That’s simply not true. […] We’re approaching record levels of oil and gas production in the United States, and we’re on track …
The Chinese are sitting in the catbird seat during the Ukraine crisis. With patience and shrewd diplomacy, they can exploit virtually any outcome. They want to maintain their trade with the EU and keep their economic engine running.

An intelligent U.S. president assessing the current energy situation would conclude that now might be a good time to loosen regulations on oil and gas drilling, rethink the Keystone XL Pipeline and maybe open up drilling in ANWR. After all, the world has suddenly become a more dangerous place and energy independence is essential to …
Image: DreamsTime Why did China give about $70 million to the University of Pennsylvania (Penn), located in Philadelphia? In 2017 Penn hired Joe “The Big Guy” to its faculty as the Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor. Penn paid Big Guy $390,000 for 2017 and over $400,000 for 2018.
