Shelved Biden Study Contradicted LNG Export Ban

Bob Boswell, CEO of Laramie Energy, revealed that the Biden administration had completed a Department of Energy study four months before halting LNG export licenses. The study concluded that expanded exports would only modestly increase domestic gas prices and would not appreciably change global greenhouse gas emissions.

“If you want reliable, affordable, clean energy, you need to really focus on natural gas and nuclear.”

Boswell also warned about the UN Ocean Conference proposing fees on shipping companies and Colorado’s proposed methane tax, which would increase energy costs without meaningfully affecting emissions.

Baby Taken from Breastfeeding Mother Over Vaccine Refusal

Trent Loos shared the disturbing case of Rhonda Christensen in Bismarck, North Dakota, whose 24-hour-old baby was taken by Child Protective Services because she refused vaccinations. Three police officers entered her hospital room while she was breastfeeding, and the baby was kept for nearly a week before being returned after public outcry.

“She opposed that, and they literally, Child Protective Services, literally brought three police officers in the room. She had already been cleared to leave the hospital, and they took that baby away.”
