This week, however, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the UK is banning Huawei’s equipment from its network. British telecom operators must stop buying 5G equipment from Huawei by the end of the year and need to remove all of Huawei’s existing gear from the network by 2027. What explains the sharp reversal? To start, President Trump and his administration deserve credit.
China will likely defeat the US in a future war, if one erupts. That’s a difficult fact to accept for many Americans, but it’s the truth. America has a more powerful military now, to be sure. But mounting evidence points to a coming Chinese victory — unless Washington takes bold, aggressive steps today to maintain its dwindling edge. The foundation of these steps is to increase the Pentagon’s budget.
Years from now, when historians want to understand the presidency of Donald Trump — and scholars will no doubt be curious about our 45th president — they should study two speeches.
One speech is the president’s most recent, which he delivered at Mount Rushmore to celebrate Independence Day. The other speech dates back to July 2017, when President Trump spoke to the people of Poland in Warsaw.
Biden claims his experience in foreign policy is an asset. In reality, it may be one of Biden’s biggest weaknesses. Anecdotes of tough talking dictators and becoming friends with democratic leaders sound nice, but when they’re proven to be ineffective, they’re just empty stories. Combine that with plain old bad decision making, and you get someone who absolutely should not be commander in chief.
If the voices that so readily condemn Israel truly want peace, maybe they should hold the Palestinians accountable every once in a while. After all, if the Palestinians are looking for anyone to blame for their plight, they should look in the mirror first.
If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that press reports based on anonymous sources leaking sensitive information should be taken seriously but viewed skeptically. Sadly, we’ve seen too many examples of such stories being factually inaccurate and of experts, journalists, and politicians weaponizing the press to achieve political ends — namely, to hurt President Trump politically.
For decades, American elites argued that China would, over time, become a democracy through trade, global interdependence, and greater economic freedom. The theory was logical but wrong.
Since George Floyd’s killing, woke progressives have been teaching a master class on how to perpetuate racism. But the fact remains that the protests and riots, the toppling of statues and vandalizing of monuments, and the visceral hostility toward law enforcement all ensure that intolerance is here to stay.
Protesters can pile on top of each other by the thousands and New Yorkers can enjoy parks in some areas, but Jewish children, restless from being quarantined, are unable to play outside and breathe fresh air. The hypocrisy is remarkable.
Over the past couple of weeks, protesters and rioters have demolished statues and other historical monuments across America and Europe.
