President Joe Biden announced near the end of last month that he would make an order to release over 1 million barrels of oil per day from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) for over six months as the price of fuel continues to climb all over the country. This choice was made as a form of pressure release valve which became necessary due to other actions taken by the president, naming the boycotting of Russian oil after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. While the SPR release equates to only about 5% of the total amount of oil Americans use…

Officials within the Biden administration are working hard to remove a Trump-era rule intended to provide protections for religious health care workers by letting them refuse to treat or provide services that they think violate their moral beliefs and conscience. Staying in the same vein as the rest of Biden’s agenda, one spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) stated a strong confirmation via Politico, this past Tuesday, of measures that are going to remove the Trump-era rules are coming down the river. “HHS has made clear through the unified regulatory agenda that we are in the…
One watchdog group has issued a demand of the White House, Office of Government Ethics, and the Department of Justice to launch a probe into whether Press secretary Jen Psaki was in violation of ethical obligations while being courted to take employment at MSNBC directly after her current stint as press secretary of the White House. It was recently reported that Psaki is slated to drop away from her role this upcoming May in order to take a job in network television with MSNBC. The report claims two main sources familiar with the issue who are well aware of the…
This past Tuesday, the top two rideshare titans, Lyft and Uber, have finally ended their mask mandates for both drivers and riders. This decision follows in the wake of a ruling from U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle on Monday that confirmed that all federal travel mask mandates were unlawful because they “exceeded the CDC’s statutory authority, improperly invoked the good cause exception to notice and comment rulemaking, and failed to adequately explain its decisions.” “As of April 19, 2022, riders and drivers are not required to wear masks when using Uber,” stated the company on its website. “However, the…
This past Tuesday, Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis released an announcement that stated that the legislators of Florida have started considering the outright termination of Disney’s Reedy Creek Improvement District. “Governor DeSantis’ position is that all businesses in Florida should be able to compete on a fair playing field, without company-specific carve-outs or special favors from government,” stated Press Secretary Christina Pushaw about the recent comments from the governor. This choice will seek to remind Disney that the media titan is just a “guest” sitting in Florida, commented Florida State Representative Randy Fine. On Tuesday, Fine stated that the expansion…
Yet another, this time the sixth, bus moving groups of illegal immigrants from Texas to Washington D.C., managed to get to the capitol late Sunday evening as Republican Governor Greg Abbott maintains his promise to follow through with his plan to shuttle migrants to the capital in response to what he stated were President Joe Biden’s “failed” policies concerning the border. The arrival was live-streamed via Facebook by WUSA-9 TV from an area near Union Station at Delaware Avenue NE and Columbus Circle NE.

The vast majority of Americans seem to be showing support for a ban on the teaching of young kids about transgender issues and sexual orientation via public school, as discovered by a newly released poll. This newest survey seems to indicate broad-spectrum support for a brand new law in Florida, which somehow has become a massive culture war tinderbox that pitted Republicans and the majority of family groups against the corporations and for some odd reason, celebrities. Disney leaped headfirst into the public opposition group of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signing the “Parental Rights in Education Bill,” which states…
Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, has called out the board of directors of Twitter for “objectively” not having their “economic interests” in line with the rest of the shareholders of the company. Musk’s string of critical tweets was put forth in the wake of the board panicking and adopting a “poison pill” policy in an effort to try and push back or destabilize the billionaire’s hostile takeover of the company. “Elon Musk is in for a bad time,” stated Chris Bakke, the founder of Laskie, in a post. “I’m not sure he’s prepared to take on a couple PhDs,…
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has come forward and stated that the world should be ready for Russia to make use of nuclear weapons as part of its continuing campaign aiming to take over chunks of neighboring Ukraine. When speaking in an interview with Jake Tapper, an anchor for CNN, on a segment of “State of the Union,” Zelensky stated that he thought that Russian President Vladimir Putin was entirely capable of escalating things to the point of nuclear war and that Putin was, in fact, more than willing to do so as well. https://twitter.com/CNNSotu/status/1515678947324874761?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1515678947324874761%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fdont-be-afraid-be-ready-zelensky-says-the-world-should-prepare-for-russia-to-use-nukes Tapper kicked off the segment by…
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is calling out for the help of the public in the finding of a now missing portable nuclear gauge that vanished in the wake of thieves taking a vehicle that has since been recovered. As stated by the authorities, if left untouched, the device will not be able to do any harm. On the other hand though, if it is disturbed, the gauge could end up leaking radiation to anyone in its vicinity. “It is critical for anyone who has information about the lost nuclear gauge to contact local authorities or DEP,” stated David…

Jen Psaki, the White House Press Secretary, has once again had to take on the role of spin doctor to try and give some form of reason for the several recent instances in which President Joe Biden’s off the script statements threw the White House into panicked clean-up mode for those within the administration. As stated in a press briefing that took place on Wednesday, Psaki commented that Biden was just making good on a promise from his campaign to “shoot from the shoulder.” https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1514336702663467011?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1514336702663467011%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Fjen-psaki-explains-away-biden-walkbacks-says-hes-keeping-his-promise-to-shoot-from-the-shoulder “Jen, three times now the president has made comments about the war that the White…
The California Air Resources Board has issued the demand that 35% of all its new car sales throughout the state be battery or hydrogen-powered by 2026 as officials within the state try to make headway on the insane demand from Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom to eliminate the sale of all new gas-powered cars by as soon as 2035. “Pull away from the gas pumps,” stated Newsom. “Let us no longer be victims of geopolitical dictators that manipulate global supply chains and global markets.” The sale of electric vehicles jumped to 12.4% in California throughout 2021, an increase from where it…
This past Thursday, Ron DeSantis, the Republican Governor of Florida, has officially signed a piece of legislation that outright bans all late-term abortions after the 15th week of gestation. The law, titled HB 5, does allow a few exceptions for when the mother’s life is in danger due to the pregnancy or in danger of “irreversible physical impairment,” or if the unborn child has a fetal abnormality, such as Down Syndrome. Most noteworthy, however, it does not offer any exceptions for rape. “These are protections for babies that have heartbeats, that can feel pain,” stated DeSantis when speaking about HB…
