A Warning to the Biden-Pelosi-AOC Woke: What Boebert’s and MTG’s Disruptive Behavior at SOTU Portends

I miss that Lost America. I hate the coarseness that has replaced it, where a sleaze like a Cardi B can become a success by writing the most disgusting lyrics I ever have seen — and yet can be solicited by a Joe Biden during a presidential campaign to help win young voters. 

 Globalist   "At last week’s State of the Union address (SOTU), Representatives Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) disrupted. At one point, Joe Biden made a reference to potentially carcinogenic burn pits in military zones, and Boebert yelled that Biden caused 13 military deaths in Afghanistan. At another point, Boebert and MTG chanted “Build the Wall.” It is nice they have found each other so they do not become dispirited pariahs in Congress, demoralized by isolation. Like The Squad, they seem to be forming a ladies’ clique. Good.". . .

. . ."Before Republicans showed disrespect to a Democrat president at a SOTU address, it was Obama who broke protocols by insulting Supreme Court justices attending a SOTU. That just is not done. Obama did it once and never again because, as of the next SOTU, the attacked justices predictably reciprocally stopped attending Obama SOTU addresses. Trump was treated disrespectfully for four years, so now Biden is treated that way. For all the fun of chanting “Let’s Go, Brandon!” this did not emerge from a vacuum. That is how it works.

"If Obama had not behaved in manners aimed at humiliating opponents like John McCain, and if Democrats had treated Trump civilly, and if Nancy Pelosi had been proper with Boebert and MTG, they would not have broken protocol at SOTU.". . .


Obama White House Doctor Calls For Immediate Biden Resignation: ‘Not Cognitively Capable Of Leading’

 Obama White House Doctor Calls For Immediate Biden Resignation: ‘Not Cognitively Capable Of Leading’ | The Daily Wire

. . ."'The whole country is seeing his mental cognitive issues on display for over a year now, and there’s really no question in most people’s minds that there’s something going on with him, that he’s not cognitively the same as he used to be and, in my mind, not fit to be our president right now,” Jackson said during an interview last month. “Every time he gets up and talks to the American people, it’s not just the American people that are watching him speak, it’s the whole world, and that’s part of what the problem is here. He looks tired, he looks weak, he looks confused, he’s incoherent, and it sends a message of weakness all over the world, and they’re seizing up on that.”

“ 'He’s got 40 years of tape, you can go back and look at this man, so it’s not like we don’t have anything to compare it to,” Jackson said. “You can go back and look, he’s always made gaffes, he’s always made missteps, but never like this. This is something different. These aren’t gaffes. … This is something much more serious.”

"Jackson said that Biden’s mental fitness for office, or a lack thereof, “was on full display during the debacle in Afghanistan” and that it could “get more Americans killed” and “ultimately get us in a war because of his lack of leadership.' ”. . .

Biden’s Inflation Problem Is about More Than Putin

 

Biden's Inflation Problem Is about More Than Putin | National Review   "The February inflation report is in, and it’s at 7.9 percent, the highest rate since January 1982. Also in January 1982, the San Francisco 49ers, led by Joe Montana, defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in the Super Bowl at the Pontiac Silverdome. 
"Unlike in 1982, though, the Silverdome no longer exists, inflation is going up, not down, and while there’s a famous Joe in the headlines, he certainly isn’t “Joe Cool.” President Biden greeted the news from the Bureau of Labor Statistics by saying, “Today’s inflation report is a reminder that Americans’ budgets are being stretched by price increases and families are starting to feel the impacts of Putin’s price hike.”
"Putin’s price hike? It certainly matters for the global oil market that the dictator of the third-largest producer of crude oil invaded his neighbor unprovoked. The sanctions on the Russian economy will cause problems for energy, metals, and food markets for months at least. But it’s not as though inflation was coming back down and then turned around because of the war in Ukraine.
"The BLS first described our current bout of inflation as “broad-based” in its October 2021 report, and that fact hasn’t changed since then. Where the White House used to point to the soaring price of used cars and claim it was making the average look worse, the price index for used cars actually declined last month, while food and energy prices increased faster than they did in January. “All six major grocery store food group indexes increased in February,” the report says. And we all know what gas prices have done in the past few weeks.". . .

Fox News Anchor Calls Stephen Colbert an ‘Elitist A**’ Over Joke About Gas Prices

 Fox News Anchor Calls Stephen Colbert an 'Elitist A**' Over Joke About Gas Prices - Analyzing America

"Outspoken liberal comedian Stephen Colbert apparently thinks skyrocketing gas prices that hurt poor and middle-class Americans are funny.

“ 'Today the average gas price in America hit an all-time record high over $4 per gallon,” Colbert said. “Ok, that stings, but a clean conscience is worth a buck or two.”

“ 'I’m willing to pay $4 dollars a gallon. Hell, I’ll pay $15 a gallon because I drive a Tesla,” the 56-year-old comedian said, who has a net worth of $75 million.

"Fox Business anchor Dagen McDowell took issue with this joke. She responded by saying Stephen Colbert has a brand that “is unfunny, pompous, elitist a**.”

“ 'So at least he’s staying on that brand,” McDowell added.

"Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell added, “Leave it to a limousine liberal to tell you how to feel, what to think.”. . .

Biden’s America-Wrecking Climate Agenda

 The result? Americans are made to suffer unnecessarily and national security is imperiled, all for an agenda that is junk science-fueled and impractical, regardless of how you feel about United Nations’ “climate science.” This is not rational policy. It is intentional nation-wrecking.

 Biden’s America-Wrecking Climate Agenda | RealClearPolitics   " President Biden is driving fossil fuel-powered America into a wall so that he can replace it with a green energy-powered America. The Biden administration euphemizes this as a “transition.” It is not. It’s just a collision that will result in America being totaled.

"Since Joe Biden became president, he has done everything in his power to de-power America. On Day 1, he killed the Keystone XL Pipeline, halted new oil and gas drilling on public lands, and rejoined the Paris climate agreement, which commits America to cutting our greenhouse gas emissions but not China’s.

"Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency reinstated Obama-era rules to make it more expensive to produce oil and gas, issued rules to make internal combustion engine-powered cars more expensive, and gave green California the unprecedented (and probably unconstitutional) authority to dictate what kind of cars all Americans can drive. Biden has empowered the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission with the authority to block new oil and gas pipelines on the basis of climate concerns, and is continuing to halt new oil and gas drilling on federal lands in defiance of a federal court order.

"These and many other anti-fossil fuel actions have raised gasoline prices roughly one dollar per gallon since Biden took office. Then Russia invaded Ukraine, exacerbating an ongoing global energy crisis (worsened by European climate policies). Gasoline prices have increased another 60 cents since the Ukraine invasion, and are not likely to stop rising any time soon.

. . ."No House Republicans voted to impeach Trump over the Ukraine call. However, Kinzinger was one of ten House Republicans who later voted to impeach Trump for inciting the January 6 Capitol riot. Kinzinger, one of two Republicans serving on the January 6 select committee investigating the Capitol riot, announced in October that he would not seek reelection.

“ 'I also remember during that campaign saying that if I ever thought it was time to move on from Congress, I would, and that time is now,” Kinzinger said in his announcement videoHe said at the time that he had become disillusioned with the level of money, corruption, and partisan vitriol plaguing the political system.

“ 'At this moment, that government is the problem and few have risen to do anything about it. Because in this day, to prevail or survive, you must belong to a tribe. Our political parties only survive by appealing to the most motivated and most extreme elements within. And the pricetag to power has skyrocketed,” Kinzinger lamented.". . .

Gasoline Prices Headed Right Where The Democrats Want Them –

Joe Biden has managed to weaken the office of the presidency and this nation in just over a year—and the worst part is, he doesn't care.

 Issues & Insights   "While running for president, Barack Obama said electricity prices will “necessarily skyrocket” under his energy plan. As gasoline reaches unaffordable heights for many Americans, never forget that the Democratic Party wants to inflict painful energy costs on the country. It’s in its political DNA.

"As of Thursday, the average U.S. price for a gallon of regular gasoline was $4.32, the highest ever recorded in this country. A month ago, it was $3.48. A year ago, about six weeks after Joe Biden took the oath of office, it was $2.82. 

"Recent projections that the U.S. average would peak at $4.25 a gallon around Memorial Day weekend now seem quaint. Would anyone be surprised if prices were nearly double that in much of the country before they begin to recede?

"Biden has blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine for soaring prices, and swears his administration is trying to bring down prices. But the truth is, the Democratic Party wants gasoline to be priced as a luxury good, even if it hurts Democratic voters in the middle and lower economic classes:". . .

When it comes to energy, the Democrats adopt a bizarre elitist disconnect: Propelled by theological belief in end-of-days climate alarmism, they assume that Americans will join them in losing all sense of perspective and proportionality


"Well, you all imagined it," Vice President Kamala Harris commented during a so-called clean-transit event, where she appeared with her fellow tautologist, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. "That's why we're here today -- because we have the ability to see what can be, unburdened by what has been, and then to make the possible actually happen."

"When Harris and Transportation Secretary Pete get together, it's Platitudicon. As it was this week, when, as the reality of imminent historic gas price spikes was hitting Americans, the duo spent the day promoting electric cars, the Green New Deal and the Environmental Protection Agency's soon-to-be-tightened emissions standards.. . .

. . ."Despite the perpetual championing of electric vehicles, less than 1% of cars, SUVs and light trucks on the road in the United States are electric. The average cost of an electric car is $55,000. Even with layers of subsidies that artificially bring it that low, the average price of an electric car is around $19,000 higher than the price of an average gas-powered vehicle. The average Tesla goes for around $75,000. Leasing the Model S, not at the high end of the Tesla line, is still likely to cost you more than $600 per month. Not everyone is pulling in Ocasio-Cortez bucks.". . .

Morning Greatness: Inflation Hits 40-Year High Under Biden

 

AfterMath - Home (terrellaftermath.com)

. . ."Oil needs to make a number of stops before it's turned into gasoline that is ready to fill your car's tank, and that journey influences its final price at the pump. 

"0First, crude oil is either imported into the U.S. or produced domestically and moved to a refinery, where it is made into gasoline and other petroleum products.

"Most gas is then moved via pipeline to large storage terminals before being sent to smaller blending terminals, where it’s processed into finished motor gasoline. Trucks then deliver the gasoline to gas stations. 

"A gas station’s proximity to those refineries and pipelines plays a big role in the price at the pump. Stations that are farther away pay higher transportation costs to get the gas to the fueling station, which drives up overall costs."

"GasBuddy spokesperson Nicole Petersen pointed to states on the West Coast like California, Oregon and Washington, which have less access to refineries and tend to have some of the highest gas prices in the country.". . .

Joe Biden's Failure Tour Continues After Iran Deal Falls Apart - and Leaves Americans Holding the Bag

 RedState 


  ..."Still, it’s mind-numbing to watch Biden fail so spectacularly again while Americans are left holding the bag. The administration gave away so much to try to re-enter the Iran deal. That includes isolating Saudi Arabia and the UAE, who we now are begging to pump more oil. Biden went so far as to delist the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen as a terrorist group, a move that has only led to more bloodshed. Further, because the administration blew up relations with the Arab nations to appease Iran, they are now legitimizing the Maduro regime in Venezuela in another attempt to secure more oil.

"In short, Biden’s failure isn’t that he didn’t secure an Iran deal (though not for lack of trying), an objectively good thing. His failure is that he gave up so much attempting to secure that stupid, pointless deal. Now, Americans don’t even get the side-benefit of cheaper oil via sanctions being lifted on Iran, and it’s unlikely the Saudis will warm up to Biden anytime soon given they won’t even take his calls at this point.

"So yeah, this is another thrilling episode of “peak Joe Biden.” This man could run a lemonade stand into the ground. I’m starting to get comfortable asserting he’s the worst president ever. Yeah, I know we’ve had some bad ones throughout history, but Biden’s tenure makes Jimmy Carter’s look tame. The sheer amount of ineptness constantly on display is truly a sight to behold, and unfortunately, Americans are left holding the bag for it.
