Fine by me, next election even the idiots will think. If xiden did nothing from day 1 we would be fat.

Those POS's are believing in the garbage being pushed by the media, its Russia's fault.

I am much of your opinion, but if those bastards starve, We will too.Looks like I'm going to get my wish 5 bucks plus for a gallon of gas. GOOD those that voted for the pos bastard can starve for all I care! With luck we will go on water and energy hours!
Those who voted for Joe Biden made a horrible mistake and the real problem is not that they made this mistake. They are still too stupid to realize the mistake they made.
The Democrat party is going to take an ass whipping in 2022 . we hope, and what are they doing to avoid it?
Doubling down on all of the BS that will beat them.
But at least we don't have Putin's lackey Orange Man Bad making mean tweets.
Has anyone projected what the change in the Senate could be? The swing in seats is usually not that great considering only 1/3 are up for reelection.
It could change right now with the vision of Manchin sitting with the republicans at the SOTU.

U.S. National Average Price Of Gasoline Hits New All-Time Record High, Report Says
GasBuddy, a platform that collects data on fuel prices to save consumers money, added that the price of diesel was “likely to break the record of $4.846 per gallon in the next two weeks.”
“In addition to setting a new all-time high, the national average is seeing its largest ever 7 day spike: 49.1 cents per gallon, eclipsing the 49.0 cent weekly rise after Hurricane Katrina in 2005,” the company’s statement continued. “On Saturday, the U.S. national average gas price surpassed $4 per gallon for the first time since 2008, and Friday’s spike alone came close to the record daily rise of 18 cents per gallon, increasing nearly 16 cents per gallon in one day. Diesel prices, however, did break records on Friday, as diesel soared to its largest daily gain ever: 22.2 cents per gallon, 6 cents higher than the previous record from 2013.”
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said, “Americans have never seen gasoline prices this high, nor have we seen the pace of increases so fast and furious.”
Former NIH Director/New Biden Science Adviser Laughs Over Threatening Unemployment to Force Vaccines, Blames Trump For Covid Deaths
But a leaked audio recording obtained by The Daily Wire calls Collins’ claims of political neutrality into question.
[clip]
In a summary for the American Enterprise Institute, legal scholar Sean Trende called the ruling a “previously obscure 116-year-old precedent [that] barely warrants a footnote in most constitutional law treatises.” But he noted that non-experts have taken to citing it “whenever anyone questions the legality or constitutionality of vaccine mandates in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.” Collins referenced it in just this fashion at the Institute of Politics engagement, telling the students that because of Jacobsen, “There’s no question in my mind that the mandates are legal.”
He then argued that intimidation tactics should be used to motivate the resistant to take the vaccine.
“The US government does have the authority to mandate vaccinations if there is an outbreak that is threatening people, because it’s not just about you, it’s about the people you’re going to infect,” Collins claimed, even though science journals were already reporting by that point that vaccinated people were just as likely to spread the then-dominant Delta variant as those who were unvaccinated.
Collins went on to ask rhetorically, “Do [mandates] convince people who otherwise wouldn’t get them?” He answered himself, “Oh yeah, especially if it means losing your job.”
As evidence, he described how successful the threat of unemployment was at persuading vaccine-hesitant NIH employees and contractors to get vaccinated. When Collins made it clear to the 2,000 out of 46,000 workers who had still declined to take the jabs that they were “in serious danger of being fired in the next month if they [didn’t] do something about it,” Collins said he got a “big response.”
“Reality [was] sinking in,” he explained, so that even the “pretty darn resistant” elected to get vaccinated. He then chuckled, “You get the feeling that their resistance was not maybe quite that deeply seated,” and he speculated that deep down, many unvaccinated people may actually want to get the vaccine but resist doing so out of peer pressure. “They’re sort of thinking to themselves, you know, maybe I really should do it, but if I do, I lose my credibility with my peeps,” Collins said.
Evangelicals: Who Are The Good & The Bad?
In my circles, there has been a lot of discussion about Megan Basham’s big piece about how the federal government used some high-profile Evangelical leaders to spread government information — and misinformation — about Covid to the broader Evangelical community. (If you don’t have a Daily Wire account, the piece has been reprinted here, available to all.)
As regular readers will know, I am not an anti-vaxxer, but this is genuinely a disturbing piece. The gist of it is that the feds leveraged the high status the Evangelical scientist Francis Collins has with Evangelical influencers to sell the government’s Covid line to Evangelical churches. Basham begins by citing Wheaton College’s Ed Stetzer, a dean and executive director of its Billy Graham Center, giving a friendly interview to Collins early in the pandemic:
Biden’s feckless energy policy is only getting worse — and he can’t blame Putin
Meanwhile, the White House is pretending that Putin’s war is the only cause of the crisis, ignoring the fact that energy prices started soaring as soon as Biden took office and declared war on the US fossil-fuel industry: shutting down pipelines, denying new drilling permits and promising a renewed regulatory and tax attack on any who dare to drill.
Team Biden and Democrats like New York’s Gov. Kathy Hochul are also frowning on suggestions to suspend taxes on gasoline, home-heating oil and the like — though federal, state and local levies accounted for 22% of pump prices pre-war.
In other words, a nationwide suspension of gas taxes would do a whole lot more for hard-hit consumers than Biden’s farcical release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve: Even with other nations joining in, that’s less than two days’ global supply, offering a best brief relief.
Democrats inevitably say that unleashing US drillers won’t have an immediate impact. That’s only partly true, since markets respond fast to a changing outlook. Plus, many companies know where they’d like to move next, and would move rapidly if they believed the target was off their back.
To call this nonsense on stilts is to undersell the stilts. Yes, oil is a global commodity, and yes, price is conditioned on supply, but increased American production of oil would impact its global price. Adding supply to a constant demand lowers prices, while artificially tamping down supply as demand increases creates the wild price hikes we’re seeing now. The ongoing supply-chain crisis and rapidly increasing inflation demonstrates rather neatly what happens when demand increases and supply declines. Of course, the Biden administration has been botching that for months, too.
However, the White House certainly knows better when it comes to oil. Why does Singh think that Biden’s begging Nicolas Maduro and Mohammed bin Salman to increase their production levels and exports to the US? Why does Singh think that Pete Buttigieg declared that Iranian oil imports were “on the table” to deal with rapidly escalating oil prices?
Answer: Biden needs more supply to drive down prices at the gas pump, which will eventually damage the political prospects of Democrats. Biden desperately wants more supply — but doesn’t want it from America. The damage done by high gas prices doesn’t come from the delayed embargo on Russian oil, but from a firm refusal to return to the policies of scalable oil and natural gas production that turned the US into a net exporter under Donald Trump.
