冰与火之歌

A | After a report came out Wednesday revealing that 5 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) had been sent to Asian and European countries, Republicans have been slamming President Biden for the mistake.,In late March, Biden announced that he was releasing 1 million barrels a day from the SPR for eight months, in an attempt to lower fuel prices for Americans that have been skyrocketing since the West issued harsh sanctions on Russia.,But, according to the report, instead of going to U.S. refineries, 5 million barrels of crude oil went to other countries, including China.,"The American people deserve answers as to why our emergency energy reserves are being sent to foreign adversaries like the Chinese Communist Party, compromising our energy security and national security," stated House Energy and Commerce Committee Member Cathy McMorris Rodgers in a statement to Fox News Digital.,Meanwhile, Michigan Representative Fred Upton, also a Republican, tweeted on Thursday that "The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is meant for national emergencies – not policy blunders,” while noting that the administration still has not answered his and McMorris Rodgers’ letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm asking about how Biden’s release of the SPR may be emboldening China. That letter was sent in early June, before the report of the missing 5 million barrels was released by Reuters.,"What do they have to hide?" McMorris Rodgers asked when speaking about the letter.,Instead of tapping the SPR, Republicans would prefer Biden authorize increased domestic production of oil.,"President Biden needs to remember that our strategic energy reserves are for emergencies, not to cover up bad policies. America needs to flip the switch and increase our capacity to produce and refine oil here at home," McMorris Rodgers stated. "Now is not the time to use our strategic stockpile.",The SPR is currently at its lowest level since December 1985.,“After multiple failed attempts to lower U.S. gas prices by robbing our emergency strategic petroleum reserve, will someone please inform the decision makers at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue that we have much larger and more strategic undeveloped energy resources that can be extracted, processed, and utilized cleaner and safer right here at home benefiting American workers and businesses?" Bruise Westerman, a Republican representative from Arkansas told Fox News Digital.,Meanwhile, U.S. crude inventories have reached their lowest levels since 2004, even as refineries are running near their peak capacity. According to Reuters, U.S. Gulf Coast refineries are running at 97.9% utilization.,At a press conference on Tuesday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said she was not aware of the report. At Thursday’s press conference, Jean-Pierre did not address the report but did she call Biden tapping the SPR “historic” and mentioned the administration’s call to issue a holiday on federal taxes on gasoline.。

北京时间7月27日晚，不久前加盟费城76人的超级球星勒布朗·詹姆斯在社媒上转发了一句名言“胜人者有力，自胜者强”，以此勉励自己。但尴尬的是，詹姆斯却在社交媒体动态中将这句话的出处错写成了《孙子兵法》。“胜人者有力，自胜者强”是《道德经》第三十三章的哲理名言，意为战胜别人是有力量，战胜自己才是真正的强者。该章节完整段落为：“知人者智，自知者明。胜人者有力，自胜者强。知足者富，强行者有志。不失其所者久，死而不亡者寿。”据此前报道，北京时间25日凌晨，在考虑了数周之后，自由球员詹姆斯终于做出了重要决定：他以两年800万美元底薪签约76人，其中第二年为球员选项。

B | 詹姆斯之所以如此决定，只是为了再夺一次总冠军。在费城，詹姆斯的队友包括恩比德、马克西、布朗等球星。这其中，与詹姆斯同属一家经纪公司的马克西在招募詹姆斯的过程中起到了重要作用。据了解，詹姆斯原本没有考虑76人，但在得知布朗被交易至此后，他开始将76人列为了考虑加盟的球队。詹姆斯说：“我这次不为金钱、不为家人，只为了总冠军。”詹姆斯的目标是帮助76人结束43年的无冠干涸期，就如同当年他带领骑士夺冠，结束骑士队史52年没有总冠军的历史一样。如果詹姆斯能够做到，那么他将再次改写历史。詹姆斯说：“在上赛季结束后，我认真考虑了是否结束自己的生涯，但我还是很喜欢比赛，很喜欢竞争，很喜欢经历磨难，我还想继续品尝总冠军的滋味。我相信自己在费城能够帮助76人成为一支总冠军球队。”
