And to be clear I don't think Trump or the RINOs have much else better on offer.

Biden's fumbled Afghanistan withdrawal was a propaganda gift to China, Defense Department finds
Biden's botched Afghanistan withdrawal was among the lowest points in his presidency

President Biden's fumbled withdrawal from Afghanistan was a propaganda gift to China, his Defense Department found Tuesday.

The DOD's claim came as part of its annual report to Congress on national security developments relating to China, which it released Tuesday. The report suggests that China capitalized on the withdrawal to convince world leaders that the U.S. is not a reliable ally.

"The PRC employed multiple diplomatic tools in an attempt to erode U.S. and partner influence," the report reads, including "highlighting the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan."

Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan was among the lowest points in his presidency, with 13 soldiers dying in a suicide bombing while protecting the Kabul airport in the evacuation.

Biden family stockings omit Hunter's out-of-wedlock daughter for second year in a row
Hunter Biden initially denied being the father, claiming in a 2021 memoir that he had no recollection of meeting the mother

The Biden White House has officially hung its Christmas stockings, but the holiday decorations are absent one family member: Hunter Biden’s out-of-wedlock daughter.

First Lady Jill Biden displayed the decorations on Monday, writing that the White House hopes "to capture the spirit embodied in the very of America: We the People."

The nine stockings above the White House fireplace include the president’s son Hunter, his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle and their three daughters: Naomi, Finnegan, and Maisy. It also includes Noami’s new husband, Peter Neal, as well the two children of the president’s late son Beau and his widow, Hallie.

Not included, for the second year in a row, in the family line-up was Hunter Biden’s four-year-old daughter Navy Jones Roberts, whom he had with former stripper Lunden Roberts in 2018.

Biden administration to co-host second democracy summit next year

The United States will co-host a second “Summit for Democracy” next year, the White House has announced, with the goal of strengthening democratic institutions and fighting corruption around the world.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Biden administration said the event on March 29 and 30 would be co-hosted by Costa Rica, the Netherlands, South Korea and Zambia.

“During the ‘Year of Action’ following the first Summit for Democracy in December 2021, the United States and over 100 partner governments around the world have taken meaningful steps to build more resilient democracies, combat corruption and defend human rights,” the statement said.

“Summit participants have undertaken important pro-democracy reforms at home, contributed to impactful multilateral initiatives, and worked together to resist authoritarian aggression, including Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified war against Ukraine.”

US President Joe Biden gathered more than 100 world leaders during the inaugural summit on December 9 and 10, 2021, urging world leaders to “lock arms” to bolster democracy and prevent a “backward slide” from continuing.

Biden made a similar plea in the leadup to the US midterms earlier this month, telling Americans that democracy was “on the ballot” amid election denialism and the violence such false claims have inspired in the country.

The first “Summit for Democracy” took place at the end of a tumultuous year that saw supporters of former President Donald Trump storm the US Capitol in an effort to stop Congress from certifying Biden’s election victory.

Trump, who has announced a bid to seek the presidency again in 2024, has continued to parrot his false election fraud claims, which a sizeable portion of US voters still believe.

Biden’s attempt to be a leader in promoting global democracy despite a backslide in trust in US democratic institutions has raised questions among some observers.

“We have a real crisis of credibility with the US, as Joe Biden would have it, taking its seat at the head of the table and discussing democracy,” Daniel Adler, general coordinator at Progressive International, told Al Jazeera’s The Bottom Line programme last year.

Yup, they absolutely did, which is likely one of the reasons they humiliated Republicans so badly in the midterms
