Does Eric Swalwell have another China problem?

t's bad enough that Rep. Eric Swalwell, who's running for governor of California, doesn't live here, as court filings allege. Now it's coming to light that he doesn't seem to have much loyalty to the country it's actually in. He's taken, and continuing to take, big campaign cash from a lawyer with abnormally strong ties to the Communist Party of China. According to Fox News: Rep. Eric Swalwell's, D-Calif., gubernatorial campaign continues to be bankrolled by Keliang "Clay" Zhu despite concerns over his ties to China and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Zhu donated another $25,000 to Swalwell's campaign earlier this month after he had already donated $5,000 to Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign in November

Welcome to "The New Monroe Doctrine," where I give you an update on what's going on in the Western Hemisphere, south of our border, especially as it relates to the United States.
China's been embedding itself in Latin America and the Caribbean for years. Decades, even. We know this. We know that during four years of whatever you want to call the Joe Biden administration, it got even worse. While Congress was arguing over pronouns and gender ideology, and the president was alienating our allies in the region, like Nayib Bukele; bending over for our adversaries, like Nicolás Maduro; and, well, probably taking lots of naps, China was setting up

From Loyal Opposition to Sabotage

I was raised to believe that democracy came with duties as well as rights. You voted. You accepted the outcome. You argued your case, made your peace with defeat when it came, and waited for the next election. Politics was competitive, sometimes bruising, but it was not meant to be an existential threat. The opposition’s role was to hold the government to account, not to weaken the country for political gain.
That older civic instinct now feels rather quaint.
In theory, the idea of the “loyal opposition” remains central to democratic life. But in practice, it is disappearing before our eyes. We still have opposition parties, of course. What we increasingly
So I gather “mogging,” and/or “mogged” is the new hip term for . . . something . . . among the Gen Z or Millennials, like “flexing” a decade ago. And it seems “maxxing” goes with it somehow. I can’t keep up. But somehow I suspect both terms can be used creatively with Gruesom Newsom, whose 2028 presidential campaign is already over, though he won’t know this for another couple years. Has there ever been a more phony person in politics? Yes, I know there are many contenders, but he has to be at the top of the heap by now. Meanwhile, the one and only job
“Green” Suicide

As badly as “green” mythology has damaged the United States, it has been even more devastating to a number of other countries, including Great Britain. Thus, we have this cri de cœur: “Britain’s industry ‘on cliff edge’ over cost of electricity.” It is becoming impossible to sustain basic industries–the ones most essential to any nation’s security–in the U.K.
Britain is committing a “national act of self-harm” through its high energy prices and risks losing its few remaining electricity-hungry industries, the chief executive of the Society of Chemical Industry has warned.
Sharon Todd said the country’s industry was “standing on the edge of a cliff”, facing electricity prices among the highest
President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union was one for the ages, and the night is still producing glorious fruit.
Trump held nothing back as he stealthily revealed the Democratic Party’s current “America last” position on the world stage. His repeated shaming enraged his political foes to the point where Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib began screaming like children.
Now it’s been revealed what Talib was mimicking while Republicans were patriotically chanting “U.S.A.! U.S.A.!” and it’s as predictable as you’d expect. (X) Seriously.
At least that’s what the live clip looks like, which can be viewed below:
Could things get any worse for Minnesota's elected officials?
In just nine years, autism-related spending in Minnesota ballooned from roughly $1 million to a jaw-dropping $343 million. That is not a typo. That is a more than 34,000 percent increase. Most of that surge happened under Democrat Governor Tim Walz. (X) We are not talking about a modest policy expansion. We are not talking about inflation. We are not even talking about a doubling or tripling of a program. We are talking about a spending rocket ship fueled by taxpayer dollars with almost no serious public alarm from the people who are supposed to guard the vault.
Before anyone starts screaming
President Trump named Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern (CPC)” in October 2025 because of the persecution of Christians, which is rampant in the West African country, and the regularly occurring extremist violence.
He tasked Reps. Riley M. Moore (WV-02) and Tom Cole (OK-04) with the job of detailing what exactly is going on over there and what we can do to stop it. On Monday, the congressmen handed in their homework: (X) In a statement posted on Riley’s website, he said that countless hours of work had gone into preparing the report:

Another day, another shooting incident involving a transgender individual. This time in New Hampshire.
From a Tuesday DOJ press release:
A Manchester resident has been charged in connection with a shooting that occurred over the weekend in Pittsburg, New Hampshire, U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan announces.
Blu Zeke Daly, a/k/a Cullan Zeke Daly, 26, was charged by complaint with one count of attempted murder of a federal officer and one count of assaulting a federal officer with a deadly weapon. Daly is currently obtaining medical treatment at a New Hampshire hospital and is under guard.
The arrest of Daly was covered by local news station WMUR. According to the report,
Another Joe Biden FBI Scandal
7 replies
The extent to which the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland was weaponized to serve the Democratic Party is a scandal that is still unraveling. The FBI was particularly turned to partisan ends, a scandal for which there has yet been no accounting.
It has most recently come to light that in 2023, the FBI tapped the phones secretly subpoenaed phone records of both Kash Patel–now, ironically, the Director of the FBI–and Susie Wiles, now the President’s Chief of Staff. This was all, I take it, part of the Democratic Party’s well-organized effort to prevent Donald Trump from being re-elected President in 2024.
That the FBI wiretapped Patel and Wiles is disgraceful,
One of President Trump's key priorities for his second term was rebuilding and re-arming our military, including making sure we have the best, most modern aircraft in the world. That may well be happening now, and in record time. The United States Air Force's first 6th-generation fighter, the F-47, is reportedly on track for a 2028 test flight. That's remarkably fast for a concept-to-cockpit development these days.
The advanced F-47 sixth-generation fighter remains on track to fly in the next two years, the senior Air Force acquisition officer overseeing the program said Feb. 25, as the service continues on its ambitious schedule to debut the air superiority-focused fighter by 2028
Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) is demanding a full investigation after Capitol Police arrested her guest during President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night — and the woman they hauled out might look awfully familiar to RedState readers.
The congresswoman invited 43-year-old Minneapolis activist Aliya Rahman — the same far-left agitator who went viral in January when ICE agents dragged her from her car during immigration enforcement operations in her home state — to sit in the gallery as her personal guest. Wouldn't you know it, somebody as attention-seeking and willing to intentionally get arrested to interfere in law enforcement actions as Rahman, seated next to a lawmaker

agents who use ‘excessive force’ against residents 31 replies
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has formally banned Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from city property as well as mandated the detention of any agent who uses “excessive force” on city residents.
The Democrat leader officially moved to protect illegal aliens from federal immigration enforcement with an executive order that comes amid his party’s efforts to use the current partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as leverage to force changes to ICE that would severely impact its mission.
“No ICE officer gets to stand in our way of saving someone’s life. To protect Denver, if we see any ICE officer using excessive force against a Denver resident,
WASHINGTON — A crowd gathered at a commuter gate at Reagan National Airport on Friday as fog-laden Washington skies caused an hourlong ground stop that backed up passengers hoping to head out from American Airlines' Terminal D. (Snip) Biden, who has rarely made public appearances since leaving office last year, sat, like many of his fellow passengers, awaiting a flight that would take him to Columbia, South Carolina, for an evening event with the South Carolina Democratic Party. Passengers whispered and gaped in wonder: Why would a man who for a time was leader of the free world be, like they
More than 20,000 illegal alien commercial truck drivers in California were about to lose their licenses, until a judge stepped in.
The Trump administration has been pressuring California to revoke the licenses of some illegal alien truck drivers after a series of news reports about truck drivers who did not understand English, causing deadly accidents.
An Alameda County Superior Court judge issued a ruling on Wednesday barring the state from canceling the licenses.
Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) isn’t just leading in the Texas Democrat U.S. Senate primary anymore. She’s pulling away, and she’s doing it as early voting is already underway.
The latest statewide survey, conducted Feb. 2 through Feb. 16 among likely Democrat primary voters, shows the Dallas congresswoman expanding her edge over state Rep. James Talarico. Early voting began Feb. 17 and runs through Feb. 27 ahead of the March primary, which means this shift is happening while ballots are being cast.
“Crockett leads Talarico 56 percent to 44 percent among likely Democratic primary voters statewide.”

The Trump administration is looking at the issues implicated in Ilhan Omar’s naturalization. That is what is to be inferred from Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon’s comments in the video clip below: “It’s a truism of immigration law that if you commit fraud in the course of obtaining your citizenship…if you lie about your marriage status on which your citizenship depends or you’re familial status or what have you, if you fake any of those documents or you lie that’s a grounds for denaturalization and so I think it’s been credibly alleged that there are serious questions about the circumstances
Former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the House Oversight Committee on Thursday that she had no idea about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. In her opening statement, which she later posted on X, Clinton said she had no idea of Epstein’s criminal activities. “I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein. I never flew on his plane or visited his island home or offices,” she said.
Speaking with reporters afterward, Clinton said she “answered every one of their questions as fully as I could,” adding that “I never met Jeffrey Epstein” and “I knew Ghislaine Maxwell casually, as an acquaintance.”
The pajama party is over.
Tampa International Airport set the internet ablaze on Thursday after its official X account declared war on what it called a full-blown fashion emergency unfolding at the gate.
“We’ve seen enough. We’ve had enough. It’s time to ban pajamas at Tampa International Airport,” its post read.
After bragging about previously “banning Crocs,” the airport said they were moving on to address an “even larger crisis: Pajamas. At. The. Airport. In the middle of the day.”
“The madness stops today,” the X post read.” The movement starts now. Help Tampa International Airport become the world’s first Crocs-free AND pajama-free airport. Do your part. Say no to pajamas at TPA.”
Semafor reported that, given Democrats’ chances of retaking the House, top Democrats are now devising how to focus on alleged corruption in the Trump administration amongst other issues in their investigative agenda.
“There’s opportunities to look at not just corporations that we think are enabling some of Trump’s corruption, but certainly corporations that are not supporting American families and not really focusing on affordability,” Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, said.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, said he might focus on potential violations of the Emoluments Clause, which bars the president from receiving gifts from foreign powers or American taxpayers.
The US and Israel launched airstrikes against Iran Saturday morning in response to the regime’s refusal to dismantle its nuclear program after weeks of negotiations.
The attacks — which the Department of War called “Operation Epic Fury” — follow a massive US military buildup in the Middle East and come after President Trump repeatedly warned Tehran that it would face consequences if it didn’t make a deal with the US.
Iran then launched missiles towards Israel in a retaliatory attack as officials claimed the response would be “crushing.”

Documentation of Khamenei's body was reportedly shown to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The death penalty is officially off the table for accused healthcare CIO killer Luigi Mangione. (snip) Mangione won't technically be charged with murder in the federal case, and will instead face a charge of "stalking" Thompson, leading to the father-of-two's death. (snip) In order to seek the death penalty, Garnett wrote, prosecutors needed to show that Mangione had killed Thompson while committing another "crime of violence." (snip) The judge acknowledged that her ruling might seem "tortured and strange" to the average person, but she stressed its the legally correct move, writing that "the law must be the court's only concern."
