As Bob Gates said, Joe Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”
Now he’s surrounding himself with panda huggers who will only reinforce his instincts to go soft on China.
John Kerry will jet off to Beijing in pursuit of a climate accord with the world’s biggest polluter, the Chinese Communist Party. If Xi Jinping plays along, he’ll demand concessions. And we know what that means: more shuttered factories in the U.S., more hot air from Beijing.
What else will Biden, Kerry, & Blinken give away to “smooth relations” with Beijing? Will they stop efforts to arrest Chinese spies on our campuses? Rescue China’s electronic surveillance company, Huawei? Weaken export controls? Delay arms sales to Taiwan?...
...Reduce U.S naval operations in the South China Sea? Prohibit our military commanders from speaking frankly about the PLA? Halt the development of U.S. intermediate-range missiles for deployment to the Pacific?
It’s all on the table.
The CCP just threatened our ally Australia with a long list of demands. Expect a similar list to be presented to Biden in the coming weeks. smh.com.au/world/asia/if-…
America will be in deep trouble if the same officials who oversaw the Obama/Biden administration’s disastrous China policy enter office and roll back all of the progress made against Beijing over the past four years.

Too many Arkansans are struggling to pay their prescription drug costs. Since 2014, the cost of prescription drugs has risen by 33%—faster than any other medical service.
It’s expensive for a pharmaceutical company to bring a new drug to market, and our system needs to encourage research and development. This pandemic is a reminder of the need for innovation.
AG Barr delivered a thoughtful speech on the importance of political accountability in the criminal-justice system at @Hillsdale, which the media is now completely distorting.
The AG has been accused of “attacking” career prosecutors in this speech. He wasn’t. He was making the point that DOJ is a chain-of-command institution. It cannot function with thousands of politically unaccountable line prosecutors setting their own individual policies.
We’ve all seen what happens when overzealous, unaccountable prosecutors use their positions to hound and harass their enemies. Just ask General Flynn. It’s the job of every prosecutor to prevent such gross miscarriages of justice.
Disney is addicted to Chinese cash and will do just about anything to please the Communist Party. Disney even thanked the CCP thugs who are locking up people in concentration camps.
This is evil behavior from a once-great American company.
Sadly, this isn’t the first time Disney has carried water for Chinese Communists. Disney’s CEO said speaking up for Hong Kongers being crushed by the CCP would be “a big mistake.” I’ll bet Beijing was pleased to hear that.
Disney also owns ESPN, which has toed the Party line on everything from Hong Kong protests to the CCP’s illegal land claims in the South China Sea and Tibet.
Somehow, I don’t think these are all coincidences.
Nancy Pelosi’s 1,800-page virus “relief” bill is yet another wish list for liberal activists and donors. Here are just a few of the absurd provisions Democrats want to waste money on in the middle of a pandemic:
Pelosi’s bill would give get-out-of-jail free cards to every federal prisoner with asthma or diabetes or who is over age 50.
The Democrats also want to force states to allow vote by mail—but would *prohibit* states from requiring photo ID, notarization, or witness signatures to send or receive mail-in ballots. This is the perfect storm for voter fraud.
