Bad judgement, bad decisions, bad government are not restricted to American politicians

UK offers pathetic response to Chinese diplomats’ attack, sending bad signal for US special relationship

“…The British government showed alarming deference to China on Wednesday when it absurdly claimed to have shown strength as Beijing withdrew diplomats involved in an attack on pro-democracy protesters. The October attack occurred outside and within China’s Consulate in the English city of Manchester. It was serious, involving one protester being dragged into the consulate grounds and beaten. The conduct of China’s diplomats represented an outrageous breach of both diplomatic convention and English law. And its Manchester Consul-General Zheng Xiyuan was directly involved. In response, British police requested that China waive diplomatic immunity for the officials involved so that they could be interviewed. China refused. But rather than immediately expelling the diplomats in response, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s government has since sat idle…”

Another Democrat mega-donor turns out to be common crook. Democrats prefer not to notice.

WH won’t say if Biden will return 2020 donations from Sam Bankman-Fried

“…White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wouldn’t say Tuesday whether President Biden would ask his aides to return 2020 campaign contributions from accused cryptocurrency con man Sam Bankman-Fried, whom the Justice Department has charged with swindling investors out of at least $1.8 billion.

Bankman-Fried, 30, was one of the Democratic Party’s biggest donors and even met with Biden’s White House advisers before his FTX currency exchange collapsed in one of the largest alleged frauds in American business history…”

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good Run of Bad Luck Continues

“…It has been a bad couple of months for BlackRock and its CEO, Larry Fink. Earlier this quarter, one analyst downgraded its stock due to the risk posed by Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing. Several states have announced they will remove pensions and other state treasury funds from the asset manager. Last week, the firm was subpoenaed by the Texas State Senate. Finally, on Friday, North Carolina Treasurer Dale Folwell called for BlackRock CEO Larry Fink to step down in a bombshell letter addressed to the investment company’s Board of Directors, which includes Fink…”

Covid: Jack Last died as result of AstraZeneca vaccine – coroner

“…“Senior coroner Nigel Parsley recorded a narrative conclusion at Suffolk Coroner’s Court. He said: ‘Jack Last died of a blood clot to the brain, caused as a direct result of his body’s reaction to the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccination which he had received on March 30, 2021.’ Speaking after the two-day inquest, the solicitor working on behalf of the family said they would be pursuing a clinical negligence case against the hospitals involved in Mr Last’s care.”…”

The GOP Has Ghosted FBI Whistleblowers

“…Did you think that the GOP establishment was actually going to investigate the FBI? Hey, I know that they promised to really do something about the corruption of our national security state before the midterm elections — but come on people.

Those are campaign promises.

It’s like Kevin McCarthy not having enough votes to become House Speaker — suddenly he promises to subpoena the 50 intelligence agents who lied about the Hunter Biden laptop, and he announces this promise at the same time that he’s handing out medals to cops for participating in the January 6th federal insurrection orchestrated by the FBI!…”

Journalism – AP and Reuters style

Cuban dictatorship arrests refugees trying to escape on a raft, Reuters reports they were ‘rescued.’

“…neither the AP nor Reuters made a single mention of a similar but much more deadly incident that took place in Bahia Honda in October. Less than two months ago, the Cuban Coast Guard rammed a boat filled with Cuban refugees escaping the island in Bahia Honda, sinking the vessel and killing 7 refugees, including a 2-year-old toddler. That incident has come to known as the Bahia Honda Massacre. But reporters for both the AP and Reuters know that if they mention this in their reporting, their press credentials will be removed, and they’ll get kicked off the island.”…”
