US Lawmakers Call on Twitter to Bar Chinese Communist Party Accounts Over Virus Disinformation
Two Republican lawmakers are urging Twitter to ban Chinese Communist Party officials from its platform in response to the regime’s aggressive propaganda campaign to “whitewash” its coverup of the outbreak. “While the coronavirus pandemic is afflicting families, governments, and markets around the world, the Chinese Communist Party is waging a massive propaganda campaign to rewrite the history of COVID-19 and whitewash the Party’s lies,” wrote Sen. Ben Sasse (R- Neb.) and Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) in a March 20 letter to Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey. Twitter is censored in China, but dozens of Chinese diplomats, embassies, and consulates are active on the platform, pushing state-sanctioned narratives about the outbreak.

Carpaccio is a dish of meat or fish, sliced or pounded thin, served raw, usually as an appetizer. Veal carpaccio, for example, is typically topped with arugula, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice, and served with shaved Parmigiano Reggiano.
When using artichokes as a main ingredient instead, you have to choose the freshest and youngest ones you can find. Shave them thinly and dress them with your best extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Some shaved Parmigiano Reggiano or Tuscan pecorino will round out the dish.
This is a fresh, lemony appetizer that exalts the flavor of artichokes. Have some bread ready to mop up the olive oil left at the bottom of the plate.
Serves 4
- 4 artichokes
- 1 lemon, halved
- Extra virgin olive oil
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Parmigiano Reggiano
Clean the artichokes, removing the tough outer layers and stems. Rub the artichoke hearts with half of a lemon, then cut them in half and use a small spoon to remove the chokes. Thinly slice the artichoke hearts and arrange them onto a plate.
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Finish with some shaved Parmigiano Reggiano.
Let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.聽

The CCP Virus—A Pandemic of Lies and Deceit
Commentary The European Union, the United States and China are the world’s largest trading partners. And yet, evidently, China is not trusted by any of its trading partners in the Group of 7 nations (G7) enough to be included in critical discussions dedicated to coordinating efforts to battle the pandemic. The World Can’t Trust China The G7 nations are a diverse group, which includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain, the United States and the European Union. Alienating all of them at once in the midst of a global pandemic takes some serious focus and determination. And yet China owns that dubious accomplishment. Its exclusion from this prestigious group of nations is serious and telling. No one in the world trusts them. And it’s not about political orientation, either—the UK…
