OH: An American Hotel That Reports to the Chinese State Council.
To the side of the reception desk at a Crowne Plaza Hotel just north of Wilmington, Delaware in the United States hangs a small plaque. Placed between a sign stating that the hotel is owned and operated by Delaware Hotel Associates, LP, and a framed state of Delaware business license, the plaque says simply, “Minmetals.”
Were it not for the four Chinese characters accompanying the one-word English translation of Minmetals, few would suspect that the hotel’s ownership has anything to do with China. To the initiated, however, those four characters say, “Zhongguo Wu Kuang,” and they mean “China Minmetals Corporation.”
Minmetals is a behemoth mining, minerals, and metals organization owned and under the direct control of the Chinese government. It ranks number 109 on the Global Fortune 500 list of the world’s largest companies.
Minmetals reports directly to the powerful State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) of China’s central government. SASAC in turn reports directly to China’s State Council, the highest governmental authority in China.
Maybe this is just leftover Cold War paranoia kicking in, but don’t let yourself get picked up by some attractive young man or woman at the lobby bar.
EVERYTHING IS PROBLEMATICAL: SJWs Outraged White Actress Will Play African Queen Cleopatra. “Stop Whitewashing Cleopatra!”
My Egyptian history is a little thin, but Cleopatra was the last of the Ptolemaic — Greek — rulers of Egypt.
Some media outlets and activists are suggesting that Sen. Rand Paul (R–Ky.) is guilty of hypocrisy because he will travel to Canada for surgery related to his 2017 assault at the hands of a neighbor. Paul, after all, has warned loudly against adopting the Canadian health care system.
“Rand Paul, enemy of socialized medicine, will go to Canada for surgery,” tweeted Talking Points Memo. The tweet includes a link to a Courier-Journal story that reminds readers that “Paul has called universal health care and nationalized options ‘slavery.'” Newsweek went a similar route. . . .
Checkmate, libertarians? Nope.
Those who chuckled at this supposed irony missed a major detail, even though it was noted in the press coverage: Paul’s surgery will take place at the Shouldice Hernia Hospital in Thornhill, Ontario. The clinic is private, and run for profit; The Toronto Star’s Daniel Dale, who is from Thornhill, notes that it was “grandfathered in to Ontario’s socialized health system.”
Get beaten nearly to death by a Democrat, go for medical care, get mocked by Democratic Party operatives with bylines. And the press wonders why people hate it.

OH, PLEASE. EVEN THOSE WHO REALIZE SOMETHING IS WRONG WILL BE AFRAID OF SPEAKING OUT: Will Hollywood Denounce the Women’s March?
IT’S GOING ON ALL OVER THE WESTERN WORLD. FOR YEARS NOW THE LIBERAL ELITES HAVE RESPONDED TO ANYONE WHO DISSENTS WITH “SHUT UP”. THIS WILL LEAD TO REVOLT. SOME OF THE REVOLT WILL BE UNHEALTHY. AND YET THE LEFT KEEPS TRYING TO RATCHET UP THE SUPPRESSION OF ALL DISSENT, AS THOUGH SILENCING PEOPLE MAKES DISAGREEMENT GO AWAY. JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE RELIGIOUS FAITH IN THE ARROW OF HISTORY. THIS WILL END IN BLOOD. EVERYWHERE: Something’s going on in Europe.

GILLETTE RAZORS ARE THE LATEST WOKE BRAND TO TACKLE “TOXIC MASCULINITY:”
Also included are moments of an entire mob of boys chasing one boy to represent bullying, as well as a man “mansplaining” to a boardroom after a woman is finished speaking. The narration isn’t any better, commenting that men continue to do this and make the “same old excuses” for their behavior.
Just to make sure you understand that this was made by social justice warriors, a clip from The Young Turks’ Ana Kasparian talking about sexual assault and sexual harassment.
This video did not go over well. As of this writing the ad has over 39k dislikes vs only 5 likes on YouTube.
As of the time of my post, the like numbers have increased exponentially — but so have the dislikes. As the kids say on Twitter, I’m just here for the ratio:

SO APPARENTLY THE SUPER-SMART AI RECOMMENDATION ALGOS AT AMAZON HAVEN’T FIGURED OUT that I’m on a low-carb diet.
ERIK SVANE: The Truth About France’s Yellow Vests. “Before we go into detail about how the irritants have been growing for the past 15 years, notice how this is not une exception française, a specific Gallic exception. In it, you can recognize the deep state’s fight for control of the masses the world over.”
WALLS ARE UNAMERICAN, WE’RE TOLD: Right-Wing Activist Laura Loomer Allegedly Trespasses at Nancy Pelosi’s California House to Stage Protest. As somebody commented, she’s getting more attention on Twitter now than she did before Twitter banned her. “Loomer was kicked off Twitter in November after criticizing U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, a Muslim and the first Somali-American elected to Congress. Loomer’s tweet said that ‘Ilhan is anti Jewish,’ according to The Daily Beast.” Well, that was clearly true, which is why it wasn’t permitted.
