Russia pipeline is security 'threat', US diplomat says
Russia’s Nord Stream II gas pipeline is a threat to European security, a US diplomat has said, amid calls for the European Commission to intervene. Adam Shub, the deputy US ambassador to the EU, in Brussels on Tuesday (6 December), mentioned the Russian-German project amid other instruments he said Russia was using to “create division” in Europe and to erode “shared transatlantic values”.
Commission tries to revive GMO opt-out proposal
The European Commission has made one more attempt to convince member states that they should accept its proposal to give national governments the power to ban the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food. But when agriculture ministers discussed the plan in July 2015, they heavily criticised the proposal, calling it “not useful” and “unworkable”. In October 2015, the European Parliament flat-out rejected the proposal.

The Painful Reality behind the Tennessee Fires
The economy is made up of real people, in the real world, with real needs. The true measure of an economy’s success is the well-being of the people that compose it, something which can never be translated into a numerical value. How could anyone look the victims of this fire in the eye and tell them that their lives burning down in front of them meant that the economy was now better off? After seemingly every event of large-scale destruction, the fairy tales of economic growth emerge as visions of boosted GDP figures dance in the heads of Paul Krugman and his disciples. This happens so frequently that a good economist can quickly become numb to this broken window fallacy. Refuting it almost turns into a reflex rather than a feat of purposeful thought.
Cheers to the Market's End of Prohibition
Where there is a demand, a supply will most likely arise. When such a supply is suppressed by government action, but the demand persists, those who demand will find a way to access supply. And thus, black markets are born – the enterprise of men like Al Capone.

'Worse than irrelevant': How Donald Trump's potential press secretary views the press
On Tuesday, President-elect Donald Trump met with conservative commentator Laura Ingraham at Trump Tower. Ingraham — a talk radio host, Fox News contributor and the founder of conservative lifestyle site Lifezette — is believed to be the leading candidate to be Trump’s press secretary. “New media has spent enormous time and resources covering Benghazi, the FBI investigation, Wikileaks, Planned Parenthood and the corrupt Justice Department,” she said. “None of these things and others would have come to light without the New Media. ABC, NBC, the Washington Post are worse than irrelevant. We now must make fun of them.”

What the Dakota Access Pipeline Is Really About
The standoff isn’t about tribal rights or water, but about political expediency in a White House that does not see itself as being bound by the rule of law. The Obama administration has decided to build a political legacy rather than lead the country. It is facilitating an illegal occupation that has grown wildly out of control. That the economy depends on a consistent and predictable permitting regime seems never to have crossed the president’s mind. There is no doubt that Native American communities have historically suffered at the hands of the federal government. But to litigate that history on the back of a legally permitted river crossing is absurd. The Obama administration should enforce the law, release the easement and conclude this dangerous standoff.
