happyone Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Democrat Voters Blame Biden for Inflation Ed Morrissey: One can only play dodgeball for so long before they got bombed by their own side. Joe Biden’s attempts to dodge responsibility for inflation by shifting blame to Vladimir Putin and greedy corporations have not fooled too many people, according to a new TIPP poll conducted in partnership with Issues & Insights. The “Putin price hike” line isn’t even selling among Democrats, a majority of whom blame Biden in significant part for soaring inflation (HotAir). Issues and Insights: Of those responding, 64% said Biden was “responsible,” choosing either “very responsible” (38%) or “somewhat responsible” (26%). Just 25% answered “not responsible”, with 17% saying “not very responsible” but a far-smaller 8% saying “not at all responsible.” “Not sure” was 10% (Issues and Insights).

happyone Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Chevron CEO Pessimistic About United States Building Another Oil Refinery, Ever Institute for Energy Research: Chevron CEO Mike Wirth does not expect another oil refinery to be built in the United States ever again, due to federal government policies. The last significant refinery built in the United States was in 1976. (A small refinery came online in 2020 in North Dakota). Over the last two years, due to reduced demand from the pandemic and President Biden’s stated policy to reduce the demand for petroleum products, U.S. refineries have been shut down or repurposed to become biofuel refineries. In a business where investments have a payout period of a decade or more, it is unlikely for investment to be spent on policies where the demand is to be reduced (IER). HotAir: The Democrats, now led by Joe Biden, have been warning everyone for years that they were going to find a way to move the world away from the use of fossil fuels. Biden promised to “end fossil fuels” on the campaign trail and enacted policies moving in that direction starting on his first day in office. The oil and gas industry was listening and they’ve responded accordingly… Nobody is going to flush that much cash into such a project when Uncle Sam is threatening to effectively outlaw your product in the next decade. And once a refinery is shut down or converted to produce biofuels, it can’t simply be “switched back on” or reverted to oil processing at the drop of a hat (HotAir).

happyone Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Mother of Fallen Officer on DA Gascon: “He's destroyed so many lives” Fox News: The parents of a slain California police officer are demanding Los Angeles DA George Gascon be recalled for his far-left policies, after their son and his partner were killed in the line of duty. Jose Santana and Olga Garcia joined “Fox & Friends First” to discuss their son’s tragedy and why they pin the blame on what critics call Gascon’s “radical” policies. “It’s not fair, Gascon needs to be recalled immediately,” Garcia told co-host Griff Jenkins. “He’s destroyed so many lives, and he’s completely destroyed ours. We’re just completely devastated” (Fox News). Newsnation: Monday morning, Santana’s mother Olga Garcia spoke out about the violence police officers face and shared memories of her son in an emotional interview on NewsNation. “George Gascon gives criminals more rights than police officers. He has insane ideas about criminals. They just get like a slap in the hand. Police officers are afraid to even do their jobs, or to defend themselves because Gascon would put them in jail. He’s for the criminals. He is not for victims. And as long as he continues to be in office is going to destroy more families,” Garcia said. There is an ongoing recall effort to remove Gascon from his position, and the petition to recall him has already received half a million signatures. “If that criminal would have been locked up, they both would be here today,” Garcia said (Newsnation). Good thing that LA now has enough signatures to recall this Left wing loser Campaign to Recall Los Angeles DA George Gascón Gathered Enough Signatures to Force Vote on Ballot ABC: A group seeking to recall Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said on Wednesday that it has collected enough signatures to qualify for the ballot. In a statement, the Recall DA George Gascón campaign announced it has has surpassed 566,857 signatures collected as of Tuesday, “which equates to 10% of registered voters” in the county “and is the required threshold to officially initiate a recall.” Organizers said their focus has now turned to collecting as many additional signatures as possible to ensure there is a necessary “cushion” to offset those that are invalidated by the county registrar of voters. The campaign’s stated goal is to submit 650,000 – 700,000 total signatures or more (ABC). Fox News: The recall is the second attempt by supporters to oust Gascon, who came into office in December 2020 on a criminal justice reform platform. As crime has increased across the county, so has scrutiny of its top prosecutor, who has barred his deputy district attorneys from seeking enhancement allegations, which can significantly lengthen prison sentences, and charging juveniles as adults, even those accused of serious crimes, among others (Fox News). Daily Wire: And the criminals certainly appear to have gotten the message. According to Melugin’s reporting a week earlier, as plans to recall Gascón began to gain momentum, audio surfaced of a gang member charged with murder asking his attorneys to “hurry up and make a deal” while Gascón still held the office (Daily Wire).

happyone Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Environmentalists Sue Biden Administration for Approving Oil and Gas Drilling Permits Wall Street Journal: Environmental groups sued the Biden administration on Wednesday, saying that its decision to approve more than 3,500 oil and natural-gas drilling permits in New Mexico and Wyoming violated environmental laws by not taking into account the impact on climate change. In their lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., the conservation nonprofits Center for Biological Diversity and WildEarth Guardians say the approved oil and gas wells will release as much as 600 million metric tons of greenhouse-gas emissions, worsening climate change and damaging U.S. ecosystems. The federal permitting agency “has admitted that continued oil and gas exploitation is a significant cause of the climate crisis, yet the agency continues to recklessly issue thousands of new oil and gas drilling permits,” said Kyle Tisdel, climate and energy program director with the Western Environmental Law Center, which filed the lawsuit on behalf of the nonprofits… Roughly 10% of U.S. oil and gas production comes from federal land. Most comes from state and private land (Wall Street Journal). CNN: Interior announced in April it would resume onshore oil and gas leases after a federal judge issued an injunction that thwarted President Joe Biden’s efforts in early 2021 to rein in drilling on federal land. Interior announced it would significantly reduce the number of parcels being offered, and make companies pay a higher royalty rate. Biden himself is increasing pressure on fossil fuel companies to ramp up their capacity. On Wednesday, the president penned letters to seven oil refinery companies, urging them to take “immediate actions to increase the supply of gasoline, diesel, and other refined product.” The American Petroleum Institute, a top fossil fuel trade group, responded on Wednesday to the letter, saying they “appreciate the opportunity to open increased dialogue with the White House” but that “the administration’s misguided policy agenda shifting away from domestic oil and natural gas has compounded inflationary pressures and added headwinds to companies’ daily efforts to meet growing energy needs while reducing emissions” (CNN).

She will be the first Mexican-born congresswoman to serve in the House. Musk also predicted a massive red wave is coming in 2022 and suggested he is leaning toward voting for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president, should he decide to run in 2024 (Fox News). Musk’s quasi-endorsement came with criticism. Democrat Jamaal Bowman: Elon Musk is not a leader. He’s just another Republican billionaire who supports white supremacy and authoritarianism because he doesn’t want his workers to unionize or to pay his fair share in taxes. The GOP just tried to end democracy and now he’s supporting them (Twitter). New York Post: The Florida governor spoke to reporters during a news conference in Tallahassee. When asked about Musk’s tweet, DeSantis replied: “So what I would say, you know, I’m focused on 2022, but with Elon Musk, what I would say is, you know, I welcome support from African-Americans. What can I say” (New York Post)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Ngo: Jane’s Revenge, the terrorist far-left group connected to #Antifa that carried out attacks targeting religious buildings & pregnancy centers, has released a new statement saying it’s open season (Twitter). Jane’s Revenge: Your thirty days expired yesterday. We offered an honourable way out. You could have walked away. Now the leash is off. And we will make it as hard as possible for your campaign of oppression to continue. We have demonstrated in the past month how easy and fun it is to attack. We are versatile, we are mercurial, and we answer to no one but ourselves. We promised to take increasingly drastic measures against oppressive infrastructures. Rest assured that we will, and those measures may not come in the form of something so easily cleaned up as fire and graffiti. Sometimes you will see what we do, and you will know that it is us. Sometimes you will think you merely are unlucky, because you cannot see the ways which we interfere in your affairs. But your pointless attempts to control others, and make life more difficult, will not be met passively. Eventually your insurance companies, and your financial backers will realize you are a bad investment. From here forward, any anti-choice group who closes their doors, and stops operating will no longer be a target. But until you do, it’s open season, and we know where your operations are… Through attacking, we find joy, courage, and strip the veneer of impenetrability held by these violent institutions (Jane’s Revenge).

In response, Pelosi reiterated that women have the right to choose when it comes to bodily autonomy (Townhall).

The Speaker DID NOT denounce fire bombs or vandalism, instead elaborated on her pro-#abortion agenda (Twitter). Spencer Brown: Wow. She pushed right past the terrorist attacks against pro-life organizations & launched a full-throated defense of abortion, calling herself “very Catholic,” citing Ireland.

happyone Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Biden Considering Declaring a Public Health Emergency to Protect Abortion New York Times: President Biden’s top aides are weighing whether he can or should take a series of executive actions to help women in Republican-controlled states obtain abortions if the Supreme Court eliminates a woman’s right to end her pregnancy, according to senior administration officials. Some of the ideas under consideration include declaring a national public health emergency, readying the Justice Department to fight any attempt by states to criminalize travel for the purpose of obtaining an abortion, and asserting that Food and Drug Administration regulations granting approval to abortion medications pre-empt any state bans, the officials said (New York Times). National Review: While the move would almost certainly be met with legal challenges, the declaration of a public-health emergency could ostensibly allow the Department of Health and Human Services to suspend the state-based medical licensing regime so that blue-state doctors could perform abortions in states where abortion is outlawed or restricted (National Review).
