Destroy..

 

In a sharp escalation over the migrant crisis, Mayor Eric Adams claimed in stark terms that New York City was being destroyed by an influx of 110,000 asylum seekers from the southern border and said that he did not see a way to fix the issue.

“Let me tell you something New Yorkers, never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to — I don’t see an ending to this,” the mayor said in his opening remarks at a town hall-style gathering in Manhattan. “This issue will destroy New York City.”

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is knocking New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) for his recent complaints over the influx of migrants in the city, claiming he “could not last a week in Texas.” 

Asked on Fox News’s “Jesse Watters Primetime” about Adams recently calling the Texas governor a “madman” for busing migrants to New York, Abbott said, “When I first heard that, I thought about Frank Sinatra singing ‘New York, New York,’ when he’s saying, ‘If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere.’”

“Well, the mayor may have made it to be mayor of New York, but he could not last a week in Texas,” he continued. “They have so few migrants in New York compared to what we deal with every single day.”

Adams has repeatedly called for more state and federal help to address New York City’s migrant crisis, which he claimed last week “will destroy” the city. His office said last week that more than 110,000 asylum-seekers have arrived in the city since spring 2022. 

The Split..

 

 President Joe Biden failed at a weekend summit in India to unite world leaders around a condemnation of Russia's war in Ukraine, drawing a rebuke from Kyiv and putting him on the defensive as he wrapped up a trip abroad.

Neither Russian President Vladimir Putin nor Chinese President Xi Jinping attended the New Delhi gathering for leaders of the world's most powerful economies, but even in their absence, Russia and China notched a win against the U.S. when it came to rallying the international community against the war that began more than a year and a half ago.

After the New Delhi summit, Biden traveled to Hanoi in a visit aimed at strengthening ties with Vietnam.  

So the G20 are looking forward to economics rather than ...war and containment.  

 Just a thought.

When the US imposed a severe embargo to cut off the supply of high-end chips to Huawei in 2020, many foresaw it being a counterproductive move by Washington. Yes, it might stifle the technological prowess of Huawei, but more than that, it would push the Chinese telecommunications giant to develop its chips more quickly.

Despite a slowdown, Huawei found a way to generate revenue outside its smartphone business over the years. It eventually proved to the world that obtaining US tech might be a ‘want’ for China, but certainly was not a ‘need’ for the superpower.

That is perhaps why experts expect the breakthrough in developing a new 5G processor in mainland China not only to prompt another round of investigation by Washington, but also to intensify the US-China tech war. It could also spark more debate in the US about the effectiveness of sanctions, and the way we use it.

A top US Treasury official is heading to Hong Kong as the White House continues its quest to ease tensions with Beijing and avoid a destabilizing crisis.

Joining a growing list of US officials visiting the region, Assistant US Treasury Secretary Brent Neiman is traveling to Hong Kong on Wednesday as part of an effort to “deepen ties between the world’s two largest economies,” a Treasury official tells CNN.

But are the Chinese officials trust what the administration says and does.

China hit back after U.S. President Joe Biden referred to President Xi Jinping as a "dictator", saying the remarks were absurd and a provocation, an unexpected flare-up following attempts by both sides to reduce friction.

Well over a decade has passed since the first prisoner arrived in Guantánamo Bay, making it the longest-standing war prison in U.S. history. 

Almost 800 men have passed through Guantánamo’s cells. Today, 40 men remain. Fashioned as an “island outside the law” where terrorism suspects could be detained without process and interrogated without restraint.

Guantánamo has been a catastrophic failure on every front. It is long past time for this shameful episode in American history to be brought to a close. ACLU.  Just a thought.
