We’re not entering a new Cold War with China, though it might be better if we were. At least the 20th-century struggle between the West and USSR had clear sides and a single goal: world domination. After decades of deepening ties and building bridges to the West, China is turning inward. It’s expanding its military, developing sophisticated new weapons and growing more belligerent. It’s starting to feel as if the arms races and power struggles of the old Soviet-American rivalry have come roaring back, Beijing taking Moscow’s former place at the heart of the communist world.

Biden: A Proxy War with Russia Is Not Enough. We Must Also Seek War with China: If you need any more evidence that U.S. foreign policy is completely out of control, look no further than Commander-in-Chief Biden’s latest pronouncements regarding Taiwan, which is not a country.

Only 40% of Texas’ rural hospitals offer labor and delivery services, forcing some patients to drive hundreds of miles to give birth.
