Amid pressures of the midterms, gas prices, inflation, and economic uncertainty, President Joe Biden announced a plan he claims will produce a "profit for taxpayers" – and it includes a long overdue call for oil companies to increase production. Biden is releasing 15 million more barrels of oil from the U.S Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) now, calling for U.S. oil companies to ramp up production, and offering them a $70 per barrel guaranteed price to sell it back to the U.S. government to refill the SPR in the future when demand falls and the price drops below $70 per barrel....

The Russian military has declared that it will continue to strike Ukrainian military and energy infrastructure targets. On Tuesday, General Igor Konashenkov, the spokesman for Russia’s defense ministry, confirmed that the strikes that have been occurring have been carried out with high-precision long-range air-and-sea-based weapons. In addition, he announced that U.S.-supplied rocket and radar systems have been destroyed.

We and our readers knew about Joe Biden’s pay-to-play corruption before the 2020 election, but far too many Americans had nary a clue. And then 81 million of them voted for Biden primarily because they thought he was a decent guy who was preferable to President Mean Tweets. Had the American people only known what a corrupt liar Biden really is, had they only paid attention to Donald Trump’s stellar record instead of his mouth, we might not now be suffering under 40-year-high inflation and various other malaise brought about by Biden’s disastrous administration. In October 2020, when news first...

When things are bad, it’s Putin’s fault. “I have been doing everything in my power to reduce gas prices since Putin’s invasion of Ukraine caused prices to spike,” Biden said. ....snip..... Biden also absurdly claimed he will be refilling the oil reserve at $70 a barrel to make money. “By selling from the [oil reserve] at the higher price of $90 earlier this year and then re-filling it in the future at a lower price around $70 will actually make money,” said Biden. Just two years ago the Democrats blocked President Trump from filling the Strategic Oil Reserves at $24...

The group is calling for a probe into the death of 34-year-old Ali Osman, who was shot by Phoenix officers Saturday after police say he refused to stop throwing rocks at them. “Because of the circumstances of this disturbing incident, we call on city officials to conduct an independent and transparent investigation in order to determine whether the actions of the officers were within policy guidelines and the boundaries...

Nearly every day there is a report of a young, fit individual, usually a man, who suffers unexplained sudden death now termed “sudden adult death syndrome.” Because COVID-19 vaccination is highly prevalent and linked to the development of heart inflammation and myocarditis, it is a conservative and reasonable conclusion that unless otherwise ruled out, sudden adult death syndrome is a consequence of myocarditis. The differential diagnosis could include other vaccine related serious adverse events including fatal pulmonary embolism, multisystem inflammatory disorder, and vaccine induced thrombocytopenic purpura. Unlike sudden death, most of the other conditions give patients and doctors a...

Evidently no longer content to flush public money down just any old toilet, the city of San Francisco is upping its toilet game and is prepared to spend up to $1.7 million to build a single commode in one neighborhood plaza.

Intriguing footage captured by a security camera shows a strange aerial object moving in the nighttime skies of Kansas City, MO. The host of Hidden Underbelly 2.0 has conjectured that we may be looking at a partially cloaked UFO. The video was reportedly recorded on October 13th, 2022, and when Anthony B. saw the object moving on his home screen, he ran outside to see it in person, but it had already vanished. In the soundless footage, the curiously-shaped craft, which has a partially transparent quality, can be seen moving behind a set of trees, which suggests it has some...

The Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra extended the COVID emergency declaration., "I know that the President said the pandemic is over, but the emergency declaration allows us to bypass statutory law if we feel it would be beneficial," the Secretary pointed out. The House Health Subcommittee's Republican Leader Brett Guthrie (R-Ken) castigated Becerra's action, calling it "a refusal to learn from previous mistakes. The arbitrary rulings under emergency powers cost our economy trillions of dollars, worsened the health of Americans, and trampled on our basic freedoms. We need to end, not extend this dangerous vehicle...
