Uganda is now transiting from the exploration phase to the development phase of its oilfields. With about three projects coming up, the country expects to develop those of its oilfields where it has some discoveries. It also expects to have a 60,000 barrels refinery and 200,000 barrels export crude oil pipeline from Uganda to Tanzania. Uganda has about 21 oil and gas discoveries, 6 billion barrels of oil in place, 1.4 billion barrels of recoverable resources, 500 Bcf of gas, 9 production licenses, over 14 discoveries to CNOOC, Total and Tullow, 3 exploration licenses to Armour Energy and Oranto Petroleum,...

As you go to church this morning, please keep Trinity Bible Chapel (TBC) in your prayers. The Waterloo-based Church has been locked out of their building since late April, despite the fact that their province has, as of two days ago, allowed churches to finally start having indoor church at capacity, so long as they socially distance and maintain two meters. In TBC’s case, the judge on Friday overseeing their case has not yet released his decision over whether or not they can have access to their building again, reserving his decision and saying “I will release something when it...

A reporter asked President Biden on Friday if he had anything to say about COVID “misinformation” on Facebook. “On COVID misinformation, what’s your message to platforms like Facebook?” the reporter shouted to Biden. They’re killing people,” Biden responded. “I mean, they’ll, really, look. The only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated. And they’re killing people.” As always with Joe Biden, one never knows if he even understood the question. His handlers and the MSM will no doubt claim that Biden meant to say that it’s unvaccinated individuals who are “killing people,” not Facebook—liberals always get the benefit of the...

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that so-called “voting rights” could be included in the Democrats’ more expansive infrastructure package they were planning to pass with a simple majority vote using the reconciliation process. Klobuchar said, “We’ve seen a concerted effort across the country, you know this, Dana, over 400 bills introduced, 28 signed into law, including this really bad one in Georgia, that not only denies voters water when they’re standing in line but also reduces the run-off time to 28 days. And guess what? You have to register 29 days before.” She...

A 77-year-old man was pushing a bicycle on Interstate 14 in Killeen Friday morning when he was hit and killed by several vehicles, according to police. Some cars that hit him didn’t even stop, police said. “Several vehicles that struck the male did not stop and the Traffic Unit would like to speak with the operators of those vehicles, or any other witnesses, about the accident,” the Killeen Police Department said in a news release. Police have not named the man, pending notification of next of kin. He was pushing the purple, BMX-style bicycle shortly before 7 a.m. when he...

The prime minister and chancellor are now self-isolating after contact with Health Secretary Sajid Javid, who has tested positive for coronavirus. No 10 initially said they would not have to isolate, as they were taking part in a pilot scheme that involves daily testing instead. But opposition parties said it suggested there was "one rule for them and another for the rest of us". The PM later said they had "briefly" considered taking part in the scheme. It comes ahead of the lifting of lockdown rules in England from Monday. Almost all legal restrictions are to end, including limits on...

Fed-up New York City parents are demanding no masks in the classroom when school reopens in September. Calling the coverings cruel, needless and detrimental to learning, some say they are even mulling homeschooling or private education options. “I’m not willing to send him to school with a mask,” Manhattan mom Katherine Rohland said of her 3 1/2-year-old son, Robert, who is scheduled to go to a Department of Education pre-kindergarten program in the fall. Rohland said the tot had to wear a mask at nursery school and immediately shut down, not talking to anyone, when he put it on. She...

The Next Conclave: A Nightmare ScenarioJuly 17, 2021 (Steven O’Reilly) – Yesterday, Pope Francis issued Traditionis Custodes, his motu proprio which places significant restrictions on the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) going forward. I will not comment in great detail on its harsh measures as others have already done so. However, for the ‘pope of mercy’ who speaks often of those on the ‘peripheries’ of the Church, it is clear neither his mercy nor the peripheries extend as far as those attached to the TLM. “Irreversible Change“ One of the oddities of Traditionis Custodes is not so much that Francis did...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Biden administration has decided to crack down hard on those who spread covid misinformation on social media. Because of this, Press Secretary Jen Psaki has been promptly and permanently removed from all social media platforms. “We take this ban very seriously,” a Biden official said. “Ol' Jen had an enormous reach online, and our system received so many notifications of misinformation by her that she was automatically removed.” Psaki now has a lifetime ban on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TiKTok, and even lower traffic sites such as AOL Instant Messenger. The social media ban is as thorough as it...

"We're flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation. We're working with doctors and medical experts…who are popular with their audience with accurate information. So, we're helping get trusted content out there." That's White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki brazenly saying the quiet part out loud regarding the U.S. government colluding with a private company in deciding what constitutes misinformation and what doesn’t. Talk about a slippery slope. This is akin to luge racing at the Olympics, except this luge has no breaks. Because if the White House can define what is misinformation and what isn't, and do so with...

THE BIG LIE EXP0SED! HERE'S THE PR00F IN MARIC0PA COUNTY !! 11 minute video - excellent synopsis

Sky News host Cory Bernardi says French President Emmanuel Macron announcing "compulsory COVID-19 vaccinations" is the first step in an "authoritarian wave set to sweep the world"."I say that because there is no way a nation like France would make such moves without the approval of others in the European Union," Mr Bernardi said."And the Eurocrats who actually run the whole show, they will make sure these reforms are adopted in other European countries and then it is only a matter of time before it leeches out and reaches our shores."In a televised address, Macron announced that COVID-19 vaccinations would...

It is said the first step to solving a problem is admitting that one exist in the first place. The attacks against the American population and our liberties are so clearly visible that there’s no need to review them all. The time has come for action. Like it or not, we are no longer just bystanders. For this reason, I will attempt to produce a series of articles that offer information, instruction and inspiration – something I feel is lacking to a degree on our side. I also challenge others to do the same. Frankly, to put it nicely, I...

WASHINGTON -- The Biden administration lashed out at Iran on Saturday for accusing it of delaying a proposed prisoner swap to force a quick resumption of indirect nuclear talks. The State Department slammed as “outrageous” comments made by Iran’s deputy foreign minister who alleged the U.S. and Britain were holding the swap “hostage” to the negotiations over salvaging the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA.

When Black Rifle Coffee (“BRC”) emerged on the scene, it targeted conservatives, positioning itself as a pro-American and, eventually, pro-Trump veteran-owned company. I don’t drink coffee so it didn’t matter to me. However, some coffee drinkers may be unhappy with what the company’s executives had to say to the New York Times.The Times article opens by assuring its readers that BRC’s CEO, Evan Hafer, really is a MAGA kind of guy. He voted for Trump and even believed Trump’s claims about election fraud – before he saw the light thanks to Bill Barr’s declaration that there was no fraud, gave...

Before I get to the missing link subject of this article, I want to be clear that I think there’s a broader missing link in the leftist brain. That link is for logical thinking and truth recognition. We’ve been asked — no, it’s demanded of us — to ignore critical thought for so long, that some people have forgotten how to think and question. We all need to exercise our minds, and be vocal, too.The specific missing link I’m talking about is in the COVID dialogue. As I watch California attempt to send its populace into another panic over the...

Trying to recall the name of the plastic tubes of freshwater we occasionally received while in the bush. We had a very good C.O. who tried to get us a hot meal when possible. With the food, we received plastic tubes of water that were DROPPED on or near to our location. IIRC They were about 8 inches in diameter and maybe 5 feet long? Usually orange or yellow, sometimes O.D. green and white? My son, USMC Infantry 3x sandbox, was unfamiliar with them.
