Biden Admin Has Issued Lowest Amount of Offshore Oil Permits in Almost 20 Years

The Biden administration has approved a record low number of permits for new offshore oil wells since 2005, according to E&E News.

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), a subagency of the Department of the Interior (DOI), approved 105 applications for permit to drill (APDs) combined in 2021 and 2022, President Joe Biden’s first two years in office, compared to 148 in former President Donald Trump’s first two years and 275 in the first two years of the Obama administration, according to E&E News. The Biden administration has described itself as responsible for the aggressive climate agenda in U.S. history, establishing goals to have the U.S. energy sector reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2035 and the overall economy achieve net-zero by 2050.

The Biden administration’s policies “make it more difficult to substantiate the long-term, capital-intensive investments required for production in the Gulf of Mexico,” Holly Hopkins, vice president of Upstream Policy for the American Petroleum Institute, told E&E News. “This is a concerning trend for the future of American energy security.”

The overall trend of the annual numbers of APDs has been one of decline since the 381 granted in 2006 by the Bush administration, according to E&E News. (Read more from “Biden Admin Has Issued Lowest Amount of Offshore Oil Permits in Almost 20 Years” HERE)

Dem Rep. Refuses to Condemn Beheadings of Israeli Babies When Confronted by Media (VIDEO)

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who has an extensive history of anti-Semitism, refused to condemn the beheadings of Israeli babies on Tuesday when confronted by a reporter on Capitol Hill.

Tlaib’s silence comes as Israeli officials confirmed Wednesday morning local time that more than 1,200 Israelis were murdered by Palestinian terrorists during the unprecedented attacks over the weekend. Fourteen Americans were also murdered.

Tlaib, who is Palestinian-American, blamed Israel for the terrorist attacks in a statement put out by her office, saying, “The path to the future must include lifting the blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance.”

When Tlaib was confronted by a television crew on Tuesday evening, she ran and refused to answer any questions.

“Congresswoman, Hamas terrorists have cut off babies’ heads and burned children alive; do you support Israel’s right to defend themselves against this brutality?” the reporter asked.

Biden Official Refuses to Say Nuclear War Is More Dangerous Than Climate Change (VIDEO)

White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby refused to say this week that nuclear war is more dangerous to humanity than climate change.

Kirby made the remarks, or a lack thereof, during an interview on Fox News with Martha MacCallum as war rages in Europe between Russia and Ukraine and has exploded in the Middle East as Iranian-backed Islamic terrorist groups launched an unprecedented terrorist attack against Israel. . .

“The only existential threat humanity faces even more frightening than a nuclear war is global warming going above 1.5 degrees in the next 20 — 10 years,” the 80-year-old president claimed.

MacCallum asked, “Given all the nuclear players in these two areas where we are now engaged on, does the president stand by that comment?”

“Absolutely he does. Climate change is an existential threat,” he claimed. “It could, it actually threatens, is capable [of] wiping out all human life on earth over time. I mean, that’s, I don’t know how more existential you can get to that. But that doesn’t mean that we walk away from our obligations, our national security interests in very dangerous parts of the world.” (Read more from “Biden Official Refuses to Say Nuclear War Is More Dangerous Than Climate Change” HERE)

Biden-Appointed Prosecutor Ignored Potential Conflict of Interest in Hunter Biden Case, Testimony Shows

Biden-appointed U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves does not believe he had a conflict of interest by playing a role in the Hunter Biden investigation.

Graves testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Oct. 3 and rejected the notion that his appointment by President Biden, work on Biden’s presidential campaign and donations to Biden posed a conflict of interest with his role in the Hunter Biden case, according to a transcript of his testimony reviewed by the Daily Caller.

Graves clarified that he was on an unpaid committee role for the Biden campaign and donated money to the campaign. He downplayed his communications with the Biden campaign when he took on the unpaid policy role.

“So I knew someone who had some affiliation to the campaign; said that I was interested in criminal justice issues. I got put on this committee, and my responsibilities, being on this committee, consisted of receiving emails from the committee that anybody basically, almost anybody who contributed. I had no direct interaction … or in direct interaction with anybody on the campaign,” Graves said.

Report: Israeli Soldiers Find Dead Babies After Palestinian Hamas Attack

Israeli soldiers discovered dead babies after the Palestinian Hamas invasion of the nation that began Saturday, i24news correspondent Nicole Zedeck recounted.

“I’m talking to some of the soldiers and they say what they’ve witnessed as they’ve been walking through these different houses, these different communities,” Zedeck reported in the town of Kfar Aza, Israel, which is located near the border of the Gaza Strip. Kfar Aza is a small town located in southern Israel between Netivot and Sderot.

“Babies, their heads cut off. That’s what they said,” she recalled. “Gunned down families — completely gunned down in their beds.” . . .

He later showed Israeli Major General Itai Veruv on air, who said:

What I saw, hundreds of terrorists in full armor, full gear, with all the equipment and all the ability make a massacre. Go from apartment to apartment, from room to room and kill babies, mothers, fathers in their bedrooms… They locked themselves in the protection rooms of their houses and people were out with their children and they killed them. They killed babies in front of their parents, and then killed the parents. They killed parents and we found babies between the dogs and the family killed before him. They cut heads of the people.

WATCH: Parents Beat Naked Man Accused of Trying to Touch Children at JCPenney

A man was recorded walking naked through the aisles of a Seattle-area department store as several adults tried to corral him.

The group of adults were reportedly parents who eventually attacked the man they accused of attempting to touch children, the New York Post reported.

According to the Daily Mail, the incident happened at a JCPenney store in Tukwila, a city south of Seattle, Washington.

In the video footage, the naked man is seen being confronted by another man wearing a brown jacket, light-colored pants, and a tan-colored hat.

Moments later, another man, wearing a striped shirt, follows the pair deeper into the store as the naked man walks backwards, apparently trying to escape:

Terrorism: Black Lives Matter Supports Hamas Amid Terror Attack on Israel

Black Lives Matter Grassroots organization showed support for the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Tuesday as the terrorist group launched the deadliest attack on Jewish people since the Holocaust.

Black Lives Matter Grassroots, which represents 26 local BLM chapters across the country, issued a lengthy statement “in solidarity with the Palestinian people.”

Hamas launched a terror attack on Israel from Gaza over the weekend on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret, the final day of the annual High Holy Day cycle. The attack has resulted in over 900 deaths and at least 2,500 wounded, according to the latest reports. At least 11 Americans were also killed during the violent terror attacks.

The statement references the violent attacks on Israel as an understandable “desperate act of self-defense.”

Amazon Alexa Tells Users the 2020 Presidential Election Was ‘Stolen by a Massive Amount of Election Fraud’ Causing Bezos’ Empire to Scramble to Explain Content

Amazon’s Alexa has told users that the 2020 presidential election was ‘stolen by a massive amount of election fraud’ causing Jeff Bezos’ empire to scramble to explain the concerning content.

An investigation by the Washington Post showed when the devices were asked if the election was stolen, they would cite unproven facts and say that electoral fraud had taken place.

The Alexa said it was ‘stolen by a massive amount of election fraud,’ while citing Rumble, a right-wing video streaming site.

Amazon did not say why the machines use information from unvetted sources when answering questions posed by users.

In another instance, Alexa cited Substack and said the race was ‘notorious for many incidents of irregularities and indications pointing to electoral fraud taking place in major metro centers.’ (Read more from “Amazon Alexa Tells Users the 2020 Presidential Election Was ‘Stolen by a Massive Amount of Election Fraud’ Causing Bezos’ Empire to Scramble to Explain Content” HERE)

Biden Admin’s Lies About Aid to Gaza Are Totally Unbelievable

By Townhall. White House aides spent the weekend crying about “misinformation” from those critical of the Biden administration’s decision to unfreeze $6 billion for Iran — the financial and often strategic backer of Hamas and other anti-Israel terrorist organizations — as well as seeking to dispel talk that “aid” money Biden sent to Gaza boosted Hamas terrorists. . .

But that’s a lie. The Biden administration did know that such aid — as they admitted in internal documents — came with a “high risk” that Hamas would benefit as a result.

According to reporting from The Washington Free Beacon’s Adam Kredo in August, the outlet obtained internal documents that showed the Biden administration “pushed through plans to distributed hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer aid” to areas controlled by Hamas “despite internal assessments that those plans could boost the Iran-backed terrorist group.”

The Real Problem Is Elon Letting People See What Hamas Videotaped Themselves Doing

By Hot Air. If you thought that the greatest sin committed this weekend was when Palestinian assassins of every stripe walked, drove, and glided into Israel for murder, mayhem, kidnapping, and rape, you’d be wrong. . .

If you thought watching blissful rave dancers in the gloaming, exuberantly living life and then noticed the ominous…what, like birds? Dark shapes drifting and shifting, coming ever closer, but still out of focus in the sky beyond them.

At last realizing those were Palestinian motorized paragliders with a mass murderer a piece aboard. . .

In hindsight knowing now what they are, you might feel this is one of the most ghastly things you’d ever seen. . .

When even a hardened, reflexive anti-MAGA, anti-rightwing, anti-conservative critic like Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL is heartsick. Shaken and angered to his very soul by what has happened – the enormity of the horror – and furious at what he is hearing… (Read more from “The Real Problem Is Elon Letting People See What Hamas Videotaped Themselves Doing” HERE)

Disgraced CIA Director Calls for Senator Tuberville’s Assassination

Former CIA Director Michael Hayden on Monday suggested that Sen. Tommy Tuberville be removed from the “human race” over his blockade of military confirmations.

The shocking suggestion from the retired US intelligence official came in response to a question from a user on the social media platform X, who asked if Tuberville (R-Ala.) should be “removed from his committee.”

“How about the human race?” Hayden replied.

Some on social media accused the former top CIA official of calling for Tuberville’s “assassination.”

“Former CIA Director Michael Hayden calls for the assassination of Sen. Tuberville because the senator is performing desperately needed oversight of the U.S. Military,” Mollie Hemingway, editor in chief of the Federalist, said in a tweet.
