Gas prices are down--When good news is seen as bad news by Dems

 Bob Hoge:

It’s good news for most Americans: gas prices are plummeting, and the trip to the pump just got a whole lot less painful. They’ve been coming down for four straight weeks:

...

To many people, gas prices hugely affect their lives and their wallets; during the height of Biden’s presidency, it was costing me $100 to fill my car. I dreaded going to the pump.

But as we say around here, “You can’t hate the media enough.” (All Townhall properties excluded, of course.) Leave it to the professional grumps to turn good news into bad. We certainly can’t report anything that might make Trump look good, right? 

Lower gas prices inevitably will lead to an economic crash, they grouse:

Falling prices at the pump may be seen as a win for Trump, but experts have warned that lower prices are not necessarily a good thing.

Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.com, said that lower gas prices "comes with strong warning signs." He added: "when the economy slows, gasoline demand drops."

Yes, the apocalypse is coming! God forbid you should be able to fill your tank without taking out a loan. Here’s another dour report titled “Gas prices drop with tariffs, but economic worries grow.”

...

I do not think gas prices are down because of lower demand.  They are down because the Trump administration has allowed increased production.  It was the Biden administration that drove up prices because of their "clamite change" hysteria and their attempt to limit production.  The fact is that many Democrats want higher gas prices and they are willing to restrict production to get them.  It is another reason why electing Democrats is a mistake.

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.
