Crude oil prices surge toward $94 and are now trading at their highest levels since August 2022.

Oil prices are up 38% in just 3 months and the national average gas price is about to cross $4.00.

Furthermore, oil prices are now 35% ABOVE where the US wanted to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR).

Inventories in US reserves remain at their lowest levels since 1983.

If the US attempts to refill reserves now, we will see oil prices skyrocket.

What does the US do now as gas prices soar?

The obvious intelligent answer is to drill and pump; this criminal administration will continue down the same path to make electric cars more appealing to unintelligent rubes that think the grid can handle it.

Obama said years ago we need to get rid of cheap oil and gas to make "green" energy attractive. That is the plan.

Not terribly long. Certainly worth listening to.

James Biden, brother of President Joe Biden, confirmed to the FBI last year that his family tried to help CEFC China Energy Co. purchase a U.S. liquid natural gas facility in Louisiana, according to documents released Wednesday by the House Ways and Means Committee.

CEFC, closely linked to the CCP and Chinese President Xi Jinping, was chaired by Ye Jianming, an associate of Hunter Biden. James Biden told the FBI he personally met once with Jianming about CEFC’s interest in acquiring the liquid natural gas facility.

“James B noted that RHB portrayed CEFC to him as Chairman Ye was a protégé of President Xi,” FBI agents noted in a memo.

“James B recalled that the life changing meeting was the deal with Monkey Island. Monkey Island was off the coast of Louisiana near the Gulf of Mexico. James B stated that there was room for a port to be developed and that the properties were pre-approved,” the FBI memo said. “The island was 50-100 miles from the Gulf of Mexico and that there was a clear passage to offload and load gas. CEFC was supposed to buy it from Greg Michaels (‘Michaels’) (the CEO and Owner in control of Monkey Island).”

James Biden also told investigators that he worked with Louisiana state officials to cut regulatory red tape to benefit the deal. “James B recalled talking with appropriate people in the governor’s office regarding the permits and recalled that it was supposed to be on a fast track,” the FBI memo stated.

The deal never materialized.

James and Hunter Biden’s CEFC partner, Ye, is a key individual in the Biden family’s Chinese business. Ye paid Hunter a $1 million retainer fee for legal services in 2017. Hunter also received a large diamond from Ye in February 2017 worth an estimated $80,000. Ye “had direct abiding and deep ties to Chinese intelligence when they were arranging these ideals for the Bidens,” according to Breitbart News senior contributor and Government Accountability Institute president Peter Schweizer.

“The Bidens are the best I know at doing exactly what the chairman wants from this partnership,” Hunter Biden told a CEFC associate in 2017.

Democrats brazenly continue to insist there is no evidence of wrongdoing. It's the "who you gonna believe, us or your lying eyes" defense.

I'm seeing the "I did that!" stickers locally again.

Up .20 this week to $5.34 for regular.

House Oversight Subpoenas Hunter and Jim Biden's Personal Bank Records

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chair of the House Oversight Committee, fired another shot at the Biden family, specifically Hunter Biden and the president’s brother, James. Congressional Republicans want their personal banking records. The announcement comes from the first hearing in the impeachment inquiry into allegations that the Biden family, including Joe, were engaged in an influence-peddling scheme that spanned years

DOJ Investigators Ordered to ‘Remove Any Reference’ to Joe Biden in FARA Warrant

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...den-in-fara-warrant/

An email released Wednesday by the House Ways and Means Committee shows Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf ordered investigators in August 2020 to remove any reference to “Political Figure 1” from a search warrant. A document subsequently released showed that President Joe Biden is “Political Figure 1.”

“As a priority, someone needs to redraft attachment B,” Wolf wrote in an email. “I am not sure what this is cut and pasted from but other than the attribution location, and identity stuff at the end, none of it is appropriate and within the scope of this warrant.”

“Please focus on FARA [Foreign Agents Registration Act] evidence only. There should be nothing about Political Figure 1 in here,” she added.

A second document the committee released Wednesday showed “Political Figure 1” is “Former Vice President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.”

The document says:

VP BIDEN is currently the Democratic Party Presidential candidate for the United States and served as the 47th officeholder for the position of the Office of the Vice President of the United States (VPOTUS) in the Barack Obama Administration from January 20, 2009 to January 20, 2017. He is the father of SUBJECT 1.

The documents were made public after the committee voted to approve more disclosures from IRS whistleblowers. Wolf is at the center of additional allegations levied by IRS whistleblowers.

The committee also released information from a May 2021 report generated by IRS investigators that noted Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Kevin Morris, could have committed campaign finance violations — which Wolf told investigators to ignore. “There may be campaign finance criminal violations based on interviews and a review of the evidence,” Wolf allegedly stated. But a Department of Justice (DOJ) official told the investigators to ignore the allegation, noting she was not “personally interested,” IRS whistleblower handwritten notes show:

IRS whistleblowers also alleged Wolf refused to allow investigators to ask about Joe Biden being “the big guy” and that the DOJ twice prevented Weiss from bringing stronger charges against Hunter Biden.

The recent revelations come as House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) held the first impeachment inquiry hearing. “At least ten times, Joe Biden lied to the American people that he never spoke to his family about their business dealings,” Comer said in his opening statement.

“He lied by telling the American people that there was an “absolute wall” between his official government duties and his personal life,” he added. “Let’s be clear: there was no wall. The door was wide open to those who purchased what a business associate described as the ‘Biden Brand.’”

"Something Dangerous Is Happening In America" - Biden Warns Of Trump's "Extremist Movement", Blasts Republicans' Silence


President Joe Biden delivered a speech about democracy on Sept. 28 in Arizona, a key battleground state for the 2024 election. He took aim at his predecessor, President Donald Trump, and expressed concerns about a "dangerous" trend unfolding in the United States.

“As I’ve always been clear, democracy is not a partisan issue. It’s an American issue,” President Biden said.

“But there is something dangerous happening in America. There is an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy. The MAGA Movement.”

According to the White House, this is the fourth speech by the president focused on democracy.

President Biden began his speech by honoring the legacy of his late friend and colleague Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and announcing the creation of the McCain Library.

Mr. McCain's family and Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, were among those in attendance during his speech in Tempe, Arizona.

“I have come to honor the McCain Institute and Library because they are home to a proud Republican who put country first,” President Biden said.

“Not every Republican—not even the majority of Republicans—adhere to the extremist MAGA ideology. I know because I’ve been able to work with Republicans my whole career.

"But there is no question that today’s Republican Party is driven and intimidated by MAGA extremists.”

SENATE JOINS HOUSE TO STOP BIDEN CUTS OF SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Sep 28, 2023 | 0 comments

BELLEVUE, WA – Only hours after the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms blasted the Biden administration’s attempt to eliminate funding for school hunter education and archery programs, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed bipartisan legislation to prevent the cuts, and now the White House has confirmed President Biden will sign the Protecting Hunting Heritage and Education Act.

The bill passed the House 424-1 Tuesday. It was championed by members of both parties who recognized the administration had deliberately misinterpreted tenets of the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to cut funding for hunter safety, archery and other student programs.

“Joe Biden may be incapable of reading the writing on the wall,” said a jubilant CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “but there is no question the House and Senate members who almost unanimously passed this legislation do not suffer from the same foggy vision.”

"passed the House 424-1/U.S. Senate unanimously passed " Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Chief. "passed the House 424-1/U.S. Senate unanimously passed " .

Ummm, can anyone tell me who was the one Congressman that stood with tyranny?

quote:

The GOP-controlled House Administration Committee, which oversees issues pertaining to the Capitol complex, posted a picture of a person pulling the fire alarm who appeared to be Bowman.

The New York lawmaker told reporters hours later that it was a mistake and that he was rushing to get to votes and was trying to get through a door that is usually open

Those are two entirely different things. Pulling a wall mounted fire alarm is not the same as pushing an alarmed push bar on a door.

Somebody is a liar, and that is:

How about an obstructing an official proceeding charge. You think the FBI will give him the dawn raid?

Think he will end up in a D.C. Gulag?

I have little doubt that he is dumb enough to pull the fire station thinking it’s a door opener. He’s probably absolutely that dumb.

He's a former school principal and knows what students do to get out of exams.

So if he claims he pulled the fire alarm (as opposed to pushing a button that I've seen on many doors) there ought to be other video of him doing this before.

He claims he was trying to open a door but he only has paperwork in one hand and the other one is empty.

He's full of shit and he was clearly trying to buy time to slow up the vote.

Since this was done to disrupt official House proceedings, he needs the perp walk but I have a feeling that the Capitol Police will give him the skin color litmus test and if he's darker than Ricardo Montalban, he's going to get a pass. BS.

Breitbart has exclusive info that the door was clearly marked with warning signs.

He threw them on the ground, tried to lean on the door to open it and when it wouldn't open, he walked over and pulled the alarm that is bright red and marked Fire Alarm.

After he set it off, he didn't go out that door but ran away and exited through another door. No apologies at the time.

He's clearly full of shit and needs to face consequences.
