Biden's energy policy facilitated Russia's war in Ukraine

 Washington Examiner:

Europe needs more American oil and gas, not windmills and rainbows

To hear White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki tell it, the United States can reduce the world's energy dependence on Russia by installing solar panels and perhaps re-insulating homes.

President Joe Biden began his term in office with a moratorium on new oil and gas leases on federal land. He need only take his boot off the industry's neck in order to produce much-needed energy given Russia's long-expected invasion of Ukraine last week. But on ABC's This Week, when asked about a possible push to produce more oil and gas in the U.S., Psaki dismissed the matter as irrelevant.

...

This is unvarnished idiocy.  In fact, Europe is now having to continue to feed the Russian war machine by relying on Russian energy. 

Price spikes in Europe keep Russian energy sanctions off the table for now

European energy prices have risen 335% over the last year and 26% over the last five days, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday, which is a major reason that major energy sanctions haven't been imposed against Russia so far.

...

Biden also aided and abetted the Russian war effort by driving up the price of oil when he reduced US production.  This war is as much on him as it is on Putin.  By making a war on "climate change" Biden funded Putin's war.  It became even more likely after Biden's Afghan fiasco.  

Russian oligarchs are paying a price for the war as are ordinary citizens who are making a run on ATM machines.

This suggests Ukraine air force is not capable of bombing the convoy.

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
