With mounting desperation, Donald Trump declared he would “fight like hell” to hold on to the United States presidency and appealed to Republican lawmakers to reverse his election loss to Joe Biden when they convene this week to confirm the Electoral College vote.

Electoral voters won by US President-elect Biden are “not gonna take this White House!” he shouted as supporters cheered at an outdoor rally on Monday night, local time, in Georgia. Trump's announced purpose for the trip was to boost Republican Senate candidates in Tuesday's runoff election, but he spent much of his speech complaining bitterly about his election loss – which he insists he won “by a lot”.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with Captive Nations Coalition, part of the Committee on Present Danger: China. The Captive Nations Coalition is made up of individuals from communities that are and have been taken over by the CCP, like Southern Mongolia, East Turkestan, Tibet, and really all of China as well—Hong Kong and even Falun Gong practitioners.

AIPEI/BEIJING (Reuters) -Two U.S. warships sailed through the sensitive Taiwan Strait on Thursday drawing protest from Beijing, the second such mission this month and coming almost two weeks after a Chinese aircraft carrier group used the same waterway.

China, which claims democratically run Taiwan as its own territory, has been angered by stepped-up U.S. support for the island, including arms sales and sailing warships through the Taiwan Strait, further souring Beijing-Washington relations.
