PJ Media: Biden Campaign Hires Embattled Former White House Aide

The same man who threatened to “destroy” a reporter and made misogynistic comments to her has been hired by Biden's 2024 re-election campaign as a senior communications adviser.

Trump is attempting to defeat the "cult of gender ideology" as he runs for his second term, a polarizing issue that could impact the 2024 presidential election.

Live Action founder Lila Rose advises voters to vote with their conscience in the 2024 presidential election and argues that Donald Trump is backsliding on the pro-life movement, despite his involvement in overturning Roe v. Wade. In the last year, Rose said that the pro-life movement had made many steps forward, including the enactment of 360 pro-life bills in state legislatures and 24,000 fewer abortions post-Dobbs. However, Rose emphasizes the need to protect unborn children through complete legal protection. She also criticizes blind loyalty from some diehard Trump supporters over his record on abortion and pro-life issues.

The Epoch Times: Xi Calling Bill Gates 'An Old Friend' Is Not a Compliment: Expert
Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Bill Gates in Beijing, referring to him as an "old friend," although author Jon Pelson suggests this is not a compliment. In a statement, Pelson explains that a "friend of China" is someone who is on board with China's goals and objectives, and is aligned with what China is trying to achieve; someone who becomes a friend of China is not necessarily a good thing. While different in agenda, businesses in capitalist societies look to China to make profits, often aligning closely with the CCP’s kind of way of working rules.
The Chinese government and businesses alike, however, both pose a risk to companies dependent on China, often resulting in supply chain disruption. As a result, companies must make sure they're not reliant on someone who sees them as an enemy. The dangers of relying on Chinese supply chains include vulnerability to any disruption of supply chain, which could impact pharmaceuticals, electronics, components or technology, and ultimately have a negative effect on a company's economy.

The Epoch Times: Michael Taube: Saskatchewan’s Success With Uranium Could Be Alberta’s Renewed Success With the Oilsands
Saskatchewan has become the second largest producer of uranium in the world, surpassing Namibia and Australia. The increase in uranium production is expected to double and provide more jobs and opportunities. Canada's economic potential in mining, oil and gas exploration, and energy independence is highlighted. However, Alberta's untapped oilsands reserves and historical divisions have limited development. Politically motivated environmental groups and anti-oil activists have ignored new technological advances in the oil and gas industry that could make it safer, more effective, and cleaner. Developing Alberta's unproven reserves would increase overall oil production, profits, and job opportunities. Saskatchewan's success with uranium could be a motivating factor for Alberta's potential success with the oilsands.
