Saudis and Middle East Leaders Reject Biden’s Calls for Help Lowering World Oil Prices

The Saudi crown prince and the United Arab Emerates sheikh have both rejected President Biden’s overtures to aid the United States on lowering world oil and gas prices.

“The White House unsuccessfully tried to arrange calls between President Biden and the de facto leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as the U.S. was working to build international support for Ukraine and contain a surge in oil prices,” Middle East and U.S. officials said, as reported in the Wall Street Journal.

Ye gods and little fishes. The leader of the free world can't get someone to take his calls? I guess that's why they call it "soft power".

Joe Biden Orders Study for Government Controlled Digital Dollar to Compete with Bitcoin

President Joe Biden plans to sign an executive order on Wednesday to study the concept of a “digital dollar” currency to compete with Bitcoin .

“We’re placing the highest urgency on the effort to assess the potential benefits and the risks of a digital dollar on payment systems, on financial stability, on national security, on the implications for human rights, and financial inclusion,” a senior administration official told reporters in a briefing call on Tuesday.

A digital dollar would be easier for the federal government of the United States to control than cash but make it more susceptible to inflation and government controls than open-source currencies like Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is trusted by users for not being susceptible to government control, allowing it to exist without government interference in changing the supply or seizing or freezing assets.
Biden officials stressed that the executive order marked the first time that the United States brought together “a coherent and coordinated view” on digital currencies “at the very highest level of government.”

The Biden team revealed they had created “Crypto Sundays” events to coordinate with industry experts on moving forward to create the government’s own version of a digital currency.

One official defended the idea of a “digital dollar” in terms of social justice, noting that Americans “facing issues with financial inclusions” could use U.S. government currencies without the struggles of meeting requirements from existing banks, credit cards, and financial institutions.

“There’s at least potential here to try to address a very serious problem that mainly affects, you know, lower-income, middle-class Americans,” the official said.
The Bank of England has called on ministers to discuss whether or not a central bank digital currency should be “programable,” allowing governments to control its use.

“You could introduce programmability – what happens if one of the participants in a transaction puts a restriction on [future use of the money]?” Tom Mutton, a director at the Bank of England, said according to The Telegraph.

“There could be some socially beneficial outcomes from that, preventing activity which is seen to be socially harmful in some way ,” he continued. “But at the same time, it could be a restriction on people’s freedoms.”

given the way our socialist DEMs are acting, this sounds scary

It was released to do exactly that, push the blame on someone else but Buydumb...

November. Foxtrot. Sierra.

We don’t have the individual flying cars zipping all over the place just yet like were described in the science fiction tales of my youth, but the scary political and social conditions and controls are becoming more real all the time.

“The president was asked on Tuesday if he had a message for the American people on gas prices.

"They’re going to go up," he said.

When asked what is he going to do about it, Biden replied: "Can’t do much right now. Russia is responsible."” - Fox News

No offer of help or any words to soothe the public. What’s a sorry supposedly leader.

Strange, other liberal sources are blaming oil company profits for rising prices.

They need to huddle to keep their lies together.

When pressed by reporters about skyrocketing gas prices, this actually came out of this waste of good oxygen’s ice cream hole.

If that doesn’t sum up this pathetic administration, I don’t know what does:

Stolen for use at a later time.

an earlier post mentioned that biden would issue an Executive Order about "digital assets"

Here is the order

https://www.whitehouse.gov/bri...t-of-digital-assets/

A long EO

a snip:

"We must promote access to safe and affordable financial services. Many Americans are underbanked and the costs of cross-border money transfers and payments are high. The United States has a strong interest in promoting responsible innovation that expands equitable access to financial services, particularly for those Americans underserved by the traditional banking system, including by making investments and domestic and cross-border funds transfers and payments cheaper, faster, and safer, and by promoting greater and more cost-efficient access to financial products and services. The United States also has an interest in ensuring that the benefits of financial innovation are enjoyed equitably by all Americans and that any disparate impacts of financial innovation are mitigated. "

DEMs always bury little gotcha mines that allow them to pursue "equity" based on "disparate impact"

and of course there is

"integrates features and controls that defend against illicit exploitation, and reduces negative climate impacts and environmental pollution, as may result from some cryptocurrency mining."

"The Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (APNSA) and the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy (APEP) shall coordinate, through the interagency process described in National Security Memorandum 2 of February 4, 2021 (Renewing the National Security Council System), the executive branch actions necessary to implement this order. The interagency process shall include, as appropriate: the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the Director of National Intelligence, the Director of the Domestic Policy Council, the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, the Director of the National Science Foundation, and the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development. Representatives of other executive departments and agencies (agencies) and other senior officials may be invited to attend interagency meetings as appropriate"

and who is the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs ?
that would be Jake Sullivan. A long time associate of Hillary Clinton and one of the people identified in the Sussmann indictment about trying to frame Donald Trump

Consumer prices rose 7.9% in February compared to last year, four-decade high

https://justthenews.com/nation..._campaign=newsletter

Inflation increased by 7.9% in February, compared to the same time last year, according to the Labor Department's monthly Consumer Price Index report released Thursday.

The index measures a wide range of goods and services.

However, increases in the indexes for gasoline, shelter, and food were the largest contributors to the seasonally adjusted, all-items increase, the department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said in its report.

The annualized increase for last month marked a 40-year high for the index, according to CNBC.

The month-over-month increase for February was 0.8%, according to the fed's report.

The last time the rate of inflation accelerated so quickly was January1982.

Economists surveyed by Dow Jones expected a 7.8% annualized increase, and 0.7% for the month, CNBC also reports.
