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.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

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

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
