Why is Biden sending money to China and Russia?

 Fox Business:

An American farmer is speaking out after the Biden administration reportedly sent billions to U.S. adversaries.

During an appearance on "Fox & Friends First," National Black Farmers Association President John Boyd Jr. ripped the Biden administration for dispensing money to China and Russia, arguing that the president has done nothing but deliver "empty promises" to the farming community.

"It's a real slap in the face. Here you have American farmers losing their farms and right here in the United States with this. Last year alone, we lost over 10,000 farms in the United States and this administration had done nothing but give us broken promises here," Boyd Jr. argued, Friday.

"We're losing our farms in America. And this administration is giving money to Chinese producers, Russia, hand over fist. What does that say to America's farmers right here at home? Why can't we help America's farmers at home first? That's what we've been asking for from this administration. And the Biden administration has failed American farmers right here in the United States," Boyd Jr. continued.

OKLAHOMA GOP SENATOR SOUNDS ALARM OVER CHINA'S FARMLAND PURCHASES: US MUST 'PAY ATTENTION'

A new report released by Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, and Open the Books claims over the past five years the White House has sent at least $1.3 billion to China and Russian entities – including $1.6 million awarded to Chinese food producers under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National School Lunch Program that is designed to help American farmers.

The analysis revealed that millions of taxpayer dollars have been given to, among others, a Chinese software developer for military tech support, a Russian health insurance provider that has since been sanctioned and Chinese agriculture companies. It also showed the federal government gave $2 million, more than previously reported, to the Chinese state-run Wuhan lab studying bat coronaviruses.

Boyd Jr. urged the American people to wake up to the "terribly wrong" picture the Biden administration is painting for the farm community.

"Something is terribly, terribly wrong with this picture and we have to look at what's really going on. The American farmer is suffering right here, with the highest input costs we've had in our nation's history for America's farms. We are here struggling, and we're managing to help countries like China and Russia, America's two biggest adversaries," he warned.
...

This looks like more evidence of Biden's dementia.  It looks like it will take another election to return US spending to sanity.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
