Hong Kong's Warning from Washington Should Mean No More WTO Special
Treatment
By Kenneth Rapoza, Industry Analyst for the Coalition for a Prosperous America
The Biden Administration just sent another warning shot to
American business. This time it wasn't to those doing business in Xinjiang, the
infamous home of Muslim prison camps; it was to those doing business with, and
in, Hong Kong, citing reputational risk, sanctions risk, and other headaches
now that Hong Kong is almost fully part of China. Worth noting - thanks to
globalist organizations like the World Trade Organization - Hong Kong is able
to bid for U.S. government contracts, a total China backdoor that would allow a
Chinese company to bid for building a bridge, a port, an interstate, on equal
footing with a bidding firm in Kansas. I can explain how that works, and
why it is time Hong Kong is treated no differently in the eyes of Washington
than Shanghai and Beijing. [more...]
WH Collusion with Big Tech
By Patrick Wood
Last week, the Biden administration admitted to conspiring and
colluding with social media giant Facebook to monitor, surveil, and, when
necessary, suppress posts on the platform that the administration considers to
be "disinformation" regarding the Wuhan Coronavirus, the rapidly
spreading Delta variant, and the government's attempt to coerce Americans into
receiving the experimental Covid-19 vaccine. "We're flagging problematic
posts for Facebook that spreads misinformation," White House Press
Secretary Jen Psaki announced at Thursday's press briefing. "Facebook
needs to move more quickly to remove harmful, violative (sic) posts." [more...]
The Most Powerful Woman in D.C. is Actually the Weakest
Poll numbers show that Kamala remains unpopular and
administration officials keep leaking damaging materials about her to a media
that appears curiously eager to run with them. The campaign is the work of
Biden’s allies who have calculated that the more they weaken Kamala, the less
likely their boss will face pressure to step down on her behalf. Kamala Harris
went from embodying the woke cultural moment as the first black woman in the
White House to recapitulating her humiliating primary race in which she raised $36
million and dropped out without even trying to compete in a single primary
election while blaming racism. Biden made a pledge to pick a black woman for
the second spot. His advisors chose a political nemesis whom he had beaten
before, not because she was strong, but because she was weak. [more...]
Conservatives in Name Only
By Robert Curry, Author of Reclaiming Common Sense
"RINO" - Republican in Name Only - is one of the more
useful terms we have in our contemporary political lexicon. A RINO is a person
who claims to be a Republican yet often, or even as often as politically possible,
votes with the Democrats. We use this term to clarify a basic
reality of American party politics. Hitchhiking on the success of "RINO,"
let's consider "CINO" - Conservative in Name Only. An American who
claims to be a conservative and yet rejects the founders is a CINO. Examples
are easy to find. [more...]
Critical Race Theory's Upside-Down History
There are some things we should all be able to agree upon when
considering a curriculum for schools. First, we'd surely want it to be based on
ideas and facts that are solid and settled, not the disputed theories of a
fringe sect. Second, it shouldn't be politically partisan, because nobody
should want children to be pawns in political battles. And third, we'd want it
not to stir up animosity - especially racial animosity - setting different
groups of children against each other. Yet the program that the federal
education department wants to promote and the model ethnic studies curriculum
that California's state board of education has just approved violate all three
of these simple principles. The critical race theory (CRT) that is their
inspiration is so far from being consensus settled knowledge, so bitterly
partisan, and so divisive, that several states are banning it from their
schools. Read Prof. Ellis's latest book: The Breakdown of Higher Education:
How It Happened, the Damage It Does, and What Can Be Done. [more...]
Why God is Still the Best Scientific Theory to Explain our Life
on Earth
By Stephen C. Meyer, University of Cambridge-trained philosopher of science and New York Times bestselling author
Can aliens explain both the origin of life and the
fine tuning? Probably not. Explaining both these mysteries
requires an intelligence who can act within the universe (to produce the code
necessary to life) and also act on the universe as a whole from the beginning
(to establish its finely tuned structure). Believers in this kind of
intelligence greatly outnumber believers in alien astronauts. They have long
called this intelligence behind life and the universe by a different name. They
call it God. Read Stephen's latest book: Return of the GOD Hypothesis: Three Discoveries that
Reveal the Mind Behind the Universe. [more...]
