When it comes to energy production, the midterm elections matter

The day before Joe Biden entered the Oval Office, America was a net energy exporter with a rapidly growing economy, despite the effects of the Democrat-demand lockdowns. On his first day in the Oval Office, Biden immediately took steps to cut America’s energy production and, by vetoing the Keystone Pipeline, its access to energy. America instantly began an inflationary climb that accelerated with the War in Ukraine. What a Senate Energy Committee hearing revealed is that the Biden administration is only just getting started. If America is to survive, Biden’s wings must be clipped and that can only be done with a veto-proof majority in Congress.

Two amazing moments emerged from the Senate Energy Committee hearing, one on the watch of Sen. Joe Manchin (D. WV) and the other during questioning by Sen. Dan Sullivan (R. AK). Sen. Manchin’s moment came when he questioned Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, a woman with absolutely no business holding the position. Haaland has no background in land management. Instead, her sole qualification is that her mother is Native American, which is how Haaland (whose father is a Norwegian Minnesotan) identifies herself.

In her position as Interior Secretary, Haaland controls domestic oil and gas resource development—that is, she presides over leasing out federal land. Before Manchin even got to the killer question, watch what happened to Haaland when she was asked about soaring gasoline prices (and pay attention to her assistant’s frantic note writing as Haaland got lost in a sea of “ums”):

I am a big fan of Andrea Widburg, but I think a veto-proof Senate and House is a bridge too far. Way way too far.
To be perfectly honest, in today’s world of computerized election cheat—uh er—adjustment, that’s the word, computerized vote adjustment, I seriously doubt the Republican party will gain seats in either house.

The mid-terms are not going to change anything and will reinforce the disaster if the Dominion voting machines, or any computer voting machines are used as widely as they were in 2020. The voters’ choices do not affect the vote count beyond the total vote. The algorithm distributes the vote in preset manner. That is indicated by the vote counts on many machines last time having fractional votes. Candidate X received 34156.354 votes and Candidate Y received 43927.756 votes. That happens when a percentage is switched. There were also many reports of individual vote switching when voters entered their choices and the “glitches” only favored the Democrats. I am not optimistic about this election. When the Democrats cheat they are often pretty heavy handed. The tech moguls rig the system with more finesse. I will not be surprised if the Democrats take all or almost all contested seats. And the Republicans traditionally enable the Democrat cheating by simply accepting it- “Well, we lost, we must try harder next time,” or say things like “If all of us get out and vote we can overwhelm the cheating, “and will not countenance any actual challenge to the rigging.
