OPEC+ toys with wimpy Joe Biden

Who could've predicted that OPEC+ and Russia might delay increasing oil production after Joe Biden announced he'd tap 50,000,000 barrels of oil from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve? A: The Wall Street Journal predicted it. Ditto with Forbes Magazine owner Steve Forbes. Ditto with Larry Kudlow, now the host of his own show on Fox Business.

This article reports "Top oil producers Saudi Arabia and Russia are considering pausing their planned efforts to ramp up oil production, according to The Wall Street Journal, after the U.S. and other energy-consuming countries said they would tap their national strategic petroleum reserves in an attempt to bring down gasoline prices." That's as surprising as finding out that the sun always rises in the east. If Joe Biden wasn't totally afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome, he likely wouldn't have demolished each of President Trump's successful policies.

Reversing this policy is exceptionally stupid. With it comes skyrocketing gas prices and super-expensive home heating bills this winter. With it comes inflation for every product that's trucked or shipped to stores. The Biden White House apparently doesn't understand the principle of supply-and-demand. Larry Kudlow understands it and gives the Biden administration a tongue-lashing in his opening riff:

This was Biden's statement the morning he tapped the SPR:
"The fact is we always get through those spikes but we’re going to get through this one as well as hopefully faster," Biden said in remarks from the White House on Tuesday, adding: "While our combined actions will not solve the problems of high gas prices overnight, it will make a difference. It will take time, but before long you should see the price of gas drop where you fill up your tank."
The US should be drilling to creating our own energy. I'm old enough to remember when US fossil fuel companies were producing more natural gas, oil and coal than we needed for our needs. That's when we exported oil and natural gas.

Interestingly, when we were exporting natural gas to Europe, Russia was on the defensive. Now that Biden has declared war on fossil fuels, Russia is threatening Ukraine again and partnering with China to strengthen Iran again. These policies have hurt families here in the US while strengthening our enemies internationally.

That's just plain stupid. I was told that electing Biden meant that the adults would be back in charge. Apparently, when Democrats said that adults would be in charge, they omitted the part about these adults being senile or having dementia.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
