Sec of Treasury Yellen Literally Genuflects to Commie China VP
2023-07-10
From the Daily Mail - no similar article in the NYT or Wapo
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was slammed for bowing multiple times when she met with China's vice premier He Lifeng, as some critics say the protocol error is a sign of American weakness.

Yellen, who served as chair of the Federal Reserve before becoming Joe Biden's top financial official, wrapped up her first visit to China as treasury secretary on Sunday.

Moments after bowing at least three times, Yellen then stumbled over He's name, calling him 'Vice Premier Hu.'

#6  As for Janet, she's a good girl. She knows which side of the bread is buttered. She'll do as she's told.

#5  Old Joe Is Completely Lost: King Charles Visibly Frustrated, Has Trouble Urging Joe Biden to Move On During Honor Guard Inspection (VIDEO)

Video at link. Biden is indeed wearing that blank and lost expression on his face and doesn't seem to realize that he's supposed to keep moving. I can't tell if Charles is all that frustrated or just mildly amused. If you watch the video you'll see Joe putting his hand on Charles' back. Elizabeth would have smacked him for that.

#1  Good thing we sent the Treasury Secretary and not the Vice President. Lord knows what she would have done.
