First look:   "It takes one to know one!" Putin responds to Biden's "killer" slur What's on the table at today's USA - China meeting in Alaska? China wants to create and control global vaccine passport system Trump-obsessed Jen Psaki blames Trump for anti-Asian violence

"It takes one to know one!" Putin responds to Biden's "killer" slur Headline: Putin Responds To Biden "Killer" Slur: "It Takes One To Know One"​ The First take: A day after President Biden told ABC News he considers Russian President Vladimir Putin to be a soulless killer, a response from Russian leader was quite clear saying, (and we're paraphrasing Putin here) "It takes one to know one." Putin added a message to President Biden, "I wish him good health. And, I say that without irony or joking." When the guy known for poisoning his political enemies wishes you "good health," we hope you tighten up security.

What's on the table at today's first USA-China meeting under Biden Headline: Communist China Plans To Press Biden To Reverse Trump’s Policies During Meeting In Alaska: Report The First take: We're not expecting much to come from this first meeting between Biden officials and Chinese officials. However, China has indicated they would like the new president to relax or completely reverse policies enacted during the Trump era. If President Biden does go soft on China, rolling back tariffs and relaxing restrictions on technology, expect the GOP and some in the media to raise questions about Joe's son Hunter and the alleged links between the president's family and China. Remind us again, how much did we have to put aside for the "Big Guy?"

China wants to create and control the global "vaccine passport" system Headline: China Wants WHO To Let It Create And Run A Global ‘Vaccine Passport’ System The First take: China, the county which has been accused of unleashing the deadly COVID-19 virus and the subsequent pandemic on the world is pitching the WHO for the right to create and operate a digital, global, vaccine passport system that would monitor all international travel. Let's not forget China is also the country forcing many foreign visitors to be subjected to the anal swab test for COVID upon arrival in the communist nation. We're going to be a hard NO on all of this.  GET  THE STORY Bonus: John Kerry BUSTED being a mask hypocrite (PHOTO)

Trump-obsessed Jen Psaki blames anti-Asian violence on Donald Trump Headline: Trump Partly to Blame for Threats to Asian Americans, Psaki Says​ The First take: Press Secretary Jen Psaki is once again blaming Donald Trump for something without having any actual proof. Ms. Psaki tied the former president's use of terms like "China virus" to a recent rise in violent attacks against Asian-Americans. For decades we have named or identified viruses based on their origins. Ebola came from the Ebola River region in Africa. Want to guess where the West Nile virus came from? We have more than a dozen examples we could share.This appears to us to be another example of the Left using a crisis to divide us. Please stop, it's exhausting.
