A Joe Biden administration will include Linda Thomas-Greenfield as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, according to various reports.

 

If true, that means goodbye America First global diplomacy; hello social justice.

 

It also means a return to Barack Obama days when America was bowing to foreign heads of states, expressing disgust with the concept of American Exceptionalism and practically begging, practically please, please, pretty please begging other nations not to, say, kidnap our sailors and splash their frightened kidnapped faces on billboards for all the haters of America to see.

 

Thomas-Greenfield is a longtime political player who worked for roughly four years in the State Department as assistant secretary of state for African Affairs, for another four years as an ambassador to Liberia, and most recently, as a member of the Biden transition team. The Donald Trump administration fired her almost immediately in 2017. There’s a reason for that. She’s consummate Washington, D.C., insider — career politician.

 

And she carries a big social justice stick called Diversity At All Costs.

 

In Foreign Affairs magazine’s most recent issue, Thomas-Greenfield co-wrote “The Transformation of Diplomacy: How to Save the State Department,” in which she argued: “In Washington, career public servants who worked on controversial issues during the Obama Administration, such as the Iran nuclear negotiations, have been smeared and attacked, their careers derailed.”

 

The piece, co-authored with William Burns, another career insider, continued: “To start, the United States needs a top-to-bottom diplomatic surge. The Trump administration’s unilateral diplomatic disarmament is a reminder that it is much easier to break than to build. The country doesn’t have the luxury of waiting for a generational replenishment, marking time as new recruits slowly work their way up the ranks.”

 

Nope; what’s needed is a return to the days of behind-the-scenes elitist political operatives, pulling the strings of a government that sells out America to foreign entities — right?

Georgia voters will be able to drop off their absentee ballots for the upcoming Senate runoff election in secure ballot drop boxes, Fox News reports.

 

The Georgia State Election Board, which is chaired by Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, voted on Monday to extend the use of the 24/7 monitored drop boxes through the runoffs. Use of the boxes was scheduled to expire in late December.

 

The decision comes as the number of requests for absentee ballots soars. As of Monday morning, elections officials told Fox News they received 762,000 requests for absentee ballots.

 

The runoff race will determine which party will take control of the Senate. GOP Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue are hoping to retain their seats so the Republicans maintain control of the chamber.

 

Officials also approved a rule that will allow counties to begin processing absentee ballots two weeks ahead of election day. The rule also requires counties to start processing absentee ballots no later than a week and one day ahead of the election.

 

While ballots can be processed, none can be tabulated and counted until the polls close on Jan. 5, in accordance with Georgia law.

 

The deadline to register to vote for the runoff election is Dec. 7. Early in-person voting will begin on Dec. 14.
