CBS slept through Biden's war on energy and now blames Ukraine for high prices

 DailyWire:

CBS News was clobbered with criticism online after the news organization posted a tweet ridiculed as “propaganda” seemingly conflating President Joe Biden’s economic troubles from the start of his presidency with repercussions from the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

“The U.S. economy has been hit with increased gas prices, inflation, and supply-chain issues due to the Ukraine crisis,” CBS News captioned a post.
...

The tweet was notably published mere hours after President Biden gave a speech telling Americans to buckle up for coming economic hardship, likely as a result of coming sanctions against Russia.

“As we respond, my administration is using every tool at our disposal to protect American businesses and consumers from rising prices at the pump,” Biden said, The Daily Wire reported. “As I said last week, defending freedom will have costs for us as well, here at home. We need to be honest about that.”

“But as we will do — but as we do this, I’m going to take robust action and make sure the pain of our sanctions is targeted at the Russian economy, not ours,” the president continued. “We are closely monitoring energy supplies for any disruption. We’re executing a plan in coordination with major oil-producing consumers and producers toward a collective investment to secure stability and global energy supplies.”

The CBS post was quickly mocked online.

“Umm no,” said RedState’s Bonchie. “That all existed before.”

Posobiec added another tweet showing the rise in gasoline prices during Biden’s presidency, preceding coming sanctions.

“New scapegoat just dropped,” said political commentator and education policy strategist Angela Morabito.

The chart totally exposes the CBS lie to cover up for Biden's deliberate effort to raise the price of gas.  Apparently, CBS editors are also not familiar with the stickers people have been putting on gas pumps for months with Biden pointing at the price of fule and saying "I did that." 

If they were really paying attention they could point to Biden financing the Putin aggression by driving up the price of fuel worldwide which benefited Putin and helped to pay for his war against Ukraine.  CBS editors need to get out of the New York bubble.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
