The Biden administration appears to be trying to check off as many diversity boxes as they can. Especially after Sens. Tammy Duckworth and Mazie Hirono threatened to block any of the president’s nominees until he appoint Asian American and Pacific Islanders to more senior roles in the White House.
AAPI groups have also demanded more representation in Washington. A reporter pressed White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki about those demands at Tuesday’s press conference. Psaki said she spoke with Sen. Duckworth and committed to naming a “high level” Asian-American to a position at the White House. That individual will be a commissioned offer and working on policy and outreach. Psaki said she’ll reveal the name in the coming days.
Pradheep J. Shanker, a radiologist who focuses on health policy and often contributes to conservative outlets, was outraged by the obvious “token” hiring by the administration.
“Aren’t we Asian Americans better than a community than this?” he asked. He called the Biden administration’s actions “pure racism and bigotry.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
