Secretary of State Tony Blinken’s Juneteenth trip to Beijing has been lowballed as basically a social call to re-open a bilateral “dialogue” with little of substance expected to come of it. 
Translation: Something is up.
It could be that Blinken’s prostrating kow-tow to Xi Jinping will simply permit Joe Biden to do the same with the Chinese dictator in the next few months. This will be trumpeted as a victory for diplomacy and a boost to Biden’s reelection bid.
Here's a thought-experiment: What if this meeting instead tees up an enormous strategic defeat in response to the Chinese dictating to the hapless Blinken that they’re going to seize Taiwan before November 2024 – but will guarantee U.S. access to the island’s advanced chip-manufacturing if we don’t interfere? 
Of course, that guarantee would be worthless. But it may be an “offer” Joe won’t refuse.

The tradition of representatives of vassal states “kow-towing” by prostrating themselves before China emperors long predated its practice by the likes of Henry Kissinger and Bill Clinton. But it seems certain to be on display during Secretary of State Tony Blinken’s current mission to Beijing, delayed by what Joe Biden calls “the silly balloon.”
What would be truly silly – if it weren’t so dangerous – is the proposition that visits by a man of Blinken’s exceedingly limited abilities, a track record of appeasement in office and a personal history as a member of the Chinese Communist Party’s “captured” American elite would do other than reinforce Emperor Xi Jinping’s conviction that he can get away with murder, literally.
Far from making violent conflict with the CCP less likely, Team Biden’s insistence on such kow-towing “engagement” undermines our chances of deterring it.

Representative Adam Schiff personifies much of what is currently wrong with American politics. The former, highly partisan chairman of the House Intelligence Committee has serially abused power to attack his opponents and lies pretty much whenever he opens his mouth. 
Yesterday, the House of Representatives voted on a motion to censure Mr. Schiff for such misconduct. Thanks, however, to twenty Republicans who helped Democrats spare him that ignominy, Schiff likely will believe he can continue baselessly defaming President Trump and others with impunity.
The idea that individuals like Adam Schiff can behave in this fashion, escape any real penalty and proceed to run for higher office – in his case, the U.S. Senate, is deeply repugnant to people of integrity. Fortunately, freshman Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who initiated the original censure motion, will introduce another one next week designed to command broader support.

The Biden administration has been implicated in funding and otherwise encouraging an actual insurgency in Israel. That means it’s been involved with opposition leaders – including former senior officials – directly working to overthrow Benjamin Netanyahu’s elected governing coalition. 
There would never be a good time for Team Biden to be encouraging the destabilization of an allied, democratic government. But this is a particularly dangerous moment to be distracting and undermining the Israelis. 
After all, they can no longer postpone the day of reckoning now confronting the Jewish State as a direct result of the cumulative effects of the appeasement, enriching and emboldening of the Iranian regime over the Obama-Biden presidency’s three terms that have incalculably helped the mullahs acquire nuclear weapons.
Heaven help Israel – and us – if Bibi is unable to prevent the ayatollahs from using the Bomb they now surely have.

The Times of London reports the U.S. State Department has concluded at last that a Chinese Communist biological warfare laboratory in Wuhan secretly genetically modified a bat coronavirus to make it more transmissible and lethal to humans.
This is not exactly news. In fact, it has been obvious for years. But the evidence contradicted the officially approved narrative, derived from the Chinese Communist Party’s lies, then legitimated and amplified by the World Health Organization it controls. 
Consequently, we must address the reality that, once the virus was out of the Wuhan lab, it was deliberately spread to this country and globally by the CCP in what amounts to a deliberate biological warfare attack. 
The Chinese Communist Party is a Transnational Criminal Organization that must be prosecuted and punished for this and other war crimes against innocent people. Ditto its accomplice: the WHO.

Freedom is an endangered species, thanks to the Chinese Communist Party’s so-called “social credit system.” It utilizes a comprehensive array of advanced surveillance, computing and artificial intelligence technologies to monitor and control its own population. 
Worse yet, the Chinese Communists and their globalist allies at the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, Big Pharma and, of course, the Biden administration – seek to impose this “Digital Gulag,” here and throughout the world.
The building-blocks of that liberty-crushing project include: Team Biden’s bid to institutionalize the “China Model” of pandemic lockdowns, emergency orders and mandates; American businesses conforming to “environment, social and governance” scoring; and the proliferation of global and national health IDs. 
The time to resist is now, while we still can.
