The largest power generating company in India, NTPC Ltd, is looking for bids to import at least one million tons of coal for the first time in two years, ... NTPC aims to use the imported coal at power plants that are located far from India’s coal mines, as the energy crisis has depleted coal stocks in the country. The first tender in two years for overseas coal supply highlights the shortage of the fuel in India, where coal is the major power generating fuel, accounting for 70 percent of total electricity generation. Currently, more than 91 percent of the...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) did not issue a definitive answer about whether she will run for reelection in 2022 while she was being questioned during a Sunday morning interview. Pelosi, who was first elected to the House in 1986, was asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” if she is planning on running for her congressional seat, which encompasses most of San Francisco. “Oh, you think I’m going to make an announcement right here and now?” the House speaker said in response. When pressed again during the CNN interview, Pelosi stated: “Why would I tell you that now?” and...

The Soviets had the gulag, we have “cancel culture” in our universities and a brittle obsession with race and weirdo sexuality everywhere. Reflecting on Joe Biden’s disastrous “town hall” with Anderson Cooper on Thursday, The Spectator’s Dominic Green asks a question that has to weigh heavily on the mind of every American adult: “Is it more worrisome that Joe Biden might not be in charge, or that he actually is in charge?” I have long argued that allowing Biden to appear in public is a form of elder abuse, and I have speculated that he really is not in control...

Candace Owens is back again in headlines for her unwarranted two cents and this time, Alec Baldwin is the culprit.The conservative pundit let off a few poorly timed and inconsiderate tweets regarding the incident calling Baldwin’s deadly mistake “poetic justice” for his previous criticism of Donald Trump.

It’s just the flu, bro. Posted a reply to a thread recently about getting religious vaccine waivers. I don’t think I have ever put this information on any Flubros threads before but it is actually a topic in which I know something, as opposed to just having an opinion. I successfully received a religious vaccine waiver about 8 years ago as part of my green card process. This exempted me from all of the vaccines normally required for prospective immigrants to the USA. I had a top immigration lawyer with experience in these waivers help me prepare the document. I...

BOISE — On a quiet street south of downtown Boise, Michael Dick has festooned his front yard with homemade signs, including a large yellow placard that facetiously thanks President Biden for a growing list of grievances — $4-a-gallon gas, inflation, Afghanistan, covid-19. In capital letters in black marker, Dick, 59, recently added "dead civilians" and "dead U.S. soldiers" to his bill of particulars. In another part of town, alongside a “No trespassing” sign, Michael Schwarz, 60, used black spray-paint to scrawl “Joe Blows” across an electric-pink poster board. And that’s mild compared to the sentiments some people — largely in...

After the Atlanta Braves had the 2021 MLB All-Star Game moved out of their park due to a slate of restrictive voting laws in Georgia, it turns out that baseball's biggest event, the World Series, might end up in their backyard instead. The Braves defeated the Milwaukee Brewers, 5-4, on Tuesday to advance to the National League Championship Series (NLCS), where they'll face either the San Fransisco Giants or Los Angeles Dodgers. The winner of the NLCS will then advance to the World Series to play the champion of the American League, either the Boston Red Sox or Houston Astros....

America be lying. Although language purists will argue that the previous sentence is grammatically incorrect, it shows why African American Vernacular English (AAVE), is sometimes more accurate than Caucasian American Vernacular English (CAVE).

VICTORIA — Applying cold water directly to a fire burning in 10 containers aboard a cargo ship near Victoria is not an option due to hazardous materials in two of them, the Canadian Coast Guard said Sunday. The agency said in a tweet that the hull of the MV Zim Kingston had been cooled overnight by a tugboat spraying it with water. It said the blaze aboard the ship about eight kilometres off the coast of Victoria poses a significant risk to mariners but not people on shore. The coast guard said it received word late Saturday morning about a...

After Donald Trump was elected in 2016, former Vice President Joe Biden became Penn professor Joe Biden, returning to the campus that awarded him an honorary degree in 2013 so he could have panel discussions on politics and foreign affairs, headline major events, drop in on classes, and establish his namesake center. His immersion in the city’s intellectual and academic life and his family ties — daughter Ashley, granddaughter Naomi and late son Beau all graduated from Penn — set up a sturdy network of local connections for the politician from neighboring Delaware.

With so much disinformation about the “safe and effective” Covid-19 “vaccines” circulating across mainstream media and amplified by Big Tech, our biggest challenge is not in securing the truth. It’s in disseminating it widely enough to make an impact before the universal vaccination agenda tied to The Great Reset reaches critical mass. Last week, independent journalist Alex Berenson discovered further evidence demonstrating what we’ve speculated about for a long time. The Covid-19 “vaccines” hamper the body’s natural ability to defend itself against Covid-19 and other coronaviruses and it appears that this phenomenon is permanent, according to a newly released report...

The Illinois Supreme Court ruled on Oct. 21 that two taxes on guns and ammunition in Cook County violate the state’s constitution because they affect law-abiding citizens’ Second Amendment right to acquire firearms for self-defense. Supreme Court Justice Mary Jane Theis wrote in a 6–0 decision that the taxes violate the constitution’s uniformity clause, while also pointing out that the revenue from the generated tax isn’t directed toward funds or programs that reduce gun violence. “While the taxes do not directly burden a law-abiding citizen’s right to use a firearm for self-defense, they do directly burden a law-abiding citizen’s right...

On September 21 the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) awarded a $456,548 contract for "purchase and installation of security fencing at the $2.7 million home Biden bought in 2017. The work should be completed by the end of this year. Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas cited the surge in illegal border crossings as "the chief reason why this expenditure was undertaken. With nearly two million new unvetted foreigners expected to enter the country this year and who knows how many next year, added protection of the President is vitally needed." The Secretary explained that "the cancellation of the completion of the border...

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey issued a warning about rising inflation over the weekend as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Sunday said the United States isn’t losing control. “Hyperinflation is going to change everything. It’s happening,” Dorsey wrote on Twitter, later continuing to say: “It will happen in the U.S. soon, and so the world.” During an interview on Sunday with CNN, Yellen said that inflation levels would return to normal by the second half of next year. The Treasury Secretary made the remarks in context of promoting President Joe Biden’s domestic infrastructure and social spending packages worth trillions of dollars...

The Ministry of Health has confirmed the death of a 13-year-old Moruca boy, two hours after he was administered a second dose of the Pfizer vaccine that is being used to vaccinate children against COVID-19. A full investigation of the teen’s death has been ordered and a post-mortem examination of his body is to be conducted. According to the Ministry of Health, the young boy was administered the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine three weeks ago. He received his second dose of the vaccine at 2:00pm today. He was observed for 20 minutes after taking the vaccine and there...

Though it took months to confirm it, Tatum Strieter-Byron knew from the start what no one seemed to want to believe. The Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine brought about the April 21 death of her mother, 60-year-old Sandra Jacobs of Saline, a grandmother, a friend, an employee. Rationalizing or explaining this as rare doesn’t help Strieter-Byron, who still finds herself picking up the phone, without thinking, to contact the first person she always called or texted with important news: her mother. “She was a real person. She is not a piece of just like fictitious political propaganda, where they’re saying...

President Biden hosted Sen. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, a key swing vote for his legislative agenda, in Delaware on Sunday as Democrats weigh a new billionaire’s tax to help pay for their multi-trillion-dollar expansion of the federal safety net. Mr. Biden met with Mr. Manchin and Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer at the president’s Delaware home for a wide-ranging discussion on the spending plan. The talks came as Democrats have become increasingly optimistic that a deal is at hand. “We have 90% of the bill agreed to and written. We just have some of the last decisions...

As tens of tens of millions of People stay unvaccinated, state and native governments have launched mandates requiring public workers be absolutely inoculated in opposition to the coronavirus. And whereas orders in some localities have translated into a final minute surge in vaccination charges, they’re additionally met with steadfast refusal, resulting in authorized challenges or considerations over staffing points.Washington State’s mandate, one of many strictest within the nation, went into impact on Monday. The order requires greater than 800,000 public staff to be absolutely inoculated in opposition to the coronavirus, save for a non secular or medical exemption, or danger...
