Thailand is buying submarines that it doesn’t need from China, and China has no engines to put in them. How could this happen?
Perhaps the Thai navy got bad advice. Perhaps Thai officials got paid off by the Chinese—it is one of Beijing’s favorite strategies when signing contracts for billions of dollars around the world.
Whatever happened, China sold Thailand something it couldn’t deliver: Chinese submarines with German engines. When Germany’s engine maker, MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH, refused to provide the engines due to European Union sanctions from the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre, Beijing realized it had to provide something else, or lose the Thai contract and its own pride.
During the daily briefing at the White House Thursday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked about the New York Times finally reporting what we already knew to be true: Hunter Biden's laptop is real and the information contained within it raises a number of serious questions.
In her response, Psaki said because Hunter Biden is not a government employee, she has no comment. (snip)But while Hunter Biden isn't technically a government employee, the White House is using taxpayer resources to manage his "art career."
"I can tell you after careful consideration a system has been established that allows for Hunter Biden to work in his profession within reasonable safeguards.
Apparently, the motive everyone inferred about Joe Biden to making those bizarre statements about compromising sexual material and blackmail was accurate. Less than 12 hours after his weird comments, yesterday the New York Times released a devastating article finally admitting that every previously denied allegation surrounding the Hunter Biden laptop was accurate.(snip)All of their denials, false statements, malicious attacks against the people telling the truth, and all of the Big Tech censorship that was purposefully and intentionally deployed to keep the lies retained, was done in an effort to manufacture a protective shield for Joe Biden. (Snip); they willfully and purposefully lied.
An American Olympic figure skater and her father were among those targeted in an alleged conspiracy by secret agents of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to silence dissidents abroad, according to a report by the Associated Press.
Olympic figure skater Alysa Liu and her father Arthur Liu were allegedly targeted by the CCP’s effort to stalk and intimidate critics of the regime living in the United States.
The FBI informed the elder Liu last year that he and his daughter Alysa, then aged 16 (snip), were being targeted by the CCP. The elder Liu said he didn’t tell his daughter because he worried it would frighten her,

The history of Western man is the history of war, and no war looms larger in the West than the Peloponnesian War. Fought in the fifth-century BC between the Delian League, led by Athens, and the Peloponnesian League, led by Sparta, the war has come to define the two natures of the West. One side is the austere, efficient men of war and the other is the creative men of culture and philosophy.(snip)We see the same thing shaping up with the war in Ukraine. The Russians are now talked about as if they are bloodthirsty murder robots. (Snip) Athens is always cast as the good guys
Once upon a time there was a dashing Russian prince who died in a beautiful American town. The world had known him, in the later bloom of his adult years, as a wealthy New York entrepreneur, publicist, socialite, and man about town, the toast of Manhattan society, (snip)
there was a quality about the prince that was somewhat inscrutable, intangible. He had been a hero. But a hero of two worlds, two civilizations, and, in a sense, two centuries, in Russia and America. A childhood companion of the young Tolstoy counts, a constitutional monarchist trained in British law, and a member of an early-20th-century generation of aristocratic reformers

White House COVID-19 adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said he expects to be investigated by Republicans if they take back control of the House during the 2022 midterm elections.
“It’s Benghazi hearings all over again,” Fauci told The Washington Post on March 15 in reference to numerous GOP lawmakers saying they will look into alleged gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, located near where the first COVID-19 cases were officially reported in late 2019.
Fauci, an unelected federal official who has headed the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984, claimed that potential hearings “will distract me from doing my job,

There appears to be continuing discord in NATO. (snip)when the US, Poland, and Germany appear to be at odds, that’s more significant ‘going forward’, (snip)
Yesterday Poland proposed a NATO “peace keeping” force be deployed in Ukraine. I’m sure Putin had a good laugh at that one. It didn’t take long for a German reaction. One interesting aspect of what’s going on here is that the current Polish government must be very much conflicted as to how to react. The vice premier referred to in the tweet below(snip)is notoriously anti-Russian but also anti-German (he has said, perhaps correctly, that the EU is basically a stalking horse for a Fourth Reich).
The Zeitgeist is demanding the total evacuation of Russia by every government and business on the planet. (snip) No business dealings. Massive sanctions. As the response to Russia invading its neighbor Ukraine.
Never mind that these things never, ever work properly.(snip)Saudi Arabia invaded Yemen in 2014 — as a part of a Yemeni civil war that still rages. And we’ve been helping Saudi Arabia — the invader, not the invad-ee. And in the bramble-bush thicket that is the Middle East, that puts US on the same side as Al Qaeda. The Zeitgeist has done its very best to ensure you know none of this.
How safe are COVID-19 vaccines? Should everyone be taking them? Are people who get vaccines more likely to get COVID-19? Can genetic material in the vaccines be incorporated into the human genome? These are some of the unknown questions that researchers around the world are currently investigating.
With more initial findings and hypotheses now released to the public, a group of free speech and information advocates last week during a presentation in Pennsylvania gave their “uncensored” take of the current science. They are currently traveling around the United States sharing concerns about how public health policy (snip)
The speakers were Dr. Peter McCullough, a renowned cardiologist whose own research is highly-cited;
Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) will attempt to bring impeachment proceedings against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, documents obtained by The Epoch Times show.
The move caps off a full year of Republican dissatisfaction with Mayorkas, who as the DHS secretary is in charge of border security.
In the past year, the United States has seen unprecedented levels of illegal immigration.
Estimates of how many illegal aliens have entered the country since Biden took office vary, but U.S. Customs and Border Protection data show that about 2 million people illegally crossed the border in 2021, a nearly fourfold increase from illegal crossings a year earlier.
(snip) deportation rates have plunged under Mayorkas’

Dr. Anthony Fauci is getting a little nervous.
The White House chief medical advisor, whose handling of the COVID-19 pandemic has drawn either abject endorsement or stinging rebuke depending on whom you ask, expects to face some tough questions come next year. In an interview with The Washington Post, a mouthpiece not known for its hostility to the good doctor, Fauci speculated that he’d likely be in the hot seat if Republicans take Congress in the upcoming midterm elections.“It’s Benghazi hearings all over again,” Fauci told the Post, an odd comment for a supposedly apolitical and neutral medical advisor and chief of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases

Google and YouTube have declared former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to be inappropriate viewing.Ms. Gabbard posted a three-minute clip on Twitter on Wednesday evening, most of which was of an appearance by her on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle.” (Tweet/Video) But she labeled the clip “this is what Google/YouTube doesn’t want you to say,” based on the first several seconds.The video shows someone logging in via Google and, before the Gabbard-Ingraham interview begins, the viewer is warned that “the following content has been identified by the YouTube community as inappropriate or offensive to some audiences.”
Barack Obama's daughters Sasha and Malia have cemented their status as true Los Angeles celebrities by ticking off another A-lister rite of passage: a grueling hike in the Hollywood heat. The former First Daughters - who both relocated to the West Coast earlier this year - were pictured working up a sweat while enjoying a scenic up-hill walk, just days after they were spotted dining out at an exclusive LA eatery with their mother Michelle. Sasha, 20, and Malia, 23, both put on a sporty display for their fitness-focused outing, with the younger Obama sibling donning a tiny pair of black workout shorts, which she paired with a black T-shirt
Woke Yale law students have been filmed threatening speakers and staff for attending a free speech event which saw a humanist speaker invited to debate a high-profile conservative on First Amendment rights. Police were forced to escort guest speakers from Yale Law School's free speech debate after more than 100 students intimated a conservative panelist and caused a riot in the auditorium by yelling and blocking exits out of the hall.The chaos broke out last week at the start of a panel featuring progressive Monica Miller from the American Humanist Association and conservative Christian Kristen Waggoner of the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) nonprofit.
President Joe Biden called Vladimir Putin a 'murderous dictator and pure thug' in his St Patrick's Day speech on Thursday that started with the quip: 'I may be Irish but I am not stupid'. Biden ramped up his attacks on the Russian leader, a day after finally calling him a war criminal, in remarks that started with him going through his Irish heritage at the annual Friends of Ireland Luncheon. 'Father before I began, bless me, father I'm about to sin,' Biden cracked, making the sign of the cross as he addressed Rev. Thomas O'Connor while standing between Irish and American flags inside the wood paneled Rayburn Room
University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas made history Thursday as the first openly transgender person to win a Division I national championship.
Thomas, a senior on the women's swim team, finished the 500-yard freestyle at the front of the pack in 4 minutes, 33.24 seconds at the McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta. "It means the world to be here," Thomas said in an interview after the win. Thomas competed against University of Virginia freshman Emma Weyant, University of Texas freshman Erica Sullivan, and Stanford University senior Brooke Forde. Thomas ended up finishing 1.75 seconds ahead of second-place Weyant.
RINO Ben Crenshaw labeled Americans who don’t want to send their children to war with Russia in Ukraine, Putin apologists. When he did this on FOX News he was called out.
Ben Crenshaw was on FOX and Friends on Thursday. He told the audience how disturbing it was to him that anyone would oppose not going to war against Russia. When Rachel Campos-Duffy said most Americans question US involvement in such a war he lost it.
Jussie Smollett is back on the streets again

Just five days after going to jail to begin his 150-day sentence, Jussie Smollett is a free man again. Considering what’s been happening in D.C. to people who, at most, trespassed, the whole Jussie saga has been disgusting and this is one more chapter to irritate or even enrage those who believe in the rule of law. However, much as I hate to say this, the appellate court that released him while his appeal is pending probably made the correct legal decision. (snip) Smollett’s attorneys had argued that he would have completed the jail sentence by the time the appeal process was completed
World War Two hero Audie Murphy, former Secretary of State Colin Powell and ex-President Dwight Eisenhower are set to have their names used on US military bases whose titles honor Confederate figures. Murphy, a former US Army soldier, became the most-decorated serviceman of World War Two. Powell was the first black person to serve as Secretary of State, between 2001 and 2005, and died last year. Eisenhower was a hero World War Two commander who later served as president between 1953 and 1961.
Food prices are already skyrocketing. Some — a lot — of this comes from inflation caused by runaway government spending over the past two years. Some is from supply-chain issues. But a new problem is rearing its head, and government officials seem as likely to make it worse as to make it better.
That problem is shortages of food and fertilizer brought about by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions enacted by the West in response. Ukraine is a major wheat producer, but war is likely to ensure a poor spring planting and harvest. Russia is also a major grower, but sanctions and war will prevent it from exporting to most
Liberals in Congress are pressing President Joe Biden to invoke emergency powers to push ahead with Democrats' climate change agenda and to put new restrictions on fossil fuels, even while gasoline remains at its highest per-gallon price on record.
With legislation stalled in Congress, the nearly 100-member Congressional Progressive Caucus released a slate of policy recommendations Thursday for Biden to pursue, calling on him to use executive action to deal with a list of topics his "Build Back Better" agenda sought to address, including the development of more green energy technologies and placement of restrictions on new fossil fuel production.
Disgraced 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett has been released from jail after just six days behind bars so he can appeal his conviction for faking a hate crime - with his lawyer saying the 39-year-old was refusing food behind bars, and had 'nearly given up'. Smollett did not speak as he left the Cook County Jail, and was flanked by bodyguards as he walked out in a smart black t-shirt and matching pants, before getting into a waiting SUV and being driven off.He was freed after he posts the required $150,000 personal recognizance bond.

Has anyone else noticed that Dr. Malone is a really smart, well-informed guy on many topice - not just mRNA and science. And he’s on our side. Someone to read and pay attention to. Here he goes from the biolabs in Ukraine to Tulsi Gabbard via Mittens, and on to the reemergence of Tony Fauci. And he takes no prisoners. I like Malone a lot.
