Environmentalists sneered at Trump's promotion of natural gas, and Europe didn't want his Freedom Gas in 2019, now they're cutting deals for US LNG which Trump made the US the world's third top exporter of by 2019
EU strikes gas deal with the U.S. as it seeks to cut its reliance on Russia :
The White House said the EU said would work toward the goal of ensuring, until at least 2030, demand for approximately 50 billion cubic meters per year of extra U.S. LNG. This is “consistent with our shared net-zero goals,” it added.
U.S. liquefied natural gas export capacity will be world’s largest by end of 2022:
U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity has grown rapidly since the Lower 48 states first began exporting LNG in February 2016. In 2019, the United States became the world’s third-largest LNG exporter, behind Australia and Qatar. Once the new LNG liquefaction units, called trains, at Sabine Pass and Calcasieu Pass in Louisiana are placed in service by the end of 2022, the United States will have the world’s largest LNG export capacity.
The environmentalist wacko Democrat Governor of Washington State Jay Inslee sneered at the idea of freedom gas:
Europe rebuffed Trump's LNG in 2019, preferring the cheaper Russian gas:

Look who's talkin', lady
Mocked Putin as 'small, pale and almost reptilian' in final scathing op-ed...
Even in death Madeleine Albright, who later in her life had said she was shocked to learn that she was Jewish, remains half-bright.
Failure by US health authorities to count COVID-19 cases in March 2022 is causing the case fatality rate to soar
Case fatality rates in the US
January 2022: 0.30% (relatively few deaths compared with enormous case counts over 20m yielded this)
February 2022: 1.59% (consistent with adequate case counting as in 2020 and 2021)
March 2022 to the 23rd: 3.00% (case counting goes in the toilet)
2021 average: 1.38%
2020 average: 1.73%
Stupid beyond a reasonable doubt
Seattle Times LOL on new DA Alvin Bragg who obviously developed reasonable doubt because his own prosecutors suddenly went for lesser charges:
weeks of escalating disagreement between the veteran prosecutors overseeing the case and the new district attorney ...
While Dunne and Pomerantz were confident that the office could demonstrate that the former president had intended to inflate the value of his golf clubs, hotels and office buildings, Bragg was not. ...
Initially, Pomerantz and Dunne had envisioned charging Trump with the crime of “scheme to defraud,” believing that he falsely inflated his assets on the statements of financial condition that had been used to obtain bank loans. But by the end of the year, they had changed course and planned to charge Trump with falsifying business records — a simpler case that essentially amounted to painting Trump as a liar rather than a thief.

AP Obama, lying sacks of shit: "As coronavirus cases plummeted around the United States this year ... after months of case declines ..."
The Wall Street Journal shapes the news to one end, AP Obama to another end.
All this in a story about oooooh, Biden press secretary gets COVID-19 for a second time.
She's double jabbed and boosted.
Meanwhile AP Obama is COMPLETELY IGNORING that January's cases set a pandemic record, after which Biden has given up on testing despite criticizing Trump for not testing enough.
Why? So he can put the pandemic behind us.
Biden sees the public has given up, and he's simply doing the same thing.
Meanwhile Omicron is running rampant out there, Biden has given up testing for it, and many vulnerable people will continue to die as a result.
No one gives a damn.
Biden press secretary has COVID-19, won’t travel to Europe
US COVID-19 deaths in the first 21 days of March: 1,101 per day
2021 average: 1,310 per day
First 80 days of 2022: 1,845 per day
LOL Wall Street Journal: "The S-300 from Belarus wasn’t among the systems that are being sent to Ukraine, one U.S. official said"
That right there is an unnamed US source quoted for plausible deniability, primarily for Russian consumption. The link is free to read at Drudge.
USA Sending Soviet Air Defense Systems...
The story is an example of US disinformation involving a shell game of transfers of maybe this, maybe that, maybe here, maybe there.
Happy to see it!
WASHINGTON—The U.S. is sending some of the Soviet-made air defense equipment it secretly acquired decades ago to bolster the Ukrainian military as it seeks to fend off Russian air and missile attacks, U.S. officials said. ... in 1994 ... a Soviet-made transport plane was observed at the Huntsville, Ala., airport within sight of a major highway. It was later disclosed that the plane was carrying an S-300 air defense system that the U.S. had acquired in Belarus ... The S-300—called the SA-10 by NATO—is a long-range, advanced air defense system intended to protect large areas over a much wider radius. ... At least some of what the U.S. sent was from that base, said officials, who added that C-17s recently flew to a nearby airfield at Huntsville. ... [SECDEF] Austin last week visited Slovakia to explore if the country would send an S-300 from its arsenal. Slovakia has said that it would do so if the U.S. would provide it with a replacement . . ..

The Spratly Islands are now teeming with Chinese offensive weapons
OVER THE SOUTH CHINA SEA (AP) — China has fully militarized at least three of several islands it built in the disputed South China Sea, arming them with anti-ship and anti-aircraft missile systems, laser and jamming equipment, and fighter jets in an increasingly aggressive move that threatens all nations operating nearby, a top U.S. military commander said Sunday.
U.S. Indo-Pacific commander Adm. John C. Aquilino said the hostile actions were in stark contrast to Chinese President Xi Jinping’s past assurances that Beijing would not transform the artificial islands in contested waters into military bases. The efforts were part of China’s flexing its military muscle, he said. ...
A U.N.-backed arbitration tribunal that handled the case invalidated China’s sweeping historical claims in the South China Sea under the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea. Beijing dismissed the ruling as sham and continues to defy it.

Things were different in 2007, and Solzhenitsyn would live only until the next year, but he did support Vladimir Putin at the time
https://archive.boston.com/news/world/articles/2008/08/05/toward_end_solzhenitsyn_embraced_putins_russia/
Here's the lede:
MOSCOW - In the last years of his long and stubbornly contrarian life, Alexander Solzhenitsyn finally found a political system he could embrace: Vladimir Putin's Russia.
"Putin inherited a ransacked and bewildered country, with a poor and demoralized people," Solzhenitsyn told Der Spiegel in a 2007 interview. "And he started to do what was possible, a slow and gradual restoration. These efforts were not noticed, nor appreciated, immediately."
51 former "intelligence" officials lied about Hunter Biden's laptop, and thousands of health "professionals" have been lying about the vaccines
Seems like kind of a pattern for the Trump-Russia-dossier-collusion crowd who all just happened to vote for Hillary, too.
