Gas Prices

Fox News host Dana Perino confronted White House press secretary Jen Psaki on “America’s Newsroom” Tuesday about President Joe Biden’s response to the rise in energy and gas prices.Perino asked Psaki if the president would consider reversing his previous policies regarding energy in order to decrease U.S. dependence on foreign oil from countries like Russia. The global price of crude oil rose to over $100 per barrel the morning of Feb. 24 as Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.“The president shares the concern about any impact on gas prices, on energy prices for the American people,” Psaki replied. “That’s why a range of options remain on the table.

President Joe Biden spoke to his Ukrainian counterpart Volodomyr Zelensky on Thursday night to discuss Russia's shelling of Europe's largest nuclear power plant.The White House was monitoring the situation, officials said, without providing details of the call.

Europe's largest nuclear plant was on fire in the early hours of Friday morning after coming under attack by Russian troops.A live feed from the station showed a line of military vehicles firing at buildings at the nuclear plant, causing flames to break out at the site in the south-east of the country - sparking fears of a radiation disaster in the nation currently under invasion by Russian forces.In response to the attack, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of 'nuclear terror' while British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will seek an emergency UN Security Council meeting in the coming hours, a Downing Street spokeswoman said. 'The UK would
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dared Russia’s leader to meet with him Thursday, saying that “I don’t bite” — as Vladimir Putin vowed to continue his deadly invasion of Ukraine and claimed his soldiers were acting “like real heroes.”During a news conference in Ukraine’s capital city, Kyiv, Zelensky repeatedly taunted Putin, even mocking the Russian president’s penchant for conducting meetings at the opposite ends of extremely long tables.“Sit down with me to negotiate, just not at 30 meters,” Zelensky said.“I don’t bite. What are you afraid of?”
Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams was mocked online after comparing herself and progressive Democrats to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his people fighting off a Russian invasion.Abrams made the comparison while speaking with "Daily Show" host Trevor Noah on her second gubernatorial campaign. "We are a stronger nation when we allow people to participate," Abrams said in the clip that has been picking up steam online."And if we ever doubted that: The war that Putin is waging against Ukraine, President Zelenskyy said it, and I’m going to paraphrase him, probably poorly," the Georgia Democrat continued. "He said this isn’t a war on Ukraine, this is
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday sparred with a Fox News reporter over Biden’s decision to continue to buy oil from Russia while putting restrictions on domestic energy production.“As long as we’re buying Russian oil, though, aren’t we financing the war?” Fox News White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked Psaki.
“Well, Jacqui, again, it’s only about 10% of what we’re importing. I’ve not made any announcement about any decision on that front,” Psaki said.If Psaki can brush off the fact that Russia is only 10%

At least 10 people were taken to hospitals, and several more are missing, after an explosion and fire obliterated apartments in Silver Spring, Maryland, Thursday morning, officials said.Flames consumed a building at the Friendly Garden Apartments on Lyttonsville Road about 10:30 a.m. after an enormous boom alarmed residents throughout the area.“The first thing was that big boom.

What are they doing? The Biden White House is going to ask Kamala Harris to back into the game again? Bench this woman, please. For the sake of our intelligence and human civilization, just put her back into the cardboard box from whence she came. She has failed on the border. She failed in boosting COVID vaccination rates. Harris is a walking failure, who bleeds staff and fosters a toxic work environment. She doesn’t do the work and she doesn’t read the briefings her staff prepare for her, so she doesn’t look like an idiot. She botched the talking points about the sanctions slapped against Russia in the aftermath
The White House is actively discussing sending Vice President Harris to Warsaw, Poland, and Bucharest, Romania, in the coming days to show solidarity with Ukraine as it faces an escalating Russian invasion, sources familiar with the conversations tell The Hill. The discussions involve sending Harris to visit troops stationed in Romania and potentially to the border with Ukraine, where a refugee crisis has seen more than 1 million people flee that country since the Russian attack.The trip could happen in the coming weeks, one source said, adding that there is no active dialogue about sending President Biden to the region.
Justice correspondent for The Nation, Elie Mystal, said Thursday morning the U.S. should throw out the Constitution for something “more inclusive.”While speaking on Pix 11, Mystal explained how he believes the Constitution does not guarantee equal rights for everyone.“Now in your book, ‘Allow Me To Retort,’ you reframe politics and the Constitution by kind of breaking down how it all impacts voting rights, LGBTQ rights, abortion rights, the list goes on and on. So, are you arguing that the Constitution needs to be scrapped altogether?” the host asked.(Tweet/Video) “Sure,” a laughing Mystal responded.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has caused confusion with her reaction to a moment during President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech on Tuesday. Biden was speaking about the dangers soldiers faced in Afghanistan and Iraq when Pelosi's response to this topic sparked debate on social media. Biden said one of the dangers was soldiers breathing in toxic smoke from burn pits while at their bases. At this moment, Pelosi began to rise to her feet while rubbing her knuckles together and smiling. Applause can also be heard from the crowd. This moment has been viewed over 1.5
White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain gave President Joe Biden grade-A marks for his fitness in a post-State of the Union interview Wednesday. 'He's definitely in better shape than I am, that's for sure. He's very fit, he works out almost every day in the morning before he comes down to the Oval Office,' Klain said in a virtual interview with the Economic Club of Washington. 'I think his fitness, his vigor, is beyond question.'
Speaking to billionaire philanthropist David Rubenstein, Klain pointed to the 79-year-old Biden's performance at Tuesday night's State ofthe Union as evidence that being the country's oldest president isn't holding the Democrat back.
The committee in the US House of Representatives investigation the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021 said in a court filing Wednesday it believes that former President Donald Trump violated 'multiple laws' in his attempt to overturn the 2020 Presidential Election. The court document was filed in federal court in Los Angeles as part of the U.S. House of Representative Select Committee's dispute with John Eastman, a lawyer who advised Trump on a plan to invalidate election results in key battleground states. Eastmann is behind the notorious 'coup memo,' which argued that former Vice President Mike Pence had unilateral power to overturn Trump's loss to Joe Biden.
U.S. Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said President Joe Biden's State of the Union address 'left a little to be desired' for Democrats because he did not push issues like renewable energy, student loan debt, education or immigration. The New York Democrat said Biden's speech on Tuesday, where he focused on COVID recovery and the conflict in the Ukraine, failed to capitalize on moving away from Russian oil by committing to green energy. 'I think it was a lost opportunity,' Ocasio-Cortez, 32, told MSNBC. 'There is profound bipartisan support to a long-term shift away from fossil fuels.'
She added that Biden had glossed over issues of 'crisis in education,'
Former Attorney General Bill Barr recounted the dramatic moment when former President slammed his hand on his desk and ordered him to go home without delay after he disputed Trump's election fraud claims.
Barr resigned his post shortly before Christmas in 2020, just weeks before the end of Trump's term – in an event that has since been revealed to be a sign of inner White House turmoil over Trump's efforts to push his fraud claims even after they were thrown out of a succession of courts.
Former President George W. Bush recalled some of his memorable interactions with Russian President Vladimir Putin, while discussing how the Russian president miscalculated the invasion of Ukraine at an event Tuesday night in Chicago. 'I introduced Vladimir Putin to Barney, our Scottish terrier, and [Putin] dissed him.(Snip)'So we're watching him try to reinstate Soviet hegemony,' Bush said. But he miscalculated by going into Ukraine, the ex-president said. 'He picks weak people to do that,' Bush said. 'He thought Ukraine was weak, but it's not. Ukraine is showing a backbone and a spine that this world sorely needs to see.'
In recent years, a number of parents and grandparents have discovered an alarming trend: children no longer know how to write in cursive.
Such a discovery led to a considerable backlash against programs such as Common Core, which many viewed as the culprit squeezing out cursive instruction. Thanks to increased attention on the subject, many states have implemented laws mandating that cursive be taught in school.
But what happens when children begin to learn cursive and can’t hold their pencil properly?
Amazingly, this is the growing reality in a number of countries. The Guardian explains:
It’s not exactly news that Whoopi Goldberg is a lunatic. After all, this is the same person that was suspended from her television show for two weeks after she suggested (multiple times) that the Holocaust wasn’t predicated on race. I guess she thought Adolf Hitler just didn’t like the little hats the Jewish men wore or something? But, if you thought that episode might produce some levity in the Hollywood star, think again.Oh, who am I kidding? No one thought that, so when Goldberg entered orbit over Lauren Boebert heckling Joe Biden at the State of the Union, it was completely expected. Here she is ranting and raving,
Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert heckled President Biden Tuesday at his first State of the Union address — making rare breaches of etiquette to show their disapproval of various Biden policies.Greene (R-Ga.) made faces and muttered throughout Biden’s roughly one hour speech, particularly when he spoke about administering COVID-19 vaccines to children — but Boebert (R-Colo.) earned greater gasps for slamming Biden’s Afghanistan exit by invoking the deaths of 13 US troops in an August bombing at Kabul’s airport.Many of Greene’s utterances were inaudible to reporters,
GARDINER, Mont.— On public land north of Yellowstone National Park late last year, Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte (R) shot and killed a mountain lion that was being monitored by National Park Service staff, after hunting dogs had chased it up a tree. The mountain lion hunt, which has not been previously reported, occurred on Dec. 28 on a swath of U.S. Forest Service land southwest of Emigrant, Mont., according to residents familiar with the episode who spoke on the condition of anonymity to preserve relationships in the community.
The Laws of Economics are as immutable as the Law of Gravity, but few leftists grasp this fact. When it comes to the Democrats’ energy policies, I believe this immutability will finally be the Democrats’ downfall. People are reaching a pain point that the progressives can no longer deflect onto others. (snip) For the right cause, say a short-term need to defend the US against an aggressor to protect us, citizens do make sacrifices, as we saw in World War II with rationing. But sane Americans won’t do it for progressive, leftist, or Marxist authoritarian causes.
Ukraine appears to be feeling some of that frustration that we have felt with Joe Biden with his general failure to be effective on virtually anything. Ukraine is under huge assault from Russia, with a convoy bearing down on the capital city of Kyiv. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he hoped that Joe Biden could say something “useful.” But Ukrainian Member of Parliament Oleksandra Ustinova said this morning on NBC’s “Today” that Biden’s speech was “a total disappointment. Today, the whole world is watching Ukrainians being executed. I cannot name it the other way around.”
