Biden blatantly lies about gas prices

 Matt Margolis:

...

Biden had previously resisted calls to ban Russian oil because, thanks to Joe Biden, our domestic oil production has been hampered, and 10% of oil imports come from Russia. A disruption of those imports will inevitably cause gas prices to skyrocket.

Of course, this is why Biden is trying to create the narrative that Putin is to blame for gas prices being so high.

“Putin’s war is already hurting American families at the gas pump. Since Putin began his military buildup on Ukrainian borders — just since then — the price of gas at pumps in America went up 75 cents. And with this action it’s going to go up further,” Biden said. “I’m going to do everything I can to minimize Putin’s price hike here at home.”

...

“Putin’s price hike?” Oh, that’s adorable. Does Joe Biden think that we’ve forgotten that, while gas prices have spiked since Russia invaded Ukraine, they’ve actually been going up steadily since after the 2020 election?

Spoiler alert: We haven’t.

Biden not only knew that gas prices would spike if Russia invaded Ukraine, but he made no meaningful effort to thwart the invasion. In fact, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blames Biden for allowing Russia to invade. On Saturday, Zelenskyy told members of Congress that “If [the United States] had started sanctions months ago, there would not have been war.”

...

Biden deliberately raised the price of oil and gas and he also went along with attempts by the left to block investments in oil and gas drilling.  He was all-in on the climate kooks' Green New Deal.  He actually blocked drilling on federally control sites and also blocked pipelines that are the safest and most efficient way of getting oil to market. Before he limited the supply of oil and gas, Russia and OPEC had to drop their prices.  Those prices did not go up until Biden limited the US supplies.

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

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
