Editor,

Here we go again Mr. Grocott (“Marriage to China” column in the Dec. 15 edition of the Daily Journal). In case you can’t do a simple Google search, here are some stories from the other side.

Mr. Surraco,

You just scratched the surface with the examples you gave. There are the millions in personal loans from Chinese banks, the donations to his campaign to re-elect him in the hundreds of thousands of dollars from Chinese nationals, his business deals for Trump merchandise etc. The list goes on and on.

Taffy - those are wild allegations. Can you please corroborate the millions of dollar donations to the Trump campaign? Perhaps from Taiwan but certainly not from Red China. Another "Trump bad, Biden great" comment from you.

“Wild allegations” I guess you haven’t heard your delusional leader in the past 6 weeks. BTW, I said millions in bank loans, the election quote is below.

“the donations to his campaign to re-elect him in the hundreds of thousands of dollars from Chinese nationals,”

I know you will be banned from the right wing Trumpers if they find out you are asking for facts to back up something but if you copy the link below and then go use your neighbors computer for a few minutes you will learn something and they will never know.

Yes, Mr. Surraco, let’s wait and see. And while we’re at it, let’s wait and see who will be elected President.

Uh Terrence, the Electoral College gave 306 votes to Biden. What more do you need to acknowledge the election? Are you expecting a right wing coup? Does the workings of democracy not work for you?

Good morning, all

Pointing to bad behavior by Ivanka does not let Hunter off the hook. Let's deal with them separately. Ivanka made money by selling her home to a Chinese buyer... that's a matter of public record. Hunter made money by... well, we're not exactly sure how he made several millions of dollars. A lot of Hunter's income shows up in bank accounts with no explanation.

Ivanka's business dealings may be distasteful to a lot of Americans. Hunter's business dealings are being investigated.

I do agree with Bill when he suggests that some things about Hunter and his relationships to Chinese businesses were left out of Matt's column. And when those things are finally known, there will be an even greater disparity between Ivanka and Hunter.
