Joe Biden's war on fossil fuels is hurting U.S. national security

Within an hour of his inauguration, Joe Biden started taking a torch to U.S. national security and U.S. prosperity. He did that by waging war on U.S. energy independence. That means Scranton Joe really doesn't care about blue collar workers. Years ago, Scranton Joe said that he didn't want George W. Bush to tell him what Bush's priorities were. Instead, he wanted Bush to show then-Sen. Biden his budget. From there, Joe said that he'd tell W what W's priorities were.

In his opening riff Wednesday, Larry Kudlow exposed Joe Biden's energy policies as identical to those of the Democrats' environmental activist wing. What the Democrats' environmental activists want, the Democrats give them.

What the U.S. hasn't figured out yet is that the Democrats' weak-on-fossil-fuels policies hike gas prices at home while strengthening Russia and Iran internationally. When the price for a barrel of oil spikes, Putin starts thinking 'Russian expansion'. When oil prices spike, Iran's terrorist proxies get more funding. What part of that sounds like a calm, stabilized Middle East? What part of that sounds like a stabilized Europe?

From Kudlow's riff:

This administration has at least temporarily ruined America’s great fossil fuel industry, the world's finest. Two years ago, we were virtually energy independent, producing over 13 million MBDs per day.

Today we're still stuck around 11 MBDs per day. Demand has recovered, but production has not. That is because from the very beginning of his presidency, Joe Biden and his far-left minions unceasingly attacked fossil fuels on a daily basis. In his first hour after inauguration, he ended the Keystone Pipeline.

Shutting down our own oil wells wasn't a mistake by Biden, at least in his mind. It's a feature. The high inflation that it created is the price he's willing to force us to pay for his ideology.

Kudlow finished his riff with this:

I know self-praise is no praise, but with an enormous sense of humility, I’m grateful to still be in this chair and thankful for your support, and you know what, folks? I've had a better year than Biden has.
This is his riff in video form:

Frankly, few people have had a more difficult year than 'Scranton Joe'. We started his administration with bullish economic growth, low inflation and energy independence. These days, inflation is spiking, economic growth is ok and energy independence is a thing of the past.

To use a phrase from Reagan's debate with Jimmy Carter, "a receession is when your neighbor loses his job, a depression is when you lose your job and the recovery starts when Jimmy Carter loses his job." In 2024, swap out Jimmy Carter's name and replace it with Joe Biden's name.

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...
