During a recent hearing, Biden Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm bent over backwards to defend China, praising them for green energy investments, despite their terrible record on emissions.

She also claimed that America doesn’t have the moral authority to criticize China, despite their known human rights abuses.

Are you starting to get a sense that people on Biden’s team are compromised by China? At a certain point, what else is one to conclude?

Breitbart News reported:

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm Praises China — Again — for Being the Largest ‘Clean Energy’ Investor

Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm doubled down Thursday on her praise of China for being the world’s largest “clean energy” technology investor, despite it also being the world’s largest emitter of CO2.

During a House Appropriations Subcommittee hearing, Chief Deputy Whip Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) grilled Granholm about her comments on March 10, 2023, that “We can all learn from what China is doing” on the environment, and another remark saying that the U.S. did not have the moral authority to criticize China.

Reschenthaler asked Granholm if she was aware at that time that 30 percent of the world’s CO2 emissions came from China. Granholm responded, “Oh, yes.”

She also confirmed she was aware that China “emits more than the U.S., the entire E.U., and Japan combined”; that China brings two coal-fired power plants online per week; that China’s coal-fired plants generate 23 percent more energy than all the energy produced in the U.S. combined; and that the Paris Climate Agreement allows China to increase its emissions through 2030.

Reschenthaler then pressed Granholm, “Knowing that you knew all that when you made the comment, would you like to retract your praise for China?”

Granholm refused to retract her praise. “No, my praise for China was on what they are doing to invest in clean energy, even as they are the world’s largest emitter,” she said, adding, “They invest four times more than the United States.”

Democrats speak more nicely about China than they do about Republicans.

What does that say about them?

Back in February, there were reports that National Public Radio was going to be cutting its workforce due to a drop in ad revenue.

Now that time has come.

NPR has a long history of political bias against the right, so conservatives won’t lose any sleep over this news.

FOX News reports:

NPR hit with massive layoffs, cancels 4 podcasts

National Public Radio was the latest media organization to implement mass layoffs, leading to the cancelation of multiple programs.

NPR itself confirmed Thursday that it had cut 10% of its workforce on Thursday, impacting roughly 100 employees, adding that it tends to roll back the workforce from 1,200 to an estimated 1,050 employees, the “largest reduction in staff since the 2008 recession.”

“We literally are fighting to secure the future of NPR at this very moment by restructuring our cost structure. It’s that important. It’s existential,” NPR chief executive John Lansing told NPR’s media correspondent David Folkenflik.

The liberal outlet also halted several podcasts: “Invisibilia,” “Louder Than a Riot,” “Rough Translation” and “Everyone & Their Mom.” None of its radio shows were canceled.

The cuts come after NPR assessed that ad revenue was set to drop $30 million in 2023.

“Every person on staff cares deeply about public radio’s mission and has worked hard to contribute to it. This is a painful time for everyone in this organization,” an NPR spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement.

According to NPR, most impacted staff will remain on the payroll until the end of April.

Conservatives on Twitter noted that NPR’s situation was predicatble.

Can you believe NPR just laid off 10 percent of its workforce? Who doesn’t want quality reliable information like this? https://t.co/5LdZ0yPnfY

NPR is funded by American taxpayers despite zero scientific evidence of any benefit to society. https://t.co/OHS7nKnrcD

“Limited scientific evidence” that biological men have a physical advantage over biological women.

NPR is beyond flaming garbage at this point. There’s ZERO evidence that NPR is a news organization. https://t.co/wBb28qKTBL

Maybe rich Hollywood liberals can step up and fund NPR on their own.
