Taiwan's Microchip Dominance is forcing America to Save the World, Again!

Image
World War I and World War 2 forced American isolationism to end in order to save the world from fascism and communism.  Fast forward to the 2020s, and Communist Russia and China are back trying to attain global dominance once again.   The majority of the advanced microchips that run the world are made in disputed territory, Taiwan.    "If China annexes Taiwan, it would suddenly gain control of more than two-thirds of the global supply of microchips, allowing it to choke off access to them to any country it likes," says  Cassidy Warner, Australian writer living and working in Sydney. She has a BA with Distinction from the Univer sity of New South Wales, dual majoring in English and Politics.  Russia has added territory from its region.  Currently, about 20 percent of Georgia is under Russian occupation.      It now controls  40,000 sq miles  of Ukrainian land, entirely in the south and east.

Joe Biden vs Donald Trump

Image
 The media is down playing Joe Biden's low approval rating.  The current talking point is that the low approval rating it's not much different than the former president Donald Trump.   But are they being honest?  The Hill reported:  " As Biden first set foot in the Oval Office a year ago, real GDP was growing at 6.3 percent, inflation was 1.4 percent, the price of gasoline was $2.39 a gallon and Michigan’s consumer sentiment index stood at 79. Today, real growth has slowed to just over 2 percent, inflation is at 7 percent, gas is up to $3.31 a gallon and the Michigan Index is 68.8. In addition, real wages dropped 2.4 percent over the past year, with inflation overwhelming pay hikes after several years of gains under President Trump." The graphic below is extremely telling.. with the media that gave over 90% anti-Trump spin with constant investigation and 2 failed impeachment trials, Trump's approval rating is still surged beyond his initial approval rating ...

The incident was not reported to the police.   Hartline's Ford Truck hit a Cadillac Escalade at 4:30 It has not  confirmed if Hartline was driving the Truck, but he was the registered owner. When the Florida Highway Patrol called Hartline's home, he was nowhere to be found.    At the time of the incident Hartline was hitting a high note.  Only a fourth-round pick out of Ohio State two years before this accident, Hartline was impressive with over 16 yards-per-catch average. and ranked second in the league in first down receptions.   Brian Hartline did bounce back from what appeared to be an alcohol-related incident and continued  as a very productive receiver for the Dolphins for 4 years including the year of the inc...
