Tell me again, WHY is Nancy Pelosi going to Taiwan??
By MIKE HUCKABEE
Yesterday, I asked the question, “Why is Nancy Pelosi going to Taiwan right now?” It seemed no one else was asking this, but last night on his FOX News show, Tucker Carlson brought it up. There still are no answers, just questions.
At the time of his broadcast, government officials in Taipei had
been advised that Pelosi’s arrival was “imminent.” One source told the WALL
STREET JOURNAL that “she’s definitely coming.” The only thing yet to be
determined was whether she’d spend the night there. This is happening despite
the Chinese signaling that if she goes there, it could trigger “serious
consequences.”
“If House Speaker Pelosi insists on visiting Taiwan, China will
take resolute and strong measures to defend its sovereignty and territorial
integrity,” a State media spokesperson said. If U.S. fighter jets escort
Pelosi’s plane into Taiwan, they consider it an invasion and will “forcibly
dispel” her plane and the military escort, by firing warning shots and making
“tactical movement of obstruction.” If these moves are ineffective, the next
step is to “shoot them down.”
The White House wouldn’t address this in Monday’s press
briefing, choosing not to respond to a “hypothetical.” Note: the threat itself
is not hypothetical. It has been made, repeatedly.
“This is one of the weirdest moments in the weirdest presidency
in American history,” Tucker said. (I can’t speak to all of American history,
but it certainly is in my memory.) “The Biden administration is provoking a
hot war with China,” he continued, “which, by itself, would seem to be headline
news.”
Even if all this
Chinese swagger is just a bluff, why did we put ourselves in this
position? Pelosi MUST go to Taiwan now, as the Chinese are surely testing
us. They need to know: they don't get to say where Americans can go
and where we can't. We need to tell THEM where to go, and I think you
know where I mean.
But as I observed
yesterday, Biden’s administration isn’t exactly known for a firm stand with
China. Just the opposite, and it just might be because his family has taken
millions of dollars from the Chinese government. Biden has been complicit in
China’s effort to hide the origins of COVID. He’s also shut down the China
Initiative, intended to discourage Chinese spying. He's dropped tariffs on
Chinese goods. He’s even selling a portion of our Strategic Petroleum Reserves
to China and, as Tucker put it, “handing our entire energy grid over to the
government of China.”
The controversy surrounding Pelosi’s trip seemingly gave the
Pentagon the opportunity, through spokesman John Kirby on Monday, to utter this
sentence: “We do not support Taiwan independence.” Perhaps this administration
is using Pelosi’s trip as an excuse to offer yet another gift to the CCP: to
say out loud the exact words they demand we say.
It’s a balancing act, but officially, America doesn’t support
Taiwanese independence. We acknowledge, without endorsing, the “One China
policy” that says Taiwan is part of China.

Yesterday, we said the stance taken by our otherwise pro-China
administration –- provoking them with this unnecessary trip –- made no sense,
and Tucker concurs. “This does not make any sense at all,” he said. “In fact,
it only makes sense if the Biden White House is intentionally trying to weaken
and destroy the United States.”
I’d say just about everything this administration has done makes
sense only in that light.
Tucker likened this situation to what happened with Ukraine
earlier in the year. Biden sent...(drum roll)...Kamala Harris...to deal with
the complexities of peace negotiations there, so we ended up with (what else?)
war between Russia and Ukraine.
Fast-forward to this
moment. Does anyone really expect that Nancy Pelosi’s presence in Taiwan,
if she does go, will be helpful in promoting peace? I imagine Taiwanese leaders
quietly signaling, “Um, Madame Speaker, why don’t we take a raincheck on that
visit?”
Tucker went on to note that China if we were at war, “could
simply turn off our economy.” Their navy is larger than ours, and if they
control shipping lanes, they could shut down Taiwan’s huge semiconductor
industry. We depend on China for much more: car batteries, computers, phones,
refrigerators, food preparation equipment, shipping containers, the cranes you
see at loading docks, and most medications –- including more than 90 percent of
antibiotics.
We know for sure that the Bidens, including “the Big Guy” (our
President), are incredibly compromised. Last week, Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson
said he expected Biden’s Department of ‘Justice’ to keep any indictment of
Hunter (if there even is one) sealed. They’ll “do a deal,” he said, and “the
American people will never get the full truth.”
Recall that last week, Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz asked a senior
DOJ official if Hunter Biden is a security threat, and the official wouldn’t
answer.
I have a feeling that if Hunter Biden eludes indictment after
all he's done to put our national security at risk, or if he gets a slap on the
wrist and his charges are sealed, the level of response from the American
public will shock Washington DC. I think they underestimate how much we have grown to detest what we’ve learned about the “ruling elite.”
Consistent with this, THE EPOCH TIMES reports in a premium story
that a watchdog group called Protect the Public Trust is suing the DOJ for
withholding records on high-profile investigations, including the Hunter Biden
case. Over a year ago, they filed a Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) request
for documents relating to ethics waivers and “determinations to allow
potentially conflicted employees to work on cases.”
These would deal with potential conflicts of interest such as
the one involving Biden appointee Nicholas McQuaid, whose former colleague
represents (yes) Hunter Biden.
THE EPOCH TIMES ends its story with an unintentionally hilarious
quote from AG Merrick Garland: “Transparency in government operations is a
priority of this Administration and this Department. We stand ready to work
with each of you to make real the Freedom Of Information Act’s promise of a
government that is open and accountable to the American people.”
Will we ever know the
extent of the Biden family’s corruption? And if so, will it be long after the
damage has been done? John Hinderaker, in this must-read piece posted at
POWERLINE, wonders:
“Is the Biden administration deliberately trying to sell us out?
Is Joe Biden a paid agent of the Communist Chinese, or perhaps of the Putin
regime? I have always assumed the answer is no, but the troubling question is,
if Biden were a Chinese agent, what exactly would he be doing differently? The
answer: nothing.”

Hinderaker is focusing mostly on Biden's “climate” initiatives
that will destroy our economy and energy grid and enrich China with trillions of
dollars. But Biden is helping China and risking our national security on
multiple fronts. So, tell me again: WHY is Nancy Pelosi going to Taiwan?
RELATED:
At this writing, Pelosi has landed in Singapore, perhaps on her way to
provoking a confrontation between China and the U.S. (which will almost
certainly favor China). Through the Democrat Party apparatus, she’s apparently
connected to a company called “Ant Group,” a spin-off of Chinese company
Alibaba, which was flagged by the U.S. State Department as a “tool” of the CCP
for surveillance and control through the “social credit” system. Ant
Group also owns “AliPay,” a digital payment platform used by the CCP to
institute vaccine passports.
One of the consultants working for Ant Group is Larry O’Brien,
who has been described by the WASHINGTON POST as a “major Democratic
operative.” He’s been a longtime maximum donor in the DCCC (Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee) and active with the Speaker’s Cabinet and the “Pelosi Team
100” Program. On the Senate side, the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee
(DSCC), he’s a lifetime member of the Legacy Circle of donors. His involvement
with the Democrat Party is deep. And the social control technology Ant Group is
involved with in China should raise eyebrows as high as...well, Pelosi’s
eyebrows.
