portland ‘riot’ declared after Molotov cocktails tossed
How long will the governor allow this to continue?
At least three Molotov cocktails were tossed in the direction of Portland, Ore., police late Saturday, prompting yet another night of unrest in the city to be declared a riot, according to reports.
Video posted on social media showed people scattering after a fiery object hurtled through the air and crashed on the ground, resulting in a huge fireball and smoke.
In another video, a rioter is seen scrambling for help after his feet catch fire while trying to escape flames.
Late Saturday local time, police posted on Twitter that the crowd near Ventura Park – about 10 miles east of downtown -- was “engaging in tumultuous and violent conduct thereby intentionally or recklessly creating a grave risk of causing public alarm.
“This is a riot,” the message declared.
The crowd had gathered at the park around 7 p.m. PT, reportedly with plans to march to the police department’s east precinct, Portland’s KATU-TV reported.

About two hours later, authorities declared the march unlawful, according to the station.
During the evening, Portland police and Oregon state troopers worked to block marches and disperse crowds. Their efforts included the first use of tear gas in September, OregonLive.com reported.
The city has now seen more than 100 nights of rioting since the May 25 death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis.

Trump vs. Biden? Liberal journalists aren't umpires, they're batting clean-up for Team Joe
Watch this video. This is disgusting. The liberal 'journalists' might as well have said, "We hate Trump Joe...tell us how much you hate him."
Could you imagine Trump getting questions like this

In a press conference filled with journalists saying, “thank you” to their candidate, they still found time to throw it to him easy
Joe Biden slams President Trump over report that he mocked US war dead
Are today’s liberal journalists blatantly aiding the Biden campaign? Of course, they are. The press are playing this game like it’s already October -- and that’s World Series time. So they delivered an October surprise for his team.
Friday’s press conference with Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden was a perfect example of how much on the team they actually are. It wasn’t a straightforward Q&A. It was staged so it began with an Atlantic reporter asking Biden about The Atlantic’s bogus scoop.
Team Biden batted leadoff with The Atlantic’s Edward-Isaac Dovere to push his outlet’s anonymous attack on Trump. ”But when you hear these remarks — suckers, losers, recoiling from amputees — what does it tell you about the president's soul and the life he leads?" he asked.
Can you ever remember an easier question asked of a presidential candidate? What are they going to ask him next? If likes to drink coffee?
(I remember when a female reporter asked Barry what he had for lunch)
That wasn’t all. In a press conference filled with journalists saying, “thank you” to their candidate, they still found time to throw it to him easy, to encourage him to be the president they want him to be.
Biden was asked, “Aren’t there a lot of people out there who are supporting you or inclined to not vote for the president, who would say, ‘Why isn’t Joe Biden, angrier about all of this?’”
Because that’s what people are saying? Not, is he really ready to run?
That’s the kind of easy pitching you get in batting practice, not in the pros.
It was similar to what you saw in two recent press conferences that also brought to mind baseball more than politics.
Both President Donald Trump and Biden were gearing up this week for their trips to riot-torn Kenosha, Wisconsin. Only Trump was the target of fastball after fastball. Every journalist pitch was designed to make him strike out — or to flat out bean him.
Reporters raised questions about whether Trump’s arrival “could exacerbate tensions and increase violence.” Then they pressed him to see why he wouldn’t meet with “the family of Jacob Blake,” the man shot seven times following a fight with police.
It only got worse from there. The press did just that, press Trump all over the field. The six minutes of questions were reminiscent of baseball’s beanball wars. Several reporters aimed their pitches right (er, left) at the president.
CNN was the worst, naturally. Their White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins threw hers straight out of left field. She was trying to tie Trump to the violence of Portland, where leftists have rioted for nearly 100 days.
She asked, or argued, “But I notice you did not mention that your supporters were also in Portland this weekend, firing paintball guns at people, some form of pepper spray. So do you want to also take this chance to condemn what your supporters did in Portland?”
Trump hit that pitch out of the park. He noted, “paint is a defensive mechanism; paint is not bullets.” Then he went for the grand slam, connecting the rioters to the press. “Your supporters — your supporters — and they are your supporters, indeed — shot a young gentleman who — and killed him — not with paint, but with a bullet. And I think it’s disgraceful.”
In all, Collins tried to link Trump’s “supporter” or “supporters” to violence seven separate times. She also tried to shout over Trump, but her mask muffled the sound and Trump easily dodged the beanballs.
In short, another typical day at the ballpark. The news media teamed up against Trump and he smacked what they threw at him like a political Babe Ruth.
Now compare that to the Biden presser held just two days later. There were no brushback pitches, no beanballs. And nothing that a 77-year-old man couldn’t easily handle.
Everything was about decorum. None of the reporters talked over Biden. In fact, they said “thank you” to him five separate times.
That’s a word none of them uttered during the Trump presser.
The questions began with deference, unlike with how they addressed Trump. “Vice President, two quick questions for you if I may,” started off the presser.
Then, just as the reporters had done for Trump, they threw the pitches in from left field. The press was always trying to drive the narrative to benefit liberal politics.
Even though a reporter admitted that locals didn’t want Biden in Kenosha, the way he was asked about it was almost gentle. “Why is now the right time for you to go to Kenosha And what do you hope to accomplish tomorrow?”
That easy pitch was followed by one even easier, but still pushing the liberal ideal, hoping Biden might take an intentional walk from the debates. “Is there anything, you've said you'll participate, is there anything that could dissuade you from participating and how have you began to prepare?”
The questions tried to help Biden frame his responses. When asked about violence in Kenosha, he was reminded of the Democrat talking point, “obviously you are not president now and Donald Trump is.” Not that the rioters who burned down much of the city were Biden’s “supporters,” to use the CNN word. They didn’t ask that.
The game ended with a reporter giving Biden a chance to tout his fund-raising success. “You raised $364.5 million, your campaign and the DNC last month, record for a monthly haul, apparently. How are you going to spend it?” To which Biden jokingly asked the reporter to dinner.
This wasn’t even competitive. It was an exhibition among people who are all on the same team.
Biden should be used to it. These are the same pitches the press threw to his old boss President Barack Obama for eight years.
Journalists are already proving that’s the kind of bush league play we can expect if Biden wins.
