LNG..

 

The EU will not attempt to fully ban Russian liquefied natural gas purchases in its latest sanctions package, two EU diplomats told POLITICO, defying pressure to outlaw imports of the supercooled fuel.

The European Commission is set to formally present its 16th sanctions package against Russia to EU capitals on Wednesday, according to the two diplomats, who were granted anonymity to speak freely.

The proposal will not include a blanket prohibition of LNG imports, as EU hawks have been urging. Instead, it would only stop Russian LNG from going to EU terminals not connected to the EU’s gas system — a restriction that won’t affect the majority of LNG imports.

Comment:

It seems that as the Biden team is gone, who canceled Nord Stream 2, and was ok with destruction of Nord stream 1, and the inflated prices of oil and natural gas, the EU is looking into their economic prosperity, low inflation and proper energy supplies.  Just a thought.

Ruckus..

 

Social media erupted Tuesday with users shocked and upset with CNN's decision to let anchor Jim Acosta go , while keeping conservative commentator Scott Jennings.

The ruckus started after Acosta announced on-air Tuesday morning that he was leaving the network after 18 years.  

"You may have seen some reports about me and this show. And after giving all of this some careful consideration and weighing an alternative time slot CNN offered me, I have decided to move on,” Acosta said.

He continued, “I have always believed it’s the job of the press to hold power to account. I have always tried to do that here at CNN. I plan on doing all of that in the future. 

One final message: Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth. And to hope, even if you have to get out your phone, record that message. I will not give in to the lies. I will not give in to the fear.

Deception..

 

Two former Politico reporters, Marc Caputo and Tara Palmeri, claimed there was a significant bias in the media towards protecting Joe Biden prior to the 2020 presidential election .

The reporters said Politico deliberately avoided or suppressed negative stories concerning the former president and his son, Hunter Biden , Knewz.com can reveal.

Caputo told the host of the Axios podcast : “Politico did that terrible, ill-fated headline: ’51 intelligence agents, or former intelligence agents, say that the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation.’

“Turns out that the Hunter Biden laptop story appeared to be true.”

The former Politico reporter told his editor the outlet needed to “write about the Hunter Biden laptop” but was instructed, per orders from “on high” at the outlet.

Kiddo..

 

Earlier, President Biden was asked "How can we trust that you're going to act on the climate crisis if you're still attending fundraisers that fossil fuel executives like Andy Goldman are at," asked a climate activist during a campaign event in New Castle, New Hampshire. 

Biden approached the young woman that questioned him and responded with a commitment to end fossil fuel.

"Kiddo, I want you to just take a look," Biden said. "You don't have to agree, but I want you to look in my eyes. I guarantee you, I guarantee you we're going to end fossil fuel and I am not going to cooperate with them. Before 2050, God willing."

Bryan Kohberger's defense wants investigative genetic genealogy evidence suppressed. Their arguments, however, did not appear to move the judge.

 "I struggle with the idea that DNA left at a crime scene, that there's any expectation of privacy," Judge Steven Hippler .

The cellphone records certainly make him look bad, although the fact that the phone was turned off at the time of the murders helps him," said Andrew Stoltmann, a Chicago attorney who has been following the case. "But I think the DNA sinks his Bismarck."

The defense argued that investigators improperly obtained Kohberger's Amazon history without a warrant. 

Prosecutors countered that a business record with a third party is not protected by an expectation of privacy.
