China and I believe with a Russian back up, at least,is going to hit the U.S. on our soil in some fashion within the next 18 mos. . Not that they haven't begun already, looking at"small" things occurring around the country. Between the amount of drugs and the sea of people we have no clue of nor where they are. I'm glad I do not drink public water, take any pills,and do not buy pre- made food.. other t h an dairy. My head is on a swivel and What a change in the make up of employees out here in the country. I'm not talking hispanic nor blk. This is farm country we've always had a diverse population,especially in summer. Though farm hands. I'm talking non English nor Spanish ascents. I drove home wondering where did all the Obviuosly American workers , of all shades, in these places go in the last 2yrs? I watch everyone always have, you can see the disstain in the workers expressions,they have for all shoppers. Even when smiled and nodded at which I do with everyone. That's shopping, I wonder who's the back bone of hospitals, college and school maintenance. I know construction has changed,many more Eastern European people, Sanctuary state here what if any paper work is required or checked for authenticity. Man I honestly think Biden has and is rolling us over and shining a light on our soft underbelly. Writing about it changes nothing but awareness is important. When advisories watch dozens of people watch as police officers are nearly choked out and do nothing, people beaten ,raped , ran over and do nothing but video it. They are telegraphing our weaknesses around the world. . This country just may have to depend on people that actually fled oppression to step up with Americans that want to keep our freedoms. Because the others could out number us. Honestly sorting though all this is such a boondoggle one can't even become scared about it .

Oh, and the little noticed Huwei 5G story...turns out they are a risk to national defense add Trump claimed. I think Trump did realize many risks, but his nationalism passion, coupled with his delivery style, bravado, and antimocitity, yielded little. Covid and the supply chain impacts a splash of water in the face of some industries...especially gov, defense, auto and manufacturing...
