HONG KONG — As Washington and Beijing’s tit-for-tat measures in their ongoing trade war continue to escalate, a major Chinese state-owned energy conglomerate has said it will honor the $83.7 billion shale gas deal agreed with the U.S. state of West Virginia last fall.

Ling Wen, president of China Energy Investment, told reporters on Monday that the contract he signed during U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to China last November was moving ahead as planned. The project was a central part of the $250 billion-worth of deals agreed between the two countries. The size of the West Virginia project, which will last for the next two decades, was more than the state’s gross domestic product last year.   Continue reading “Chinese company recommits to $83.7B West Virginia shale gas deal”

The California Money Bail Reform Act will replace bail with a risk-assessment system, which will determine a defendant’s risk to public safety and probability of that suspect missing a court date rather than their ability to pay bail.    Continue reading “California will be the first state to eliminate bail with reform act”

A neighborhood in Texas has been consumed with mystery after a security camera recorded a barefoot woman wearing only a t-shirt and what appears to be wrist shackles frantically ringing the doorbell of a Montgomery County home in the early hours of the morning.

The incident, which occurred after 3 a.m. on Friday, was captured by a doorbell cam recently installed at a home in the Sunrise Ranch subdivision, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.

Baltimore, MD — Last November, Baltimore City Police Detective Sean Suiter was shot and killed while on duty the day before he was set to testify against dirty cops in the department. Now, nearly a year later, the panel responsible for investigating the case have ruled his death a suicide, because they claimed they could not find any evidence of a second person in the area.

Not only was Suiter set to testify in a massive corruptions case the day after his shooting but his partner was off work that day and the commissioner lied about this important detail in a press conference where he revealed the details of the case to the media. The man who filled in as Suiter’s partner on the day of his death is friends with one of the officers who Suiter was set to testify against.   Continue reading “Dept Claims Cop Killed Himself, While Chasing Suspect, Days Before Testifying Against Dirty Cops”
