Biden Admin Addresses Fuel Shortages by Banning New Oil, Gas Leases on NM Federal Land


Fuel prices are one of the causes of the Biden inflation surge that is reducing the spending power of Americans. The price of crude oil has surged 104% over the past year, and gasoline prices have increased by over 60%. This means that people are not only paying more for their personal fuel needs, but also for other items they need to buy that require energy to manufacture and/or transport—which is basically everything.

The Biden Administration has been begging OPEC+ nations to up their oil production, hoping they will increase the market supply and lower prices. But the oil-producing cartel has rebuffed their pleas, choosing instead to stick to its own schedule and delay output increases until December.

“OPEC+ seems unwilling to use the capacity and power it has now at this critical moment of global recovery for countries around the world,” stated a National Security Council spokesperson to FOX Business.

How cruel! Can you imagine having the ability to relieve the inflation and economic pain being suffered by millions of people, yet refusing to use your power to help? What heartless governing body would do such a thing?

If you guessed the Biden Administration, you win a cigar!

‘Dirty little secret’: MSNBC anchor claims Americans can afford more expensive groceries


“The dirty little secret here, Willie, while nobody likes to pay more, on average, we have the money to do so,” she told host Willie Geist.

“Household savings hit a record high over the pandemic, we didn’t really have anywhere to go out and spend.”

Inflation continued to surge last month with the Consumer Price Index, which measures a basket of goods and services as well as energy and food costs, jumping 6.2 percent in October from a year earlier, the Labor Department said Friday.

It marks the fifth straight month inflation has surged more than 5 percent, year over year, under President Biden — with prices rising more than expected.

Stephanie ought to STFU and ask the peeps that continued to work and pay their bills during the pandemic, so that the gov't could give our tax dollars out to people who didn't want to work. I personally know someone who was called back to a good paying job in construction, that was looking for any out they could find, not to have to go back to work. If I could sleep with my choices, I could've made bank.

I too have worked through the pandemic. And what savings I do have, should not have to off-set the inflation that has been pushed to deplete my resources.

If I may ...

Don't forget the over 42 million people that got a 25% increase from FJB in their SNAP, (aka, food stamps), EBT grocery spending card. Doubt they are complaining. I fact, I bet some of them are eating a good thick rib-eye steak tonight.

The Liberal Media Knows Who's to Blame for Biden's Inflation Crisis









You're attacking the American family for…buying milk. And then, there's this insane pivot that the inflation crisis is good, that the economy is actually booming, and that this could be a good thing since Europe doesn't consume as much. That doesn't work for most Americans. In fact, it's a narrative that is classically tailored to the wealthiest and most privileged in America: White college-educated and urban-based liberals.

No one thinks like this outside of the cities. No one. People need to eat. People need food shelves stocked. Americans drink milk. Not everyone (most Americans cannot) afford the vegan, all-organic white woman nonsense that liberal America wants all of us to adapt on a widespread basis. The beyond meat crap—everything is just not feasible. It's also an elitist activity. It's "first-world problems" for sure regarding red meat consumption. It's truly a privilege to be vegetarian when most of the world would die of starvation without eating animals.

So, yes—bash the three-fourths of the country for going to the grocery store. That'll win more votes. That'll save the Democratic majority in Congress. That'll really fix the Democrats' ongoing issue with connecting to people who aren't like them. And I don't know if they notice this, but most of the country isn't like them. They're the minority, and that will always remain because we're not a nation founded by communists. The rigidity of white liberals is beyond absurd, and if you don't agree with them, you're branded as a neo-Nazi.

What a total crock. I've always been amazed at the scope of stock in every type of Norwegian supermarket and "Walmart-equivalnet" chain superstores.

Biden’s Handlers Activate Hideout Plan for POTUS for Reason That Should Concern Everyone



Such has been the case this week, where the so-called traditional “Three Amigos” press conference with Biden, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador – which originally was scheduled for tomorrow in DC, per White House press secretary Jen Psaki last week – has been scrapped because Biden made a series of blunders in the span of 24-hours Tuesday that have staffers behind the scenes struggling to correct the record. Instead, there will be “pool sprays,” which as we’ve seen in the past often consist of Biden pretending not to hear a shouted question as he walks out of the room:

Biden, who turns 79 on Saturday, is known for going off-script and on Tuesday made imprecise remarks on Taiwan, the 2020 Olympics and his selection of a Federal Reserve chairman, forcing a mop-up operation by his spokespeople.
[…]
Justin Sink, a reporter for Bloomberg News, pressed [White House deputy press secretary Chris] Meagher on the reason for the change of plans. Pool sprays sometimes — but not always — feature questions from reporters. For example, Biden declined to take questions at a September pool spray in the Oval Office with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, even though the visiting leader chose to answer queries.
“If Jen said that this is going to happen and there’s long-standing precedent of this happening and the most recent data point is yesterday where you guys had to clean up not only this Olympic comment, but his comment on the timing for the Fed and his Taiwan comment, is the worry that you don’t want the president taking questions? And if not, I think the best way to satisfy that would be to have the president out there tomorrow,” Sink said.
Meagher deflected, saying “the president often takes questions throughout the course of the day.”

Biden calls out GM CEO Mary Barra for not paying enough taxes in tour of HER factory - then says his multi-trillion dollar spending plan WON'T make inflation and promises Walmart and Target will have full shelves this Xmas

• President Biden visited GM's 'Factory Zero' electric vehicle production plant in Detroit on Wednesday
• But he took a swipe at his host as he said big corporations and millionaires had to pay their fair share of tax
• 'Guess what? They ain't paying enough,' he said, before adding, 'Sorry, Mary.'
• Chief executive Mary Barra took home $23 million last year - 200 times the median income of its workers
• Biden also took a spin in a new electric Hummer vehicle as he pushed the benefits of zero-emissions vehicles
• He was there to celebrate his trillion dollar infrastructure bill which includes provisions for charging stations
• And he used his speech to again insist that his huge spending plans will not drive up inflation further

Nursing homes warn Build Back Better could have 'devastating impact' on labor shortages and force closures



The nation’s largest nursing home association is sounding the alarm on President Biden’s social spending package, saying it could have a "devastating impact" and force thousands of long-term care facilities to limit admissions or close their doors.

The American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL), which represents over 14,000 facilities housing millions of elderly individuals, said long-felt labor shortages in the industry will be exacerbated by two measures included in the Build Back Better plan.

One provision would require a registered nurse (RN) to be on hand 24 hours a day – a policy that officials say they have advocated for but need assistance to accomplish.

"We strongly support having an RN on staff in nursing homes 24-hours a day, as we originally proposed in our reform agenda earlier this year," AHCA/NCAL President and CEO Mark Parkinson said in a statement provided to Fox News. "However, current data shows that the nursing homes are facing the worst job loss among all health care providers."

"We’ve lost 221,000 jobs since the beginning of the pandemic, and recovery is a long way away," he added.

NYT contributor says inflation panic is 'driven by rich people flipping their s---' over devalued assets


"All the stuff you see about inflation in the news is driven by rich people flipping their crap because their parasitic assets aren’t doing as well as they’d like and they’re scared that unemployment benefits + stimmy checks + 15 minimum wage + labor shortage is why [just my thoughts]"

Jeong, a former Times editorial board member whose LinkedIn profile says she is currently an "editorial writer' for the paper, insisted it was "not me starting s--- on purpose with the inflation hysterics."

Jeong’s Twitter feed was filled with a host of messages that could be construed as racist and offensive. She compared "dumbass f-----g white people" to dogs, said that "old white men" were "lemmings," opined that white people would "go extinct soon," and used the hashtag #CancelWhitePeople.

"Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins," she wrote in 2014 before adding a paragraph claiming that "whiteness" resulted in being "awful."

The Biden Administration Just Forced Every American Town To Host Illegal Immigrants


The Biden administration recently turned nearly every community in America into an illegal alien sanctuary.

Under a new policy, federal immigration law enforcement is now largely prohibited from arresting criminal aliens in your neighborhood if you live near a playground, a recreation center, a school, a place of worship or religious study, a location that offers vaccinations (such as a pharmacy), a community-based organization, any location that hosts weddings (such as a civic center, hotel, or park), any location with a school bus stop, any place “where children gather,” and many more places that are common to most towns.

The scope is virtually limitless and prohibits all of the authorities of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), such as “arrests, civil apprehensions, searches, inspections, seizures, service of charging documents or subpoenas, interviews, and immigration enforcement surveillance.”

Joe Biden gets a close shave from Occam's razor




And now, because everyone notices and dislikes rising pump prices, Biden wants to persuade us saps to disregard Occam’s razor and believe corporate baddies are to blame, not his mismanagement and cheek-by-jowl adherence to the Left’s anti-energy agenda.

The reality is that Biden and his minions have waged war on domestic energy producers since his first day as president. Even now, he is doing his best to foist a comptroller of the currency onto the nation who explicitly calls for the ruin of oil companies, saying she wants them to “go bankrupt.”

Prices are soaring because demand outstrips supply, and several of the reasons can be laid at Biden’s door. He’s weakened the supply chain, discouraged domestic production in part by raising costs, and failed to persuade Russia, the Saudis, and others to bail him out with more output. (He begged them to increase production — another national embarrassment — which would substitute dirty overseas output for the world’s most regulated and cleanest production here at home. So much for concern about greenhouse gas emissions).

The problem for Biden is that sleight of hand, extra PR, and frantic communication efforts don’t fix underlying problems, as the Washington Examiner's Byron York recently noted . The administration can spin like a dreidel — goodness knows, it’s trying — but spin doesn’t change the facts.

Obscuring the real causes of rising prices won’t make prices come down or people feel them less. Saying inflation is a luxury concern and anyway is only temporary won’t make it so. Saying another $4 trillion of spending, much of it with borrowed money, will reduce price acceleration won’t achieve that end.

Texas Hospital Faces Closure Over COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate: CEO


If the mandate goes through, Brownfield Regional Medical Center CEO Jerry Jasper said that “20 percent of my, probably 20 to 25 percent of my staff will have to go away if that’s the case,” reported KCBD. Losing those workers, he said, would likely cause his hospital to shut down, and losing Medicare and Medicaid money isn’t an option either.

A White House stipulates that healthcare workers who work at hospitals and facilities that receive either Medicaid or Medicare funds will have to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

“It’s huge in our rural community as all the other rural communities. We all have high poverty levels and stuff like that, so a lot of Medicaid usage in our communities and stuff like that,” Jasper remarked to the station.

Another local hospital executive said that the mandate echoed Jasper’s sentiments.

“Well, it would be devastating for the community, frankly. We have a large percentage of our revenue that comes from Medicare, Medicaid, and those kinds of products,” Larry Gray, the CEO of the Seminole Hospital District, told the station.

While Gray said he encourages vaccines, mandates don’t work.
