I heard on the radio this AM that the total drawdown from SPR is 1MM per day for 180 days so 180MM barrels.

And it will draw down the SPR to the lowest point since 1984!! Which will leave around 475MM barrels in reserve.

This corrupt and demented pedophile really is doing everything he can to weaken this great nation of ours.

Biden is preparing to order the release of up to 1 million barrels of oil per day from the nation's strategic petroleum reserve, according to two people familiar with the decision, in a bid to control energy prices that have spiked as the U.S. and allies have imposed steep sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

Like dumping a Dixie cup of water on a house fire.

Personally, I'm all for this, that is, this administration strongly advocating and pushing this position. As Governor DeSantis mentioned earlier this week, if this is the hill these retards want to die on, the political loses in Washington and elsewhere are going to be immense.

Biden Unveils Response To "Putin's Price Hike At The Pump": Big SPR Release & Tax Crude-Producers

And just to throw some more interventionary gas on the fire, Biden urges Congress to make companies pay fees on wells from their leases that they haven’t used in years and on acres of public lands that they are hoarding without producing.

Which will also fail to achieve anything substantive because if the wells were economic, they would be running them and so companies will uncap wells only to keep them flowing at a trickle to avoid fines.

I read the Dept of Energy reported that the Strategic Petro Reserve was 568 million barrels as of 25 Mar 2022

If it were drawn down at 1 million barrels per day for 180 days, that would leave 388 million barrels

Also saw the the average cost of the oil in the reserve is about $30 per barrel

U.S. consumes 18 to 20 million barrels per day

U.S. produces 11.5 million barrels per day

Biden administration announces end to Title 42 enforcement on immigration during pandemic

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

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention announced Friday the end of enforcement of Title 42, a decades-old federal law impose by the Trump administration to limit immigration to stop the spread of COVID-19 during the pandemic.

The announcement was widely expected and will be effective May 23, a date that was also expected.

President Trump enforced the law as a matter of public health amid a rising death toll as a result of the virus. The lifting of it is expected to result in an immigration surge at the southern U.S. border.

Y'all can do the math for yourselves, but currently there's around 8k/day crossing the border, and CBP expects that number to increase to ~18k/day after Title 42 is no longer in effect... Just in time for the "busy" season to start, way to go Brandon.

And yet, you still can't fly into the US without a negative Covid test and proof of vaccination status.

Jen Psaki to reportedly leave White House, Biden for MSNBC
By Callie Patteson

White House press secretary Jen Psaki is set to leave her gig later this spring to join MSNBC, according to a new report.

Psaki is in exclusive talks with the cable network and has been in close consultation with the White House counsel’s office about her pending departure, Axios reported Friday, citing sources familiar with the plans.

While no deal has been finalized, Psaki has reportedly informed two senior officials at the White House of her departure and her future plans, two sources told the outlet. The White House press team has not yet been formally notified that Psaki will be leaving.

The tentative deal would place Psaki as the host of a show on NBCUniversal’s streaming platform Peacock. She would also be a part of MSNBC’s live cable programming on various shows, according to Axios.

Psaki has long been expected to depart the White House for a TV gig, and reports emerged in February that her services were sought by both CNN — where she worked as a commentator during the Trump administration — and MSNBC.

She needs to leave the planet to join the vacuum of space.

She saw the writing on the wall long ago and clearly made plans…

Unsustainable administration at all levels

Any suggstions for replacments? I would like to see Whoopi Goldberg or Joy Behar. God knows what they might say.

Ginger Goebbels already worked for MSDNC, this is simply a formality, her paychecks will now say “NBC” instead of “USG”

Well, let's hope Psaki gets Maddow's old job. If she does then she might as well have floated out into space.

Biden administration goes all-in on teenage trans surgeries despite huge risks

https://www.washingtonexaminer...s-despite-huge-risks

The Biden administration has unfurled a transgender medical policy that calls for irreversible procedures on minors that are shown to reduce their life expectancy by as much as 50%.

As the Washington Examiner reported in a series on transgender children, surgery and hormone treatments can have devastating psychological and physical effects, often leading to the early onset of cancer , tumors, strokes, and other diseases, medical research shows.

‘WE ARE JUST GUINEA PIGS’: WOMEN DESCRIBE TRAUMA OF TRANSITIONING AS TEENAGERS

“It was sold as this thing that’s no big deal. If you don’t like a body part, just get rid of it,” said Candace Sharpe , who formerly identified as transgender and had a hysterectomy and mastectomy in her teens. “Now, I have chronic pain all over my chest. I’m stuck on painkillers.”

Dozens of cases were uncovered in which teenagers had debilitating problems due to medical procedures, including a transgender teenager who killed herself by standing in front of a train. She had been taking hormone blockers and testosterone shots after being counseled at high school that this was her correct path in life.

However, the Department of Health and Human Services mentions none of this in its two-page document titled “Gender Affirming Care and Young People.” The document pushes for early medical intervention on children and was released Thursday, a day President Joe Biden proclaimed a “ Transgender Day of Visibility .”

“For transgender and nonbinary children and adolescents, early gender affirming care is crucial to overall health and well-being as it allows the child or adolescent to focus on social transitions and can increase their confidence while navigating the healthcare system,” the document said .

Among the list of HHS-approved procedures are mastectomies, hysterectomies, and male genital removal. These are referred simply as “top surgery to create male-typical chest shape or enhance breasts” and “bottom surgery on genitals or reproductive organs.”



The HHS document stresses that the procedures are safe and needed for transgender well-being:

“Research demonstrates that gender-affirming care improves the mental health and overall well-being of gender diverse children and adolescents. Because gender-affirming care encompasses many facets of healthcare needs and support, it has been shown to increase positive outcomes for transgender and nonbinary children and adolescents.”

But the president of the American College of Pediatricians disagrees.

Dr. Quentin Van Meter said that while he’s seen a 500% increase over the past decade in transgender children, a revolving door exists on the other end in which people are trying to revert back to their previous selves. The physical harm coming with this has caused European countries such as Sweden and Demark to outlaw procedures on minors.

“Sometimes, they have pain and agony the rest of their lives,” he said. “Blocking puberty in the adolescent does irreversible harm to bone density, and it sterilizes the patient. It’s really irreversible.”

For Sharpe, the battle to be normal again will take a lifetime. She will never be able to have children.

“The doctor sold it like it was worth the risk because, 'You need it,’” she said. “Does anyone really need that kind of surgery, especially a young girl at 17?”

The percentage of U.S. adults who identify as LGBT is 7.1%, according to Gallup . That number jumps significantly to 21% when just focusing on "Generation Z," those born between 1997 and 2003.

I saw no mention of extensive psychological assessment in the article. When this surgery first became available in the late 1960s, extensive social histories and psychological assessment were required. These were all adults and many were not selected due to psychological problems. A lot of these teens need psychotherapy instead.

Anyone that doubts that leftist democrats are sick, twisted people can put that doubt to rest. These people are pure evil.

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...mmunities-every-day/

Biden is planning to hugely expand his Catch and Release network at the United States-Mexico border, after ending the Title 42 border control authority, by increasing the number of border crossers and illegal aliens who will be put on buses and flights to American communities.

On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that the administration would end Title 42 — a broad authority that allows federal immigration officials to quickly return border crossers and illegal aliens to their native countries.

As a result, Biden officials are readily admitting that about half a million border crossers and illegal aliens are expected to show up at the U.S.-Mexico border every month. This is the equivalent of a population the size of Atlanta, Georgia, arriving at the border over the course of just 28 to 30 days.

With an impending flood of illegal immigration, the Washington Post reports that Biden’s top officials are readying an expansion of their Catch and Release network where border crossers and illegal aliens are briefly detained, bused into border towns provided by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) contracted by the federal government, and flown into American communities across the country.

In January 2022, alone, Biden’s administration released more than 62,500 border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities. This is in addition to the tens of thousands of illegal aliens who are expected to have successfully entered the U.S., undetected by officials.

This year, experts predict more than 2.1 million will arrive.

The ghost of Josef Mengele is alive in the Democrat party. This is all about population control. Every "trans" teen become infertile as a result of their transition.

Which one is it sleepy? Relief for the lower/middle class or rich elite's subsidies for Teslas? Pick one.
