Dear Dick,
Today, The Washington Post reported on Hezbollah’s extensive military capabilities, which Israel is preparing to confront as the Iranian-backed terror army brings Israel and Lebanon closer to war.
"[Hezbollah’s] arsenal includes guided and unguided rockets, antitank artillery, ballistic and anti-ship missiles, as well as explosives-laden drones — portending a complex, multi-front conflict that could reach far into Israeli territory."
Hezbollah has an estimated 150,000 stockpile of rockets and missiles — more than four-times the amount Hamas had before October 7. It also has an estimated 100,000 fighters — well over double what Hamas had prior to the war.
A major fear is that Hezbollah’s extensive arsenal of rockets and drones "could threaten Israel’s aerial defense systems if unleashed in large numbers." This problem would be exacerbated by the precision-guided missiles (PGMs) that Hezbollah has threatened to use against strategic Israeli infrastructure and cities, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
In a report released today, FDD researchers assessed that, "In a major war with Hezbollah, the IDF believes that it will not be able to rely on its defenses alone to protect Israelis and will need to conduct a large-scale offensive campaign in Lebanon to strike rocket and PGM sites before Hezbollah’s munitions can be launched."
Since October 7, Hezbollah attacks have killed 32 Israelis — including 12 civilians — damaged hundreds of homes, and burned more than 40,000 acres of forests and farmland. Just today, around 30 rockets were launched into northern Israel.
Also today, two Israeli civilians killed yesterday were laid to rest. The two Israeli parents — Noa and Nir Baranes, both 46 years old — leave behind two sons and one daughter.
Since October 7, 250 Israeli children have had at least one parent killed, and nearly two dozen have had both parents killed.

Biden has broken laws with abandon He has chosen to disregard SCOTUS" rulings, withheld important documents from Congress and th list grows.
++++
Not that it's anything new, but have you noticed how Biden and his Party are increasingly ignoring laws as though their power is exempt? Think about this story, student loan debt transfer to taxpayers, illegal immigration, spending without consulting Congress, funneling taxpayer $ to Woke non-profits, appointing judges who openly ignore the laws…just to name a few.
In this instance however, "the White House has completely failed to help the public understand Iran’s role as the head of the terrorist hydra of proxy militias behind the war in Gaza, Houthi attacks on commercial shipping, and attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq, Syria and Jordan." Yet another reason this President has to go.

The last three items are not positive because our results, considering the amounts we are spending reflect failure.

Subject: : The reasons why China is fast becoming the dominant power in the world
1 - They have a very low tolerance for crime. The death sentence is swiftly and routinely used for terrorists, murderers and drug traffickers.
2 - Very low tolerance for Religion. No such thing as a God. Almost no religious killings and getting rid of the Indigenous Chinese Muslim population as fast as they can.
3 - They have not been involved in any expensive wars or invaded any country for the last seventy years.
4 - Their primary weapon of choice to conquer the world is Finance and countries around the world are falling fast.
Not just the USA, the whole world is in trouble
In the near future, China will employ millions of American workers and dominate thousands of small communities all over the United States. Chinese acquisition of US businesses set a new all-time record last year and it is on pace to shatter that record this year
The Smithfield Foods acquisition is a great example. Smithfield Foods is the largest pork producer and processor in the world. It has facilities in 26 US states and it employs tens of thousands of Americans. It directly owns 460 farms and has contracts with about 2,100 others. But now a Chinese company has bought it for $ 4.7 billion and that means that the Chinese will now be the most important employer in dozens of rural communities all over America.
It is important to keep in mind that there is often not much of a difference between "the Chinese government" and "the Chinese corporations". In 2011, 43 percent of all profits in China were produced by companies where the Chinese government had a controlling interest.
Last year a Chinese company spent $2.6B to purchase AMC entertainment one of the largest movie theater chains in the United States. Chinese companies control more movie ticket sales than anyone else in the world.
But China is not just relying on acquisitions to expand its economic power.
"Economic beachheads" are being established all over America. For example, Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube Group, Inc. recently broke ground on a $100M plant in Thomasville, Alabama. Many of the residents of Thomas-ville, Alabama will be glad to have jobs, but it will also become yet another community that will now be heavily dependent on Communist China
And guess where else Chinese companies are putting down roots? DETROIT.
Chinese owned companies are investing in American businesses and new vehicle techno-logy and selling everything from seat belts to shock absorbers in retail stores and hiring experienced engineers and designers in an effort to soak up the talent and expertise of domestic automakers and their suppliers.
If you recently purchased an "American-made" vehicle there is a really good chance that it has a number of Chinese parts in it. Industry analysts are hard-pressed to put a number on the Chinese suppliers in the United States.
China is very interested in acquiring energy resources in the United States.
For example, China is actually mining for coal in the mountains of Tennessee. Guizhou Gouchuang Energy Holdings Group spent 616 million dollars to acquire Triple H Coal Co. in Jacksboro, Tennessee.
At the time, that acquisition really didn't make much news, but now a group of conservatives in Tennessee is trying to stop the Chinese from blowing up their mountains and taking their coal
And pretty soon China may want to build entire cities in the United States just like they have been doing in other countries. Right now, China is actually building a city larger than Manhattan just outside Minsk, the capital of Belarus.
Are you starting to get the picture yet? China is on the rise and has been for a long time while America plays political games.
If you doubt this, note the following:
When you total up all international imports and exports
China is now the number one trading nation on the entire planet.
# Overall, the US has run a trade deficit with China over the past decade that comes to more than 23 trillion dollars.
# China has more foreign currency reserves than anyone else on the planet
# China now has the largest new car market in the entire world.
# China now produces more than twice as many automobiles as does the United States.
# After being bailed out by US taxpayers GM is involved in 11 joint ventures with Chinese companies.
# China is the number one gold producer in the world.
# The uniforms for the US Olympic team were made in China
# 85% of all artificial Christmas trees the world over are made in China.
# The new World Trade Center tower in New York includes glass imported from China.
# China now consumes more energy than does the United States.
# China is now in aggregate the leading manufacturer of goods in the entire world.
# China uses more cement than the rest of the world combined.
# China is now the number one producer of wind and solar power on the entire globe.
# China produces 3 times as much coal and 11 times as much steel as the United States does.
# China produces more than 90 percent of the global supply of rare earth elements.
# China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to the operation of any national defense system .
# In published scientific research articles China will become number one in the world very shortly. And what we have seen so far may just be the tip of the iceberg.
Don't give up on the U. S.
We are still #1 in the world in:
(a) number of lawyers per capita
(b) cost of education per student
(c) growth in National debt
