China is still not an ally.

India’s development is the way forward. 

If Xi actually wants to establish his country as a leader in peace, he needs to champion non-proliferation and begin the process of denuclearization with every country in the world, including North Korea. Xi needs to make it real and not just a good show of good will intentions.

This summit occurred through months if not a year of talks between the two countries.

And, Joe is correct. Xi is a dictator. There are no free and open elections in China. Xi is in power without a challenge. He should prove his influence by demanding Russia leave Ukraine. Ukraine also needs additional funding for it's continued fight against ethnic cleansing and genocide.

U.S. President Joe Biden (click here) holds a bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Filoli Estate in Woodside, California.

Meeting with President Biden for the first time in a year (click here), China’s leader, Xi Jinping, reiterated his determination to unify with Taiwan, but stopped short of mentioning the potential use of force. He denounced what he called futile American efforts at containing China, but also acknowledged that U.S. tech restrictions had taken a toll.

And he broadcast that China had global ambitions for its influence — while also trying to reassure the world that those ambitions did not have to lead to conflict with the United States.

Mr. Xi’s message at the leaders’ summit in San Francisco, as depicted by official Chinese summaries, reflected his dual, at times contradictory, priorities during his trip to the United States, which many had hoped would help inject stability into the volatile bilateral relationship....

I told you so.

Media outlets around the world (click here) are showing dead and dying Palestinian babies in hospitals — but what they are not showing is who murdered these babies.

The answer is clear. American intelligence has now revealed that Hamas has built its command centers and its tunnels underneath hospitals. It has also revealed that Hamas has been stealing fuel intended for hospital generators....

Evacuation is paramount to Palestinian survival in Gaza. It is simply wrong to allow humanitarian aid into a war zone. This clearly demonstrates why Israel opposed such aid because it never completely makes it to the people that deserve to have it. Such aid prolongs the suffering as the terrorists become renewed with the supplies they take from the people. It is best to allow Israel to access all of the land it needs to access to remove the elements of these terrorist networks and end the siege.

Hamas put the Palestinians at risk with every element of their tunnels and occupation of the land. There are many casualties, but, Hamas designed it that way.

Where is Ismail Haniyeh? He is not the elected President of the Palestinian people, yet, he is sitting with a leader of a sovereign country that is known to fund terrorists.

Ismail Haniyeh knew of the tunnels, the funding from Iran, and the dangerous munitions under the al-Shifa hospital. Did he authorize the mass murder of Isrealis?

These are the people everyone should have stopped from their terrorist activities, but, nothing was done. The Palestinian people were human shields to this man. They were also human shields to Khamenei as the Iranian regime funded Hamas to do exactly what it did.

How much exposure does Khamenei have to the mass murders of the people of Israel by Hamas?

Why? Why the absolutely stupid and completely ungovernable ideology of turning the world religiously to Shia. It is pure craziness and based only in hate.

Israeli troops have struck the house (click here) of top Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Gaza. The Israeli Defence Forces shared a video today of fighter jets bombing a house, which they claim is Ismail Haniyeh's....

Hamas was afforded political dignity in hopes of bringing about peace. Ismail Haniyeh was hardly a moderate if he allowed and possibly encouraged such terrorist infrastructure and plans. Legitimizing terrorist networks does not work. It should never be allowed or tolerated again. Such attempts at diplomacy carry with it large numbers of causalities when the truth is revealed.

Tel Aviv - Hamas (click here), the Palestinian group that controls the Gaza Strip, said Saturday that it had chosen Ismail Haniyeh, a charismatic grassroots politician, as its new political chief, the latest move in an effort to refresh the militant Islamist group’s leadership and manifesto.

Haniyeh, seen as a relative moderate with close ties to Hamas’ military wing, will move from Gaza City to Hamas headquarters in Doha, Qatar, to take over from Khaled Meshaal, who has been responsible for the organization’s foreign relations and financing for the last 12 years.

The announcement caps several months of voting among Hamas’ far-flung members in Gaza, the West Bank, Israeli jails and abroad to select a replacement for Meshaal, who sought to step down....

George Santos is anti-American

George Santos is a stark example of how anyone within a democracy can assail it's basic principle of "one person, one vote," claim a federal office, carry out corruption and personal wealth and basically get away with it within the structure of the poorly protected US House of Representatives. 

This is not about removing the "Voter's Choice" in an election. This is about removing a liar from a seat of power within in the USA House of Representatives. It is astounding to realize how the US House of Representatives simply found an excuse to leave a cooperative vote for Republicans within it's chamber. Those that didn't vote to remove him for reasons of "voter choice" should be investigated ethically as well.

The excuse of leaving George Santos in a seat of power is purely corrupt. Santos is KNOWN to be guilty of a variety of both legal and ethics violations, yet, the weak and immoral Republican majority of the USA House chose to leave him in his seat for the purpose of his vote and not other reason. The bogus excuse that he was the people's choice is of itself a lie.

How does a voter choose when the entire reason he was appealing was an complete lie. That is not a voter's choice, that is however a false choice and a strong element of corruption. The USA House of Representatives practiced hubris and not governance. The Speaker should have made it clear to uphold the "one person, one vote" value system within the American democracy as it is necessary to remove Santos and allow another to have a special election if that what the people of New Jersey wanted.

Once again, the Republicans are awash with apathy and illegitimate purpose to allow Santos to maintain an office within the USA Government. He should be removed and the USA democracy protected from him.

Cowards ruled today in the USA House. They simply can't handle the truth and make it count. It is disgusting the extent corruption is allowed to exist.

The Rules Committee MUST address this episode of anti-Americanism by the GOP. To allow a manipulative person to occupy a seat of power within the federal government is definitely anti-American. All those voters that cast a ballot in good faith for George Santos are now the brunt of cowardly conduct by the entire USA House. They have no legitimate representative and that is sincerely anti-American.
