<blockquote>
	
		US President Joe Biden said Americans will have to stomach high gas prices “as long as it takes” to beat back Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.&nbsp;
</blockquote>


	Gas prices were punishingly high before this war. And they'll stay that way while...


	1. Biden keeps suppressing domestic production


	2. Driving inflation with endless corrupt spending sprees


	Russia's invasion of Ukraine has raised prices, but the Putin's price hike nonsensical talking point pretends that the only reason we have high prices is because of this war and that Biden couldn't have done anything differently to change the outcome the tenor of the crisis. Neither one is true.


	Biden ran on wrecking the domestic energy industry and replacing it with 'green' energy to benefit Dem donors. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-energy-market-gas-oil-green-energy-fossil-fuels-production-high-prices-11655924583">That's why</a>&nbsp;working-class people can't afford to drive.


	Team Biden got what it wanted: Daily U.S. oil production dropped from 12.29 million barrels in 2019 to an estimated 11.85 million in 2022, well after demand had rebounded from the pandemic.


	Mr. Biden blames&nbsp;Vladimir Putin, but prices rose quite a bit before Russia invaded Ukraine. In January 2021, the average price of regular gasoline was $2.33 a gallon. By February 2022, it was up to $3.52. As of May, the average price was $4.44; so 56% of that price rise predated the invasion.


	Biden's own people can't decide if they want him to blame...


	1. Russia


	2. Oil company greed


	If this is about Putin, then it's not about oil company stock buybacks. And vice versa. Pick a lie and stick with it. But Biden can't even do that. All he can do is tell Americans to suck it up and suffer.

Biden: Americans Will Stomach High Gas Prices “As Long As It Takes”

Democracy is always under siege by democracy. In the latest threats to democracy, the Supreme Court made several rulings that laws should be made by elected officials, not by judges or bureaucrats.


	According to Blake Emerson at Slate, <a href="https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/06/west-virginia-environmental-protection-agency-climate-change-clean-air.html?scrolla=5eb6d68b7fedc32c19ef33b4">this is a</a> "major blow to democratic constitutionalism". Particularly&nbsp;West Virginia v. EPA in which the conservative majority noted that.. the EPA was building a vast regulatory regime&nbsp;that Congress had not only not authorized, but specifically declined to authorize.&nbsp;

<blockquote>
	
		The opinion undermines the federal regulatory state that Congress has established—with the court’s blessing—over the past 200 years.&nbsp;
</blockquote>


	Congress can pass laws. If Congress wants the EPA to have these powers, it can do that. Much as it can write Roe v. Wade into law (even if it's ultimately as unconstitutional as regulations involving slavery).

<blockquote>
	
		Together with the court’s elimination of the constitutional right to abortion, restriction of gun regulations, and expansion of religious authority, a clear picture is emerging: The people have less power now to create a safe and healthy society.&nbsp;
</blockquote>


	The people have more power than ever. They can elect state representatives who will advance their opinions on abortion. They can control schools through school boards. And they can create a "safe and healthy society" barring violations of the Constitution.


	This is democratic. Lefties want to take away that power from the people and give it to the courts.

<blockquote>
	
		"The court has consolidated power in its own hands to the benefit of factional economic and cultural interests."
</blockquote>


	If SCOTUS had wanted to consolidate power, it would have upheld the administrative state instead of trying to tear it down. It could have retained Roe v. Wade if it wanted to retain power.


	Instead, it gave up power.


	Lefties consider the transfer of power from unelected officials to elected ones to be an&nbsp;attack on democracy. That tells you how they define democracy.

Letting Elected Officials Make Decisions is a Threat to Democracy

The Supreme Court isn't supposed to legislate or make policy. At its worst, it does just that. And then the rule of law is replaced with the rule of nine judges seeking to achieve particular ends.


	Or tyranny.


	Biden v. Texas and West Virginia v. EPA both followed the law. They infuriated conservatives and leftists, immigration hawks and environmental obsessives respectively. But the Supreme Court did what it was supposed to, limiting the power of unelected officials, of judges and bureaucrats.


	That is what putting the law and means ahead of policy and ends means.


	As much as the country needs Remain in Mexico, judges should not be using the&nbsp;Administrative Procedure Act to keep in place policies from a&nbsp;previous administration. The problem is that judges, and even the Supreme Court, repeatedly did just that under Trump using the APA. Using the APA to retain some border protections with states citing impact was payback. But the Supreme Court was right to toss it aside. The much bigger problem is that the DREAM amnesty and forcing administrations to maintain it has not been tossed aside. And the Obama and Biden administrations both got away with selectively enforcing immigration law so as to create de facto amnesty.


	The Democrats are happy with the&nbsp;Biden v. Texas ruling, but they would be furious if it were say Trump v. California because it's not about the rule of law.


	And so celebrations over&nbsp;Biden v. Texas were overshadowed by raving fury over&nbsp;West Virginia v. EPA.


	"Supreme Court Rules 6-3 That the Planet Should Burn," Rolling Stone headlined its clickbait.


	But that's exactly the point. The Supreme Court doesn't rule on what the planet should do (as if any earthly court could) only on what powers government has.

The Biden economy keeps setting new records making it clear that he will<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/28/stock-market-futures-open-to-close-news.html"> go down in history</a>. &nbsp;

<blockquote>
	
		Stocks fluctuated on Wednesday, after the major averages made a failed attempt at a bounce in the previous session, and as the market prepares to close out the worst first half of the year since 1970.

	
		The S&amp;P 500, which is down about 20% in 2022, is on pace for its worst first half of the year since 1970, when the index lost 21.01%.
</blockquote>


	The news just keeps <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-s-p-500-could-slide-another-33-in-a-70s-style-inflation-environment-societe-generale-11655927721">getting worse</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		The S&amp;P 500 officially entered a bear market last week, falling more than 20% from its Jan. 3 record finish.

	
		“We have been and remain in a ‘de-risking, defensive and de-rating’ mindset for 2022, as Fed hikes in the current downturn should create collateral damage, leading us to adopt a bearish stance on U.S. Consumer, Financials and Small-caps,” said Manish Kabra, Societe Generale’s head of U.S. equities, in a Tuesday note. “But the committed fight against inflation looks set to trigger a domino effect, with the Housing and Credit markets looking like the next dominos to drop.”

	
		If the Fed fails to get a grip on prices, a 1970’s style inflation shock followed by a recession could push the S&amp;P 500&nbsp;SPX,&nbsp;-0.07%&nbsp;down by another 33% from its current level to trade at 2,525, Kabra said. &nbsp;

	
		The S&amp;P 500 falls on an average of 33% during a typical recession, but “the current 24% drop in equities suggests we have discounted 72% of an average recession (i.e. a 72% recession probability is priced in),” according to Société Générale’s report. “At 3,200 the S&amp;P 500 will fully discount a typical recession.”&nbsp;
</blockquote>


	But according to Joe Biden, it's all good.

<blockquote>
	
		In a&nbsp;Wednesday appearance&nbsp;on the ABC late-night show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” President Joe Biden&nbsp;made a dramatic claim&nbsp;about the US economy – and repeated himself for emphasis.

	
		“Look, here’s where we are. We have the fastest-growing economy in the world. The world. The world,” Biden said.
</blockquote>


	If we "grow" anymore, there might not be an economy.

If there's one place people really wanted to turn to for hot takes on the Dobbs abortion decision, it's the dystopian <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/who-chief-us-abortion-ruling-a-setback-will-cost-lives/ar-AAZ084g?ocid=BingNews">miserable failure</a> of a UN dumpster fire.

<blockquote>
	
		The head of the World Health Organization on Wednesday criticized the U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, saying the decision to no longer recognize a constitutional right to abortion was “a setback” that would ultimately cost lives.

	
		WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a media briefing that decades of scientific data prove that access to safe and legal abortion saves lives.
</blockquote>


	Did the data come from China which practiced mandatory abortions? WHO's Chinese ties are as notorious as they <a href="https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/04/02/china-coronavirus-who-health-soft-power/">are contemptible</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		Most critically, Beijing succeeded from the start in steering the World Health Organization (WHO), which both receives funding from China and is dependent on the regime of the Communist Party on many levels...

	
		Before then, WHO was uncritically repeating information from the Chinese authorities, ignoring warnings from Taiwanese doctors—unrepresented in WHO, which is a United Nations body—and reluctant to declare a “public health emergency of international concern,” denying after a meeting Jan. 22 that there was any need to do so.&nbsp;

	
		WHO was keen to broadcast Beijing’s message. “In the face of a previously unknown virus, China has rolled out perhaps the most ambitious, agile and aggressive disease containment effort in history,” WHO experts said in their February report on the mission to China.
</blockquote>


	Ted and WHO are all about the science.

<blockquote>
	
		“We hadn't really expected this from the U.S.,” Tedros said, adding that he was concerned the Supreme Court's decision was a move “backwards." In recent years, the U.S. has supported numerous maternal health care programs in developing countries, including access to reproductive health care.

	
		“We had really hoped the U.S. would lead on this issue,” Tedros said.
</blockquote>


	Isn't that what Communist China is for? The PRC is<a href="https://apnews.com/article/ap-top-news-international-news-weekend-reads-china-health-269b3de1af34e17c1941a514f78d764c"> truly leading</a> in the field of "access to reproductive health care".

<blockquote>
	
		The state regularly subjects minority women to pregnancy checks, and forces intrauterine devices, sterilization and even abortion on hundreds of thousands, the interviews and data show.&nbsp;

	
		After Gulnar Omirzakh, a Chinese-born Kazakh, had her third child, the government ordered her to get an IUD inserted. Two years later, in January 2018, four officials in military camouflage came knocking at her door anyway. They gave Omirzakh, the penniless wife of a detained vegetable trader, three days to pay a $2,685 fine for having more than two children.
</blockquote>


	Planned Parenthood, WHO, and the Left can only dream of doing this in America. For now.
