Yellen..

 

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will travel to Beijing later this week for meetings with senior Chinese officials, the Treasury Department said Sunday, as the U.S. tries to ease friction between the two countries.

Yellen’s trip, scheduled for Thursday to Sunday, follows a visit last month by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. President Joe Biden met with Xi in November.

While in Beijing, Secretary Yellen will discuss with [People’s Republic of China] officials the importance for our countries — as the world’s two largest economies — to responsibly manage our relationship, communicate directly about areas of concern, and work together to address global challenges,” Treasury said in a statement.

 The President, Biden,  said Xi as a dictator. So what are we expecting here?

Declare..

 
The most direct power Congress has is the power to declare war. The principle behind this is that no one person should put the burden of war on the entire country, and such a choice should instead require the masses’ approval. 

As U.S. Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story wrote in 1838, “[I]t should therefore be difficult in a republic to declare war; but not to make peace.” This is why the Constitution grants Congress the power to declare war and not the president.

There have been multiple wars over the last eight decades without a declaration of war from Congress.

In some cases, Congress gave a different form of authorization, or the president moved forward with military action without congressional approval. 

In response, Congress passed the “War Powers Resolution,” which modernized the declaration of war power and proscribed rules for when the president can use the military to engage in combat. 

The congress gave up their responsibilities to follow up on major issues in the country, like failed impeachments, ... The responsibilities fell in the hands or picked up by some.....       Just a thought.

Morsi..

 

Anti-government protesters in Egypt have stormed the national headquarters of President Mohammed Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood in the capital, Cairo.

The crowds seen in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Sunday were the biggest since the 2011 revolution that toppled Hosni Mubarak.

The al-Watan website said the ministers of tourism, environment, communication and legal affairs had acted "in solidarity with the people's demand to overthrow the regime".

Protesters across Egypt accuse the president of failing to tackle economic and security problems since being elected a year ago.

Substance..

 

Substance found in White House library which tests positive for cocaine. 

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told the Washington Post that more tests will be conducted to confirm that the substance is in fact cocaine. 

A Secret Service agent found the powder during a routine sweep of the premises.

First son Hunter Biden, 53, who has acknowledged a prior addiction to crack cocaine, was on the White House grounds Friday before heading off to Camp David with his father for the holiday weekend.

The White House became like the Bronx here, you don't know what is coming in.

It is worth to follow how the various response to this issue evolves. just a thought.

Colluded..

 

U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty granted a preliminary injunction barring a wide swath of officials from the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Justice, the State Department and the FBI from communicating with the Media companies.

Republican attorneys general of Louisiana and Missouri are suing the administration over what they describe as a “campaign of censorship,” in which the Biden administration allegedly “coordinated and colluded with social-media platforms to identify disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content.”

The attorneys general pointed to various calls by the 2020 Biden campaign and later the Biden administration, as well other Democratic lawmakers, to reform Section 230 over the spread of disinformation, which the lawsuit characterized as “threats” and a “campaign of pressure.”           (The Hill - JULIA SHAPERO 07/04/23)
