President of European Parliament Bans EU Nations from Purchasing Russian Gas Without Paying Commission to Third Party


The headline is the reality of the thing.

In order to make themselves feel better, the European Union is now banning the EU countries from purchasing discounted Russian oil and gas directly. Instead, the EU will force their assembly to purchase Russian oil and gas from India at a premium.  The EU is still buying Russian oil and gas; however, paying more, they believe, will work out better for them in the long-term.  Go figure.

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola made the announcement via X:

The actual target of this oil and gas ban is the nation of Hungary, who as a landlocked nation is dependent on the gas from Russia.  The EU ban expressly hurts the position of Hungary because Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has refused to kneel to the dictates of Brussels.

Prime Minister Orban has vowed to sue the European Parliament over the ban. The lawsuit will likely be supported by other EU countries who understand the stupidity of paying India for what amounts to a brokerage fee to deliver the same oil and gas.


Ontario Premier Doug Ford Appears in Awkward Presser – We Love Chinese EVs Now


Ontario Premier Doug Ford went for a pizza with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.  Following the meeting Doug Ford appears on camera for a debrief to explain how he has reversed his opposition to Chinese EV imports.  The presser looks like a hostage video (prompted):



USMCA Article 32.10 – Non-Market Country FTA (key provisions):

“A Party intending to negotiate a free trade agreement with a non-market country shall inform the other Parties at least three months prior to commencing negotiations and, upon request, provide information regarding the objectives of those negotiations.

A Party that enters into a free trade agreement with a non-market country shall provide the other Parties with the full text of the agreement prior to signing.

If a Party enters into a free trade agreement with a non-market country, the other Parties may terminate this Agreement on six months’ notice and replace it with a bilateral agreement.” [SOURCE]


Ilhan Omar 'Assaulted' at Town Hall Event. Here's What Happened.



Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is okay, but she was ‘assaulted’ during a town hall event. She wasn’t punched, kicked, smacked, or even shot at, but the Minnesota congresswoman was sprayed with an unknown liquid by an attendee who was wrestled to the ground. The substance reportedly emitted a foul odor. Omar continued with the event. The Minnesota leftist was clamoring for the resignation of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem (via Fox News):

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., was sprayed with an unknown substance by a man that charged her while she was speaking at a town hall in Minneapolis on Tuesday night.

Omar was immediately pulled away by her security and the unidentified man was tackled and restrained by security. Omar appeared to be shaken, but largely unharmed.  

"We will continue. These f--king a--holes are not going to get away with this," Omar shouted as the room reacted. 

"It smells terrible," a member of her entourage said as she urged her to stop and get checked out. 

All is well, as no one was hurt. We don’t know the suspect’s name or his motives. 

Brace yourselves for a possible string of 'the GOP is out of control' stories from the media over this incident. 


🚩Many are pointing out how odd it is that she would not be alarmed about what the substance might be, unless she knew ahead of time that it was a harmless substance.
