WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President-elect Joe Biden’s incoming secretary of state, Antony Blinken, is set to pledge on Tuesday that he will work to revitalize damaged American diplomacy and build a united front to counter the challenges posed by Russia, China and Iran. 

In a speech a day before Democrat Biden takes over from Republican Donald Trump, whose four-year tenure was marked by unilateral American action that often upset allies, Blinken will pledge to act together with them and with humility. Blinken, 58, a veteran foreign policy hand who is a close confidant of Biden, will also explain why U.S. leadership is vital for the world, while promising a foreign policy that will deliver for the American people.

Leftists Boogaloos and ANTIFA were at Capitol Hill.

They arrested one ANTIFA and left his sidekick alone. They left the Boogaloo alone. Law enforcement appears very one sided and uneven.

Fred,

Remember all those end of snow predictions?


In 2000, climate scientist David Viner with the University of East Anglia told reporters, “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is.” Viner argued global warming would make snowfall “a very rare and exciting event”.

21 years later and there is still snow. it could be 2080 and still have snow and you won't believe that Viner is wrong. You are what is technically known as a slow learner.

25 Years Of Predicting The Global Warming ‘Tipping Point’


In 2006 Al Gore predicted Kilimanjaro in Africa would be snow-free. It still has snow. Al Gore earned a big fat juicy D in college science and fools still believe him.

I just went to Google maps and verified that Kilimanjaro still has snow. Other people will not use Google Maps. They are too busy googling other ***ahem*** things.
