Currently, gas prices sit at $3.39 per gallon

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., blasted former President Trump for high gas prices under his administration, but the numbers are worse under President Biden.

Currently, gas prices sit at $3.39 per gallon — well above the $3 mark that Pelosi and Schumer decried as too high under the previous administration.

 

Neither Pelosi’s nor Schumer’s offices responded to Fox News’ requests for comment.

 

One of the shots Schumer took against Trump over gas prices was ahead of Memorial Day Weekend in 2018.

"Are you creeping along on fumes because #GasPrices are so high?" Schumer tweeted in 2018. "I'll join [Senator Maria Cantwell,] [Senator Bob Menendez] & [Senator Ed Markey] to push [Trump] to start fighting for lower gas prices for hardworking Americans LIVE in a few minutes."

 

However, while he took less of a hard stance with Biden on the rising prices, Schumer pressured the current president to open up the Strategic Petroleum Reserves to offset the rising prices — a move undertaken by Biden that critics have likened to treating a serious injury with a band-aid.

Pelosi has not taken any combative stance with Biden over the gas prices — in stark contrast to her words for Trump in 2018.

 

"Prescription drug prices are skyrocketing. Gas prices continue to rise. Health care costs and premiums are through the roof. Wages are stagnant. What is the solution Trump and Republicans in Washington propose?" Pelosi tweeted in July 2018 about the Republicans’ Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. "More tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy."

 

"You can't make this stuff up," the speaker added.

Pelosi & Schumer Attacking Trump Over Gas Prices Puts California Gov. Jerry Brown In An Awkward Spot

This article is more than 4 years old.

The Daily Beast’s Sam Stein and Gideon Resnick reported this week that “Democrats are preparing an aggressive assault on the Trump administration in the coming weeks over the cost of rising gas prices nationally.”

 

This morning the coming campaign reported by Stein and Resnick began in earnest, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and fellow senate Democrats holding a press conference on Capitol Hill calling on President Trump to, as Sen. Schumer tweeted, “start fighting for lower gas prices for hardworking Americans.”

Set aside the question of whether or not rising gas prices, which are up more than 56 cents nationally over the last 12 months and expected to continue rising, are the fault of President Trump. Instead, let’s look at how this new strategy will put Democrats in California - the nation’s most populous state, whose government is completely controlled by Democrats - in an awkward position.

 

Why is that? Because Gov. Jerry Brown and fellow Golden State Democrats are about to spend the next seven months attacking a measure that will appear on the November ballot that would, if approved by voters, repeal the state gas tax hike championed and signed into law by Gov. Brown last year.

 

The $52 billion tax hike (over ten years) enacted by Gov. Brown and legislative Democrats in Sacramento raised the base excise tax on gasoline by 12 cents per gallon, taking it to 30 cents, and set another variable excise tax at 17 cents. The excise tax on diesel fuel jumped 20 cents, bringing it to 36 cents per gallon. The sales tax on diesel was hiked 4 percentage points from the current 5.75% to 9.75%. Gov. Brown and company also imposed a yearly vehicle tax ranging from $25 for cars valued at under $5,000 to $175 for cars worth $60,000 or more. That tax took effect at the beginning of 2018.

 

It was just reported in this space how Democrats have achieved parity with their messaging in favor of higher tax rates at the federal level and state level in North Carolina. With this new national campaign trying to blame President Trump for rising gas prices, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) will soon have to explain why rising gas prices are a bad thing, but the action taken by Democrats to deliberately raise the cost of gas in her home state of California was a good thing.

If congressional Democrats plan to attack rising gas prices, will Congresswoman Pelosi, in order to maintain consistency in her position and messaging, come out against Gov. Brown’s gas tax hike and will she support the measure to repeal it?

 

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. The policy implications of the political maneuvering that ensues will be significant. This author has reached out to the offices of Gov. Brown and Rep. Pelosi for comment on this matter, and will update this article with their response should they choose to provide one.

Schumer blames Trump for soaring gas prices

nypost.com/2018/05/23/schumer-blames-trump-for-soaring-gas-prices

By Max JaegerMay 23, 2018

Sen. Chuck Schumer slammed President Trump on Wednesday for soaring gas prices — blaming his decision to reimpose sanctions on Iran for higher costs that he said will burn away the GOP tax cut.

 

“Gas prices will roughly cancel out the 2018 consumption boost from the tax cuts,” Schumer said at an Exxon gas station on Capitol Hill.

 

“That’s right, whatever meager benefit working families may have seen from Trump’s tax scam for the rich has been wiped out by the gas prices that President Trump is responsible for.”

 

Schumer argued that Trump’s move earlier this month to reinstate economic sanctions on Iran spooked oil markets, sending prices through the roof.

The Trump administration referred The Post’s requests for comment to the Treasury Department, which did not immediately respond.

The decommissioning of Russian nuclear-powered vessels is an issue of major concern to the United States and to the Scandinavian countries[1] near Russia.

 

From 1950 to 2003, the Soviet Union and its major successor state, Russia, constructed the largest nuclear-powered navy in the world,[2] more ships than all other navies combined:[3]

248 submarines (91 attack submarines, 62 cruise missile submarines,

91 ballistic missile submarines and four research submarines),

four Kirov-class battlecruisers, and

a missile test ship,[1] as well as

nine icebreakers.[4]

 

Many were or are powered by two reactors each, bringing the total to 468 reactors.[4] With the end of the Cold War and with its navy chronically underfunded,[5][6] Russia has decommissioned many of these vessels, and according to one report dated November 2008, intended to scrap all decommissioned submarines (more than 200) by 2012.[4] However, the safety records of the Soviet and Russian navies and the budgetary constraints on the Russian government are matters of great concern. Ships awaiting decommissioning receive little maintenance, and there are insufficient waste storage facilities,[2] raising worries about possible ecological damage from accidents or improper storage.

''Chinese hackers steal sensitive Navy program data==

WASHINGTON — Cyberattacks sponsored by the Chinese government infiltrated a U.S. Navy contractor’s computers, allowing digital thieves to access sensitive data related to secret Navy projects on a submarine anti-ship missile.

 

The information stolen was stored on the contractor’s unclassified network despite being “highly sensitive nature,” according to information obtained by the Washington Post.

 

According to the report, 614 gigabytes of material on a closely held project known as Sea Dragon were taken. Contracted for the military organization Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Sea Dragon aims to develop a supersonic anti-ship missile for use on U.S. submarines.

 

Cmdr. Bill Speaks, Navy spokesman, confirmed that measures exist which “require companies to notify the government when a ‘cyber incident’ has occurred,” as had occurred in this instance.

 

Experts have witnessed a recent “reemergence” of China-based hacking groups that had seemed to have “gone dormant for a while,” said Cristiana Brafman Kittner, principal analyst at cybersecurity firm FireEye.

 

China has increasingly grown not only as an economic cyberthreat, but an online menace to national security as well.
