Biden's war on US energy

 Daniel Turner:

How Biden made the energy crisis worse
He’s incapable of realizing that he’s the problem

 During the course of my daily media interviews, one of the most frequent questions I hear is, “when will things get better?” Being the bearer of bad news is frustrating, but unfortunately that’s all I see for the next few years. Following the basic laws of economics, energy prices can only come down based on two factors: increase the supply or decrease the demand.

...

Instead of increasing US production and removing his restrictions on offshore drilling and drilling in Alaska, he burnt fuel in Air Force One to go beg the Saudis to increase production.  But the Saudis and the Russians are some of the chief beneficiaries of Biden's cut in US production which drove up the price of oil and increased their profits.

Biden economic adviser: Of course we're disincentivizing oil and gas production!

 

Old and busted: The oil industry won’t produce gasoline because of profiteering! New hotness: We won’t let them invest in more production because of our incredible transition from fossil fuels!

We knew this already, of course, thanks to Joe Biden’s EO 13990, his repeated pledges to end fossil fuel use, and his promoting the “incredible transition” that high gas prices will supposedly facilitate. It’s intentional, and Biden energy adviser Amos Hochstein admits it (transcript via Townhall)....

...

It is a deliberate policy by Biden and the Dems to inflict pain on American drivers.

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...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
