Joe Biden's gas price crisis

Joe Biden has a bunch of crises to deal with. Each is of his own creation. The border crisis is Biden's creation. It was stable under President Trump. Biden intentionally de-stabilized the border. The inflation crisis is Biden's creation. (Throw in an honorable mention to all the Democrats who voted for the massive spending bills.) Throw in the baby formula crisis, which started with Abbott, then metastasized when the FDA ignored the problem until it turned into a crisis.

Inflation is a crisis that's the biggest  problem in the nation. Whether you're in the desert southwest, the Pacific Northwest, the Plains States the Upper Midwest, the Great Lakes States, the Rust Belt, New England, the Bible Belt or the eastern seaboard, inflation is a crisis.

In California, inflated gas prices are a crisis. In California, gas prices rose 19 cents a gallon last week to  bring the statewide average above $6.00:

Gasoline prices statewide surged 19 cents in one week to top $6 a gallon here Wednesday, with analysts warning that California’s record prices could soar higher still and spread to the rest of the country.

It’s not much better nationwide, where all 50 states for the first time ever hit an average price above $4 a gallon. Democrats know they’re in trouble heading into the midterms and are promising to do everything they can to ease the pain at the pump. So far, it’s more talk than results-driven action.

President Biden weeks ago predicted gas prices would soon ease in response to steps he took, including a decision to release 180 million barrels of oil from the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve over the next six months. But prices have continued to rise, and Democrats haven’t budged off their talking points – blaming the record gas prices on the three Ps: the pandemic, Putin, and price-gouging.
Democrats remind me of people that my dad warned me about. He'd tell me that "Stupidity is what gets you in trouble. Pride is what keeps you there." The last Democrats with intellectual heft left government in 2001. Bill Clinton and Daniel Patrick Moynihan were men of intellectual heft. Joe Biden isn't a man of integrity or intellectual heft.

While Whoopi Goldberg thinks that Biden is blameless on high gas prices, Joe Concha set the record straight in this interview:

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...
