TIPP Poll results: Drill, Baby, Drill

When you look at some polls, you just know that they're worthless. Others, like this I&I-TIPP poll, seem bulletproof. The chief conclusion in the TIPP Poll is that "Americans overwhelmingly answer yes, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.

The poll "asked 1,359 adults the following question: 'What should government do to alleviate the diesel shortage?' The online I&I/TIPP Poll, taken from Nov. 2-4, has a margin of error of +/-2.8 percentage points."

According to the article:

Respondents were given, in order, the following possible responses. Responses 1 to 4 were randomized to avoid any order bias:
  1. "Encourage more drilling and refining of oil."
  2. "Keep imposing strict limits on carbon-based fuels to reduce climate change."
  3. "Return to the rules and standards for energy production that prevailed in 2020."
  4. "Tax oil companies if they don’t produce more oil."
  5. "Do nothing."
  6. "Not sure."
Here are the results:
Americans mostly favored No. 1, encourage more drilling and refining of oil to boost diesel and other fuel supplies. It garnered an overall response of 39%. A close second, at 36%, was "Return to the rules and standards for energy production that prevailed in 2020."
That's 75% of the people who want to return to Trump-era policies or who want a robust energy production plan. It was 14 years ago when former House Speaker Newt Gingrich came up with a plan that he titled "Drill here, drill now, pay less." Here's that video:

That's a catchy way of saying 'Increase supply and lower prices' or saying 'the right amount of dollars chasing the right amount of goods = lower inflation.'

The American people aren't PH.D.-level economists but they know the law of supply-and-demand.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
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
