  U.S. Attorney General William Barr is drawing keen attention as he said he has not found any significant fraud to change the election results in the November 3 presidential election. While President Donald Trump, who lost the presidential election, continued his dissatisfaction by claiming that the election was rigged, the justice minister made a direct rebuttal to it. In particular, Minister Barr is known as the loyal subject of President Trump, which is expected to deal a heavy blow to Trump, who wants to continue his election frame.

In a dramatic deviation from historical practices, the Trump Administration is poised to conduct the first federal executions during a lame-duck presidency in more than a century. The Department of Justice has scheduled three federal executions during the administration’s lame-duck period: Orlando Hall on November 19, Lisa Montgomery on December 8, and Brandon Bernard on December 10. The last time the U.S. government carried out an execution between a presidential election and the inauguration of the new president for a federal crime was nearly 132 years ago, on January 25, 1889, when the outgoing administration of Grover Cleveland (pictured) executed Richard Smith, a Choctaw Indian, for a murder on tribal land in Arkansas. The federal rush to execute conflicts sharply with national trends that show declining support for capital punishment.  The Trump administration's excessive execution at the end of its term seems to be conscious of President-elect Joe Biden. Biden, a devout Cath

Gettysburg Address is a speech that Abraham Lincoln gave in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, USA on November 19, 1863, during the Civil War. The speech was made four months after the Battle of Gettysburg at the dedication of a national cemetery for the then-dead soldier, one of the most cited and one of the greatest in American history. Lincoln said, " and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." After that, the United States became a symbol of democracy envied by all countries. And 157 years later, the  Republican Party   had a president who denied the U.S. presidential election.

  81% of white evangelists supported Trump in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and 76-81% of white evangelists supported Trump in the 2020 presidential election. What's interesting is that their approval ratings for past Republican presidential candidates remain the same regardless of their candidates. The latest Republican presidential candidates, for example, George W. Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney and Donald Trump, all received 70 to 80 percent support from white evangelists. But Mitt Romney is from Mormonism, which evangelicals consider heresy. Trump has divorced twice and lives with his third wife, has also appeared as a cameo in a Playboy pornographic film, and is a far cry from Christian life, with a transcript of his lewd remarks being released before the 2016 presidential election. Even Trump, in an interview, asked if he had ever asked God for forgiveness, said, "I have no such experience, and if I do something wrong, I will correct myself, and I do not attract

Chinese experts rated Blinken, 58, a former deputy secretary of state who was nominated as the first secretary of state in the Joe Biden administration, relatively favorably. They say it can help improve U.S.-China relations because it is more predictable than the Donald Trump administration and Secretary of State Mike Pompeii. Hong Kong's South China Morning Post (SCMP) on Monday quoted experts as calling Blinken's nominee "a person who can work together in a warm and practical manner." It also predicted such personnel changes as "a positive move for China." "China expects someone to deal with the U.S.-China relationship in a sensible way that suits U.S. interests," said Jia Qingguo, director of the Institute of International Relations at Beijing University. "If things go on in this way, there are many things the U.S. can do with China." Lu Xiang, a U.S. expert at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, also told SCMP, "Blingen is n

Trump has slowed China's technological roll.   Whether he intended it or not, it bought time for countries other than China, and once again provided an opportunity for the U.S. growth technology stock to fly like a rocket.  Now there is no Trump.  What will Biden do to maintain U.S. hegemony? Biden is said to be returning to the Paris Convention. Biden seems to be thinking of slowing down China's rise through international norms, not through strength.
