ABC’s recent history of blaming the United States, and especially the Trump administration, and not communism for Cuba’s ongoing economic disaster continued on Saturday’s Good Morning America as reporter Alex Presha and guest co-host Rachel Scott blamed American sanctions instead. Unfortunately, this time, they were also joined by CBS Saturday Morning and White House reporter Olivia Rinaldi, who claimed the U.S. was “plunging the country into darkness.”
When Donald Trump strode on to a stage at a campaign rally in Indiana in 2016, he made one thing clear: China was America’s chief economic antagonist.
“We can’t continue to allow China to rape our country,” he told a crowd in Fort Wayne. “We have the cards. Don’t forget it.”
The anti-China rhetoric didn’t let up – through a decade of rallies, his 2024 campaign and into his second term.
Keep your enemies closer?
After being presented with piles of evidence showing his office systematically allows violent criminal illegal aliens back on the street, Steve Descano, the George Soros-backed Fairfax County, Virginia, Commonwealth’s Attorney, continued to claim his office does everything in its power to prosecute them properly.
Over 400 organizations that explicitly want to wipe Israel off the map and wreck the USA are organizing protests globally this week, and some of them have ties to the murderous Chinese Communist Party (CCP), according to a new Fox News report.
Unfortunately, the United States is the biggest hotspot of the Marxist revolutionaries protesting in favor of destroying the world’s only Jewish state to transform it into another addition to the world’s 50 Muslim nations. CCP-linked billionaire Neville Roy Singham has been bankrolling anti-Israel, pro-Iran protests in the U.S. for weeks.
CIA director John Ratcliffe met Cuban officials in Havana on Thursday as a way to improve dialogue between the US and the communist-run island, the Cuban government said.
The meeting took place “in a context marked by the complexity of bilateral relations, with the aim of contributing to the political dialogue between both nations”, a statement said.
The CIA did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday.
The United States, with “America First” President Donald Trump at the helm, along with his anti-Castro Cuban-American Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has been putting the pressure on the communist regime founded in 1959 by that infamous revolutionary, Fidel Castro. In an executive order issued in May, the president deemed the island country, which is only 90 miles off the Florida Keys, an “unusual and extraordinary threat,” and the administration has been busy since slamming them with sanctions and cutting off their oil supplies.
US President Donald Trump left Beijing after a two-day summit saying he had struck “fantastic trade deals, great for both countries”, but few details have emerged on what the two superpowers agreed.
Trump arrived for a high-stakes summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Wednesday, accompanied by several CEOs: a high-profile business delegation spanning agriculture, aviation, electric vehicles and artificial intelligence (AI) chips.
Trade was near the top of the agenda despite recent tensions over the Iran war, and businesses hoped for key deals as well as an extension of the tariff truce that is due to expire in November.

China could go to war with the United States over Taiwan, Xi Jinping warned in a tense start to Donald Trump’s state visit.
The Chinese president said the disputed territory was the “most important issue in China-US relations” in comments released by state media on Thursday.
“If it is handled well, bilateral relations can remain generally stable. If it is not handled properly, the two countries could collide or even come into conflict,” he said. That would be “very dangerous”.
In the United States, the life expectancy is 78.4 years. In Canada, it’s 82.2.
That would be a good statistic to insert into a response to America’s Canada-trashers, like Ambassador Pete Hoekstra or Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. A line like: “Dear Americans, if you want to live several years longer, move to Canada.”
It’s a telling statistic. In the debate in Carneyland over the need to turn away from the United States and broaden relations with Europe and elsewhere, the focus has been on the imperative of lessening reliance on American trade and defence.
Hollywood’s clout is in well noted decline primarily because it has become un-American.
TDS bash all you want but Trump is making America far more free and far better off economically than Canada.
US President Donald Trump is in Beijing on the first trip to China by an American leader since in his own previous visit, during his first term in 2017.
He was given a spectacular welcome at the Great Hall of the People. The two leaders shook hands on the red carpet before entering a room for their bilateral meeting.
The talks lasted around two hours, longer than expected. Trump called the talks “great”, but there are few details on whether any progress was made on key issues.
Canada can’t even close them down – US citizen convicted of running secret Chinese ‘police station’ in NYC
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. President Donald Trump is in Beijing this week for a high-stakes summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping — their first meeting of 2026 after a year of tariff escalation and just months after Prime Minister Mark Carney’s own trip to China.
The talks begin on Thursday on issues ranging from Iran and Taiwan to trade.
In February, President Trump joked at a closed-door Alfalfa Club dinner, “We’re not going to invade Greenland. We’re going to buy it.”
Alas there is no Buckwheat Club or even a Spanky Club.
He explained, “It’s never been my intention to make Greenland the 51st state. I want to make Canada the 51st state. Greenland will be the 52nd state. Venezuela can be 53rd.”
The Washington Post this week reported that Xi Jinping, on the eve of his summit with President Donald Trump, is “confident in China’s power.” The country, from the outside, looks strong.
Xi’s inward-facing actions, however, betray a deep sense of insecurity. Trump can take advantage of it.
It feels like California is the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) espionage playground. There’s been more than one rogue Chinese bio lab filled with germs, bugs, and diseases busted by law enforcement. Chinese spy balloons lazily hoovered up intelligence over sensitive U.S. installations across America. Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s spymaster chauffeur and body man probably heard all manner of secrets from her days chairing the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the Judiciary Committee, and the defense subcommittee, but no biggie. Nobody was arrested. Eric Swalwell was a dim city councilor until he met PRC honeypot Fang Fang, who propelled him to a congressional post where he dished bad intel to the American public and who knows what to Double Fang. And now we have the continuation of the curious case of the after-school tutor-turned-Arcadia mayor and her personal Double Fang handler. Oh, excuse me: fiancé.
The Central Intelligence Agency vehemently denied reports of its participation in deadly operations against drug cartels in Mexico.
On Tuesday, CNN published a report alleging that the CIA had vastly expanded its operations in Mexico against drug cartels, including getting directly involved in assassinations of cartel figures. The most notable was its alleged facilitation of a car bombing on a busy Mexican highway that killed Francisco “El Payin” Beltran on March 28. CIA spokeswoman Liz Lyons denied the report in strong terms, accusing the outlet of endangering American lives.
