Whose Fault Are High Gas Prices?
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 2/25/2022 11:54:26 PM
Many Americans are baffled that the economy has become inflationary and may be heading for a recession. The price of gasoline is especially troublesome. President Biden blames the baffling backward bounce of the economy on the COVID pandemic. As with much political commentary, there is an element of truth in his observation. However, the pandemic didn't cause inflation; the government's response to the pandemic did. In 1986, President Reagan said, "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help." Reagan's remarks are more relevant today than the day he delivered them.

Game-changing news has emerged out of Iceland.
As of this week, Iceland is the first country in the world to completely drop ALL Covid measures. There will be no lockdowns or social restrictions. There will be no mandatory Covid testing and if you happen to catch Covid you do not have to isolate. There will be no vaccine passports and no vaccine mandates. Anyone regardless of their vaccination status can travel to the country with no test required. The unvaccinated will not face any form of discrimination or exclusion from society.
Iceland is returning to going back to life as it was before Covid.
This by itself would be astounding enough
As the midterm 2022 elections approach, the expectation is that, with thirty Democrat House retirements and the continued unraveling of the Biden Administration, the Dems are about to experience historic losses in both the House and Senate.
However, the evil geniuses within the Democrat party have identified the Fourteenth Amendment as a vehicle to thwart Republican dreams of achieving a massive political realignment. Therefore, it may be shortsighted to count the one-time party of Jefferson as down-and-out until the last glimmering frenzy has been extinguished.
In 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment was amended to add Section 3, also known as the Disqualification Clause.
Donald Trump has announced that he will be holding a rally in South Carolina on March 12.
The event will be taking place at the regional airport in Florence, Trump’s political action committee Save America announced.
“After a year of crises and failures from the Biden Administration, it’s no surprise folks are eager to rally behind a Republican, America First agenda,” South Carolina GOP Chairman Drew McKissick said in a statement about the rally. “That’s why we’re excited to welcome President Trump back to South Carolina.”
Joe Biden sat down for a face-to-face interview with social media influencer Brian Tyler Cohen on Friday to discuss Putin, Covid and challenges Americans are facing due to his horrible policies.
Biden claimed that he has made the economy better but people are still “psychologically” unable to “feel happy.”
“There’s a phenomenal negative psychological impact that Covid has had on the public psyche and so you have an awful lot of people who are not withstanding the fact that things have gotten so much better for them economically that they are thinking,
An Ontario Superior Court of Justice (ONSC) judge rebuked a man for deriding his ex-wife as a “conspiracy theorist” in a family law dispute related to custody of two minor children — a 12-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son — centered on disagreement between parents over coronavirus vaccinations for their children.
In his judgment issued on Tuesday, Justice Alex Pazaratz questioned the father’s line of argumentation. The father wants the two children, who have both “recovered completely” from the coronavirus, to receive vaccinations. The mother opposes this.
Pazaratz challenged the father’s use of the term “misinformation,” a term regularly used by Big Tech to censor interrogation of left-wing political orthodoxies.
President Donald Trump appeared to finally confirm that he is running for re-election in 2024 during his speech at CPAC.
Trump stated that he has already won twice and that he will be doing it again for a “third time.”
“We did it twice, and we’ll do it again. We’re going to be doing it again a third time,” Trump said to massive applause. “November 2024 they will find out like never before.” [Video]
Trump has consistently implied that he is running, without explicitly confirming it.
“The socialists, globalists, Marxists and communists who are attacking our civilization have no idea of the sleeping giant that they have awoken,” Trump said.

As a mother went to the doctors for her routine ultrasound, she noticed that her baby was “blowing a bubble”. However, the doctor informed her of some shocking news, urging her to abort. She decided to make a decision that you have to see to believe.
Tammy Gonzalez was happy about having a daughter, however her excitement would quickly turn into terror and heartbreak once she went in for a routine ultrasound. As she was in the doctor’s office, it appeared that her baby was blowing a bubble. As Tammy looked back and forth between the ultrasound monitor and the technician’s shocking stare, she realized that something was wrong, very wrong.
Liberals Always React Like Third-Graders

No one likes it when things don’t go their way. Whether it’s a being passed over for a promotion at work or the dissolution of a long-term personal relationship or a financial reversal, a setback is never welcome. What defines a person’s character is his reaction to adverse events. Mature adults will stop, take a breath, internalize the misfortune, evaluate their options and calmly pick a corrective course of action, with a minimum of hyperbolic arm-waving and verbal histrionics. Young children, of course, haven’t attained this level of personal composure and they react with gut-level emotion, stamping their feet, shouting out excuses and rationalizations and just generally blaming everyone

Except in the months preceding a crucial midterm election, today’s Democrats would argue that high gas prices are a good thing. They see gas prices as a Pigouvian tax on fossil fuels that accelerate the shift to renewable “green” energy. Regulatory and legislative actions such as killing the Keystone Pipeline early last year, and closing off federal lands for oil drilling, were made by the Biden Administration and its congressional cohorts knowing full well such decisions would raise gas prices for consumers.
Democrats were okay with that, until their polling numbers began dipping into the frigid zone.
In the End, Sweden Did It Right

What if two years ago, when COVID-19 first hit these shores, our politicians hadn't panicked?
What if the government did what it has done every time we were confronted with a deadly virus, such as the Spanish flu or polio? Instead of locking down our schools, churches and businesses, the government could have simply informed citizens of the risks of getting sick and urged people to be extra careful about hygiene, stay out of crowded places and protect the vulnerable.
It turns out there was one country that mostly rejected lockdowns and let life go on as normal as possible under dire circumstances. That country was Sweden.
Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. The dress code has been amended to include ascots and Crocs, but never together.
One of the best arguments for colonizing the moon and Mars is that there would be someplace to get away to when this world gets crazy. On the off chance that you haven’t been outside in while, I would like to pass along the fact that the world is, at present, a little Froot Loops.
If someone had written a novel describing the last two years, critics would have panned it as a dystopian effort that was just a little too over the top.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) touted President Joe Biden's response to Russia launching an invasion of Ukraine, saying Friday that the president's experience working on foreign policy has prepared him for an event like this. Speaking to reporters, Pelosi highlighted the "brilliance" of Biden's handling of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
"I think it's really important for people to understand the brilliance with which President Biden is conducting this," Pelosi said, according to Fox News' Chad Pergram. "This is a man who served decades as chair of the Foreign Affairs
Amid an intense conflict continuing, the government of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin are in negotiations for a meeting. However, the U.S. State Department does not want Zelenskyy and Putin to negotiate an end to hostilities.(Snip)The Biden administration has created this crisis between Russia and Ukraine for a convenient purpose, and the White House is not about to let Zelenskyy screw it up and create peace. The U.S. wants President Zelenskyy to leave Ukraine, so the State Department can take full control over the narrative. Zelenskyy is refusing to leave.
“LGBT+ rights” are the most important “values and hard won freedoms” distinguishing “us” from Russian President Vladimir Putin, Richard Moore, chief of MI6, the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service, wrote on Friday. Moore did not specify if his use of “us” was a reference to the United Kingdom, the Anglosphere, or the broader West.(Snip)He wrote, “With the tragedy and destruction unfolding so distressingly in Ukraine, we should remember the values and hard won freedoms that distinguish us from Putin, none more than LGBT+ rights. So let’s resume our series of tweets to mark #LGBTHM2022.” Moore highlighted an “LGBT+ support group” within MI6 to illustrate his emphasis of “LGBT+ rights”
The White House held a brainstorming session on how to combat climate “denialism and delay” even as the Russian invasion of Ukraine fueled pressure on President Biden to end his crackdown on domestic oil-and-gas production. The White House released Friday a readout from the previous day’s first-ever roundtable discussion held by the Office of Science and Technology Policy [OSTP] on “the scientific understanding of why arguments for delaying action on climate change are appealing and how they can be countered effectively.” “It’s clear that a variety of special interests have had a vested interest in sowing doubt on climate change and feeding denialism and delay,”

A market in Wuhan, China, that sold live animals likely was the point of origin for the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a pair of studies released Saturday. “When you look at all of the evidence together, it’s an extraordinarily clear picture that the pandemic started at the Huanan market,” said Michael Worobey, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Arizona who co-authored both studies, told the New York Times. The studies have yet to be published in a scientific journal. Researchers analyzed data from a variety of sources to seek clues to how the pandemic began. They concluded it was present in live mammals
Even as the omicron variant loosens its grip on the world, destinations continue to require travelers to show proof of vaccination. And, increasingly, a paper CDC vaccination card is not cutting it. While the United States government has not issued a federal digital vaccine pass, a national standard has nevertheless emerged. To date, 21 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico offer accessibility to the SMART Health Card, a verifiable digital proof of vaccination developed through the Vaccination Credential Initiative (VCI), a global coalition of public and private stakeholders including Microsoft, Salesforce, Oracle, the Mayo Clinic and other health and tech heavyweights. And very soon,

In an interesting “scoop” published Saturday, Axios reported that CBS’s EVP of Special Programming Chris Licht, who was tapped to replace ousted CNN boss Jeff Zucker to lead the third-place cable network, wants to get back to CNN being a straight news outlet and cut back on the liberal screeds that dominate prime time and their newscasts in general.The Axios headline said it all: “CNN to dull its liberal edge.” “Under new chief Chris Licht, CNN will dial down the prime-time partisanship and double down on the network's news-gathering muscle,” reported Mike Allen and Sara Fischer.

President Joe Biden’s State Department said on Friday that the administration will continue to work with Russia when it comes to areas that are of “overriding importance.” While the department did not say exactly what those areas include, the spokesman’s comments come days after U.S. Special Climate Envoy John Kerry said he hopes “President Putin will help us to stay on track with respect to what we need to do for the climate.” (snip) State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters that while the U.S.’s relationship with Moscow is “very different” following Russia’s attack on Ukraine, the Biden administration will continue to “engage” with Putin in certain areas.
Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Friday if she could name anything the Biden administration has done in an attempt to help Ukraine that has “worked.”“Well, Peter, let me just take a step back and explain to everyone how diplomacy works and how our approach from the United States has worked,” Psaki said. “What the president has done is he has built a global coalition to stand up in the face of President Putin and President Putin’s aggression and invasion of Ukraine.”She said Biden had rallied the world to impose “significant sanctions” against Russia, even when such sanctions were “at cost to them.”
Ukraine is fighting back.
And that for one must startle Vladimir Putin, who seems to have expected another Afghanistan-style takeover, the way the Taliban did it -- the Taliban marching in, the the local president loading up his money and flying off without a fight, and the boldest locals cramming onto U.S. waiting jets. Few fought back in that one and the disaster speaks for itself.
We don't see that in Ukraine. The U.S. offered Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a flight out and he refused it. "I need ammunition, not a ride," he reportedly told the U.S.
He was last seen dressed in a military t-shirt
