On Day 57, a timid-looking Secretary of State Antony Blinken “confronted” the CCP—flanked by a purple-haired staffer. China Bullies Biden’s Buddies. The U.S. and China held their first face-to-face meeting of the Biden presidency in Alaska on Thursday.

Video of a tense exchange between U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and CCP foreign affairs chief Yang Jiechi went viral online. Blinken, flanked by a woman with purple hair, raised concerns about China’s aggression toward the U.S., and Yang responded by pointing out human rights “challenges” in the United States, “such as Black Lives Matter.”

Blinken responded, “I have to tell you, what I am hearing is very different from what you described. I am hearing deep satisfaction that the United States is back, that we are reengaged with our allies and partners. I am also hearing deep concern about some of the actions your government has taken.”

Yang replied:

“I think we thought too well of the United States. We thought that the US side would follow the necessary diplomatic protocol. So for China it was necessary that we make our position clear. So let me say here that in front of the Chinese side the United States does not have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength.”

China has also accused U.S. officials of violating diplomatic protocol by speaking too long in opening remarks.

A Joint Address… Sort Of. There’s reportedly been a spree of demotions and resignations in the Biden-Harris White House of staffers who admitted to past marijuana use on SF-86 forms.

Some staff were led to believe that it would be overlooked during the extensive vetting process that all staff undergo during onboarding. The Daily Beast reports:

The policy has even affected staffers whose marijuana use was exclusive to one of the 14 states—and the District of Columbia—where cannabis is legal. Sources familiar with the matter also said a number of young staffers were either put on probation or canned because they revealed past marijuana use in an official document they filled out as part of the lengthy background check for a position in the Biden White House.

In some cases, staffers were informally told by transition higher-ups ahead of formally joining the administration that they would likely overlook some past marijuana use, only to be asked later to resign.

Under the last administration, the White House enforced restrictions on prospective hires who had recently used any marijuana, including delaying their start date by months, former White House staff confirm.

During the 2020 election cycle, then-candidate Kamala Harris joked about prior marijuana usage and expressed support for cannabis legalization. As a prosecutor in California, Harris oversaw nearly 2,000 cannabis-related convictions, resulting in a few dozen incarcerations.

White House Tallies Up The Misfires. On Day 57:

Biden referred to the vice president as “President Harris” in remarks on reaching the 100 million Coronavirus vaccinations benchmark. Psaki accidentally called the U.S. border surge “the crisis on the border”—and corrected it to “challenges on the border” moments later.

“Biden has said China isn’t a threat and has downplayed their ongoing campaigns to undermine the U.S. geopolitically, militarily and economically.

“China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man,” Biden said during an Iowa campaign stop last summer. “I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what? They’re not competition for us.” “The fact of the matter is we can do all we need to do without punishing anybody,” he continued.

Biden’s position on China is dangerous and not based in reality. For years the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been sending Chinese students to America’s top doctorate programs in order to gain access to university research labs. There, they steal intellectual property from the highest levels of U.S. science.

Now, we know China’s dangerous handling of viruses in its own labs has led to one of the most devastating and fastest economic destructions in global history.”

How China locked down internally for COVID-19, but pushed foreign travel

April 30, 2020, Economic Times

There is new evidence to show that China locked down all domestic traffic internally by end January 2020 but pushed to open foreign travel till end March.

Data from Tom Tom traffic index, a traffic location site that covers 416 cities across 57 countries show that as a result of this strategy, China, intentionally or otherwise, was able to lockdown its cities unknown to the world.

While this reduced the spread of the Corona virus within China, China’s aggressive foreign travel policy lead to a virus explosion worldwide. ...”

Sometimes I don’t know if I should laugh or cry.....

I see the humor, but then I look at my children and think of the future I am leaving them.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Have those “brilliant” hate-filled racist Obolo staffers all been identified yet?

[Vaduz]

If that’s not feral nothing is.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Good memory. Very similar results now.

Chinese diplomat to the other: "What's with the purple-haired chick?"

Other Chinese diplomat: "Never mind, this is Biden's administration"

First diplomat: "This is almost too easy!"

Actually, the most hatred is on the middle-aged white male faces!

“What a bunch of unserious losers”

Here’s the problem as I see it. Let’s say that President XYZ was a long time biker. He wore biker colors, had a wallet connected to his belt by a long chain, an unkempt beard, leather boots and a belt with lots of metal studs. Everyone he knew and moved into executive positions dresses similarly. They are all authentic bikers in their real life.

Now, let’s say the secretary of commerce, Snake, has to go to the Senate building to talk to a bunch of senators about a funding issue. Despite being a biker, he realizes that none of the senators are bikers. He really needs their cooperation. What does he do? You can bet, being an educated biker, he will get an aide to help him select clothing, get the right haircut and shoes and he may even have a few practice sessions with a consultant. The consultant may tell him such things as, “You know, Snake, that it’s unlikely that Senator Jones will accept your offer of a Bud Lite and the joint is a definite no. Also, slapping the Senator on the back would violate the traditional don’t-assault-a-senator rule. You may want to modify your body language a bit and not pound the table, as you are asking them for money, not robbing the place. Your use of, ‘Yo! Bro!’ should be ‘Good morning, Senator.’ And, while the suit looks nice, perhaps a shiny leather one inch wide belt instead of a chain with an actual lock for the buckle. Now, let’s take it from ‘Gimme the God-damned money.”

You just described John Fetterman, the Lt. Governor of Pennsylvania. Only slightly less lunatic that the Levine nutcase.

Why would they be so upset when they all probably went on to much higher paying jobs because of their connection to the Obama administration.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was peopled with all ex-Clinton administrators.

They’d laugh themselves to death... “See, our Comrades in Democrat party have done our job well for us”...
