Joe Biden just did the rarest thing in US politics: he stood up to the oil industry

The Biden administration suspended new permits for natural gas terminals. Can we see more of this kind of backbone?

Ten days ago Joe Biden did something remarkable, and almost without precedent – he actually said no to big oil.

His administration halted the granting of new permits for building liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals, something Washington had been handing out like M&Ms on Halloween for nearly a decade. It’s a provisional “no” – Department of Energy experts will spend the coming months figuring out a new formula for granting the licenses that takes the latest science and economics into account – but you can tell what a big deal it is because of the howls of rage coming from the petroleum industry and its gaggle of politicians.

And you can tell something else too: just how threadbare their arguments have become over time. Biden has called their bluff, and it’s beautiful to watch.

Does anyone even freaking care at this moment?

The same people who told us they "Saw images of beheaded babies" are the ones pushing for starvation of palestinians because of claims from Israel and their strategically placed call llaborator in The Guardian (one paper EVERYONE REFERRING TO), But no one cares to stand up and say WTAF , where are your evidence and how can 4 people working with Hamas be used as base for discredit one of the oldest UN organizations who employes 30000 people?

I can guarantee that both IDF, FBI and CIA have more percentage of criminals, rapists, pedophiles and domestic violence abusers, not to forget war criminals, drug dealers and murderers.

Israel is murdering Palestinian journalists in Gaza. Where is the outrage?

. . .

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) calculates that Israel has killed more than 70 media workers in the latest war in Gaza, making it the deadliest conflict for journalists in decades. Others put the toll at more than 100.

The CPJ says that the scale and circumstances of the killings, including direct threats to reporters and their families by Israeli officials, is evidence that Palestinian reporters in Gaza are being targeted. Murdered, in other words. If so, it’s a war crime and, as Al Jazeera has demanded, the international criminal court should add these killings to its investigation of Israel’s other alleged breaches of the Geneva conventions across occupied Palestine.

Cartoon about Netanyahu, cartoonist Steve Bell fired by the Guardian after 40 years

Steve Bell, the Guardian’s longtime cartoonist, was “kicked out” from the British newspaper, according to the cartoonist himself, due to a cartoon on Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu was newspaper believed it to be anti-Semitic.

Speaking about the story, the cartoonist wrote that “it has become almost impossible to draw anything in the Guardian that concerns Israel without being accused of anti-Semitism

"The image itself was inspired by the late, great David Levine's cartoon of President Lyndon Johnson (LBJ) showing off his operation scar, which Levine draws in the shape of a map of Vietnam."

[l] Diese fiesen Chinesen!! Erst bauen sie bessere Geräte als wir. Dann verhängen die Amis Sanktionen, damit sie keine guten Einzelteile mehr kriegen.Was machen die Chinesen? Aufgeben? Nein! Die bauen ihre eigenen Einzelteile!!

OK, machen wir mehr Sanktionen. Verbieten den Export von Chipherstellungsmaschinen.

Alles geritzt? Nicht doch! Jetzt bauen die Chinesen ihre eigene Chipfertigung!!1! Unfassbar!1!!

Ich weiß, was ihr jetzt denkt. Das hat bestimmt die CIA herausgefunden. Doch nein! Das hat die SIA herausgefunden!
