The agency that oversees the U.S. government’s
overseas broadcasting operations is facing contro-

America to document conversations with sources
under federal record-keeping law.
Several VOA reporters expressed opposition

The U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), the

PLAY BALL: Washington Nationals’ Max Scherzer will deliver the first pitch of the season Thursday before live fans at
Nationals Park. With limited seats and high demand for opening day tickets across the country, value has skyrocketed.
Ticket holders more than ready for opening day
BY ANDY KOSTKA
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Brian Campbell knew the crowd
for the opening day game at Nation-
als Park on Thursday was capped at
5,000 because of pandemic concerns,
so he wasn’t expecting to score tick-
ets. But when he logged onto the
website last week, he clicked April
1 — just in case the unthinkable was
possible.
There they were: two seats in
right field.
“I was super pumped, and I was
scared that somehow the servers
were overloaded, almost like a [Play-
Station 5] situation,” the Hagerstown,
Maryland, resident said. “Everyone’s
trying to get one. You have it in your
cart. And then it freezes up and it’s
gone.”
The fear didn’t materialize. Mr.
Campbell and his wife will be among
the chosen few, scattered throughout
a socially distanced stadium, watch-
ing and cheering in person as Max
Scherzer takes the mound to lead the
Nationals against the New York Mets.
With high demand for opening
day tickets across the country, resale
value has skyrocketed. Season ticket
holders like Mr. Campbell wouldn’t
dream of selling their seats, not after
missing out on the 2020 season. But
there are fans who snagged seats
looking to cash in.
According to StubHub, the cheap-
est Nationals ticket on the resale mar-
ket is going for $375. An upper-deck
seat at Petco Park in San Diego will
cost a Padres fan about $150, and an
infield 100-level seat at New York’s
Yankee Stadium tops $300. Seeing the
Boston Red Sox up close at Fenway
Park will cost $200 or more.
Worth every penny, baseball-
starved fans say.
“It’s something I feel like I need
for my soul,” said Erica Reynosa,

ginia. “That may make some people

AGRICULTURE

Biden stimulus earmark for only non-White farmers blasted as racism

BY VALERIE RICHARDSON
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Nobody doubts that Black agricul-
tural landowners are struggling as their
numbers plummet, but critics argue that
the economic stimulus package’s $5 bil-
lion set-aside for non-White farmers and
ranchers is not the way to help.
The naysayers include Rep. Bur-
gess Owens, a Utah Republican whose
grandfather was a farmer. He argued
Wednesday that the $1.9 trillion Ameri-
can Rescue Plan’s debt relief earmarked
for socially disadvantaged “farmers of
color” represents racial discrimination.
“I’m deeply concerned that Con-
gress feels emboldened to perpetuate
a modern-day form of racial segrega-
tion rather than provide relief to those
who need it most,” Mr. Owens said in a
statement. “My grandfather, a respected
farmer in the 1950s and ’60s Black middle
class, would be mortified by any policy
that seeks to discriminate based on race.
Racism was and will always be wrong.”
He and Rep. Thomas P. Tiffany,
Wisconsin Republican, plan to unveil
Thursday a bill that would bar the U.S.
Department of Agriculture “from dis-
criminating or providing preferential
treatment to any person on the basis of
race, color, national origin or sex.”
The debate over targeting relief fund-
ing on the basis of race erupted when
the plight of Black farmers and ranchers
gained attention in Congress and the
Biden administration.
The House Agriculture Committee
held a March 25 hearing on the state of
Black farmers, who represent 0.9% of U.S.
agricultural landowners. Their numbers
have fallen from nearly 1 million in 1920

BLACK CONSERVATIVE TAKES ON KAMALA HARRIS

A leading Black conservative is troubled by President Biden’s
decision to place Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of im-
migration policy.
“Our greatest concern about her appointment to such a crucial
task is not just the spread of the COVID-19 virus or even drugs
filtering in over the border. It is always about the money, which
will now be taken from poor American children’s mouths and put
towards illegal immigrants and their families’ needs. The issue is
not just about displacing money that should take care of the most
impoverished families; it is about resources,” Autry Pruitt tells
Inside the Beltway.
He is both author and broadcast commentator, and currently
serves as CEO of New Journey PAC, a political action committee for
Black conservatives he co-founded with James Golden — other-
wise known as “Bo Snerdley,” executive producer for the late Rush
Limbaugh’s long-running radio show.
“For instance, in a needy neighborhood in Texas or Arizona that
is mainly Black and Hispanic, those students will now have to share
resources with children who do not speak English. Rather than
ensuring math and reading skills are the principal focus, English as
a second language help and other programs will be needed. While
campaigning, Democrats have pledged that illegal immigrants will
receive health care and entitlement spending. This added stress on
teachers and the public school system will overwhelm communi-
ties, and most importantly, American children will suffer,” Mr. Pruitt
continues.
“Harris has proven that she will let poor Black Americans suf-
fer as long as it benefits her political career. And, why not? She
and the liberal elites make sure their child’s educational needs are
met, despite the obstacles they place in front of the poor. She will
gain political points for being an immigration activist. Kamala and
the left have put the needs of illegal immigrants above poor Black
Americans once again,” he concludes.
‘SURGE’ GETS CANCELED
A progressive Democratic lawmaker is not happy with use of the
word “surge” to describe the thousands of migrants massed at the
southern U.S. border in response to President Biden’s open-door
immigration policies. Many children are part of the throng.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York has a problem with
the use of the term “surge” to describe this phenomenon.
“Anyone who’s using the term ‘surge’ around you consciously is
trying to invoke a militaristic frame,” she said in an Instagram live
video on Tuesday night.
“That’s a problem, because this is not a surge. These are children.

Autry Pruitt said he is trouble by President Biden’s decision to put Vice
President Kamala Harris in charge of immigration policy.
They are not insurgents and we are not being invaded — which
by the way is a White supremacist idea, a philosophy — that if an
‘other’ is coming into the population, that this is an invasion of who
we are,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said in her commentary, which was
first noted on Twitter by @JewishDeplorable and picked up by The
Daily Caller.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary, in the meantime, defines
“surge” as “to rise suddenly to an excessive or abnormal value”
and uses it to describe the movement of the sea, the stock market,
electrical voltage and runners in a race, among other examples. The
first known usage of the word “surge” occurred in 1511, according to
the dictionary.
‘CANCELED’ GETS CANCELED
“The majority of Americans say they view ‘cancel culture’ as
a threat to their freedom,” says a new Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll
survey released exclusively to The Hill this week.
The news organization revealed that 64% of U.S. voters said “a
growing cancel culture” has taken hold of the nation and that they
The poll found that 36% of Americans said cancel culture is a
“big problem,” while 32% called it a “moderate problem.” Another
20% said it was a “small problem” and 13% said it is “not a problem.”
The Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey of 1,945 registered U.S.
voters was conducted March 24-25.
AND ABOUT THAT $2 TRILLION PLAN
The White House has just released a fact sheet explaining
President Biden’s $2 trillion proposals for better infrastructure and
job creation, among other things. In a lengthy fact sheet, the White
House said the mammoth proposal will “unify and mobilize the
country.”
Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called the plan a “Trojan
horse.”
So now what?
“The fact sheet is mostly political rhetoric that resembles the
campaign’s proposal and remains light of details which will proba-
bly be released in the coming weeks and recrafted by Congress. The
fact sheet included the main priorities for an infrastructure plan
as well a corporate tax proposal,” says Brian Gardner, chief policy
strategist for Stifel, a brokerage and investment banking firm.
“There is a reasonable chance that Congress will pass some form
of the Biden plan, it will be tougher to pass this plan than it was
to pass the COVID-relief bill. Some divisions are already apparent
among Democrats,” he notes, citing competing concerns such as
climate change and the fate of state and local tax deductions.
“Regarding the tax plan, progressives are pushing for a return
to a 35% tax rate while some centrists have floated a 25% corporate
tax rate. Note: due to narrow majorities in Congress, centrists have
significant leverage if they decide to use it,” Mr. Gardner observes,
also noting that the new Biden plan does not include any proposals
related to corporate tax reforms put in place by President Trump in
2017.

Iowa GOP to fight changes to calendar
The head of the Iowa GOP is pushing back
against the idea that his state could lose its spot
starting the presidential nomination process.
Responding to a report in Politico that Demo-
crats are considering having South Carolina and
Nevada lead the primary schedule, Jeff Kaufmann,
Iowa Republican Party chairman, said it is a
foolish idea embraced by the likes of former Sen.
Harry Reid of Nevada and “coastal elites who
think they know better than everybody else.”
“I continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with
my First In The Nation states counterparts and
will do everything in my power to protect the
Iowa Caucuses,” Mr. Kaufmann said.
Iowa has traditionally kicked off the presiden-
tial nomination race with the caucuses, followed
by New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary.
Democrats also have raised questions about
these two overwhelmingly white states. Presi-
dent Biden provided additional fodder when his
struggles in Iowa and New Hampshire proved
inconsequential after he won in South Carolina.
Iowa is under additional scrutiny following
the botched 2020 Democratic caucuses where the
final results were not known for days because of
technical glitches related to vote counting.

FEDERAL COURTS
GOP groups to defend state voting laws
The Republican National Committee and
the National Republican Senatorial Committee
moved on Wednesday to intervene in lawsuits
brought by liberal advocacy groups challenging
Georgia and Iowa’s new election laws.
The GOP organizations say the state laws will
boost voter confidence and provide accountabil-
ity for local election officials.
“The Democrats have grossly mischaracter-
ized the provisions and impact of Georgia’s and
Iowa’s recent election reforms,” said RNC Chair-
woman Ronna McDaniel and NRSC Chairman
Sen. Rick Scott in a joint statement.
The groups “look forward to fighting back
against the Democrat lies and their lawyers’
incendiary and outlandish claims,” they said.
The motions to intervene in the lawsuits come
after liberal groups sued to block the laws, argu-
ing the new measures run afoul of the Constitu-
tion and discriminate against minority voters.
The Georgia lawsuit, filed last week against
Republican officials, focused on the GOP legisla-
ture passing legislation that requires an ID to vote

Former DOJ
official: Gaetz
extortion claims
‘completely false’
BY JEFF MORDOCK
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The former Justice Department employee ac-
cused of trying to extort $25 million from Rep. Matt
Gaetz slammed the accusations as “completely false”
Wednesday even as the Florida Republican’s father
backed up some of his son’s claims.
David McGee, a former federal prosecutor in
Florida who is now in private practice, told The
Washington Post that Mr. Gaetz’s extortion claims
are a “blatant attempt to distract” from a federal
sex-crimes investigation.
“I have no connection with that case at all, other
than, one of a thousand people who have heard the
rumors,” Mr. McGee said in an interview.
The Justice Department is investigating allega-
tions of sexual misconduct and interstate trafficking
of a 17-year-old girl roughly two years ago.
Mr. Gaetz has vehemently denied he had a
relationship with any such girl, insisting he’s been
targeted in an extortion scheme by Mr. McGee who,
he says, promised to make the accusations disappear
in exchange for $25 million, the first tranche of which
was supposed to be set up Wednesday.
The investigation, on which The New York Times
first reported Tuesday night, started months ago
under Attorney General William Barr during the
Trump administration.
Don Gaetz, the congressman’s father, backed up
his son’s claims in an interview with Politico. The
elder Mr. Gaetz said he is cooperating with the FBI
in an extortion investigation and that he wore a wire
in a meeting with Mr. McGee and another man.
“The FBI asked me to try and get that information
for Matt and an indication that we would transfer
money to Mr. David McGee,” Don Gaetz said in the
interview.
The Washington Post reported Wednesday night
that two men had approached Don Gaetz and of-
fered to help his son. The men said if Don Gaetz
gave them a large sum of money to locate Robert
Levinson — the longest-held American hostage in
Iran, though he is believed to be dead — they could
make the allegations against his son disappear, ac-
cording to the article.
Don Gaetz was suspicious of the communication
and contacted the FBI.
The two men had no apparent connection to the
investigation into the Florida congressman other
than learning about it before it was publicly reported,
according to the Post.
Mr. McGee said he welcomes the release of any
tapes. “If there is a tape, play the tape,” he said.

CONGRESS

Hart drops effort to overturn House loss to Miller-Meeks

Iowa Democrat says challenge became too ‘toxic’
BY STEPHEN DINAN
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Rita Hart, a Democratic
congressional candidate, said
Wednesday that she is dropping
her effort to overturn the results
of her election loss in Iowa, say-
ing the effort to contest the race
had become too “toxic.”
Her decision means Demo-
crats will no longer be able to try
to oust Rep. Mariannette Miller-
Meeks, the Republican who won
the race by six votes and who has
been serving since Jan. 3 — albeit
in what Democrats insisted was
a provisional status.
Ms. Hart’s challenge had be-
come a serious distraction for
Democrats on Capitol Hill, pit-
ting Speaker Nancy Pelosi against
more moderate members of her
caucus, who said they couldn’t
see overturning the results of
an election after complaining so
loudly when former President
Donald Trump attempted the
same thing.
Ms. Hart had braved that criti-
cism for weeks, but in a statement
Wednesday acknowledged her
campaign to overturn the results
was doomed.
“Despite our best efforts to
have every vote counted, the real-
ity is that the toxic campaign of
political disinformation to attack
this constitutional review of the
closest congressional contest in
100 years has effectively silenced
the voices of Iowans,” she said.
A key moment came last week
when Ms. Hart’s lawyers, in their
challenge, admitted they were
asking the House to “depart from
Iowa law” in counting 22 ad-
ditional ballots that would have
swung the race to her.
Republicans threw that phras-
ing back at Democrats, saying Io-
wans had picked their lawmaker
and attempting to undo that pick
was a “power grab.”
Ms. Hart’s concession came
just hours after Rep. Kevin Mc-
Carthy, the top Republican in the
House, traveled to Davenport,
Iowa, to meet with Ms. Miller-
Meeks and to denounce Ms.
Hart’s challenge.
“The idea that Democrats
want to turn over an election
after it’s been counted, recounted
and a bipartisan election board
had voted — it’s time to move
on,” Mr. McCarthy said.
After Ms. Hart’s concession,
he released a statement saying
Iowa voters prevailed.
“Pelosi’s attempted power grab
failed,” he said.
The Iowa Republican Party
said Wednesday’s move by Ms.
Hart isn’t the end of it. Chairman
Jeff Kaufmann urged voters to
punish Democrats for the last
three months of uncertainty.
“The withdraw of Hart’s
contest should signal to every
Iowan that the fight to take back
the House and Senate in 2022
has begun,” he said. “Democrats
shamelessly went along with this
effort to usurp Iowa elections, and
tried to drag it across the finish
line for one thing — power. It’s
time we show them they no longer
deserve it.”
Republicans said Democrats
fought for the seat because they
hold a slim majority in the cham-
ber, and that threatens Mrs. Pe-
losi’s hopes of being able to push
through a liberal agenda.
But Ms. Hart’s challenge

created an embarrassing con-
tradiction for Democrats who
had loudly criticized Republican
attempts to challenge Electoral
College results on Jan. 6 — the
day a pro-Trump mob attacked
the Capitol. Five people died in
connection with the attack.
In the wake of that attack, a
number of major corporations
had said they would no longer
ASSOCIATED PRESS
provide campaign backing to Re-
publicans who were involved in
the challenge.
Ms. Hart’s attempt to overturn
the Iowa results gave the GOP
room to push back.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch
McConnell, Sen. Tom Cotton
and Iowa Sens. Chuck Grassley
and Joni Ernst fired off letters
to those corporations last week
demanding they apply the same
standard to Democrats involved
in the Iowa challenge.
“If you decide to not speak out
about this brazen attempt to steal
an election, some may question
the sincerity of your earlier state-
ments and draw the conclusion
that your actions were partisan
instead of principled,” the sena-

BY HARIS ALIC
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
After having his private and profes-
sional life take center stage during the
2020 presidential election, Hunter Biden
is set on getting even with the “vile man”
he believes responsible — former Presi-
dent Donald Trump.
“He pushed debunked conspiracy
theories about work I did in Ukraine
and China, even as his own children had
pocketed millions in China and Russia
and his former campaign manager sat in a
jail cell for laundering millions more from
Ukraine,” writes Mr. Biden, the younger
son of President Biden, in his upcoming
memoir “Beautiful Things.”
Within the book, the younger Mr.
Biden sheds light on his life as a member
of America’s new first family, as well as his
decades-long battle with substance abuse.
“I’ve bought crack cocaine on the
streets of Washington, D.C., and cooked
up my own inside a hotel bungalow in Los
Angeles,” Mr. Biden writes. “‘I’ve been so
desperate for a drink that I couldn’t make
the one-block walk between a liquor store
and my apartment without uncapping the
bottle to take a swig.”
The book, which is slated for publica-
tion early next month, is being pitched for
its candidness. While excerpts reviewed
by the Washington Times indicate Mr.
Biden is forthcoming about his tribula-
tions with drug abuse, little is said about
his business dealings.
For decades, Mr. Biden has found
himself in professional roles connected
to his father’s political influence.
In 1996, at the age of 26 and fresh out
of Yale Law School, Mr. Biden was hired
as a senior vice president at MBNA Corp.
The company at the time was one of the
largest credit card distributors in the U.S.
It was also the largest donor to then-Sen.
Joseph R. Biden of Delaware.
The position raised eyebrows from
ethics watchdogs as MBNA employees
had just donated $63,000 to the senator’s
re-election campaign in what appeared
to be a coordinated manner to sidestep
federal campaign finance regulations.
Mr. Biden remained on the company’s
payroll as a consultant throughout the
mid-2000s. The agreement, which was
not unveiled until 2008, struck many as
troublesome because Mr. Biden’s father
was championing legislation to make
bankruptcy reform harder, an outcome
that proved profitable to credit card gi-
ants like MBNA.
Mr. Biden similarly engaged with
politically-connected businesses during
his father’s tenure as vice president. One
of those dealings, with the Ukrainian nat-
ural-gas giant Burisma Holdings, became
a central issue in the 2020 presidential
campaign.
Mr. Biden joined Burisma’s board
of directors in 2014, despite having no
background in the energy industry or
Eastern Europe. The appointment came
shortly after the elder Mr. Biden got the
task of leading the Obama administra-
tion’s policy towards Ukraine.

brief. “The NCAA has thus long
had a body of eligibility rules
designed to establish a ‘clear line
of demarcation between intercol-
legiate athletics and professional
sports.’ ”
A group of former college
athletes, aiming to strike down
the prohibition, brought the case
after the NCAA implemented
restrictions on student compen-
sation in 2014.
The lower courts gave the
students a partial win, allowing
unlimited benefits in some capac-
ity, so long as it was connected to
the students’ schooling.
The students told the Su-
preme Court that the 9th Circuit
ruling was “modest” because it
applies only to education-related
benefits, “like computers, science
equipment, musical instruments,
postgraduate scholarships, tu-
toring, study abroad, academic
awards and internships.”
Jodi Balsam, a professor at
Brooklyn Law School, said the
case is the “Super Bowl of sports
law” that will determine the fu-
ture of college athletics.
“Unease that the lower court
decisions opened the floodgates
of pay-for-play coincided with
concern for the athletes who
generate the riches pocketed by
schools and coaches,” she said.
“Antitrust should not provide a
vehicle for perpetual litigation
over and judicial micromanage-
ment of joint ventures.”
A ruling is expected by the
end of June.

Tax increases would reverse the success of Trump’s tax cuts
P
resident Biden is
preparing a massive
tax-and-spend plan that
would greatly expand
the federal government and
harm economic growth.
The higher taxes being
put forth by Mr. Biden would
reverse important aspects of the
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed
into law by then-President
Trump in 2017. Those tax in-
creases would also reverse the
substantial economic gains that
resulted from the tax cuts and
the improved regulatory climate
ushered in under Mr. Trump.
In making the case for tax

arise. “If I were going to Yankee
Stadium, I’d bring my CDC [vac-
cination] card, too, just in case.”
The White House said there
will be no federal database of
vaccine-verified people or a man-
date to hold a vaccine credential.
That hasn’t stopped an outcry
among conservatives, who see
the vaccine passport as another
bureaucratic hurdle or example
of Big Brother overreach.
Donald Trump Jr. likened the
concept to communist China,
and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene,
a conservative firebrand from
Georgia, called it “Biden’s Mark
of the Beast.”
“Will you need to show
your vaccine passport to vote?”
tweeted Rep. Jim Jordan, Ohio
Republican.
The debate evokes the culture
wars and firestorms over state-
wide business restrictions and
mask mandates last year. Those
debates continue as the Biden
White House calls on states
to reimpose or continue mask
rules as the number of COVID-19
cases ticks upward again.
Mr. DeSantis, who has
boasted about reopening Flori-
da’s economy, said he is worried
that unvaccinated people won’t
be treated fairly by government
entities or businesses.
“It’s completely unacceptable
for either the government or the
private sector to impose upon
you the requirement that you
show proof of vaccine to just
simply participate in normal
society,” Mr. DeSantis said.
Mr. Caplan said reports of
unequal treatment in society
will be a “complaint we’re going
to hear” as some can prove vac-
cination while others wait in line
or decline the shots. That might
forge strange alliances between
conservatives and liberals. Many
on the left worry about equity
issues with reports that minori-
ties, who have been hit hardest
by COVID-19, have lower vac-
cination rates in major cities.
Governors who balk at the
passports could find themselves
at odds with major companies in
their states that see the tool as
a way to ensure a safe environ-

More than 80% of taxpayers
saw a lower tax burden, and IRS
data confirm that every income

the law was enacted.
In fact, the law made the tax
code even more progressive.
Taxes paid by the bottom 50%
of earners fell by more than 10%
after the tax cuts, compared to
just a 0.04% drop for the top 1%.
In 2018, the top 1% of earners
paid 40% of the income taxes
— up from 38% before the tax
cuts.

said Wednesday that available
vaccines produce solid antibody

Myth: The cuts caused
the high deficits
Mr. Trump and other Repub-
licans sometimes misleadingly
asserted that the tax cuts would
pay for themselves. These
claims unfortunately confused
the public about the true
purpose of tax reform, which
was to allow more Americans
to keep more of the money
they earn and strengthen the
economy, not to maximize
the revenues for the federal
government.
It is also a complete fabri-
cation to blame the tax cuts
for the Treasury’s poor fis-
cal health, which is due to
the unsustainable growth in
residents to always “help those
who need it.”
Andrew Yang, the former
Democratic presidential candi-
date who is running for New
York City mayor, told CNN that
bystanders could “have done a
lot of good.”

cent high-profile assaults of Asian
Americans across the country.

the number of hate crimes has
grown 150%. However, the overall
numbers remained low, with 122

pared to 49 in 2019, according to

Two U.S. Capitol Police
officers sue Trump over
injuries suffered in riot
BY JEFF MORDOCK
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
A pair of U.S. Capitol Police offi-
cers who say they suffered physical
and emotional injuries in the Jan. 6
riot sued former President Donald
Trump on Wednesday, accusing
him of inciting the insurrection.
Officers James Blassingame
and Sidney Hemby allege that
Mr. Trump directed the assaults
and batterings carried out by the
rioters, who stormed the Capitol
to stop Congress from certifying
President Biden’s election victory.
The two officers, who have a
combined 28 years on the force,
they are seeking at least $75,000
each in damages.
It is the first lawsuit filed over
the attack, but the number of of-
ficers who are likely to either join
this suit or file separate legal ac-
tions could add up, said John F.
Banzhaf III, a law professor at The
George Washington University.
“If this survives the motion
to dismiss, it will encourage a lot
more people to come on board,”
he said. “Not just officers, but you
have staffers, government officials,
and possibly actual members of
Congress, which would put them
in a stronger position.”
Officer Hemby says that during
the attack, he was “crushed against
the doors” of the Capitol, “sprayed
with chemicals” and sustained in-
juries that caused his face to bleed.
Officer Blassingame says he
was slammed against a stone col-
umn, injuring his head and back.
The lawsuit says Officer Blass-
ingame now suffers from depres-
sion and that the “severe emotional
toll … continues to reveal itself.”
He is “haunted by the memory
of being attacked, and of the sen-
sory impacts — the sights, sounds,
smells and even tastes of the attack
remain close to the surface,” ac-
cording to the lawsuit.
Officer Blassingame, who is
Black, also says he was called the
n-word slur so many times during
the assault that he lost count.

The recent $1.9 trillion stim-
ulus bill will add more in debt
by next year than the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act was projected
to reduce revenue by over a
decade. Biden’s new $3 trillion
spending proposal is twice the
size of the tax cuts.
Reversing the tax cuts would
be a big mistake and would hin-
der the much-needed economic
recovery process. Instead of
higher spending and damag-
ing tax hikes, Congress and
Mr. Biden should prevent tax
increases, continue making the
tax code more competitive, and
get spending under control.

were acting as individuals, not on
behalf of the department.
Mr. Trump did not respond
to a request for comment about
the lawsuit, which was filed in
federal court in Washington. He
has previously denied responsi-
bility for the mob attack and last
week claimed the rioters were
“hugging and kissing the police”
at the Capitol.
The lawsuit says Mr. Trump
“inflamed, encouraged, incited
(and) directed” the violent mob.
The former president is the
only defendant named in the law-
suit. Two Democratic lawmakers
who filed a suit last month over
the riot sued Mr. Trump, lawyer
Rudolph W. Giuliani, who, along
with the president, spoke at a rally
ahead of the attack, and members
of two right-wing groups that
have been charged by the Justice
Department with taking part in
the siege.
“That the suit is entirely
against Trump says this isn’t a
serious suit, but rather filed for
some kind of political purpose,”
Mr. Banzhaf said. “If it was a
serious suit, it would have in-
cluded Giuliani or one or two
other speakers at the rally.”
The lawsuit directly links Mr.
Trump’s pre-riot speech, in which
he told his supporters to “fight
like hell,” and the violence that
followed. The House impeached
Mr. Trump for inciting the riot,
but the Senate didn’t convict him.
Mr. Banzhaf said the officers
would have a stronger case suing
some of the rioters who assaulted
them. So far, the Justice Depart-
ment has publicly filed charges
against more than 230 riot sus-
pects, including some who are ac-
cused of assaulting police officers.
Among the defenses that Mr.
Trump could raise include First
Amendment claims, as well as
invoking the so-called Fireman’s
Rule. The doctrine, which is law
in the District of Columbia and
other states, says firefighters and
other first responders assume
certain risks and cannot sue if
they are injured on their job.

More broadly, the sea straddles what
a recent Middle East Institute survey

Iran and Syria to the south.

more alarming to Russian President
Vladimir Putin and his security advis-
ers were the U.S. Air Force missions in
August that sent B-52 bombers over the
Black Sea, he said.
“The bombers were much more of a
realistic demonstration. That is how we
would actually deal with the Russians,”
said Adm. Montgomery, now with the
Foundation for Defense of Democra-
cies. “They came down and looked like
targeting missions.”
While the U.S. warship exercises in
the Black Sea were about demonstrat-
ing credibility and concern to allies, the
B-52 flights were about demonstrating
to Russia the credibility of the U.S. strike
capacity, the former admiral said.
The B-52 mission was of such concern
to Russia that it scrambled a pair of Su-27
Flanker fighters to intercept the bomber.
The U.S. said the Russian pilots flew in an
“unsafe and unprofessional manner.” The
fighter jets crossed within 100 feet of the
nose of the B-52 several times and used
their afterburners to cause turbulence
and restrict the U.S. plane’s ability to
maneuver, Air Force officials said.
The U.S. maintained that the B-52 was
operating in international airspace in ac-
cordance with recognized international
safety standards.
“While the Russian aircraft were
operating in international airspace, they
jeopardized the safety of flight of the
aircraft involved. We expect them to op-
erate within international standards set
to ensure safety and prevent accidents,”
Gen. Jeff Harrigan, commander of U.S.
Air Forces in Europe-Air Forces Africa,
said at the time.
Ever since Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine and annexation of Crimea, Adm.
Montgomery said, there is more of a
need to shore up the credibility of U.S.
partnerships with allies in that region.
“It does demonstrate to Putin that
we will operate in what he considers
his backyard or side yard,” Adm. Mont-
gomery said.

Experts: Mutations will make vaccines useless in a year
BY SHEN WU TAN
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Many infectious disease spe-
cialists say that the first genera-
tion of coronavirus vaccines will
be ineffective within a year and
that some populations will need
new or modified shots.
In a survey of 77 epidemi-
ologists from 28 countries, two-
thirds said coronavirus mutations
could render most of the current
vaccines ineffective within a year.
Nearly one-third predicted nine
months or less and about 18%
estimated six months or less, ac-
cording to the People’s Vaccine
Alliance.
The survey, released Tuesday,
was conducted between Feb. 17
and March 25 and included re-
sponses from epidemiologists,
virologists and infection disease
specialists from Columbia Uni-
versity, Johns Hopkins University,
Imperial College, the University
of Cambridge, the Danish Medi-
cal Association and the Univer-
sity of Cape Town, among others.
The majority — 88% — said it
is more likely for vaccine-resistant

Store cashier expresses regret
over Floyd in Chauvin trial
BY STEVE KARNOWSKI AND AMY FORLITI
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS | The conve-
nience store cashier who was
handed a counterfeit $20 bill
by George Floyd — setting in
motion the Black man’s ill-fated
encounter with police — testi-
fied Wednesday that he watched
Floyd’s arrest outside with “dis-
belief and guilt.”
“If I would’ve just not tooken
the bill, this could’ve been
avoided,” 19-year-old Christopher
Martin lamented at former officer
Derek Chauvin’s murder trial,
joining the burgeoning list of on-
lookers who expressed a sense of
helplessness and lingering guilt
over Floyd’s slow death last May.
Prosecutors used Mr. Martin
and other witnesses to help lay
out the rapidly escalating se-
quence of events that ended in
tragedy. They also played store
security video of Floyd inside
Cup Foods and still more foot-
age of him outside, adding to the
mountain of video documenting
what happened.
Together, the witness ac-
counts and video began to show
how events spun out of control,
as a scene of people apparently
joking around inside the neigh-
borhood market soon gave way
to the sight of officers removing
Floyd from his SUV at gunpoint,
NEW YORK
New York is latest state to legalize recreational marijuana use
BY MARINA VILLENEUVE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
New Yorkers aged 21 and
older can now possess and use
up to 3 ounces of cannabis in
public under a legalization bill
signed Wednesday by Gov. An-
drew Cuomo, while sales of rec-
reational-use marijuana won’t
become legal for an estimated 18
months until the state draws up
regulations.
Advocates for criminal justice
reform hope it also will help re-
dress the inequities of a system
that has locked up people of color
for marijuana offenses at dispro-
portionate rates.
The law provides protections
for cannabis users in the work-
place, housing, family court and
in schools, colleges and universi-
ties, and sets a target of provid-
ing half of marijuana licenses
to individuals from underrepre-
sented communities. And police

cine coverage in many countries
persists. Only 10% of people in
most poor countries will be vac-
cinated in the next year at the
current inoculation rate, warned
the People’s Vaccine Alliance, a
coalition of more than 50 orga-
nizations including Oxfam, UN-
AIDS and the African Alliance.
“The solution to the variants
is to vaccinate as quickly as pos-
sible. I think it is also important
to remember that even in the
face of problematic variance, the
vaccines are able to do what mat-
ters: prevent serious disease, pre-
vent hospitalization and prevent
death,” said Dr. Amesh Adalja, a
senior scholar for Johns Hopkins
Center for Health Security who
was not included in the survey.
“We know that the developing
world is going to lag the devel-
oped world in terms of axing
uptake, and that will make the
pandemic last longer on a global
scale even after this is controlled
in many other countries with
vaccine access,” Dr. Adalja said.

car, and finally putting him on
the ground, where he was seen
kicking as police forced him onto
his stomach.
Mr. Martin said he immedi-
ately believed the $20 that Floyd
gave him in exchange for a pack
of cigarettes was fake. But he ac-
cepted it, despite a store policy
that said the amount would be
taken out of his paycheck, be-
cause he didn’t believe Floyd
knew it was counterfeit and “I
thought I’d be doing him a favor.”
Mr. Martin said he initially
planned to just put the bill on
his own “tab” but then second-
guessed himself and told a man-
ager, who sent Mr. Martin outside
to ask Floyd to return to the store.
But Floyd and a passenger in
his SUV twice refused to go back
into the store to resolve the issue,
and the manager had a co-worker
call police, Mr. Martin testified.
Floyd was later arrested out-
side, where Mr. Chauvin pinned
his knee on the man’s neck for
what prosecutors said was 9
minutes, 29 seconds, as a hand-
cuffed Floyd lay face-down on
the pavement. Floyd, 46, was later
pronounced dead at a hospital.

cannabis as pretext for searching
someone’s car for contraband.
“By placing community re-
investment, social equity, and
justice front and center, this law is
the new gold standard for reform
efforts nationwide,” said Melissa
Moore, New York state director of
the Drug Policy Alliance.
New York will start automati-
cally expunging the criminal re-
cords of individuals with certain
past marijuana-related convic-
tions, and law enforcement in the
state won’t be able to arrest or
prosecute individuals for posses-
sion of marijuana up to 3 ounces.
That’s a step beyond a 2019
law that expunged many past
convictions for marijuana posses-
sion and reduced the penalty for
possessing small amounts.
Unlike all other states that
have legalized recreational mari-

older can now smoke cannabis in

Floyd’s death, along with the
harrowing bystander video of
him gasping for breath as on-
lookers yelled at Mr. Chauvin to
get off him, triggered sometimes
violent protests around the world
and a reckoning over racism and
police brutality across the U.S.
Mr. Martin said that inside the
store, he asked Floyd if he played
baseball, and Floyd said he played
football, but it took Floyd some time
to respond, so “it would appear
that he was high.” But he described
Floyd as friendly and talkative.
The defense has argued that
Mr. Chauvin did what he was
trained to do and that Floyd’s
death was not caused by Mr.
Chauvin’s knee on his neck, as
prosecutors contend, but by a
combination of illegal drug use,
heart disease, high blood pres-
sure and the adrenaline flowing
through his body.
After police arrived that day,
Mr. Martin went outside as peo-
ple were gathering on the curb
and yelling at officers, then called
his mother, with whom he lived
in an apartment upstairs, and told
her to stay inside.

The testimony from the pros-

ently aimed at showing that Mr.
Chauvin had multiple opportuni-
ties to think about what he was
doing and change course.
But Chauvin attorney Eric
Nelson repeatedly sought to bring
out evidence that the onlookers
were becoming agitated, in an
apparent attempt to show that the
police were distracted by what
they perceived as a growing and
increasingly hostile crowd.

variant from Brazil, as of Tues-
day, according to the Centers for

Health officials say these vari-
ants appear to spread more easily
and quickly than other types.
Experts in the U.K. have reported

creased risk of death, but more

“This legislation is pretty
broad, that looks like it was the
intention of the state Legislature,”
said Stephen Acquario, executive
director of the New York State
Association of Counties. “It looks
like it was also their intention
for local governments to further
regulate that in the community.”
The new law allows cities,
towns and villages to opt out
of allowing adult-use cannabis
retail dispensaries or on-site con-
sumption licenses by passing a
local law by Dec. 31, 2021, or nine
months after the effective date of

antibodies recognize the vari-
ants, adding that more studies
are underway.
Lawrence Gostin, a global
health law professor at George-
town University, said it is plau-
sible that vaccines will lose ef-
fectiveness as the virus mutates
but there is no reason to panic.
“Current generation vaccines
can be adapted to new variants.
We should not be complacent, but
it is likely that science can stay
ahead of the variants,” said Mr.
Gostin, who did not participate
in the survey.
He noted that the COVAX fa-
cility, a global initiative aimed at
equitable vaccine distribution, is
striving to vaccinate 20% or more
of populations in low-income
countries.
“It is unclear whether it will
meet this goal. In any event, at
these low levels the virus will
have ample opportunity to mu-
tate,” he said. “We need to do-
nate doses to COVAX and also
transfer technology to low- and
middle-income countries so they
can manufacture the vaccines
to scale.”

Mr. Cuomo said it could take
years to collect about $300 mil-
lion in annual tax revenues,
though Republicans are skepti-
cal the state will see that much.
California was forced to cut
$223 million from state budget
projections in 2019 due to slower-
than-expected pot sales.
Tax revenues from marijuana
would first cover the state’s cost
of regulating and enforcing the
marijuana legalization law, with
the remainder divided among
schools, drug treatment and pre-
vention programs and a fund for
investing in job skills, adult edu-
cation, mental health and other
services in communities that bore
the brunt of the national and state
drug war.
New York will set a 9% sales
tax on cannabis plus an additional
4% county and local tax and
another tax based on the level
of THC, the active ingredient in
marijuana.

Holy days arrive for the faithful as pandemic eases
BY DAVID CRARY AND MARIAM FAM
ASSOCIATED PRESS
For Christians across the
United States, Easter services
on Sunday will reflect an extra
measure of joy as the nation ex-
periences rising optimism after
a year of pandemic.
Even if still observing restric-
tions, many churches may draw
the largest numbers of in-person
worshippers in months.
It’s a season of major holy
days for other faiths as well, oc-
curring in a brighter mood than
a year ago. Jews are observing
Passover this week, and Mus-
lims will enter the holy month
of Ramadan in about two weeks.
In Houston, the Rev. Mer-
edith Mills is eagerly anticipat-
ing a return to in-person wor-
ship Sunday in the sanctuary of
Westminster United Methodist
Church. Except for a few Christ-
mastime services that drew a
handful of people, the church
has been worshipping on its
front lawn since October.
“Many of our people are two
weeks past their second shot of
vaccine, so the comfort level
is a lot higher now,” said Ms.
Mills, who had her own bout of
COVID-19 in January. “It almost
feels like we’ve been in Lent
for a year, and we are ready for
Easter.”
Ms. Mills recently made a
video of herself walking through
the empty sanctuary and re-
flecting on a year of realization
that God is everywhere — in
people’s homes and “even over

remain vital.
“So this space is about to re-
open,” she said. “On Easter Sun-
day we are going to be masked
and distanced ... but we’re going
to gather and we’re going to sing,
‘Christ the Lord is risen today,
Alleluia, Alleluia.’ We’re going
to let the ‘Alleluia’ ring off of
these walls.”
At St. Barnabas Lutheran
Church in the Chicago suburb
of Cary, attendance inside will
be limited to 50, but there also
will be an outdoor service.
The Rev. Sarah Wilson said
that during the past year, the
congregation has endured “fear,
exhaustion, change, confusion,

ing him until law enforcement
arrived.

But “now that more of us are
getting vaccinated, we’re also ex-
periencing some hope,” Ms. Wil-
son said via email. “Each time
a parishioner tells me they’ve
gotten a shot, I’m so happy.”
Similarly, the Rev. Bob Stec of
Saint Ambrose Catholic Church
in Brunswick, Ohio, said his
parish’s theme for this Easter is
“Alive in Christ.”
“Across our world we have all
experienced a year of dying,” he
said. “After a difficult and chal-
lenging year, we are ready to
walk into a future full of hope.”
Father Stec’s church will be
open for in-person worship,
but for those still wary about
gathering inside there will be
drive-through confession and
Communion, and a depiction of
the Stations of the Cross visible
from the parking lot.
At Mary, Queen of the Ro-
sary Catholic Church in Spen-
cer, Massachusetts, there will
be an indoor service Sunday for
up to 200 worshippers — 40%
of capacity — and an outdoor
service that can be heard over
parishioners’ car radios.
“Everyone wants to be back
… but some chose not to out of
caution,” said the Rev. William
Schipper, the pastor.

holiday has strong parallels to

Pentagon lifts transgender service member ban
Reverses Trump policy; Biden makes good on pledge made during campaign
BY MIKE GLENN
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The Pentagon made good on
a Biden campaign pledge, for-
mally sweeping away policies
instituted by former President
Donald Trump that prevented
transgender people from serving
in the military.
The new policy, approved by
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Aus-
tin, went into effect on Wednes-
day, which is International Trans-
gender Day of Visibility.
“There’s no place for violence
and discrimination on the basis of
sexual orientation, gender iden-
tity or expression or sex charac-
teristics,” Pentagon spokesman
John Kirby told reporters.
Mr. Trump first announced
the military transgender ban on
Twitter in July 2017, taking his
own senior military leadership
by surprise. “Our military must
be focused on decisive and over-
whelming victory and cannot be
burdened with the tremendous
medical costs and disruption that
transgender in the military would
entail,” he tweeted at the time.
The policy revision, which
President Biden announced soon
after taking office, was not un-
expected. It has drawn support

Brazen militia displays pose

BAGHDAD | It was a stark image:
A convoy of masked Shiite militia-
men, armed with machine guns
and rocket-propelled grenades,
driving openly through central
Baghdad denouncing the U.S.
presence in Iraq and threatening
to cut off the prime minister’s ear.
The ominous display under-
scored the growing threat that
rogue militias with deep ties to
neighboring Iran pose for Iraq.
It came at a time when Bagh-
dad seeks to bolster relations
with its Arab neighbors and is
gearing up for early elections,
scheduled for October, amid a
worsening economic crisis and
a global pandemic.
Last week’s procession also
sought to undermine Prime Min-
ister Mustafa al-Kadhimi’s cred-
ibility, with Iran-aligned militias
driving down a major highway
and passing near ministries as
Iraqi security forces looked on.
Ahead of a new round of talks
between the U.S. government and
Iraq, it sent a stark warning that
the militias will not be curbed.

PARIS | French President Em-

announced a three-week nation-

rapid spread of the virus ramped
up pressure on French hospitals.
It was the latest in a series
of setbacks that have plagued
the continent in the fight against
COVID-19, with infection rates
rising in a number of countries
and a vaccination distribution

by delays, supply glitches and
cross-border finger-pointing.

“This change in policy affirms
the inherent worth of all service
members — regardless of their
gender identity, race, religion,

country they love as their authen-
tic selves,” the Washington state

scheduled for next week after
the Iraqi government requested
it, partly in response to pressure
from Shiite political factions and
militias loyal to Iran that have
lobbied for the remaining U.S.
troops to leave Iraq. Shiites are
the clear majority in both Iran
and Iraq, and many Iraqi Shiites
have cultural, religious and eco-
nomic ties to Iran.
The talks, which began in June
under the Trump administra-
tion, would be the first under
President Biden. On the agenda
is an array of issues, including
the future of U.S. combat forces
in the country and the issue of
Iraqi militias acting outside of
state authority. The discussions
are meant to shape the future of
the U.S.-Iraq relationship, a senior
U.S. official recently said.
It is a tightrope for Mr. al-Kad-
himi, who has said that bringing
armed groups under state control
is a goal of his administration but
finds himself increasingly help-
less in reining in the groups. U.S.
officials have said Washington
will use the meetings to clarify
that U.S. forces remain in Iraq
for the sole purpose of ensuring
the Islamic State group “cannot
reconstitute” itself — a signal
that the U.S. seeks to keep the
vaccine, and officials in Belgium
say they fear that a run of unsea-
sonably warm weather will tempt
people outside and increase the
likelihood of viral transmission.
In a televised address to the
nation, Mr. Macron said new ef-
forts are needed as “the epidemic
is accelerating.”
It’s a departure from the
government’s policy in recent
months, which has focused on
regionalized restrictions. School
closures in particular had been
seen as a very last resort.
“We’re going to close nursery,
elementary and high schools for
three weeks,” Mr. Macron said,
adding that a nationwide 7 p.m.- 6
a.m. curfew will be kept in place.
Mr. Macron, who faces a tough
reelection battle next year, said

The new measure is actually

transgender policy, officials said,

year of Mr. Obama’s presidency.

Political analyst Ihsan
Alshamary said the militias’
military-style parade sought to
weaken Mr. al-Kadhimi’s govern-
ment and project strength, at a
time when the Baghdad govern-
ment is trying desperately not
to get caught in the crossfire
between Washington and Tehran.
“It also aims at sending a mes-
sage to Washington: We are the
decision makers, not the govern-
ment,” he added.
The militiamen in the parade
were mostly from a shadowy
Shiite group known as Rabaal-
lah — one of about a dozen that
surfaced after the U.S.-directed
drone strike that killed Iranian
general Qassem Soleimani and
Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi
al-Muhandis in Baghdad in Janu-
ary 2020.
Both Soleimani and al-Mu-
handis were key in commanding
and controlling a wide array of
Iran-backed groups operating in
Iraq, and their deaths in the U.S.
airstrike outraged Iraqi lawmak-
ers, prompting them to approve
a non-binding resolution to oust
U.S.-led coalition forces from the
country.

“They provide a means by which
to assess into the military in one’s
self-identified gender, provided
all appropriate standards are
met.”
The Defense Department
funded a study released earlier
this year that found that two-
thirds of active-duty personnel
across the military services said
they support the idea of serving
alongside transgender personnel.
Mr. Biden signed an executive
order shortly after he assumed
office scrapping the Trump pol-
icy and prohibiting any service
member from being forced out
of the military on the basis of
gender identity. That order will
remain in effect for 30 days,
giving military leaders time to
prepare for the new policy to
take over.
Under the policy, service
members will once again be eli-
gible for government-funded sex
reassignment surgery — as had
been the case during the Obama
administration.
Elaine Donnelly, president of
the conservative Center for Mili-
tary Readiness, accused the Biden
administration of weakening the
cohesion of the armed forces to
appease “woke activists.”
The ominous display from a group of Shiite militiamen driving openly

and Iraq-based observers argue
the militias have splintered into
new, previously unknown groups,
allowing them to claim attacks
under different names to mask
the extent of their involvement.
“They are tools used for ne-
gotiating purposes and putting
pressure on Washington when it
comes to [Iran’s] nuclear file,” Mr.
Alshamary said, referring to ef-
forts under Mr. Biden to resurrect

Tehran and world powers that
former President Donald Trump
withdrew from in 2018.

lieved to be a front for one of

and people with seri-

“If we stay united
in the coming weeks ...
then we will see light at
the end of the tunnel,”
Mr. Macron said.
He said the school
closures were aimed at
avoiding major disruption by bring-
ing forward the date of scheduled
Easter holidays. All children will
get online teaching next week, Mr.
Macron said. Then they will go on
vacation for two weeks.
The centrist president reaf-
firmed his views against a pro-
longed closure of schools as “in-
creasing social inequalities.”
According to figures reported
“President Biden’s military
transgender policies are not
about ‘dignity and respect’ as
advertised,” Ms. Donnelly said
in a statement Wednesday. “Mili-
tary women will have to accept
indignity and disrespect for their
privacy in women-only private
facilities.”
But Aaron Belkin, director of
the Palm Center, a California-
based research institute, said he
looked forward to “a speedy im-
plementation of inclusive policy.”
“The ban will now be replaced
with a single standard for every-
one that, as in the successful pre-
vious policy, will apply equally
to all service members,” he said.
The restoration of Obama-era
transgender policy also means
the Pentagon also will take a sec-
ond look at any service members
who might have been discharged
from the military as a result of
their gender identity, officials
said.
“We should avail ourselves

identity,” Mr. Austin said a Jan. 25

BY BILL GERTZ
CYBERCOM STYMIED ON DOMESTIC ATTACKS
Army Gen. Paul Nakasone, the head of the
Pentagon’s Cyber Command, recently disclosed
how sophisticated hackers from China and Russia
are exploiting American privacy laws to prevent
the command and the National Security Agency
from monitoring and thwarting cyberattacks.
Gen. Nakasone said the command has been
working to counter the Russian-origin SolarWinds
cyberattack and the Chinese-linked Microsoft
cyberattack.
Asked during a Senate Armed Services Com-
mittee hearing how the level of hostile cyberat-
tacks can be curtailed, Gen. Nakasone said: “I think
the first lesson is that we should all take this as
a wake-up call, that this is not business as usual.
These are adversaries that are operating with in-
creased sophistication, scope, scale of what they’re
doing.”
Cybercom and the NSA are legally mandated to
focus their activities and attention overseas based
on privacy laws under the Fourth Amendment,
which protects against unreasonable search and
seizure.
“We truly need to look at the ability for us to
see ourselves, and right now it’s difficult for us to
see ourselves because we have adversaries that are
coming into our nation and being able to utilize
our infrastructure very timely and very effectively
against us,” Gen. Nakasone said.
The general noted reports of foreign interfer-
ence in the U.S. elections and the need to better
understand what the foreign adversaries are doing
inside the country.
Cybercom and the NSA can detect foreign
cyberactivities and attacks. But advanced cyberat-
tack actors are moving quickly and understand
U.S. laws and policies that prevent the military and
intelligence agencies from operating inside the
United States.
In the past, electronic attacks were launched
from different parts of the world. But in recent
years, hackers are operating inside the United
States. The practice created a “blind spot” for the
NSA and Cybercom, a problem the commander
compared to pouring water into a bucket with a
hole.
Cybercom has around 6,000 troops and has
formed 133 teams for defensive and offensive
cyberoperations. NSA has as many as 40,000
employees.
“We can have all the capabilities that we want,
all the teams that we want, but if there’s a hole in
the bucket we’re filling [with] water and the water
is coming out faster than we can fill it in, there’s a
problem,” he said. “And that’s the analogy I would
use in terms of resiliency right now. We have to be
SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND WAGING INFO WAR AGAINST CHINA
The U.S. Special Operations Command is
shifting its focus from battling terrorists to
fighting Chinese disinformation and prepar-
ing for a covert role in any future conflict with
Beijing.
The new focus was disclosed in recent Sen-
ate testimony by SOCOM commander Army
Gen. Richard D. Clarke, who discussed the
creation of a Joint Task Force-Indo-Pacific.
The task force is the first counter-disinfor-
mation commando group of its kind operating
west of the international dateline, Gen. Clarke
told the Senate Armed Services Committee last
week.
“Part and parcel of that is that that element
is focused on information operations so that
China, who works very well in this space of
creating false narratives and not always being
upfront with the messages that they’ve sent,
that we actually are able to tamp down some of
the disinformation that they continuously sow,”
the four-star commander said.
China has engaged in sophisticated propa-
ganda and disinformation operations that have
been given little exposure by commercial news
media or the government. For example, Chinese
officials have tried to deflect criticism of their
handling of the COVID-19 pandemic by spread-
ing the lie that the coronavirus was brought to
the country by the U.S. Army.
Gen. Clarke said information operations are
one part of a major modernization program,
which will also include new weapons and capa-
bilities. A significant portion of the command’s
annual budget of around $16 billion will go for
new precision-strike missiles and better intel-
ligence capabilities, along with high-technology
artificial intelligence systems.
“In order for us to compete effectively in the
future, we have to modernize both our preci-
sion-strike and [intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance abilities] … so that [troops] can
quickly see and sense the battlefield that they
may have to be fighting in the time of crisis,” he
said.
Other new systems will include encrypted
communications and electronic warfare
weapons.
Countering terrorists has been the main ef-
fort of SOCOM until recently and will continue
able to see what’s happening in terms of the broad
depth of our nation.”
The Biden administration is seeking to address
the problem, although the commander did not
elaborate.
Cybercom and the NSA operate outside the
United States as a matter of policy and law. The
FBI and other agencies have authority to operate
domestically but lack the range of technical skills
provided by the command and the agency.
“What I’m identifying right now, though, is our

terrorism to countering new threats from China.
to be a focus of commandos. But a major new
emphasis will be on competing with “great
powers” such as China and Russia as strategic
adversaries.
Gen. Clarke said both states are targeting the
United States below the level of armed conflict
in “gray zone” conflict. Thus, “working in the
information space is absolutely critical,” he said.
After nine combatant commanders, in-
cluding Gen. Clarke, wrote to the director of
national intelligence in January seeking more
support to expose malign activities by China
and Russia, the Pentagon responded by lifting
some restrictions.
“SOCOM, with the other combatant com-
manders, continues to look specifically in the
information space and where we can best
provide capacity against our adversaries,” Gen.
Clarke said.
Commando forces since 2001 have been
trained in culture and language skills needed
for battling Middle East terrorists. Now they
are getting trained to deal with China as a main
focus.
adversaries understand that they can come into
the United States and rapidly utilize an internet
service provider, come up and do their activities
and then take that down before a warrant can be
issued, before we can actually have surveillance by
a civilian authority here in the United States,” he
said. “That’s the challenge that we have right now.”
One solution is to build a greater partnership
between the government and private sector, he
said.
In addition to the domestic-foreign legal divide,
In his prepared testimony, Gen. Clarke said
many of the military’s current challenges take
place in the information domain, “with disin-
formation employed as a political weapon at
unimaginable speed and scale without regard
for geopolitical boundaries.”
The force of nearly 5,000 special operations
troops is at its lowest deployment level since
2001, and the shift in focus on the Chinese and
Russian threats will consume nearly 40% of de-
ployed commandos. The activities involve bol-
stering alliances to counter China, Russia and
other powers, and training and other measures
to fight below the level of armed conflict.
SOCOM is the lead command for what the
Pentagon calls military information support op-
erations, or MISO, and conducts psychological
warfare. The command also operates the MISO
WebOps Center, described as the flagship effort
for military internet operations to expose and
counter foreign propaganda and disinformation
online.
This year, SOCOM will add its first foreign
partners and interagency liaison officials to the
center.
SOCOM has spent $9 billion in the past
five years on modernized weapons and sys-
tems, which include the AC-130 and MC-130
gunships and prototypes of precision-strike
missiles. SOCOM has also acquired hundreds
of AGM-176 Griffin air-to-ground missiles and
small-glide munitions, as well as small-diameter
bombs and precision-guided munitions mari-
time systems, according to budget documents.
Navy weapons on the drawing board for
secret commando operations include wet and
dry submersibles, drone submarines and vessels
for clandestine insertion operations.
Sen. James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma, the
ranking Republican on the Senate Armed
Services Committee, said during last week’s
hearing that both China and Russia are expand-
ing their use of irregular warfare involving
cyberattacks, disinformation, proxy forces and
economic blackmail globally.
“They’ve proven these tactics are effective in
places like Ukraine, Syria and the South China
Sea, and now they’re exporting them to Af-
rica and to the Western Hemisphere,” said Mr.
Inhofe.
the general said, information-sharing needs to be
improved to counter cyberattacks.
The SolarWinds and Microsoft attacks took
place in the United States, and legal barriers and
disincentives prevented private-sector companies
from sharing information about the attacks with
the government.
“We have a difficulty as a government under-
standing the totality of the actual intrusion. So
that’s being worked,” the four-star general said.

to do anything in carrying out
their journalistic duties that is not
aligned with the highest profes-
sional standards.”
The controversy highlights
the bureaucratic conflict over
legal demands of federal offi-
cials and reporters at government
news organizations that operate
differently from those working at
traditional, private-sector media.
Dana Sade, a lawyer with
USAGM, stated in internal emails
sent last week that the recent
policy covers the preservation
of reporters’ written communica-
tions, such as emails and texts,
and not recorded exchanges. Fed-
eral communications must be
preserved legally under National
Archives and Records Adminis-
tration regulations.
Ms. Sade, the oversight board’s
assistant general counsel, wrote
in an email circulated internally
that if reporters are unable to
use government-provided email
systems to preserve required re-
cords, “please screen shot and
send to your USAGM email ac-
count” in order to comply “with
the law and USAGM policy.”
Strong objections
The rules have been in place
at USAGM for three years and
in federal law longer, she noted.
But according to internal
emails on the topic obtained by
The Washington Times, several
reporters at VOA strongly object
to the requirements.
VOA television correspondent
Carolyn Presutti said the rules
undermine news-gathering.
“My additional fear — when
this new rule gets known to the
public, our sources will disap-
pear,” she stated in an email. “No
one will talk with VOA [on the
record] or as a source after they
find out reporters are required to
screen-shot our conversations.”
Ms. Presutti said providing
source-sensitive information to
the USAGM “puts our sources
in danger.”
“The golden rule we all
learned in Journalism 101 was:
Protect Your Sources. It is in our
Voice of America has been embroiled in controversy since the Trump administration. In the latest revolt,
reporters are opposing the new leaders who say they are seeking to enforce federal record-keeping law.
ethical core to do that. We can-
not compromise our journalism
because we happen to be govern-
ment employees,” she stated.
Another VOA reporter said
the requirement violates the
broadcast service’s indepen-
dence, a “firewall” separating
USAGM from VOA.
“Speaking as a Pulitzer Prize-
winning, five times Emmy Award-
winning, two times Edward R.
Murrow award-winning jour-
nalist, there is only one way to
approach this issue — USAGM
should respect Voice of America’s
firewall protections,” Lynn Davis
wrote in an email.
David Jones, a VOA editor,
stated in reply to Ms. Davis: “In-
deed Lynn. However we must
also respect the U.S. Criminal
Code and other laws passed by
Congress and signed by the presi-
dent. That means a good faith
effort by all of us to find solutions
we all can live with.”
Mr. Jones, a former Wash-
ington Times editor, said the
bottom line is “we are subject to
the same law that is designed to
prevent White House aides from
establishing secret policies.”
“No lawyer is going to tell us
we can ignore that. So what we
need to be thinking about is how
we can preserve our messages as
the law requires and still keep our
sources safe. Ideas are welcome.”
Ms. Sade, the USAGM attor-
ney, wrote that if sending records
information poses security or
confidentiality problems, “please
explore other options” such cre-
ating and sending locked PDF
files to work emails or storing
them on computers. Ms. Sade also
said reporters will need to take
screenshots of Facebook pages in-
volving covered communications.
“The bottom line is that there
are ways to comply with the re-
cord-keeping requirements that
apply to all federal employees
without interfering with jour-
nalists’ important source rela-
tionships or putting anyone in
danger,” she said.
Cecily Hilleary, a VOA re-
porter who covers American In-
dian issues, said the use of confi-
dential sources has allowed her
to develop a rapport with many
people who do not trust those
who are not American Indian.
“As one Mohawk journalist
once told me, ‘When the VOA
calls for an interview, it’s like the
FBI knocking at the door.’ He was
only half-joking,” she wrote in a
March 24 email.
Most American Indians

communicate predominantly
with the VOA reporter on
Facebook.
“I am acutely aware of my
responsibility as a journalist and
as a USAGM employee,” Ms. Hil-
leary wrote. “But I would be un-
able to do my job if required
to communicate via work email
alone and hope you will make an
exception in light of these special
circumstances.”
Confidential sources
Carla Babb, a VOA defense
reporter, said she is often re-
quired to cite Pentagon officials
as confidential sources.
“Some of these sources would
lose their jobs if they were identi-
fied via screenshots in my gov-
ernment email that could break
their anonymity,” she stated.
Ms. Babb said the new rules
would lead to the Pentagon to
exclude VOA reporters “if they
knew that I was required to email
a screenshot of our conversation
in a way that would create a re-
cord that identifies them.”
“Bottom line — this require-
ment will regularly prevent me
from doing my job,” she said.
After Iran was suspected of
placing mines on tankers in the
Arabian Sea, Pentagon officials
Iranian involvement, including
photos that were provided before
their release to nongovernment
news reporters.
“If I had to start taking screen-
shots of my subsequent conversa-
tions, it would be very obvious
who my initial sources were,
which would prevent me from
honoring their request for ano-
nymity,” she stated.
Similar information was pro-
vided to VOA by Pentagon of-
ficials in advance of other news
outlets.
“I’m very concerned that
requiring reporters to make a
record of all work-related con-
versations via government email,
government phone or [computer]
would be detrimental to VOA’s
core mission,” she said.
VOA’s Jeff Seldin, who covers
national security issues, wrote
in an email that any news source
concerned about confidential-
ity would not provide informa-
tion if told about the record-
keeping procedure. He agreed
that the rules violated VOA’s
independence.
“If any and all information
and documentation can and will
be shared publicly, VOA’s cred-
ibility could be jeopardized,” he
wrote. “I would guess VOA is not
the only federal entity that has
such concerns about protecting
confidentiality, though we may
well be the only one charged by
law with practicing journalism.”
During the Trump admin-
istration, VOA became one of
several outlets that battled with
USAGM’s first Senate-confirmed
director, Michael Pack, who drew
fire from critics by enforcing
rules requiring VOA reporters
and editors to abide by a charter
and follow government security
guidelines. Critics within the
broadcast outlets accused the
Trump administration of politi-
cizing the agency.
On Wednesday, after inqui-
ries about the policy change
were made by The Times, Mr.
Jones, the VOA editor, notified
reporters in an email that the
USAGM board had given ground
in the face of opposition from its
reporters.
“Our most recent advice from
[the office of general counsel] is
that ‘We have no new policy’ and
‘the bottom line is that everything
is the same. Reporters notes must
remain sacrosanct — i.e. their
own — period. And that they are
not being turned over to anyone,
period.’ ”
However, Mr. Jones noted
that additional instructions on
federal record-keeping may be
forthcoming and will outline “a
way to preserve those written
conversations in a way that is
completely secure.”
A person close to USAGM said
agency managers “caved” in back-
ing down from the screenshot
requirement.
Trump administration manag-
ers at USAGM pushed through
several needed reforms, but the
record-keeping procedures are
counterintuitive, the person said.
Mr. Pack was dismissed as
USAGM chief executive shortly
after President Biden took office.
VOA also came under fire re-
cently for what critics said were
improper security screening
practices in hiring foreign nation-
als and in granting access to clas-
sified information for employees.
During his 18 months in office,
Mr. Pack replaced the directors
of government-run and -funded
news outlets. One VOA director
held over from the Obama ad-
ministration, Amanda Bennett,
resigned along with her deputy
shortly before Mr. Pack took of-
fice. Broadcast officials appointed
during the Trump administration
were opposed by many VOA re-
porters and others, who in some
instances filed lawsuits against
USAGM managers.
Under the Biden administra-
tion, the VOA rehired one Persian-
language service manager who
was slated for dismissal under Mr.
Pack for misuse of funds.
Dan Robinson, former VOA
chief White House reporter, said
the latest controversy highlights
the fact that VOA reporters are
government workers operating
under different rules.
“VOA journalists for years
have considered themselves no
different from colleagues in non-
government media,” he said. “Oc-
casionally, and to their chagrin,
they’re reminded of the reality.”

BIDEN that Mr. Biden’s plans repeal a $10,000

From page A1
highway system and the space race
decades ago.”
He said his proposal would create mil-
lions of jobs and enable the U.S. to stay
ahead of China in the jockeying among
world superpowers.
“It’s big, yes. It’s bold, yes. And we can
get it done,” he said. “It’s time to build our
economy from the bottom up and from
the middle out, not the top down.”
The plan includes $620 billion for
transportation infrastructure, including
an estimated 20,000 miles of roadway re-
pair, $650 billion for universal broadband,
clean water, upgrades to the electric grid
and affordable housing, $400 billion for
caregiving initiatives for seniors and the
disabled, and $580 billion for research and
development, manufacturing and training.
To pay for the new spending, Mr. Biden
wants to increase the U.S. corporate tax
rate from 21% to 28%, increase the global
minimum tax rate applied to U.S. corpo-
rations to 21%, impose a minimum 15%
tax on income companies use to report
profits, and eliminate tax breaks for fossil
fuel companies, among other changes to
the tax code.
Mr. Biden vowed to have “good faith”
negotiations with any Republicans who
want to get something done.
“There’s no reason why it can’t be
bipartisan,” the president said from Pitts-
burgh, where Mr. Biden kicked off his 2020
presidential bid nearly two years ago. “The
divisions of the moment shouldn’t stop us
from doing the right thing for the future.”
But his promise to bring bipartisanship
to Washington has run headfirst into deep
partisan divisions on Capitol Hill.
Democrats ushered through Mr.
Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan
through a streamlined process, known as
budget reconciliation, without any Repub-
lican support.
Now he is navigating rough waters on
infrastructure.
Republicans scoffed at the price of the
package as well as the proposed tax in-
creases the president is seeking to pay for
his vision. They have cast the proposal as a
grab bag of liberal policies and warned that
raising taxes on businesses and wealthy
Americans will hurt economic growth
and flatten paychecks.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McCo-
nnell, Kentucky Republican, likened the
ASSOCIATED PRESS
President Biden announced his
infrastructure plans in Pittsburgh, where
he launched his presidential campaign.
package to a “Trojan horse.”
“It’s called infrastructure. But inside the
Trojan horse is going to be more borrowed
money and massive tax increases on all
the productive parts of our economy,” Mr.
McConnell said.
Former President Donald Trump
helped frame the opposition. He said Mr.
Biden’s “radical plan” helps China and
other nations, and “will crush American
workers and decimate U.S. manufacturing,
while giving special tax privileges to out-
sourcers, foreign and giant multinational
corporations.”
“It is the exact OPPOSITE of putting
America First — it is putting America
LAST!” he said in a statement.
Senate Majority Leader Charles E.
Schumer, New York Democrat, anticipated
the Republican backlash. His office has
signaled that he could try to rely on budget
reconciliation to circumvent Republican
opponents.
“Addressing infrastructure, climate
and environmental justice together, and
creating millions of good-paying jobs, is
just the right combination to meet head
on the challenges that America now faces,”
Mr. Schumer said.
Still, Mr. Schumer and House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, have
little room for error given their slim ma-
jorities in the Senate and House, and they
will have to figure out how to please the
liberal and moderate members in their
ranks.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New
York Democrat, has said Mr. Biden’s pro-
posal “is not nearly enough” and “needs
to be way bigger.”
Reps. Bill Pascrell Jr. and Josh Got-
theimer of New Jersey and Thomas Suozzi
of New York, meanwhile, are demanding
cap on the state and local tax deduction,
known in taxspeak as SALT, which was
one of the more contentious features of
the Trump tax cuts in 2017.
Mr. McConnell mocked House Demo-
crats for settling on a tax break that over-
whelmingly flows to the wealthy as their
line in the sand.
“Don’t worry, coastal elites. House
Democrats are demanding a special SALT
carve-out that would cut taxes for wealthy
people in blue states,” he said.
Business groups said there are viable
ways to pay for much-needed infrastruc-
ture without an across-the-board corpo-
rate tax rate hike.
“Too many companies are currently
paying little to no corporate income tax,
while others pay full freight,” said Michael
Hanson, senior executive vice president of
public affairs at the Retail Industry Lead-
ers Association. “This disparity needs
to be addressed — whether it’s closing
loopholes or reinstituting some form of
minimum corporate tax — before raising
the corporate rate a single point.”
The bulk of the money would be spent
over eight years, spanning Mr. Biden’s
would-be two terms in office.
But the White House estimated that
the structure of the tax increases means
the plan would take about 15 years to fully
balance before reducing the debt — a bit
of budget trickery that assumes Congress
won’t try to cut the taxes after all the
money is out the door.
Federal budget accounting is quickly
becoming irrelevant, said Chris Edwards,
director of tax policy studies at the Cato
Institute, a libertarian think tank.
“Presidents used to try to make the
numbers add up, but that’s gone out the
window because the government seems
to be able to borrow trillions of dollars
from global capital markets with little
short-term damage,” Mr. Edwards said.
“But all the borrowing will undermine our
standard of living in the long run.”
Mr. Edwards said the plan lays the
groundwork for massive amounts of “cor-
porate welfare” to major companies such
as General Electric, AT&T and Tesla.
“Then Biden turns around and wants
to hike corporate taxes on these same
companies, which would undermine their
capital investment in these same activities
such as broadband,” he said. “Biden’s plan
would be a giant, wasteful circular flow
of money from corporations, through
Washington, then back to corporations.”
BUILDING AN INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN
Here is a closer look at how the $2 trillion in President Biden’s infrastructure plan
would be spent and how he plans to pay for it:
Projects
◾ $115 billion to modernize bridges, highways and roads that are in
the worst shape. The White House outline estimated that 20,000
miles of roadways would be repaired, while economically significant
bridges and 10,000 smaller bridges would get fixed.
◾ $85 billion for public transit, doubling the federal government’s commitment
in an effort to shorten the repair backlog and expand service.
◾ $80 billion to modernize Amtrak’s heavily trafficked Northeast
Corridor line, address its repair backlog and improve freight rail.
◾ $174 billion to build 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations, electrify 20% of
school buses and electrify the federal fleet, including U.S. Postal Service vehicles.
◾ $25 billion to upgrade air travel and airports and
$17 billion for waterways and coastal ports.
◾ $20 billion to redress communities whose neighborhoods,
typically non-White, were divided by highway projects.
◾ $50 billion to improve infrastructure resilience
in the aftermath of natural disasters.
◾ $111 billion to replace lead water pipes and upgrade sewer systems.
◾ $100 billion to build high-speed broadband that
provides 100% coverage for the country.
◾ $100 billion to upgrade the resilience of the power grid and
move to clean electricity, among other power projects.
◾ $213 billion to produce, preserve and retrofit more than
2 million affordable houses and buildings.
◾ $100 billion to upgrade and build schools.
◾ $18 billion to modernize Veterans Affairs hospitals and
clinics, and $10 billion for federal buildings.
◾ $400 billion to expand long-term care services under Medicaid.
◾ $180 billion for research and development projects.
◾ $300 billion for manufacturing, including funds for the
computer chip sector, and improved access to capital and
investment in clean energy through federal procurement.
◾ $100 billion for workforce development.
Tax increases
Mr. Biden’s plan would finance projects by:
◾ Raising the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%, one of the
measures that over 15 years would cover the cost of the infrastructure
program and then help to reduce the budget deficit.
◾ Imposing a 21% global minimum tax so that companies cannot
avoid taxes by shifting income to low-tax countries.
◾ Making it harder for businesses to merge with foreign companies
to avoid U.S. taxes, a process known as inversion.
◾ Eliminating tax breaks for companies that shift assets abroad
and denying deductions for sending jobs overseas.
◾ Imposing a 15% minimum tax on the income that
corporations report to shareholders.
◾ Eliminating tax preferences for the fossil fuels sector.
◾ Increasing IRS audits of large corporations.

From page A1
like I normally would last year would
get rough.”
Some things change, some don’t
The 5,000 allowed at Nationals Park
is on the low end for the league. In Balti-
more, the Orioles will host about 11,000.
At Globe Life Field in Texas, which
opened last season, the Rangers will
welcome 100% capacity for opening day
before reducing crowds for subsequent
games. Attracting a full house might be
optimistic, though, even for a stadium
with that new car smell. An exhibition
game Monday drew just 12,911 fans.
The District of Columbia originally
denied the Nationals’ request to have
fans, but city officials relented midway
through March. The team plans to ne-
gotiate for additional fans to be allowed
partway through April.
Opening day might not look like it
normally does, with a full ballpark of
fans to add to the traditions involved:
the singing of the national anthem, the
welcoming of new players to the club
and unbridled hopes for what might be
ton fans who were able to get tickets,
that’s quite all right.
“Well, shorter lines at the concession
stands. That’s one bonus, I suppose,”
said William Maksymiec, a deacon for
the Archdiocese of Washington who
has been a half-season plan holder since
2005. “Knowing Nats fans, though, I’ll be
honest with you: We are very vocal. And
I think we’ll be very supportive of the
team. I don’t think you’re going to feel
like it’s a truly empty house.”
For Washington, ticket priority was
based on season ticket tenure and plan
size. When Mr. Maksymiec logged in to
search for available tickets on Wednes-
day morning last week, he was pleasantly
surprised. Out of curiosity, though, Mr.
Maksymiec logged online again that
night. All the tickets were gone.
“Let’s just say, a very positive re-
sponse by the fans,” Mr. Maksymiec said.
“They moved very quickly.”
Happy New Year’s
On opening day, Ms. Reynosa typi-
cally arrives early and makes her way
around Nationals Park, greeting all the
ushers and fans she missed during the
offseason.
“We actually say, ‘Happy New Year’s’
to each other as we go around,” Ms.
Reynosa said. “And there’s hugs, and
you get excited as you’re seeing people.”
While Nationals fans are excited to
watch live baseball again, the communal
atmosphere is a major reason why they
enjoy going to games. That will be muted
this season, at least for the beginning,
with a limited quantity of fans and social
distancing still in effect for the pandemic.
“It’s just really a fun time to be with
friends and also enjoy the game,” Mr.
Maksymiec said. “Hopefully, come the
end of the year, we might get back to
our normal seats — please — with the
vaccine coming through.”
Beyond fewer fans in the stands, part
of the Nationals’ plan includes several
alterations and additions to the park.
Instead of entering whichever gate
they choose, fans will have digital tickets
with color-coded gate assignments. No
cash will be accepted for food or bever-
ages, parking or at team store locations.
Hundreds of hand sanitizer stations have
been added, and MERV 13 air filters have
been installed at indoor locations.
“I’m hopeful that the precautions the
Nationals are taking will make it safe,”
Ms. Reynosa said, “but I don’t think I
would turn down the opportunity [to
attend opening day] at this point.”
The real title defense
After the Nationals secured their first
World Series title in 2019, they acted
like champions. They visited the White
House, hosted a parade downtown and
rounded out the festivities with second
baseman Brian Dozier pulling off his
shirt to dance to Pedro Capo’s “Calma.”
A second celebration some months
later, with the euphoria of a title bubbling
into opening day, was dashed. No fans
were there to celebrate with the team,
and the planned banner-raising and ring
ceremonies were shelved.
Instead, a 2019 pennant was attached
above the video board to recognize the
previous season’s accomplishment with-
out the traditional fanfare.
“Last year didn’t feel like a real base-
ball season, if I’m being honest,” said
Garrett Lang, who said he has been to
just about every opening day since the
Nationals moved to the District. “To me,
we’re coming off a World Series win
going into this season.”
Mr. Lang isn’t alone in that feeling.
Washington enters the 2021 campaign
with the core from that World Series
team intact. Scherzer — who started
the pivotal Game 7 against the Houston
Astros — is back, as is fellow ace Stephen
Strasburg. Ryan Zimmerman returned
from a year hiatus, and Trea Turner and
Juan Soto have developed into stars.
But plenty of players from that title-
winning group have moved on. Those
players won’t receive the hero’s welcome
that Mr. Campbell said they deserved.
There’s no changing that now, though.
So Mr. Campbell will settle for what he
does have: the opportunity to return to
Nationals Park for the first time since
Game 5 of the 2019 World Series.
He knows he will be emotional as he
walks through the gates, makes his way
to his seat and watches as Scherzer fires
the first pitch of the season.
“I already told my wife, ‘I’ve got to
wear some dark sunglasses,’ ” Mr. Camp-
bell said. “I know it’s a night game, but I’m
going to tear up a couple times, for sure.”
DEATH NOTICE

FARMERS at Black farmers, socially disadvantaged

From page A1
to fewer than 50,000 of the nation’s 3.4
million farmers, according to National
Black Farmers Association President
John Boyd Jr.
Mr. Boyd, a fourth-generation farmer
in Southside, Virginia, said Black farm-
ers are “facing extinction” thanks to
the USDA’s “differential treatment and
discrimination.”
“By providing debt relief to Black
farmers and other farmers of color, the
American Rescue Plan Act begins to
fulfill the promises of the Black farmer
lawsuits and, more importantly, gives
new life to Black farmers facing fore-
closure,” Mr. Boyd said in his testimony.
“But there is still much more to be done
to right these historic wrongs and to
ensure that Black farmers remain part
of the fabric of American agriculture.”
The USDA has an acknowledged
history of racial bias. Since 1999, the
department has paid out more than $2
billion to settle claims of discriminatory
loan practices against Black farmers
stemming from the class-action lawsuit
Pigford v. Glickman.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack
promised at the hearing to “do every-
thing we can to root out whatever sys-
temic racism and barriers may exist at
the Department of Agriculture directed
farmers and people who live in persis-
tently poor areas in rural America.”
He touted a provision in the stimulus
package earmarking $4 billion for Black,
Hispanic, American Indian and Asian
American farmers to pay off 120% of
outstanding debts, as well as $1 billion for
training, education, technical assistance,
grants and loans.
The provision, pulled from the Emer-
gency Relief for Farmers of Color Act
introduced by Sen. Raphael G. Warnock,
Georgia Democrat, was intended to
“address the historical discrimination
against socially disadvantaged farmers
and ranchers and address issues,” but
critics described it as fighting one form
of discrimination with another.
“It’s one thing to gear relief programs
to farmers who have fallen on hard times
and are struggling to make ends meet,”
Mr. Tiffany said. “But it is fundamen-
tally unfair for the government to treat
farmers differently based on immutable
characteristics.”
Heritage Foundation senior fellow
Mike Gonzalez described the earmark
for minority farmers as fighting racism
with racism.
“We cannot have racial color-con-
scious laws in America,” Mr. Gonzalez
said. “This is going to wind up in the
courts. And it should.”
Indeed, the provision’s legality has
been called into question. Hans Bader, a
civil rights lawyer in Washington, called
the measure providing debt relief to all
farmers except White ones “an uncon-
stitutional racial preference.”
“To be constitutional, there would
have to be evidence of recent, widespread
discrimination against minorities by the
federal government in access to agricul-
tural loans or subsidies,” Mr. Bader said
in an email. “But such discrimination has
not occurred in recent years.”
Mr. Vilsack said the earmark for
“farmers of color” represents “a historic
step forward in responding to the cu-
mulative effect of discrimination in the
past,” but Mr. Bader argued that a “racial
preference can’t be used to ‘remedy’ dis-
crimination in the distant past.”
He cited the 1987 Hammon v. Barry
case in which the federal appeals court
in the District of Columbia ruled that
“discrimination against minorities that
is not recent — like discrimination 14
years ago — does not justify race-based
affirmative action in their favor.”
The plan to group Black agricultural
landowners with those of Hispanic,
Asian and American Indian descent is
also problematic, given that courts have
struck down racial set-asides for minor-
ity groups without the same history of
discrimination as Black Americans.
“So even if this racial preference were
fine as to Black people (it isn’t), it would
be invalid as to other racial groups,” Mr.
Bader said in the email. “Finally, the
complete exclusion of Whites from debt
relief would be invalid even if a prefer-
ence for minorities were permitted.”
House Agriculture Committee Chair-
man David Scott, Georgia Democrat,
argued that the USDA is still plagued
by systemic racism and that the Pigford
settlements were “too little, too late for
the Black farmers who lost their farms
and livelihoods due to long-standing,
systemic discrimination.”
“And this systemic discrimination
continues to be felt by Black farmers
today, who are still disadvantaged in
USDA programs,” Mr. Scott said.
Mr. Vilsack agreed. Despite the good-
faith efforts of the past, he said, “more
needs to be done to dig deeper into the
systemic causes and barriers that per-
petuate discriminatory practices and to
deal directly with the cumulative effect
of discrimination.”
He praised the stimulus for “the trans-
formative debt relief it provides to Black,
Indigenous, Hispanic and other farmers
of color.”
Mr. Tiffany argued that the race-based
relief runs afoul of the Constitution.
“To extend assistance to some farmers
but not others based on race undermines
the Constitution’s guarantee of equal
protection for all Americans,” Mr. Tif-
fany said. “If we are serious about ending
discrimination in the agriculture sector,
the first step is for the government to stop
doing the discriminating.”

VIRGINIA
Northam’s office blasts suits against transgender policy
Calls challenges from conservative groups ‘beyond the pale’
BY EMILY ZANTOW
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s office
on Wednesday chastised recent lawsuits
challenging the state’s new guidelines
for transgender students.
“[W]e don’t normally comment on
litigation, but this is beyond the pale,” a
Northam spokesperson told The Wash-
ington Times. “Virginia stands firmly
with trans youth and their families, and
we are proud to have adopted inclusive
policies that ensure the safety and dig-
nity of all children.”
The comments came in response to
two lawsuits filed this week by faith-
based conservative groups that argue
the policies violate religious exercise
and privacy rights.

March 6, schools must allow “access to

rooms that correspond to a student’s

State police to probe officer-involved deadly Virginia Beach shooting
BY BEN FINLEY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Virginia Beach police have turned
over their investigation of an officer-
involved shooting of a former college
football player to Virginia State Police
after the Black man’s death amid a rash
of weekend shootings drew heightened
public scrutiny.
Donovon W. Lynch, 25, was shot by
a Virginia Beach police officer in the
last of three separate shooting incidents
along the city’s popular oceanfront strip
of hotels and restaurants. The shootings
left one other person dead and eight oth-
ers wounded.
The case has drawn calls for a thor-
ough and transparent investigation from
such figures as Grammy-winning musi-
cian Pharrell Williams, who says Mr.
Lynch was his cousin.
“The Lynch family and the involved
officer each deserve a comprehensive and
thorough investigation into this incident,
and we appreciate the public’s patience
VIRGINIA
Northam proposes marijuana legalization
for adults in Virginia to begin this summer
BY SARAH RANKIN AND DENISE LAVOIE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
RICHMOND | Adults in Virginia could
legally possess and grow small amounts
of marijuana beginning in July, about three
years sooner than initially envisioned,
under changes the governor proposed
Wednesday to legislation passed earlier
this year.
“Our Commonwealth is committed
to legalizing marijuana in an equitable
way,” Gov. Ralph Northam said in a news
release outlining the date change and other
amendments he is seeking. “Virginia will
become the 15th state to legalize marijuana
— and these changes will ensure we do it
with a focus on public safety, public health,
and social justice.”
Advocates on all sides of the issue have
been eagerly waiting for weeks to see what
changes Mr. Northam, a Democrat, would
propose to the bill that cleared the General
Assembly in February.
The measure has been a top priority for
Democrats who control the state govern-
ment, who consider it a necessary step to
end the disparate treatment of people of
color under current marijuana laws.
But lawmakers struggled to reach
agreement during the session, passing
a bill that almost no one seemed fully
satisfied with. It would not have legalized
marijuana until 2024, which racial justice
advocates said was far too long to wait.
Mr. Northam’s office said his decision
to speed up legalization was driven by
a state study from last year that found
Black Virginians were disproportionately
policed and convicted for using marijuana,
and by data from state courts that show the
trend has continued even since lawmakers
decriminalized marijuana last year.
Discussions with lawmakers went
down to the wire; Wednesday was Mr.
Northam’s deadline for taking action on
the legislation.
gender identity.” The rule also applies
to physical education and sleeping ar-
rangements for overnight field trips.
Students, teachers and staff also must
address transgender students’ by their
gender pronouns “without any substan-
tiating evidence.” Failure to do so may
constitute discrimination or harassment.
A lawsuit filed Monday in Lynchburg
Circuit Court by the Christian Action
Network (CAN) argues that the new
rules do not adhere to the state’s require-
ment for guidelines to be “evidence-
based best practices.”
“Virginia’s transgender student poli-
cies show nothing but contempt and
disdain for parental rights, traditional
values, and the religious teachings of all
major religions,” CAN President Martin
Mawyer said in a press release. “These
policies are dangerous, near-sighted,
and insulting.”
CAN wants a judge to find prob-
able cause for a reversible error in the
as we pursue every facet of it,” Virginia
Beach Police Chief Paul Neudigate said
Tuesday in a statement.
Both Mr. Lynch and the police officer
who shot him are Black. That officer
and another officer who saw Mr. Lynch’s
shooting have both said that Mr. Lynch
had a handgun, police said Monday.
The city’s police department also said
that a “separate, independent witness cor-
roborated that Mr. Lynch was in posses-
sion of a handgun” earlier that evening.
But the body camera worn by the officer
who shot Lynch had not been activated
“for unknown reasons,” police said.
The other officer was a plainclothes
detective who was responding to one of
the evening’s two other shootings and
was not wearing a camera, Chief Neu-
digate said.
The police chief told a special City
Council meeting held Tuesday to dis-
cuss the shootings that the community
deserves more transparency. But he said
“we have very little information to guide
our response in our investigation.”
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s changes to the marijuana legalization bill allow adults
21 and up to possess up to one ounce of cannabis without the intent to distribute.
His office issued a press release filled
with supportive remarks from legisla-
tive leaders in both chambers and two
Republicans, signaling that his proposed
changes have the votes to become law once
legislators reconvene in April.
“I am grateful to the advocates and
legislators for their dedicated work on
this important issue, and I look forward
to this legislation passing next month,”
Mr. Northam said.
The governor’s amendments would
allow adults 21 and up to legally possess
up to one ounce of cannabis without the
intent to distribute beginning July 1. They
also would allow the home cultivation of
up to four plants per household begin-
ning July 1.
Mr. Northam’s amendments would
maintain current public safety measures
that prohibit smoking marijuana while
driving, smoking while driving a school
bus and possession of marijuana on school
grounds.
It will be years before legal retail sales
follow. The bill, hundreds of pages long,

A second lawsuit was filed Tuesday
in Richmond Circuit Court by The Fam-
ily Foundation, which says the Virginia
Department of Education violated a
law requiring officials to respond to
legal concerns about policies brought
up during the public comment period.
One reportedly unaddressed con-
cern mentioned in the lawsuit is the
lack of policy exceptions for those who
“maintain orthodox religious precepts
about the distinct and complementary
nature of male and female.”
“The Constitution of Virginia en-
sures that the fundamental right of

During the legislative session, the Sen-
ate sought to legalize simple possession
beginning in July, but House Democrats
argued that legalization without a legal
market for marijuana could promote the
growth of the black market.
Mr. Northam announced Wednesday
that he is seeking two related budget
amendments, one to boost funding for
a public awareness campaign and the
other for funding to help law enforcement
officials recognize and prevent drugged
driving.
House Majority Leader Charniele
Herring signaled her support for the
governor’s changes, saying in a state-

laws beginning this summer, while also

State inks $4 billion deal with
Amtrak, CSX to boost rail
Gov. Ralph Northam signed a $3.7
billion deal Tuesday with Amtrak and
CSX Transportation that officials say
will break loose a major East Coast
chokepoint and allow for a dramatic
expansion of passenger and commuter
rail.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete
Buttigieg attended Tuesday’s signing
ceremony at the Alexandria Amtrak
station and said it was a preview of
what can be accomplished if Congress
passes a massive infrastructure bill
that President Biden was to unveil
Wednesday.
The broad outline of agreement
was announced in December 2019, but
took more than a year to formalize
with multiple agencies and approvals
involved.
A major piece of the puzzle is con-
struction of a new Long Bridge over
the Potomac River for passenger rail.
Currently passenger and freight rail
share the century-old bridge, creat-
ing a point of gridlock for Eastern rail
traffic. Under the plan, passenger and
freight rail will be separated.
The project will allow Amtrak to
double service between Richmond and
Washington. And the state’s commuter
rail service, Virginia Railway Express,
expects a 60% increase in service, in-
cluding weekend and late-night service
for the first time.
Mr. Northam said the rail project
is one-third the cost of adding lanes
to Interstate 95 in Virginia and just as
effective at getting people where they
need to go.
In all, Virginia is acquiring 384
miles of CSX right-of-way, and 223
miles of track, primarily on the I-95,

the General Assembly passed a law
last year requiring the department to
develop model policies on the treatment
of transgender students. Schools are
required to implement policies that co-
incide with, or are more comprehensive
than, the state guidelines by the start of
the 2021-22 academic year.
“The key guiding principle of the
model policies is that all children have
a right to learn, free from discrimination
and harassment,” the 26-page guidance
document states.
Rules for transgender athletes — a
topic of controversy in other states —
are not included in the regulations be-
cause they are controlled by the Virginia
High School League.
The league permits students to play
sports on teams that differ from the sex
they were assigned at birth. In order to
be eligible, a school’s principal must sign
a “Transgender Appeals” application
confirming that the “student’s gender
identity is bona fide and not for the
purpose of gaining an unfair advantage
in competitive athletics.”

“But there is some human capacity in
there; that you could be confronted with
an immediate threat,” he said. “And the
last thing that you’re probably thinking

Chief Neudigate said his department
on Monday formally requested that state
police take the investigation.
That same day, Mr. Williams told
his 10 million Twitter followers that Mr.
Lynch was his cousin.
“It is critical my family and the other
victims’ families get the transparency
they deserve. VA Beach is the epitome

In addition to Northern and Central
Virginia passenger and commuter
rail, the project will increase Amtrak
service to Newport News and Norfolk.
It includes right-of-way acquisition
from Petersburg to Ridgeway, North
Carolina, and from Doswell to Clifton
Forge.
Officials said the Petersburg
acquisition could facilitate expansion
of high-speed rail service, while the
Clifton Forge acquisition can be used
to expand east-west passenger service.
The work is not expected to be
completed until 2030.

wrongly imprisoned for crimes they
didn’t commit.
The House of Delegates gave the
measure final approval Tuesday, send-
ing the bill to Gov. Larry Hogan.
The measure would set a standard
process for compensation. The bill
would repeal current state law that
leaves payments to the discretion of
the Maryland Board of Public Works.
Under the bill, an exoneree would
apply to an administrative law judge,
and compensation would be based on
a formula set to the Maryland median
household income.
The judge also could provide other
benefits, such as housing accommo-
dations, health care and educational
training.
Lawmakers have weighed changes
to the law after the Board of Public
Works decided compensation for five
men wrongly imprisoned in 2019 for
the first time in 15 years.
The measure is named after Walter
Lomax, who is one of the five men and
has championed reforms.

COMMENT & ANALYSIS
Write on, Mr. President
Biden should answer North Korea’s missiles with a missive
O
ld habits die hard, and North Korea
has once again greeted new Amer-
ican leadership with the rattling of
the saber. Rather than allow the unsettling
sound to reverberate unanswered, a more
productive course would be to reaffirm
progress toward denuclearization of the
Korean Peninsula made during the previ-
ous administration, and to ask the North
to do the same.
During President Biden’s brief tenure,
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has
already ignored a perfunctory entreaty
for the resumption of diplomatic contacts,
and Mr. Kim’s powerful sister has blistered
the air with rebuke of routine U.S.-South
Korean military exercises. Together they
have assuredly watched with satisfaction
while their Chinese diplomatic allies
administered a verbal spanking to U.S.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken during
recent introductory discussions in Alaska.
More ominously, the North Korean
dictator has drawn international concern
by firing short-range missiles into the
western sea, followed by the launch of
what defense analysts believe were two
advanced ballistic missiles. Mr. Biden’s
response was to point out, half-heartedly,
that the tests violated a United Nations
resolution but, in effect, so what?
It was less than two years ago that
President Trump arrived at the Demili-
tarized Zone separating the two Koreas
and took an unprecedented step over the
demarcation line to greet North Korea’s
young ruler. The act triggered a glimmer
of hope that negotiations faltering over the
North’s demand for economic sanctions
relief would resume. Relentless domestic
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
School choice gives all kids a chance
School choice opponents often make the claim that
supporters, like me, want to “privatize education” or
“dismantle public schools.” There is no basis for these
accusations.
I support public schools. I also support charter
schools, private schools, homeschooling, blended learn-
ing, career-tech education and so on. I support state-
funded programs that allow families to participate in
these school choice options because I know that while
traditional public schools are a great option for many
students, for others they are not the right fit.
Some families can afford to move to a district that is
the right fit for their children or to pay private school
tuition. For many other families, though, these options
do not exist. Therefore I support state programs that
focus on the student rather than the system.
I support school choice because of moms like Jessica,
whose son was struggling in his assigned public school.
Jessica explained that although the public school tried
everything it could to make it work, it was not the right
school to address her son’s autism and behavioral issues,
and he was not learning anything. Thankfully there was
‘Health’ funds could go to terrorists
Why has the Biden administration reversed policy
toward the Palestinians (“U.S. gives $15 million to Pal-
estinians to deal with COVID-19,” Web, March 25)? Is it
just to differentiate itself from former President Trump
or do they have a goal?
Who are the “Palestinian people”? Until 1964 the
only people called Palestinians were Jews. Christians,
Muslims and others living in the British Mandate for
Palestine identified with their tribes and with the re-
gions from which they migrated. Many just considered
themselves to be Arabs.
In 1956, when America pulled out of the Aswan Dam
project, Russia stepped in to fill the gap. In 1964, the KGB
created the Palestine Liberation Organization. Its mis-
sion was to drive the infidels out of the Middle East. Its
charter called for killing every Jew in Israel. Its modus
operandi was terrorism. The KGB selected Yasir Arafat,
an Egyptian soldier training in Russia, to lead the PLO.
He became the first Arab to call himself a Palestinian.
It was only after the Arabs’ humiliating defeat in the
1967 Six-Day War that the term “Palestinian” came into
Kennedys owe Romney apology
The JFK Library Foundation’s decision to award Sen.
Mitt Romney its annual Profile in Courage award for his
support of the Trump impeachment has drawn much
commentary (“Mitt Romney gets Profile in Courage
Award for impeachment vote,” Web, March 26). Over-
looked is a shameful chapter in the Kennedy family’s
dealings with Mr. Romney.
Mr. Romney’s first run for office was against Sen.
Ted Kennedy in 1994, and it was a heated race. In con-
trast to the incumbent, Mr. Romney’s character was
unblemished. So the Kennedy campaign attacked Mr.
Romney’s Mormon faith. Sen. Kennedy unleashed his
nephew, then-Rep. Joe Kennedy II, to predictably call
Mormonism racist, among other things.
This religious scaremongering came from the family
that faced whispers, rumors and conspiracies for their
non-majority religion at the time of John Kennedy’s run
attacks on Mr. Trump’s legitimacy brought
dual impeachments and, with U.S. regime
change in the wind, Mr. Kim lost interest.
Mr. Biden’s difficulty with the stairs
leading up to Air Force One means he is
unlikely to match his predecessor’s enthu-
siasm for rendezvousing with formidable
adversaries anytime, anywhere. In the
case of North Korea, though, he has the
option of dusting off the Trump achieve-
ments of recent years and reaffirming
shared goals.
In 2018, Mr. Trump and Mr. Kim signed
a joint statement in Singapore establishing
“relations in accordance with the desire
of the peoples of the two countries for
peace and prosperity,” affirming efforts
to build peace on the Korean Peninsula,
pledging cooperation in the return of
POW/MIA remains and, most critically,
reinforcing North Korea’s commitment to
“work toward complete denuclearization
of the Korean Peninsula.”
Nothing has transpired in the interven-
ing years — except neglect. Setting pen to
paper, Mr. Biden should launch a message
to his North Korean counterpart reaffirm-
ing American devotion to those honorable
goals and requesting that he do likewise.
There is no naivete in Mr. Biden opt-
ing to build upon his predecessor’s work
and championing a series of verifiable
measures that step down U.S. economic
sanctions and North Korean nuclear ac-
tivity in unison.
The armistice that unofficially ended
the Korean War will turn 70 in July 2023.
Even if enmity from that long-ago conflict
lingers like a bad habit, it’s worth testing
whether “time heals all wounds.”
a state-funded scholarship for special-needs students
and her son was able to use it at a learning center. For
Jessica, the scholarship was a “lifesaver.”
I support school choice because of students like
Walter, who benefitted from a state-funded scholarship
to attend a private school. Walter struggled academically
in his assigned school, faced bullying and was regularly
in fights. His life turned around after he attended a local
private school. He was able to go on to college and
pursue a degree in journalism. As Walter explained, “If
you would have told me maybe six or seven years ago
that I would be in a place where I am … I would not
have believed you.”
Educational choice is about having options for stu-
dents and empowering parents with the opportunities
to choose the best type of program for their children. I
support school choice so parents like Jessica can find a
better fit for their children and students like Walter can
attend the school that is right for them.

common usage.
Why is America restoring Palestinian funding? Money
is fungible. Designating money for COVID-19 frees up
other money to fund pay-to-slay, for example. The PA
rejected Israeli help with COVID-19, and refused ship-
ments from the United Arab Emirates because the planes
landed in Tel Aviv.
Mr. Trump cut funding to the intransigent PLO and
fostered the Abraham Accords, a major development for
Middle East normalization. The Peace to Prosperity plan
laid out a map giving the PA more land than Egypt and
Jordan had controlled, and giving Israel border security.
The Obama/Biden suggestion of a two-state solu-
tion based on the 1949 armistice lines is a backward
step that will simply kick the can down the road, taking
the U.S. out of the game. China has proposed hosting
Palestinian-Israeli bilateral peace talks. How does that
serve America’s interests?

for president in 1960. Then-Sen. John Kennedy explained
patiently the boundaries of faith and public duty, and
reassured voters that he would not take orders from
Rome. No matter to his brother’s desperate campaign
a generation later. Facing a backlash, the Ted Kennedy
team backed away slightly from this outrageous slander,
but the damage had been done. Mr. Romney lost handily,
and the Kennedys had successfully imposed a religious
test for public office.
Mr. Romney recovered to become governor of Mas-
sachusetts eight years later and admirably admits failing
from “time to time” in acknowledging this award. But
rather than an award, the Kennedy family owes him an
apology.

it was “freedom.” Yet, two intolerable acts of
Parliament so assaulted personal freedom that they broke the
bonds with the mother country irreparably.
The first was the Stamp Act of 1765, which required
colonists to have government stamps on all documents in
every household. It was enforced by British soldiers who
used general warrants, issued by a secret court in London, to
rummage through colonists’ possessions, ostensibly looking
for stamps.
These general warrants, like the ones the secret Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Court issues in Washington, D.C.,
today, did not specifically describe the place to be searched
or the person or thing to be seized. Rather, they granted au-
thority for the bearer to search wherever he wished and seize
whatever he found — as FISA warrants do currently, in direct
contravention of the U.S. Constitution.
The second intolerable act was the Revenue Act of 1767, the
proceeds from which the king used to pay the salaries of colo-
nial officials and the king’s clergy, thereby securing their loyalty.
The Stamp Act assaulted the right to be left alone in the
home, and the Revenue Act forced colonists to pay for a
religious establishment. These two British laws caused many
colonists to realize they needed to secede from Britain and
form a new country, in which the government would protect
freedom, not assault it. Fifteen years later, they won the
American Revolution.
Today, the loss of freedom comes in many forms.
Sometimes it is direct, as when Congress dictates how to
acquire health insurance and imposes taxes on those who
don’t comply.
Sometimes it is subtle, as when the government borrows
$3 trillion a year and, as a result, our money and assets lose

Mr. Trump’s plans.”
However, with Mr. Biden’s massive bill,
their tone has changed. Mr. Biden’s eight-
year plan means he’s “embraced
the opportunity to use federal
spending to address longstand-
ing social and economic chal-
lenges in a way not seen in half a
century,” The Times reported.
As if tax and spend was a
novel concept in Washington.
It’s not — and it’s been rejected
before because of the debt bur-
den it places on our youth and
the fact that the government is
not the best steward of tax-
payer monies or is as efficient at
creating economic growth as the
private sector.
Before the coronavirus and
the artificial interruption to our
economy, wages for blue-collar
workers were rising at their fast-
est rate in a decade. Mr. Trump
spurred this positive economic
boon by cutting taxes and
through deregulation. Median
household income increased by
9% in the first three years of the
Trump presidency, and 6 million
Americans were lifted out of
poverty, the largest three-year
reduction in poverty to start a
presidency since 1964.
Government-driven growth
was tested and failed during the Obama
presidency, where despite federal stimulus, the
number of Americans in poverty increased by
nearly 800,000, wages remained stagnant, the
middle-class shrunk and 14 million U.S. citizens
left the workforce. By 2016, 57% of Americans

soared to 10%.
Mr. Biden was tasked as the “sheriff ” to
oversee how stimulus monies were spent.
The U.S. wasted $2.6 billion in 19 “green en-
ergy” projects that collapsed, including $790
million for Abound Solar and $570 million
for Solyndra. Guess the “sheriff ” was out of
town that day.
Wasteful projects included but were not
limited to, turtle crossings, a non-existent
congressional district, and studying behav-
ior after drinking alcohol. At the Energy
Department alone, more than 100 criminal
investigations were launched
into squandered stimulus funds.
And by 2011, it emerged that
some of Mr. Obama’s biggest
political donors were executives
whose companies profited off
the taxpayer monies.
Big government at work.
Mr. Biden’s own chief of staff
Ron Klain admitted in 2011 the
number of jobs created from the
2009 stimulus was “hardly a game
changer,” and Mr. Obama even
conceded the enormous sums of
money dedicated to reviving the
economy “had fallen short.”
The lesson Mr. Biden
learned? The government didn’t
spend enough.
So here we are. Mr. Biden is
betting even bigger on federally-
run initiatives, that include
empowering unions, eliminating
right-to-work laws, providing
tuition-free community college
and universal prekindergarten,
all paid for by the largest tax
increase in U.S. history.

incoherent manner,” says Mr. Parry.
After noticing foam around Floyd’s mouth, one of the
officers asks Floyd if he had taken drugs. Floyd responded
he had been “hooping,” which is defined as “putting drugs in
the anus, resulting in a quick and intense high.”
When the officers attempted to place Floyd in a squad
car pending information about the drugs he had taken and
the reaction they produced, Floyd screamed he was claus-
trophobic and again resisted.
The video shows he was then taken out of the car and
police complying with his request to lie down. Before lying
down, according to Mr. Parry, Floyd shouted seven times
that he couldn’t breathe.
It was at that point Officer Chauvin begins to kneel on
Mr. Floyd’s neck, which Mr. Parry says, “is entirely consis-
tent with what is taught” at the Minneapolis police depart-
ment academy.
The video shows Mr. Chauvin’s knee going up each time
Floyd attempted to raise his head, indicating, says Mr. Parry,
that Mr. Chauvin “was not using brute force.” When officers
noticed Floyd deteriorating “they placed another call for an
ambulance” with a higher priority code. When it arrived,
Floyd appears to have stopped breathing.
The Hennepin County medical examiner determined
that Floyd had a “fatal level” of fentanyl in his system. The
report also found that “Floyd had a ‘heavy heart’ and ‘at
least one artery was approximately 75 percent blocked.’ ”
Floyd also had a history of severe coronary artery disease
and hypertension, which, along with the drug and his agi-
tated behavior, likely contributed to his death.
Mr. Parry claims prosecutors withheld this information
for nearly three months as riots erupted in Minneapolis and
elsewhere. Such behavior is normally considered prosecuto-
rial misconduct.
Watch the video, read the medical examiner’s documents
and see how the original narrative was wrong. Will jurors
succumb to political pressure and the threat of more rioting,
or will they examine the entire video and make their deci-
sion based on evidence?
We will soon know.

New wife can’t stop thinking
about husband’s old girlfriend
DEAR ABBY: I’m a young
wife. I married after three
months of dating my
military husband. He was
previously in an on-again/
off-again relationship that
lasted about eight years,
during

DEAR ABBY with
another
man,
etc. I believe my husband
is still in love with her. After
constantly asking him, he
says he just wishes her
well and he doesn’t have
any romantic feelings. I’m
not sure what to do, and I
just keep overthinking it.
Any thoughts? — HATES
HUSBAND’S HISTORY
DEAR H.H.H.: Stop tortur-
ing your husband — and
yourself — by constantly
asking him about his feel-
ings for his unfaithful
ex-girlfriend. Get to work
building your self-esteem,
and you will have less to
worry about. Your husband’s
history (baggage) is his own.
You are making a mistake by
dragging it into your mar-
riage. If you concentrate on
the positive, you will have
a happier marriage, and so
will your husband.
DEAR ABBY: Shortly
after a retired, not-so-
close friend moved to an-
other city, he began send-
ing emails about events he
had read about in social
media, news outlets and
magazines. At first there
were only a few a day, but
as the days increased, so
did his emails. I responded
to some of them, but he
never commented on
them. He just sent more
and more to the point that
his daily emails are more
than I can — or want to —
read. I am spending too
much time deleting them.
What should I do? Should I
ask him not to send them
anymore, or should I stay
quiet so as not to hurt his

You may need to create a

TAURUS (April 20-May

then assume there’s a good
reason, even if you can’t
articulate what that is. The
same goes for unexplainably
excellent feelings. Follow
through.
GEMINI (May 21-June

it’s obvious, but right now

and long-term perspective.
CANCER (June 22-July

to earn the good graces of
those in charge. Resist the
urge to compliment or make
special offers. What’s most
effective is just to focus on
doing the task to the best of
your ability.

he has little to do but cruise

to tell this not-so-close
friend you don’t have time
to review all of the emails
he has been sending and ask
him to send fewer. It’s the
truth. However, if he doesn’t
comply and the barrage
continues, feel free to block
them or create a filter for
these emails that sends them
to a folder where they can be
easily scanned and deleted.
DEAR ABBY: My hus-
band of 32 years often tells
me women compliment
him on his looks or the
way he dresses. I compli-
ment him often, but I think
it’s his way of telling me
that he’s still “got it” and
I should be proud to have
a husband who’s hot and
good-looking.
Am I crazy for not enjoy-
ing hearing what other
women think? If anything,
it has caused some inse-
curity on my part. I have
asked him to stop sharing
these comments and told
him I’m tired of hearing
them — especially since
I have told him repeat-
edly what I think of him,
his looks and his way of
dressing. Am I wrong? —

DEAR LOVES HIM: I don’t

it occurred to you that your
husband may do this not
out of ego but because HE
is insecure? People who are
secure within themselves do
not feel the need to con-
tinually toot their own horns

‘Tina’ is final word from survivor
Documentary examines singer’s legendary, tumultuous life
BY JAKE COYLE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In the opening moments of the
HBO documentary “Tina,” Tina
Turner doesn’t just command the
stage as she’s belting out “Ask Me
How I Feel” for a giant stadium of
fans. With heels stomping and her
hair waving, she owns the stage to
such a degree that you half expect
bank lenders to materialize by the
footlights to sign over the deed.
Few if any could ever match
Ms. Turner as a performer. Both
regal and raw, she was one of the
supreme vocalists of the 20th
century — a model of inspiration
for Mick Jagger and countless
others. And, at least in scenes like
that 1980s concert, her power was
a testament of reclamation.
As a newly solo singer re-
moved from more than a decade
of abuse, she was taking back
her life, her story, her voice. Her
proper debut, she says, came not
as a teenager with Ike Turner, but
as a 50-year-old woman finally on
her own.
The story has rightly taken
on the shine of legend. The re-
markable arc of Ms. Turner’s
life has already been the stuff
of a best-selling autobiography
(1986’s “I, Tina”), a Hollywood
biopic (1993’s “What’s Love Got
to Do With It”) and a Broadway
show (“Tina: The Tina Turner
Musical”).
So why more? Well, partly be-

‘Six Minutes to Midnight’ tells pre-WWII spy story
BY LINDSEY BAHR
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In the years before World War
II, the Augusta-Victoria College,
a girls’ boarding school in Eng-
land’s Bexhill-on-Sea, catered to
a very specific audience: The
daughters and god-daughters of
important Germans and high
ranking Nazi officials.
It is believed that the intent of
the school was to educate the girls
in the language and customs of
Britain and was part of a strategy to
keep England and Germany close.

Ike have everything but the stage
name her gave her years before.
The comeback story begins, but
with it comes with Ms. Turner’s
own struggles with how to be
frank about the abuse while not
being defined by it. It’s easy to
understand her desire to tell the
truth. Appearing on “Hollywood
Squares,” host Peter Marshall
greets her: “Tina, where’s Ike?”
Ms. Turner first went on the
record in a 1981 People magazine
article, calling Ike’s treatment
“torture” and that she was “liv-
ing a life of death.” A few years
later, plagued by reporters’ ques-
tions, she wrote her book, with
MTV’s Kurt Loder, in hopes of
moving on. (Mr. Loder is an es-
pecially good source in the film;
an audio recording of his talks
with Ms. Turner in which she
emotionally discusses her mother
is perhaps the only truly intimate,
unguarded moment in the film.)
The book didn’t work, in a
way. It only made Ms. Turner’s
past — and her laudable, influ-
ential public confrontation with
it — all the more attached to her.
But by the time of her come-

the hit “What’s Love Got to Do

show-stopping performances

the heart of Ms. Turner’s legacy.

Miller, we discover, has an

Big Ten failed to live up to hype in NCAA Tournament again
BY ANDY KOSTKA
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
In late February and into
early March, Ohio State lost four
straight games — the kind of
losing streak that can prove fatal
for a program with the NCAA
Tournament on the horizon.
At the start of that spiral, the
Buckeyes were the No. 4-ranked
team in the country. By the end
of the regular-season-ending col-
lapse — which included losses to
Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa
and Illinois — Ohio State was
still ranked No. 9. The reasoning
is this: The Big Ten was hyped
as the most dominant, difficult
conference in college basketball,
in which blue bloods devoured

few years
ago, and we
want to do
it again.”

The
Soto rotation is
built around
the same
lead trio: three-time Cy Young
Award winner Max Scherzer,
World Series MVP Stephen
Strasburg and Patrick Corbin,
with postseason veteran Jon
Lester added as a free agent.
“When we won it in 2019,
we were rock solid in the
clubhouse. And we were just
a group that pulled for each
other. ... We weren’t just play-
ing the game for ourselves,
we were playing it for the guy
next to us,” said the righty
Strasburg, who threw just five
innings last year before having
carpal tunnel surgery on his
throwing hand. “It’s been a
true joy ... to get a chance to
get to know these new guys
coming in.”
⦁ Soto and Turner: Soto won
last year’s NL batting title at .351;
Turner was fourth at .335 and led
in hits with 78. Soto led in OPS
at 1.185; Turner was sixth at .982.

Hachimura’s game has matured
in his second season.
Over the last 10 games,
Hachimura is averaging 20.2
points and 7.8 rebounds per game
— shooting 52.8% from the field
and 40.6% from deep. This sea-
son, he’s scored at least 20 points
eight times, six of those in the last
blue bloods each and every night.
A four-game losing streak that
included defeats against three
other teams ranked in the top 10
was hardly worth batting an eye.
So the Big Ten still received
a conference-record-setting nine
bids for the NCAA Tournament.
And despite all the hype, the Big
Ten again floundered when it mat-
tered most, losing early and often
in the tournament. Michigan’s loss
to UCLA on Tuesday night in the
Elite Eight marked the end of the
conference’s stay in the Big Dance.

In 2021, the league will
continue with the seven-
inning doubleheaders tested
last season. Extra-inning
games will once again start
with a runner on second.
And to cut down on pitching
changes, the league insti-
tuted a three-batter mini-
mum for relievers.
And yet, even with those
changes, MLB still set a re-
cord in 2020: games took on
average 3:07 to complete.
The issue that pace of
play poses is impacts the
long-term health of baseball,
particularly when it comes
to attracting the next genera-
tion of fans.
The 2020 championship
series was the least-watched
World Series on record —
although streaming and a
presidential election may
have cut into viewership.

In 36.1% of all plate appear-
ances last season, that’s what
happened, reducing the
number of balls in play while
placing a priority on swing-
ing for the fences.
MLB is attempting to
change that, introducing a
new ball to the game this
season. The Associated
Press reported that the balls
should travel one or two feet
shorter on hits longer than
375 feet — a small change
that the league hopes could
induce a major change.
The goal: more balls in
play; fewer moments waiting
for a loud crack of the bat.
Perhaps the changes will
lead to more pitchers pitch-
ing to contact, opting to put
the ball in play rather than
painting corners to strike out
— or walk — batters. That
remains to be seen. But if the
new ball brings about more
