The Dangers of depending on China for Climate Change
According to Ben Weingarten at RealClearInvestigations, the White House’s goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 could lead to the United States becoming dependent on China. Beijing currently has a commanding position in the clean energy industry, controlling the necessary resources and manufacturing components for alternative energy. With the US facing opposition to “dirty” mining and Chinese companies potentially benefiting from clean energy subsidies, China’s dominance is expected to grow. Critics also worry that China will leverage the US desire for a greener future to its own advantage, further complicating the issue of reducing emissions.
Predictions for Biden-Trump in 2024
Commentary’s Abe Greenwald predicts that a potential Biden-Trump showdown in 2024 would be far worse than their previous election battle. The events of Jan. 6 and controversies surrounding Hunter Biden’s laptop have changed the political landscape, making it harder for supporters to ignore the flaws of either candidate. Greenwald suggests that this time around, voters will have to face a moral compromise and a bipartisan devaluation of accountability. Neither side can claim righteousness, and the voting public may find it challenging to support either candidate.
Biden’s Foreign Policy Challenges and its Impact on Respect
Samuel Byers at The Hill argues that Biden’s foreign policy has become a mess, starting with the Afghanistan withdrawal. Byers criticizes Biden’s weak strategy in the Middle East and worldwide, pointing to his hesitation in supporting Ukraine due to fear of provoking Russia. Additionally, Byers believes Biden’s approach to China lacks the necessary resolve to demonstrate American strength. The frequent evacuations of US embassies also raise concerns about the administration’s ability to protect American citizens abroad. Overall, Byers suggests that Biden’s foreign policy failures have diminished America’s respect on the global stage.
Trump’s Indictment as a Political Advantage
W. James Antle III of the Washington Examiner proposes that Donald Trump could use his Jan. 6 and stolen-election-related indictments to his advantage. Antle argues that by portraying these indictments as the criminalization of Republican primary voters’ views, Trump can rally support from those who doubt the 2020 election and perceive the justice system as biased against conservatives. Trump’s GOP rivals will face a difficult choice between aligning with Trump and becoming associated with his controversial views or challenging him directly and positioning themselves against his supporters.
The Decline in Dating and Marriage
Rob Henderson at The Free Press highlights a decline in dating interest among young women compared to young men. According to Henderson, 43% of young women have no interest in dating, while 34% of young men feel the same way. Furthermore, 55% of women believe that dating has become harder in the past decade, primarily due to difficulty finding someone who meets their expectations. Henderson suggests that the abundance of options provided by dating apps may lead to a feeling of dissatisfaction and contribute to the decline in marriage rates, which have dropped by 60% in the past five decades.
