The Epoch Times: Presidential Records Act, Not Espionage Act, Applies to Classified Records Indictment Against Trump: Attorney
Former President Donald Trump's attorney, Jesse Binnall, has said that the indictment being pursued against Trump by the Biden Administration over classified records will not hold up against the law. Binnall states that Congress has been clear that the act that applies to Presidents and former Presidents is the Presidential Records Act, while everyone else is under the Espionage Act, which has different requirements. Trump is unable to be charged under the Espionage Act that the Department of Justice is pursuing, Binnall added. The DOJ alleges that Trump violated the Espionage Act and other laws after some classified documents were found in his Mar-a-Lago estate last summer. He allegedly had the right to declassify those records as President.

The Blaze: Whitlock: Joe Biden’s ‘nation of pride’ will inevitably collapse
America's prideful and ignorant culture is leading to its destruction. President Joe Biden tweeted that "America is a nation of pride" above a picture of a rainbow flag at the White House, but pride is a deadly sin and gateway drug to idolatry according to the Bible. Black, LGBTQ, and Jewish pride currently dominate American culture, and their shared goal is a new world order, a one-world government. Pride promotes division, idolatry, and cancel culture, with accusations of racism, homophobia, and anti-Semitism preventing exploration of healing truth. A nation of pride will not last.

Breitbart: Honduras Joins China’s Predatory Belt and Road Initiative
Honduras has officially joined China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), following the country's decision to break ties with long-time ally Taiwan. President Xi Jinping and President Xiomara Castro signed 17 bilateral agreements linking Honduras to BRI projects. China's BRI is controversial due to its "debt trap" loans which require countries to pay Chinese companies for infrastructure projects under unfavorable terms, eventually leading to inability to repay and allowing China to take over the projects or exert pressure and influence on countries. China has also expressed a willingness to sign a free trade agreement with Honduras and hopes to promote BRI projects throughout Latin America.

Foreign Policy: The New Washington Consensus on Trade Is Wrong
The Biden administration's shift toward protectionism as the primary objective for international economic policy threatens the US and global economy. The historical evidence shows that liberalized trade is central to economic growth, delivering tremendous value to American consumers and lifting 1 billion people out of extreme poverty. Biden's protectionist moves will fuel higher inflation, and a "green jobs" agenda comes with significant downside risk. Companies will push to expand government subsidies, and sectors dominated by subsidized firms will see less innovation and disruption. The US should instead deepen trade relations with key partners to check China's power, not abandon free trade.
