Biden energy policy a key factor in inflation

 Daily Caller:

CNBC editor Rick Santelli unloaded on the Biden administration on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Friday morning, saying anti-fossil fuel policies helped to spur inflation.

“What was the forward guidance with this administration on energy?” Santelli asked. “We know the answer. Maybe they can’t get things to happen faster, but by giving positive forward guidance, by not closing pipelines, by not talking pre-election about how much they don’t like fossil fuel, maybe things would have turned out a bit different.” (RELATED: ‘Get Back In Your Lane’: Tucker Carlson Slams Yellen For Focus On Global Warming, Gun Crime Amid ‘Imploding’ Economy)

The Biden administration revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline in January 2021 and canceled plans for offshore lease sales in May. Many experts argued that the Biden administration’s disincentivizing of oil and gas production caused the higher prices.
...

“I will say that out of all of the above, energy, energy, energy,” Santelli said about the cause of inflation as the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday that the Consumer Price Index hit 8.6%, its highest level since 1981. Gas prices surged above $5 a gallon Thursday, according to GasBuddy.
...

This is something I have been saying for some time and finally, others are getting the point. Biden is driving up the cost of producing goods and services and getting things to market with his anti-energy policy "transition."  Democrats should have to pay a political price for their energy nonsense.

The AP tries to explain it but they mostly ignore Biden's idiotic energy policy which is the primary problem.

The libs continue to excuse Biden's war against domestic production which is the primary reason s for the gas price increase and for funding Putin's war in Ukraine.

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
