National gas prices higher than Biden says

 Daily Caller:

The national average price of gas did not reach $5 until June 2022 under the Biden administration, and it remained under $3 for the entirety of the Trump administration, according to GasBuddy.

The Head of Petroleum Analysis at GasBuddy, Patrick De Haan, told the Daily Caller the average price of gas when Biden took office Jan. 18 was $2.38.

The Biden administration has made misleading statements about gas in previous months, using the “most common” price metric instead of the national average price of gas. Although the “most common” price is accurate, it does not account for what most Americans are paying at the pump. (RELATED: Biden Admin Keeps Pushing Misleading Gas Prices)

Biden and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre both stressed $3.49 as the “most common” price of gas Monday, despite the national average being $3.79 that day, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA).

Fifteen states had average prices at or below $3.49 a gallon Monday. California had the highest average of $5.75 the same day, according to AAA.

The administration also claimed earlier in October that $3.29 was the “most common price at gas stations,” but 39 states in the country had average gas prices above that number during that time frame. (RELATED: White House Misleads Americans With Claim About Gas Prices)

The national average is currently higher than the “most common” price “because the national average has been ‘pulled up’ by regions that experienced refinery outages and skyrocketing prices in September,” De Haan told the Caller.

The price in this part of Texas is cheaper than the national average.  I paid $3.11 a gallon today.  California has fewer refineries and it also requires a specail blend which drives up the cost.

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
