What the UAE is buying is 6 terminals of the approximately three hundred in the six ports. These are loading and off loading spots. They have nothing to do with security of the port.

Incidentally, you will all be shocked to discover that the company trying to buy these terminals also services our warships in the ME. In the meantime, China still has a large terminal in the LA harbor and most of the privately owned terminals (not government owned) are owned by foreigners.

Never has so much drivel been repeated over and over again by the MSM and the ignoramuses we call politicians. One despairs as to the very basis of democracy--an informed electorate.

P&O claims it is "The largest independent stevedore and terminal operator on the U.S. East and Gulf coasts".
Look here for the massive scope of their operations.

The left has taken over the media and the education system in order to misinform the electorate. They are driving religion out of the public domain so that we won't have a moral electorate either. As you say, informed and moral are the foundation of our country. It is obvious they intend to destroy our country as it is now constituted.

Standing in the way are us and talk radio. They are working hard to silence both.
