Joe Biden Addresses High Gas Prices: Americans Can Save Money if They Buy Electric Cars

President Joe Biden promoted his efforts to lower gas prices on Tuesday, but he reminded Americans they would save more money on gas if they owned electric cars.

“For the hundreds of thousands of folks who bought one of those electric cars, they’re going to save $800 to $1000 in fuel costs this year,” Biden said, referring to the $112,595 electric Hummer pickup he test drove at a General Motors factory in Detroit earlier this month.

The president appeared frustrated that some Americans continue blaming his environmental agenda for higher gas prices, dismissing it as a “myth.”

“My effort to combat climate change is not raising the price of gas, what it’s doing is increasing the availability of jobs,” Biden insisted.

He claimed his government subsidies for green energy and electric cars would only help Americans get jobs and save more money.

“Let’s do that. Let’s beat climate change. With more extensive innovation and opportunities,” Biden said, claiming the economy would be “less vulnerable to these kinds of price hikes” on fossil fuels.

The president notably suspended all federal leases on oil and gas and shut down the Keystone XL pipeline after taking office, which hurt the amount of domestic oil production.

Domestic oil production was on a steady rise in the United States when former president Donald Trump was in office until the coronavirus pandemic hit. Domestic oil production continues to lag even though the demand for oil has recovered.

Biden still has no plan to increase the domestic production of oil, but he frequently complains that OPEC+ nations are not releasing enough oil to the world.

The president has also resisted leveling an export ban of oil from the United States or loosening blending regulations and standards to alleviate the cost of production.

Biden announced plans to release 50 million gallons of oil from the Strategic Oil Reserves to help lower prices but cautioned Americans it would take a while to have an effect on gas prices.

“While our combined actions will not solve the problem of high gas prices overnight, it will make a difference,” he said. It will take time, but before long, you should see the price of gas drop where you fill up your tank.”

Biden’s efforts did not immediately have the desired effect on the oil market as prices rose over three percent per barrel on Tuesday morning after his announcement.

Biden Will Require Essential Travelers Crossing US Land Borders, Such as TRUCK DRIVERS, to be Fully Vaccinated – 37% of Truckers to Reject Jab

This will fix the supply chain crisis.

Joe Biden will require essential, non-resident travelers crossing US land borders, such as truck drivers to be fully vaccinated by January 22, 2022.

“President Joe Biden now require essential, nonresident travelers crossing U.S. land borders, such as truck drivers, to be fully vaccinated beginning on Jan. 22.” – Associated Press reported.

Cargo ships are still anchored off the coast of Southern California due to a lack of workers needed to unload and ship product.

The trucking industry is short 80,000 drivers, a record high, according to Chris Spear, the President and CEO of the American Trucking Association.

Last week Mr. Spear said a whopping 37% of truck drivers will reject the Covid jab.

“In our sample survey of our fleets, it came back as 37% of our drivers not only said “no” – but “hell no”” Mr. Spear said, adding that even if 3.7% of his drivers were to leave rather than get the vaccine it would be “catastrophic.”

“Be careful what you wish for here,” Spear said warning the Biden Regime against mandating vaccines for truckers.

Feds: No Plea Deal Ahead Of Ghislaine Maxwell Trial

Update (1557ET): Federal prosecutors say they aren't offering Ghislaine Maxwell a plea deal ahead of her sex-trafficking trial slated to begin next week.

According to the NY Post, Judge Alison Nathan asked prosecutors as well as Maxwell's attorneys whether a plea deal had been offered, to which Assistant US Attorney Maurene Comey - the daughter of former FBI chief James Comey - replied "None were communicated."

Maxwell was in the courtroom Tuesday, exchanging greetings with her team of lawyers and occasionally sipping from a disposable coffee cup as her legal team hashed out trial logistics with the group of four prosecutors.

Among the issues raised was that Maxwell’s attorneys have subpoenaed a lawyer who represents a victim in the case, identified in the indictment against Maxwell as “Minor Victim-4.” -NY Post

Maxwell's attorneys, meanwhile, have been ordered to submit briefs over the potential witness, who she allegedly met when the victim was 14-years-old.

Moldova To Avert Energy Crisis With Payment To​​​​​​​ Gazprom

Update (1545ET): Well, that was quick. As colder weather sweeps across Europe and Russia's Gazprom was hours away from halting natural gas flows to Moldova over non-payment, Moldova's parliament appears to have come up with the money.

Moldova's parliament will vote on Thursday to amend the state budget to transfer 1.4 billion Moldovan leu ($78.98 million) to pay its outstanding gas bill with Gazprom for October and pay an advance for November, Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Spinu said.

Spinu said his government "will do everything needed" to prevent Gazprom from shutting off flows which would trigger an energy crisis.

"We considered it's more transparent to have the budget revision approved through parliament and respect all the rules. We asked the parliament to vote as soon as possible and, as far as I know, they will vote on the proposal on Thursday," he added.

It appears Moldova will keep its light on, and homes will be heated upon payment. The country is one of the poorest in Europe and struggles to pay its gas bills amid the energy that grips the continent.

Biden’s Build Back Better ‘Free’ Preschool Forces LGBTQ Activist Curriculum on Faith Groups

Faith groups that provide early childhood care have raised the alarm that while President Joe Biden boasts his “Build Back Better” plan offers “free” preschool, those federal dollars will come with strings attached: forced LGBTQ activist curricula.

The White House’s “Fact Sheet” on the $1.75 trillion Build Back Better social policy plan states:

President Biden’s plan offers access to free preschool for all 3- and 4-year old children, providing parents access to high-quality programs in the setting of their choice, from schools to child care providers and community-based organizations to Head Start.

A report at the New York Times, however, observed the concerns of faith-based groups that provide early childhood care, as it noted the bill’s “nondiscrimination provision” could “disqualify some religious organizations, which provide more than half of child care programs in the United States.”

According to a national poll conducted in December 2020 by the Bipartisan Policy Center, 53 percent of working-parent households used a childcare program affiliated with a faith organization.

The Center noted:

Faith-based organizations are in a powerful position. They have a strong infrastructure and understand the needs of their communities. Faith leaders are uniquely positioned to share information about child care and advocate for children and families. Whether hosting a colocated child care program or operating a child care facility, faith-based organizations can shape families’ experiences and perceptions of early care and education.

But the House’s approval of the bill sparked strong resistance to its promise of federal dollars in exchange for teaching children radical leftwing curriculum disguised as “equity” and “nondiscrimination.”

Centers run by the Catholic Church and large Orthodox Jewish groups, for example, say, if the bill becomes law, they will be forced to choose between accepting federal childcare dollars and continuing to teach the tenets of their respective faiths and hiring staff who adhere to their faith beliefs as well.

Hunter Biden’s Corrupt Shell Company Named After Deceased Mother’s Birthplace; Map Tattooed on His Back

Hunter Biden appears to have named his corrupt, Chinese-linked shell company Skaneateles after the town where his deceased mother was born — a map of which Hunter also has tattooed on his back, according to images from his laptop.

Skaneateles is the name of a town in New York State between Rochester and Syracuse. Skaneateles means “long lake,” which is a part of the Finger Lakes in central New York State.

While Skaneateles is Hunter’s deceased mother’s birthplace, it is also the name of Hunter’s shell company that reportedly has deep connections to Communist China.

Hunter’s ties to Communist China entail a complicated web of transactions over several years during and after the time his father, Joe Biden, was vice president.

Through an entity named Skaneateles, Hunter reportedly profited from orchestrating the sale of an American-owned cobalt mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo for $2.65 billion.

Chinese investors, who have close ties to the Chinese Communist Party, a transnational organized crime group, have reportedly ended up with a majority stake in the mine due to Hunter’s efforts.

On Sunday, Breitbart News reported Hunter’s involvement in divesting the United States of energy resources by peddling his government connections:

The transactions concluded with China Molybdenum owning 80 percent of the mine — a classic tale of the elites benefiting from the United States’ managed decline.

Hunter’s company reportedly obtained a ten percent share in the mine, which he sold to China Molybdenum from a Washington company named Skaneateles — which he also owns a stake in.

Skaneateles reportedly still owns a stake in BHR, though the Times reported Hunter “no longer holds any interest, directly or indirectly, in either BHR or Skaneateles,” according to Hunter’s lawyer Chris Clark.

New Report Reveals Jeffrey Epstein Called His Girlfriend Right Before Death

Financier and alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein had a 15-minute phone conversation with his girlfriend Karyna Shuliak before committing suicide in his cell, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

Epstein reportedly lied to the prison officials about calling his mother, who had died in 2004, dialing instead his 30-year-old girlfriend Shuliak, three people with knowledge of the phone conversation told the NYT.

During the phone call the convicted sex offender did not in any way reveal an intention to end his life, according to the report.

The unit manager at the detention center assisted Epstein in making what was referred to as a “social” phone call in a 15-page psychological reconstruction of Epstein’s death obtained by the NYT.

“I asked inmate Epstein who he was calling. He stated his mother,” the unit manager reportedly wrote.

This call, however, was missing in the phone logs provided to the NYT by the Bureau of Prisons. The provided documents also did not indicate if Epstein’s last call was on a monitored line.

The only social call Epstein made throughout his time at the detention center was to Shuliak more than a week earlier, the logs showed, the NYT reported.

Shuliak, whom Epstein reportedly helped put through dental school, is one of the largest beneficiaries of several trusts the accused child sex trafficker established over the years, according to the NYT.

Epstein had signed a will two days before the apparent suicide, putting all of his holdings amounting to $577,672,654 in The 1953 trust.

Mayors of 12 LGAs of concern demand lockdown apology

Western Sydney mayors are calling for an apology and a parliamentary inquiry into how lockdowns were managed through the height of this year’s COVID outbreak with correspondence showing tighter restrictions did not form part of the health advice.

Residents of Sydney’s former 12 local government areas of concern were subjected to tighter restrictions and a heavy police presence compared to the rest of the city, but that was not the health advice provided by the state’s Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant, according to an email released under a parliamentary order.

VIDEO: Black Supremacist Militias Gather Outside Courthouse Where Ahmaud Arbery Trial Jurors Are Deliberating

"Ya'll are in serious trouble because the wrath of karma is coming on America," said the commander of the New Black Panther militia

Black supremacist organizations have gathered outside the Glynn County, Georgia courthouse where a verdict is soon expected in the trial over the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery. Members of the New Black Panther party, as well as other black supremacist organizations, chanted “black power” and various anti-white slogans. Many of the demonstrators were armed with semiautomatic rifles and dressed in tactical gear.

“We have to develop a squad of undercover hit-men to go after these goddamn killers,” said New Black Panther Party spokesman Mikhail Muhammad. “These bastards didn’t want no questions they wanted blood, so we want blood today, the McMichaels. I’m not saying that all white people are bad, but there are way too many for me to feel comfortable.”

Muhammad was arrested in 2012 after placing a $10,000 bounty on George Zimmerman. He made several anti-white comments throughout the day, described himself as an anti-Semite and maligned “the Arabs and all the others who are blood-suckers of black people.”
