Sometimes fiction predicts reality.
In Richard Condon's 1959 novel "The Manchurian Candidate," the son of an old American political family is brainwashed into becoming an operative for the Soviet Union. The brainwashing in the novel takes place when the main character and his infantry platoon are captured during the Korean War and taken to Manchuria before eventually being reinserted into the United States. However, some American politicians and political activists today seem to have deep ties, not to the Soviet Union, which no longer exists (although Czar Vladimir I would like nothing better than to resurrect it), but to Communist China. Tim "Great Walz of China" is one. Kamala Harris' ally and longtime president of the U.S. Black Chambers Ron Busby is another.
A powerful ally of Vice President Kamala Harris, who she has praised as an "extraordinary leader" who exhibits "courageous leadership," met with multiple CCP officials during a business trip to China, where he vowed to "[spread] the voice of Black businesses," Fox News Digital has learned.
Ron Busby, who has visited the Biden-Harris White House dozens of times and is the longtime president of the U.S. Black Chambers, met with several CCP officials during a previously unreported trip to China, a Fox News Digital review found.
"U.S. Black Chambers?" Isn't that... racist? Divisive? I thought the Democrats were all about inclusion. But that's not the really problematic part of all this; what's troubling is Ron Busby's willingness to "share and communicate resources" with Chinese Communist officials.
Busby told Chinese officials that the "[U.S. Black Chambers, Inc.] administered more than 100 chambers, and he is willing to share and communicate the resources with Xi'an in various fields," according to the Xi’an report reviewed by Fox News Digital.
Busby's position as the president of the U.S. Black Chambers makes him an influential business leader not only in the Black community, but he has been able to leverage his position to participate in meetings with top U.S. government officials, including President Biden, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Vice President Harris, among others on behalf of his group.
So we have here a divisive figure, a self-styled "black business leader" (no, "black" is not a proper noun in this context and I will not capitalize it), a man who has made a previously unreported trip to Communist China, who has offered to "share and communicate resources" with a Chinese Communist official, and who Kamala Harris thinks of an an "extraordinary leader." This person, Ron Busby, maintains contacts at the highest levels in Washington - he has met with President Biden, Kamala Harris, and other high-level officials, as noted above. To what end? We don't know.
Need any more reasons why Kamala Harris should never be President of the United States?

Look, as a private citizen, Ron Busby can go to China if he likes. The Chinese Communist Party carefully vets visitors and you can't go there without an approved visa, and the process for obtaining that visa requires one to submit information as to the flight number you are arriving on, where you will be staying, what your purpose in visiting is, and the date and flight number you will be leaving on - because, you know, otherwise everyone would want to stay in the Worker's Paradise. This was the experience I had when I applied to visit Shanghai to audit the Chinese manufacturing facility for a Japanese company I was working with at the time, and I expect Ron Busby had to go through a similar process.
But why is this man a Harris/Biden administration insider? A man who is the president of an organization that is, by dint of its very name, racist and divisive? A man who has freely offered to share his organization's resources with Chinese Communist officials?
Suspicious just doesn't quite get it. Ron Busby may not be a government official, but he sure has an influence on government officials. But then, Kamala Harris has as her running mate Tim Walz, who seems to be maintaining a long-distance love affair with Communist China. So, I suppose, nothing should be surprising to us with regards to the Harris/Walz campaign and China anymore. And China is not a friend or ally of the United States. We do business with them, and in economic matters, we do depend on each other to some extent - but that should not be mistaken for a political alliance.
Less than three weeks to go. These people must not be anywhere near the levers of power.
