President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing on Wednesday morning, receiving a red carpet welcome as he departed Air Force One in the company of top administration officials and American business executives. Trump’s visit to Beijing is the first by an American president in nine years. The previous presidential visitor was also Trump, during his first term in 2017. In addition to a full military honor guard and band, the reception ceremony featured about three hundred Chinese students waving Chinese Communist and American flags while chanting “Welcome!” in Mandarin. Trump responded with his characteristic fist pump gesture. Vice President JD Vance holds a press conference to update the public on work by the Trump administration to crack down on fraud on Wednesday, May 13. President Donald Trump announced a “War on Fraud” during his State of the Union address in February and named Vance as the head of a new task force to carry it out. The vice president has led the task force to find and bust fraud across multiple agencies since it was formalized in March, as Breitbart News reported: “The Vice President has brought the entire Trump administration together to root out fraud and return hard-earned tax dollars to the American people – where it belongs,” a Vance spokesperson told Breitbart News. “The task force continues to gain momentum every single day, and it’s working tirelessly to deliver results on the President’s War on Fraud.” Pressure is mounting on the House of Representatives to pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, which would prohibit institutional investors from buying single family American homes. President Donald Trump called for the passage of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act in a Truth Social post on Monday: As I said at my State of the Union Address on February 25th, the American Dream of Homeownership is under attack. For example, Rachel Wiggins, a mom of two, from Houston, placed bids on 20 homes, and lost all of those bids to gigantic Investment Firms that bypassed inspection, paid all cash, and turned those houses into rentals, stealing away her American Dream — She was devastated! Stories like this are why I signed an Executive Order to ban large Wall Street Investment Firms from buying up single-family homes. Also, in my speech, I called for Congress to save the American Dream of Homeownership, and ban these purchases, PERMANENTLY! ...homes are for people, not Corporations. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has launched an investigation of more than 120 biological laboratories overseas that have received U.S. tax dollars for decades. Gabbard told the New York Post on Monday that her team is going to “identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain and what ‘research’ is being conducted to end dangerous gain-of-function research that threatens the health and wellbeing of the American people and the world.” “The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the catastrophic global impact research on dangerous pathogens in biolabs can have,” Gabbard said. “Yet despite these obvious dangers, politicians, so-called health professionals, like Dr. Fauci, and entities within the Biden administration’s national security team lied to the American people about the existence of these US-funded and supported biolabs and threatened those who attempted to expose the truth.” In May of 2024, the National Institute of Health Principal Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak admitted to Congress that tax dollars funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, making viruses 10,000 times more infectious. According to officials within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the laboratories under review are spread across more than 30 countries. The report said that more than 40 of the facilities being reviewed are located in Ukraine. Intelligence officials cited concerns that laboratories in active conflict zones could face risks of compromise or disruption due to the war in the country. ...a quagmire that prevents Americans from knowing whether potentially dangerous experiments are being conducted on their dime without their consent. Hegseth said the Trump administration is righting the wrongs of the Biden administration. “The prior administration bankrolled dangerous Gain-of-Function research and foreign biolabs with American tax dollars, then deliberately hid it from the American people,” Hegseth said. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/05/tulsi-gabbard-launches-investigation-120-us-funded-biolabs/
