Klar: Strange China Virus Headlines Feel Like Déjà Vu All Over Again
It’s almost déjà vu – a never-heard-of virus spreading through China, requiring vaccination and scaring the public. Fortunately, this one is generally non-fatal.

Cardello: Nothing About China Is Good For America
Some countries are not allies of America, but we can still have a relationship with them. Some say Russia is our greatest geopolitical threat, but we still purchase its valuable rare earths.

Matthews: China’s Strengths Are Over-Exaggerated

What Should We Do About Rare Earth Minerals?
Currently, the United States relies on supply chains controlled by China for the vast majority of its supply of rare earth minerals.

The Clock Is Ticking on the TikTok Ban
The April 5 deadline for TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to divest its holdings or be shut down revives a controversial battle.

Chinese Toxic Food
George Orwell’s novel 1984 provides us with the political wisdom: “those who control the present control the past and our future.” Thinking back to the nineties, I ask, “Should treason have been the reason for the Clinton Impeachment?” Monica Lewinsky was the scapegoat in the Senate-conducted kangaroo trial, while the Senate ignored President Clinton’s alleged … Read more

Critical Warning
Whatever one’s interests might be, whether it’s religion, family, education, or American culture, the enemy’s effort to devalue and eliminate is obvious!
