It’s not really an exaggeration (if at all) to say that every single day we hear from Hillary Clinton, Liz Cheney, Joe Scarborough, the media, and others about how dangerous President Trump is—ad nauseam they declare how “like Hitler” he is. And, it seems every single day, Joe Biden issues some new executive order or regulation assaulting our freedoms and our prosperity. He knows he can’t get his radical agenda through Congress so he just goes around them. He violates his oath of office by not only refusing to enforce immigration laws that Congress passed, but sabotaging our sovereignty too.It...

An independent journalist named Savanah Hernandez took to the streets in Dallas, Texas, to ask ordinary people what they think about Joe Biden’s economy and his continued claims that everything is ok. She shares her findings in a short video segment. {Direct Rumble Link} “Biden keeps touting America’s “strongest, fastest, economic recovery” & that “Americans feel more financially comfortable”. So, I went out on the streets of Dallas to ask real Americans if this was true”… WATCH: In the background of these interviews, it is worth emphasizing that no other political candidate -from either side of the aisle- has the...

The price of gasoline has risen across the United States again as experts warn that more pain could lie ahead at the pumps for Americans.

Joe Biden's presidency isn't even a year old, but anonymous Republican foot soldiers with an eye to the 2024 election are already on the attack. Their weapons are stickers, placed like land mines for the mind on gas pumps across America. The stickers include an image of a shirtless, uncombed Hunter Biden with a cigarette dangling from his lips and the words, "Gas prices higher than Hunter Biden." Hunter Biden, the president's son, went public with his addiction struggles in a memoir, "Beautiful Things," published in April (via Associated Press). Supporters of the Republican Party, including allies in the conservative...

If you see Joe Biden’s picture on a gas pump these days, it’s not a tribute to his amazingly successful energy policy. The stickers — with Biden pointing to the $3.50 a gallon gas price and saying “I did that!” — are part of a Republican guerrilla campaign to undermine the Democratic administration. They’ve gone viral online. And it’s cheap and easy. A 100-pack of the stickers is going for just six bucks on Amazon. Read More You might see the derisive stickers up in New Hampshire, the swing state Biden is set to visit on Tuesday to promote his...

Gasoline prices are killing the pockets of Americans as the rise continues with no sign of letting up. In Orlando, Florida today it showed prices of a startling $5.69 a gallon! It was at that Suncoast Energys stations near the Orlando International Airport that the high price was seen and left customers reeling in disbelief. The price is considered the highest in the U.S., according to the website gasbuddy.com which monitors the prices of gasoline nationwide.

For weeks, pressure has been mounting in Congress to approve more domestic oil drilling, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has held the line, using her power to block a vote on offshore drilling. President Bush has made almost daily calls for Democratic leaders to take action. House GOP leaders, citing a new poll showing that a slim majority of Californians now favor offshore drilling, issued a release Thursday saying "even (Pelosi's) own California neighbors oppose her efforts to block new drilling far off American coasts." GOP lawmakers are so disgruntled they're urging Bush to deny Congress its August break by...

John Shadegg, a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, believes Congress is mostly to blame for record high fuel prices in the U.S because it has been reducing and restricting access to oil and natural gas supplies. Representative Shadegg (R-Arizona) says for politically correct reasons, Congress has locked up millions of acres of land in the western U.S., Alaska, and the Outer Continental Shelf, where there is plenty of oil to be explored. He believes Congress could suspend the gasoline tax for summer driving months, as presumptive GOP presidential nominee John McCain has proposed, and allow more opportunities...

The cost of filling a gas tank is higher in Citrus County than in the rest of the Bay area, partly because Citrus County gas taxes are higher than in many other Bay area counties.

Natural Gasbags January 10, 2006; Page A14 Warmer weather in the Northeast this week comes as a particular relief to those still recovering from last month's heating bills. [SNIP] One instructive case is that of Hess LNG, which is trying to build a terminal to import liquified natural gas in Fall River, Massachusetts. But last year, two Massachusetts Congressmen shoehorned a provision into the transportation bill to keep open a bridge that lies immediately downriver from Hess LNG's proposed terminal. (Yes, the same transportation bill that gave us Alaska Senator Ted Stevens's infamous Bridge to Nowhere.) Democrats James McGovern and...

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina has the highest gas price in the continental United States. Triple-A says the average price per gallon here is three-dollars-seven cents. The state is topped only by the District of Columbia and Hawaii, where a gallon of gas averages three-14 and three-24, respectively. Triple-A says regular unleaded in Asheville is the highest in the state at three-19 a gallon. A key reason for that dubious title here is North Carolina's gas tax. The 27 cents paid on each gallon is the highest among Southern states and fifth-highest nationally. By comparison, Virginia's gas tax is...

With oil and gas production in gulf states at a standstill in the wake of devastating Hurricane Katrina, oil prices hitting a record $70 per barrel, and an average gasoline price of over $2.60 a gallon, the Bush administration has decided to tap the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The move comes amid numerous predictions that gas prices will shoot up over $3 per gallon throughout California this Labor Day weekend. Bloomberg News reports that Katrina forced the temporary closure of at least eight refineries, responsible for as much as 10 percent of the nation's oil production. The ongoing fallout from...

A state association whose members include gasoline retailers and heating oil distributors want federal lawmakers to review the commission that oversees trading of commodities, including oil. In a letter to Connecticut's congressional delegation, the Independent Connecticut Petroleum Association asks them to press for an investigation of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission and that group's oversight of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices for commodities such as diesel fuel, natural gas and gasoline are set at the exchange, and the request comes as prices for those products continue to rise. "What is at stake are, quite literally, the prices paid...

The outrage over high gasoline prices continues. This is indicative of an oil industry boycott that was encouraged through email solicitations, recently. Like myself, you may have received one or two, asking you to not buy gas on May 19. In short, the motive served no other purpose but to protest what many believe to be a deliberate attempt by oil companies to gouge prices to increase profits. The few who did participate in the boycott, did so for no other purpose but to hit oil companies where it hurts - the wallet. I wonder if the participants considered the...
