Biden is a puppet? Republican lawmakers have criticized White House Chief of Staff John Cornyn for “draping the curtain” and Biden for not taking full power. How many people are behind Biden, and how many can you guess?
Biden’s administration has been beaten! Iran rejects U.S. olive branch in nuclear talks, White House says disappointed but willing to wait.
Democrats follow the example of the Chinese Communist Party? U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Iowa) says the left is trying to rig elections and build a one-party state.
The former U.S. trade representative revealed three major evils of the Chinese Communist Party’s failure to adhere to international norms, including negotiation traps that have left some negotiations unresolved for 20 years, as well as Trump‘s counterattack and proposals for future responses.
Biden not fully in charge, White House chief of staff Corleone “draped over”?
News site The Hills reports that White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain has been criticized by several Republican members of Congress for “dictating the course of government” and has been labeled as a “dictator. Prime Minister Klain” (Prime Minister Klain), a sarcastic reference to Klain as the actual person in power.

The Senate Republican Whip, South Dakota U.S. Senator John Thune, pointed out that from the mouth of Republican members of Congress who had attended the meeting, Corleone was actually “like the one in the drapery”. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), an aide, described Corleone as “Prime Minister Corleone.
The Republican Party says Biden is not in full power, but is really in charge of Corleone, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Nancy Pelosi), and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (Charles Schumer).
In early February, he led 10 Republican senators to consult with Biden at the White House, said Senator Susan Collins of Maine, who said Biden was now being pinned down by Schumer and Corleone and could not move. Some Republicans also pointed out that Polosi is pushing Biden in an increasingly left-leaning direction.
Collins said, “The problem is that what seems like a constructive dialogue is being beaten back by Democratic congressional leaders.”
Collins noted that any progress Biden made in his Feb. 1 consultations with Republican senators was met with Corleone pulling the plug. She said that Corleone, who was standing at the back of the room throughout the meeting, kept shaking his head, “and it was not comforting to see him behave that way.”
Iran rejects nuclear talks, Biden Administration says disappointed but willing to wait
An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said Sunday (28) that the country is not ripe for informal nuclear talks with the United States and other world powers and has refused to negotiate. The White House expressed disappointment with Iran’s response, but said it remains willing to continue to approach Tehran.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said Iran will not renegotiate the Iran nuclear deal and reiterated Iran’s long-standing insistence that the U.S. lift sanctions first. “The U.S. position and behavior has not changed.”
A White House spokesman said Sunday that “while we are disappointed by Iran’s response, we remain prepared to re-engage in meaningful diplomacy to achieve a mutual return to compliance with the nuclear deal commitments.”
The White House spokesman added, “We will consult with our ‘5P+1’ partners to find the best solution.” The “5P+1” refers to the six countries involved in the Iran nuclear issue, including the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, namely China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States, plus Germany.
The Biden administration has previously said it wants to resume the nuclear deal, but will not suspend sanctions against Tehran until it returns to compliance. Iran, for its part, insists that it will not negotiate until after the U.S. sanctions are lifted. The main sticking point for both sides is the sequencing of those moves.
Five Republican lawmakers sent a letter to Biden on Friday, hoping for bipartisan consultations on the Iranian nuclear issue.
The lawmakers noted that, first, the United States needs a comprehensive strategy that incorporates all instruments of national power. Any negotiations with Iran should be combined with efforts to expand the Abraham Accords, ensure sufficient U.S. deterrence in the region, continue to build partnerships to address the Iranian threat, support reforms that strengthen regional sovereignty, and explore building around like-minded partners. multilateral security deployments.
Second, the United States should not rejoin the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The deadlines set in the original agreement were too short and are now inapplicable. Any future agreement must include all prohibitions and ensure that they are long enough to ensure that Iran does not use these tools to threaten its neighbors.
Third, the scope of any agreement with Iran must address all Iranian behavior, including regional terrorism, ballistic missiles and the detention of U.S. nationals.
Fourth, instead of succumbing to artificial urgency or deadlines, the United States should adopt a prudent and thoughtful approach.
Fifth, the Biden administration must engage in extensive formal consultations with Congress, Israel, and Gulf partners.
Sixth, under no circumstances should the United States agree to any financial relief for Iran, which is a prerequisite for negotiations to take place.
Rep. Biggs: Left Attempts to Rig Elections to Build One-Party State
Arizona Republican U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs, writing on FoxNews.com Sunday (Feb. 28), said the left wing of the Democratic Party is trying to pass legislation to permanently control elections in order to make the United States a one-party state and silence the opposition.

While the Biden administration is as busy as beavers trying to doom American jobs by canceling the Keystone pipeline project, then opening the southern border and allowing thousands of people a day to enter our country without vetting or doing COVID (Communist Chinese Virus) testing, the Biden administration and fellow Democrats in Congress remain focused on their main goal: nationalizing American elections.
How do you feel about the fact that our local, state and federal elections were once always valid, honest, transparent and fair, and now the Washington, D.C. establishment is taking them over? What about a law that prohibits certifying voter ID or giving taxpayer money to politicians?
The Democrats in Washington, D.C., think these are good ideas. They want to make America a one-party state. They want to silence opposition and dissidents. They want to make elections irrelevant. They want all power and control to go to the Democrats and Washington, DC.
They believe that leftists are authoritarians with a tyranny gene and that stuffing our country with unskilled workers from underdeveloped countries will provide votes for the Democrats. And House Speaker Pelosi has introduced bills that favor the Democratic goal of preventing Republicans from winning elections.
The first Democratic-sponsored bill, HR1, aimed at giving Democratic politicians control of elections after gaining control of the House in 2019, was overturned by Senate Republicans, then led by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
The first bill introduced by Democrats in 2021 had a similar intent of power and control.
Congress has done little except try to impeach an outgoing President Trump and watch President Biden run the country by executive order. Democrats, however, are focusing on taking over the electoral apparatus.
In addition to giving power in the swamp to a party that gives taxpayer money to politicians and laws that prevent the use of certified voter ID, Democrats would allow ballot harvesting and mandatory mail-in voting nationwide. Democrats are so obsessed with power that they want to legalize election fraud.
If that’s not enough, then they want to be able to register to vote at the age of 16, as well as felons in prison (don’t worry, they want everyone out) and illegal immigrants to be able to vote as well. What could be more ridiculous than that?
Despite the doubts of most people in America about the honesty of elections, the Democrats want to make sure we never have honest elections again. They want to go down a dubious path, and if we don’t stop it immediately, it will become increasingly difficult to go back down a better path that restores trust in American elections.
Americans must speak out loudly and reach out to members of Congress to urge them to defeat HR1. They must also urge the media to listen to the voice of the people. State legislatures and attorneys general must voice their concerns and be prepared to prosecute the election fraud that is going to take America to purgatory.
As we focus on the Biden administration and its congressional colleagues’ attempts to change our American dream, be wary of their deep-seated goal of maintaining their power by controlling elections. We need to fight for electoral integrity.
Former U.S. Trade Representative Exposes Three Vices of Chinese Communist Party’s Failure to Adhere to International Norms
Dennis Shea, former Deputy U.S. Trade Representative and former U.S. Ambassador to the World Trade Organization (WTO), recently wrote an article in The Hill exposing three major evils of the Chinese Communist Party’s failure to abide by international norms and broken promises. He praised the efforts of the U.S., Europe and Japan to establish trilateral cooperation to fight the Communist Party, but also urged the international community to go beyond WTO reform and develop a broader strategy to curb the challenges and threats posed to the world by the Chinese Communist Party’s misdeeds.
Shea’s article is titled “The U.S. and Europe Must Go Beyond the WTO to Address China’s (CCP) Challenges. He argues that the U.S. and Europe cannot put all their hopes on WTO reform when dealing with the unfair trade practices of the Chinese Communist Party. He reminded Europe and the United States of the need to recognize the CCP’s non-compliance with international norms in three areas as they work together to confront the CCP.
Pictured is Dennis Shea, former U.S. Ambassador to the WTO.
First, the Chinese Communist Party has repeatedly broken its promises.
Shea argues that past international trade rules have struggled to meet the economic challenges posed by the CCP because the CCP has never delivered on its promises.
He cited numerous examples of the CCP’s broken promises, such as: the CCP’s failure to comply with the World health Organization (WHO) International Health Regulations’ requirement to report health crises in a timely manner, which led to a global pandemic of the CCP virus (COVID-19); the CCP’s terrorist actions against the Uighurs in Xinjiang, which broke its promise in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the CCP’s imposition of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, which broke its promise in the Sino-British Joint Declaration, which guarantees a high degree of autonomy for Hong Kong; and the CCP’s expansion of its power in the South China Sea, in violation of its commitments under the Law of the Sea Treaty.
Shea said, “We are seeing this pattern of behavior (by the CCP) repeated in international trade.” He said the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative has documented each of these vicious acts by the Chinese Communist Party.
Because of the general lack of transparency in the CCP’s international trade policies and practices, Shea found the EU’s proposal to reinvigorate the trilateral system of cooperation between the U.S., Japan and Europe to develop new trade rules to curb the CCP’s economic penetration “heartening. But he also warned the United States, Japan and Europe, can not rely only on the trilateral cooperation system or rely only on reform of the WTO to deal with the Chinese Communist Party. He said, “If you put all your hopes on the WTO, you are likely to play right into the hands of the Communist Party.”
Second, the CCP uses trade as a geopolitical bargaining chip.
Another act of non-compliance with international norms, Shea noted, is that the CCP uses trade as a geopolitical bargaining chip to force other countries into line by kidnapping trade.
As an example, he said that because Australia requested an independent investigation into the origins of the CCP’s viral pandemic, the CCP immediately retaliated against Australian exports. “This is a clear violation of WTO rules.” In addition, Japan, South Korea and the Philippines have all suffered similar trade retaliation from the Chinese Communist Party.
Shea also mentioned Taiwan. A recent example, he said, is that on Feb. 26, Chinese Communist Party customs refused to continue importing Taiwan pineapples without advance warning, citing the presence of pests in Taiwan pineapples. This is yet another line of trade retaliation against Taiwan by the CCP, which is safely inconsistent with international norms and “weaponizes trade goods and uses them as a means of retaliation for political gain.”
Third, the Chinese Communist Party has repeatedly used negotiations to set traps for the United States.
The third vice of the CCP’s non-compliance with international norms mentioned by Shea is that the CCP has often used negotiations to set traps for the United States and other countries. He mentioned that, as former Deputy National Security Advisor Matt Pottinger cautioned the Biden administration on Feb. 3, he hopes the United States will not fall into the CCP’s negotiation trap again.
“For the United States, we need to put pressure on the Chinese (Communist) state to resolve as quickly as possible those things that the Chinese (Communist) state is doing that are harmful to our national security, prosperity and democracy,” Bomen said. “Don’t fall into the trap that Beijing has set Time and time again, which is to try to lure the United States into long-term, formal mid-level negotiations.”
Shea said not to expect negotiations with the Chinese Communist Party to be completed quickly, and that “the Communist Party is very good at adopting a delaying policy when it comes to negotiations.” He argued that one strategy the Trump Administration has used to successfully deal with the CCP is to not allow the CCP to stretch out negotiations for too long. He cited examples from the time the CCP once took 19 years to negotiate limits on fishing subsidies; in the Boeing-Airbus subsidy dispute, the CCP also negotiated with the WTO for 16 years before settling the issue. He believes this is unworkable.
He also spoke of Trump Administration Trade Representative Lighthizer, who had noted that the U.S. had been caught in the Chinese Communist Party’s negotiating trap, delaying resolution on many issues for 20 years while “the U.S. trade deficit with China and Chinese (Communist) intellectual property rights violations against the United States escalated during that time.
Shea concluded by calling on the U.S. and the EU to work together to address the CCP and pressure it to end its bad behavior by holding it to the same standards. He argued that the EU should change its overly cautious attitude toward the CCP at the WTO and act jointly with the US. He proposed that the U.S. and EU should: jointly impose sanctions on Chinese companies engaging in predatory or illegal practices; establish common countermeasures in response to retaliatory trade actions by the CCP; work together to improve supply chain resilience for key products; jointly develop technical standards for future dominant industries; and coordinate the development of tariff policies.
