WASHINGTON — The Biden administration on Tuesday suspended oil and gas leases in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, reversing a drilling program approved by the Trump administration and reviving a political fight over a remote region that is home to polar bears and other wildlife — and a rich reserve of oil.

The order by Interior Secretary Deb Haaland follows a temporary moratorium on oil and gas lease activities imposed by President Joe Biden on his first day in office. Biden’s Jan. 20 executive order suggested a new environmental review was needed to address possible legal flaws in a drilling program approved by the Trump administration under a 2017 law enacted by Congress.

Brewer Anheuser-Busch announced on Wednesday that it is teaming up with the White House to offer its ‘biggest beer giveaway ever’ if 70 percent of American adults have had at least one vaccine by July 4 but the offer has a catch: only 200,000 people will reap the benefits of free booze.

The free beer is part of a ‘month of action’ that President Joe Biden is announcing to get more shots into arms before the July 4 holiday – which he has previously hoped would be the celebration of the ‘independence from COVID’.

There will be no broadcast of The Word From the Trenches again today.

Laura and her sisters made the final arrangements for her mom yesterday.

This morning, I received a call informing me that my sister’s son died of a heart attack last night at the age of 36. He had taken the Covid shot recently in order to keep his job, but I’m sure that had nothing to do with it. These mother f-kers have killed my family now.

My sister is in South Carolina and her son lived in Texas, so me and my siblings have a lot to work out.

I’ll be back as soon as I can.

“Daddy teaches you, you can be anything in this world that you want to be, right, don’t Daddy teach you that?” the dad says. “Yeah, and it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white or any color.” “Doesn’t matter if you’re black, white, brown, yellow,” the dad says. “And how we treat people is based on who they are, and not what color they are.” His daughter interrupts him with, “And if they’re nice,” she says. “And smart.” “This is how children think right here.

A notorious Russia-linked hacking group is behind the cyberattack against JBS SA, according to four people familiar with the assault who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. The cyber gang goes by the name REvil or Sodinokibi.

While it’s unclear if all of REvil’s hackers operate in Russia, the group’s public face, a user on the dark web cyber-crime forum XSS who goes by the name “Unknown,” exclusively publishes in Russian. REvil typically uses a darkweb blog called “Happy Blog” to name victims when they decline to engage in ransom negotiations. REvil has yet to post a blog item dedicated to JBS.  Continue reading “Hacking Outfit Linked to Russia Is Behind JBS Cyberattack”
