A round of applause, please,for The Washington Times’ own Bill Gertz — whose work has been recognized on a global scale. Mr. Gertz was named on a new list titled “The 20 Best Communism Books of All Time,” just issued by BookAuthority.com, a notable source for such judgments.
The honored book that he authored is titled “Deceiving the Sky: Inside Communist China’s Drive for Global Supremacy,” published in 2019 by Encounter Books. It is meticulous, intriguing and sobering.
“The United States’ approach to China since the Communist regime in Beijing began the period of reform and opening in the 1980s was based on a promise that trade and engagement with China would result in a peaceful, democratic state. Forty years later the hope of producing a benign People’s Republic of China utterly failed,” the publisher noted in advance notes for the book.
Mr. Gertz, by the way, is the author of 11 books and is the national security correspondent and “Inside the Ring” columnist for The Washington Times. Find him at GertzFile.com.
LAUREN BOEBERT’S INNOVATION
Rep. Lauren Boebert, Colorado Republican, is setting a handy example for fellow lawmakers by offering “mobile office hours” for her constituents in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District — a very large area.
“Even with three physical locations for permanent District offices, it is still quite a long drive for some folks to get the help they need. To alleviate this concern, our office has hosted mobile office hours in every county in the District. The mobile office hours are held at a casual desk set up for walk-in appointments at local libraries, town halls, coffee shops, community centers, and other public locations,” noted a written statement to Inside the Beltway, courtesy of Ms. Boebert’s office in the nation’s capital.
And the stats: Ms. Boebert’s office has devoted 188 “mobile” office hours in every county in her District, assisted 1,897 people, and returned over $2,491,582.
