Levin: If relevant law applied to Trump, 'Bill Clinton would be doing 50 years with his wife' . . . Mark Levin sounds off on 'Hannity' after Trump speaks at his New Jersey golf club.

President Trump's indictment cites the Espionage Act of 1917 when it should cite the Presidential Records Act of 1978, given precedent set by an Obama-appointed judge adjudicating a records case involving former President Bill Clinton, a top former Reagan official said Tuesday. Mark Levin, host of "Life, Liberty & Levin" – who served as chief of staff to Attorney General Ed Meese – told Fox News that the so-called Clinton Socks case of 2010 is very relevant to Trump's situation but is left out of legal discussions.

U.S. Grapples With Potential Threats From Chinese AI . . . The Biden administration is grappling with how to identify artificial intelligence that poses a threat to national security, a central challenge as the U.S. moves to curb investment in advanced technology companies in China. Biden administration officials have been preparing a new executive order for months that will restrict U.S. investment into some geopolitical rivals, namely China. Their goal is to prevent U.S. private equity and venture capital from contributing to China’s development of cutting-edge technology that could aid Beijing’s military. Wall Street Journal

A bungled response to reports of a China spy station in Cuba signifies Biden’s failed Beijing policy . . . Secretary of State Antony Blinken must cancel his trip to Beijing. Diplomacy doesn't work unless it's backed up with some serious combat power. Bumbling deceitfulness and pussyfooting with China so as not to derail diplomacy only shows Biden and his team are simply incapable of protecting America from its top security threat, Communist China.

Chinese military had deep ties to Wuhan lab suspected of COVID-19 outbreak, cables show . . . Newly-unearthed State Department cables show the United States government’s early concerns about the deep ties and research collaboration between a Wuhan lab and the Chinese military amid the search for COVID-19’s origins. The heavily-redacted cables, which warned about the connections between the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) in the summer of 2020, were obtained by U.S. Right to Know through the Freedom of Information Act, and appear to be based upon information analyzed by the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), which is essentially the U.S.’s unofficial embassy in Taiwan. The three cables seem to have originally been classified “SECRET” but had that crossed out and replaced with “Sensitive” instead. The cables touch on the Chinese Communist Party’s military-civil fusion (MCF) program pushed by Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Washington Examiner

China making 'science fiction' super warship, report claims: 'Big step forward' . . . China has revealed plans to develop a futuristic warship that would include breakthrough technologies that would bring "science fiction to the real world," according to a report. "It will completely overturn the combat formation of naval fleets that has been in place for over a hundred years," People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy Rear Adm. Ma Weiming said in a peer-reviewed paper, the South Morning China Post reported.

The Chinese supership would look to adopt new technology such as rail guns, rocket launchers, laser weapons and high-powered microwaves. The technology would "cleverly and effectively transform the energy from the ship’s power source — nuclear energy — into the electromagnetic energy needed to power" the weapons, Ma wrote. Fox News

An Unwinnable War - Washington Needs an Endgame in Ukraine . . .  It is now time that the United States develop a vision for how the war ends. Fifteen months of fighting has made clear that neither side has the capacity—even with external help—to achieve a decisive military victory over the other. Regardless of how much territory Ukrainian forces can liberate, Russia will maintain the capability to pose a permanent threat to Ukraine. The Ukrainian military will also have the capacity to hold at risk any areas of the country occupied by Russian forces—and to impose costs on military and civilian targets within Russia itself.

Growing Nuclear Arsenals . . . Amid the war in Ukraine and intensifying geopolitical competition, the world’s nuclear powers are scaling up and modernizing their arsenals. The countries with the most nuclear warheads deployed are the United States and Russia. Together, they possess close to 90 percent of all nukes. In 2022, Russia deployed an additional 86 nuclear warheads, bringing its total to 1,674. The U.S. added 26 – a reversal of its longstanding downward trend – giving it a total of 1,770 deployed warheads. However, China is trying to catch up. Its nuclear arsenal grew to 410 from 350 last year, and according to SIPRI, it may catch up with the Russians and Americans by the end of the decade. Geopolitical Futures

'Real' meat maker Cargill may emerge big winner in plant-based food as buzzy startup boom fades . . . The plant-based protein boom has stalled, with buzzy startups humbled and food giants retreating, but Cargill forecasts 70% more protein consumption over the next 25 to 30 years. "That protein has to come from somewhere," says its chief technology officer and head of R&D, Florian Schattenmann. Cargill is hardly a household name among consumers — even though it's the largest privately held company in the U.S., with $165 billion in revenue in its fiscal year 2022. The 158-year-old Minneapolis-based agribusiness giant produces a slew of branded and private-label meats and food ingredients and offers a wide range of agriculture-related products and services.

China wants to militarize AI and Big Tech firms might not even be on our side . . . Big Tech companies set aside American values to profit off projects with China. Circa 1996, U.S. lawmakers wanted to make sure scrappy startups, like AOL and Amazon, had a fighting chance against incumbents. Our government had a straightforward approach: rubberstamp mergers and free tech from any regulatory oversight. These policy approaches were intended to level the playing field for the nascent tech industry and export our values abroad. And it worked! But only in part. Our tech policies of yore have turned those startups into the world’s first set of trillion-dollar companies. But Big Tech failed to export our values — and has even been counterproductive on that end.  Fox News

Green energy Democrats took donations from head of China-linked group pushing gas stoves ban . . .

Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Ro Khanna (D-CA), Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), and Adam Schiff (D-CA), among other Democrats, voted "nay" on Tuesday and Wednesday on the Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act and Save Our Gas Stoves Act. The cohort, and other congressional Democrats prioritizing green programs, have been boosted to the tune of almost $23,000 by Hal Harvey, founder and president of Climate Imperative, a nonprofit group with ties to China that has doled out large grants to activists behind expansive electrification policies, according to campaign finance disclosures.

Dodgers honor anti-Catholic drag 'nuns' more than an hour before first pitch inside nearly empty stadium . . . More than an hour before the Dodgers game started on Friday night, there was a strong police presence inside and outside the stadium. The response from law enforcement came after several weeks of outrage leading up to the team's 10th annual Pride Night at Dodger Stadium. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence receive a Community Hero Award well before the first pitch of the game was thrown, and long before most of the fans made it to their seats. The people who did make it inside the stadium in time to witness the pre-game ceremony seemed to have a mixed reaction to the satirical LGBTQ+. Fox News

No One Voted for Administrative Rule Constraining Every Aspect of Our Lives . . .

Trump campaign gets ‘ballsy’ as Ron DeSantis hits up lamb testicle event . . . This takes “below the belt” to a whole new low.

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign questioned Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ manhood Friday as the 2024 Republican contender was set to attend a Nevada event known for serving stewed and fried lamb testicles. 

“Not surprised Ron DeSantis is looking for a set of balls,” Chris LaCivita, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign, told NBC News when asked for a reaction to DeSantis attending Saturday’s Basque Fry in Gardnerville, which draws thousands of Republicans and conservatives from around the Silver State. “The Trump team’s obsession with men’s genitalia is more perverted than a woke grooming book,” shot back Erin Perrine, a spokeswoman for the pro-DeSantis super PAC Never Back Down.
