Thanks Biden: Gas Prices Soar Again (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The national average price for gas Tuesday was nearly $4 a gallon as Americans struggle under President Joe Biden’s (D) economy.

AAA’s gas tracking website recorded the day’s national average at $3.923. Monday’s average was $3.919, and a year ago it was recorded at $3.274.

In March, personal finance expert Dave Ramsey told Fox News lower income Americans are struggling financially, and, “They got hit with the pandemic now they’re getting hit with this Biden inflation at the gas pump. The gas pump is 100 percent on Biden’s desk. It’s 100 percent his fault.”

Meanwhile, experts say Biden will have drained the the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to a 40-year low at the end of this month, Breitbart News reported Thursday. (Read more from “Thanks Biden: Gas Prices Soar Again (VIDEO)” HERE)

FBI Brass Who Warned Facebook About Post’s Hunter Biden Laptop Reporting Were Democratic Donors: Records

/0 Comments/in , /by

Both FBI officials who briefed Facebook before the social media giant opted to censor The Post’s initial reporting on Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop made small-dollar donations to Democrats during the 2020 election cycle, according to campaign finance records and court filings.

An amended complaint released Monday by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s office says Laura Dehmlow, the section chief of the bureau’s Foreign Influence Task Force, and Elvis Chan, who manages the cyber branch of the FBI’s San Francisco field office, were “involved in the communications between the FBI and Meta that led to Facebook’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story.”

Federal Election Commission records show that Dehmlow and Chan donated a total of $160 to Democrats in 2020. Chan contributed $50 each to Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock for their Georgia Senate runoff campaigns in November of that year, while Dehmlow gave the Democratic National Committee $60 in $10 increments between March 30 and August 30. . .

The amended complaint was filed last week as part of an extensive lawsuit against the Biden administration by Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry. The top prosecutors have accused the Biden administration of leaning on big tech companies to censor so-called “misinformation” about a variety of topics, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 presidential election.

Dehmlow and Chan’s interactions with Facebook were not detailed in the court filings released Monday. However, the documents state that Chan “has openly boasted about his official role on behalf of FBI in coordinating with social-media companies.” (Read more from “FBI Brass Who Warned Facebook About Post’s Hunter Biden Laptop Reporting Were Democratic Donors: Records” HERE)

Biden Burns 3,866 Pounds of Jet Fuel Flying 72 Miles to Deliver Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden on Friday burned 3,866 lbs of jet fuel to fly 72 miles aboard Air Force One to deliver a speech in Hagerstown, Maryland.

Biden’s 40-minute flight to Hagerstown burned about 3,886 lbs of jet fuel as he traveled in a Boeing 757 aircraft, which burns roughly 5,800 lbs of fuel per hour if the aircraft is traveling at the average speed of 598 miles per hour at 35,000 ft, according to Aviation Insider. Biden’s trip to Maryland produced over 12,000 lbs of carbon dioxide (CO2), according to a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis.

Biden produced CO2 emissions equivalent to driving 13,678 miles in an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle, according to the Environmental Protection Agency’s emissions calculator. A 72-mile journey in the average passenger road vehicle would emit only 58 lbs of carbon emissions as the average car has a fuel efficiency of 24.2 miles per gallon, according to a DCNF analysis.

Disappointed Biden Searches for New Gas Price Message as Midterm Elections Loom

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden and top administration officials are seeking to downplay the decision from OPEC+ to cut daily oil production by 2 million barrels after steadily decreasing domestic gas prices boosted the president and Democrats’ electoral odds heading into the midterm elections.

The decision comes shortly after Biden traveled to Saudi Arabia, where the president met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and asked Saudi officials to ramp up production as a means of easing global energy prices amid the war in Ukraine.

Publicly, the White House is putting on a strong face in responding to the new cuts.

Biden himself told reporters Thursday that while his trip to Saudi Arabia “was not essentially for oil,” OPEC’s decision still comes as a “disappointment” and he thinks “there are problems” with the cuts.

“We are looking at alternatives,” the president added before departing heading to New York. “We haven’t made up our minds yet.” (Read more from “Disappointed Biden Searches for New Gas Price Message as Midterm Elections Loom” HERE)

Pompeo Rips Biden’s ‘Reckless’ Presidency as Trump Reminds America Biden Doesn’t Know How to Speak (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called out President Joe Biden for his Armageddon comments following Russia’s potential nuclear threat to the U.S.

Earlier this week, Biden said that he was not joking about a possible nuclear threat, adding that Russia would “easily use a tactical nuclear weapon and not end up with Armageddon.”

Calling Biden’s remarks “reckless,” Pompeo said that it was one of the “greatest foreign policy failures.”

“Oh my goodness. First of all those comments were reckless. I think that even more importantly, they demonstrate maybe one of the greatest foreign policy failures of the last decades, which was the failure to deter Vladimir Putin in the same way that the Trump administration did for four years,” Pompeo said during an interview on Fox News.

Pompeo criticized Biden’s lack of awareness when commenting, saying big news like that should not have been said randomly while speaking at a fundraiser event.

White House Walks Back Biden’s ‘Armageddon’ Remarks

/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House on Friday attempted to take the edge off President Biden’s warnings that the U.S. could soon face nuclear “Armageddon.”

Presidential press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre attempted to allay heightened fears when speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One, returning to the administration’s official mantra that the U.S. has no indication “that Russia is preparing to imminently use nuclear weapons.”

Mr. Biden “was reinforcing what he has been saying, which is how seriously we have taken these threats about nuclear weapons as we have done when the Russians have made these threats throughout the conflict,” she said. “The kind of rhetoric we have seen is no way for the leader of a nuclear-armed state to speak, and that’s what the President was making very clear.”

Still, Ms. Jean-Pierre reiterated that the U.S. does not assess that Russian President Vladimir Putin intends to launch nukes in the immediate future.

“As I said before, we have not seen any reason to adjust our own strategic nuclear posture,” she said. (Read more from “White House Walks Back Biden’s ‘Armageddon’ Remarks” HERE)

Biden Warns World Facing Nuclear ‘Armageddon’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden warned supporters on Thursday that the world is facing “Armageddon” due to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

The president compared his plight to that of former President John F. Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis with the Soviet Union.

“We have not faced the prospect of Armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis,” Biden told supporters at a Democratic fundraiser in New York City. . .

“First time since the Cuban Missile Crisis we have a direct threat of the use of nuclear weapons if, in fact, things continue down the path they are going,” he said. . .

“I don’t think there’s any such thing as the ability to easily [use] a tactical nuclear weapon and not end up with Armageddon.” (Read more from “Biden Warns World Facing Nuclear ‘Armageddon’” HERE)

Feds May Have ‘Sufficient Evidence’ to Charge Hunter Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

According to fresh reporting in The Washington Post on Thursday, federal investigators “believe” they have “sufficient evidence to charge” President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden with crimes related to his taxes and falsifying information related to a gun purchase. Citing “people familiar with the case,” WaPo says the “next step is for the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, a Trump administration holdover, to decide on whether to file such charges.”

As Townhall has previously reported, Hunter Biden’s taxes have been the subject of significant scrutiny since the president’s son discovered his finances were being investigated in December 2020. At the time, then-President-Elect Biden characterized the situation as “vicious personal attacks.” Not quite.

When he was made aware of the investigation into his finances, Hunter Biden said he was taking the matter “very seriously” but maintained his confidence “that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors.” Apparently that hasn’t been the case.

It turns out that Hunter Biden’s taxes were the subject of an inquiry even before the end of 2020, but the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, David Weiss, heeded advice from investigators to delay action in the federal probe “to avoid taking any actions that could alert the public to the existence of the case in the middle of a presidential election,” as Townhall reported.

Biden Issues Over 300K Smartphones With Tracking Devices to Illegal Aliens

/0 Comments/in , /by

More than 300,000 smartphones used to monitor illegal immigrants were given to noncitizens by the Biden administration last month, according to data collected by Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.

Issuing such cellular devices to illegal immigrants is part of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement program called the Alternatives to Detention, which essentially gives the individuals access to U.S. soil before their court dates.

The smartphones, which cost taxpayers $361,218.08 per day, use facial recognition, GPS monitoring, and voice identification, according to ICE.

Jon Feere, former DHS senior adviser and director of investigations at the Center for Immigration Studies, told the Free Beacon last month that the ATD program has already proven to be a “costly failure,” noting that thousands of illegal immigrants have disappeared annually.

Biden to Pardon All Federal Convictions for Marijuana Possession

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden will pardon everyone convicted on federal charges of simple marijuana possession, the White House announced Thursday, saying he intended to repair America’s “failed approach” to the drug.

The president also was expected to call on governors to pardon state-level convictions in a recorded video statement later Thursday.

“As I said when I ran for president, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana,” Mr. Biden said in a statement. “Too many lives have been upended because of our failed approach to marijuana. It’s time that we right these wrongs.”

The marijuana pardon, announced just a month before the Nov. 8 midterm elections, delivers a gift to the Democrats’ liberal base that has clamored for legalizing weed at the federal level and has been disappointed by the party’s failure to deliver on overhauling policing laws.

Some proponents of legalizing marijuana argue that convictions hit Black Americans disproportionately. (Read more from “Biden to Pardon All Federal Convictions for Marijuana Possession” HERE)
