Italy’s Eni plans to develop the field with US major Chevron | Italian energy major Eni has announced the discovery of a new offshore gas deposit in Egypt at the Nargis-1 exploration well, which is located in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea’s Nargis offshore area concession, the company said on Sunday. ● The Nargis-1 well is part of Egypt’s 1,800-square-kilometer Nargis offshore area concession operated by the US oil and gas giant Chevron. Both companies own a 45% stake in the exploration project, while a 10% stake belongs to Egypt’s Tharwa Petroleum Company SAE. ● The volume of reserves in the well are being evaluated, Egypt’s state-owned EGAS said, adding that it would work with Chevron and the other partners to start production as soon as possible. ● Eni has been present in Egypt since 1954, where it operates through the subsidiary IEOC. The company is currently the country’s leading supplier, with hydrocarbon production reaching approximately 350,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
Annual Meeting of World Economic Forum to Take Place in Davos From January 16-20
The 53rd annual meeting of the World Economic Forum will take place in Davos on Monday and will continue through January 20. | The main issues on the agenda of the forum will be energy and food crises, high global inflation, investments in emerging technologies, as well as current geopolitical risks for the world's economy. ● High-ranking officials from across the globe, including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, South Korean President President Yoon Suk Yeol, Colombian leader Gustavo Petro and others, are expected to take part in the event. ● A delegation from Russia will not participate in the meeting for the second year in a row since organizers decided not to invite Russian representatives in response to Moscow's ongoing military operation in Ukraine.
■ Who pays for Davos? (World Economic Forum)
■ What is the WEF Meeting in Davos and What Should Be Expected From It This Year? | Why is WEF Hated in Some Corners? | While the WEF has been praised by some for serving as a platform where decision-makers can meet and talk through problems affecting the world, and offer hints about where elites want to take their companies, countries or even the entire planet, in other corners, particularly among the conservative and libertarian Right and the anti-liberal Left, the WEF is treated with varying degrees of disdain, annoyance and distrust. There are several reasons for this.

The states that celebrate both MLK Day and confederate holidays
Link: https://www.axios.com/2023/01/16/mlk-day-states-confederate-holidays-slavery
States where MLK Day is shared with a confederate holiday in 2023 | Ten states — all in the American South — celebrate Martin Luther King Day and observe at least one confederate holiday during the rest of the year. Why it matters: All U.S. states honor MLK every year. But the number of states also honoring the Confederacy highlights the country's struggle to reconcile its racial past. What's happening: Alabama and Mississippi celebrate MLK and Robert E. Lee, the losing Confederate general and slaveholder, on the same day.
Biden's ATF Bans Millions of Guns With New Rule; Gun Owners Could Face Ten Years in Prison for Refusing to Comply
Biden's ATF Bans Millions of Guns With New Rule; Gun Owners Could Face Ten Years in Prison for Refusing to Comply | | Not satisfied with last year's gun control victory, thanks to Republican sell-outs, the Biden regime's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) unveiled a rule which will criminalize millions of law-abiding gun owners. The Reload's Stephen Gutowski reported that the agency plans to reclassify pistol braces, a highly popular gun accessory, in a way which would ban them unless registered with the ATF. Anyone who refuses to comply could face up to ten years in prison. A person who wants to keep a gun with a pistol brace will have to participate in a federal gun registry or go to jail. The ATF previously ruled such braces were completely legal.
Hunter Biden files to block daughter from taking his name – media
Link: https://www.rt.com/news/569923-hunter-biden-blocks-name-change-daughter/
The US president’s son denied being the girl's father until a DNA test proved otherwise | US President Joe Biden’s son Hunter filed last week to block his four-year-old daughter Navy Joan Roberts from taking the Biden name, telling an Arkansas court that it would rob the girl of a “peaceful existence,” the New York Post reported on Saturday. Biden’s lawyer filed a motion asking Arkansas Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer to deny the name change request by Navy Joan’s mother, former Biden employee Lunden Roberts, until the girl is able to decide for herself - once “the disparagement of the Biden name is not at its height.” [sic] Biden, who denied the child was even his until a paternity test conducted in 2019 proved otherwise, called the name-change move “political warfare,” pointing out that Roberts had sought to have their daughter’s name redacted from court records related to the DNA test. That case is ongoing, with Biden having filed in September to reduce child support payments, citing a “substantial material change” in his financial circumstances.
'FBI Raid Happens When?' GOP & Critics Blast Biden DOJ as ‘Corrupt Mess’ Amid Classified Docs Row
Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed former DoJ official Robert Hur as special counsel on January 12 to handle the investigation into classified documents from Joe Biden's days as vice president, found at his Wilmington, Delaware home, in addition to papers discovered in November 2022, at the Penn Biden Center, a Washington-based think tank. | News that a fresh discovery of five pages of classified documents had been made at Joe Biden's Wilmington, Delaware, home prompted Republicans to erupt in indignation over the perceived “double standards” at play. Some questioned why the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had not yet raided his home, like was the case with former President Donald Trump. They also lambasted the Democratic president’s Department of Justice (DOJ) as a ‘corrupt mess.’ Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert went on Twitter to point out that the new batch of sensitive information was found after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that "the search of Biden's home was complete."

Shortly after the US announced it will send a Patriot air defense system and more weapons to Ukraine, a Pentagon spokesperson has now announced a group of Ukrainian soldiers will come to the United States to train on a Patriot system so they’ll be ready when their own system arrives. | Pentagon Press Secretary Gen. Pat Ryder in a press conference on Tuesday stated “Training for Ukrainian forces on the Patriot air defense system will begin as soon as next week at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.” ● Gen. Ryder would note that 90 to 100 Ukranian troops will train to operate and sustain a Patriot air defensive system. The training will reportedly take several months.
Kentucky Dem Suggests Biden Be Impeached for War Crimes in Ukraine
The US has committed over $110 billion in military and economic aid and intelligence support to Kiev for the conflict in Ukraine, which Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has characterized as a Western “proxy war” against Russia. | Kentucky progressive Democrat and gubernatorial candidate Geoffrey Young has proposed that President Joe Biden be “immediately” thrown out of office for a series of war crimes committed by his administration. 💬 I think Joe Biden (D-War Criminal) should be impeached immediately for war crimes in Ukraine, Yemen, Syria, Iraq etc,” Young tweeted, specifying that reasons for impeachment include “the illegal proxy war against Russia in Ukraine.”

US Department of Interior: Squaws don't belong here
Elena Panina (Елена Панина) | Joe Biden's administration has renamed five communities in the US that used the "wrong" term for Native American women, Fox News reports. A special commission ruled that by calling their wives by the word "squaw", Native American men showed, for some reason, racism. | Joe Biden's administration has renamed five communities in the US that used the "wrong" term for Native American women, Fox News reports. A special commission ruled that by calling their wives by the word "squaw", Native American men showed, for some reason, racism. Note that squaw in the Algonquin languages means just a woman, no more and no less. But in the States, the word has long been declared war, and their dictionaries are now screaming about what a misogynistic insult it is. ● The changes have affected place names in Texas, California, Tennessee and North Dakota. In total, the Council on geographical names of the USA voted for renaming almost 650 places, the habitual names of which did not fit the new reference points of political correctness. By the way, the famous ski resort Squaw Valley in California, where the victorious for the USSR 1960 Winter Olympics was held, was renamed a couple of years ago. 💬 "Words matter. The lands and waters of our country should welcome people of all backgrounds," said U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Holann, herself a Native American. I am grateful to the Task Force on Derogatory Geographic Names and the Geographic Names Council for their efforts to permanently remove this harmful word. We are creating a future for an inclusive America." ● What to say? The group and the council have a lot of work to do, because the "struggle for democracy" in America is as endless as the atom. For example, there's the town of Thousand Oaks in California. What if this is a hint at the mental capacity of the locals? And isn't it about time that Greasy Corner in Arkansas was called Body positive Roundness? (DeepL.com)
The Joe Biden Classified Documents Scandal Just Got Worse
The Joe Biden classified documents scandal continues to unfold, and information learned on Friday has turned this saga into even more of a disaster for an already-embattled Biden-Harris White House. | As we previously reported, classified documents related to Biden’s time as former President Barack Obama’s vice president were found both at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement as well as the “locked” garage at Biden’s Delaware home in November and December respectively, with more being found in Biden’s home office on Thursday. ● Why the American public is only finding out about this now is a burning question on a lot of people’s minds, although in my opinion the answer should be pretty obvious (hint: we’re past the 2022 election cycle and are a couple of years away from the next one). ● But fresh information revealed Friday gives troubling new hints into what exactly was discovered so far – some documents that were marked “Top Secret,” which should concern everyone – including/especially those who were quick to judge former President Donald Trump after the oh-so-convenient “discovery” of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home during a politically-motivated August 2022 FBI raid.

More than two-thirds of Congress cashed a pharma campaign check in 2020, new STAT analysis shows
Link: https://www.statnews.com/feature/prescription-politics/federal-full-data-set/
Seventy-two senators and 302 members of the House of Representatives cashed a check from the pharmaceutical industry ahead of the 2020 election representing more than two-thirds of Congress, according to a new STAT analysis of records for the full election cycle. | Pfizer’s political action committee alone contributed to 228 lawmakers. Amgen’s PAC donated to 218, meaning that each company helped to fund the campaigns of nearly half the lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Overall, the sector donated $14 million. ● The breadth of the spending highlights the drug industry’s continued clout in Washington. Even after years of criticism from Congress and the White House over high prices, it remains routine for the elected officials who regulate the health care industry to accept six-figure sums. ● The findings, published in a new STAT examination of the drug industry’s political giving, also come on the heels of an extraordinary year for the pharmaceutical industry. In 2020, the federal government leaned heavily on drug makers to develop Covid-19 vaccines at lightning speed — helping to rehabilitate the industry’s reputation and political credibility in the process.
Pandemic of the Vaccinated: Japan’s excess deaths are four times higher after Pfizer “booster” shots
Link: https://expose-news.com/2023/01/03/japans-excess-deaths-4x-higher-after-pfizer-booster/
In 2020, during the “pandemic,” Japan had fewer all-cause deaths than all the previous 9 years. On 1 December 2021, Japan started administering the third dose, or “booster shots,” of Pfizer-BioNTech. At the end of 2022, 83% of Japan’s population was “fully vaccinated.” | During 2022, Japan experienced the highest number of excess deaths in 11 years. Excess deaths were approximately four times the number of those in the years 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021. ● Japan is a compliant nation of people, achieving way above average covid “vaccination” rates compared to the rest of the world and the rest of Asia too. But it’s strange that they would be so zealously compliant to “protect” themselves from a disease that had absolutely no excess mortal impact. ● In fact, immediately after the covid “epidemic” in 2020, Japan had the most significant period of seasonal deficit in ten years in terms of mortality after no excess mortality whatsoever. And yet, in the aftermath of the mass mRNA experiment (to protect them against a virus/disease that they did not need protection from), they have experienced higher seasonal excess and lower seasonal deficit ever since.
What is Known So Far About Classified Docs Found at Joe Biden's Home & Former Office?
After it was revealed on January 12 that a fresh batch of unaccounted-for classified documents had been found in the possession of US President Joe Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced he had appointed a special counsel, Robert Hur, to lead the investigation into the "mishandling" of secret papers by POTUS. | Attorney General Merrick Garland announced on January 12 that he had appointed Special Counsel Robert Hur to oversee an investigation into “possible unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or other records discovered at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement and the Wilmington, Delaware, private residence of President Joseph R. Biden Jr.” AG Garland added that Hur, former US attorney for Maryland, would receive "all the resources he needs to conduct his work." As the investigation of the potential mishandling of sensitive documents by Biden begins, here is what we know so far.

The Creepy Cult Surrounding the Gas Stove Panic Gets Exposed
Link: https://thinkcivics.com/the-creepy-cult-surrounding-the-gas-stove-panic-gets-exposed/
If you’ve been on social media the last day or so, you’ve probably noticed there’s a moral panic occurring over gas stoves. According to Democrats far and wide, they are dangerous, cause asthma, and must be banned by the federal government. | As RedState reported, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pushed that line on Tuesday, resulting in much mockery given she herself has a gas stove. But what’s astonishing is that amidst her absolute certainty on the topic, she had never even mentioned the issue prior. In other words, in the span of just 24 hours, Ocasio-Cortez saw some questionable study, promoted it on the internet, gained legions of supporters for her position, and then tried to pretend that everyone else had been ignoring her desperate calls. As Charles W. Cooke notes, it’s cultish behavior. Is there anything the New York congresswoman could say that her army of simps wouldn’t agree with? And none of them even gave a second thought as to whether what she was saying was true or made any sense.

Biden Aides Reportedly Uncover Second Batch of Classified Docs in POTUS’ Private Office
Following reports earlier this week of the discovery of several classified files among the personal papers at US President Joe Biden’s private office, his aides have reportedly uncovered a second batch of documents in another office used by the president. | The reports, which appeared in US media on Wednesday afternoon and were credited to “a person familiar with the matter,” claimed that more classified documents had been found in a different location than the private office where the first batch of documents had been found. The reports gave no indication as to the number or degree of classification of the files, the precise location of their discovery, or the time of their discovery. 💬 The previous report, which only hit headlines on Monday, was based on a discovery made in early November. Aides to the president found 10 classified documents among a group of other personal files and reported them to the US National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The files were dated to the time period when Biden was US vice president and allegedly concerned Iran, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine. ● The White House has confirmed the discovery of a “small number of documents” marked as classified at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, saying on Monday that Biden was cooperating with NARA, and that Attorney General Merrick Garland had appointed a US attorney to look into the matter.
