President Xi Jinping Engages in Phone Call with U.S. President Donald J. Trump – Ministry of Foreign Affairs, People’s Republic of China
It seems Trump did not recognize the significant implications of his conversation with Xi. Or if he did, he is keeping it very well hidden.
This marked the first call ever initiated by Xi to a U.S. president, as previous calls had always been USA-led. pic.twitter.com/Famp468dEk

Melanie Phillips at the Rage Against the Hate Conference – YouTube. Colonel Smithers: “If you thought Sarah Hurwitz was bad….Philips appears frequently in media. It’s not the first time.” Some insightful commentary:
I don’t understand why this speech is being applauded. It’s genuinely alarming. All Jews should be particularly concerned about this. She’s essentially calling for all Jews globally to be forcibly sent to Israel, against our wishes, to serve as soldiers. We recognize the narrative; we know where it leads. I hope others have become aware of this.
