PRICE SHOCK: The cost of gasoline has shot up in recent months. Congressional Democrats say corporate greed is why it costs

U.S. brass warns
fighting in Ukraine
likely to drag on
Military leaders paint grim picture
BY BEN WOLFGANG
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Moscow’s military campaign in
Ukraine is far from over, and the West
must prepare for a yearslong commit-
ment to support the government in
Kyiv, guard NATO’s eastern border and
gird for the revival of an era of great-
power conflict, top Pentagon leaders
said Tuesday.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen.
Mark A. Milley, testifying together on
Capitol Hill for the first time since Rus-
sia’s invasion began more than five weeks
ago, painted a grim picture of a world that
is “trending toward greater instability,”
with Russia’s attack a likely precursor
to much larger, more destructive wars
involving the U.S., Russia, Europe, and
China. The defense officials rejected
direct comparisons between Russia’s
invasion of Ukraine and a potential
Chinese offensive on Taiwan, but they
acknowledged in sometimes combative
testimony before the House Armed Ser-
vices Committee that Beijing, like Mos-
cow, is looking to upset the international
rules-based order and expand its power.
While Russian forces have begun
to withdraw from the outskirts of Kyiv
and refocus their invasion on Ukraine’s
eastern Donbas region, Gen. Milley cau-
tioned that there will be more bloodshed.
The U.S., he said, should make prepara-
tions now to aid Ukraine in what is likely
to be a lengthy battle.

conflict. But I think it’s at least measured
in years. I don’t know about a decade,

BANGKOK, THAILAND | Russia is

PALIN: ‘I’VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE’
Run, Sarah, run?
Indeed, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has
declared her candidacy for Congress — and she
is fully prepared for a hostile reception. An inter-
view with Fox News host Jesse Watters reveals
all.
What will happen if she wins and arrives at
the U.S. Capitol?
“When you get there, assuming you get there,
you understand that the media jackals are going
to descend on you. And you are going to be walk-
ing down the halls of Congress to the cafeteria
to go get a Pepsi, and you’re just going to be
swarmed by these reporters sticking these little
microphones and recording devices in your face.
Are you prepared for that onslaught? Because it’s
going to be pretty vicious,” Mr. Watters predicted
in his conversation with the onetime Republican
vice presidential hopeful.
“You know, I would never be so cocky as to
say ‘bring it on.’ But yes, I anticipate that when
I walk down that hall to get my Diet Dr. Pepper,
sure, the jackals are going to be there doing their
jackaling,” Ms. Palin replied.
Jackaling? The candidate may have invented a
new word to describe predatory press behavior.
But let’s move along.
“I just think I’ve got nothing to lose. What
more can they do? What more can they say?  We’ll
see what’s to come,” Ms. Palin advised.
“I’m very, very confident in knowing who and
what I’m dealing with. And their criticism — the
press’s criticism — if you don’t live by man’s
praise, you’re not going to die by man’s criti-
cism. So, I’ve got nothing to lose. I’m in it for the
right reasons. It’s about a public servant’s heart,

She also says she would be eager to debate
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York
Democrat.
“I will be very polite and I would beg her to
debate me,” Ms. Palin said, noting that education,
capitalism, business tactics, national security
and energy independence would all be topics of
interest.
“So, I would debate with her. Oh, gosh — I
want to debate her,” she said.
MAYORS SPEAK OUT
The Republican National Committee is now
tracking how many high-profile Democrats are
publicly fretting over U.S. border issues and inef-
fective policy. In particular, the organization has
cited Jeh Johnson, who was Homeland Security
director during the Obama administration.
“Most Americans want a secure border. We
have to enforce border security,” Mr. Johnson told
Fox News, adding that the current situation is
“not sustainable.”
“This is a warning that border state mayors
from the rooftops for a year,” the RNC said in a
response to Mr. Johnson’s comments.
In an additional analysis, the Republican
organization also cited six mayors who are on the
front lines of the border wars.
The mayors hail from Gila Bend, Arizona,
and five Texas cities — Carrizo Springs, Uvalde,
Laredo, Del Rio and McAllen. Two of the mayors
are Democrats, by the way — including Del Rio
Mayor Bruno Lozano, who declared that the
border is “wide open for unlawful entry” despite
reassurance from the Biden administration that
the situation was under control.
“It’s a Biden border crisis,” Mr. Lozano told
Fox News.
“The Border Patrol is overwhelmed. They’re
bussing migrants to our city,” said Laredo Mayor
Pete Saenz, another Democrat.
“We can’t handle it here,” he told the network
in a separate interview.
Their comments do not appear to resonate
much with the White House, in the meantime.
“President Biden has ignored these mayors.
In fact, he’s made the problem even worse. Biden
doesn’t care about Americans struggling under
his border crisis. He won’t even visit the border,”
said Tommy Pigott, the RNC’s rapid response
director.
MEANWHILE IN MEDICAL SCHOOL
The College Fix — a student-written news
organization that tracks cultural developments
on U.S. campuses — has medical news.
Senior reporter Christian Schneider reports
that the University of North Carolina School of
Medicine will retain a certain requirement in its
curriculum.
That requirement Mr. Schneider wrote on
Monday, is a rule that faculty must “explain the
difference between sex and gender and how
specific organs and cells do not belong to specific
genders.”
This appears to be an evolving concept; stay
tuned.
Fox News drew an average primetime audi-
ence of 2.5 million during the week of March 28
through April 3, according to Nielsen Media Re-
search. This marked the network’s 33rd straight
week with an audience that was larger than CNN
and MSNBC combined. CNN drew 731.000 in
primetime, MSNBC 1.1 million during the week.
The network is making a big footprint in the
marketplace. Fox News aired 93 of the top 100
cable news telecasts last week. Among the stand-
outs: “The Five” enjoyed an average audience of
3.6 million, followed by “Tucker Carlson Tonight”
with 3.5 million.
Greg Gutfeld, whose late-night talk show
“Gutfeld” debuted a year ago Tuesday — enjoyed
an audience of 2.6 million — and in the process
defeated broadcast network favorites ABC’s
“Jimmy Kimmel Live”! (1.7 million) and NBC’s
“The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” (1.4
million).
Meanwhile, Fox Nation — the network’s
on-demand streaming platform — will present
a new special entitled “Who is Hunter Biden?”

GOP blocks relief bill over Title 42
Republicans on Tuesday blocked consider-
ation of spending another $10 billion to fight
COVID-19 because Senate Majority Leader
Charles E. Schumer refused to allow a vote on
reinstating a pandemic emergency order that
helped block illegal immigrants from entering the
U.S.
All 50 GOP senators voted against the motion,
which fell 10 votes short of the 60 needed.
“This is a bipartisan agreement that does a
whole lot of good for the American people,” said
Mr. Schumer, New York Democrat. “It should not
be held hostage for an extraneous issue.”
While Republicans originally agreed to the
extra pandemic spending, they demanded Mr.
Schumer allow an amendment to block the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from
rescinding Title 42. The order, which was first
implemented at the height of the pandemic, gives
the federal government the power to immediately
expel illegal immigrants to prevent the spread of
COVID-19.
The Biden administration announced plans
earlier this month to rescind the order because
the coronavirus was receding. Republicans,
however, contend that if the pandemic is receding
enough to allow illegal immigrants to flood then
there is no need for the $10 billion aid package.

Mr. Comer sent a letter last Friday to Over-

requesting that the younger Biden testify because
he is “well-positioned to inform the committee
about issues pertaining to African cobalt mines

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT Trump campaign through the investigative firm

Clinton lawyer tries to keep Steele, dossier out of trial
BY ALEX SWOYER AND JEFF MORDOCK
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Attorneys for Hillary Clinton’s campaign lawyer
asked a court Monday to bar federal prosecutors
from using evidence from former British intelli-
gence officer Christopher Steele and his debunked
dossier in prosecuting their client.
Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann
is charged with lying to the FBI for not disclosing
he was working on behalf of Mrs. Clinton when he
told an FBI official about alleged contacts between
a Russian bank and the Trump Organization in 2016.
Mr. Sussmann’s attorneys appear concerned that
prosecutors, led by special counsel John Durham,
may try to introduce the dossier or testimony from
Mr. Steele, who compiled salacious unfounded
allegations that Donald Trump had worked with
Russian officials to defeat Mrs. Clinton.
“The manner in which the data was gathered,
the objective strength and reliability of that data
and/or conclusions drawn from the data, and the
information that Christopher Steele separately
provided to the FBI all have no bearing on the only
crime the Special Counsel chose to charge: whether
Mr. Sussmann falsely stated that he was not acting
on behalf of a client,” his attorneys said in a motion.
Mr. Sussmann has pleaded not guilty.
At issue is a September 2016 meeting between
Mr. Sussman and then-FBI General Counsel James
Baker. Mr. Sussmann told the bureau about alleged
secret communications between the Trump cam-
paign and a Russian bank.
According to CNN, Mr. Sussmann met with Mr.
Steele before his meeting with Mr. Baker. Mr. Steele
was hired to conduct opposition research on the
Fusion GPS, which was being funded by the Clinton
campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
Within days of the meeting, a story about the
FBI investigating the Trump campaign’s alleged
back-channel to the Russian bank showed up in
major newspapers.
Mr. Sussmann’s allegations, as well as those in
the Steele dossier, were later determined to be false.
In an indictment, Mr. Durham said Mr. Suss-
mann’s alleged failure to disclose his ties to the
Clinton campaign was material because it misled
the FBI “about the political nature of his work.”
Mr. Durham said that had the FBI known that
Mr. Sussmann was billing the Clinton campaign for
the meeting, it would have treated the information
differently.

Congressman pushes DHS to shoot down cartel drones
Bishop tells committee 200 crafts detected daily
BY STEPHEN DINAN

Rep. Dan Bishop was incred-
ulous when Homeland Security
officials told a House committee
last week that they see about 200
suspicious drone flights a day at the
southern border — and that’s just
what they are able to detect.
“I don’t understand the reason
that we would allow drones to
come into the United States,” the
North Carolina Republican said.
“Why don’t we shoot them down?”
It’s a question that’s been perco-
lating among border experts and
Homeland Security officials for
years, and one that still confounds
policymakers.
The threat from drones is mas-
sive and growing, officials told
the House Homeland Security
Committee.
During one five-month period,

detected 30,000 flights.

Obama returns to White House to lift Biden, Harris ahead of vote
BY TOM HOWELL JR.
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Former President Barack
Obama returned to the White
House for the first time in five
years Tuesday to celebrate his
signature health care law and
resuscitate the lagging political
fortunes of President Biden and
Vice President Kamala Harris.
A friendly East Room
crowd greeted Mr. Obama
with whoops and cheers as
he praised Mr. Biden and Ms.
Harris for shielding his hard-
won program as they push for
another big expansion of social
welfare and work to stave off
a bloodbath in the midterm
contests.
Mr. Obama said their work
isn’t finished, however, as
Democrats work to expand
the law to cover millions more
while warning that Republicans
might try to chip away at ben-
efits if they retake Congress in
November.
“Today, the ACA hasn’t just
survived, it’s pretty darn popu-
lar,” Mr. Obama said. “It’s done
what it’s supposed to do. It’s
made a difference. First 20 mil-
lion, and now 30 million people
have gotten covered thanks to
the ACA.”
Mr. Obama said compro-
mises necessary to get the 2010
law through Congress meant
millions of people are still fall-
ing through the cracks.
He extolled Mr. Biden for
fixing a so-called “family glitch”
in the law that could help an
estimated 200,000 people in
pricy employer-based plans find
more affordable coverage in the
Obamacare exchanges.
“The ACA was an example
of why you run for office in the
first place,” Mr. Obama said.
“We’re not supposed to do this
just to occupy a seat or to hang
onto power. We’re supposed
to do this because it’s made a
difference in the lives of people
who sent us here.”
Mr. Obama came to Mr.
Biden’s aid as Democrats face
a potentially bruising midterm
season amid concerns about
inflation, global crises and fears
of a potential migrant surge at
the southern border.
Tuesday’s focus on Obam-
acare and efforts to chip away
at the law’s protections for pre-
existing conditions allowed the
administration and Democratic
allies to pivot to more comfort-
able political terrain.
“It’s important to note that
the Biden electoral coalition
and the Obama electoral coali-
tion are similar but not identi-
cal and any daylight between

CBP immediately spotted flight
signatures for 40 to 45 drones that
they had no idea were in the skies
over the border.
Some were Mexican govern-
ment counter-drones, but others
were flying back and forth across
the border. They may have been
hobbyists knowingly or unknow-
ingly breaking the law, but some
were likely to have been cartel-
controlled drones carrying drugs
or observing Border Patrol move-
ments in order to spot gaps in
coverage.
“The amount out there was re-
ally staggering,” Mr. Michelini said.
He told Mr. Bishop that Home-
land Security’s current approach is
to disrupt drones’ flight operations.
Essentially, that means breaking the
connection between the remote

them needs to be closed,” said
Ross Baker, a political science
professor at Rutgers University.
He said Mr. Biden is strug-
gling with White working-class
voters and restoring the 2008
coalition “is essential for deal-
ing with November headwinds.”
Mr. Obama had a bit of fun
with his former No. 2, joking Se-
cret Service agents are required
to wear aviator sunglasses and
there is a Baskin Robbins on
White House grounds.
He also referred to Mr. Biden
as the vice president, before
stopping short: “That was a
joke. That was all set up.”
Mr. Biden, who dubbed the
Affordable Care Act a “big f---
ing deal” at its signing, warned
that Republicans will try again
to repeal Obamacare if they win
majorities this November.
He said he needs Demo-
cratic majorities on Capitol
Hill to rally around his Build
Back Better agenda to shore
up Obamacare while handing
Democrats another legacy-de-
fining victory.
“Instead of destroying the
Affordable Care Act, let’s keep
building on it. Let’s extend it,”
Mr. Biden said.
In the meantime, Mr. Biden
is taking action on his own.
The Treasury Department is
issuing a proposed rule to help
family members who are shut
out of the Affordable Care Act’s
pilot and the unit, which usually
forces the drone to the ground,
often returning back to where it
took off.
CBP has two “covered areas”
where it can deploy that capability.

or parent is offered coverage by
an employer.
An individual can access the
exchanges and subsidies that
defray premiums if the cost
of employer-based coverage
exceeds about 10% of their in-
come, but that provision doesn’t
take into account the cost to
cover dependents.
The new rule will apply
that affordability standard to
the whole family instead of
the employee alone. Therefore
spouses or children, who lift the
cost of premium contributions
above 10% of income, can seek
subsidized insurance under
Obamacare.
“In the family glitch, a lot
of these people have insur-
ance, they’re just paying a lot
of money for that insurance.
What this would do is give them
the option to move some of
their family members” into the

a vice president at the Kaiser
Family Foundation and direc-
tor of its program on the health
care law.
Administration officials said
the family glitch affects about 5

estimated that 200,000 will tap

the change.

The Transportation Security
Administration, the lead agency
on drone threats at airports, said
it considers disruption the best
answer right now — but it has
holes in its own capability to bring
drones down.
“We’re focused on detect, track
and identify,” said Austin Gould,
TSA’s assistant administrator for

analysis.
Rep. Diana Titus, Nevada Dem-
ocrat, seemed horrified by the idea
of shooting a drone out of the sky.
“I don’t think it’s quite that sim-
ple. I don’t think you start firing off
rockets to shoot down drones in
neighborhoods or along the border
or along the river, where people
live,” she said.
She said in Las Vegas, people
illegally fly drones near the airport

and now as Harry Reid Interna-
tional Airport — to get pictures
of the city’s skyline.
Mr. Bishop said she was conflat-

at airports to those at the border.

because the Treasury’s pro-
posed rule will likely allow
dependents to flow into the
exchanges but not the actual
employee with company cover-
age that is deemed affordable
under the law.
Families might want to re-
tain a joint deductible or out-
of-pocket maximum under one
plan, or coverage that applies to
one set of doctors.
The administration could
not provide an estimate of how
much the change might cost
taxpayers in terms of new sub-
sidy payments, or how it would
be paid for, though Mr. Biden
hailed the change as significant.
“Working families in Amer-
ica will get the help they need
to afford full family coverage
— everyone in the family,” Mr.
Biden said.
Democrats are promoting
the health care program as it en-
joys relative popularity after a
wobbly start under Mr. Obama.
Premiums skyrocketed because
fewer than expected healthy
people signed up for insurance
while sicker people flooded the
market because insurers, under
the law, had to accept persons
with preexisting medical con-
ditions and could not charge
them more.
The Republican National

different picture in terms of cross-

long to get a message across.
“If you blew up a bunch of
Mexican cartel drones, especially
the heavy ones you keep talking
about, I don’t think they’d keep
doing it,” the congressman said.
Rep. Carlos Gimenez, Florida
Republican, said the U.S. needs to
invest in more research to get an
offensive capability to bring down
drones.
“I really do believe it’s a matter
of when, not if, some major event is
going to be happening either at the

“two failed presidents” to paper
over past and current failures.
“In an attempt to distract
from his many other failures,
including 40-year high infla-
tion, record-high gas prices, and
a border crisis, Biden is now
pivoting to another policy fail-
ure — Obamacare,” the RNC’s
research arm said. “Obamacare
sent health insurance costs
through the roof, raised taxes on
the middle class, and forced em-
ployers to cut jobs and hours.”
Yet Obamacare has survived
three near-fatal showdowns be-
fore the Supreme Court and
attempts by former President
Donald Trump and GOP law-
makers to replace the law.
Mr. Biden reopened enroll-
ment in the exchanges that offer
private insurance and income-
based subsidies for much of
2021, citing the impact of the
coronavirus pandemic. Demo-
crats also made the subsidies
more generous, resulting in a
record-high 14.5 million Ameri-
cans signing up for the current
plan year.

vember’s elections, we’re re-

down is a far tougher task, experts
said.
Mr. Gould said British authori-
ties think that’s exactly the type
of drone that was used in a 2018
incident at Gatwick Airport, when
more than a thousand flights were
canceled over three days as drone
sightings halted operations.
Some security experts have
also worried about the ability
to arm drones. In 2017, federal
police in central Mexico discov-
ered four men suspected of cartel
ties who were carrying a drone
equipped with a bomb and a re-
mote detonator.
Mr. Michelini said drones also
pose a threat to his own people
flying helicopters along the U.S.-
Mexico border.
He said there have been five
“near-misses” with small drones
and CBP aircraft in the last year
and a half.

traffic standpoint, drones over the

Nevada and Kathy Jennings of
Delaware.
Obamacare’s supersized
subsidies only last until the
end of the year, however, forc-
ing Mr. Biden to scramble for
an extension.
Mr. Biden’s massive social
welfare plan would extend the
subsidy enhancement through
2025 but, since the broader
package ran into opposition, he
must find a way to get this piece
across the finish line before the
subsidies revert to lower levels.
Ms. Harris, who took a
prominent role in the White
House event by introducing Mr.
Obama, said the administration
is calling on Congress “to make
permanent the subsidies that
are included in the American
Rescue Plan.”
Extending the tax credits
will be “indispensable in con-
tinuing the progress in getting
more and more Americans cov-
ered,” Health and Human Ser-
vices Secretary Xavier Becerra
told the Senate Finance Com-
mittee in a hearing across town
Tuesday.
Beyond the exchanges,
nearly 19 million more Ameri-
cans gained coverage under
Obamacare’s expansion of Med-
icaid insurance for the poor.
Only about a dozen states
have rejected federal matching
funds that pay for much of the
cost of covering the expansion
population.
Mr. Biden praised Oklahoma
and Missouri for their recent
decisions to join the expansion,
which experts have described
as the quiet workhorse of the
program even as the private-
insurance portals generate
most of the headlines and legal
disputes.
In states like Texas and
Florida, which have declined
to expand Medicaid, some
Americans are caught in the
so-called “coverage gap” be-
cause they earn too much to
qualify for Medicaid but below
the poverty level — the thresh-
old needed to qualify for Obam-
acare subsidies.
Mr. Biden has proposed
ways to smooth over the gap by
offering to put these people in
a form of Obamacare-exchange
coverage with low costs, though
he’s pressing Congress to pass
that provision as part of his
Build Back Better agenda.
Ms. Harris also said Con-
gress should approve the part
of their agenda that would allow
Medicare to negotiate down

well and could enthuse base

also will condemn “windfall profit” taxes proposed

Kathleen Sgamma, president of Western Energy

companies in the western U.S., gave a preview of
the industry response at a Senate Commerce, Sci-

She told senators that smaller oil companies’
biggest hindrance to increased production has
been a lack of capital for funding expensive wells

messaging and policies that she said were “designed

as contributing to higher energy prices.”

and secure American natural gas and oil.”
Democrats are set to grill the executives and will
press them to forgo stock buybacks and investor re-
turns in exchange for lowering prices and increasing
production. They also will focus on the thousands of

came from unknown sources. The state
received about $15 million in grants from
the anonymously sourced donations to
CTLC.
State Sen. Lisa Baker, who is sponsor-
ing one of the bills to end private election
funding, held up the redacted pages of
CTLC’s tax disclosure forms at the hear-
ing, including one that lists a $1.4 million
donation next to a blacked-out name.
“We do not know who these individu-
als are,” Mrs. Baker said. “And for me, a
person who’s willing to give $1.4 million
as a donation to an organization that is
funding publicly held elections. I’d like to
know who these individuals are.”
CTLC did not respond to a request
for comment.
In Pennsylvania, government offi-
cials appeared to have contacted only
Democratic-leaning counties to apply
for the anonymously donated grants,
according to an investigation conducted
by Broad and Liberty, a center-right think
tank based in Philadelphia.
Among the places that received the
anonymous funding from the CTLC
was the city of Philadelphia, which was
awarded more than $10 million, as well
as Delaware, Chester and Montgomery

where Democratic voters outnumber

But before that, they were selectively
invited to apply for the much smaller
2020 by officials who work for Gov. Tom
Wolf, a Democrat, and the secretary of
state, who is appointed by the governor.
The outreach occurred before Sept. 1,
before the Zuckerbergs announced plans
to donate $250 million to the CTLC. It
was the first of two installments total-
ing $350 million from the Zuckerbergs
aimed at helping states facilitate the 2020
elections amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Government officials invited Allegh-
eny County, another blue jurisdiction,
to apply for CTLC funds, but county
officials did not do so until after the
Zuckerberg donation.

Mr. Zuckerberg’s massive private
funding opened up the grant process to
jurisdictions nationwide. But before the

election officials appeared to have had no
idea the additional money was coming
and selectively invited counties to apply

Pennsylvania, Mr. Shepherd reported.  According to county records from
“The counties approached before
Sept. 1 were all blue counties,” Mr. Shep-

State officials also provided additional
assistance to the select blue counties that
were awarded the early grants to help
they were awarded by CTLC, Mr. Shep-
herd testified.
Public records requests revealed
that in some instances, the additional
assistance to blue counties was pro-
vided by Democratic political opera-
tives who “became involved, raising
considerable ethical questions,” Mr.
Shepherd said.
An email obtained by Mr. Shepherd
through a public records request shows

on behalf of the Center for Secure and

“This raises my curiosity and suspi-
cion that the grants were not a COVID-
safety effort but rather a get out the vote
effort,” Mr. Shepherd told the lawmakers.
Overall, Pennsylvania received $25
million from the CTLC for administer-
ing the 2020 elections. All of the money
originated from Mr. Zuckerberg and
the anonymous donors. More money
was spent on Democratic voters than
Republicans, a pattern that CTLC dona-
tions repeated nationwide.
Wisconsin also received millions of
dollars from CTLC’s anonymous donors.
The CTLC announced in July 2020,
before the Zuckerberg funding, that it
donated $6.3 million to Wisconsin’s five
largest cities, which all lean Democratic.
The money came at the request of the
mayors of Green Bay, Kenosha, Madison,
Milwaukee and Racine, who were invited
to apply for the grants.  Election Day.
The mayors said the funds would be
partly used to safely conduct the election
while reducing the risk of exposure to
COVID-19. In a June statement request-
ing the money, the mayors wrote they
would also use the funds “to identify
best practices; innovate to efficiently and
effectively educate our residents about
intentional and strategic in reaching our
and communities; and, above all, ensure
the right to vote in our dense and diverse
communities.”
The Milwaukee-based Wisconsin
Institute for Law and Liberty, a non-
profit conservative law firm, found that
much of the anonymous grant money
was spent on vote-by-mail and absentee
voting equipment, poll worker recruit-
ment and training, temporary staffing,
election administration equipment and
Less than 5% of the funding was used
to pay for personal protective equipment,
according to the institute.
In Pennsylvania, recipients of the
summer funding from CTLC used some
of the money to open costly satellite
election offices, which greatly expanded
access to voting in those jurisdictions.
Only six jurisdictions in the state
opened satellite offices and five of
them received the early CTLC grants.
A sixth jurisdiction, Bucks County,
was offered early CTLC funding but
declined, citing concerns about the
anonymous funding.
Philadelphia used part of its grant
money to open 17 satellite election fa-
cilities. The offices allowed people to
register to vote as well as seek and return
mail-in ballots. The facilities were open
seven days a week from Oct. 21 until
 
At Tuesday’s hearing, Democrats
criticized the testimony and rejected
the proposed legislation to eliminate
private funding of elections. They argued
that the government had not provided
adequate funding to carry out the 2020
election, leaving officials scrambling to
find ways to accommodate a surge in
voters during a pandemic. 
The money did not unfairly affect the
outcome, they said.
In Philadelphia, for instance, 5,000
more Republicans voted in 2020 than
in 2016, while 600 fewer Democrats
voted in 2020 than in 2016, Philadelphia
City Commissioner Lisa M. Deeley
testified.  
“I believe that these bills are the result
of the continued misinformation around
the 2020 presidential election, and are
seeking to make election officials’ lives
more difficult to score political points
among those who believe the ‘big lie’
about 2020,” Ms. Deeley said, referring
to former President Donald Trump’s false
claim the election was rigged in favor of
President Biden. “The election was not
stolen. There was no steal. The fact that
counties received funds to offset election
costs had no effect on the outcome of
that election.”

CONGRESS

Upton announces retirement after three decades in House

Trump celebrates news of Republican who voted to impeach him
BY SETH MCLAUGHLIN
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan
announced Tuesday that he is
not seeking reelection at the end
of this term, signaling the end of
a career after more than three
decades in the House.
After representing the western
Michigan district since 1987, Mr.
Upton faced a tough primary race
this year thanks to a combination
of redistricting and his vote to
impeach former President Donald
Trump, who is out for revenge.
“Even the best stories have a
last chapter: This is it for me,” Mr.
Upton said.
He was among the 10
Republicans that voted to impeach
Mr. Trump for inciting the Jan. 6
attack on the U.S. Capitol. He is
the fourth of the “Impeachment
10” to call it quits.
Mr. Trump made a pair of en-
dorsements in the GOP primary
in Michigan’s 6th Congressional
District, which includes Kalama-
zoo and borders Lake Michigan
opposite Chicago.
Mr. Trump initially tossed his
support behind Steve Carra before
backing Rep. Bill Huizenga after
the new congressional maps were
finished.
For his part, Mr. Trump cel-
ebrated the news, suggesting Mr.
Upton and the other Republicans
that backed impeachment are
getting what they deserve.
“UPTON QUITS!” Mr. Trump
said in a statement. “4 down and
6 to go. Others losing badly, who’s
next?”
Reps. Anthony Gonzalez of
Ohio, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois
and John Katko of New York also
are not seeking reelection after
voting for impeachment.
Speaking on the House floor
Tuesday, Mr. Upton thanked his
family and staff and said he has
worked “alongside real giants who
put principle over politics.”
“Hopefully civility and bipar-
tisanship versus discord can rule,
not rue, the day,” Mr. Upton said.
Rep. Debbie Dingell, Michigan
Democrat, showered Mr. Upton
with praise, saying his retirement
is a “loss for this country and es-
pecially the people of Michigan.”
“While we may not have found
harmony on every issue, Fred
and I always managed to dis-
agree without vitriolic rhetoric
and mean-spirited language,” Mrs.
Dingell said. “Even through our
toughest discussions, Fred always
found a way to make me laugh —
except today.
“It is his civility that I and Con-
gress will miss the most,” she
said. “Fred really believed he was
an American first. That reaching

Biden extends moratorium on student loan payments through August

Party faithful seeks debt elimination
BY SETH MCLAUGHLIN
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
President Biden is planning
to extend the federal freeze on
student loan payments, pushing
it through the end of August,
according to administration
officials.  student debt.
The move is welcome news
for borrowers who were set to
have their payments kick in again
next month. But Mr. Biden is
facing increasing pressure from
many party faithful to wipe away
student debt altogether.
“I think some folks read these
extensions as savvy politics, but
I don’t think those folks under-
stand the panic and disorder it
causes people to get so close to
these deadlines just to extend
the uncertainty,” Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez said in response
to the pause. “It doesn’t have the
effect people think it does.”
The New York Democrat said:
“We should cancel them.”
That was the thrust of the
argument activists made when
they converged on Washington
this week for a “Pick Up the
Pen, Joe” day of action to cancel
Meanwhile, close to 100 Dem-
ocrats on Capitol Hill, including
Senate Majority Leader Charles
S. Schumer, fired off a letter last
week to Mr. Biden urging him to
extend the pause through the end
of the year and to “provide mean-
ingful student debt cancellation.”
“Canceling a meaningful
amount of student debt will
provide long-term benefits to
individuals and the economy,
helping families buy their first
homes, open a small business,
or invest in their retirement,”
the letter read. “More broadly,

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
said extending the freeze on
student loan payments “doesn’t
have the effect people think it
does. We should cancel them.”
canceling student debt would
add tens of billions of dollars in
GDP growth.”
Mr. Schumer has said Mr.
Biden could make student debt
go away “with the flick of a pen.”
Eliminating all student debt
carries an estimated price tag
of $1.6 trillion. Forgiving up to
$50,000 per borrower would cost
an estimated $1 trillion.
More than 40 million Ameri-
cans are carrying student loan
debt. The average student loan
debt is about $30,000.
The push to wipe it all away
gained momentum in the 2020
Democratic presidential race.
Sens. Bernard Sanders of Ver-
mont and Elizabeth Warren of
Massachusetts popularized the
push. Mr. Biden offered a less ro-
bust vision that would cancel the
undergraduate federal student
loan debt for borrowers with
incomes under $125,000 per year
who attended public institutions
or historically black colleges and
universities. He also pledged to
eliminate $10,000 in student loan
debt per borrower.
The coronavirus relief pack-
age that passed Congress in
2020 suspended loan payments,
eliminated interest rates and
stopped collections on defaulted
loans. The latest move marks the
fifth time the program has been
extended.
Republicans, in general, op-
pose the idea, making it unlikely
that legislation could survive
Congress.
As a result, Democrats and
activists have urged Mr. Biden
to cancel student debt through
an executive order.
Mark Kantrowitz, a higher
education expert, has warned
that Mr. Biden does not have the
legal authority to forgive student
loans with the stroke of a pen.
Mr. Kantrowitz, however, has
said there is a way for the Secre-
tary of Education to implement
broad student loan forgiveness
through a regulatory change. He
said the Department of Educa-
tion has been granted regulatory
authority through income-driven
repayment plans.
Democrats are now calling
on Mr. Biden to act, warning the
party will pay the price in the
midterm elections if he leaves
too many campaign promises
unfulfilled.
“Student debt relief could be
the deciding issue for Demo-
cratic voters in November,” Ms.
Warren said in a recent social
media post.
Speaking at the rally this
week, India Walton, a former
Buffalo mayoral candidate, said
that activists have “waited long
enough” for the federal govern-
ment to forgive student debt.
“We have to continue to fight,
we have to continue to compel
Joe Biden to pick up the pen,
cancel the debt, not $10,000, no
$50,000 - all of it,” Ms. Walton
said. “Do it now. If you want to
stimulate the economy. If you re-
ally are invested in racial, social
and economic justice you can do
it now. Why wait?”

COLORADO

Colorado makes abortion a right for ‘pregnant individuals’

Governor signs law to ‘codify Roe’ ahead of high court ruling
BY VALERIE RICHARDSON
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Colorado joined the ranks of
blue states moving to codify Roe
v. Wade with a law declaring that
abortion is a fundamental right
for “pregnant individuals.”
Gov. Jared Polis signed the
Reproductive Health Equity Act
on Monday, making Colorado the
latest state to enshrine unfettered
abortion access into law ahead of
a Supreme Court ruling expected
to overturn or limit the 1973 Roe
v. Wade decision.
“Roe v. Wade has been eroded
in the last few years,” Mr. Polis
said at the bill-signing ceremony.
“Roe v. Wade has been weakened,
and many legal pundits conclude
it’s likely a matter of time until
the federal protections at the
Supreme Court simply cease to
exist. We in Colorado simply
don’t want to take that risk.”
The Democratic governor did
mention “women” several times
at the start of his speech before
switching to “person.”
“This bill codifies a person’s
right to make reproductive health
care decisions free from govern-
ment interference,” Mr. Polis said.
“In the state of Colorado, the
very serious decision to start a
pregnancy, or to end a pregnancy,
with medical assistance, remains
between a person, their doctor,
and their faith.”
The five-page law scrupu-
lously avoids using “women,”
opting instead for “individuals”
or “Coloradans,” except when
citing Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s
Health Organization, the case
now before the high court.
Gender-neutral references to
women are increasingly the rage
on the left, driven by LGBTQ
advocates who argue that the
use of gender-specific language
in reference to pregnancies is ex-
clusionary for biological women
who identify as men.  Jeff Hunt, director of the
The Biden administration
drew attention in June when it re-
placed “mothers” with “birthing
people” in its 2022 bud-
get proposal.
In addition to guar-
anteeing unlimited abor-
tion access, the Colorado
measure makes it clear
that a “fertilized egg, em-
bryo or fetus does not
have independent or de-
rivative rights under the Polis
laws of this state.”
While symbolically
significant, the law changes little
on the ground in Colorado, which
was already a no-limits abor-
tion state. The Boulder Abortion
Clinic, for example, is known
for providing third-trimester
procedures.
Colorado does require “pa-
rental notification,” not consent,
for minors seeking abortions. Mr.
Polis said in a signing statement
that the law on parental notifica-
tion remains unchanged.
Centennial Institute at Colorado
Christian University, said the
law’s passage represented “one
of the most shameful
moments in Colorado
history.”
“It [the law] al-
lows abortion at
any point in the
pregnancy, even
up until moments
before birth,” Mr.
Hunt said. “It goes
further to prevent
localities from being
able to keep abortion facilities
out of their neighborhoods. If
you wanted to craft a law that
would be a total giveaway to
the abortion industry, allow-
ing no restrictions whatsoever,
Colorado’s radical abortion law
would be that law.”
Three states and the District
of Columbia have “codified the
right to abortion throughout
pregnancy without state inter-
ference,” while 12 states “ex-
plicitly permit abortion prior
to viability,” according to the
Guttmacher Institute.
Colorado followed on the
heels of New Jersey, where Dem-
ocratic Gov. Phil Murphy signed
a bill in January that “codifies the
constitutional right to freedom of
reproductive choice.”
In November, Vermont vot-
ers will decide on a constitu-
tional amendment to guarantee
the right to abortion after the
state legislature voted in Feb-
ruary to move the measure to
the ballot.
The Colorado law did have
an immediate impact on the Park
County Board of County Com-
missioners, which was scheduled
to vote Tuesday on a proclama-
tion designating the jurisdiction
a pro-life “sanctuary county.”
Instead, the commissioners
voted 2-1 to remove the item
from the agenda, citing con-
cerns about the just-signed
state law’s provision warning
that public entities may not
“deny, restrict, interfere with,
or discriminate against an in-
dividual’s fundamental right to
use or refuse contraception or
to continue a pregnancy.”
Commissioner Dick Elsner
said at Tuesday’s meeting that
the proclamation “could put us
sideways with the state,” saying
it was “pretty clear that the
legislative intent was, we are
not to do these things.”
He cited a recent comment
by House Majority Leader
Daneya Esgar, one of the bill’s
sponsors.
“That’s the main reason we
knew we had to move quickly on
this bill this year because if Roe
falls in June, we want to make
sure counties can’t say that you
cannot access abortion in their
county legally,” she told 9News.
Disagreeing was Commis-
sioner Amy Mitchell, who said
the proclamation was a state-
ment, “not an enforcement mech-
anism.” She also argued that the
counties have a duty to protect
“health, safety and welfare.”
“I just want to say that it’s
a sad day when the state of
Colorado has allowed a beautiful
baby to be murdered one minute
before it is born,” Ms. Mitchell
said. “It breaks my heart, and it
is so wrong because there are
families out there that would take
a baby and give it a loving home.”

GUN CONTROL

State may empower citizens to sue over illegal firearms

California bill calls for at least $10,000 in civil damages, attorneys fees for each weapon
BY DON THOMPSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO, CALIF. | For
all California’s nation-leading
attempts to regulate firearms,
the state has not found a way
to deter those happy to skirt
the laws with stolen or home-
made and increasingly preva-
lent “ghost” guns.
In just two recent examples,
police say the first weapon re-
covered after gunmen killed
six people and wounded 12 in
downtown Sacramento early
Sunday had been stolen. The
homemade assault weapon a
father used a month ago and a
few miles away to kill his three
daughters, their chaperone and
then himself was unregistered.
“People argue that we’ve
got the toughest gun laws in
the nation. But they’re clearly
not tough enough,” Democratic
state Sen. Robert Hertzberg
said Monday.
The latest mass shooting in
a nightclub area blocks from
the state Capitol renewed calls
for tougher firearms laws from
President Biden.
Mr. Biden called for Con-
gress to take many of the steps
nationwide that California al-
ready has in place — imposing
background checks, banning
assault weapons and high-ca-
pacity magazines, and outlaw-
ing ghost guns.
The most populous state
considered an innovative new
approach Tuesday, when Mr.
Hertzberg, at the urging of Gov.
A message is written for one of Sunday’s shooting victims in Sacramento, California. The shooting has renewed calls for tougher gun laws.
Gavin Newsom, was expected
to take the first step to advance
a bill allowing private citizens
to sue anyone who distributes
illegal assault weapons, parts
that can be used to build weap-
ons, guns without serial num-
bers, or .50 caliber rifles.
The penalty: at least $10,000
in civil damages for each
weapon, plus attorneys fees.
But the bill would not bar
anyone from possessing or
using the weapons, though
they’re illegal under other
laws. And it would not in-
clude stolen weapons unless
they are otherwise made il-
legal, for instance by filing off
the serial number.
“It’s going to have hopefully
a chilling effect on folks with
ghost guns or assault weapons,”
Mr. Hertzberg said. “You’ve
got to have millions of eye-
balls looking for these guns.
If someone flashes one, talks
about it, all of a sudden there’s
an incentive among the public
in a way that there’s never been
before to try to pull them off
the street.”
Yet Mr. Hertzberg’s bill is
ASSOCIATED PRESS
patterned after a similar Texas
law allowing citizens to go
after those who provide or
assist in providing abortions.
And even if it becomes law,
Mr. Hertzberg’s bill will auto-
matically be invalidated if the
Texas law is eventually ruled
unconstitutional.
“This is tit for tat political
gamesmanship, which is the
worst reason to be passing some
kind of a bill,” said Chuck Mi-
chel, president of the California
Rifle and Pistol Association and
an attorney who wrote a book
about California’s complicated
gun laws. “You’re going to depu-
tize a bunch of amateurs — non-
lawyers, non-cops — to judge a
neighbor’s actions and then give
them the right to drag them into
court over it.”
Giffords Law Center to Pre-
vent Gun Violence, which gen-
erally favors firearms restric-
tions, hasn’t taken a position
on the bill.
The center’s state policy
director, attorney Ari Freilich,
said it “would essentially bring
more enforcement oversight to
some specific criminal laws in
California.”
“It’s not something that’s
really been tried before,” Mr.
Freilich said.
He wouldn’t predict if it
would be effective, but said the
proposal has some “potential
challenges.” Among them is
encouraging civil actions to
punish crimes, and establishing
“a bounty” to be collected by
those who haven’t been directly
harmed.
His organization is back-
ing other bills, including one
that would make it easier for
people to sue gun companies
for liability in shootings that
cause injuries or death. Two
other bills also target firearm
parts and guns without serial
numbers, and those made with
3D printers.

LABOR

Amazon’s first U.S. union succeeds in Staten Island against all odds
BY HALELUYA HADERO
AND ANNE D’INNOCENZIO
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK | When a scrappy
group of former and current
warehouse workers on Staten
Island, New York, went head-to-
head with Amazon in a union
election, many compared it to a
David and Goliath battle.
David won. And the stunning
upset on Friday brought sudden
exposure to the organizers and
worker advocates who realized
victory for the nascent Amazon
Labor Union when so many other
more established labor groups
had failed before them, includ-
ing most recently in Bessemer,
Alabama.
Initial results in that election
show the Retail, Wholesale and
Department Store Union down
by 118 votes, with the majority of
Amazon warehouse workers in
Bessemer rejecting a bid to form
a union. The final outcome is still
up in the air with 416 outstanding
challenged ballots hanging in the
balance. A hearing to review the
ballots is expected to begin in the
coming weeks.
Chris Smalls, a fired Amazon
worker who heads the Amazon
Labor Union, has been critical
of the RWDSU’s campaign, say-
ing it didn’t have enough local
support. Instead, he chose an in-
dependent path, believing work-
ers organizing themselves would
be more effective and undercut
Amazon’s narrative that “third
party” groups were driving union
efforts.
“They were not perceived as
outsiders, so that’s important,”
said Ruth Milkman, a sociolo-
gist of labor and labor move-
ments at the City University of
New York.
While the odds were stacked
against both union drives, with
organizers facing off against a
deep-pocketed retailer with an
uninterrupted track record of
keeping unions out of its U.S.
operations, the Amazon Labor
Union was decidedly under-
funded and understaffed com-
pared with the RWDSU.
Mr. Smalls said that as of early
March, ALU had raised and spent
about $100,000 and was operating
on a week-to-week budget. The
group doesn’t have its own office
space, and was relying on com-
munity groups and two unions
to lend a hand. Legal help came
from a lawyer offering pro-bono
assistance.
Meanwhile, Amazon exer-
cised all its might to fend off the
organizing efforts, routinely hold-
ing mandatory meetings with
workers to argue why unions
are a bad idea. In a filing released
last week, the company disclosed
it spent about $4.2 million last
year on labor consultants, who
organizers say Amazon hired to
persuade workers not to unionize.
Outmatched financially, Mr.
Smalls and others relied on their
ability to reach workers more
personally by making TikTok vid-
eos, giving out free marijuana and
holding barbecues and cookouts.
A few weeks before the elec-
tion, Mr. Smalls’ aunt cooked up
soul food for a union potluck,
including macaroni and cheese,
collard greens, ham and baked
chicken. Another pro-union worker
got her neighbor to prepare Jollof
rice, a West African dish organizers
believed would help them make
inroads with immigrant employees
at the warehouse.
Kate Andrias, professor of
law at Columbia University and
an expert in labor law, noted a
successful union — whether it
is local or national — always
has to be built by the workers
themselves.
“This was a clearer illustration
of this,” Ms. Andrias said. “The
workers did this on their own.”
Amazon’s own missteps also
may have contributed to the elec-
tion outcome on Staten Island.
Bert Flickinger III, a manag-
ing director at the consulting
firm Strategic Resource Group,
said derogatory comments by a
company executive leaked from
an internal meeting calling Mr.
Smalls “not smart or articulate”
and wanting to make him “the
face of the entire union/organiz-
ing movement” backfired.
“It came out as condescending
and it helped to galvanize work-
ers,” said Mr. Flickinger, who
consults with big labor unions.

Battle heats up over federal rental assistance as reallocations begin

In her office at a nonprofit in

still stung by the pandemic and
hoping to get help with their rent.
Ms. Rathke, president of the

million in federal Emergency

But that money, part of what’s

Republican Gov. Pete Ricketts
said he doesn’t want it.
Many other states have in re-

has flat out refused the aid.

COVID-19 struggles rise as wave hits Shanghai
Outbreak afflicts China’s largest
city despite strict lockdowns
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING | The COVID-19 out-
break in China’s largest metrop-
olis of Shanghai remains “ex-
tremely grim” amid an ongoing
lockdown confining around 26
million people to their homes, a
city official said Tuesday.
In what is widely seen as the
sternest test to date of the Com-
munist regime’s strict “zero-CO-
VID” approach to the pandemic,
the director of Shanghai’s work-
ing group on epidemic control,
Gu Honghui, acknowledged to
state media outlets that the out-
break in the city was “still run-

“The situation is extremely
grim,” Mr. Gu said.
China has sent more than
10,000 health workers from
around the country to aid the
city, including 2,000 from the
military, and is mass-testing resi-

locked down for weeks.

BRUSSELS | The European

posed Tuesday a ban on coal
imports from Russia in what
would be the first EU sanctions
targeting the country’s lucra-
tive energy industry over its
war in Ukraine.
European Commission
President Ursula von der
Leyen said the EU needed to
increase the pressure on Rus-
sian President Vladimir Putin
after what she described as
“heinous crimes” carried out
around Kyiv, with evidence
that Russian troops may have
deliberately killed Ukrainian
civilians.
Ms. von der Leyen said the
ban on coal imports is worth
$4.4 billion per year and that

U.S., Britain, Australia to develop hypersonic missiles
BY AAMER MADHANI
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The United States, Britain and
Australia announced Tuesday
they will work together via the
recently created security alliance
known as AUKUS to develop
hypersonic missiles.
The move comes amid grow-
ing concern by the U.S. and allies
about China’s growing military
assertiveness in the Pacific. Presi-
dent Biden, British Prime Minis-
ter Boris Johnson and Australian
Prime Minister Scott Morrison
announced the plan after hold-
ing reviewing the progress of
AUKUS, the Indo-Pacific alliance
that was launched by the three
countries in September.
The leaders said in a joint
statement they are “committed
today to commence new trilateral
cooperation on hypersonics and
ascribed to the outbreak driven
by the omicron BA.2 variant,
which is much more infectious
but also less lethal than the previ-
ous delta strain.
A separate outbreak continues
to rage in the northeastern prov-
ince of Jilin and the capital, Bei-
jing, also saw an additional nine
cases, just one of them asymp-
tomatic. Workers shut down an
entire shopping center in the city
where a case had been detected.
While China’s vaccination rate
hovers around 90%, its domesti-
cally produced inactivated virus
vaccines are seen as weaker than
the mRNA vaccines such as those
produced by Pfizer-BioNTech and
Moderna that are used abroad, as
well as in the Chinese territories
of Hong Kong and Macao. Vac-
cination rates among the elderly
are also much lower than the
population at large, with only
around half of those over 80 fully
vaccinated.
Meanwhile, complaints have
arisen in Shanghai — a metro area
of some 26 million people — over
difficulties obtaining food and
daily necessities, and shortages
of medical workers, volunteers
and beds in isolation wards where
tens of thousands are being kept
for observation.
Shanghai has converted an
exhibition hall and other facili-
ties into massive isolation centers

position from gas-dependent
members like Germany, the
bloc’s largest economy.
Until now, Europe had not
been willing to target Russian
energy over fears that it would
plunge the European economy
into recession. Europe’s depen-
dence on Russian oil, natural
gas and coal means finding
unanimity on energy measures
is a tall order, but the recent
reports of civilian killings by
retreating Russian forces near
Kyiv have increased pressure
for tougher EU sanctions.
The U.S. and United King-
dom previously announced
they were cutting off Russian
oil. Individual EU countries
have announced efforts to
draw down their energy reli-
ance on Russia: Poland says it
plans to block imports of coal
and oil from the country, while
Lithuania said it’s no longer
using Russian natural gas.
“To take a clear stand is
not only crucial for us in Eu-
rope but also for the rest of
counter-hypersonics, and elec-
tronic warfare capabilities, as
well as to expand information
sharing and to deepen coopera-
tion on defense innovation.”
The U.S., Russia and China
have all looked to further develop
hypersonic missiles — guided
missiles so fast that they cannot
be intercepted by any current
missile defense system.
In October, Gen. Mark Milley,
the chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, confirmed that China had
conducted a test of a hypersonic
weapon system as part of its ag-
gressive effort to advance in space
and military technologies.
Gen. Milley described the Chi-
nese test as a “very significant
event of a test of a hypersonic
weapon system, and it is very
concerning,” in a Bloomberg Tele-
vision interview.

Energy policy expert Sim-
one Tagliapietra with the Brue-
gel think tank in Brussels said
coal represented about $22
million in revenue for Russia
from Europe per day at current
prices, compared with $926
million per day for oil and gas.
The coal ban “is important
because it breaks the energy
taboo,” he said, but is not “a
game changer. ... Targeting coal
for the moment is too prudent,
it’s too symbolic and the time
for symbolic measures is gone.”
“It’s not with coal that Putin
can get rich or sustain the fund-
ing of the war. The big flow of
money is certainly oil and gas,
not coal, and that’s the issue.”

we need to look,” he said. “And
that’s exactly what is subject

Because of its climate ambi-
tions, the EU has been mov-

Coal use fell from 1.2 billion
tons a year to 427 million tons
between 1990 and 2020, but
imports rose from 30% to 60%

The notebooks, which in-

States, Ukraine, and all of the allies and
partners that are supporting Ukraine
are going to be involved in this for quite
some time.”
Gen. Milley and Mr. Austin faced
tough questions from some Republican
lawmakers who said that the two men,
along with President Biden, failed to
deter Russian President Vladimir Putin
from invading Ukraine and have built up
a track record of misplaced policy priori-
ties and bad foreign policy assessments
in Afghanistan, Ukraine and elsewhere.
On Ukraine specifically, Mr. Austin
argued that nothing was going to stop
Mr. Putin, short of putting U.S. and NATO
troops inside Ukraine, a move that could
have sparked a major world war.
“I do not believe that our campaign
has failed,” Mr. Austin said. “This is still
in progress and there is a price to be paid
by Putin for what he’s done.”
“If we put forces into Ukraine to fight
Putin, this would be a different story,”
he added. “But we made a decision that
we weren’t going to do that and we made
the decision for the right reasons and I
support those decisions.”
But Gen. Milley acknowledged the
war could have consequences far beyond
the immediate theater in eastern Europe,
calling Russia’s decision to invade “the
greatest threat to peace and security of
Europe and perhaps the world in my 42
years of service in uniform.”
The Pentagon leaders’ appearance
before lawmakers Tuesday, ostensibly to
discuss the Defense Department’s fiscal
2023 budget request, came against the
backdrop of global outrage over alleged
war crimes Russian troops committed in
Bucha, Ukraine, and other regions before
pulling back from Kyiv. Shocking images
from Bucha seem to show civilians who
were executed at close range, some with
bullets to the head and some with their
hands bound. Others appeared to have
had their throats slashed.
The gruesome photos have sparked
fury aimed directly at Mr. Putin and his
allies inside the Kremlin. They’ve also
sparked new calls to expel Russia from
key international bodies such as the
United Nations.

praised Bangkok for its stand to date.
“We appreciate the balanced posi-
tion of the Royal Thai government,”
Russian Ambassador Evgeny Tomikhin
told reporters late last month. “We have
no political dispute.”
On Feb. 28, Thailand declined an
unusually pointed, public demand by 25
Bangkok-based European ambassadors
appealing to the government to condemn
the invasion, which was launched four
days earlier.
“We need to keep a balance,” Thai
Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha told
reporters, explaining why he rejected
their demand.
Coincidentally or not, on the same
day, Thai government officials on Phuket
island, the country’s international tourist
playground, hosted a visit by Ambas-
sador Tomikhin.
The Russian delegation reportedly
suggested upgrading links between
luxurious, beach-blessed Phuket and
Russia’s relatively prosperous northeast
Kamchatka Peninsula to benefit both
countries.
Some see Bangkok following China’s
lead in the Russia-Ukraine crisis, hoping
to stay mostly on the sidelines as Russia
battles the U.S. and its allies, and press-
ing for a peace deal without issuing any
moral judgments. Thai Foreign Minister
Don Pramudwinai and Chinese Foreign
Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday issued a
joint statement after a meeting in Tunxi,
China, calling for new peace talks be-
tween Kyiv and Moscow.
A statement after the meeting said
China and Thailand “will join hands to
curb the negative fallout [from the war]
and maintain the momentum of global
economic recovery.” Higher energy prices,
sanctions and supply chain and tourism
industry disruptions from the conflict
recently moved the Bank of Thailand to
revise downward its official growth fore-
cast for 2022 from 3.4% to 3.2%.
Thailand is being especially gracious
to Russia because in July the two coun-
tries expect to celebrate the 125th an-
niversary of diplomatic relations. That
link is esteemed among Thailand’s ruling
right-wing royalists and others because
it began with intimate personal ties
between the then-Siamese and Russian
royal families during Czar Alexander
III’s reign.
In 1891, three years before becom-
ing the next czar, Nicholas II traveled
through Bangkok and met Siam’s King
Chulalongkorn.
In 1897, King Chulalongkorn visited
the newly enthroned czar in St. Peters-
burg and they established diplomatic
one of the five permanent members of

almost any major action proposed by
the world body.
In a chilling video message to the Se-
curity Council, Mr. Zelenskyy described
what he had seen and heard Monday on
a visit to Bucha.
“Women were raped and killed in
front of their children,” he said, compar-
ing the atrocities to actions from terrorist
groups such as ISIS. “But here it’s being
done by a member of the United Nations
Security Council.”
He said Russia has committed similar
actions in other areas it has occupied
following the invasion of Ukraine.
“Russian troops are deliberately de-
stroying Ukrainian cities to ashes with
artillery and airstrikes. They are delib-
erately blocking cities [and] creating
mass starvation,” Mr.  Zelenskyy  said.
“They are deliberately shooting columns
of civilians on the road who are trying
to escape.”
Mr. Zelenskyy called for a wholesale
reform of the United Nations. Allowing a
nation like Russia to wield its veto power
without consequences “undermines the
whole architecture of global security,”
he said.
The Kremlin has denied allegations
of war crimes. Russian officials this week
said the photos and videos coming out
of Bucha are little more than Ukrainian
propaganda designed to stir up anti-
Russian sentiment.
Beefing up in Europe
But the atrocities will provide even
more fuel for NATO to harden its de-
fenses in Eastern Europe and ramp up
direct security assistance to Ukraine.
While there are already tens of thou-
sands of U.S. troops stationed in Europe,
Gen. Milley discussed the potential for
new American bases and a larger U.S.
troop commitment in those Eastern
European nations that are on the front
lines facing direct Russian aggression.
“My advice would be to create per-
manent bases but don’t permanently
station [forces], so you get the effect of
permanence by rotational forces cycling
through permanent bases,” he said. “I
believe that a lot of our European al-
lies, especially those such as the Bal-
tics or Poland and Romania, and else-
where — they’re very, very willing to
establish permanent bases. They’ll build
them, they’ll pay for them.”

Warsaw, Poland, said on its website.

Russian woman.
Russia initially provided diplomatic
support bolstering Thailand against 19th
century French and British colonialists
before Siam renamed itself Thailand. But
Nicholas II appeared to side with France

But Pentagon leaders argued Tues-
day that traditional armored vehicles
can still be highly effective. Russia’s
tactics, not its tanks, are to blame for
the failures so far in Ukraine, the U.S.
top brass told a House Armed Services
Committee hearing.
“We’ve learned that just because you
have the capability doesn’t mean you’re
going to overwhelm another force eas-
ily,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin
told lawmakers Tuesday morning. “The
Russians have significant mechanized
capability. But as you look at the tech-
niques, tactics and procedures that they
used, they were not very effective. And

makers over the question of whether

Mr.  Austin cautioned lawmakers
against drawing parallels between the
two crises, even though Beijing has given
the Kremlin strong rhetorical support in
its clash with the West so far.
Rep. Mike Gallagher, Wisconsin Re-
publican, pressed Mr. Austin on whether
the Western allies’ response to Russia’s
invasion would have any impact on
Chinese President Xi Jinping’s calculus
regarding Taiwan.
“I think that it’s not advisable to make
direct comparisons between Ukraine
and Taiwan,” Mr. Austin said. “These are
two completely different scenarios, two
different theaters.”
“I don’t want to speculate about what
is in Mr. Xi’s head,” he added, “but I
think as the world looks at this they’ve
been impressed by the commitment, the
resolve of many countries in the world
to resist that kind of behavior.”  “While everyone else in the world
Tuesday’s lengthy House hearing
also featured a heated clash between
Mr. Austin and Rep. Matt Gaetz, Florida
Republican, who used his question time
to charge that Mr. Austin and other
diplomatic might of China. For Bang-
kok, the resulting “bamboo diplomacy,”
coupled with the need to put a priority
on domestic problems, translates into a
deep reluctance to alienate anyone in the
emerging divisions among major powers
anywhere in the world.
“In the main, ... Thailand tries not to
take sides in the geopolitical squabbles
among the great powers. Hence the Thai
government’s assertion of neutrality in
the Russia-Ukraine War,” Mr. Storey
wrote in an analysis for the institute’s
journal Fulcrum, which focuses on
Southeast Asian issues.
Thailand’s “rather passive approach
to international affairs is also a product
of its domestic politics, which have been
roiled by a series of political crises, some
violent, in the wake of the country’s two
military coups,” he wrote. “These crises
have taken up much of the establish-
ment’s policy bandwidth, leaving little
space for foreign affairs.”
Other opportunities
Russia is seeking other diplomatic
opportunities in the region, particularly
with nations already at odds with the U.S.
and the West. Neighboring Myanmar’s
coup-installed military regime perceives
Russia’s war as “the right thing to do for
Russia to consolidate its sovereignty,”
junta spokesman Zaw Min Tun said.
The Kremlin was “showing the world
that it stands as a powerful nation in
the global balance of world peace,” he
told the U.S.-backed Voice of America’s
(VOA) Burmese News.
The junta’s No. 2 commander, Soe
Win, recently visited Russia reportedly
to sign military contracts worth $2.3 bil-
lion, including a new air defense system,
the VOA report said.
“In late January of this year, a Rus-
sian vessel was pictured unloading a
consignment of BRDM-2M 4X4 armored
vehicles, and shipping containers full
of other [military] toys-for-the-boys, at
Yangon’s Thilawa port,” it reported.
During the past 10 years, Myanmar’s
purchases from Russia include MiG-29
jet fighters, Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft mis-
sile and gun systems, artillery, helicop-
ters, radar, and Orlan-10E surveillance
drones.
Myanmar’s junta, which seized power
in a February 2021 coup, is desperate
for Russian support. Much of the in-
ternational community shuns the junta
because of the military’s assaults against
pro-democracy activists and others.
“Russian arms deals have continued
since Myanmar’s coup,” wrote Edith
Mirante, a pro-democracy activist and
author of two books about Myanmar.
Myanmar also has bought weapons from
Ukraine and Belarus.
Some analysts suspect Russia may

“Because the Russians have not
been effective in using their armor, it
does not mean that armor is ineffective
on the battlefield going forward,” Mr.
Austin said in testimony to the House
Armed Services Committee. “It means
they were ineffective because of the
things they failed to do in this fight.”
Ukraine claims to have destroyed
hundreds of Russian tanks since the
invasion began in late February. The
true number is difficult to pin down,
but social media has been flooded in
recent weeks with photos and video
of bombed-out Russian vehicles that
were destroyed by Ukrainian anti-tank
weaponry — much of it supplied from
the U.S. and its allies.
Small, relatively cheap drones also
have proven remarkably effective at
stopping Russian tanks in their tracks.

ons development.
“What do you mean we’re behind in

Elsewhere in Southeast Asia, Russia
is experiencing mixed luck.
Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Ma-
laysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore
and Thailand all endorsed a U.N. General
Assembly resolution that demanded
Russia “immediately, completely and un-
conditionally withdraw all of its military
forces from the territory of Ukraine.”
Tiny, wealthy Singapore took South-
east Asia’s hardest stance and copied
some U.S. sanctions barring transactions
with top Russian financial institutions.
Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien
Loong offered a strong condemnation of
what he called the “unprovoked attack
by Russia on Ukraine” in an Oval Office
meeting with President Biden last week.
“The sovereignty, political indepen-
dence, and territorial integrity of all
countries, big and small, must be re-
spected,” Mr. Lee said. “The unprovoked
military invasion of a sovereign country
under any pretext is unacceptable.”
The one-party regimes in Vietnam
and Laos abstained on the U.N. resolu-
tion. Both countries’ communist na-
tionalists achieved victory with Soviet
military assistance during the 1965-75
U.S.-Vietnam War, plus economic aid
during the 1980s.
Since 1995, Vietnam has relied heavily
on Russian weapons, including subma-
rines and fighter jets, buying $8 billion in
Russian military hardware and turning
Moscow into Hanoi’s biggest weapons
supplier. This year, Hanoi and Moscow
celebrated their 20th anniversary of
strategic partnership.
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte,
meanwhile, appears wary of trying to
circumvent U.S.-led sanctions and may
cancel plans to buy Russian weapons,
although he noted in a March 17 inter-
view that he considers Russian President
Vladimir Putin “a personal friend.”

can be attributed to Russia’s poor de-
cision-making. For example, Russian
forces for the most part have failed to
camouflage their armored columns,
leaving them exposed to enemy fire. 
Russian vehicles, traveling single-file
in long convoys on open roads, also have
regularly been stuck in the mud or have
simply run out of gas. Those simple
logistical failures, U.S. officials say, have
proven disastrous for the Russian force.
Still, Pentagon leaders acknowledge
that the nature of warfare is changing
and that all militaries need to rethink
their approach to combat. While tanks
can still serve a purpose, the increas-
ingly urban nature of warfare means
the role of armor will change.
“The character of war is going to
shift,” Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told lawmakers
Tuesday. “What you’re seeing is forces
that are optimized to fight in rural,

Mr. Austin then responded with an

“Again, this is the most capable, the
most combat-credible force in the world.

he said. “And this budget helps us to do

“I’m embarrassed by your leadership,”
Mr. Gaetz responded. “I’m not embar-
rassed by my country. I wish we were
not losing to China. That is so disgraceful
that you would sit here and conflate your
failures with the failure of the uniformed
service members.” 
Mr. Austin said charges U.S. analysts
misjudged how the Ukraine war would
play out needed to be balanced by the
fact that U.S. and Western military sup-
port has helped Kyiv largely hold off a
bigger invasion force for far longer than

Activists: Fetuses handed over to probe timing of abortions

The pro-life activists involved

federal partial-birth laws were
broken when the abortions were

doc’s guidance
BY MEREDITH COHN
BALTIMORE SUN
BALTIMORE | In a high-tech
lab on Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity’s Homewood campus in
Baltimore, engineers have been
building a robot that may be
able to stitch back together the
broken vessels in your belly
and at some point maybe your
brain, no doctor needed.
The robot has a high-tech
camera on one arm and a high-
tech sewing machine on a sec-
ond arm. It’s already reattached
halves of a pig’s intestines.
“It’s like park-assist in a
car,” said Axel Krieger, an as-
sistant professor of mechani-
cal engineering in Hopkins’
Whiting School of Engineer-
ing. “Performs the procedure
autonomously.”
This kind of suturing is per-
formed more than a million
times a year in surgeries around
the country, said Mr. Krieger,
part of a team developing the
robot and senior author on a
recent paper describing the
technology in Science Robotics.
The goal is to develop in the
next several years a robot that
makes the intricate and delicate
work of suturing more consis-
tent. Missing a stitch or doing
one awkwardly could cause a
catastrophic complication for
a patient.
The robotic procedure is
also less invasive as it’s per-
formed laparoscopically,
through small holes in the skin
rather than a large opening.
The Hopkins engineers ex-
pect the robot to be cheaper
than existing robotic technol-
ogy and more portable. They
want to develop a mobile ver-
sion that eventually could be
used on an ambulance or in the
field for emergencies, such as
stitching up a major artery to
stop bleeding.

The Republican-controlled
House and the Democrat-con-

own spending plans in February,
but were unable to reach an agree-
ment. The two bills were about $3
billion apart on tax policy.
Republican Gov. Glenn Young-

MARYLAND
The team of mechanical engineers from Johns Hopkins University are developing a SMART robot
that can perform soft tissue surgeries such as intestinal reconnections.
Food and Drug Administration
calls them robotically assisted
surgical devices.
The best known is the da
Vinci robot federally approved
for general laparoscopic surgi-
cal use in 2000. The device has
a console where a surgeon can
see a 3D image and move sev-
eral arms with surgical instru-
ments, essentially becoming an
extension of the doctor.
“The device is not actually
a robot because it cannot per-
form surgery without direct
human control,” the FDA says.
The da Vinci robot is now
commonly used in gallbladder
removal, hysterectomies and
prostate removals because it
works best on “complex tasks
in confined areas,” according
to the FDA.
Other robotic machines
assisted in surgery before da
Vinci was developed but re-
quired far larger incisions.
“The Senate has some spend-
ing proposals, and some of them
are good and we agree with them,
and we have some proposals on
the tax policy side that they ac-
tually agree with. We will come
to a compromise; it’s a matter
of how long it’s going to take,”
said Republican Delegate Barry
Knight, chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee.

resolution to remove language

ers to consider any legislation
sent over by the governor during
the special session.
Mr. Surovell said special ses-

significantly to the expense
of surgery because the cost
of the equipment reaches into

from Mr. Youngkin to suspend
the state’s gas tax of 26.2 cents
per gallon for three months to
give Virginians some relief from
a sharp increase in gas prices
following the Russian invasion
of Ukraine.
“What this means is that there
will be no vote in the Senate on

Slain journalist’s family
testifies about Islamic
State ransom demands
BY MATTHEW BARAKAT
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Islamic State terrorists
who kidnapped American jour-
nalist James Foley never made
serious attempts to negotiate a
ransom before brutally execut-
ing him, family members testi-
fied Monday.
Foley’s brother and mother
took the witness stand at U.S.
District Court in Alexandria at
the terrorism trial of El Shafee
Elsheikh, a Briton accused
of played a leading role in a
hostage-taking scheme that re-
sulted in the deaths of Foley and
three other Americans — Steven
Sotloff, Peter Kassig and Kayla
Mueller.
Foley, a freelance photog-
rapher who grew up in New
Hampshire, left for Syria in Oc-
tober 2012. He was well aware of
the potential dangers — indeed,
he had spent more than a month
in captivity in Libya while on as-
signment during that country’s
civil war.
Diane Foley, his mother, tes-
tified that she became deeply
concerned about her son when
he failed to call them as he usu-
ally would on Thanksgiving.
It wasn’t until late November,
after Thanksgiving, that they
actually received an email from
his captors seeking to establish
a line of communication.
Michael Foley, James’ brother,
said the emails exchanged in
November 2012 and January
2013 sought either the release
of Muslim prisoners or 100 mil-
lion euros.
“We had no ability to secure
either of those demands,” he
said. “It’s not a reasonable de-
mand. It’s not a negotiation, in
my mind.”
The captors did provide evi-
dence that they were in posses-
sion of Foley and that he was still
alive by giving personal details
about James’ life that would have
been known only to him and his
family.
But despite repeated efforts
to engage the hostage-takers
in talks, the Foleys received no

Saslaw said that under the state

and the amendment would not
prevent that.
Mr. Surovell later withdrew the
amendment, saying there wasn’t a
clear agreement on what its effect
would be.
In a news release, Mr. Youngkin
said his gas tax proposal would
suspend the tax for May, June
and July, and then phase it back in
slowly in August and September.

said they conducted funerals and

The activists said they were
given the 115 fetuses outside the
Washington Surgi-Clinic on F

“The likelihood that some
were born alive is undeniable,”

Finally, in Au-
gust 2013, they
received an
Elsheikh email titled: “A
message to the

ernment and their sheep-like
citizens.”
The email criticized the U.S.
for a recent bombing campaign
that had been undertaken against
the Islamic State.
“As for the scum of your so-
ciety who are held prisoner by

promised retaliation, “the first
of which being the blood of your
American citizen, James Foley.
He will be executed as a DIRECT
result of your transgressions to-
wards us!”
A few days later, Foley was
beheaded in a gruesome video
broadcast across the internet.
Both Foleys testified that they
first learned of James’ death from
reporters calling for reaction.
The refusal to negotiate in
serious terms stands in contrast
to earlier testimony, where ne-
gotiators for European hostages
engaged in lengthy discussions
that resulted in the release of
hostages. One hostage was re-
leased after raising 2 million
euros, a negotiated figure that
was just a fraction of what was
demanded from the Foleys.
Mr. Elsheikh is better known
as one of “the Beatles,” a nick-
name he and at least two other
Brits were given by their captives
because of their accents.
Mr. Elsheikh and a longtime
friend, Alexenda Kotey, were
captured together and brought
to Virginia to face trial. Kotey
pleaded guilty last year in a
plea bargain that calls for a life
sentence.
A third Beatle, Mohammed
Emwazi, served as executioner
in the video of Foley’s execution.
Emwazi was killed in a drone
strike.

rupted supply of reliable, affordable energy.
Without it, factories close, transportation
slows down, and the military is paralyzed.
Just the threat of an energy cut-off can force govern-
ments to alter domestic and foreign policy.
Though Western European leaders knew that their
“greening” of domestic energy production had
left them undesirably dependent on Russian oil
and gas, President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of
Ukraine jolted them into realizing just how vul-
nerable they had become. Virtually overnight,
Germany and other Western nations reversed
long-held policies, determined to become more
energy self-sufficient.
Will the U.S. follow suit? Will it unleash
the full productive and innovative capacity of
the American economy in a renewed drive for
energy security?
To do this, we must recognize the policy

biggest problems right now are government
regulations that impede domestic mining for
rare earth minerals and the further develop-
ment of every form of energy, from conven-
tional fuels to nuclear power to renewables.
Let’s start with rare earth elements, the 17
natural elements that are essential to energy
technology innovation. These minerals are
needed to manufacture almost all high-tech
products, including cell phones, batteries,
airplanes, solar panels, wind turbine blades,
satellites and military technology.
Today, we import 80% of the rare earths
we need from China. We must make sure the
rare earth supply chain cannot be cut off, even
temporarily. Such disruptions have happened
before.
About a decade ago, China decided to use its control
of rare earth mining as a tool against Japan. Rather
than suffer in silence, the Japanese reacted by building
a replacement supply chain independent of China. As
a result of Tokyo’s action, China’s global market share
dropped from 95% to today’s 70% and gave the Japanese
much-needed breathing room.
The lesson is that markets work … if we let them. The

It’s not a lack of supply that inhibits mining here; it’s
an over-abundance of regulations. The current permit-

This would immediately drive free-market
investment into new green energy projects.
When it comes to energy policy, the group
on the “right” is calling for more domestic oil,
gas and coal production now, while the group
on the “left” is calling for more green energy
production now. Somewhere in the middle, a
group is calling for more “all of the above” en-
ergy production, including nuclear. Ironically,
none of it will be possible until we get serious
about cutting red tape.
If public policy leaders will once and for all
come together around this issue and slash red
tape, they will deliver a better present and a
more prosperous — and secure — future for
the American people.

COMMENT & ANALYSIS

Don’t trust the antitrusters

Bottle up the Klobuchar bill

S
en. Amy Klobuchar is no fan of the
free market system. One of the Sen-
ate’s leading advocates for revising
laws concerning antitrust, the Minnesota
Democrat has been working tirelessly to
bring American business under govern-
mental control.
She’s not alone. Her bill, the “American
Innovation and Choice Online Act” (S.
2992), applies to publicly traded companies
with a $550 billion market capitalization
and privately held companies with revenue
over $30 billion. And it hits companies in
sectors besides Big Tech, which both the
left and right currently find to be a useful
punching bag.
Some of the folks concerned about so-
called online censorship have convinced
themselves Ms. Klobuchar’s bill is the club
that will threaten Big Tech into changing
how it operates. But that’s only because
they’re being willfully blind to the folly of
letting federal regulatory agencies like the
Federal Trade Commission or the Federal
Communications Commission act as the
gatekeepers protecting free speech.

After all, Ukraine’s present government is composed
of “anti-Russian fascists and oligarchs.” Stealing yet
another line from Russian President Vladimir Putin,

said that the “Ukrainian government is incredibly evil
and has been pushing woke ideologies.”
As I say, these quislings came out against Mr. Zel-

with Bret Baier on Fox News last week. Mr.

I still do. But there’s more to it than that.
Liberals aren’t just trying to mislead us but
also themselves. They hide from reality in
the undergrowth of cliches and catchwords.
They see themselves as morally superior
beings who are defenders of civil liberties, open
to reasoned debate and tolerant of opposing
views.
In every case, the opposite is true. But
they can’t admit it.
And as their minds close tighter and
tighter, it becomes harder and harder to
look in the mirror and not see a man in
jackboots and an armband staring back
at them. Thus, twisting reality into truly
grotesque shapes has become a full-time
occupation.
Arson and mayhem in the name of “ra-
cial justice” are excused as “mostly peace-
ful protests.” Ballot security laws to ensure
election integrity are efforts to “disenfran-
chise minorities.” Conservative views are
ever and always hate speech.
Florida’s measure to prevent the sexual-
ization of young children is being attacked
as the “Don’t Say Gay” law. Once the gold

What opponents of the law are saying is,

are attacked as bigots who want to make
sexual minorities invisible.

They are always worth listening to. Yet in this

Much of the world has been roused against
them. It is time for all the world to take a stand.
I wish I could launch a witticism or two about
committed in time of war and against civilians
do not invite humor.
My British friend, Andrew Roberts, the
Churchill biographer, spoke at a conference
of conservatives in Brussels recently and his
remarks were reprinted in The Wall Street
Journal over the weekend. He reminded the
assembled that there are times when conserva-
tives are duty-bound to stand out and speak up.
Mr. Roberts was disappointed in his remarks
by people like David Stockman, the budget
director under President Ronald Reagan, who,
by the way, had a spotty career with the Old
Cowboy. In his own words Reagan “took him
to the woodshed” on at least one occasion.
It is time for Mr. Stockman to return to the
woodshed.
Provoked by Mr. Stockman, Mr. Roberts
elaborated “… sometimes I feel that there are
some in our movement who enjoy being con-
trary for its own sake — out of perversity or
desire for attention — regardless of the cost to
the wider movement and how it looks to ordi-
nary people. They fail to heed the enormous damage
done to the right in denouncing Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the favorable opinion that
is strongly held by many millions, perhaps billions, of
people around the world who have been profoundly
moved by Ukraine’s plight.”

other quislings presumably chiming in denouncing

Mr. Stockman added that Ukraine is not a real coun-
try, and has no claim to sovereignty.
The language employed by Mr. Stockman has a Vi-
chy-like quality to it — for instance, “collaborationist”
and when Mr. Stockman speaks of President Vladimir chief of The American Spectator. He is a senior

more compact word, “Lebensraum.” Still, I think Mr.

Zelenskyy came across as reasonable
and sympathetic, not beating his chest,
only calling for that which he and his
countrymen had earned. That is to say, a
country free of Russian invaders and at
peace with the world.  
Secondly came the revelations of the
weekend. After Ukrainian troops pushed
back the Russians in Bucha, a suburb of
Kyiv, they found civilian corpses strewn
throughout the city, most showing signs
of having been tortured. There were
landmines the Russians had hidden in
homes and within the corpses. Women
had been raped in front of their children.
Men had been executed with their hands
behind their backs. Instead of fighting
their enemies, the Ukrainian military,
the cowardly Russians committed
crimes against humanity as they fled, but
flee they did.
Mr. Roberts is right in his summation.
He says, “The martyrdom of Ukraine
and the Churchillian leadership Mr.
Zelenskyy and his people are showing
has changed the political landscape.
If we believe in uniting the right, and
especially if we want to do it when the
left is so disunited, now is the time for
open-hearted and full-throated support
for Ukraine and its leader.”
As I have been ending this column for weeks:

supported it in a Public Opinion Strategies
poll.
In its “Guide to Language and Abor-
tion,” The America College of Obstetri-
cians and Gynecologists urges us not to
say “baby.” ACOG demands that we stop
using “inherently biased and inaccurate”
language like baby or unborn child. Instead,
it wants us to say embryo (for the first eight
weeks of gestation) and fetus after that, up
to the moment of birth. Both are suitably
soothing terms that allow abortion sup-
porters to hide from the reality of human
reproduction.
The absurdity of this is manifest. When
a pregnant woman visits her obstetrician,
does he ask her, “So, how’s the fetus doing?”
We’re in for another surge at our south-
ern border if Article 42 is repealed. Over
a million were added to our population
in 2021. The media call them “migrants”
instead of illegal immigrants — even though
they entered the country in violation of our
laws, hence, illegally.
But “illegal” is such a harsh (albeit ac-
curate) designation. If we called a thing
what it is, even some Democrats might be
forced to act.
Then there’s the ongoing debate over
Big Tech censorship.
One of the many things you’re not allowed
to say on social media is that a man who thinks
he’s a woman — and insists on being treated
as a woman — is and will remain a man unless
he’s figured out a way to change his genetic
makeup.
Companies like Twitter and Facebook could
say: We don’t like your ideas because we’re
offended or threatened by them. Instead, we
are told they violate unstated “community
standards.”  according to the report. Since
Which community — Italian Americans,
Asians and Pacific Islanders? They won’t tell
us. It’s Kafka-esque. Your viewpoint is on trial,
but you won’t be told the charges — just that
saying these things violates an unstated code of
an unnamed community.
This reached its low point at Yale Law
School recently when the Federalist Society
could not hold a forum on free speech and
religious freedom, which offended the “woke”
community. Student protesters screamed and
banged on walls so loudly that the event had to
be canceled.
When told by the moderator that they were
“disrupting the free speech of the speakers,”
protestors shot back, “You’re disrupting us.”
In other words, by trying to block the heckler’s
veto, the moderator violated their civil liberties.
They’ve embraced the doctrine (popularized
by Cultural Marxist Herbert Marcuse) that
voicing certain views constitutes an act of
aggression.
Words can enlighten and inspire (like
the Gettysburg Address) or indoctrinate,
obfuscate and rationalize. Overwhelmingly,
the left has chosen the latter.
It’s taking us to a dark place, where
most don’t want to go. Someday, words
may be replaced by sticks and stones — on
both sides. Call it the revenge of the canceled.

ported: “Chinese man Sun

over Beijing’s ‘Fox Hunt’ for overseas
‘fugitives.’ ” Sun, accused of enlisting
others, including a U.S. law enforce-
ment officer, to spy on and blackmail
his victims, allegedly targeted
about 35 overseas Chinese who
were in trouble at home, seek-
ing to pressure them to return
to China.
On Jan. 18, 2022, human
rights NGO Safeguard Defend-
ers published a report high-
lighting organized and secretive
methods used by the Chinese
government to compel “refu-
gees” to backpedal to China
from overseas. The report uses
the term “involuntary return”
to refer to the fact that the
Chinese government using
compulsion and illegal means
to extradite unwilling individu-
als. Case studies and reports
issued by Safeguard Defenders
expose the scope of the Chinese
government’s transnational op-
pression and describe China’s
repeated violations of the sov-
ereignty of foreign nations.
Since the COVID-19 pan-
demic began in early 2020,
the Chinese government has
used various means to capture
more than 2,500 fugitives from
overseas and compel them to
return to China under a state-
sanctioned abduction program,
the Chinese Communist Party
launched Operation Fox Hunt in
2014, followed by Operation Sky Net
in 2015, over 10,000 individuals have
been extradited to China.
Since Xi Jinping became president
in 2013, the monitoring operation
has undergone multiple revisions.
Operation Fox Hunt was launched
by the Ministry of Public Security in
June 2014 to trace individuals who
alleged to be involved in economic
crimes. The program’s aim is to
extend Mr. Xi’s anti-corruption cam-
paign overseas.
In 2015, China launched Opera-
tion Sky Net under the auspices of
the Supreme People’s Procuratorate
— China’s highest national agency
responsible for legal prosecution and
investigation. It was later consoli-
dated with Operation Fox Hunt, and
also includes other significant op-
erations synchronized by state and
party agencies. Moreover, in 2018,
Operation Sky Net was undertaken
by the National Supervisory Com-
mission, a state agency launched
to expand the powers of the CCP’s
internal anti-corruption body, the
Central Commission for Discipline
Inspection.

authority guiding China’s interna-
tional judicial cooperation and moni- cial judicial agreements, such as
toring efforts overseas. According to
Safeguard Defenders, Chinese law
states that the NSC is authorized to
use illegal means, including “kidnap-
ping,” as part of its fugitive deporta- proved kidnapping in their extra-
tion operation.
One extrajudicial means used by
the Chinese government is called
“persuading to return” (quan-fan),
which involves coaxing and convinc- residing abroad by issuing “red
ing the alleged fugitive to return
willingly and face prosecution.
“Persuading to return” is
abstract and political work. The
NSC’s fundamental method is to
convince the alleged fugitive that, if Moroccan government after China
they agree to return, they will face
a lighter punishment.
Another blatantly illegal method
used by the Chinese government
is to kidnap the alleged fugitive.
If exposed, such cases can cause
“diplomatic disputes,” but Chinese
authorities will do everything in
their power to keep these “transna-
tional abductions” out of the public claimed that the individuals targeted

To obtain its targets, the Chi-

medium for coordinating offi-
extradition treaties. According
to Safeguard Defenders, 19% of
involuntary returns to China have
been from countries that have ap-
dition treaties with the Chinese
government.
The CCP has even leveraged

governments to arrest fugitives on
their own soil. A recent case is the
extradition of Idris Hasan, a Uy-
ghur exile who was detained by the

But the political purpose of the no-

Interpol later withdrew the notice in
the face of public outrage.

on Interpol’s executive commit-
tee. The Chinese government has

ers, most of them are human rights
activists and asylum seekers. They
include former judges, ordinary
government, and Uyghurs who fled
China after being persecuted by
Chinese authorities in Xinjiang.
The International Criminal Court
received proof that Chinese agents
operating abroad have sought to
coerce the extradition of Uyghurs
to China. According to a database
jointly compiled by the Oxus
Society for Central Asian
Affairs and various Uyghur
human rights projects, over 400
Uyghurs have been involun-
tarily extradited to China since
1997.
From time to time, foreign
governments have intervened
to obstruct Chinese fugitive-
hunting operations. In 2000,
the U.S. Justice Department
indicted eight Chinese individ-
uals for conniving to act as il-
legitimate agents of China in an
effort to coerce U.S. residents
to return to China.
According to reports pub-
lished by Safeguard Defenders,
various foreign governments —
including Canada, the United
States and Switzerland — have
complied with China’s extradi-
tion operations. For instance,
Switzerland has eased off the
Chinese policing operation and
even entered into a secret agree-
ment with the Chinese govern-
ment, whereby Swiss authorities
provide Chinese police with
tourist visas to roam around
freely in the entire Schengen
Area to interview Chinese na-
tionals domiciled there.
A 2021 report issued by Safeguard
Defenders revealed that Mihray
Erkin, a 31-year-old Uyghur woman,
is believed to have died in detention
in Xinjiang in 2020. Erkin, who previ-
ously worked in Japan as a scientific
researcher, was forced to return to
Xinjiang in 2019 after the CCP co-
erced and intimidated her parents.
The “hidden” motive for China’s
surreptitious extraditions is crystal
clear. Yaqiu Wang, a China re-
searcher at Human Rights Watch,
has warned host countries to be
wary of extradition requests from
China. Chinese authorities should
provide individuals with “adequate
opportunity” to challenge extradition
requests, and not let them return to
China if there is any possibility of
them facing harassment or mistreat-
ment. The Chinese government
continues to peddle its lies that it has
“never violated foreign or interna-
tional laws,” but Safeguard Defend-
ers has revealed the dark truth about
China’s transnational abductions and
coerced extraditions.

mericans are tired of losing sleep.
On the second Sunday in
March, Americans push their
clocks forward an hour and
bear a shorted night to initi-
ate daylight saving time.
Church attendance is
unusually sparse. Some folks
miss the exercise altogether or show up late, just in
time for the coffee. I like the latter solution — often
it rescues the faithful from a sermon on so-
cial justice premised more on the heretics
of critical race theory than prophets of the
Bible.
Most folks take a week or two to adjust
now and implemented DST as a temporary wartime
measure.
Subsequently, New York City and many other
metro areas continued seasonal DST. It was national
policy again for World War II and continued by many
states afterward. It became a permanent national
policy in 1966 with the Uniform Time Act.
The end and start dates have been tinkered with
since, endlessly studied by psychologists and physi-
cians, and cursed the morning after DST commences
of the sun. Morning light triggers alertness, modulates
our stress responses and regulates our emotions. Eve-
ning darkness releases melatonin that helps us sleep.
Year-round DST — especially in northern states
where the amount of daylight varies more with the
country’s
seasons — could increase emotional disorders, obe-
sity, heart attacks, diabetes and all manner of ailments
associated with modern living. These problems would

and it shows. A 2020 study of traffic incidents
showed a 6% spike in fatal car crashes the first
week of DST.
As a nation that likes to burn the candle
at both ends, we aren’t bothered as much by
getting an extra hour of sleep in November.
However, polls show about two-thirds of
Americans would like the biannual tinkering
with time to stop and most of those would
prefer year-round DST.
Folks can rush home or hobble from home
offices to garden and attend kids’ soccer
games. For those of us who still shop outside,
it gives a boost to retailing.
Golfers could squeeze in eight or even 16
holes in the warmer latitudes. Though some
diehards in the north will dress like snowmen
and short of hail or an ice storm, risk getting
beaned by the errant swing.
Through mid-19th century, Americans
set their watches against local sundials. New
York was minutes ahead of Washington and
behind Boston.
The advent of railroads made that conven-
tion impossible. Those first published sched-
ules according to the time at their company’s
headquarters and left it to communities along
their lines to transpose into local time. Even-
tually, they adopted a more-or-less unified system of
time zones of peculiar formation — the western border
of the Eastern Time Zone ran through the major sta-
tions in Detroit, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Charleston and
Atlanta.
The procedure was adopted ad hoc across the
split states and all that is missing is to let
states redraw those borders in adopting
standard or daylight time — a free market
in time, based on community preferences.
New York, for example, stretching from
Staten Island to Plattsburgh, could split
off the Adirondacks for standard time,
and states like Tennessee, already divided
between Central and Eastern Time, could
move their time zone border eastward to
accommodate.
Many fewer children walk or bike to
school, and the accidents that caused
such a furor when year-round daylight
savings time was implemented briefly
during the 1970s energy crisis would
be less of an issue. Americans already
ignore the metabolic cues by rising in the
dark to steal hours of evening sunlight.
Often, schools ignore the sun anyway.
For about 25 years, when my wife taught
in Fairfax County, her first classes began
at 7:20 a.m. The kids with long bus rides
were up before dawn no matter the
clock.

he past few weeks have been a
grim reminder of how inno-
cent people too often suffer
under the fits of oppression. I
am not speaking of Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine — though that, too, is a deplor-
able example — but of America’s foster
care system. 
Two court cases in New York and
Texas suffice to explain the current situ-
ation: In the first, a couple exploited a
background check loophole in the city’s
foster care system to prostitute eight girls.
In Texas, a staff member at a foster care
facility for young women who have been
sexually trafficked has been accused of
retrafficking seven girls placed under her
care.
Living in California I am all too aware
of the challenges children placed in the
foster care system face. There are ap-
proximately 60,000 children in our state’s
system — one-third of the whole nation’s
foster children. These children have faced
many levels of trauma, including abandon-
ment, neglect, abuse and poverty. Sadly,
this does not set them up for success:
About 20% end up homeless within two
years of aging out of foster care.
Anna’s story is an example of this
destructive pattern. She was removed
from her neglectful and abusive household
when she was only 9 months old. Like
many children in her situation, she was

since. Along the way, Anna experienced

Kansas’ NCAA title roots trace back three years
BY EDDIE PELLS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS | The Great Kan-
sas Comeback, as it will forever
be known in the history books, is
about more than just one stifling,
scintillating 20-minute stretch of
Jayhawks basketball.
The championship KU cap-
tured Monday night traced its
roots back to 2020, when the
Jayhawks were a team that looked
very much on track for the pro-
gram’s fourth national title.
Instead, it was KU’s come-from-
behind 72-69 victory over North
Carolina on Monday that brought
that fourth championship banner
back to Allen Fieldhouse. The Jay-
hawks insisted they’d share it with
the 2020 team, too.
“It’s partially won for them,” said
coach Bill Self, who has led Kansas
to two of its four titles. “Because I
always thought the 2020 team was
better, more equipped to do well in
the NCAA Tournament.”
Led by Devon Dotson and
first-round NBA pick Udoka Azu-
buike, that 2020 team was, in fact,
a team built for a championship. It
was headed for a top seeding and
the odds-on favorite to win it all.
It was a team that never got
its chance after the COVID-19

longtime personal coach.
While Lee is competing for
NCAA titles, she also feels she
has much to prove. Lee’s all-
around gold came after favorite
Simone Biles withdrew from the
competition citing mental health
concerns. Lee said she doesn’t
think she’s reached her full po-
tential yet and that is indeed gold
medal-worthy.
“I think it’s something I just
want to prove to myself, because
I think I have a lot of doubters,”
said Lee, a Hmong American who
is from Minnesota. “And prove
it to everybody else but more
importantly to myself.”
Lee has a leotard line with
GK Elite and a clothing line with
Pretty Little Thing, which she
tracks while living in a dormitory
like other Auburn freshmen with
roommate/teammate Sara Hub-
bard. She has splurged on a car
and her first designer bag.
She is still taking online
courses and spent the fall in Los
Angeles for the dancing competi-
tion show before officially joining
the team in Auburn in Decem-
ber. Lee feels like appearing on
“Dancing With the Stars” — she
made the semifinals with partner
Sasha Farber — makes her “more
of an exciting person.”
“It just makes it interesting,”
Lee said. “It’s really cool that I’m
getting to do all this at such a
young age. But then I’m scared.
When I get older, what am I
going to do then? Because if I do
everything now, what am I going
to do in the future?
“But I don’t know, it’s really
exciting.”
Lee has also dealt with the
sudden fame that comes with
being an Olympic champion. She
can’t just pop into the grocery
store or have a quiet dinner out.
She even stopped going to Au-
burn basketball games. It’s all
a part of the new normal for a
teenager who isn’t yet fully ac-
customed to the spotlight but
is eager not to ever come off as
standoffish.
“It’s really hard, because even
grabbing food, people come up
to her and are just like, ‘Hold
my baby. Take my picture. Sign
my shoes,” ’ Hubbard said of her
roommate. “I think it’s just over-
whelming. It’s kind of scary when
a bunch of random people are just
all in your business.”
But Graba and Lee’s team-
mates said in the practice gym
and around them she’s just an-
other Auburn gymnast. Dealing
with high expectations is part of
the challenge.
“She’s probably the one who
puts the most pressure on her-
self,” teammate Cassie Stevens
said. “But I think she’s doing a lot
better job handling it, listening
to what we have to say. Like, just
being you is good enough. It’s
great actually.”
But, added Graba: “You don’t
win an Olympic gold medal with-
out having that tough-as-nails
mentality.”
Kansas celebrates with the trophy after its win over North Carolina in
the NCAA Tournament finals Monday in New Orleans. Kansas coach
Bill Self has led the Jayhawks to two of the school’s four titles.

in Monday’s title game — David
McCormack (15 points), Ochai
Agbaji (12), Christian Braun (12)

who remained formed a poised,
veteran group that came into the

Woods also is 46. He would
be the oldest Masters cham-
pion by three weeks over Jack
Nicklaus.
The biggest question is
how he holds up over 18 holes
for four straight days. Woods
walked 18 holes last week — his
first big test — during a scout-
ing trip with 13-year-old son
Charlie (including a stop at the
Par 3 course).
He played the back nine
on Sunday, the front nine on
Monday.
Woods plans nine more
for Wednesday and then it’s
“game time.” He is to tee off
at 10:34 a.m. Thursday with
Louis Oosthuizen and Joaquin
Niemann.
“I can hit it just fine. I don’t
have any qualms about what I
can do physically from a golf
standpoint,” Woods said. “Walk-
ing is the hard part. This is nor-
mally not an easy walk to begin
with. Now given the conditions
that my leg is in, it gets even
more difficult.
“Seventy-two holes is a long
road and it’s going to be a tough
challenge,” he said. “And a chal-
lenge that I’m up for.”

gest reason Woods is even at

turned bad, this group might
have been it. But, boy, things sure
looked bleak for the Jayhawks as
the first half wound down.
Led by a dominating inside
game by Armando Bacot and an
18-2 advantage in second-chance
points, the Tar Heels ran off 16
straight points to take a 16-point
lead. Kansas looked stuck in
cement.
Self used the long halftime
break to calm things down and
early career woes and establish
themselves as everyday players? 
How long will it take for top
prospects Cade Cavalli (starting
pitcher) and Luis Garcia (short-
stop) to push for spots on the
big-league roster? And will the
team once again be a seller at the
deadline, possibly trading away
recently-signed designated hitter
Nelson Cruz or soon-to-be free
agent first baseman Josh Bell?
Of course, every season has
surprises, and an expected re-
build doesn’t preclude manager
Dave Martinez’s club from sur-
prising the league and competing

defending champion Hideki
Matsuyama put on the menu
for the champions-only dinner
Tuesday night.
If he never plays — if he
never wins — Woods said he
is satisfied with what he has
achieved.
“I think 82 is a pretty good
number,” Woods said. “And 15 is
not too bad, either.”
His 15 majors are second
only to Jack Nicklaus and his
18, the gold standard in golf. He

breathe some fire into his players.
He tweaked the defense, getting
DaJuan Harris Jr. to apply more
pressure early to UNC ballhan-
dler R.J. Davis. Kansas clogged
up passing lanes, forced the Tar
Heels into rushed shots and
boxed out. That led to more run-
ning and more fast-break points
(8) and turned a 16-point defi-
cit into a six-point lead with 10
minutes left. When it was over,
Kansas held on and completed
the biggest comeback in title
game history, surpassing Loyola
Chicago’s 15-point rally against
Cincinnati in 1963.
COVID-19 hurt Kansas last
season, too. Some players fell
ill right as tournament time ap-
proached. The Jayhawks went
into Indianapolis as a No. 3 seed
but left after only two games —
the second of those a humbling
34-point blowout loss to USC.
They added Remy Martin, a
transfer from Arizona State, but
the rest of the group stayed the
same. Martin turned into a key
sixth man for the Jayhawks. On
Monday, he found his shooting
touch and scored 11 of his 14
points in the second half.
“They’ve always kept me
going, and they always gave me
confidence,” said Martin, who

all go in the right direction — in
addition to better-than-expected
performances from the team’s
shaky back-end of the rotation

campaign, which was shortened
What else is there to prove?
“I love competing,” Woods
said. “And I feel like if I can still
compete at the highest level,
I’m going to. And if I feel like I
can still win, I’m going to play.”
“I don’t show up to an event
unless I think I can win it. So
that’s the attitude I’ve had,” he
said. “There will be a day when
it won’t happen, and I’ll know
when that is.”
Shortly after he spoke, the
starting times were released.
Woods is helped by being part
of the early-late rotation, mean-
ing he will have some 22 hours
between rounds.
Otherwise, Tuesday was
mostly a wash. Woods wasn’t
planning on anything more than
working on the range, anyway,
and even that worked in his favor.
Heavy storms moved over Au-
gusta about the time he finished
his work, and the course was
closed the rest of the day.
As long as Woods has been
part of Masters lore — Nick-
laus and Arnold Palmer once
predicted he would win more
green jackets than both of them
combined (10) — the reality
is rust from no serious com-
petition and a body that has
endured at least 10 surgeries to
both legs and his back.
But he’s planning to play, and
that feels like enough. For now.
“I think that the fact that I
was able to get myself here to
this point is a success,” Woods
struggled with injuries early in
the year. “And I couldn’t ask for
a better group.”
The other guys, Self said,
simply improved as the season
went on.
Agbaji adds Most Outstanding
Player of the Final Four to his All-
America title. McCormack played
toe to toe with North Carolina’s
double-double machine, Bacot.
The victory won’t completely
erase trouble that could be brew-
ing back in Lawrence. There’s an
NCAA investigation hovering
over this program, and the poten-
tial for serious penalties did not
make this Kansas run any easier.
But for now, time to celebrate.
This fourth national title will
not have any single player’s name
stamped on it, the way the ‘88
championship belongs to Danny
Manning and the Miracles or the
way ‘08 was a product of Mario
Chalmers’ late, game-tying 3.
This one, Self insisted, was
more of a group effort.
“To win when your team had
to fight and come back the way
they did and show that much grit
makes this one off the charts,”
Self said.
He was talking about Monday.
He could’ve been talking about
the last three seasons as well.
due to COVID-19, and a bad
first half of 2021, the Nationals
went into seller mode at last
season’s trade deadline. Gen-
eral manager Mike Rizzo initi-
ated a teardown of the team’s

eight players in exchange for
young prospects. Out went ace

The purge was predictable.
Aside from massive-market
teams like the Dodgers and Yan-
kees, it’s uncommon in today’s
MLB to have an eight-year run
of success like the Nationals did.
From 2012 to 2019, the Nationals
were above .500 in every season,
made the playoffs five times and
won the elusive World Series
in 2019.
But a rebuild is never easy.  COLLEGE BASKETBALL
The successful ones take
about four seasons, while the
failed ones can drag on much
longer. They’re especially hard
on fanbases, as the Orioles and
Pirates have learned in recent
years. But they can also produce
wonderful results after the dark
days, as evidenced by the Hous-
ton Astros’ recent success that

on, ‘How do I get myself into
the position where I’m on that
back nine on Sunday with a
chance?’ Just like I did a few
years ago.”
That was 2019, his fifth
Masters title that followed four
surgeries the previous five
years on his lower back.
“How many comebacks has
he had?” Jordan Spieth asked in
wonderment.
There was the return from
reconstructive knee surgery
after his 2008 U.S. Open victory.
He won seven times worldwide
the following year. There was
a return to No. 1 following the
implosion in his personal life,
and before the back surgeries.
Nothing compares with
this one, mainly because of
the walking involved on a
leg so badly damaged that

a hospital bed before advanc-

compression sleeve and still the

“It’s amazing if you think
about where he was at a year
ago to now,” Spieth said. “I don’t
know how many people — if
anybody — could be out here.
And this is not an easy walk. So
to be out here and not to throw
his age in the mix, but I don’t
think that helps much for that
recovery.

Woods plans to play the Masters 14 months

after devastating crash and thinks he can win
BY DOUG FERGUSON

AUGUSTA, GA. | Two words can
go a long way when Tiger Woods is
behind them.
No one would have been surprised
if Woods never played golf again
after a car crash in Los Angeles that
damaged his right leg so badly he
said doctors raised the prospect of
amputation. Out of the public eye for
nine months, Woods sent hopes soar-
ing last November with a video of him
swinging the club with a simple mes-
sage, “Making progress.”
And here he is at Augusta Na-
tional, making a Monday practice
round feel like Sunday at a major
because of the gallery, walking the
steep slopes, swinging well and
making it clear he has every inten-
tion of playing in the Masters.
Does he think he can win?
Woods offered the shortest an-
swer of his press conference: “I do.”
He said Tuesday he is planning
to play and thinks he can win. Never
mind that it will be 508 days from
the last time he played a tourna-
ment where he had to walk, or that
he returns to this Masters with
screws and rods still holding the
bones in place in his right leg.
