Re: Let the truth be known

Biden simply isn't up to the job of being president.





President Biden’s government has been outmaneuvered by German ChancellorAngela Merkel on critical security fronts




"You have to give it to Chancellor Merkel: She outmaneuvered Joe Biden in just three weeks. Merkel made it clear she would not take sides between communist China and capitalist America, reversed the 10,000 U.S. troop withdrawal that Trump previously announced and got the Biden administration to stop enforcing Nord Stream 2 sanctions," Grenell said.

Last week, Biden froze the plan to withdraw American troops from the Federal Republic. In December, Congress passed legislation — the National Defense Authorization Act — that contains sanctions targeting companies and individuals involved in the Nord Stream 2 project.



The Nord Stream 2 deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s regime will transfer Russian gas to the Federal Republic via a pipeline running under the Baltic Sea. Critics say the project will ensure that Germany becomes dependent for its energy needs on Russia—a major adversary of the US and Europe.

For Grenell, who was the first openly gay person to hold a U.S. Cabinet-level position and who also served as ambassador to Berlin from 2018 to 2020, the "message is you can have a ‘Germany First’ policy, have your businesses totally engaged with China, and you do not need to take sides between Communist China and America.

"Merkel always wanted to return to the table where she sits across from a weak U.S. president," he continued, adding that she did not like the Trump administration’s "transactional diplomacy."
According to Grenell, then-President Donald Trump told Merkel: "I do not blame you for wanting policies that benefit Germany, but you can’t blame me for sticking up for America."

Merkel’s government faced intense criticism during Trump’s tenure for allegedly freeloading on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) by failing to honor its pledge to spend 2% of GDP on defense.



From the German perspective, they get the pipeline [to import Russian natural gas] and do not have to pay their NATO commitment," Grenell said. "Europe wants a U.S. president who won’t demand that they pay their bills."

For security and intelligence experts like Grenell, the Merkel administration’s addiction to Russian gas, its policy of neutrality toward the Chinese Communist Party and its abandonment of its NATO obligationsmean that "Merkel takes a quick step away from the West under Biden."

He warned against returning to business as usual with Europe: "Europeans want to go back to the days when Americans nicely ask for something, the Europeans ignore the request, and everyone goes for dinner with a fancy bottle of wine."

"The Germans got a free pass from the Biden administration to not join the West if it doesn’t help them personally," he said.

Grenell said Berlin is eager to "start normalized trade with Iran." Germany is the Iranian regime’s biggest European trade partner. In 2019, Merkel’s government celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Iranian regime’s Islamic Revolution at Tehran’s embassy in Berlin.

Germany’s cordial relations with Iran’s government, the leading state-sponsor of international terrorism according to both the Obama and Trump administrations, raises questions about Merkel’s relations with China’s Communist Party, particularly in light of the allegations of Beijing’s genocidal actions against Muslims.

In a Jan. 26 Politico article titled "Merkel sides with Xi on avoiding Cold War blocs," the journalists wrote, "Merkel on Tuesday rejected calls for Europe to pick sides between the U.S. and China, in a nod to the plea made by Chinese President Xi Jinping a day earlier."

Trial set to rock Washington and echo through the ages
Analysis by Stephen Collinson, CNN
Updated 1:15 PM EST, Tue February 09, 2021

(CNN)The simple question posed by Donald Trump's second impeachment trial that begins Tuesday is whether a president who loses reelection can get away with a violent coup attempt in a desperate bid to stay in power.

The answer contained in the former commander-in-chief's likely acquittal for inciting a deadly mob assault on the Capitol will echo through generations and may influence the outcome of some unknowable future test of US democracy.

But more contemporary concerns that do not depend on the verdict of the Senate trial -- like the consistent cowardice of Republicans who refuse to hold Trump to account and the effect of the evidence on the American public -- are also hugely consequential since they will shape the modern political age.

How to watch the Senate impeachment trial

Events of the next week or so will inform the country's capacity to move on from a traumatic presidency that left it as divided as at any time since the Civil War. And the unpredictable partisan fallout unleashed by a trial unfolding inside an eight-foot high fence around the Capitol amid fears of more violence will have a direct effect on President Joe Biden's hopes of mustering the national will needed to conquer multiple crises.

The trial will begin just a month after a now infamous day, when Trump greeted a huge crowd in Washington already primed for revolt by his weeks of false claims of election fraud. The subsequent invasion of the US Capitol during a joint session of Congress to certify Biden's election victory led to five deaths and saw Trump fans parading unimpeded through the halls of the iconic building as lawmakers fled to safety.

President Biden threatens financial, visa sanctions against Nigeria, others over anti-gay laws


President of the United States of America, Joe Biden has threatened to sanction countries that have refused to make laws to accommodate Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer and Intersex (LGBTQI) people.
The President issued a presidential memorandum aimed at expanding the protection of the rights LGBTQI people worldwide.
Sanctions against such nations may include financial punishment.
Nigeria is categorized as a homophobic country due to its anti-gay posture which has been increasingly criticised by global rights groups.
Recall that despite pressure from former US President, Barrack Obama, ex-President, Goodluck Jonathan signed the Same-Sex-Marriage (Prohibition) Act in January 2014.
The anti-gay laws in Nigeria, a leading ant-LGBTQI country in Africa, prescribes between 10 and 14 years in prison for anyone caught flouting the law either by cohabitation between same-sex sexual partners, public show of same-sex relationship, registration, operation or participation in gay clubs, societies and organisation, amongst others.




The memo directs US agencies working in foreign countries to work harder to combat the criminalisation by foreign governments of LGBTQ status or conduct, and directs the State Department to include anti-LGBTQ violence, discrimination and laws in its annual human rights report.
It calls for increased efforts to ensure that LGBTQ asylum seekers have equal access to protection, expanded training for US federal personnel, and potential increased use of priority referrals to expedite resettlement of vulnerable people.
It also instructs agencies to consider appropriate responses, including the full range of diplomatic tools, and potentially financial sanctions and visa restrictions, when foreign governments restrict the rights of LGBTQ people.
Biden announced the push during a forceful speech at the State Department, vowing to rebuild US credibility worldwide.

Recall that with less than two weeks to the end of his administration, former President, Donald Trump had weakened the protection for LGBT community by rolling back non-discrimination protections for such people seeking the services of health and welfare programs funded by the US Department of Health and Human Services.
Few days after Joe Biden emerged winner of the November 3, 2020 presidential election, Dr. Emeka Nwosu, a former Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs to ex-Senate President, Evan Enwerem, had told Africans, especially Nigerians that Biden should not be judged by the works of his former boss, Barrack Obama, who sanctioned LGTB rights and promoted Antichrist.

He said Nigerians should, however, expect and hope that Biden runs his presidency different from that of Obama even though he was part of the government for eight years.
DAILY POST, in a special report had projected that the recent rise in homosexuals in Nigeria may have been influenced by the new democratic government in the United States led by President Joe Biden.

Re: Let the truth be known

Michigan's highest ranking Republican leader was caught on video calling the Jan. 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol a "hoax" and espousing other conspiracy theories related to the siege.

Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, in a video posted on YouTube of a meeting with Hillsdale County Republican Party officials, said of the Capitol insurrection in which five people died: "It was all staged."

About half an hour into the video Shirkey can also be heard asking, "Why wasn't there more security there?" He accused Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of being involved, saying McConnell "is part of the decision-making how much security they have on stand. I think they wanted to have a mess."

Shirkey on Tuesday issued a statement that didn't directly address his claims but said he regretted the words he chose and his "insensitive comments."

"I said some things in a videoed conversation that are not fitting for the role I am privileged to serve. I own that. I have many flaws," Shirkey said. "Being passionate coupled with an occasional lapse in restraint of tongue are at least two of them."

Just like any politician. He isn't sorry he said it, he is sorry he got caught.
