+ 1. It’s obvious that if this unconfirmed report is true, this is a social case of witness protection with the goal of combating a cartel. |
For the party that insists anyone who is not a republican is not American with rights, you are a meanie. |
No, we think people who are not citizens are not Americans and can be deported and deprived of specific rights like owning a gun. Because that’s the law. |
Exaggerate much, MAGA? Do you always talk in hyperbolic absolutes? |
What did the gay people do to you? They are not Americans? |
I was not aware of this until reading your post just now. So these students were bringing in a fungus known to harm farm crops. What could possibly be their motive? Please tell me they weren't planning to release toxins in America? |
Only in your disinformation bubble. |
I’m against Chinese importing dangerous illegal fungus that can kill our crops. Are you? |
It's a big nothingburger, IMO. Fusarium Graminearum is not rare in the US or hard to find here. It is naturally occurring and commonly found. These people were/are studying it here in the US. I've taken flights on which I brought samples I've collected during travel. Fusarium graminearum isn't a biological pathogen, which cannot be brought into the US. To me, it seems like the US flexing its muscles on more international students who are only doing dedicated research. More attacking academia. I find it very, very hard to believe that they brought these samples in for nefarious reasons. China is the #1 buyer of US agriculture exports. It makes zero sense for China to want to attack our crops because the 2nd and 3rd biggest buyers of US agriculture exports are Canada and Mexico, so it's not like China could go to one of those other big countries to get their goods. |
I wholeheartedly support questioning such students, but it is beyond stupid and myopic to think this is happening only at Harvard. If it’s happening at Harvard, it is also happening at Virginia Tech, MIT, Georgia Tech, UCLA, Rice, SMU, Stanford and more. Why just Harvard PP. |
Didn't China attack the orange crop in Florida? |
Thisis prevalent in the US and Canada. DHS and Trump are using this in their fear-mongering. Like most everything in the Republican repertoire these days, it is a bunch of BS seeded with irrelevant facts. |
Those local media are not going to cover this story. They are secretly happy that it happened. This is a sanctuary city. Which means it is a sanctuary for criminal aliens. You don’t have to believe it. Truly sad that these idiots have shielded a suspected murderer. |
Except for all these Democrat run areas that have a policy of not holding criminals for ICE to pick up. |
You are so damned naive. Read the DOJ news release. Then read CNN’s account of how it was smuggled into the US. Had it been released it could have had devastating effects to our crops and livestock. https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/04/us/chinese-researchers-smuggle-pathogen-university-of-michigan |
