[LI] President Joe Biden’s UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield says America must acknowledge its own failures before it joins the UN Human Rights Council.
"I’ve seen for myself how the original sin of slavery weaved white supremacy into our founding documents and principles," declared Thomas-Greenfield.
"When we raise issues of equity and justice at the global scale we have to approach them with humility," she said. "We have to acknowledge that we are an imperfect union and have been since the beginning and every day we strive to make ourselves more perfect."
"My great grandmother, Mary Thomas, born in 1865, was the child of a slave, just three generations back from me," she said. "I grew up in the segregated South, where I was bused to a segregated school."
"On the weekends, the Klan burned crosses on lawns in our neighborhoods," she continued, explaining that she shared these details "to acknowledge on the international stage that [she has] personally experienced one of America’s greatest imperfections."
Our Founders were not perfect, but I do not see slavery anywhere in our founding documents.
You’ve read my blogs where I praised Thomas Jefferson’s careful crafting of our founding documents. He wrote "pursuit of happiness" instead of property. "Creator" instead of God.

Actually it 'wove' victimhood and entitlement into our modern-day society. Our "documents and principles" are rapidly being modified in support of this popular leftest theme.
A similar 'blame game' has been playing out in the former states of colonial Africa for decades. Many hold with the theory, had European colonials not attempted to exploit the continent, it would not be the kakhole it is today.

This wave is of Central and South Americans. The pre-Cortez Aztec line was a damn good fence against 'migration'. See - I left my heart in Tenochtitlan.
And Africans, Asians, Middle Easterners, Indian subcontinense... The doors have been flung open, and those with enough money are paying their weekly charter flight fare plus several thousand dollars to the coyotes to grab the opportunity before another Republican president slams it closed again.
[Breitbart] China’s state-run Global Times publication raised the possibility in a long-form "investigation" on Thursday that the Chinese coronavirus originated in Europe and arrived in Wuhan in October 2019, when the city hosted the World Military Games.
The Global Times admitted the conspiracy theory was "not solidly supported by hard evidence" and quoted a biology expert at Wuhan University, who stated that anonymous Wuhan residents blaming foreign countries for the Chinese coronavirus pandemic were perpetuating the conspiracy theory elsewhere in the same article had "no scientific evidence to prove the claims."
Despite this, the state propaganda outlet cited a World Health Organization (W.H.O.) report published in March that mentioned the possibility of the World Military Games, or another mass event, introducing the novel coronavirus to the city of Wuhan.
That same report states, "no appreciable signals of clusters of fever or severe respiratory disease requiring hospitalization were identified during review" of any mass event held in Wuhan in late 2019, a quote omitted from the Global Times investigation.
The W.H.O. report, based on research conducted by both W.H.O. scientists and Chinese Communist Party operatives in Wuhan in January 2021, concluded that the likeliest scenario in which the Chinese coronavirus began infecting humans is through contact with an animal that had been infected by a third party, the original host of the virus, in China. The report dismissed other conspiracy theories posed by Communist Party officials — namely, that imported meat from abroad or a leak at a U.S. military laboratory triggered the pandemic — as unlikely. It also appeared to dismiss the possibility that the virus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), a laboratory known to have been studying coronaviruses prior to the first outbreak of the novel coronavirus in the city. The latter prompted a rare rebuke by W.H.O. Secretary-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who urged his agency to probe the matter further.
The Chinese coronavirus typically affects the respiratory system, triggering fever, difficulty breathing, and other symptoms similar to other known coronaviruses, like those responsible for Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). The Global Times attempted to make the case that a gastroenteritis diagnosis at the World Military Games may have been an early Chinese coronavirus case. Gastroenteritis affects the digestive system and causes vomiting and diarrhea.
"According to the W.H.O. report, during the Military Games, four African participants were diagnosed and treated for malaria, and one American citizen presented with gastroenteritis," the Global Times noted. Malaria is a parasitic disease that does sometimes present fever, chills, and "respiratory distress," but is easily diagnosed by the presence of plasmodium parasites, according to the W.H.O.

I call BS everyone out of the CCP Kool Aide Pool.
After reading The LANCET Report of the C-19
it was made clear the 1st 20+ Infected persons were ALL Chinese.
South China News Reported
Coronavirus: China’s first confirmed Covid-19 case traced back to November 17 2019.
The World Military Games:
Opening ceremony 18 October 2019
Closing ceremony 27 October 2019
But no reports of C-19 related illnesses between Oct. 2019 to Nov. 16th, 2019 for any NON-Chinese.
No Country reported strangely infected military athletes or deaths. Other than the common 3rd world'ers with Malaria and a USA citizen with a Stomach Bug/Food Poisoning.

Pooh-bear, the secret to lying is to pick a story and stick with it. Earlier you claimed your flu came from the US, but now that you have the Bei-Den Satrapy, you switch to the Euros. I thought you guys were supposed to be subtle.

Hard to be subtle when responding to the media changing the message every five minutes, Mercutio.

Lin Zexu (Lin Tse-Hsü) (1839 CE) Letter of Advice to Queen Victoria The kings of your honorable country by a tradition handed down from generation to generation have always been noted for their politeness and submissiveness.
[Western Journal] On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021, part of President Joe Biden’s proposed suite of gun control legislation announced last month.
Even the name of the bill was a farce; in terms of "bipartisan support," the Democrats got eight Republican votes for the measure requiring background checks on all commercial gun sales. That’s less than they got to impeach former President Donald Trump.
Not only that, it drew significant ire from Republicans, with freshman GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado noting the checks were "only meant to turn law-abiding citizens into criminals."
[Babylon Bee] LOS ANGELES, CA—BLM co-founder and "trained Marxist" Patrisse Cullors has called for defunding the police in response to police shootings. She later clarified, however, that she only supports abolishing police in all the areas where she doesn't live.
"The police in my wealthy white area of LA can stay," she said. "And the ones around my home in Atlanta. Also, the ones who protect my other home in Albany. I think I have a fourth house too, but I can't remember where it is. Wherever it is, the police there can stick around as well."
According to sources, Cullors needs all these properties for her important work, and to hide from the urban hellscapes where police are being defunded.
"I need a lot of houses. All good Marxists have a lot of houses!" said Cullors.
Police have assured Cullors that they will remain at full strength in the wealthy, majority-white neighborhoods where she lives.
Bernie Sanders reportedly condemned Cullors after finding out she now has more houses than he does.
[Babylon Bee] MONTPELIER, VT—In an address from one of his homes, Bernie Sanders condemned BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors for getting rich off politics and buying four homes.
After it came out that the co-founder of the movement had purchased multiple large homes, Sanders quickly held a press conference condemning her "callous and unfair profiteering."
"No one in politics should be able to profit off their followers and buy four homes," Sanders said as he looked out at the quaint Vermont lake near one of his many, many houses. "Four homes? That's ridiculous. Who needs four homes!? No one, that's who. Three homes, now, fine, you might have an argument. I could see needing a home near your office, a home in your hometown, and maybe a quiet retreat up in the mountains. Near a lake perhaps. That makes sense. Any politician could use three houses. You're practically still poor at that point."
"But four? People who own four homes are the problem with this country."
Sanders then said he was proposing legislation that anyone who owns four homes be banished to Toledo, Ohio for the rest of their days, while people who own just three homes have statues erected in their honor for their brave fight against capitalism and injustice.
[Townhall] Wars often arise from uncertainty. When strong countries appear weak, truly weaker ones take risks they otherwise would not.
Sloppy braggadocio and serial promises of restraint can trigger wars, too. Empty tough talk can needlessly egg on aggressors. But mouthing utopian bromides convinces bullies that their targets are too sophisticated to counter aggression.
Sometimes announcing "a new peace process" without any ability to bring either novel concessions or pressures only raises false hopes -- and furor.
Every new American president is tested to determine whether the United States can still protect friends such as Europe, Japan, South Korea and Israel. And will the new commander in chief deter U.S. enemies Iran and North Korea -- and keep China and Russia from absorbing their neighbors?
Joe Biden, and those around him, seem determined to upset the peace they inherited.
Soon after Donald Trump left office, Vladimir Putin began massing troops on the Ukrainian border and threatening to attack.
Putin earlier had concluded that Trump was dangerously unpredictable, and perhaps best not provoked. After all, the Trump administration took out Russian mercenaries in Syria. It beefed up defense spending and upped sanctions.
The Trump administration flooded the world with cheap oil to Russia's chagrin. It pulled out from asymmetrical missile treaties with Russia. It sold sophisticated arms to the Ukrainians. The Russians concluded that Trump might do anything, and so waited for another president before again testing America.
In contrast, Biden often talks provocatively -- while carrying a twig. He has gratuitously called Putin "a killer." And he warned that the Russian dictator "will pay a price" for supposedly interfering in the 2020 election.
Unfortunately, Biden's bombast follows four years of a Russian-collusion hoax, fueled by a concocted dossier paid for by the Democratic National Committee and the campaign of 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Biden and others claimed Trump was, in the words of Barack Obama's former director of national intelligence, James Clapper, a "Russian asset."

Go ahead Joe, fumble into war created by you and yours insanity about Russian collusion. I foresee the headlines, Blue cities hit hardest! The rest of us will muddle through.

Putin never dissed Trump. Trump never dissed Putin.
Everyone who ever dealt with Putin's predecessors during the Soviet era agreed that the one thing that was intolerable to those leaders was insulting their pride and honor. No matter how corrupt or brutal, every Soviet leader saw himself as upholding the sacred honor, earned in blood, of the nation that saved the world from Hitler.
And now we have an obscene little man, a demented corrupt buffoon famous only for his lies and self-aggrandize get bullshit, going up to the Russian president and calling him "a killer."

Sad that we've burned out the troops with so many deployments and pussified so many within the US military leadership at this point.
Sunnovabitch can't even put a boot on the correct 'sprained ankle'.
Remember when Kerry bumbled our way OUT of war?
I'm all for a face to face between Putin and Biden. Heck even Biden's stunt double. Pay per view, proceeds go to the swksvolFF Proper Fishing Boat Foundation.
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] If the US pulls out of Afghanistan this year, as President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier... has now promised will occur by Sept. 11, it will mark the end of the military intervention that launched America’s two-decade "global war on terror." It will not, however, end the threat that war was launched to address.
Americans typically view the Middle East as the seedbed of terrorism. But a recent attack in Mozambique underscores that Africa is becoming the central front in the ongoing struggle between terrorist groups and their enemies, even as Washington shifts its attention to other problems.

I'd be more concern about here, Charlie is in the wire (Antifa/BLM).

Oh look, a backup war to make sure the money doesn't stop flowing.
These problems are caused by African governments abusing their people. Has nothing to do with us and getting involved and killing people will just make the problem worse. Africa won't change until Africans want it to.
