	English announced he was retiring last year due to health issues. His retirement will have to take place behind bars.

<blockquote>
	
		Former Senate Majority Leader J. Kalani English, 55, pleaded guilty to honest services wire fraud in February, admitting he accepted bribes from a Hawaii business owner in exchange for shaping legislation that would benefit a company involved in publicly financed cesspool conversion projects...

	
		English “peddled the power and influence of his position as a Hawaii State Senator and Majority Leader to enrich himself and betray the trust bestowed upon him by those he was elected to serve,” U.S. prosecutors said in a sentencing memo urging the judge to send him to prison for three-and-a-half years.

	
		The sentence, a little more than three years, must send a “stern and lasting message” that corruption of elected officials will be punished, the memo said.

	Not all that long ago, English was <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/news/hawaii-obamas-birthplace-and-refuge/">praising</a> Obama.

		English pleaded guilty in February and&nbsp;admitted to accepting cash and other payments&nbsp;totaling more than $18,000 from Honolulu businessman Milton Choy. English leaked documents related to a wastewater working group to Choy in exchange for cash payments. He also accepted more money to first introduce, and then kill a bill that could have benefitted Choy’s business.

	
		“As the investigation progressed it became astoundingly clear that no matter the legislative ask, the answer from English would almost certainly be ‘yes.’ English’s behavior signaled that it was systemically normal for him to accept, and indeed expect, financial benefits in return for legislative favors,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth Sorenson wrote in a sentencing memorandum Friday.

		Choy is a prolific donor, as are his immediate family members and business associates. Choy, his family members, and his employees from various companies have donated more than $356,000 to political campaigns since 2014, according to campaign finance data. Of that, Choy has contributed more than $160,000 to the elections and reelections of numerous Democrats.

	
		Choy himself has donated to 55 campaigns — including 29 sitting lawmakers — since 2014. Money has gone to former Gov. Neil Abercrombie and current Gov. David Ige.

Dumping the country's oil reserves was the only strategy to lower energy prices that Biden would accept. He continues blocking domestic drilling and taxes remain high. The practical impact&nbsp;of the reserve releases was negligible and, worse still, 5 million barrels of oil from the reserve were actually <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/oil-from-u.s.-reserves-sent-overseas-as-gasoline-prices-stay-high">exported abroad</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		More than 5 million barrels of oil that were part of a historic U.S. emergency reserves release to lower domestic fuel prices were exported to Europe and Asia last month, according to data and sources, even as U.S. gasoline and diesel prices hit record highs.

	
		About 1 million barrels per day is being released from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) through October. The flow is draining the SPR, which last month fell to the lowest since 1986.&nbsp;
</blockquote>


	Considering the scale of even the national use, 20 million a day, there was never going to be much of an impact here.

<blockquote>
	
		U.S. officials have said oil prices could be higher if the SPR had not been tapped.
</blockquote>


	Ah, the hypothetical.&nbsp;


	Anyway the oil went all over.

<blockquote>
	
		The fourth-largest U.S. oil refiner, Phillips 66&nbsp;PSX.N, shipped about 470,000 barrels of sour crude from the Big Hill SPR storage site in Texas to Trieste, Italy, according to U.S. Customs data. Trieste is home to a pipeline that sends oil to refineries in central Europe.

	
		Atlantic Trading &amp; Marketing (ATMI), an arm of French oil major TotalEnergies&nbsp;TTEF.PA, exported 2 cargoes of 560,000 barrels each, the data showed.

	
		Cargoes of SPR crude were also headed to the Netherlands and to a Reliance&nbsp;RELI.NS&nbsp;refinery in India, an industry source said. A third cargo headed to China, another source said.

Racist DOJ official&nbsp;Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke announced that the Biden administration is targeting Arizona for trying to prevent non-citizens from voting.


	At issue is an Arizona law asking voters to show proof of citizenship. What should be an elementary and common sense requirement is being opposed by the Biden administration, officially on technical grounds, but as a practical matter because it is trying to protect voter fraud.


	Why fight against asking voters to show a legal right to vote unless...


	1. They are your voters


	2. You believe that they don't have a legal right to vote


	“The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona is dedicated to protecting voters in the state,” said U.S. Attorney Gary M. Restaino for the District of Arizona. “We are proud to join the Civil Rights Division in bringing this lawsuit to ensure that all eligible citizens in Arizona have the opportunity to register to vote and exercise their fundamental right to participate in our elections.”&nbsp;


	Voters have the right to vote. And they have the right to protect the legitimacy of their vote by passing common sense voter tests to fight fraud.

	57% also say that the actions of the federal government have hurt them, only 8% say that they have helped them.

For the past few years, the entertainment industry inhabited a strange world in which massive amounts of streaming programming were unleashed on an unprecedented level. Led by Netflix, Amazon&nbsp;and followed by tradiitional&nbsp;industry competitors like Disney&nbsp;and HBO Max, the sheer amount of money being spent was astronomical, in the billions, and the hours of programming, the number of shows made it Peak TV.


	And then Netflix and its business model crashed.


	In the familiar Dot Com pattern, a whole lot of money was chasing the promise of endless growth that would usher in its own business model. Now the crash <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2022-07-04/the-age-of-peak-tv-is-ending-an-age-of-austerity-is-beginning">has ended Peak TV.</a>

<blockquote>
	
		The sudden decline in Netflix’s share price&nbsp;and the&nbsp;growing fear of a recession&nbsp;have forced&nbsp;Hollywood into a new period of fiscal austerity. This manifests in ways big and small. A TV director who made&nbsp;$4 million a year is now getting $750,000. Mid-budget movies are being shelved. Broadcast TV budgets have dropped more than 30%...

	
		This is a significant departure from&nbsp;the last few years when&nbsp;media companies tripped over themselves to produce any halfway decent idea. The industry made 559 scripted shows last year, up more than 200 since 2013, the year “House of Cards” debuted...

	
		But the age of peak TV is coming&nbsp;to a close, and that will impact&nbsp;almost every sector of an industry where budgets, valuations and strategic plans were predicated on a booming&nbsp;market for new programming.&nbsp;

	
		Just a few months ago, any production company with a few credits to its name was suddenly worth&nbsp;hundreds of millions of dollars. (It helped if you were aligned with a celebrity like&nbsp;Reese Witherspoon&nbsp;or LeBron James.) Now many of the companies looking to raise capital or sell themselves are&nbsp;having a harder time.
</blockquote>


	Did Hollywood nuke its own business model?


	Streaming was supposed to be the future. Hollywood cannibalized its theatrical business for streaming. Every studio either tried to become Netflix or market to it. Or both.


	What's the future now? The plan to have every studio sell membership to its gated subscription service looks increasingly shaky especially in a troubled economy. Amazon and Netflix still want to be the dominant platform. Hollywood tried to compete with them and the result broke everyone.&nbsp;


	The entertainment industry can't grow further without China. And China wants to grow its own industry. And investors will now be skeptical of dot com promises of infinite growth.&nbsp;

What does it take to touch off a revolt of the farmers? Environmental regulations that North Korea would<a href="https://www.marketscreener.com/news/latest/Dutch-farmers-protest-by-blocking-supermarket-distribution-centres--40889267/"> find too onerous</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		Dutch farmers angered by government plans that may require them to use less fertilizer and reduce livestock began a day of protests in the Netherlands on Monday by blocking supermarket distribution hubs in several cities.

	
		Amsterdam's Schiphol airport and KLM, the Dutch arm of Air France, have advised travellers to use public transport, rather than cars, to reach the airport, as farmers' activist groups said on social media they planned to use tractors to block roads.

	
		Several traffic jams were reported on highways in the east of the country and on ferry routes in the north, but none near Schiphol during the morning commute.

	
		At the heart of the protest are targets introduced last month to reduce harmful nitrogen compounds by 2030, the latest attempt to tackle a problem that has plagued the country for years.

	
		Reductions are necessary in emissions of nitrogen oxides from farm animal manure and from the use of ammonia in fertilizer, the government says, estimating a 30% reduction in the number of livestock is needed.
</blockquote>


	A 30% reduction is massive, would change life for everyone, not to mention the economy and food prices. But now this is a<a href="https://euroweeklynews.com/2022/07/03/dutch-uprising-in-response-to-the-world-economic-forum-controlled-government/"> proper insurrectio</a>n.

<blockquote>
	
		The protest comes just days after Dutch farmers sprayed several public buildings with manure after politicians voted on proposals to&nbsp;reduce emissions of harmful pollutants.

	
		This plan could actually force farmers to reduce their livestock or even stop working altogether.
</blockquote>


	That can't make the buildings dirtier, though it probably didn't do anything good for the manure.


	They do have <a href="https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/ap-online/2022/07/04/dutch-farmers-block-entrances-to-supermarket-warehouses">a good point</a> to make.

<blockquote>
	
		Police looked on but did not immediately take action Monday as some 25 tractors parked outside a distribution center for supermarket chain Albert Heijn in the town of Zaandam, just north of Amsterdam. Placards and banners affixed to the tractors read messages including, “Our farmers, our future.”

	
		A tractor at another protest, in the northern town of Drachten, urged people to “think for a moment about what you want to eat without farmers.”
</blockquote>


	California growers have been putting out the same messages for a long time... to no avail.

<blockquote>
	
		The umbrella organization for supermarkets called on police to take action and warned of possible shortages on supermarket shelves.

	
		“Blockades of distribution centers hurt the citizens of the Netherlands. Supermarkets do everything they can to keep the stores stocked, but if blockades continue, it could lead to people not being able to do their daily shopping,” the Central Bureau for Food Trade said in a statement.
</blockquote>


	There'll be a <a href="https://www.brusselstimes.com/environment/246938/farmers-defence-force-derails-the-netherlands-with-burning-hay-and-tractor-blockages">whole lot</a> more shortages when livestock have been cut by 30%. Where do the Dutch expect to get their food? Ukraine? Russia?

<blockquote>
	
		Farmers broke through a police barrier in front of the home of Nature and Nitrogen Minister Van der Wal-Zeggelink, where extra security was placed two weeks earlier. Hay was burnt, firecrackers were thrown at the house, and a police car was pushed aside and destroyed so the tractors could drive into the street,&nbsp;NRC&nbsp;writes. A slurry tanker was also emptied in the street.

	
		Farmers also protested in the Netherlands’ political capital The Hague, where two cows were brought to join in the protests. Prime Minister Mark Rutte called the actions “unacceptable and out of proportion”.

		“It is devastating that a celebration of America was ripped apart by our uniquely American plague,” Pritzker&nbsp;said&nbsp;in a speech Monday evening from Highland Park.

	
		“It’s the Fourth of July, a day for reflection on our freedoms,” he said. “Our founders carried muskets, not assault weapons, and I don’t think a single one of them would have said that you have a constitutional right to an assault weapon with a high-capacity magazine."

	Anyway, Copenhagen would<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/copenhagen-shooting-shopping-mall/"> like a word </a>about that "uniquely American" problem.

		Danish police believe a shopping mall shooting that left three people dead and four others seriously wounded was not terror-related, and said Monday that the gunman acted alone and appears to have selected his victims at random. 
		&nbsp; 
		Copenhagen chief police inspector Søren Thomassen said the victims — a 17-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl, both Danes, and a 47-year-old Russian man — were killed when the gunman opened fire on Sunday afternoon in the Field's shopping mall, one of Scandinavia's biggest. 
		&nbsp; 
		Four other people were treated for gunshot wounds — two Danish and two Swedish citizens — and were in critical but stable condition, Thomassen said. Several other people received minor injuries as they fled the shopping mall, he added.

	France's legal abortion limit is 14 weeks. That's widely out of step with what American Democrats want which is abortion until the moment of birth.


	And women in Paris have&nbsp;a much bigger problem that French feminists insist on ignoring.


	In<a href="https://archives.frontpagemag.com/fpm/most-dangerous-countries-europe-women-have-large-daniel-greenfield/"> my article</a>, "The Most Dangerous Countries for Women in Europe Have Large Muslim Immigration", I pointed out that, "At 0.86, Serbia has one of the lowest sexual assault rates in Europe. And at 8.8, France has one of the highest. Eastern European countries, generally not known for their militant feminism, have low rates while the more “progressive” Western European countries suffer from very high rates."


	A Le Parisien study <a href="https://www.leparisien.fr/archives/enquete-inedite-sur-les-viols-a-paris-22-01-2016-5473637.php">used criminal records </a>from "the rapes committed in Paris over a specific period (2013 and 2014)" and found that "more than half of them (52%) are of foreign nationality (without specifying the country of origin) and 44% are unemployed."


	The sexual assault rates in France, in general,&nbsp;and Paris, specifically, are stratospherically high. And that can't be discussed except through nonsensical measures like criminalizing catcalling, because the perpetrators are <a href="https://rmx.news/article/france-63-of-those-arrested-for-sexual-assault-and-92-for-petty-theft-in-public-transport-were-foreigners/">a protected class</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		The perpetrators of petty theft and sexual offenses on public transport in the Paris region are foreign nationals, data from the Ministry of Interior’s statistical service (SSMSI) shows . According to the ministry’s data, in 2019, 93 percent of those charged with non-violent theft on the public transport system of Île-de-France, the central French region including Paris with over 12 million inhabitants, were born outside France. Additionally, 63 percent of the perpetrators of sexual assault were foreigners...On the side of victims, those who were subject to petty theft in the same region were mostly French (64 percent), while 87 percent of those suffering sexual attacks were also French.

	Much easier to protest over the Dodds ruling than to discuss the real threat to women.

		The 4th of July parade in Downtown Lansing ended shortly after it started when pro-choice protesters blocked the parade from continuing.

	
		News 10 was on the scene when the parade began at 11 Monday morning. Protesters were there a half hour before at 10:30 a.m. The parade started at the left of the State Capitol building but was stopped by protesters as soon as they turned to the front of the building.

	
		The organizer of the protest said that she did not intend for protesters to block the parade in today’s rally.

	Sure, that's why they stood in the way with a large banner reading,&nbsp;"No celebration with forced procreation".

Is Gen. Milley <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-62022308">relying on some</a> mutually reciprocal notification of imminent hostilities? If he is, he's likely to be disappointed.

<blockquote>
	
		Asked whether he thought China would attack Taiwan, Gen Milley, chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, told the BBC:

	
		"Could, should, would, those are key words there.

	
		"In terms of capability I think China clearly is developing a capability. President Xi [Jinping] has mentioned that in public forums, he's mentioned it in speeches, that he has challenged the PLA [China's People's Liberation Army] to develop the capability to attack Taiwan at some point in time.

	
		"And whether they would or not, it's a political choice, it's a policy choice, that will be based off of how the Chinese view the cost risk benefit at the time."

	
		"There's no indications or warnings of anything imminent at this time. But again, we watch it very, very closely," Gen Milley added.
</blockquote>


	Considering Milley's <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2021/09/court-martial-chairman-joint-chiefs-staff-general-daniel-greenfield/">track record</a>, that's <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2021/08/while-afghanistan-fell-military-and-cia-focused-daniel-greenfield/">not so reassuring</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		In July, he falsely&nbsp;claimed&nbsp;that a "safe, orderly and responsible transition" was taking place in Afghanistan, and that the 600 U.S. military personnel there were sufficient to "secure the embassy, to secure the international zone and secure HKIA, the international airport in Kabul".

	
		A month later, even 6,000 troops, ten times that number, would not suffice for the task.

	
		Milley assured reporters that "the Afghan Security Forces have the capacity to sufficiently fight" and that "we're always going to maintain the capability of self-defense". None of these things were true.

	
		By late July, Milley admitted that, "Strategic momentum appears to be sort of with the Taliban."

	
		By "sort of", Milley meant that the Taliban had more than doubled their territory again and were marching on half of the provincial capitals.

	
		A week after his testimony, the Taliban had not only doubled their number of districts, but possessed hundreds of captured U.S. armored vehicles, along with artillery and drones.

	
		The Pentagon's spokesman&nbsp;told&nbsp;reporters to ask the Afghan military about the gear.

	
		In May, Milley&nbsp;had&nbsp;shrugged off questions about whether the Afghan military would survive. “We frankly don’t know yet. We have to wait and see how things develop over the summer.”

	
		“There was nothing that I or anyone else saw that indicated a collapse of this army and this government in 11 days,” Milley later insisted.

	
		"The conditions are set for winning this war," Milley had&nbsp;asserted&nbsp;back when he was heading up NATO’s ISAF Joint Command under Obama.

Kamala Harris has two cards. And she plays them all the time.


	During her failed presidential campaign, she repeatedly accused opponents, include Biden, and voters who didn't support her,&nbsp;of racism and sexism.


	Embracing the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade and restoring the abortion question to the states, Kamala is playing the same old tune. <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/02/politics/kamala-harris-essence-festival/index.html">Only worse</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday drew a connection between&nbsp;the Supreme Court&nbsp;overturning the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling to the legacy of the US government “trying to claim ownership over human bodies” during an appearance at the Essence Festival in New Orleans.
</blockquote>


	Comparing abortion laws to slavery at a black event is really something even for Kamala.


	There's room to make the comparison largely because in both cases the government, in response to vocal lobbying from interested groups, decided that a certain group of human beings had no rights and could be harmed with no recourse.


	The legal analogy between babies and slaves is fairly obvious.


	Kamala however is trying to argue that limiting the right of people to kill their babies is the government&nbsp;“trying to claim ownership over human bodies”.


	Mind you, this is coming from the same administration that decided to&nbsp;“claim ownership over human bodies” by demanding that millions of people take a vaccine.

The official story is that Hunter Biden may have been smoking crack and soliciting half the world's oligarchs, including those in Communist China, but there was no government angle to it.


	Somehow all that money was being thrown at a crackhead due to his native talents, not who his father was.


	The 'firewall' between Hunter and Joe Biden has been repeatedly dented by revelations from the laptop.


	And these latest revelations show that Hunter was<a href="https://nypost.com/2022/07/02/hunter-bidens-laptop-had-contacts-for-google-execs-us-officials-for-china-policy/"> actively collecting</a> the information of key US officials in a position to aid his Chinese business interests.

<blockquote>
	
		Hunter Biden’s hard drive contained an enviable lineup of contacts for top US officials tasked with overseeing the US-China relationship...
</blockquote>


	The list apparently included...

<blockquote>
	
		Bruce Quinn — who is listed in the hard drive as a “Director for Implementation” at the US Trade Representative office of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan — said he had no idea why he would be among the names in the hard drive.

	
		“I have never met him. I can’t even imagine,” Quinn told The Post. “Back then I used to go to all kinds of conferences and seminars. There is no doubt he could have attended one of the events with me.”

	
		All of the others named as US-China contacts in Hunter’s address book either declined to comment or did not respond to requests for comment from The Post. They include:

	
		Thomas Parker, a special advisor to the vice president for national security affairs

	
		Sarah E. Kemp, who served as a commercial counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing

	
		Patrick Mulloy, former commissioner&nbsp;of the United States-China Economic and Security Review Commission
</blockquote>


	If you're going to do business in China, these would be good people to know. But they would also be very good people to know if you're a Chinese company that wants to do business with America or with Americans.

Insurrection.


	I've said it before, let me say it again, if a judge in any apolitical case were being targeted at his or her home with angry protests and death threats, those responsible would very quickly be in prison and the protests would be shut down by a heavy law enforcement presence.&nbsp;


	This is happening because the Biden administration and its allies, which include Gov. Hogan, refuse to enforce the law.


	At this point we're far past a discussion in "right-wing media". The Supreme Court has directly requested and been turned down by, among others, Gov. Hogan, who <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-asks-maryland-officials-stop-picketing-justices-houses-rcna36460">keeps prattling about</a> "political norms".

<blockquote>
	
		Gail Curley, the&nbsp;Supreme Court’s marshal, has written to the governors of Maryland and Virginia and local officials in suburban Washington, D.C., asking them to enforce state and county laws that prohibit picketing at&nbsp;private homes.&nbsp;&nbsp;

	
		In the letter to Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, she said laws in his state prohibits assembling “with another in a manner that disrupts a person’s right to tranquility in the person’s home,” and provides a penalty of up to 90 days in jail.&nbsp;
</blockquote>


	A "Republican".

<blockquote>
	
		“Since then, protest activity at justices’ homes, as well as threatening activity, has only increased,” Curley said in the letter, with large groups using bullhorns and banging drums.&nbsp;“This is exactly the kind of conduct that Maryland and Montgomery County laws prohibit.”
</blockquote>


	And if right-wing protesters were doing this at Kagan and Sotomayor's homes, there would be action.&nbsp;

<blockquote>
	
		In a letter to Marc Elrich, the executive of Montgomery County, Curley said a separate county law prohibits picketing “in front of or adjacent to any private residence.”&nbsp;She noted that the author of the county ordinance has urged county officials to enforce the law against protesters who gather outside the justices’ homes.

	
		Both letters to the Maryland officials were dated&nbsp;Friday.&nbsp;The marshal also sent letters Saturday to Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, and Jeffrey McKay, chair of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors in Northern Virginia, where other justices' live, asking for enforcement of a similar Virginia law.
</blockquote>


	Virginia may or may not enforce the laws on a state level, Gov Hogan and Elrich have made it clear that they won't.

<blockquote>
	
		The response from Maryland officials was lukewarm.&nbsp;In a statement on Saturday, Hogan’s office said the Maryland Attorney General's office has questioned the constitutionality of the state’s anti-picketing law, and noted that the Justice Department has declined to enforce federal laws that would stop the demonstrations.

	
		“In light of the continued refusal by multiple federal entities to act, the governor has directed Maryland state police to further review enforcement options that respect the First Amendment and the Constitution,” said Michael Ricci, Hogan's communications director.
</blockquote>


	The Federal entities in question are under the control of the Biden administration which supports active intimidation of justices. But that has nothing to do with Hogan's refusal to do so.


	The First Amendment does not protect harassing people in their homes. It certainly does not protect intimidating judges in their homes.


	There are laws on the books here. State and local officials are deliberately refusing to enforce them because they support the intimidation.&nbsp;

Whether it's in India, Israel or Turkey, Muslims take over the holy places of the people whom they conquered and colonized, and then proceed to build their own victory mosques, or transform existing holy sites into mosques, while doing as much damage as they can to the site.


	The Islamist Erdogan regime, a brutal dictator who retains the backing of most western governments, and whom Obama praised as a role model, chose to undo a major secularist post-Ottoman reform by seizing the Hagia Sophia to turn the former church, which had been a museum, into a mosque.


	Erdogan's Islamist hijacking of the Hagia Sophia was no different than the Taliban blowing up Buddhist statues or ISIS destroying archeological remains. And yet the world insists on pretending that Erdogan is somehow different because he claims the mental of Islamist "democracy".


	And meanwhile the Islamist vandalism <a href="https://news.artnet.com/art-world/hagia-sophias-marble-floors-cracked-2138520">continues apace</a>.

<blockquote>
	
		A number of marble tiles on the floor of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, which was&nbsp;turned back into a mosque&nbsp;in 2020 after serving as a historical museum for decades, have reportedly been cracked by heavy machinery used to clean the building last week.&nbsp;According to the&nbsp;Turkish newspaper&nbsp;Cumhuriyet,&nbsp;a tour guide on the site said, “This historic building has faced tremendous damage. When Hagia Sophia was a museum, people visited it with great respect. It’s like a fairground now.”&nbsp;
</blockquote>


	Or more specifically a victory mosque and the purpose of a victory mosque is to proclaim, "Allahu Akbar", the supremacy of Islam through force by humiliating the "infidels".

<blockquote>
	
		According to Arie Amaya-Akkermans, a classicist and fervent cultural commentator based in Istanbul, the reconversion of the building into a mosque is a symbol of contemporary Turkey, “where heritage of the ‘other’ is destroyed and plundered in broad daylight to make way for uncontrolled development or simply for the pleasure of vandalism.”

	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.

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.

	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.

Supreme Court Decisions Are About the Means, Not the Ends

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

Supreme Court Decisions Are About the Means, Not the Ends

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.

Biden Sees Worst Half-Year Market Since Nixon Administration

Biden Sees Worst Half-Year Market Since Nixon Administration

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.
