On Thursday, President Biden signed what will undoubtedly be the signature and most critical legislation of his presidency, namely the $1.9 trillion Cares Act of 2021. In fact, it is so comprehensive that economists are hailing it for doing as much to alleviate poverty as to combat Covid. Here in part is how CNN reported… Read more.
The Chinese government’s alleged actions in Xinjiang have violated every single provision in the United Nations’ Genocide Convention, according to an independent report by more than 50 global experts in human rights, war crimes and international law.
