A Chinese company is set to receive more than $536
million in state incentives and tax breaks to build an electric vehicle battery
plant in Illinois, according to a recent WLS-TV report. The lithium-ion
batteries will be used in electric vehicles and energy storage systems. The erstwhile
Land of Lincoln’s Democratic Governor, J. B. Pritzker, has offered Chinese
Communist Party-linked battery manufacturer Gotion more than half a billion
dollars in largess to build a plant in Manteno, a town located approximately 50
miles south of Chicago. Pritzker has decided to shrug off any national security concerns. And Pritzker is not alone in his fondness for purportedly
CCP-linked companies to set up shop in his back yard. Just last fall, Michigan’s
Democratic Governor, Gretchen Whitmer, backed a plan to build a Gotion EV
factory in her state.
China is also buying up
America’s farmland. Especially in areas close to our sensitive military facilities. For some reason.
Authorities don’t seem to care. Even as the Biden administration threatens ever
more burdensome restrictions on American farmers. And as numerous
food processing plants are being destroyed.
Meanwhile, in Gotham City, Mayor Eric Adams has
announced massive budget cuts to offset the rapidly rising costs of providing
services to illegal immigrants.
Increases in crime and fire deaths at the same time
as Mayor Eric Adams is cutting the police and fire department budgets to offset
the increase in spending on illegal immigrants.
Adams has proposed cutting the city’s budget by 15%, in part by slashing the
Big Apple’s police and fire department budgets, in particular for overtime
spending. NYC’s Correction and Sanitation departments will also be expected to
cut overtime pay.
Unfortunately, response times to fires and medical
emergencies in the city have already increased over the past year, per the
Mayor’s Management Report. Those times are likely to increase even further due
to the upcoming budget cuts.
Moreover, there was a 52% increase in civilian fire
deaths from fiscal year 2019 to 2023, according to the same report. The FDNY
attributed the increase to more residents using e-bikes and e-scooters, which
run on, you guessed it, lithium-ion batteries. Officials say that there were more
deaths caused by battery fires than by electrical fires this past year. Hmm.
Perhaps New York should join Illinois and Michigan in attempting to get an
allegedly CCP-linked lithium-ion battery plant to locate there.
Democratic-led governments, federal and state, go
out of their way to berate, hinder, and push away American businesses,
especially those in the critical energy and food production sectors. (California
recently filed a lawsuit
against gas and oil providers.) Yet they welcome Chinese businesses with open
arms.
The Biden administration welcomes illegal aliens
with open arms—and open wallets (the taxpayer’s) but cannot be troubled to
protect and serve American citizens. Sorry there isn’t enough money for
the police and fire departments—or to pick up the garbage—but we have to take
care of the migrants first! Amazing. And sick.
I would ask those who blushed a bit when they heard
Trump repeatedly say “America First” how they feel now. How do you like “America
last?” Does it make sense for anyone?
It is time to once again put America
First. A call out to RINOS: forget globalism. Screw China. Quit sabotaging America
by trying to compromise with those who wish Americans ill. Stop counting your
cash. It’s time you Thurston Howell Republicans got off your asses and sided
with those who put you in office. To hell with the Democrats. Leave the safety
and comfort of the Uniparty. Do something that takes courage…for once. Build
the wall. Grow a spine.
Tell the truth.
And make America great once
more.
