Biden's energy debacle

 Red States:

Joe Biden went to the Saudi government — the same government he termed a “pariah” — hat-in-hand to beg OPEC to pump more oil.

It was a an embarrassing display, especially when he tossed away our energy independence.

But not only did Biden’s begging not produce any real benefits, but OPEC has now decided to cut two billion barrels a day in production instead. And this is happening as gas prices have already started rising again in the United States.It’s also likely to worsen inflation once again. OPEC’s move is effectively giving the finger to Joe Biden.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made things worse by saying that it was clear that OPEC was “aligning with Russia.” I’m sure that’s going to work well for relations in the future. Biden just keeps digging that hole deeper.

This leaves Biden in a panic as to what to do. They had been planning to stop robbing the Strategic Petroleum Reserve on October 31, but now, they are going to continue to rob it.
...

There is plenty of oil in the US that could be produced if Biden would just get out of the way and allow production on US-controlled sites.  But he is too beholding to Big Green to produce American oil and gas.  If he would just return to the intelligent policies of the Trump administration there would be zero need to beg OPEC or Russia for oil and gas.  It is just idiotic to block drilling in the US and beg export countries.  The Biden approach actually increases pollution because foreign suppliers are not as careful as US producers and shipping oil from the middle east actually burns more oil.  The Biden approach to energy is totally nonsensical.

Biden's use of the petroleum reserve is totally irresponsible.  There is no logical reason to use a reserve when we could be producing our own oil in sufficient quantities to not only provide for our current needs but also refill the reserve he has been wasting.

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.
