A series of embarrassing incidents in recent days shows that while the left may control the media narrative, it’s not fooling Xi Jinping or Vladimir Putin into thinking President Joe Biden is strong.Biden had a beyond-friendly interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, former press secretary to President Bill Clinton, on March 16 in which he allowed Stephanopoulos to lure him into calling Russian President Vladimir Putin a “killer” with “no soul.” It would be one thing if there were some purpose behind Biden’s hostile utterance about his Russian counterpart, but it didn’t appear tied to any strategic foreign policy goal.Other than...

Our Chinese friends are eating our lunch, and we seem to constantly be looking for ways to make it easier for them to do so. The flagellants are practitioners of an extreme form of mortification of their own flesh by whipping it with various instruments. It was most notably a fourteenth-century movement within the Catholic Church. It served as a sort of self-inflicted penance for the practitioners-penance for sins actual and imagined. There is a Chinese word, baizou (pronounced "bye-tsaw"), which refers insultingly to educated western people who advocate for peace and equality only to satisfy their own feelings of...

Biden's China policy amounts to promising to 'work with allies,' but the American people deserve to know exactly what was accomplished by his administration at the Alaska summit.The Biden administration’s first high-level meeting with Communist China in Anchorage, Alaska, last week opened with a war of words, then closed with nothing meaningful to show in the end. Still, there are some critical takeaways from this important summit.1. Diplomacy Is Political Theater for Domestic AudiencesThe traditional understanding of diplomacy is that through dialogue and negotiations, countries seek to influence each other’s behaviors to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome while avoiding war....

At the start of the recent talks between senior US and Chinese diplomats in Alaska, the Chinese Foreign minister, Yang Jiechi, made uncharacteristically public belligerent statements. Yang proclaimed that the US did not come to the meeting from a “position of strength” in this first US-China meeting of the Biden Administration. According to a Tweet from Disclose TV: “China's FM Yang threatens ‘firm actions’ in response to ‘US interference’ on arrival for Alaska talks: US is the champion of cyberattacks; Black Americans are slaughtered in the US; US uses military might & financial supremacy to pressure countries.” This level of...

Joking about Joe Biden's recent fall on the stairs of Air Force One could inspire an assassination attempt, according to MSNBC analyst Malcolm Nance. Biden tripped up on the stairs while boarding Air Force One three times over the weekend, which spawned countless memes on social media.

Major left-leaning U.S. press outlets are largely avoiding mention of President Joe Biden's repeated stumbles as he boarded Air Force One, while many foreign publications are devoting prominent coverage to the incident. As of Friday afternoon, the homepages of MSNBC, CBS News, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and New York Times had no mention of Biden's stumbling incident earlier in the day at Joint Base Andrews. The news blackout was not strictly partisan, with the homepage of right-leaning One America News Network also omitting any mention of Biden's repeated tripping.

Tucker Carlson revealed on Friday that the Chinese have a special, disdainful term for Biden and America’s other White wokesters. On Thursday, during a meeting in Anchorage, China’s top diplomat and its Foreign Minister showed Secretary of State Tony Blinken (an empty suit) and national security adviser Jake Sullivan stunning disrespect. It was almost as if the Chinese knew that these are weak, self-loathing, confused men – and it turns out they did know. Tucker Carlson revealed on Friday that the Chinese have a word for Biden and the other White wokesters now in power. They call them “baizuo,” and...

9:45am: Wake up, lazily roll out of bed and do my bathroom business as I shake off a mild hangover. I put on an unbranded white T-shirt, a plaid lumberjack shirt over that, and skinny black jeans. As I get dressed, I have one hand on my latest iPhone to cruise my social media platforms – wouldn’t wanna miss an opportunity to school a Nazi in my mentions. To quench my thirst brought upon yesterday’s bacchanalia, I chug tepid tap water from a reused Fiji water bottle, while the kettle boils for my artisanal coffee. There is little better than...

If you look at any thread about Trump, Islam or immigration on a Chinese social media platform these days, it’s impossible to avoid encountering the term baizuo (白左), or literally, the ‘white left’. It first emerged about two years ago, and yet has quickly become one of the most popular derogatory descriptions for Chinese netizens to discredit their opponents in online debates. *snip* Although the emphasis varies, baizuo is used generally to describe those who “only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment” and “have no sense of real problems in the real world”; they are...

If you look at any thread about Trump, Islam or immigration on a Chinese social media platform these days, it’s impossible to avoid encountering the term baizuo, or literally, the ‘white left’. It first emerged about two years ago, and yet has quickly become one of the most popular derogatory descriptions for Chinese netizens to discredit their opponents in online debates. So what does ‘white left’ mean in the Chinese context, and what’s behind the rise of its (negative) popularity? It might not be an easy task to define the term, for as a social media buzzword and very often...
