Biden’s military deployment strategy still focuses on China, but it’s no longer “America First” but “We’re in this together.

The Voice of America reports that the Biden Administration is reassessing its global military deployments since taking office, establishing a China task force to address the growing challenge posed by the Chinese Communist Party. Some analysts believe that the Biden administration will continue to make the Indo-Pacific region a priority. More of an alliance and partner-based strategy of ‘we’re in this together’ rather than the Trump administration’s ‘America First.”
Last week, Secretary of State Blinken held a video conference with the foreign ministers of Japan, India and Australia, showing that the new Biden administration is still following the previous administration’s quadripartite meeting mechanism to address the major challenges in the Indo-Pacific region.
The report said that cooperation with allies is also the main tone of the Biden administration in foreign policy.
John Schaus, a senior fellow in the international security program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank, told VOA, “I think overall, the goal of ensuring a free and open Indo-Pacific will continue, although there may be changes in the formulation. The difference is that the Biden administration will focus more on building a multilateral, alliance- and partner-based strategy, so it’s more ‘we’re all in this together’ than ‘America first.'”
U.S.-based economist He Qinglian tweeted: It seems that the Biden administration doesn’t even understand what “America First” is. Trump’s America First means that in multilateral relations, he will not put the interests of the U.S. at the expense of other countries. In the military is always the United States first, this priority refers to the United States to assume the public responsibility to maintain international order, more money, more effort. If the military is “we all” bear the military expenditure, the United States to lead the world? People follow you for those standard leftist accessories?
Biden only granted partial relief, Texas requested full-scale aid
The governor of Texas requested federal relief for a major statewide disaster in Texas after massive winter storms caused widespread damage, but President Biden approved only some, not all, of the counties.
There are 254 counties in Texas, and only 77 were initially approved.
On the 22nd, 31 more counties were approved for relief. The White House said they are looking at more data on the impact of the storm.
Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) Director W. Nim Kidd hopes that all 254 counties will receive federal assistance. Kidd is confident that all Texas counties will meet the threshold set by the federal government.
Red Alert: Democrats Work to Block Conservative TV Channels
American Thinker reports that two influential Democratic House members have taken the first steps in the ongoing censorship debate to challenge the continued viability of conservative channels Newsmax, One America News Network (OANN) and Fox News on mainstream cable, satellite and streaming television platforms. availability.
The story, compiled by the North American Conservative Review, said Multichannel News reported on Feb. 22 under the headline “House Democrats Press Publishers to Justify Airing Fox News and Other News.
In a Feb. 22 letter to a dozen cable, satellite and streaming companies (Comcast, AT&T, Dish, Verizon, Roku) and seven others, California Democratic Representatives Anna Eshoo and Jerry McNerney asked them to answer seven intrusive daunting questions. and called on them to do a better job of combating disinformation – they were referring primarily to Fox, News Extreme and One America News Network – and questioned them about how they planned to respond.
The hearing is scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. ET on Feb. 24 and will be streamed live on the commission’s website.
The effort to essentially shred the First Amendment and shut down major news outlets that Democrats don’t like began with radical activists, including those ensconced in the well-funded leftist 501(c)(3) nonprofit Media Matters for America, the opinion piece said. “. These talking points were then quickly echoed repeatedly on CNN. Soon, influential swamp columnists at The New York Times and The Washington Post took up this anti-conservative media weapon. It has now been embraced by radical members of Congress, who have the power to introduce legislation that, if enacted, could be enforced under the name of law. The corresponding step – one already taken on the eve of Wednesday’s congressional hearing – is to intimidate the nation’s cable, satellite and streaming TV companies, challenging the rationale for their decision to continue airing conservative channels.
In response to these developments, Brendan Carr, the Republican member of the Federal Communications Commission, commented on the matter in a statement Monday: In response to House Democrats using their official letterhead to launch this investigation, I would say this: you demand to know the “ethical principles” that guide a private entity’s decision on what news to broadcast “, which is incompatible with the basic principles of free speech and a free press.
One party dictatorship! Democrats Push New Election Law, 16 State Governments and Multiple Agencies Backlash Strongly
Democrats in the U.S. Congress are pushing a new bill that would authorize the federal government to take away from state legislatures the power granted to them by the Constitution to regulate the election process. The move has already sparked strong criticism from officials in 16 state governments, as well as a backlash from many research institutions and experts. They argue that the Democrats are unconstitutionally controlling speech with this move and want to rule forever.
House Democrats cosponsored an election reform bill, the For the People Act of 2021 (H.R.1/S.1), on Feb. 22 in the name of anti-corruption. Key elements of the bill include: creating a nationwide automated voter registration system and an online voter registration system; allowing registration at the polls on polling day; mandating no-fault absentee ballots, which would require states to prohibit witness signatures and notarization on absentee ballots and accept mail-in ballots within 10 days of election day as long as they are postmarked on election day; restoring the right to vote for felons; and transferring the power to draw electoral districts from the state legislature to an independent commission; upgrade the District of Columbia to a state; and more. At the same Time, the bill would give the federal government the power to regulate paper ballots and election system vendors.
Republicans have called it an unconstitutional “federal takeover. Alabama Secretary of State John H. Merrill said in a statement Tuesday, Feb. 23, that he has joined with the secretaries of state of 15 other states to send a letter to bipartisan leaders in both houses of Congress asking them to reject the bill. They argue that the “one-size-fits-all” approach imposed by Congress strips states of their constitutional authority and further undermines the security and fairness of the election process.
An analysis by the Heritage Foundation, a U.S. think tank, concluded that the bill not only extends the worst parts of the election rule changes that occurred in the 2020 election to the entire U.S., but also centralizes the state-run election process at the federal level, which is “an unwise and unconstitutional mandate. “.
Chinese American scholar He Qinglian commented: This bill is actually a variation of the HR1 program, which has been partially implemented in Democratic states, including Pennsylvania and Georgia, before the 2020 election – the unconstitutional shift in rules midway through the race, as Justice Toms pointed out. This case passes, and the Democrats become the permanent ruling party.
Bill Gates Foundation, the pinnacle of hypocrisy, pushes “anti-racist math”
American schools are now becoming bastions of progressive indoctrination. The Oregon Department of Education is urging middle school teachers to use a “new math” curriculum that aims to “eliminate racism in math. The money behind this strategy is the famous Bill Gates Foundation.
At the bottom of A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction’s Home page, the only thank you to the project’s funder is the Bill Gates Foundation. The project has 25 educational partner organizations.
In fact, New York City is also promoting a “white identity index” that ranges from “white supremacist” (bad) to “white abolitionist” (good), with “There are eight rainbow transition bands, such as “white privileged” and “white sympathizers. A city public school principal handed out the indicator to all Parents, asking them to reflect on how “white” they are in order to “work together to achieve equality in our community. Officials from the New York City Department of Education confirmed this, saying that anti-racism and diversity are at the heart of New York City.
Christopher Rufo of the Discovery Institute wrote in a tweet, “This is the new language of public education.”
Over the past decade, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has given $140 million to some of the education groups behind so-called “Fair Math,” whose anti-racism resources are the source of new materials for the Oregon Department of Education.
In all, 25 education organizations have received funding from the Gates Foundation. The foundation’s website says its K-12 education grants “support schools’ efforts to improve student achievement,” especially for minority and low-income students.
All children should have good public schools, the article says. Public schools should be run by officials who are accountable to their constituents. Taxpayers still fund more than 99 percent of the cost of K-12 education. Private foundations should not be setting public policy for them. The operation of the Big Three foundation giants is bound to undermine democracy, just as it undermines public education.
Like most charities, the Gates Foundation gives 5% of its total assets each year to maintain its status as a charitable foundation, with the benefit of tax deductions and corporate PR, and invests the other 95%.
Philanthropic foundations look at philanthropy from an “investment” perspective: donor groups must make predetermined accomplishments, and the foundation will conduct regular evaluations as the basis for the next donation.
The article says that the essence of donations is not charity, but control and domination. And finally, the most worrying thing is that the foundation’s investment program has made a “mess” in public schools, and the damage may be irreparable.
French investigative journalist Lionel Astruc’s March 2019 investigative book, “The Bill Gates Foundation, the ultimate hypocritical institution,” co-authored by several investigative journalists, describes how Bill Gates’ massive tax avoidance policies allowed him to avoid paying billions of dollars in taxes, and how the Gates Foundation’s investment program led to its ultimate It also shows how the Gates Foundation’s investment program has led to the ultimate goal of not only failing to reduce the gap between rich and poor, but, on the contrary, is widening it.
