Joe lies and what did you think would happen? What happened 8-26-2021 will go down as a day that Americans must never forget. Joe lied and our soldiers died. Is this the icing on the cake?
We’ve had one major screw up after another. The opening of our southern border. The loss of thousands of good paying jobs with the closing of the pipeline and banning of fracking and drilling. The out of control inflation. COVID mess, begging OPEC to produce more oil. And the deaths of our soldiers in Afghanistan.
What do all of these screw ups have in common? Biden saying the buck stops with me. But it’s Donald Trumps fault. SMH.
Thanks Joe Biden. Why we need to change course in 2022. Inflation higher than expected in June as price index rises 5.4%. But but the fed said this is just short term remember? Yeah right.
Inflation continued its rapid surge in June, rising its fastest pace in nearly 13 years, the Labor Department reported Tuesday.
The consumer price index increased 5.4% from a year ago, the largest jump since just before the financial crisis. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been expecting a 5% gain.
Where was Garland,Biden, Harris, National Guard,etc? A second insurrection happened against the White House and the U.S. Government. Well known hate groups blocked all 10 entrances to the White House Tuesday? Where was the outrage? This is the second time that an assault was launched against the people’s house. First being last June.
Today we showed up to @JoeBiden’s doorstep with 500+ people and blockaded every entrance to the white house, demanding that he include a fully funded #CivilianClimateCorps in his infrastructure bill.
Secret Service arrested “dozens” of climate change activists who blocked entrances to the White House on Monday demanding the Biden administration prioritize Green New Deal initiatives in current infrastructure talks. Guess who set them off?
Reprint. Judge halts Biden pause on new public lands oil leasing.
A federal judge has issued an order temporarily blocking the Biden administration’s pause on new oil and gas leasing on public land and waters.
The preliminary injunction from U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty follows lawsuits over the leasing pause from more than a dozen Republican-led states. Doughty, a Trump appointee in Louisiana, did not make an ultimate determination as to the legality of the pause on Tuesday, but rather blocked the move while the court case against it proceeds.
However, he did find that the states had a “substantial” likelihood to succeed on the merits of their claim and that they were able to demonstrate a “substantial” threat of irreparable harm.
The ruling is something of a setback for the Biden administration, which had paused issuing new drilling leases on federally-owned land and water while it reviews and reconsiders its current leasing and permitting practices. An Interior Department spokesperson told The Hill via email that the department will abide by the decision while continuing its review.
“We are reviewing the judge’s opinion and will comply with the decision,” the spokesperson said. “The Interior Department continues to work on an interim report that will include initial findings on the state of the federal conventional energy programs, as well as outline next steps and recommendations for the Department and Congress to improve stewardship of public lands and waters, create jobs, and build a just and equitable energy future.”
During the pause — which did not have an end date but was expected to last at least until the end of June — the administration continued to issue new permits on existing leases while existing drilling was able to continue.
While on the campaign trail, President Biden pledged to ban new oil and gas permitting on public lands and waters, but since taking office, his administration has not said whether it ultimately hopes to do so.
The Energy Department’s statistics agency found in a March analysis that the pause is expected to have “no effects” until 2022. But in his decision, Doughty argued that the states will eventually face losses as a result.
“Even though existing leases are proceeding, the fact that new oil and gas leases on federal lands and in federal waters are paused will ultimately result in losses to Plaintiff States which they will likely not be able to recover,” he wrote.
The pause sparked significant backlash from Republicans as well as the oil and gas industry. Many of these opponents celebrated Tuesday’s decision and called for the administration to lift the pause entirely.
“This decision is a victory for the rule of law and American energy workers,” said a statement from Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.).
“The president’s illegal ban has hurt workers and deprived Wyoming and other states of a principal source of revenue that they use for public education. President Biden should immediately rescind his punishing ban,” he said.
You sure Obama isn’t still President? Biden looks abroad for electric vehicle metals, in blow to U.S. miners. We will never forget how Obama created millions of jobs in China and Mexico. His famous words were that manufacturing obs were a thing of the past in the United States. Well Joe’s going to continue the Obama ways.
Joe said we would be world leaders in the building of Electric Vehicles. Part left out was that those metals used, would come from countries overseas. Joe’s friends in Canada, Australia, Brazil and others.
US mines and American workers would be left out of these good paying jobs. Why? Joe’s payback o the Environmental terrorist groups. According to Reuters, look what’s going on under Joe.
The U.S. government in April became the largest shareholder in mining investment firm TechMet, which controls a Brazilian nickel project, a Rwandan tungsten mine and is a major investor in a Canadian battery recycler.
Washington also funds research into Canadian cobalt projects and rare earths projects in Malawi, among other international investments.
The Welfare Queen is back. Only difference is that Joe Biden made her and him white, black, brown, and red. She was a creation during the Reagan years. Some of it true, most of it was not. But we had made great strides towards deflating that myth about blacks. Until now.
Biden and his policies of forget working for a living and have the government provide for all, has created Welfare Queen lifestyle for all races. Unlimited and enhanced unemployment, free college, more social benefits, and the list just grows.
This man has taken the work ethic and created a a welfare ethic. According to Joe, gone are the days of making A LIVING FOR YOURSELF AND FAMILY.
Phillip said, “Domestically here in the United States, you have these really, I think, searing visuals. If you’re of a certain age, it particularly brings you back to — I think Republicans would love to bring people back to the Carter years. But these gas lines it is a psychological problem. Maybe it is temporary, but for the American public, there is something psychological about hearing about inflation and seeing gas lines and literally going to the pump in certain Southern states and not being able to get gas.”
In the face of most Democrats’ opposition, US Steel cancels a billion-dollar investment.
BRADDOCK, Pennsylvania — Exactly two years ago, U.S. Steel Corporation announced that the company would turn its Mon Valley operations into a key source of lightweight steel for the automotive industry.
At the time, local leaders and company officials called the investment “transformational.”

It involved a whopping $1.5 billion upgrade to its Mon Valley Works. This included an upgrade of the Edgar Thomson Works in Braddock, the Irvin Plant in West Mifflin, and Clairton Coke Works, with technology and improvements that would have provided cleaner air for all three communities where the plants are located, as well as good-paying jobs that would have provided prosperity for the region for decades.
On Friday, U.S. Steel said after months of tug-of-war with the Allegheny County Health Department, it is canceling the $1.5 billion upgrade and idling three batteries at Clairton Coke Works by 2023.
U.S. Steel said in a statement that a dragged-out delay from Allegheny County officials for permitting the project contributed to their decision, along with the new direction that the company is taking to focus on sustainability.
Allegheny County chief executive Rich Fitzgerald, a city Democrat, said he was “blindsided by the news.”
Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, also a Democrat, said he was simply devastated. “It is heartbreaking,” said Fetterman, whose home is across the street from the sprawling 148-year-old Edgar Thomson Works that hugs the Monongahela River.
Local economic development forecasters estimate over 1,000 direct jobs will be lost. Countless more support jobs that would have facilitated the build-out are also gone.
Jeff Nobers, the president of Pittsburgh Works, an economic group made up of officials in manufacturing, steel, energy, and labor unions, said the unknown costs and future implications due to this decision are formidable and long-lasting. “We have to be thinking about what manufacturers who were looking to locate here are thinking,” he said. “Do they look at the climate here and wonder if it is worth it? Well, that is a problem too.”
Local elected officials are of several minds on this project. Most of them were just hoping it would fly under the radar of the climate justice warriors and go up without notice. That was never going to happen. The rest fully backed its demise because of their views on climate change.
One exception has been Fetterman, the progressive populist Democrat who is seeking his party’s nomination to run for the Senate seat being vacated by Republican Pat Toomey in 2022. He was a vocal supporter of the project, which sometimes placed him at odds within his own party’s ranks. His support created a strange alliance for him with Republican state lawmakers such as Allegheny County state Sen. Devlin Robinson and the state senate majority leader, Kim Ward.
Ward said that although she does not agree with Fetterman on much, “I sure do on this one.”
Robinson agreed. “The constant rhetoric attacking manufacturing in this country is going to impact jobs,” he said. “That is not something to worry about in the future — it is happening right in front of us.”
Critics of the closure also point to the constant drumbeat coming from local environmental justice nonprofit groups and reporting organizations funded by elite, left-wing foundations such as the Heinz Endowments. These, they argue, are contributing to a hostile business climate.
The Edgar Thomson Works, named after a Pennsylvania Railroad president, was built by Andrew Carnegie in the 1870s on the site of an old French and Indian War battlefield.
U.S. Steel also told its investors that they are reallocating capital to other places — which means all of the work that was going to go here is likely going someplace where bureaucrats are less beholden to (or aligned with) environmentalists.
Fetterman calls the moment an opportunity lost: “We could have made the safest, greenest steel in the world right here in Braddock. We could have secured thousands of good-paying union jobs.”
Now, that opportunity is gone.
President Joe Biden said in his joint speech in front of Congress that there there’s no reason that steel can’t be continually manufactured in the United States and by doing it in a safe and green way, in a environmentally efficient way. Biden even riffed, “There’s no reason the blades for wind turbines can’t be built in Pittsburgh instead of Beijing.”
“Well, that’s what this investment was about,” said Robinson. “This $1.5 billion was about making steel in a more environmentally friendly way. But the current environment right now is so hostile to manufacturing, manufacturers know making things in America is not a viable option. Especially not now, and especially not into the future, where they’re going to see a return on their investment.”
Manufacturers may have to relocate to places where there are no unions or outside the country. This makes hollow Biden’s promise to protect union jobs and bring back manufacturing — and it will be doubly hollow if he looks the other way when things like this happen.
This conflict between manufacturing and environmentalism is also going to place Biden at odds with both. Biden argues that a decarbonizing economy will create millions of jobs. Here, however, it meant zero jobs created and perhaps many destroyed.
Don’t tell me that affirmative action doesn’t exist. Just listen to what this loon has to say. To say that this person is educated, is a joke. Just another affirmative rainbow pick of Joe’s. Council of Economic Advisers chair Cecilia Rouse said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that they expect to see some “transitory inflation” as America is coming out of the coronavirus pandemic.
They have been pumping oil under the Great Lakes since 1953. Now the Governor is worried about drinking water? Enbridge is the worlds largest oil mover. They move over 540,000 barrels of oil a day. What do you think happens to the price of both gasoline and natural gas if this is halted?
Enbridge said Tuesday it would defy Michigan’s demand to shut down an oil pipeline that runs through a channel linking two of the Great Lakes, contending that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s decision was based on bad information and political posturing.
This not only effects the US, but Canada also. So far Enbridge has refused to comply. They have till May 12.
