Regardless, China-Russia relations grew more strained than outsiders might imagine, with Russia finally taking a big gamble: It would drop an informational bomb on Beijing. The subject of that information was then Foreign Minister Qin, who had been tapped for the post by Xi. It's easy to see what might have motivated Russia. Being China's top diplomat, Qin would have been the person responsible for sending the Chinese delegation to Ukraine. Russia labeled Qin as pro-U.S. as he had served as ambassador to the U.S. for a short period before being tapped as foreign minister. So it "passed on internal...

Communist Party of China (CCP) General Secretary Xi Jinping is now starkly aware that he is facing the end of his rule, and has turned to US Pres. Joe Biden to save him. Specific reports are emerging as to the driving forces which made Xi act, in seeming desperation, to kowtow to US Pres.

The POTUS account on X claims that President Biden is doing everything he can to get control of the fentanyl crisis: Deaths from fentanyl are an American tragedy that requires global action. I’m committed to doing everything I can to control this crisis – from expanding prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery, to working with Chinese, Mexican, and Canadian partners to tackle this. — President Biden (@POTUS) November 21, 2023 It's laughable that the Biden White House really expects people to believe they're doing "everything they can," as Monica Crowley noted: You just kissed the ass of Xi Jinping, who...

Gordon Chang, a senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute, claimed Beijing was facing a number of crises and could turn to conflict to alleviate the pressures. He told GB News: “I think that the problems that we see in China are worse than people perceive. I don't think Xi Jinping has solutions to them or I should say more precisely, his solutions are making problems worse. So I do see a failure of the communist regime.” Chang highlighted how company debt defaults,...

Anchor Martha Raddatz said, “I know it annoys you when people look at the city and say it’s either dangerous or crime-ridden or drugs are a huge problem, but you’ve got your own citizens saying the same thing.

“Real Time” host Bill Maher connected the dots between the Democrats’ abrupt clean-up of San Francisco ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit and former President Donald Trump’s potential election victory in 2024.

Ok. I hope this doesnt get pulled. I'm struggling to be civil here...again...at the insanity of this biden administration-driven solution to a very real and tragic problem/crisis all due to the unsecured southern US border.

No, lets not address the actual real problem thats happening at the border. That would defeat the ultimate purpose of destroying the moral institutions of the United States of America.
