Our climate plans are ambitious," Biden said. "But we are America. We are unwavering in our commitment to innovation."
On his first day in office last week, Biden had the United States re-enter the Paris accord. He also cancelled the permit for the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. That was earlier with promises as he got into the office.
A year later, The U.S. has appealed to members of OPEC to step up production and exports to cover demand, including Saudi Arabia in particular.
In other word, we need the Opec Countries, and the oil producers to dance the way Biden needs to keep the office. Hard to do. Just a thought.

We need to do more and the United States will do more," Biden told reporters, adding that "aid flowing to Gaza is nowhere nearly enough."
The development comes a day after the deaths of Palestinians queuing for aid threw a spotlight on an unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in the crowded coastal enclave.
Other countries, including Jordan and France, have already carried out airdrops of aid into Gaza. \
On the other hand Netanyahu said he is close to winning the war ........................................ starving the civilians !!!

Corrosive..
The NYTimes piece opened with a disturbing scene, a video that captured a woman, Gal Abdush, “lying on her back, dress torn, legs spread, vagina exposed.” The authors stated, “based largely on video evidence,” that unnamed Israeli “police officials said they believed” Abdush had been raped.
When key elements of the story are not supported with transparent and unimpeachable evidence, or when a reporter publicly engages in inappropriate behavior on social media, it can damage a news organization’s vital credibility.

Biden invites Trump to work together to lobby Congress on an immigration bill as both candidates visit border.
The president also criticized congressional Republicans, saying they needed to “show a little spine” and take up a bipartisan border agreement in the Senate.
Earlier-Over his first 100 days, Biden signed 42 executive orders, more than any of his predecessors since Harry Truman. Many of these executive orders were reversals to Donald Trump's policies.
Then he tried to reverse his reversal. Just a thought.
Shuttle..
China is making a new push to end the Russia-Ukraine war by launching new shuttle diplomacy.
The new effort to mediate the ongoing conflict in Ukraine involves China's special envoy for Eurasian affairs, Li Hui, embarking on a "shuttle diplomacy tour" aimed at fostering a peaceful resolution.
"China stands ready to continue to play its role and contribute China's wisdom to seeking a political settlement of the Ukraine crisis."
China hasn't officially backed Russia's war in Ukraine, but Beijing has provided financial assistance to Moscow as the war drags on.
China has endeavored to present itself as a neutral party seeking peace, despite facing criticism for its close relationship with Moscow and its refusal to denounce Russia's military actions. The European Union has explicitly cautioned China against supporting Russia's war efforts or contravening sanctions.
Hope the US do the same. Just a thought.
