Roof: Even a tiny amount of China-owned U.S. land is too much

Not that I ever accused Jody Sweeney of being the sharpest tack in the pack, but his recent commentary downplaying Chinese ownership of real estate sounds like something Congressman Hank Johnson, D-Ga., might say in defending our puppet president (“China doesn’t own as much U.S. land as some think").

Do not be fooled by Mr. Sweeney’s logic. China, a foreign entity, was allowed to purchase and to own our sovereign soil. China, even while sounding war drums if invading and taking over our Pacific rim ally, Taiwan; foisting a pandemic; and seeking world dominance, has linked up with the suddenly leaning-communist Democratic Party. (If you recall, Democrats brought Chinese nationals to Magnolia to “teach” kindergarten children.)

Sweeney proclaims that they only own 1% of our soil. Really? If you had cancer in only 1% of your body, does that mean your first step wouldn’t be to excise it from your body?

Factually, the “1%” is intentionally false and misleading. China already owns most of our pharmaceutical industry. It has taken over ownership of many of our meat-producing industries. It has majority control of solar power production equipment being pushed by Joe Biden and crew. Most of our textile industry has moved to China. Thanks to Barack Obama’s and Biden’s empowerment of the Environmental Protection Agency, nearly all leather production is from China, and we know that all the highly prized and pilfered athletic footwear comes from China. Lightbulbs? Dishware? Non-factory car parts? Appliances?

According to Sweeney, however, we should just look the other way when the Democrats surrender a single grain of sand to any foreign entity, especially an entity whose soul intent is to take over control of the world.
