COLD WAR II: China Works to Expand Influence in Caribbean.
Though Caribbean countries represent relatively smaller markets, they are of major strategic importance due to their close proximity to the United States. The Caribbean is also on China’s radar because many of the countries that recognize Taiwan’s sovereignty are located in the region.
“China’s objective is to gradually eliminate the recognition of Taiwan,” Richard Bernal, former Jamaican ambassador to the United States, told the New York Times.
Beijing also hopes for assistance from Caribbean countries in multilateral organizations. China has capitalized on influence gained through foreign investments, such as the Belt and Road Initiative, to gain control of United Nations agencies.
China’s efforts to make inroads in the Caribbean have already paid dividends. Beijing declared its intention in September to seek a “permanent friendship” with Cuba. This week, Cuba followed the lead of the Chinese mission to the United Nations in calling for an end to “white supremacy” and “institutional racism” in the United States, among other talking points often used by the American far left.

COMMUNIST FRONT CORPORATION: Zoom Settles With FTC for Allegedly Lying to Everyone About Encryption.
As Zoom’s stock price plunged amid promising news of a covid-19 vaccine development on Monday morning, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission announced a settlement with the video conferencing company over a “series of deceptive and unfair practices that undermined the security of its users.” The FTC hopes the settlement will send a warning to any companies making unfounded claims about user privacy and security.
The FTC said in a press release on Monday that since 2016, Zoom misled customers by falsely claiming it provided “end-to-end, 256-bit encryption” for its users’ video conferences. Instead, the FTC said, “it provided a lower level of security” that was not end-to-end encrypted at all. The company also “secretly” installed software on Mac users’, and made false claims about the security of video recordings stored in Zoom’s cloud, the FTC said.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: McConnell Reminds Dems About the 4-Year Election Tantrum They Just Finished. “After listening to the Democrats scream ‘RUSSIA!’ and ‘NOT MY PRESIDENT!’ since 2016 I’m kind of hoping this gets dragged out a little longer just to annoy them. They deserve much worse as payback for their unconscionable behavior of the last four years. Much, much, worse. If all the retribution they have to deal with is a few days of being aggravated on social media because Trump doesn’t concede when they want him to then they’ve gotten off lightly.”
IF YOU STRIKE HIM DOWN… 5 Reasons Conservatives Should Have Hope For The Future.
I remember hearing the smart set tell us how a Herman Cain would be an abject failure as a candidate or president, so we’d better go with a traditional politician, such as John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Jeb Bush.
Then came Trump, dismantling the entire paradigm. One of the most beloved politicians in our history, he showed us how a successful American with a love for his country can do great things, things politicians have been promising for years, such as lowering unemployment for minorities, increasing wages for the working class, sticking it to communist China, creating peace in the Middle East, giving us energy independence, restructuring bad trade deals, withdrawing from foreign entanglements, and revolutionizing the federal judiciary.
Meanwhile, the Democrats get to watch a doddering hack grapple with the wily Sen. Mitch McConnell for four years, while trying to pick up the pieces of an economy they tanked to get Biden elected president and nothing else. Or maybe they’re looking forward to a President Kamala Harris doing her “Excuse me! Excuse me!” routine like that vice principal you mocked in high school.
You almost have to laugh. While they’re locked into “establishment mode” for four years, pantomiming gravitas with their whole “adults in the room” schtick to impress the seven remaining people watching CNN, the right will be having a blast retaking the House, nurturing a new generation of Trump-like candidates, and choosing another unconventional leader for president in 2024 that we actually like and don’t have to hold our noses to select. We’re done with the establishment, and it feels so liberating.
Read the whole thing.
I’d rather keep the White House and continue the revolt, but if it turns out over the next few weeks we only get to keep one, the movement is more important than any single election.

CHANGE: Right-leaning social network Parler tops free app charts. “With Twitter and other mainstream social media apps more strictly enforcing rules against election-related falsehoods, more permissive, often right-leaning platforms have seen a surge of interest.”
It’s Axios, so of course, they have to frame free speech for conservatives as “election-related falsehoods.”
I tried Parler a while back but gave up because after almost two years away from Twitter, I’m over that particular format. However, I am in the process of ditching Facebook for my personal social media fun and moving over to MeWe.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG ASIDE FROM LITERALLY EVERYTHING? Mideast heads for policy revamp under Biden. “Contrary to Donald Trump’s impulsive policies in the Middle East, Joe Biden is expected to shift back to a more conventional US stance and re-engage with Iran, redrawing regional geopolitics.”
“Impulsive.”
Me, back in August on “Trump and the Art of the Middle East Peace Deal”:
That’s not to say that peace and love and happiness will break out throughout the Middle East, or that the peace will last forever. Trump is a dealmaker, not a miracle worker.
But the theater we just witnessed — which will create genuine benefits for Arabs and Israelis alike — was a very stable genius bit of kabuki:
• Launch a peace initiative designed to induce the Palestinian leadership to indulge in their usual bad behavior
• Give Israel the backing it needed to ostensibly take dramatic action in the Jordan River Valley
• Watch as Israel and Arab governments practically fall over themselves to “give up” the land Israel never annexed in exchange for the peace the Arabs need in order to face Iran
Nobody actually gave up anything, and everybody is getting what they wanted.
Well, except for the Palestinians, but yet again, they have only themselves to blame for that.
Maybe Trump just lucked out, somehow bumbling his stupid way into peace.
Maybe the Bolshoi Ballet is just an infinite number of hyperactive spider monkeys in leotards.
Nothing this well-orchestrated happens by happenstance.
I hope you have plenty of fresh unexpectedlies ready in case Biden lets Iran back out of the box Trump put them in, as he seems inclined to do.
ALSO: Biden has been on wrong side of foreign policy issues for decades.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: The Comrade Biden Show Is Already Kinda Creepy. “For the longest time I thought that they’d be working on an exit plan for Biden the second the election was over. Many have wondered aloud if the Democrats are going to hit their own president with the 25th Amendment. Now I’m starting to think that they will probably keep the old boy around and have a few people playing the role of Edith Wilson in the background.”
