OPINION: WASHINGTON SECRETS
Gas up 18% since election, could surpass $4 under Biden

Since Election Day, gas and crude oil prices have jumped. In the United States, gas prices are up 18% and oil nearly 50%.
In that commentators in this blog obsessed with the Covid Death Count until Biden took office, i thought that this article would bring them up to date.
BIDEN’S VIETNAM: 60K Americans Dead from COVID-19 in First Three Weeks of Presidency
If you happened to flip on CNN prior to Inauguration Day, chances are you noticed a COVID-19 tracker chyron that tallied the total cases and death count both globally and in the United States.
Now that Joe Biden is president, that chyron seems to have disappeared from broadcasts.
Fortunately The Washington Free Beacon anticipated CNN would do this so the outlet decided to pick up where they left off.
During a Friday press briefing, Biden said that Covid-19 deaths are expected to reach “well over 600,000.”
The president also warned that “there’s nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months.”
Biden, faced with his first real crisis with the Texas winter storms and power outages killing dozens, decided to go on CNN and spread Chinese talking points instead of giving any comfort to the people of Texas who are literally freezing to death over energy policies that Witless Joe is pushing. This man is disgusting. (He's also illegitimate)
The Democrats like the idea of $4 gas. They would prefer oil went back to $100 a barrel and gasoline to $5 a gallon to decrease consumption of fossil fuels. They forget that a lot of working class people will suffer if energy goes back to being so expensive. People will turn thermostats down to dangerous levels. And may not be able to afford gasoline to drive to their jobs. And us who live in rural areas will suffer more than city folk.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.

Usurper, that's rich!
Let's see. Biden 4 days ago ordered federal assistance for Texas. Trump at first refused federal assistance for CA and their wildfires and had to be convinced to change his mind. Biden = Presidential, Trump = big baby because mean old CA didn't vote for him.
"FEMA officials said in a statement that it was already assisting with California’s wildfires through Fire Management Assistance Grants, and that damage assessments showed that the wildfires “were not of such severity and magnitude to exceed the combined capabilities of the state, affected local governments, voluntary agencies and other responding federal agencies.”
I was hoping someone would point out his town hall yesterday where he said minorities are too stupid to use the internet. Every day he proves that he is everything he accused Trump of being.
