WASHINGTON, Sept 19 (Reuters) – As the UAW strike enters its fifth day, the Biden administration is hobbled by a lack of legal authority to steer the talks and difficulty in figuring out UAW President Shawn Fain’s negotiating strategy and leadership style, three sources said.
Sidelined on UAW strikes, Biden White House talks economic aid
Last night’s announcement by UAW President Shawn Fain that the union would initially only strike at three non-strategic plants has confused many in the labor movement.

You are being addressed by Derzhava, a Ukrainian Political Party banned by the neo-Nazi government of Zelensky.

The Phony War on American Culture
Consider how gender is one focus of their culture war campaign. Transgender people hardly affect our personal lives, despite the Republican campaigns to make it a voting issue. In America, only 1.3 million adults and 300,000 children identify as transgender out of a population of 332 million. Only 36 transgender athletes compete in college sports that include over half a million participants. Yet the Republican legislature in Kansas recently banned transgender girls from female high school sports, despite having only three transgender girls out of 41,00 competing in the state. Indeed, they should be respected and accommodated in some way. Yet, GOP legislators are considering a flood of bills to restrict transgender behavior, flooding email boxes with requests for donations, blasting isolated events on Fox News, and making them campaign issues.
