Biden and his administration lie about their responsibility for restricting oil and gas production

 Nick Arama:

...

The Energy Committee put Haaland on the spot: Biden claims that he’s doing everything he can, so what exactly is he doing?

Haaland and her deputy Tommy Beaudreau claimed they were working on a five-year plan.
...

The Chair of the Committee, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) pulled out an announcement from the Interior Department which he said had just been issued to not agree to any new leases. So, it looks like you’re going to shut everything down, Manchin said to her.
...

That left Haaland stuttering and unable to respond. “My God,” Manchin said. “It shuts it down. It shows what your intent is.”

So, not only don’t they have their plan ready when they were supposed to have it in hand, it sounds like the true plan is to shut everything down.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden is ridiculously reaching out to Venezuela, when we could produce more oil here — if only Biden allowed it

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) asked Haaland a simple question: whether it was more environmentally friendly for Venezuela to produce oil and gas or us to do so?
...

The answer is a simple one — it’s more environmentally friendly for us to do it. But she doesn’t want to say that–maybe because even the climate excuse doesn’t justify them going around producing it in the U.S. to reach out to Venezuela? But her answer is “I’m not an economist” or a “scientist.” Seriously, how incompetent can she be? She’s not an economist, like Ketanji Brown Jackson isn’t a biologist, so she can’t tell us what a woman is.

Haaland couldn’t even answer some basic questions without aides desperately slipping answers to her during the hearing.
...

This administration is deliberately restricting the production of energy in the US and because the polls show Americans are angry about the resulting increase in the price of gas they are looking for a man behind a tree to blame.  The police of the Biden administration is a disgrace and so are the people responsible for it.

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
