To be clear, there may be no way to ever confirm whether Willow (or karma) had anything to do with Biden’s so-called accident, but that doesn’t mean it can be ruled out, either. What no one seemed to mention, however, was how suspicious the timing was. Biden, who was wearing a helmet and biking gloves, then got up and assured onlookers, “I’m good!”

Families push Biden for release of jailed Americans in China (Politico)

The nonprofit prisoner release advocacy organization Dui Hua Foundation estimates that there are up to 200 Americans arbitrarily detained in China and as many ...

“We will continue to advocate on behalf of wrongfully detained U.S. citizens in the PRC and work to support their families.” “This is a perennial problem with the U.S. government’s handling of its prisoners abroad, especially in China.” Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) was the lead author on a bipartisan letter in March urging Biden to “ actively engage” with Chinese President Xi Jinping to win David Lin’s freedom. “The way to get people out is probably not just by making noise. It called for his release and the right to claim “compensation and other reparations.” China has ignored the ruling. Lawmakers have been demanding a better strategy to free wrongfully detained U.S. citizens in China for years. Yang’s readout of his meeting with Sullivan made no mention of the initiative and the Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C., didn’t respond to a request for comment. “The call was fairly disappointing because I wasn’t really able to get any concrete promises,” Li said. “This is all part of the fraying fabric of U.S.-China relations — they are taking it out on our people.” But lawmakers and family members of U.S. citizens wrongfully detained in China say Sullivan and the State Department are pursuing a prisoner release approach that’s likely to fail because it’s hinged to quiet engagement. But family members and prisoner release advocates say SPEHA is hitting a brick wall in Beijing and that Swidan, Li and Lin are suffering serious health problems caused by their imprisonment. “I know [Biden] can’t send in the Marines … but stop trade, don’t give [China] any leeway on tariffs or on trade until they release Mark.”

Prices are high, and their profit and profit margins are high, and what we are encouraging is that they take those and put those profits to work to increase production.” He will vigorously represent American interests, while also vigorously representing American values,” Deese said of Biden’s July 13-16 trip, which will also include a trip to Israel and the adjacent West Bank. Critics on both the left and right have said it is wrong for Biden to seem to give the Saudi royal family his stamp of approval by visiting there.

Joe Biden's meeting with Saudi officials will 'include' Crown Prince ... (CNN)

The White House said Sunday that President Joe Biden's upcoming meeting with Saudi officials will "include" the kingdom's crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, ...

"So all around the world is asking for people to increase production, but especially our own oil and gas producers." And he's going to be part of it just like there were people part of a big discussion today," the President said at the virtual leader-level meeting of the Major Economies Forum on Leadership and Climate that took place Friday and referring to the crown prince by his initials. That meeting will include the crown prince and other Saudi officials," the NSC spokesperson added. But he's also very concerned about what people are experiencing at the pump, and Saudi Arabia is head of OPEC, and we need to have increased production so that everyday citizens in America will not be feeling this pain that they're feeling right now," she added. "He has asked for all suppliers around the globe to increase production. He is asking for an increase like other leaders around the globe."

Biden's Bike Crash Isn't About Him. It's About the Media ... (InsideSources)

President Joe Biden took a crash off his Trek bicycle this weekend when he attempted to dismount to speak to a crowd. His foot caught part of the pedal.

When it came to Joe Biden spilling onto the pavement in front of an adoring crowd, however, Cillizza’s only response was “Been there.” Joe Biden was at a complete stop when he fell over. A Harvard-Harris poll released in May found nearly two-thirds of respondents said, “Joe Biden is showing he is too old to be president. Joe Biden crumbling over onto the ground led to instant memes on gas prices and inflation on social media, not to mention his advanced age. The problem for them is when they excuse Biden’s follies. And like every tumble up the stairs of Air Force One, they always seem to take on a symbolic measure of how their presidency is doing.
