on China Buying U.S. Farmland

Original Article

Ohio Senate Democrat candidate Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) said, “We must do everything in our power” to block China from buying American farmland despite voting for the Inflation Reduction Act, in which Senate Democrats blocked a provision to protect against China’s incursion into America’s farmland. During the amendment process, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) proposed an amendment that would ban China from exploiting USDA farm programs to purchase American farmland. Senate Democrats blocked the amendment. Ryan did not raise these concerns when the House voted on the $700 billion Inflation Reduction Act. Instead, he cheered many farmer provisions in the bill,

this is so ludicrous it's beyond ridiculous to think that we are allowing our most dire enemy in the world to buy land, legally???, in our country and anyone who supports it should be expelled from the country and sent to the purchasing country, just for a little "education"

Ryan is an extraordinary hypocrite! Support J.D. Vance with your $$$ and your vote. His book, "Hillbilly Elegy" was a real eye-opener.

The foreign governments and interests buying land in the USA are not limited to China. Japanese, Arab countries, foreign investment funds (including government related or "sovereign" funds) are involved as well. Take a look at the prices of agricultural land in the United States over the last few years and you will see virtually everywhere the prices are rising fast. These foreign investments are part of that problem too.

Too late. Congress allowed China to infiltrate all parts of the country and they got paid off well for allowing it. We just get crumbs.

Why don't the individual States pass laws mandating that only US citizens can purchase farmland in their States? That would bring a lot of the Democrat and Republican operatives and politicians out of the shadows pretty quickly as they try to have the US Congress override those State laws through Federal Legislation, thus letting the cards fall where they may!

The first Moon rocket launched by NASA in five decades is expected to take off Monday morning from the Kennedy Space Center on Florida's coast that will be watched by Vice President Kamala Harris. Launch teams spent a final full day of preparations ahead of the planned liftoff of NASA's giant next-generation Artemis I rocket on its debut test flight, kicking off the agency's moon-to-Mars program 50 years after the end of Apollo. NASA officials said on Sunday that all systems appeared 'go' for liftoff, and weather forecasts called for an 80 percent chance of favorable conditions at the top of Monday's two-hour launch window, starting at 8:33am ET,

GOP Senator Lindsey Graham has warned there will be 'riots in the streets' if Donald Trump is indicted over his mishandling of classified documents. Graham suggested there was a two-tiered legal system based along political lines in support of Joe Biden and against the former president. 'Most Republicans, including me, believe when it comes to Trump, there is no law. It's all about getting him,' Graham said to Fox News on Sunday night. 'There is a double standard when it comes to Trump. What happened with Hunter Biden is that the FBI weighed in to make sure the story didn't break before the 2020 election.

Back before the bad orange man did bad orange things and scrambled the brains of everyone working within the beltway, the FBI used to actually solve crimes and handle real threats to American national security. It didn’t just run around crying about Russia and attacking enemies of people with blue hair, it did a good job of fighting crime. Well, one man from those older days at the FBI is now tearing into his former agency for involving itself in the Stasi-like Mar-a-Lago raid, calling the raid something that the feds are “going to regret.” That man is Kevin Brock, the retired assistant director of the FBI.

Director, actor, and longtime Democrat activist Rob Reiner was incredulous at the notion that the media censored coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal in the run-up to the 2020 election–a fact which is no longer in dispute. Reiner’s comments came during a discussion Friday on HBO’s “Real Time” when host Bill Maher mentioned the recent controversy surround author Sam Harris’ claims on a podcast that the media and big tech were justified in censoring the story of Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” during the 2020 election in order to stop Donald Trump’s re-election. “They were talking about the Hunter Biden laptop which was a story,” Maher said,

Hollywood star Drew Barrymore has been accused of “racism” for posting a video of herself dancing in the rain on social media. The short video shows Barrymore filming herself laughing, dancing, and encouraging others to enjoy the pouring rain. However, leftists pounced on the video and argued that it’s “racist” because she’s “frolicking in the rain.” The accusation comes from a “woke” activist with the handle @amushroomblackly who posted a video response, that quickly went viral, and accused Barrymore of cultural insensitivity. “Whenever you can, go out into the rain,” Barrymore says in her video.

FERC released the final version of the environmental impact statement evaluating the dam demolition plan. FERC commissioners will vote on whether or not to implement the plan later this year. The dam’s operators filed an application to surrender the Lower Klamath Hydroelectric Project on Nov. 17, 2020. The project rests on 400 acres of federal land in Oregon and California, and consists of the Copco 1, Copco 2, Iron Gate, and J.C.

In the transition from gas-powered vehicles to electric, the fuel every automaker is after these days is cold hard cash. Established automakers and startups alike are rolling out new battery-powered models in an effort to meet growing demand. Ramping up production of a new model was already a fraught and expensive process, but rising material costs and tricky regulations for federal incentives are squeezing coffers even further. Prices of the raw materials used in many electric-vehicle batteries — lithium, nickel and cobalt — have soared over the last two years as demand has skyrocketed, and it may be several years before miners

It's only a day since we reported on California’s intention to outlaw sales of new combustion-engined vehicles from 2035, and already the ripples are being felt across the nation. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) that governs motor vehicle emissions for the state adopted new rules that will require 35% of the new cars sold in the state are electric or plug-in hybrids by 2026, with that percentage rising to 68% by 2030 and 100% by 2035. California has a waiver from the federal government to set its own air quality rules, and other states are allowed to opt into its regulations, which are typically more stringent than the national standards.
