Vice President Kamala Harris
Harris will spearhead the White House's immigration portfolio so that Mexico and the Northern Triangle will know "there is one single figure dedicated to this effort," a senior administration official said.
Biden announced the move on Wednesday from the White House after meeting with Harris, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and several other immigration advisers.

"The president said we are really concerned. Any country will be concerned with that number of ships," presidential spokesman Harry Roque told a regular news conference on Thursday.
According to Roque, President Rodrigo Duterte had raised the issue with the Chinese envoy to the Philippines and Beijing said the ships had been forced to move into the Philippines-claimed territory because of "bad weather."
The basis for these sanctions is listed as "human rights" violations in Xinjiang province, as US Secretary of State Tony Blinken explains:
"Amid growing international condemnation, the PRC continues to commit genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang. The United States reiterates its calls on the PRC to bring an end to the repression of Uyghurs, who are predominantly Muslim, and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang, including by releasing all those arbitrarily held in internment camps and detention facilities."Blinken's allegations are unfounded, as explained in this recent article from The Grayzone and in this comprehensive video by the Youtube channel Bay Area 415. While it's entirely possible that human rights violations could be happening in Xinjiang in some form and to some extent, the extremely flimsy and blatantly manipulated evidence we've seen so far for western claims of "genocide" and "crimes against humanity" should draw immediate incredulity from anyone who remembers the lead-up to the Iraq invasion. The only sane response to unfounded claims by known liars is skepticism and agnosticism until we are presented with proof that rises to the level required in a post-Iraq invasion world.

Tracey O’Mahoney
Highly respected Irish barrister Tracey O'Mahoney has conducted an analysis of the proposal to reveal extremely worrying possibilities (or impossibilities) that lay in wait for those who will say no to the jab. In her YouTube presentation, she implores her audience to contact the Members of the European Parliament to demand that they refrain from giving the nod to this Orwellian law. I implore you to do the same.
A vote for this ugly apartheid system, which is currently in place in Israel and is proven to have already created a wave of discrimination and bias, is a vote for the Davos cult and a blow to the sovereignty of Irish people and of individualism. It is a vote against liberal democracy and a further step towards tyranny and oppression.
This is being addressed presently in Israel, with a law firm taking it towards the International Criminal Court, citing violations of the Nuremberg Code.
Comment: Few countries in the world are as far along in rolling out the Totalitarian policies of the virus as Israel.
But more individuals are now speaking up loud and clear about the rapid transition towards overt and covert oppression in the name of health safety:

The Secret Service said it has no record of agents investigating the Hunter Biden incident and said President Biden was not under protection at the time.
The Secret Service said it has no record of agents investigating the Hunter Biden incident and said President Biden was not under protection at the time.
When she returned to retrieve the gun, it was gone, Politico reported on Thursday.
Police in Delaware launched an investigation in case the gun, left in a trash can across from a high school, had been used in a crime, the report said.
But Secret Service agents contacted the owner of the store where Hunter bought the gun and asked to take the paperwork recording the sale, Politico reported.

In an interview with the Armory of the Fatherland magazine, Andrei Ilnitsky, an adviser at the country's Ministry of Defense, said that the West was acutely aware of the size of Russia's arsenal of rockets and its modern, well-equipped troops. As a result, he said, there is little to no prospect of a genuine armed conflict between rival spheres within the next decade.
However, he declared, "all this has led to the emergence of a new type of war." In the past, "the goal of wars was to destroy the enemy's manpower, then, in modern cyber wars, it became about destroying the enemy's infrastructure."

Merkel announced the changes after an impromptu videoconference with the 16 regional leaders in which she explained the U-turn and said the mistake was ultimately hers to answer for.
What did Merkel say?
During a press conference, Merkel said the Easter lockdown was formed "with the best of intentions," but on closer analysis, the planned shutdown risked doing more harm than good.
"It was well reasoned, but was not really doable in such a short time," Merkel said of the Easter measures. "Far too many questions, from missing wages through to the loss of time in factories and facilities, could not be adequately answered in time."

US President Joe Biden
US President Joe Biden
Jackson shared his concerns about Biden's condition in a tweet on Sunday afternoon.
"I served as White House physician under THREE Presidents. I've seen what it takes physically AND mentally to do the job. I can tell you right now that the way Biden is hiding from the public is a MAJOR red flag. Something's not right!" he wrote.
Jackson's remarks followed a series of physical and verbal gaffes from Biden in recent days. The president recently attracted scrutiny after he was captured on tape stumbling up the steps leading to Air Force One on Friday. White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield wrote on Twitter after the incident saying Biden "is fine," adding that the fall was "nothing more than a misstep on the stairs."
The president has also suffered verbal missteps, referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as "president" last week.
Comment: The emperor has no clothes. And dementia.
Comment: The big tech corporations are in fact the ones who decide who will be on the top of the country. They were the ones who meddled in the last presidential elections in the USA and are still censoring Donald Trump on social media.
In this era when almost all our activities are digitalized and online, the big tech corporations became so powerful that they are a threat to our personal rights and personal freedom. This coronavirus plandemic is showing us how powerful and fast can they be in spreading the desired misinformation agenda of the PTB when needed.
