"When a transgender American posts a video about a brand of beer they enjoy and it leads to bomb threats, it's clear that level of violence and vitriol against transgender Americans has to stop," Jean-Pierre said during her daily press briefing.

#Washington Post: Biden, testing Xi, will bar Hong Kong’s leader from economic summit

— "The #WhiteHouse has decided it will bar Hong Kong’s top government official from attending a major economic summit in the #UnitedStates this fall, according to three U.S. officials familiar with the matter, in the latest test of President àBiden’s bid to reset relations with #China.

Chief Executive John Lee, along with 10 other #HongKong and Chinese officials, was sanctioned by Washington in 2020 after implementing a national security law, imposed by #Beijing, that enabled the targeting of pro-democracy leaders, tarnished the reputation of the courts and earned international condemnation as leaders sought to silence dissent.

Lee, then Hong Kong’s security chief, was elevated last year to chief executive, handpicked by Beijing to continue what critics say is a broader campaign of repression in the once-semiautonomous city. He has helped execute Beijing’s reimagining of the territory, where institutions from schools to the media now operate under new red lines that have eroded freedoms."

#Pentagon accused of blocking effort to hand #Russia #war #crimes #evidence to #ICC

Source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/08/pentagon-international-criminal-court-russia-war-crimes

The #Biden #WhiteHouse and state department have been a proponent of cooperation with the Hague-based ICC, as a means of holding Russian forces accountable for widespread war crimes, but the #defence department is firmly opposed on the grounds that the precedent could eventually be turned against US soldiers.

I'm so glad that it's clear who the good guys are, otherwise you might have doubts.

Donald #Trump is due in court today to face dozens of #felony counts of mishandling US àgovernment àsecrets.

The case is the most serious yet of a firestorm of #criminal probes threatening to derail his bid to win back the #WhiteHouse.

Trump will travel by motorcade for 25 minutes to the courthouse.

The former president is expected to deny 37 counts of unlawfully retaining classified documents and obstructing efforts to get them back

#ketgorjestani tells us about security preparations in Miami.

Trump's court appearance is unfolding against the backdrop of potential #protests and unrest.

Some high-profile backers have used barbed rhetoric to voice support.

Trump himself has encouraged supporters to join a planned protest Tuesday at the #Miami #courthouse.

Just like the clock work of Cheney, Bush and Clinton propaganda scenario, the white house spoke person used the report from CNN as the "fact" that Iran is building a drone factory in Russia able to produce upto 5000 units per year.

Of course the they "know" that the "raw material" is provided by Iran because "Russia lacks the ability to provide those" because of sanctions (as if Iran is not under similar sanctions).

But hey, Iraq had mobile chemical weapons, Gaddafi was comitting Genocide in Ben Ghazi and Syria used gas against AlQaeda affiliated White helmet. So this must be true too.

European officials are quietly preparing for the possibility Biden loses the next election

There’s still more than a year to go before U.S. voters head to the polls, but at the heart of the #European #Union, officials are already racing to get as much as possible done before any potential change of leadership in the #WhiteHouse.

“There is unprecedented close cooperation and coordination between the #EU and the current U.S. administration. It goes from official levels to the highest levels,” an EU official, who preferred to remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of the situation, told àCNBC.

“The EU is aware that this [cooperation] is not a given and such approach might change when there is someone like [former President Donald] #Trump in the White House again. And the EU tries to use this momentum to advance [a] number of files, topics where there are shared interests,” the official added.

Chinese ambassador in Tehran posted the news that the Saudi embassy in Tehran was opened today!

This is at least a week ahead of the planned reopening of the embassy of #SaudiArabia in #Tehran

In other news, Buden's national security advisor had a telephone conversation with BoneSaw MbS to discuss the current moves by KSA in regards to Iran and #Yemen.

Shortly after that, #WhiteHouse press secretary said that "US welcomes the negotiations to end the war in Yemen" without a word of their complete knowledge of it just a week ago.

The White House has released a Statement regarding the ongoing Protests and Civil Unrest across Israel tonight due to the firing of the Defense Minister; in the Statement they urge Israeli Leaders to come to some sort of “Compromise” as soon as possible

It's just sickening to see that the WH can't even now stand up against the fascist coalition of Netanyahu -BenGvir and condemn their push to turn Israel into a full blown fascist state well beyond it's apartheid practices in occupied territories.
