Biden to Call for Federal Gas Tax Holiday
as Prices Continue to Surge

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/22/2022 11:10:15 AM

President Biden on Wednesday will call on Congress to suspend the federal gas tax for three months as Americans contend with record-high gas prices. The gas tax holiday would cost roughly $10 billion, according to a fact sheet released by the White House. However, Biden will ask Congress to enact the suspension without harming the Highway Trust Fund, which receives funds from the tax revenue. The president will suggest Congress use other revenues to make up for the loss, the New York Times reported. “Look, it will have some impact, but it’s not going to have an impact on major road construction and major repairs,” Biden said earlier this week.

The 18 cent teeny tiny band aid is meaningless. American production and distribution of our natural resources is the cure.

This is no answer. This does not solve the energy SHORTAGE problem. Hell, it's not even a band aide on a small cut. A waste of time to even deal with it. Open up our energy, we need more refineries, we need someone to tell FJB that his swiss cheese brain is out to lunch. I would save $2 on a fill up. While everything around me is going sky high. I get to pocket $2. There is nothing in our lives that is not affected by energy. From food, mobility, utilities, the scrap paper you write on, your flip flops, shampoo, EVERYTHING. I am stocking up on everything I can possibly think of. While some green energy sectors might be helpful and work it is not ready for prime time and we all know it. FJB will not be satisficed until we are in a depression. They are containing our mobility, they are putting our food system in crisis, and now they want to disarm us. It always starts this way.

pResident Life Alert caused the gas prices to go up due to his executive odors and hampering regulations. Now that gas is 5 dollars on average he now seeks to throw a bucker of water on his five alarm fire. It will of course amount to nothing but let's face it this is pervert Joe we're talking about here.

In ancient times, they were called 'circuses' for the masses. Today, they are called 'holidays'. Biden does not govern, he rules. He mumbles, 'Let them eat cake'. He thinks this will make people happy. How out of touch can you get? Biden was never an 'ideas' man. Someone else came up with this. What a joke, and a bad one at that.

Colombo, Sri Lanka — Sri Lanka's debt-laden economy has "collapsed" after months of shortages of food, fuel and electricity, the prime minister told lawmakers Wednesday in comments that underscored the country's dire situation as it seeks help from international lenders. Ranil Wickremesinghe told Parliament the South Asian nation faces "a far more serious situation" than the shortages alone, and he warned of "a possible fall to rock bottom." "Our economy has completely collapsed," he said. The crisis on the island of 22 million is considered its worst in recent memory, but Wickremesinghe did not cite any specific new developments.

The Catholic Church is heeding federal law enforcement's warning that a radical group is "calling for extreme violence" against churches nationwide in response to the Supreme Court's expected reversal of abortion rights. An internal document obtained by Newsweek outlines intelligence shared by the Department of Homeland Security with the Catholic Church of a planned "Night of Rage," targeting churches and pregnancy centers over their opposition to abortion rights. The document sheds light on how law enforcement and the church are bracing for backlash after a leaked opinion showed the Supreme Court preparing to rescind federal abortion rights. Labeled an "urgent memo," the document is from the Diocese

The Senate voted 65–33 to pass a bipartisan gun-control bill late on Thursday night, sending the legislation to the House. The bill requires increased background checks for gun buyers under age 21, including of mental-health and criminal records, and provides funding for states to implement “red flag” laws designed to prevent dangerous individuals from purchasing guns. Funding is also allocated toward mental-health and school-safety programs under the legislation. The text of the bill was introduced on Wednesday night and was the product of weeks of negotiations led by Senators Chris Murphy (D., Conn.), Kyrsten Sinema (D., Ariz.), John Cornyn (R., Texas), and Thom Tillis (R., N.C.).

It couldn’t have been more perfect than Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas penning the definitive decision that the right to carry guns on one’s person for self-defense is inherent for all Americans. First of all, Thomas has been after the court to take up more gun rights cases. He used his considerable influence with Chief Justice John Roberts to continue looking for gun rights cases to take. The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc., et al. v. Bruen and the state of New York was the obvious choice. Remember, the state of New York, before Thursday’s decision as a “may issue” state

On Thursday, the Supreme Court delivered a major victory for gun rights. The Court decided that “the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home” and that the New York law requiring a “proper cause” to obtain a concealed carry license was unconstitutional. My colleague Joe Cunningham reported on some of the unhinged reactions from the peanut gallery including Keith Olbermann, former acting U.S. Solicitor General Neal Katyal, and former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara. Bharara said, “SCOTUS read neither the room nor the Constitution correctly.” Funny, and perhaps telling that he doesn’t understand that

The Biden administration on Tuesday proposed changes to the federal civil-rights statute banning sex discrimination in federally funded education programs, including expanding protections to sexual orientation and gender identity. One proposed change “would make clear that preventing any person from participating in an education program or activity consistent with their gender identity would subject them to more than de minimis harm on the basis of sex and therefore be prohibited, unless otherwise permitted by Title IX or the regulations.” If adopted, the rule change would bar universities and any other federally funded institutions from maintaining men’s and women’s sports and sex-segregated spaces like locker rooms and dormitories.

In a letter to employees Thursday that was viewed by The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Griffin said he had personally moved to Florida and that his market-making business, Citadel Securities, would also transfer. He wrote he views Florida as a better corporate environment and though he didn’t specifically cite crime as a factor, company officials said it was a consideration. Mr. Griffin is the wealthiest resident of Illinois, so his departure will hurt state tax collections

Washington — The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a New York law that placed strict restrictions on carrying concealed firearms in public for self defense, finding its requirement that applicants seeking a license to carry a concealed handgun demonstrate a "proper cause" to do so in public is unconstitutional. In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court reversed a lower court decision upholding New York's 108-year-old law limiting who can obtain a license to carry a concealed handgun in public. Proponents of the measure warned that a ruling from the high court invalidating it could threaten gun restrictions in several states and lead to more firearms on city streets. Justice Clarence Thomas

Not only that, Ocasio-Cortez complained, but there are thousands of dollars worth of out-of-pocket expenses.

The Supreme Court on Thursday handed down its opinion in a landmark Second Amendment rights case, the biggest win for gun rights since the court's Heller ruling holding that "New York’s proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment by preventing law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms in public for self-defense." (Tweets) The ruling came down 6-3, with Justice Clarence Thomas writing the majority opinion joined by Justices Roberts, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett — plus concurring opinions by Justice Alito and Justice Kavanaugh. Justices Breyer wrote the dissent joined by Sotomayor, and Kagan.
