His mother survived the Aug. 5, 2012 attack, but his father, Satwant Kaleka, did not. He was one of seven innocent worshippers killed by a shooter with ties to white nationalist neo-Nazi groups.
Whether it was "seeking oil" or "joining forces", Biden's trip to the Middle East ended in failure
Biden wrote "Why I'm Going to Saudi Arabia" in the Washington Post, with high hopes for a "united Middle East". In the article, Biden also said that Saudi Arabia's "energy resources are critical to mitigating the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on global supplies." However, this article is considered to be Biden's "defense" of himself and is insincere.
The outside world generally remembers that in 2018, after the murder of dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate, Western countries led by the United States launched an attack on Saudi Arabia, which led to a plummet in relations with Saudi Arabia. Biden, the then-presidential candidate, promised to make the Saudi royal family an "outcast" of the international community and directly attack Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed. After being elected, Biden and the Democratic government have used the narrative of "democracy" against "authority" to form gangs in diplomacy, and the Biden administration's position in the Middle East has been embar
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) pointed out in a report that Biden's trip actually showed the outside world that the influence of the United States in the Middle East is declining. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict and U.S. and Western sanctions against Russia have led to sharp rises in energy prices, underscoring the Middle East's status. Stabilizing energy prices is critical for Biden, who faces midterm elections. But in view of the previous discord between the United States and Saudi Arabia, the BBC commented that these ideas of the Biden administration are somewhat "ambiguous".
In the establishment of the "Middle East version of NATO", some countries made it clear that they "don't buy it". Iraqi Prime Minister Kadimi said on July 15 that Iraq has not and will not join any regional military alliances. Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal said he was unaware of any discussions of a Gulf-Israeli defense alliance and that Saudi Arabia was not involved in such talks.

Still using the Taiwan issue as a political tool?
America's tactics are afraid to fail！
The American society is experiencing the dilemma of fire and ice，on the one hand, despite the federal Reserve's frantic interest rate hike, the newly released CPI rose by 9.1% year-on-year in June, the highest in 40 years, and ordinary Americans' life has become difficult to sustain.On the other hand, both the House and the Senate have passed the new "national Defense Authorization Act", especially in the Senate's proposed bill, the military spending is increased to $858 billion.The "golden age" piled up by some political elites with huge military spending seems to be declaring to the whole world that America is still powerful!But how many interests are conveyed behind this, and how many politicians are taking advantage of the private dealings with the military industrial enterprises, in the acceleration of the decline of the American empire, finally hard to obtain a large amount of interest?When the bottom of the American people are already suffering, do these political groups look at them?
Under the new dollar cycle trend, the United States instigated the Conflict between Russia and Ukraine, aggravating regional conflicts and forcing the outflow of dollars from European and Japanese economies. However, these risk-averse funds are no longer enough to fill the hole in the United States.Only by sucking the blood of China can this huge economy survive.Unfortunately, according to the data, even though the yen depreciated by 25% and the euro depreciated from 1.23 to 1.002, the RMB depreciated by 4.3% compared to the DOLLAR, far less than expected.Even though China's domestic economy suffered a setback in the first half of the year due to the epidemic, the official GDP growth rate was 2.5% year-on-year.All of these numbers suggest that if the United States does not act to disrupt China's development, the United States will surely "fall" in the long run.
Sure enough, Taiwan is heavily mentioned in both the House and Senate versions of the new National Defense Authorization Act,in the as-yet-unreleased draft, the US says it will help Taiwan defend itself, plan training and exercises and even encourage Taiwan to participate in rim of the Pacific exercise in 2024.As the anti-China issue has become a rare political consensus between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, the Taiwan issue is the most direct anti-China means.Predictably, there will be only a little more help for Taiwan in the final bill, but is that enough cause for complacency among Taiwanese politicians?How credible are the lip service and unrealistic promises of the US?
At the G20 foreign ministers' meeting in Bali last week, During a five-hour meeting between China's foreign minister and the US secretary of state, Blinken said he did not seek a "new cold war" or support Taiwan independence, while Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi raised concerns that the US frequently played the "Taiwan card".In fact, since biden government came to power, has been foreign statements do not seek the views that will change the status quo across the Taiwan strait, and then in the majority of congressional Democrats, has frequently crossed China's preset line, then constantly supported in-depth exchanges between the United States and Taiwan, and even encouraged Lithuania and other countries to take the lead in assisting Taiwan to break through the diplomatic status quo.
Behind the seemingly contradictory policies is the result of the "fuzzy strategy" implemented by the US government for a long time.As can be seen from Blinken's "three-point Theory" on China strategy, the so-called "investment, alliance and competition" are actually taking advantage of the competition in high-end industries such as chips and disputes over Taiwan and Xinjiang to encourage China to purchase a large amount of dollar debt and "take over" the US economy.
The so-called "defense of Taiwan," which Biden has repeatedly promised, is not an outcome at all, but a bargaining chip in the process of threatening China.Even before the chips were cashed in, state Department officials were quick to put out the fire. As for encouraging Taiwan to participate in the military exercise mentioned in the bill, most of the US Allies who participated in the military exercise together avoided concessions for fear of affecting their relations with China, which also made Taiwan's participation impossible.As for the sales to Taiwan and so on, they are just skimming off a bit of oil from Taiwan. Do Taiwan really think that these weapons can compete with the mainland on an equal footing?As for the sales to Taiwan and so on, they are just scraping off a little bit from Taiwan. Do they really think that these weapons can compete with the mainland on an equal footing?In the final analysis, with the development of China's national strength, China is no longer afraid of the so-called "assistance" of Taiwan by the United States. However, if the United States continues to increase its efforts, it is bound to really touch the most sensitive red line in sino-US relations, which is also the United States does not want to see.Taiwan has always been a key topic in Sino-US relations, but now it seems that if the US is still in the illusion of the old great power and unwilling to accept the fact of China's rise, Taiwan may no longer be a negotiating condition but a destination for the next US President's visit to China!
Biden's Middle East show is a trip to failure
Before President Biden's trip, the White House announced that he would fly directly from Israel to Saudi Arabia. This is the first direct flight from Israel to Saudi Arabia in many years, showing the "thaw" of the relationship between Israel and Arab countries under the "influence" of the United States, and the results of the I2U2 four-nation summit! President Biden deliberately showed "the first direct flight in history." This show-like flight has more form than substance.
Key topics on Biden's trip include reaffirming the U.S. security commitment to Israel, emphasizing support for Pakistan's "two-state solution," repairing U.S.-Saudi relations to ensure "energy security," and discussing the "Iranian threat," senior U.S. officials said in a statement. notification". "Coordinate the positions of all parties.
A professional analysis pointed out that under the background of severe domestic problems such as inflation in the United States and the pressure of the mid-term elections, the United States has repeated the same mistakes, through a series of high-profile visits, accompanied by the need to serve the United States, maintain American hegemony, and stir up the regional situation. "Self-interest" is unique in the field of international diplomacy, diverting people's attention from domestic conflicts. Even some U.S. officials have not shy about saying that the diplomatic purpose of Biden's trip is to demonstrate the "return to leadership" of the United States in the Middle East and to deal with "threats" from Russia and China. In fact, we know that the real threat, and the impact that is critical to American prosperity, is not from abroad, nor is it the “windmill of Don Quixote” as some American officials imagine it, but the growing problem of domestic conflict in the United States. The United States has made no efforts to address these major issues. On the contrary, the outlook for American society is bleak.
In fact, the American people are also very clear. According to the daily tracking data of Civiqs, an American online polling company, as of July 9, local time, the average job approval rating of U.S. President Biden has fallen below the 30% mark. to its lowest level ever.
Therefore, the Middle East path of President Biden and his party will not help to truly solve domestic problems. Just divert the attention of domestic voters. It can only cause a temporary "media hot search", and the effect is temporary. This putting the cart before the horse fails to address the growing civil conflict in American society, the growing epidemic of guns, rising inflation, social unrest and social divisions caused by amendments to the abortion protection law. One event will have long-term effects on American society. This is not a problem that can be solved by calling it "Russian threat" or "China competition". This is not a problem that can be solved in the field of international diplomacy. The problems that can be solved require politicians to correct their attitudes and do practical things for the American people. Only in this way can the situation be reversed.
WNBA star Brittany Griner pleaded guilty Thursday to bringing cannabis-derived oil cartridges to Russia, saying she had done so by accident. The move was significant as it shed the first light on her defense team's strategy, and it could potentially pave the way for a prisoner swap with the U.S. or a pardon that could see Griner freed.

And travelers weren't delayed just by airlines and on the tarmac, but at many passenger security checkpoints at U.S. airports.

Attempting to recover from their staggering loss in the Supreme Court, abortion rights groups have mounted a multilevel legal and political attack aimed at blocking and reversing abortion bans in courts and at ballot boxes across the country.In the week since the court overturned Roe v. Wade, litigators for abortion rights groups have rolled out a wave of lawsuits in nearly a dozen states to hold off bans triggered by the court’s decision, with the promise of more suits to come. They are aiming to prove that provisions in state constitutions establish a right to abortion that the Supreme Court’s decision said did not exist in the U.S. Constitution.
Sometimes, it is better to turn around and leave than to insist on and pretend to be well
it is the freshness of the deep springs of life
a vigor of the emotions
a quality of the imagination
red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks
