Threat..

 

This is a threat to the world. Hillary was in the midst of the destruction of Libya since then. 

Just a thought.

Jill..

 

We are, most likely, started the whole World Wide problem in the region. And as usual, blame others for being dictator. Same game we play time and time again.

This time, the oil prices and the Economic devastation of poor people around the globe will be achieved very soon. We have been paying the Ukraine governoment for years just because we love them very much. Just a thought.

Dems..

 

As an exhausted nation continues to grapple with the coronavirus, Democrats are facing growing public pressure to move on to the pandemic’s next phase even as high case rates, hospitalizations, and death rates persist.

This week, several Democratic governors responded by rolling back their state’s mask mandates.

Leaders in New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, and Oregon announced changes to such policies in schools, while those in New York, Illinois, Nevada, and California did the same for indoor mask requirements.

Republicans are already using the issue to go on the offense against Democrats, calling it hypocritical.

“The science never changed. The science didn’t matter,” said Joanna Rodriguez, deputy communications director at the Republican Governor’s Association. “The science was an excuse they used in order to control people’s lives and rule people in a way that they felt was appropriate while they played by their own rules.”   Just a thou8ght.

Charged..

 

Former New York City police union president Ed Mullins was charged with fraud on Wednesday, accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the union and spending it on a "lavish lifestyle."

The charge against Mullins comes following a raid last year on his home and union office. He resigned in October as head of the Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA) and retired from the NYPD in November following the raids.

"As alleged, Edward Mullins, the former President of the SBA, abused his position of trust and authority to fund a lavish lifestyle that was paid for by the monthly dues of the thousands of hard-working Sergeants of the NYPD," said U.S. Attorney Damian Williams.

The prosecutor's office said Wednesday that Mullins was reimbursed more than a million dollars over the years through his expense reports, much of which was "fraudulently obtained." Can anyone do this nowadays?   Just a strange thought.

Bankrupt..

 

Growing up in Queens, New York, Kenny Anderson was a star on the court from an early age. In a 1994 profile of Anderson, Sports Illustrated reported recruiters went to watch him play when he was in sixth grade.

After 14 years in the NBA, he’d earned just over $63 million. And he enjoyed spending that cash. At one point, he owned 11 cars and spent large amounts of money on champagne, cigars and partying.

“I lived a fast life,” he told The Undefeated in 2019, “and enjoyed every bit of it.”

But with expenses for seven children, child support ate up another huge chunk of his budget. By 2005, he had filed for bankruptcy.

Fortunately, he rebounded with a second career as a basketball coach and is now head coach.

Gas..

Neither Qatar nor any other single country has the capacity to replace Russian gas supplies to Europe with liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the event of disruption due to a conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Qatar's energy minister said on Tuesday.

With most of Qatari volumes are locked into long-term contracts mostly to Asian buyers, the amount of divertable volumes that can be shipped to Europe is only 10-15%, Saad al-Kaabi Minister of Energy of Qatar added.

Kaabi's comments renewed concerns over Europe's security of gas supplies as tensions escalated between Russia and Ukraine.

"Russia provides 30-40% of the supply to Europe. There is no single country that can replace that kind of volume.

The United States and its European allies are set to announce fresh sanctions against Russia after President Vladimir Putin formally recognized the independence of the two regions in eastern Ukraine. The sanctions could affect the Russian flow of gas into Europe so it is punishment for the Uropeans and the Americans with double the prices that was just doubled last year. Good going.

 

Price..

 

House Republican lawmakers championed the measures when introduced in 2021. The bills received almost unanimous support in both legislative chambers.

The three bill's signed Wednesday establish new rules for contracts between pharmacies and pharmacy benefit managers. These contracts cannot include provisions that would prevent a pharmacist from disclosing if a different medication, like a generic, would be cheaper for a customer. 

Patients can't be forced to pay a co-pay that's more expensive than the medication received under changes in the bills. The legislation also requires benefit managers to be licensed with the state and to submit annual "transparency reports." Benefit managers are barred from using spread pricing, a tactic smaller pharmacies typically oppose that allows managers to recoup additional fees.

Whitmer signs bills into Michigan law to cut prescription costs, increase accountability.  Can Biden's administration do this for poor people.

Just a thought.

Selective..

 Two prosecutors leading the Manhattan district attorney's investigation into the Trump Organization abruptly resigned on Wednesday, The New York Times reported.

The resignations from the two prosecutors, Carey Dunne and Mark Pomerantz, reportedly came after the new district attorney, Alvin Bragg, expressed doubts about moving forward with a case against former President Donald Trump.

Pomerantz confirmed his resignation to The Times. The paper reported that the investigation into Trump has stalled amid Bragg's hesitation to pursue charges against Trump, and that neither Pomerantz nor Dunne had questioned any witnesses before a grand jury in more than a month.

It also comes after lawyers for Trump and Weisselberg asked a judge to dismiss the DA's case against the Trump Organization and its CFO, citing "selective" and politically motivated prosecution. No investigation to the Nursing home Deaths.

Just a thought.
