    Xiden??? Really that is weak.

    Left wing states.? I am sorry I failed to notice any political color notice on the aid and Red states like Texas and I don't have water Mississippi are much larger hangers on to the federal tit than blue states.

    "Could not run their governments" Oh like Texas?
    It's telling that the right has no real criticisms of Biden's policies, just wild claims of communist conspiracies, calling him "Xiden", and seething envy of prosperous blue states. It really puts into perspective what conservatism is all about.

    They don't really care about the nation or it's people. They just want to "win". They are in every sense of the term unfit for leadership.

    Washington bureaucrats under Biden have now been instructed to beg China for help in an effort to 'reset' the relationship after Trumps' failed trade war against China.

    Specifically, Biden needs China to help fund the 1.9 trillion dollar coronavirus relief and the trillions of dollars more infrastructure bill.

    Without China, americans will have to pay for bread with wheelbarrows of benjamins.

    Next week, white americans will kowtow to the Chinese emissaries in Anchorage.

    Odd are you sure you know how that word works. Seeing as Biden will have just returned from a trip to repair the damage Trump did relations with key Pacific allies and will be in Alaska. Lets see let left tariffs in place and confirmed yes they (his admin) see situation in Xinjiang as genocide, re affirmed the same basic differences on IP, etc... maybe you need to reconsider you word choice.

    As I read you are taking that out of context.

    "Mr Biden replied, “Well, there will be repercussions for China, and he knows that. What I’m doing is making clear that we are going to reassert our role as spokespersons for human rights at the UN and other agencies that have an impact on their attitudes. China is trying very hard to become the world leader, and to get that moniker and to be able to do that, they have to gain the confidence of other countries. And as long as they are engaged in activity that is contrary to basic human rights, it’s gonna be hard for them to do that.”"

    Your short quote is I think misleading. What he was trying to say was that China's policy was following from its its consensus view on how China should act. That is not not easy to alter particularity in a a fellow great power.

    A consensus view ie different cultural norms. Though that should be considered racist, Chinese cultural thinks genocide is okay.

    “I point out to him no American president can be sustained as a president if he doesn’t reflect the values of the United States, and so the idea I’m not going to speak out against what he’s doing in Hong Kong, what he’s doing with the Uighurs in western mountains of China, and Taiwan, trying to end the One China policy by making it forceful … I said, and, by the, he said, he – he gets it. Culturally there are different norms that each country and their leaders are expected to follow.”

    It is just the socialist norm.

    2020 elections: Why Joe Biden's childcare plan doesn't go far ...
    With his $775 billion childcare plan, Joe Biden has run headlong into history—reigniting a conversation about family support that the U.S. effectively abandoned almost 50 years ago. Pairing a guaranteed income with universal childcare is the most obvious way to lift these kids out of poverty and enable their parents to build careers and fuller, better-educated lives for themselves and the next generation.
    From a daily Portuguese newpaper, The Público ( The paper was awarded the European Newspaper of the Year in the category of nationwide newspapers by European Newspapers Congress in 2014)
    “Why can’t we copy Joe Biden's guaranteed income for children? It’s a revolution of public policy for children”. - E se copiássemos o rendimento garantido para crianças de Joe Biden?

    Why not? as everyone knows, the Socialist Party is the ruling party in this country. According the the populist far-right, America is passing through socialism on way to comunism.

    Denial isn't just a river in Egypt;

    White America needs Chinese money to survive; in typical anglo style, they hope to use gunboat diplomacy to get what they want and they are getting more desperate; white america desperately needs Chinese purchasing of Treasuries to fund the debt which is projected to grow to 102% of GDP.

    Hell, look at the recent announcements of the Quad; nothing was said of China, nor of security; but a hell of a lot of the language that China favours, words like "inclusivity" and "community". The White supremacists in Washington have been brought to heel and humbled, as the Indians have been humbled by the might of the Chinese Dragon.

    Even so, die hard white supremacists in Washington still believe it's 1995 and that they can still contain China, despite the fact that not even the EU wants to sign onto their white supremacist alliance. Back in the day, polities used to have to demonstrate their commitment to peace with the heads of the War Party as gesture of good faith. Pity such traditions have fallen out of favour.

    Kinda funny how despite all his talk about forming a coalition of allies to deal with China "from a position of strength", Biden's people are forced to hurriedly speak to China alone from a position of desperation and haste. Guess the EU turned down the chance to ditch the CAI in favour of white solidarity.
    Last week's Treasury auction probably didn't go too well for white america.

    Your need to devalue others to prop up China speaks volumes. Such insecurity points to a deep-seated sense of shame and inadequacy on a national level. Deep down, China doesn't believe it can ever measure up to the West after being repeatedly humiliated and emasculated by foreign powers for hundreds of years, a memory that has become part of their national psyche. Why else would they care what we 'inferior' Westerners think?

    Back on topic:

    Biden, leaders of India, Japan, Australia commit to 'free, open, secure and prosperous' Indo-Pacific in joint op-ed

    President Biden joined the leaders of India, Japan and Australia in committing to a “free, open, secure and prosperous” Indo-Pacific region in a Washington Post op-ed published Saturday.
    Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison teamed up with Biden in a vow to invest in the “region in need” amid the climate crisis, coronavirus pandemic and other issues confronting the zone.
    The leaders pointed to the 2004 tsunami that struck the area, prompting the four democratic countries, called “the Quad,” to work together for the first time to respond to the disaster.
    “Now, in this new age of interconnection and opportunity throughout the Indo-Pacific, we are again summoned to act together in support of a region in need,” the countries’ leaders wrote.
    The four leaders expressed their goals to obtain an “accessible and dynamic” Indo-Pacific region that promotes the “freedom of navigation,” “peaceful resolution of disputes” and the ability for all countries “to make their own political choices, free from coercion.” They noted the ideal vision has “increasingly been tested” in recent years.
    Biden, Modi, Suga and Morrison pledged to coordinate to enhance the Paris climate agreement and climate goals around the globe and to resolve the coronavirus pandemic through ensuring the accessibility of vaccines.

    Looks like the US is back on duty as pacific cop instead of taking selfies with chubby murderers.

    The upside will be Australia might get some support with the current trade skirmishes with China, but the downside will probably be more support for US companies eroding our sovereignty.

    The above is a classic case of projection, after all it was not anglo america that innovated 5G or TikTok, but rather, Anglo Americans who tried to steal Tiktok and the patents for 5G. So much for white anglo innovation.

    But this behaviour is typical of the anglo power structure since it was observed during obama's years when the PRISM and Snowden revelations came about, that the US intelligence services via Tailored Access Operations frequently conduct industrial espionage to steal foreign IP to benefit the american 1%ers. Biden would have even tacitly approved of such measures.

    Not a chance, where was America to buy up our excess wine and beef and lobsters?

    In fact it was American companies eating up Australian market share in China, profiting from the demise and misfortune of australian companies. You didn't see Anglo white solidarity, no- you saw anglo white americans behaving like pirates and stealing australian market share in the Chinese market. Anglo Americans instigated this trade war, but it's Australian workers and farmers who suffer. Need i remind you that farmer suicides in Australia are at record highs?
    And now i hear French winemakers are going to buy Treasury Wines, makers of Penfolds, an aussie homegrown Champion.

    Apparently it's really easy to get white australians to compromise the national interest: just tell them it's to fight big bad china and they'll sell the farm to foreign America corps; effectively white americans get to profit.

    Puppet King Xiden denies responsibility for the border crisis, but the facts say otherwise. Prospective illegal immigrants are claiming that Xiden invited them and are seen even wearing Xiden t-shirts. Personally, I wonder where they got the $9,000.00 dollars to pay the coyotes who brought them here:

    https://www.foxnews.com/world/migran...en-promised-us

    People are also asking why these people are being released into our population without being tested for coronavirus when sample testing revealed that at least 25% were testing positive for he virus.

You're looking at the Japanification of the US, a lost decade or more over the next 10 years which your leaders are going to try to prevent with a world war. No wonder americans are trying to emigrate outside of the US.

    Not enough, apparently. Bond yields spiked up 2 weeks ago, leading to a collapse in the share market; yields wouldn't have needed to increase were it not for a lack of demand. More importantly, the white anglo american regime had to fast track a meeting with the Chinese initially planned in April. Biden's admin. knows the USG needs funding and China aint' gonna rescue them like they did back in '08.

    Billionaire Ray Dalio (are you a billionaire, by any chance?) had this to say:
    [COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75)]As part of this cycle there is the emergence of the currency and capital markets of the rising and competing empire. Consistent with this classic cycle there is now a shifting from US bonds to Chinese bonds going on. Chinese bond holdings held by international investors are rising fast, though they are now only about 6% of allocations in global portfolios.[/COLOR]
    Source: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-w...hen-ray-dalio/

    Ordinarily, capital would be flowing into US Treasuries as a safe haven; now that chinese bonds are a competing safe haven, especially in post covid world, the power of the white anglo american power structure is further weakened.
    No wonder the Five Eyes are trying to start world war 3 before China becomes indisputably number one.


    Not sure why the EU would be the first place you expect the US to look for support vs China and in what way?

    The fact remains that the Anglo power structure in the US initiated a trade war with China which the anglo power structure in Australia followed suit. When the blowback occurred, it was the anglo white laity who suffered.

    If there was true solidarity, white france and white america would have give up their market share in China, to the Australians. That did not happen, and now Penfolds is gonna be sold to ze French.

    biden inherited a cold war the US cannot afford to have, against China of all countries. America today is exactly like the Qing dynasty in its twilight years; competing court eunuchs hamstringing effective governance and rich elites using taxpayer monies to fund their own lifestyle (seriously, $10,000 mugs?! spouses on taxpayer funded diplomatic aircraft?!)

    Take your pick from this handy list of right-wing talking points:

    -Something something communism.

    -To make Glorious Leader Trump look bad.

    -Something something white genocide.

    There is no conspiracy to "ruin America"; the "goal" of the élite is to perpetuate the existing hierarchy, irrespective of the damage it causes. Convincing minority communities that their problems are all the fault of the white man is simply part of a broader strategy to protect the status quo.

    The Biden administration is strongly aligned with the Federal Reserve who is happy to drive inflation as demand for cash supply rises due to the massive stimulus injections as a consequence of the lockdown. This is my biggest worry.

    The FED has never been right on anything, just kicking the bucket further down the road from one chair to the next with printing money as the sole answer to everything. They grossly underestimate the danger of a hyperinflation I fear and Biden is unlikely to exercise his authority against that (not sure in how far the POTUS has a say in that).

    I'm not sure about recent acts of symbolical populism. For example the executive order regarding transgender athletes is basically just an acknowledgement of the Supreme Court's decision and the decision to execute the law as apparently intended. So it can't even be really ascribed to Biden, but is just a continuation of the rich tradition of insane lawmaking in the US.
    The executive order does not tie an education institution's federal funding to allowing biological male athletes access to women's sports teams and scholarships, the White House said in a statement issued to USA TODAY.

    The order mandates that all students, including transgender students, be able to learn without facing sex discrimination, and as part of that, transgender women should compete on female teams, according to the statement.
