Biden's Secretary of State Antony Blinken is going to China. Here are the Alexes discussing its ramifications.

Oh, that's a good look. Threaten China with sanctions when three months ago you were asking China for help dealing with Yemen. The Alexes do really well to explain why the Blinken visit is not a good idea. All that Chinese stockpiling! And the Blinken visit comes hot on the heels of that Congressional appropriation of $8.1 billion in military stuff for Taiwan. (Yes, I remember that Congress completely rolled over -- not just for escalation in Taiwan and more bombs for genocide, but also for Joe's failed war in Ukraine. As Moon of Alabama stated: "one wonders what means the deep state used to push Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and Trump, into this full capitulation.")

The two-hour-plus Revolutionary Blackout Network podcast of last night begins with the discussion of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez' speech to protesters.

Of course, AOC is also totally tight with Joe Biden, who uses the standard "antisemitism" line when discussing protesters and who has made genocide possible for the past 200 or so days. Ocasio-Cortez is a lesson in how one can get so completely involved in image-polishing that one can be both for and against genocide. (Of course, the action part of this contradiction favors the "for" end of it.)

(If you were wondering why I linked to the Washington Examiner, this is because the more straightforward headline used by the Revolutionary Blackout Network is for a story in the Times of Israel.)

As for the physical Joe Biden, he's attacking Donald Trump on abortion rights in a campaign stop in Tampa, Florida. Biden, we must remember, had a chance to push through a codification of Roe v. Wade before the 2022 midterms, when his party had majorities in both houses of Congress. I guess it wasn't important enough. At any rate, abortion rights are now a matter of state politics. Is Joe Biden thinking of a run for Governor somewhere?

And then there's this other pitch voiced in Biden's campaign visit: "Biden slams Trump, asks 'Who would lead if US stepped off world stage?'". However, it might seem to observers who have been paying attention or something that the US has already stepped off of the world stage, and that it has done so during Biden's tenure as President.
