When is a lie not a lie? When MSM refuses to call Biden on his lies. Biden did it again. Told a whopper and gets away with it. The latest?
“No president has had the run we’ve had in terms of creating jobs and bringing down inflation. It was 9% when I came to office — 9%,” the 81-year-old president said on Wednesday, when inflation was just 1.4% when he came into office in Jan. 2021.
Why is the state with the largest oil reserves have the highest gasoline prices? First it’s the taxes. Second it’s the lack of drilling off shore where they have a goldmine of reserves. And of course horizontal drilling (fracking ) is mostly non existent.
The national average for a gallon of gas waffled up and down over the past week before settling higher by two cents at $3.67. The slight increase in pump prices happened despite a lull in domestic gasoline demand and falling oil prices.
“From a demand perspective, we have entered the pre-Memorial Day funk,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. “And the cost of a barrel of oil is nearly $10 less than two weeks ago, as oil prices have fallen into the upper $70s. This may keep pump prices somewhat flat for the immediate future.”
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand rose slightly from 8.42 million b/d to 8.62 last week. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks increased by .4 million bbl to 227.1 million bbl. Tepid demand, increasing supply, and falling oil prices could lower pump prices.
Today’s national average is $3.67, 14 cents more than a month ago and 8 cents more than a year ago. Below is California as of May 3rd. I paid $3.09 yesterday here in Ohio.

Biden asks MSM to not report his asinine, lying, fake news, and mental lapses. Oh those weren’t his words, but that’s what he meant. Below are his words.
I’m sincerely not asking of you to take sides but asking you to rise up to the seriousness of the moment; move past the horserace numbers and the gotcha moments and the distractions, the sideshows that have come to dominate and sensantio- — sensationalize our politics; and focus on what’s actually at stake. I think, in your hearts, you know what’s at stake. The stakes couldn’t be higher.
So he’s asking the media to not cover the truth or show his mental miscues and the weaponization of the justice department.
More of Biden’s lies.
“He said he wants to be a dictator on day one,” Biden told the crowd of journalists, lawmakers, celebrities and others, characterizing remarks Trump repeatedly made about the southern border and drilling efforts. “He promised a bloodbath when he loses again. We have to take this seriously. Eight years ago we could’ve written it off as just Trump talk but no longer.”
California has increased battery capacity by 1,250% since 2019. Meaning that they still need fossil fuel for 20 plus years.
California has enough fossil fuel to power the whole country for who knows how long. But they continue to put their faith in wind and solar. Where are they today?
California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday that while the state is continuing to add to its battery storage, it is not enough to avoid blackouts during heat waves, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Newsom said the state had battery storage systems with the capacity of 10,000 megawatts, 20% of the 52,000 megawatts California said is needed to meet climate goals, the Times reported. Newsom said California aims to have 100% clean energy by 2045.
Oh Canada. Canada Pension Plan Investment Board invests $300 million into fossil fuels.
Does my heart good to see our friends to the north will invest $300 million to a company that is drilling for oil and natural gas in my backyard. Encino Acquisition Partners LLC has secured a $300 million equity investment commitment from the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board to support the energy firm’s accelerated development of the oil play in Ohio’s Utica/Point Pleasant shale region, the company said.
The energy company has emerged as the largest oil producer in Ohio – its 78 wells across the state in 2023 produced 13.8 million barrels in 2023, or approximately half of total production.
Last year witnessed a dramatic leap in overall oil production statewide, according to ODNR. In 2023, horizontal wells across Ohio produced 27.7 million barrels of oil, a 41% increase from the 19.6 million barrels produced in 2022 and a nearly 70% increase from the 16.4 million barrels produced in 2021.
The National debt is rising by $1 trillion about every 100 days. No Kidding.You know you’re in trouble when CNBC says Biden is spending like a drunken sailor. Every 100 days we go deeper into debt.
What’s unbelievable is that every month this first quarter the revenues grew. So did you pay the bills? No he spent more than we brought in.
Trump had around 7 trillion in debt. 3 trillion because of COVID. Remember a Democrat House and Senate passed that spending . Biden after three years? The national debt has grown by over $6.24 trillion since Biden took office in 2021. Also no COVID pandemic since he had three vaccines he claimed were life savers. Tell that to the million plus folks who died under Joe’s watch.
Let’s have some cartoons.
Let’s take a look at some cartoons. The fun side of what’s going on in todays world. Post some of your own in the comments section.
Energy costs up 30%. So what does Biden do? Raises them even more. With all that’s been done to this country and our economy, the Biden administration now thinks that going after light bulbs will save the world?
The Biden administration is now taking aim at lightbulbs as part of its climate agenda, announcing Friday new efficiency standards that will “slash harmful greenhouse gas pollution” and set levels that can only be met by LED bulbs.
Failed in Afghanistan, Failed at the border. Failed with Iran. And failed big time with the economy. So what’s left? The only good news is that this takes effect in 2028 and these folks will be long gone by then.
I told you so. California Unions demands $20.00 an hour for all folks on the bottom.
They didn’t even wait for the ink to dry. So now the Unions are demanding that everyone gets paid a minimum of $$20.00 an hour. So, a person who gets hired tomorrow gets $20. A person who has been an employee for say 2 years, they get $20.
Across California, labor groups are calling for a $20 minimum wage for all workers. Ahead of the law coming into effect, restaurant owners and other industry insiders warned that the law would be detrimental to small businesses and consumers. Told you so.
So what does the loon say who supports this madness? “Frankly, inflation has already happened, and many prices have already gone up. Grocery store prices have already gone up. And so, it’s not a matter of we can’t raise wages anymore because prices might go up,” she said.
“Prices have already gone up. If we don’t keep wages in step with the rising cost of living, either workers will leave the state or these other horrible things happen.”
Yes Virginia there were 300,000 new jobs. Part-Time and foreign born workers. So the MSM and the fanatics on the left are rejoicing about the jobs report. A report that states new jobs are mostly part time and foreign workers including the undocumented are benefitting. Also more people under Bidenomics are working two jobs.
Gains tilted heavily to part-time workers in the household survey. Full-time workers fell by 6,000, while part-timers increased by 691,000. Multiple job holders rose by 217,000, to 5.2% of the total employment level.
