'Shut up' the left argues

Biden's energy debacle gets worse
CNN: The Biden administration launched a full-scale pressure campaign in a last-ditch effort to dissuade Middle Eastern allies from dramatically cutting oil production, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

That in turn will likely cause US gasoline prices to rise at a precarious time for the Biden administration, just five weeks before the mi... read more

Pity the Poor Congress-Critter
The 535 high-net-worth Congressional servants of oligarchs, war profiteers and corporations are becoming very rattled by the growing number of threats being leveled against them by a very tiny subset of the electorate.
