U.S. Sold Nearly 6 Million Barrels of Oil From the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China, Records Show | 27 July 2022 | The Biden administration has sold nearly 6 million barrels of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to an entity tied to the Chinese Communist Party, records show. From September 2021 to July, the Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded three crude oil contracts with a combined value of roughly 464 million to Unipec America, the U.S. trading arm of Chinese state-owned oil company Sinopec, according to a review by The Epoch Times of the DOE documents. A Chinese firm with ties to Hunter Biden had invested in the national oil giant. The sale would tap 5.9 million barrels in total from the strategic reserve (SPR) to export to the Chinese firm. The latest contract, revealed on July 10, was for 950,000 barrels sold for around 113.5 million.
 
House Democrats Block Vote to Ban Strategic Oil Sales to China | 21 July 2022 | In a vote on Wednesday afternoon, House Democrats shot down a GOP-led amendment that would ban the Biden administration and U.S. Department of Energy from selling oil kept in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to one of our nation’s biggest foes, China. 219 House Democrats voted to block the bill from going forward as gas prices remain more than $2 more expensive per gallon than when Joe Biden took office, signaling again that Democrats are all-in on their radical “transition” aimed at ending fossil fuels no matter the cost to Americans. Rep. David Valadao, a Republican from California, spoke on the House floor in support of the GOP amendment… “What is even more concerning is that under the Biden administration, our Strategic Petroleum Reserve supplies have been severely diminished,” the GOP congressman said. “It does not make sense to me that we are using our already-depleted energy supplies to help China build up its own strategic reserves.
 
Biden State Department Official Seemingly Deletes Twitter Account After Saying ‘I Prefer High Gas Prices’ | 25 July 2022 | A Biden administration State Department official who tweeted his support for “high gas prices” has seemingly deleted his Twitter account after receiving online backlash. “I prefer high gas prices = less driving, less CO2,” State Department official Alan Eyre tweeted on Friday.Eyre said this in response to President Joe Biden’s claim “America’s drivers will spend on average 30 less per month on gas than they did during peak prices.” The State Department official faced backlash online from Twitter users, including from one former Republican congressional candidate, Ron Bassilian, who called Eyre a “ghoul” and argued “gas demand is inelastic.

Trudeau Moves Forward with Plan to Reduce Fertilizer Use and Bankrupt Farmers During Global Food Shortage Emergency | 23 July 2022 | The Canadian tyrant Justin Trudeau is moving forward with his plan to reduce Canadian fertilizer use and bankrupt farmers. This will bankrupt farmers, their land will be scooped up by international billionaires and the global food shortage will deepen. You’ll be eating bugs before you know it whether you want to or not! As per a Government of Saskatchewan news release, both the Alberta and Saskatchewan Ministers of Agriculture have expressed “profound disappointment” in Trudeau’s decision to attempt to reduce nitrogen emissions from fertilizer. “We’re really concerned with this arbitrary goal,” Saskatchewan Minister of Agriculture David Marit said. “The Trudeau government has apparently moved on from their attack on the oil and gas industry and set their sights on Saskatchewan farmers.
 
Member of European Parliament Labels COVID Vaccine Coercion ‘Worst Crime Ever Committed on Humanity’ | 27 July 2022 | In a speech in the European Parliament earlier this month, German MP Christine Anderson described the coercion of people into taking COVID vaccines as the “biggest crime ever committed on humanity.” “This vaccine campaign will go down as the biggest scandal in medical history,” Anderson declared, adding, “Moreover, it will be known as the biggest crime ever committed on humanity.” The MEP was addressing mass flight cancellations and staff shortages in airports and on planes, asserting that while it is claimed the situation stems from companies not hiring back enough staff after the pandemic, the real reason is that pilots and other staff have refused to get vaccinated. Anderson further warned “unscrupulous globalist elites” have used the pandemic for their own ends, asking, “What in God’s name have they done with this?
 
Dr. Deborah Birx says she ‘knew’ COVID vaccines would not ‘protect against infection’ –The former White House COVID response coordinator downplays vaccine efficacy | 22 July 2022 | Former White House COVID response coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx said she “knew” that COVID-19 vaccines “were not going to protect against infection” Friday on “Your World.” DR. BIRX: I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection. And I think we overplayed the vaccines, and it made people then worry that it’s not going to protect against severe disease and hospitalization. It will. But let’s be very clear: 50% of the people who died from the Omicron surge were older, vaccinated. So that’s why I’m saying even if you’re vaccinated and boosted, if you’re unvaccinated right now, the key is testing and Paxlovid. It’s effective. It’s a great antiviral… [Odd how Birx remained *silent* when the COVID totalitarians were mandating these useless experimental clot shots.]
 
CDC Says It Performed Vaccine Safety Data Mining After Saying It Didn’t | 24 July 2022 | The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is saying it has performed vaccine safety data mining and analyses since early 2021, a reversal from a recent letter. The CDC said in an operating procedures document dated Jan. 29, 2021, that it “will perform” a type of data mining analysis of vaccine safety data called Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR). The public health agency also said it would conduct routine surveillance of the data, which is being logged into the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. The data mining and surveillance were aimed at detecting adverse events occurring at higher-than-expected rates.
 
NYC Mayor Fires Another 200 City Workers Over COVID Jab | 24 July 2022 | New York City Mayor Eric Adams’s office revealed on Saturday that city officials fired more than 200 additional city employees for refusing to get vaccinated for COVID — bringing the total number of firings up to 1,752 workers. The mayor’s office told the New York Post those numbers reflect as of July 13. Six months ago, Adams laid off over 1,500 government employees who refused to comply with the city’s vaccine mandate Feb 11 deadline… Just after Adams terminated the unvaxxed city staff, he faced backlash from police and fire associations. NBC New York reported Andrew Ansbro, president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association of Greater New York, who once estimated up to 500 firefighters would face the risk of termination due to their refusal to comply with the mandate, called out the mayor for exempting New York City-based professional athletes and performers from the citywide mandate.

Until then, the DOJ has focused its investigation on Trump’s lawyers, John Eastman and Rudy Giuliani.

That’s up from 13 co-signers on a similar letter Jackson led in June 2021, and 37 co-signers on a letter in February. The latest letter also includes key members of House Republican leadership, including Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks, R-Ind., Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., and Conference Vice Chair Mike Johnson, R-La.
 
Liz Cheney facing huge deficit in U.S. House race according to latest poll | 25 July 2022 | With just over three weeks until Wyoming’s Primary Election Day on August 16, challenger Harriet Hageman has a huge lead on three-term incumbent Liz Cheney in the race for Wyoming’s lone U.S. House seat, according to a recent poll in the Casper Star-Tribune. “I can’t remember the last time I saw an incumbent down 22 points in a House Race, unless it was somebody who had been indicted or convicted of a crime,” said Brad Coker, managing director of Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy, the firm that conducted the poll. While Cheney isn’t on trial, she is kind of involved in one as one of the members of the committee investigating [sic] the attacks on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and that’s likely the reason for her deficit. The more eye-popping number is Cheney’s approval rating, with more than 2 to 1 saying she’s done a poor job. “Her approval rating is only 27 percent approve, 66 percent disapprove,” Coker said. “That number is devastating”

Lemoine was placed on leave on June 6 for talking with people outside Google about the company’s AI chatbot LaMDA, or Language Model for Dialog Applications. The system is used to create chatbots that can mimic human speech. Lemoine had been working on the system since last fall and described it as sentient with an ability to express thoughts and feelings equivalent to a human child.
 
Eight years? Nine years? Six years ago? A climate change activist guide to doomsday –The end is going to come soon, unless it doesn’t| 26 July 2022 | Advocates of combating climate change are increasingly invoking doomsday scenarios to pressure Joe Biden to take unilateral action to lower greenhouse gas emissions, despite a history of such claims falling flat. The rhetoric is coming not only from progressive activists but also Democrats on Capitol Hill. Lawmakers, in particular, have intensified their doomsday predictions as hopes for a climate change deal have waned within the Senate in recent days. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., recently told supporters that if immediate action was not taken on climate change, an immigration and public health crisis was likely to appear by 2030. [Right, just in time to implement Agenda 2030. Soon, there will be climate lockdowns. This is all one big scam to hasten the arrival of Klaus Schwab’s Great Reset.]
