Biden to Build Border Wall in Texas

October 5, 2023 U.S. President Joe Biden announced on Thursday that he will build a border wall in Texas. Biden, speaking at a press conference at the White House, said that the Texas border is "currently very vulnerable" and that the wall would help to stop illegal immigration and protect the border. Biden said that he plans to allocate $10 billion in federal funds to build the wall in Texas. The wall will be built along the Rio Grande River in Texas for about 100 miles (about 160 kilometers). Biden's decision to build a border wall is a reversal of his previous policy of opposing such a wall. Biden, who took office in January 2021, halted construction of the border wall that was built by former President Donald Trump and focused on providing humanitarian assistance to illegal immigrants. However, the recent surge in illegal immigration, particularly in Texas, appears to have led Biden to change course. Texas authorities arrested more than 100,000 illegal immigrants in J...

China Invites Other Countries to Join Space Station, Moon Exploration

October 5, 2023 China has invited other countries to join its Tiangong space station and its plans to explore the moon, in a move that is seen as an attempt to counter the United States' dominance in space. China's space program has made rapid progress in recent years, and it is now the world's second-largest space power. The Tiangong space station is scheduled to be completed in 2024, and China is planning to send a crewed mission to the moon in the early 2030s. In a speech on October 4, 2023, Chinese President Xi Jinping said that China is committed to "peaceful development of outer space" and that it is willing to work with other countries to "build a shared future in space." Xi's speech was seen as a direct response to the United States' Artemis program, which is a plan to return humans to the moon by 2025. The United States has been critical of China's space program, accusing China of militarizing space. China's invitation to other c...

China's Advanced UAV, GJ-2, Crosses Taiwan Strait Median Line for the First Time

October 5, 2023 China's advanced UAV, the GJ-2, crossed the Taiwan Strait median line for the first time on October 5, 2023. The GJ-2 is a long-range, high-altitude, unmanned combat aerial vehicle that is capable of carrying a variety of weapons, including air-to-ground missiles and bombs. The crossing of the median line by the GJ-2 is a significant escalation in tensions between China and Taiwan. The median line is a de facto border between the two sides, and its crossing is considered a violation of Taiwanese airspace. The Chinese government has not commented on the GJ-2's crossing of the median line. However, the move is likely to be seen as a warning to Taiwan that China is prepared to use force to prevent the island from declaring independence. The GJ-2's crossing of the median line is also a sign of China's growing military capabilities. The UAV is a powerful weapon that could be used to strike targets deep inside Taiwan. The crossing of the median line is likely ...

America's "Influencer Politics" Breeds the Far-Right Republican Party

October 5, 2023 The rise of the far-right Republican Party in the United States is being driven by a new form of politics known as "influencer politics." Influencer politics is a style of political communication that relies on social media and other online platforms to reach and mobilize voters. Influencer politics is characterized by its focus on personal attacks, emotional appeals, and conspiracy theories. It is also often used to spread misinformation and disinformation. The far-right Republican Party has been particularly successful in using influencer politics. This is because the party's base of support is largely made up of people who are already distrustful of traditional institutions and who are more likely to be persuaded by emotional appeals. Influencer politics has helped to fuel the rise of far-right figures such as Donald Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Lauren Boebert. These figures have used social media to spread their message of hate and division, and ...
