World on the brink as Taiwan admits US troops are now stationed on Chinese border
https://www.the-express.com/news/world-news/131715/taiwan-usa-troops-china
EXCERPTS:
American troops are to be permanently stationed in Taiwan, according to Taipei, a huge move that will likely send tensions with China soaring as it president Xi Jinping covets the island.
Taiwan has officially confirmed the presence of US troops stationed on its islands in the Taiwan Strait permanently, a development that could further escalate mounting tensions with China.
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed in 2023 facilitated the deployment of these troops to conduct training programs for Taiwanese frontline forces.
The move comes as China continues to assert its disputed claim over Taiwan, viewing it as a renegade province despite never having ruled it. The heightened military activities by China in and around the Taiwan Strait have prompted Taiwan to bolster its defense capabilities.
It comes after Secretary of State Antony Blinken this week issued an ‘ironclad’ warning to China as tensions between the two nations rise. Closer to home a new poll found Biden and Trump are neck and neck in the race to win the White House and yesterday Trump warned EU countries that NATO ‘won’t be protected’ if he’s reelected unless they pay up in further signs of global tensions, which range from Ukraine and Russia to the escalating problems in the Middle East and the growing issues in Cuba and Haiti, where displaced citizens could flood into Florida sparking a wild move from Gov DeSantis.

In response to queries about the presence of the US Army Green Special Forces, also known as Green Berets, Taiwanese Defense Chief Chiu Kuo-cheng said: “No matter the situation, there may be blind spots or shortcomings. So we need to communicate with our allies - whether it is a team, a group or a country.
“We can learn from each other to see what strengths we have. This is a fixed thing.”
Former President Tsai Ing-wen had mentioned in 2021 occasional training sessions with US instructors in 2021, bu Chiu’s recent statement is the first official confirmation of the long-term nature of these activities.
According to reports from Taiwan’s United Daily News (UDN), US Army Green Berets from the 1st Special Forces Group are now permanently stationed at bases of the 101st Amphibious Reconnaissance Battalion, a Taiwanese army special operations force, located in outlying island counties of Penghu and Kinmen. Notably, Kinmen lies just over a mile from Chinese shores.
Additionally, reports suggest an American military presence in the northeast city of Taoyuan on Taiwan’s main island, with service members providing specialized training on drone equipment for Taiwan’s elite Airborne Special Service Company.

GA judge just gave Trump a legal “wink and a nod”… now, it all makes sense…
Revolver News ^ | March 20, 2024 | Revolver
President Trump just notched a legal win that may shed some light on the bizarre decision made by the judge in the Big Fani dismissal case. In a moment that felt suggestive in a “wink and a nod” kind of way, Judge McAfee not only granted Trump a substantial triumph but also opened the door for rectifying his own unjust ruling by approving Trump’s appeal request in Georgia. It appears as if McAfee wanted to wash his hands clean and defer to a higher court, almost as if he was encouraging Trump’s team to seek an appeal and give Big Fani the bum rush right out the door.

I hope this litigation nightmare will soon be over for TRUMP.
World on the brink as Taiwan admits US troops are now stationed on Chinese border
OMG!!! President Trump prescient again, warning of WW3!!!
Based on my understanding, our military is ill-equipped to fight in one theater, much less be spread even thinner with combat in two or three.
ENGINEERED FAMINE: Oregon starts SHUTTING DOWN small farms “to protect the people”
https://www.naturalnews.com/2024-03-20-oregon-suddenly-starts-shutting-down-small-farms.html
EXCERPT:
Small farmers are under attack in the state of Oregon, which has begun shutting down family farms throughout the state en masse under the guise of water conservation and groundwater protection.
Yanasa TV, a project of Yanasa Ama Ranch shared a roughly 20-minute video – you can watch it below – explaining what is going on in the Beaver State as bureaucrats erroneously dub small family farms as concentrated animal feeding operations, or CAFOs, in order to shut them down “for the environment.”
“The state of Oregon has effectively shut down small farms and market gardens on a large scale, and they’re actually sending out cease-and-desist letters to farms and they’re using satellite technology to find their victims and send them these letters that say you can’t operate,” the rancher in the video below explains.
Small farms aren’t CAFOs
The rancher explains that there are two different laws that Oregon officials are using to conduct these shutdowns. One involves the state of Oregon’s broadly vague definition of a CAFO, which reads, in part, as follows:
“The State of Oregon defines CAFOs as the concentrated feeding or holding of animals or poultry, including but not limited to horse, cattle, sheep, or swine feeding areas, dairy confinement areas, and poultry and egg production facilities where the surface has been prepared with concrete, rock or fibrous material to support animals in wet weather.”
Based on this definition, a few-acre homestead with pasture and, say, two milking cows and some chickens qualifies as a CAFO if it has any area on the property where rock or gravel is used as a pathway to get to a small barn or coop.
“The way that they have redefined CAFOs is going to impact nearly everybody,” the rancher warns about Oregon’s “updated” CAFO definition, which impacts his property as well. “Even on our property, we don’t have animals that are necessarily contained in one area (they’re roaming on pastures).”
Back in January of this year, a lawsuit was filed on behalf of small family farms throughout Oregon, arguing that the definition of a CAFO is too broad and negatively impacts pretty much anyone who produces eggs from backyard chickens, no matter the size of their property.
The case was recently covered by National Review, explaining that Oregon’s government “joined forces” with the large-scale dairy industry to oppress and tyrannize Oregon’s small farmers.
“This law is being enforced in the state of Oregon,” the rancher warns, telling the same story as National Review about Godspeed Hollow Farm in Newburg, Ore., which has been reclassified as a CAFO simply because it has a gravel pathway from the milking machine to the pickup station just 100 feet in distance.
“[Oregon] has already shut down some farms. There is an injunction on some of the definition of the law until it can be heard in court. Currently small dairy farmers ... a lot of what they’re requiring is simply too much for the small farmer.”
All Oregon groundwater, even on private property, considered public
Another thing Oregon farmers are having to deal with is the state’s rules on water. The only water that farmers are legally allowed to collect in Oregon is rainwater. Everything else, including water from rivers and streams, and even groundwater on private property, is considered a public resource.
Because of this rule, Oregon farmers are not even allowed to use water from their own private wells to irrigate their crops and hydrate their animals without a permit. Coupled with the CAFO rule, this one concerning water use is being abused in such a way as to make it prohibitive, if not impossible, for farmers to run their farms.
“This rule went into place back in 2021,” the rancher explains about how Oregon officials enacted the water rule, which just so happens to have happened at a time when everyone was being distracted and traumatized by Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “pandemic” tyranny.
“It has slowly rolled out to the point where market gardeners on a half-acre of land are now receiving cease-and-desist orders saying, ‘you can’t water your gardens; figure out another way.’”
The obvious goal in all this is to concentrate even more power and control over the food market into the hands of just a wealthy few while depriving small farmers of their livelihoods and incomes – not to mention their God-given right to grow, produce, consume, and yes, sell, the fruit of their labor for sustenance.
Be warned that if this kind of thing can happen in Oregon, it can happen everywhere. The tyranny usually starts in one area as a test case, and if the general public does not resist, it spreads like a virus elsewhere.
Americans, no matter what state they live in, have a constitutional right to food freedom.

Praying it will mostly be spent in Italy.

>>>Great that Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers is amplifying on President Trump’s warning of a Bloodbath in the auto industry.
Rogers has been endorsed by Pres Trump, although I believe he was a bit NeverTrump in the past and not exactly a MAGA favorite.
Rogers, a former U.S. representative, used the Breitbart interview to speak directly to Democrat voting union members.
“Yes, it will [be a bloodbath]. If you’re an auto worker, if you’re a second and third tier auto worker supplier here, you bet it does. It will be a bloodbath. That means your jobs are going away,” Rogers said. “Now when you lose your job and your ability to take care of your family, I don’t care what anyone says — that’s a bloodbath.”
Kyle Rittenhouse was about to be blown away by a criminal.🙄😶😶
>>>Not exactly sure how I feel about Kyle, but I guess his bold action perhaps saved other lives.
Glad he was acquitted.
Rogers, a former U.S. representative, used the Breitbart interview to speak directly to Democrat voting union members.
>>>Thanks, stars & stripes from enhancing and adding to my post.
Hope President Trump’s coattails help Rogers win the senate seat being vacated by Stabenow’s retirement.
It would be great if Michigan finally had a GOP senator.
I’m a bit behind on the news...
What does this “silly” mini protest have to do with Kyle?
That’s what I’d like to know. They don’t want him there.
