Four different pieces (full columns embedded in the headline links) about Biden and Pelosi and company on very much the wrong track.
Biden team leaves electric grid open to Chinese sabotage (May 24): Three Republican senators are sounding a desperately needed alarm about another example of the Biden administration showing dangerous deference to Red China.
The Republicans’ complaints should be merely the first step in what needs to be a comprehensive effort to secure the U.S. electric grid.
Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, and Tom Cotton of Arkansas last week wrote to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, complaining about a late-April decision that puts the American grid at further risk of Chinese sabotage.

There is something ghoulish about the Left’s obsession with forcing people to pay for the abortions of others. Now, President Joe Biden is going full-ghoul while trying to jettison what for 45 years has been both his own position and U.S. policy….
