"It is clear federal law is currently inadequate on swatting incidents whether to schools, public figures, or Members of Congress. Such law must be updated. In addition, Congress must address the total failure of federal law enforcement agencies to deal with these violent threats."

China's Increased Bullying of Philippines to Test US Resolve - Gatestone Institute - Lawrence A. Franklin 
- "Despite the allegedly warm atmosphere of the San Francisco Summit between China's Communist Party leader Xi Jinping and US President Joseph Biden, the Chinese dictator reportedly told Biden, "that Beijing will reunify Taiwan with mainland China but that the timing has not yet been decided," and "that China's preference is to take Taiwan peacefully, not by force."

Douglas Golden"On Thursday, the Maine Board of Environmental Protection was set to meet to discuss and potentially finalize a California-style electric vehicle mandate that would start in 2027 and force 82 percent of new vehicles to have zero emissions by the 2032 model year, according to the Portland Press Herald.
