Coons doesn’t think Putin and Jong Un should make a deal because one or both of them are devils, or something. He’s a theologian so don’t worry, it makes sense.
Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) warned of a “devil’s deal” between Moscow and Pyongyang as North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un traveled to Russia on Monday, a potential exchange that U.S. officials have warned would escalate tensions with the West.
“He’s desperate for more equipment, he’s desperate for more support,” Coons said on MSNBC Monday morning, referring to Putin’s war efforts. “North Korea has a very large arsenal of artillery, of materiel. So, they may well make a devil’s deal.”
That could include the Kremlin agreeing to provide more advanced technology to help Pyongyang build a nuclear-armed submarine or successfully launch intercontinental ballistic missiles, both which Kim “is eager to do,” the senator said.

Construction can proceed to build anaerobic digesters to recycle poultry wasteBioenergy Devco has the permits to construct a poultry waste recycling plant using four anaerobic digesters (four tanks shown) to produce natural gas and enriched soil for composting at the Seaford-area facility. After several years of review and hearings, Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control Secretary Shawn Garvin has approved permits associated with the expansion of Bioenergy Devco LLC’s Seaford facility. The expansion will enable the company to produce biogas at the company’s organic waste composting operation and begin recycling poultry waste.
A DNREC Secretary’s Order issued Sept. 6 authorizes Bioenergy Devco to construct an anaerobic digestion system, a wastewater pre-treatment system and a biogas upgrading plant. Devco currently accepts organic waste from poultry industry sources for composting.

The new Speaker did not show up for my committee’s meeting last night. Coming home from an extended vacation, sinuses became an issue.
Couldn’t even Zoom in, huh?
Nope. The “little people” get nada…
Me and just about everyone I know has a non-Covid cold this week.
