Biden Plans to Keep Coddling Europe

Just who is the superpower?

President Joe Biden is venturing abroad. He’s off to the United Kingdom for the G-7 meeting, Brussels for a NATO gathering and side chat with Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and finally to Switzerland to talk with Russia’s Vladimir Putin. It’s a full trip, and Biden apparently plans to spend a lot of time apologizing for his predecessor.

The New York Times headlined its article “Biden Aims to Soothe European Leaders Unsure of U.S. Reliability.” (Online ended up with a more prosaic title.) Biden, reporters Michael D. Shear and David E. Sanger declared, will be “trying to reassemble and rally the shaken Western alliance.” His “overarching task is to deliver the diplomatic serenity that eluded such gatherings during four years in which Mr. Trump scorched longstanding relationships with close allies.”

Chip Roy seeks to ban China from purchasing US land

Texas congressman Chip Roy is introducing legislation Friday to ban members of the Chinese Communist party from purchasing American land, The Spectator has learned.

The bill, ‘called the ‘Securing America’s Land from Foreign Interference Act’’, aims to curb foreign influence gained through major land purchases throughout the United States, which Roy identifies as a major national security threat. A Chinese-based energy company recently purchased a 130,000-acre wind farm in Texas right next to a US Air Force base. Smithfield, one of the nation’s largest meat producers, is owned by a Chinese firm and yet controls nearly 150,000 acres of US land.

The Effect of Communist China on America’s Clean Energy Plan

“The Middle East has oil, China has rare earths”, Deng Xiaoping said in 1992. Nearly three decades later, the world is almost completely dependent on China for rare earth materials. They constitute key elements in large swaths of modern technology from consumer electronics to military equipment and green technology: Mobile phones, computers, fighter jets, guided missiles, solar panels, wind turbines and electric vehicles, among others. While demand is soaring, China is virtually their worldwide exclusive producer. “To extend Mr Deng’s comparison, it is as if the Middle East not only sat on most of the world’s oil but also, almost exclusively, refined it and then made products out of it,” wrote The Economist in 2019.

U.S. lawmakers planning economic battle with China have some questions — about Canada

…. The bigger story of the bill is an economic one: That the era of free markets is falling out of fashion, replaced by government-mandated industrial policy.

The trend appears bipartisan.

The shift in attitude began under Donald Trump, whose trade representative, Robert Lighthizer, wrote in an essay that ideal trade policy had to be about more than cheap goods and should prioritize domestic manufacturing and working-class jobs.

A new strategy paper released this week by the White House underscores the extent to which the Biden administration shares this view.

The China class will ensure it’s all bullshit.

We don’t need Ilhan Omar to ‘clarify’ her typically antisemitic, anti-American comments

House Democrats have asked Rep. Ilhan Omar to “clarify” her recent comments comparing Israel and the United States to Hamas and the Taliban. What a laugh — they must have missed the last few years of Omar’s antics, through which she has made her views abundantly clear.

Omar started this debacle by saying that “we must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity. We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban.”

“Mentally ill Canadian” convicted in terror probe lands in U.S. supermaximum security prison

A Canadian family and U.S. experts alike say a mentally ill man from Mississauga, Ont., who was convicted for his role in an online terror plot while a teenager shouldn’t be in a supermaximum security prison in Colorado.

Instead, they say he should be sent back to Canada where he can serve the remainder of his 40-year sentence and get the psychiatric help he needs.

Allah must love the mentally ill.

Here it comes: Biden team warning U.S. power grid is definitely subject to cyberattacks

Feckless Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, who last month laughed off the cyberattack that shut down the Colonial Pipeline by saying people with electric cars didn’t have to worry about it, is now claiming that the U.S. is subject to having its power grid disabled by foreign actors.

People Fleeing Collapsing Economies of Blue States Advise Those Who Remain: ‘Start Making Better Decisions on Who You Vote For’

According to the National Association of Realtors, an estimated 8.9 million people have relocated to Florida from states like New Jersey, New York, and California since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the economies of these states continue to crumble under the stress of continued lockdowns and other destructive policies, fleeing former residents offer advice to those who remain: “Start making better decisions on who you vote for.”

According to the website move.org, Florida was the number one relocation destination for Americans in 2020. New York and California took first and second place in the contest for being the states the most people chose to leave.

U.S. withdrawing Trump executive orders that sought to ban TikTok, WeChat

President Joe Biden is withdrawing a series of executive orders that sought to ban new downloads of WeChat and TikTok and ordering a new Commerce Department review of security concerns posed by those apps, the White House said Wednesday.

The administration of former President Donald Trump had attempted to block new users from downloading the apps and ban other technical transactions that Chinese-owned TikTok and WeChat both said would effectively block the apps’ use in the United States. The courts blocked those orders that never took effect.

Why a Judge Has Georgia Vote Fraud on His Mind: ‘Pristine’ Biden Ballots That Looked Xeroxed

When Fulton County, Georgia, poll manager Suzi Voyles sorted through a large stack of mail-in ballots last November, she noticed an alarmingly odd pattern of uniformity in the markings for Joseph R. Biden. One after another, the absentee votes contained perfectly filled-in ovals for Biden—except that each of the darkened bubbles featured an identical white void inside them in the shape of a tiny crescent, indicating they’d been marked with toner ink instead of a pen or pencil.

AOC condemns Kamala Harris for telling Guatemalan migrants not to come to US

On her first foreign trip as vice-president, Harris visited Guatemala on Monday. At a press conference with Guatemala’s president, Alejandro Giammattei, the former California senator spoke about investigating corruption and human trafficking in Central America, and described a future where Guatemalans could find “hope at home”.

But she also had a clear message that undocumented Guatemalan migrants would not find solace at the US border under the Biden administration.

“I want to be clear to folks in the region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border,” she said. “Do not come. Do not come.”

Later Monday, Oscasio-Cortez condemned Harris on Twitter, calling her comments “disappointing to see”.

Canada held secret U.S. talks in bid to free Kovrig, Spavor jailed in China

Canada’s ambassador to China spent three weeks in Washington in early April holding talks with senior American officials aimed at facilitating the release of two Canadians imprisoned in China.

Three sources told The Globe and Mail that Ambassador Dominic Barton’s confidential mission to Washington involved discussions about a possible U.S. deferred prosecution agreement for Huawei Technologies Co. chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou that could lead to freedom for Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor.

The bizarre British connection behind America’s biggest hoaxes

It’s becoming increasingly clear that America’s bureaucracies engaged in a cover-up about COVID’s origins. What’s also become clear is the fact that one of the main players in the entire COVID scandal is a British man, Peter Daszak. And I realized something when I thought about Daszak’s involvement: Beginning more than 20 years ago, the British have taken lead roles in three leftist lies that have been used to remake America: Climate change, the Russia hoax and, now, COVID’s development and its subsequent cover-up.

If No Islamophobic ‘Hate Crimes’ Exist, They Must Be Invented. The Next Target Is Southwest

If “hate crimes” targeting Muslims do not exist, they must be invented. They’re simply too politically useful to do without. And so it is that the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is aiding a Muslim woman, Fatima Altakrouri, who claims that Southwest would not allow her to sit in a plane’s exit row because she was wearing a hijab.
