Biden's idiotic energy policies
Washington Examiner Editorial: Over the summer, when gas prices were reaching their peak, House Democrats hauled oil company executives before a congressional committee to browbeat them for not producing enough. We noted at the time that it was an embarrassing spectacle of two-faced politicking. After all, it has long been the policy of the Democratic Party to frustrate the expansion of the oil and gas industry wherever legally possible — for example, on federal lands and on the ocean floor. Democrats have also constantly ridiculed the idea that energy problems can be solved wit... read more

Russia’s abject political failure has two important consequences for the ongoing war. First, it means that no puppet regime could survive without a ... read more
