Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is continuing to lead the fight against the Small Business Administration’s illegal funding of Planned Parenthood using money from the Paycheck Protection Program. One America’s John Hines has more from Capitol Hill.
Perhaps reflecting the state of modern masculinity, a new poll finds that over a quarter of American men think they would lose a fight with a house cat.
Yes, really.
Participants were asked, “What an animal could you beat in a fight?”
Only 74 per cent of men said they could win a fight with a house cat, leaving 26 per cent who literally think they’d get a beatdown from the feline pet.
President Joe Biden believes illegal aliens are part “of what the American Dream represents,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday.
The comment came when a reporter asked Psaki to explain why Biden had just met with six illegal aliens who are campaigning for national amnesty.
The six illegals were brought to the United States as children by their illegal alien parents without legal or public approval. They are enrolled in former President Barack Obama’s legally uncertain work-permit program, dubbed Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The questioner asked, “What message is the president trying to send by having DACA recipients come here? [You] have all these [political] priorities you have to do, [such as] jobs and infrastructure. … Where does immigration rank?”
China spent almost $64 million in propaganda expenses in the United States in 2020, according to a new report from the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP). The sum is from new foreign-agent filings through the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and represents a sixfold increase from the $10 million registered in 2016.
Both numbers vastly underestimate China’s influence in the United States, which is primarily through the approximately $600 billion in annual trade between the two countries. Every dollar traded with China benefits some Americans, many of whom seek to influence U.S. government policy toward appeasing rather than confronting China. Appeasement ensures trade flow. Confrontation threatens trade flow. The math is simple.
The biggest and most politically influential corporations and billionaires make the most from China. So, big business and the think tanks, academics, and nonprofits that big business supports, mostly tend to favor more free trade with China.
