Five establishment Republican senators will retire, Trump allies have a good chance of replacing them
So far, at least five federal Republican senators have announced that they will not run for re-election in next year’s election. U.S. media said the retirement of these establishment senators will open the door for Trump allies to take over these seats, while also further strengthening Trump’s influence in the Republican Party.
According to Fox News, Missouri Republican U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt (R) announced he will retire next year. Blunt becomes the fifth Republican senator to decide not to run for re-election in 2022.
Other Republican U.S. senators who have announced they will not run for re-election include Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Rob Portman of Ohio and Richard Shelby of Alabama. North Carolina’s Richard Burr, who was re-elected in 2016, said he would not run again in 2022. In addition, 87-year-old U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa (also known as Iowa) is also considering retirement.
Mike Biundo, a longtime Republican adviser and veteran of the 2016 Trump presidential campaign, told Fox News that the senators’ retirement would “certainly” allow Trump to potentially increase his influence over the Republican Party.
Although Trump has left the presidency, he still has strong influence over congressional Republicans. His polling numbers among Republican voters are still very high. Trump has agreed to help Republicans win back control of the House and Senate in the 2022 elections.
Trump is withholding support from Republican lawmakers who seek re-election in 2022 but vote for Trump’s impeachment in the House, or vote to try to convict him in the Senate. He instead supports Republican contenders who challenge those lawmakers.
Another senior Republican strategist said that the retirement of these Republican lawmakers “certainly opens the door for a new generation of Republican candidates.
This trend seems to be most evident in Ohio. There, Republicans are eager to replace Senator Portman. The state was won by Trump by 8 points in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. Two leading Republican candidates have announced their candidacies for the seat Portman left open. They are former state Republican Party Chairman Jane Timken and former Senate candidate Josh Mandel. Both have made their support for Trump a central part of their campaigns.
In announcing his candidacy, Timken emphasized, “As your senator, I will advance the Trump agenda without fear or hesitation.” And Mandel joined the campaign by emphasizing, “I’m going to Washington to fight for President Trump’s America First agenda.”
In Alabama, incumbent U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), a staunch Trump ally, is considering a Senate run. And Lynda Blanchard, who served as U.S. ambassador to Slovenia in the Trump Administration, has launched a campaign.
Iowa fires the first shot! Ending mass mail-in voting
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) signed a bill March 8 to end mass mail-in voting and to stop counting absentee ballots after Election Day.
“It is our responsibility to protect the integrity of every election,” she said in a statement. “This law strengthens uniformity by providing Iowa election officials with consistent provisions for Election Day, absentee voting, database maintenance and other clear appeal procedures for local county auditors.”
Reynolds added, “All of these additional measures increase transparency and accountability and give Iowans more confidence to vote.”
“The law also prohibits election officials from sending an absentee ballot request to a voter without requesting an absentee,” the statement said “The law will require that absentee ballots must be received before the close of voting on Election Day and that ballots must be delivered by the voter, a Family member, household member or designated janitor. “
U.S. Left Media Collaborates with CCP to Attack West; Former CIA Official Names Names and Shots
The U.S. leftist media has become a bullet for the Chinese Communist Party. In a March 7 editorial, the Wall Street Journal criticized the Communist Party’s use of leftist media rhetoric to attack Western interests.
Three members of the “Five Eyes Coalition” – Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia – recently joined forces to pressure the Chinese Communist Party. The Communist Party’s Global Times furiously claimed that the West has formed a “U.S.-centered, racist, mafia-style community.”

The Five Eyes Coalition is an intelligence alliance formed by five Anglophone countries under a U.K.-U.S. agreement to form an international intelligence-sharing group whose members include Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States.
According to the Global Times, the Five Eyes members “have a strong sense of civilizational superiority” and “the Trump administration is an extremely typical white supremacist administration,” while the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has a “strong sense of civilizational superiority. The boycott of the Five Eyes coalition “is a defense of diversity in the modern world.
The Wall Street Journal editorialized that the terms “white supremacy,” “diversity,” and “civilizational superiority” come directly from the leftist media in the United States, and that the editors of the Global Times They “apparently read the New York Times all the Time.
A 2014 social survey by the leftist Washington Post showed that 28.1 percent of U.S. media professionals identified themselves as Democrats and 7.1 percent as Republicans, a fourfold difference. The left is overwhelmingly present in the big newspapers and television media, with a clear leftward lean from media ownership to editorial and reporting tendencies.
Why is the media so left-leaning? The Epoch Times editorial, “The Devil Rules Our World,” says that one important reason is that in the 1960s the United States was influenced by communist thinking and a massive leftist radical social movement occurred, and those radical students later swung into the media, academia, upper class, government agencies, media, and the arts to seize the right to speak.
In addition to the leftward leanings of the U.S. intellectual and media communities themselves, the CCP has actively infiltrated the U.S. media. With large amounts of cash and the lure of the Chinese market, the CCP has bought up many media outlets that claim to have a “free press.
Helen Raleigh, a contributor to the conservative online magazine and podcast “The Federalist,” said, “You often see representatives of U.S. companies with financial ties to China, naturally becoming defenders of Communist policies and spreading the word. defenders of Chinese Communist Party policies and spreading Communist propaganda.”
Charles Faddis, a former CIA officer, wrote an article last January listing a number of leftist media outlets in the United States, including The New York Times, The Washington Post and CNN, and exposing their business interests in China.
Two of them are excerpted for you today.

Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim owns 17.4 percent of the company and has one-third of the voting power on the board. Slim has done significant business with Chinese companies, including huawei. Huawei is currently under U.S. sanctions for espionage and actions against U.S. national security.

In 2013, Amazon CEO and billionaire Jeff Bezos bought The Washington Post for $250 million. Bezos has direct and extensive ties to the Chinese market. Production of Amazon’s most popular products such as the Echo and Kindle is almost entirely carried out in Chinese factories. When you subscribe to the Washington Post, you get an advertising supplement called China Watch. The supplement is provided by China Daily, the official media outlet of the Chinese Communist Party.
Bipartisan Lawmakers Introduce Bill to Allow U.S. Citizens to Hold Foreign Governments Accountable for Claims of Cyberattacks
In response to cyberattacks supported by foreign governments, a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers has proposed legislation that would allow Americans to seek compensation from the foreign governments involved for losses from such attacks. Last week Microsoft Corp. said its email system was attacked by Hackers backed by the Chinese government. The Biden Administration is expected to establish a multi-agency task force to respond to the cyber intrusion.
On Monday (March 8), Democratic U.S. Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX) of Texas and his bipartisan colleagues introduced the Homeland and Cyber Threats Act (HACT Act). The bill would allow Americans to bring claims in federal or state court against foreign governments that launch or participate in cyber attacks on the United States.
Rep. Allred said, “Cyber attacks against American citizens are only going to increase, and Congress should provide American citizens with the tools they need to fight back against these foreign attacks.” “The purpose of this legislation is to give Americans the ability to hold foreign governments accountable for damage caused by cyberattacks.”
Republican U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman (R-MI), who co-sponsored the bill, said, “As we continue to respond to more and more cyberattacks, it is time for an important update to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act to ensure we are accountable for attacks on Americans by foreign countries and their agents. “
Last week, Microsoft Corp. said its e-mail server was attacked by hackers backed by the Chinese government. White House officials said about 30,000 U.S. users were affected by the attack, and about 250,000 worldwide.
CNN anchor wears underwear on camera, says he wants to “humanize” news
CNN TV anchor and chief media correspondent Brian Stelter went on air on March 7 wearing only his underwear underneath, while his co-star Wolf Blitzer also wore underwear on camera, the National Archives reported on Monday, March 8. The reason Stelter gave for this was to make his show more “humane”.

Before the broadcast, Stelter said, “I can go on CNN for about two minutes and talk to Blitzer about the blocking of Trump’s Twitter account,” Voice of Hope reported. CNN’s television screen then showed a full-body shot of Stetter in his underwear, while on the other side of the camera was Blitzer, who was also wearing only his underwear underneath.
The media commented that the CNN footage was “disgusting” and made the show “seem like a lingerie show. Critics also questioned, “Why would Stetter air this clip of him, filmed live without his pants on?”
Critics also said that although CNN’s hosts have tried to demonstrate the “humanity” of its broadcasts by wearing underwear on camera, its ratings are still at an all-time low.
U.S. oil prices rise experts: Biden policy or intensify price increases
As of Tuesday morning (March 9), the average U.S. gas price was $2.82 per gallon, up 34 cents from a month ago, according to Gas Buddy.
Jay R. Young, chief executive of Dallas-based oil and gas operator King Operating Corporation, told The Epoch Times in an e-mailed statement. “The national average oil price will likely reach $3 by Memorial Day and remain near that price for most of the summer.”
Young said, “Demand is recovering much faster than oil production levels, which is why oil prices continue to rise rapidly.” Biden signed an executive order Jan. 27 suspending the issuance of new oil and gas lease permits in the federal territory. In addition, Biden canceled the Archstone Pipeline (Keystone XL) project.
