Soong Mei-ling passed away in 2003 at the age of 105, the longest-lived Soong sister. In 1975, Chiang Kai-shek passed away. Soong Mei-ling was devastated, and had to be supported by her stepchildren Chiang Ching-kuo and Chiang Wei-kuo in order to make it through the memorial. Soon after, she moved to the US to lead a quiet life.
2024 Angela Chao DEAD
Angela Chao, 50, DEAD was head of the Foremost Group and the sister of former
Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, married to Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell
Transparency: Blanco County officials not releasing records into Angela Chao’s death investigation
Angela Chao was Sen. McConnell’s sister-in-law & CEO of Foremost, a shipping co. founded by her father James Chao, who has deep ties with the CCP and a personal friend of fmr Pres of China Jiang Zemin.
VIDEO Is the Chao family covering up Angela’s suicide?
Mitch McConnell’s sister-in-law, Angela Chao, was beautiful, intelligent, and wealthy. Her death was tragic. But what made it mysterious is her family’s attempt to cover up the real cause of her death. I think Chao might have been caught in ugly CCP politics and worsening Sino-US relations, and committed suicide. Her death case is strikingly similar to the death of another accomplished Chinese American, Profession Zhang Shoucheng, whose ambition and talent became a fatal combination.
Sheriff’s deputies responded to 101 Schneider Lane in Johnson City for a possible water rescue before midnight on Feb. 11. Public records show the property is owned by a trust that shares the same Chicago address as an investment and public equity firm owned by Chao’s husband, Jim Breyer.
Firefighters with ESD No. 2, headquartered in the city of Blanco, responded to the scene after midnight, the newly released report shows. They arrived at the ranch shortly before 12:30 a.m., the report shows — about 27 minutes after they were called. Quote Austin Statemen
Crystal Ann @Crystal91a Feb 24 Replying to @credibletruth1 and @Jkylebass
It is not McConnell’s ranch but Angela Chao and her husband Jim Breyer’s. She was on her own property. You can find threads containing more ownership details, but they bought it through their Jwcb Ranch LP corporation [JW Chao Breyer or James W. Chao Breyer] on May 10, 2021.
Mitch McConnel’s brother in law, Jim Breyer, is about to be charged with espionage on behalf of the CCP. Billionaire wife, Angela Chao, died in her car in a stock tank in the Texas boondocks two weeks ago, one day after Breyer’s company was put on Pentagon do not do business…

VIDEO Behind Angela Chao’s death: Deep tie with Evergrande case/Too late to quit CCP’s military enterprise
According to Chinese media Caixin.com, on February 12, 2024, Angela Chao, Chairman and CEO of Foremost Group, a large U.S. shipping company, passed away at the age of 50 in a car accident. For China’s shipbuilding industry, “Foremost” is a famous name. It’s one of the first Western shipping companies to buy ocean-going vessels from China, and China’s largest customer for ship exports to the U.S. In January 2024, half a month before Angela’s death, the Foremost Group had placed an order worth $168 million with a subsidiary of the state-owned China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC). Angela’s family is known in overseas Chinese circles as “The First Chinese American Family.” Her father James Chao is the 96-year-old founder of the Foremost Group and has been dubbed “Chinese Ship King.”
CHAO FAMILY
Parents born in China, but fled to Taiwan in 1949 due to the Chinese Civil War. (see the movies above)
Her father came to the United States in 1958, while her mother and three oldest sisters moved to the United States in 1961
2. Angela’s father James S. C. Chao, founded Foremost Group in 1964.
James S.C. Chao, 91, Ms. Chao’s father, studied navigation at a university in Shanghai before fleeing the mainland ahead of the Communist takeover in 1949. His schoolmate for a time was Jiang Zemin, who would become China’s president.
Chinese official who was general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP; 1989–2002) and president of China (1993–2003). Jiang joined the CCP in 1946
Foremost Group operates a global fleet of bulk carriers. As CEO, she became interested in adding more environmentally sustainable vessels that can burn alternative fuels to the company’s roster.
At one point in her career, she was a member of the board of the Bank of China, a vice chair of the Council of China’s Foreign Trade and a director of the China State Shipbuilding Corporation, a Chinese government-owned enterprise that makes ships for the Chinese military, Foremost Group and other customers. She was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations
MUSK
Elon Musk is blocking internet service for US military troops in Taiwan—breaching SpaceX’s contract with the Pentagon. Furious lawmakers sent Musk a letter, warning that he’s “putting US troops stationed in Taiwan in serious danger.” Musk is helping China!
Tesla’s success hinges on favorable business relations with China, which has led Musk, its CEO, to cultivate cozy relations with the country.
@clearing_fog
Not sure if folks picked up on this, but credit card companies are saying that a lot of transactions paying for ads on this site are unauthorized.
As in, a not-insignificant amount of Leon’s advertising surges may be coming from stolen credit cards.
You can’t fire 75% of your team and not expect the failure of dead obvious controls built over a decade+ of doing this. At what point is it just straight-up money laundering?
@nandoodles
So Elon Musk is forcing @stripe to facilitate stolen credit card transactions and payments to U.S. sanctioned terror orgs?
A wave of ad spam that has appeared on X in the past two months appears to be financed with stolen credit cards.
My @stripe theory prevails. How long before this whole thing shuts down?
RETHUGLICANS VS HIGHER ED
Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson of Louisiana — the fourth-most uneducated state — during a November interview: “The Republican Party is attracting less and less more highly educated voters,” Johnson explained, “because they spend so much time in the academy” — which, he said, was run by “liberals almost entirely.”
“So these students are being indoctrinated,” Johnson said.
He got one part right: The educated don’t like Republicans.

Trump and Blacks
Why Trump says blacks love him. Seriously:
– He’s selling tennis shoes.
– He’s been indicted many times and has his mug shot on t-shirts.
And …
Last night he complained the lights were so bright in his eyes that he
could only see the blacks in the audience.
Donald Trump: They Are Taking ‘Knocker Fields and Baseball Fields’
> From the Children <
Yeah, his cognitive condition is clearly very serious.
When Trump demanded that innocent minorities die
As Trump claims how much minorities love him, a reminder of how he
demanded the death penalty for five innocent boys for a murder they
were later found not to have committed, even taking out full page
advertisements demanding their deaths. He has never apologized for
this.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/feb/17/central-park-five-donald-trump-jogger-rape-case-new-york
Correction: In that NYC case where Trump demanded death, it was a horrific rape and critical injuries, not a murder.

AT&T vs. General Telephone
Unlike today’s horrible AT&T, at least General Telephone (later aka
GTE and Verizon) who covered the parts of L.A. that AT&T didn’t cover
(a terrible patchwork), was honest many years ago about how bad they
were.

Comments at the CPUC about AT&T goal of killing landlines and other
California services
Noticing that the comments (approaching 5000 now total) on the two
AT&T proceedings at the California Public Utilities Commissions where
they want to end landline and other services in California and push
everyone to wireless) are now prominently featuring the massive
national AT&T mobile outage. I couldn’t have timed that better myself.
A reminder that links to read or post comments on the proceedings are
on the https://www.vortex.com home page for now.
Trump on immigrants: They have languages that nobody in this country has ever heard of. It’s a very horrible thing.
Donald Trump has no idea what Melania and Barron are saying about him when they speak Slovenian and he hates it.
HEALTH
Let this sink in—if the former U.S. Surgeon General
can’t afford a hospital visit, after knowing full well about doctors and insurance, and having a “premier” health insurance plan—what hope is there for the rest of us? #Medicareforall #healthcareforall now!
@JeromeAdamsMD
Recently had an ER visit for dehydration while out of town. Received some labs and 3 IV bags. Here’s the bill- AFTER insurance. It’s no wonder medical debt is the top cause of bankruptcy in the U.S. #HealthcareCosts #MedicalDebtCrisis
I’m a doctor who is in the top 1% of earners. And even I don’t have $4896.43 lying around. So I clicked “billing options” and was relived to see that I was offered an alternative to “pay us $5k right now or have your credit ruined.” I could go on the $1632.15 per month plan!
20+ million Americans are submerged in a staggering $220 billion of medical debt.
@R0b0tSp1der
Literally just don’t pay it.
They’ll send you a bill for half the amount in 6 months. Then they’ll settle all their arrears for the year, and there’s a 50/50 chance that it just goes away and they forgive it.
OR you can settle for ~25% of that amount.
