3 Martini Lunch

China & Bioweapons, Lousy Polls for Biden & Trump, China & Cuba

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome more information about the origins of COVID-19, but the new information shows the Chinese military played a leading role in gain of function research and were using it to develop bioweapons. Will anyone condemn the CCP for heading down this road? They also sigh at new polling showing President Biden and Donald Trump with identical, lousy 31 percent approval ratings. Americans do not want this rematch, but all indications suggest they will get it anyway. Finally, they shudder as the Biden administration keeps changing its story about Chinese espionage efforts against the U.S. based in Cuba.

    In the absence of liberal media bias, Donald Trump and Joe Biden getting the same approval rating (31%) would reflect something like their just deserts.

    Of course, it is ridiculous to imagine that liberal media bias is absent, or that it has no effect.

    Therefore, that 31% represents the effect of the bias against Trump driving down his approval, and the effect of the bias in favor of Biden inflating his approval.

    Well put. Of course, we wouldn't expect any different from Always-Wrong Geraghty.

    The question is not under which president did the Communist Chinese start their spy base in Cuba. The question is, “What is the Biden administration doing about it now?”

    This is how China responded to Biden throwing away our listening posts in Afghanistan.

    When Obama rewarded the Cuban Communist regime by ending the decades-long embargo, as far as I can tell, he asked for absolutely nothing in return.
