Republicans ain't going to like this
We all know that Russian state TV has been showing Tucker "My lawyer said that nobody in their right mind should believe anything I say" Carlson almost nonstop because of his constant praise for Corporal Bone Spurs.
Now we know why!
"A Russian state TV host has said that President Joe Biden should be removed from office and replaced by his predecessor Donald Trump, whom he described as a "partner" for Moscow.
The view expressed by Evgeny Popov on the Russian program 60 Minutes on Tuesday follows Biden's comments that Russian President Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power," which prompted a semblance of damage control from the White House, which insisted he was not calling for regime change.
In a comment suggesting who Russia would prefer in the White House, Popov said on Channel One on Tuesday: "It's time for us, our people, to call on the people of the United States to change the regime in the USA Early, and to [B]again[/B] help our partner, Trump, to become president. ".
Did anybody notice the 5-letter word towards the end of the quote? I admit, the bolding of the word was my doing.
All of the idiot Republicans and Russia proponents who post here derisively "Russiagate" and suggest that it was a nothingburger.
Nothingburger, my butt!
Bad news for all Clinton cucks

Really good post on Biden and oil prices
Biden doing everything possible to drive up the price of oil, some of it's illegal.

SEC Mandate Idiocy.
President Biden does not have the votes to pass his energy policy, so instead he tries to bully the Fed and the SEC.
Consider the SEC's Energy Proposal now open for comments (guaranteed to be ignored).
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") is proposing for public comment amendments to its rules under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") and Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") that would require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports.
The proposed rules would require information about a registrant's climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations, or financial condition.
The required information about climate-related risks would also include disclosure of a registrant's greenhouse gas emissions, which have become a commonly used metric to assess a registrant's exposure to such risks. In addition, under the proposed rules, certain climate-related financial metrics would be required in a registrant's audited financial statements.
He purpose of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is to prevent fraud, prevent securities theft, ensure fairness, halt insider trading, and prevent companies from distributing false financial information.
Nowhere does the Securities Act of 1933 or 1934 grant the SEC to promote Green policies at its whim.
The SEC is not, or at least should not be, in the business of implementing let alone creating climate change policy.
Yet that is precisely the intent.
The Wall Street Journal comments on the SEC's Climate Coup.
SEC Chairman Gary Gensler is redefining materiality as whatever BlackRock and progressive investors want to know. The 510-page proposal will require the public disclosure of risks to physical assets from climate change as well as from government anti-carbon policies.
Companies will have to report greenhouse-gas emissions generated directly by their operations (e. G. , refining oil) as well as from their energy consumption. Companies will also have to report what are called Scope 3 emissions from their supply chains and customers if they are material, which will be in the eyes of progressive investors.
For example, Exxon Mobil would have to report its direct emissions as well as any from fossil fuels burned to generate the electricity it uses. It may have to quantify emissions from the combustion of its products, the tankers that deliver them, and the manufacturing of its rigs and plastic products when they degrade.
Scope 3 emissions have no clear definition. The agency says it has "not proposed a bright-line quantitative threshold for the materiality determination" for Scope 3 emissions because this "would depend on the particular facts and circumstances, making it difficult to establish a 'one size fits all' standard. ".
Wow, just wow.
The pretense in this game has been, oh, we're not doing climate policy, we're just making sure that companies disclose (and, at the Fed, banks are not exposed to) risks. Financial risks. The climate might change, and the company goes out of business sorts of risks.
What does calculating (nearly impossible, including upstream and downstream) and "disclosing" greenhouse emissions themselves, including emissions from purchased energy is a different story.
Now, just what connection is there between, say, a refinery's CO2 emissions, including those of the electric company that it buys power from, and the emissions of the truck company that buys its grease, and the financial risk to the refinery? Does that "commonly used" metric make any sense at all? Of course not. Only, perhaps, political risk; that the SEC and other regulators might close down companies based on CO2 emissions. I hope that people involved in this debate will seize on whether "have become a commonly used metric to assess a registrant's exposure to such risks" is true, and whether it makes any sense at all.
Team Biden actions vs lies.
Team Biden is doing everything it can to discourage production of oil and gas, driving the price higher, while simultaneously begging them to produce more oil.
Biden claims to be attacking inflation, while driving up costs of production. He claims to want more oil, temporarily of course, until the price comes down.
Progressives are clearly in control of the Administration and that has been the case from day one.
What about the Fed?
President Biden nominated Sarah Bloom Raskin to be the Federal Reserve's vice chairwoman of banking supervision.
Progressives cheered because Raskin wanted the Fed to address the implications of climate change in its policy. She called for financial regulators to steer Wall Street away from high-carbon assets.
That is clearly outside the Fed's dual mandate, but neither Biden nor Progressives care about such matters.
On March 14, Senator Joe Manchin released this statement: I am Unable to Support Nomination of Sarah Bloom Raskin to Federal Reserve Board.
"Now more than ever, the United States must have policy leaders and economic experts who are focused on the most pressing issues facing the American people and our nation. Specifically rising inflation and energy costs. I have carefully reviewed Sarah Bloom Raskin's qualifications and previous public statements. Her previous public statements have failed to satisfactorily address my concerns about the critical importance of financing an all-of-the-above energy policy to meet our nation's critical energy needs. I have come to the conclusion that I am unable to support her nomination to serve as a member of the Federal Reserve Board.
"The Federal Reserve Board is not an institution that should politicize its critical decisions. This is a 10-year term to perhaps the most important independent body that is tasked with ensuring the stability of the American economy. At this historic moment for both the United States and the world at large, it is imperative the Federal Reserve Board preserves its independence and steers clear of any hint of partisanship. Instead, the Federal Reserve Board must remain hyper focused on ending the inflation taxes hurting working families and getting more workers off the sidelines and back into the economy. The time has come for the Federal Reserve Board to return to its defining principles and dual mandate of controlling inflation by ensuring stable prices and maximum employment. I will not support any future nominee that does not respect these critical priorities. ".
After that statement, the possibility of Raskin getting 50 Senate votes went to zero. She withdrew her nomination.
Will That Stop Biden?
Of course not.
Biden will find another Raskin clone the same way he has energy clones at the SEC to do his energy bidding.
Elizabeth Warren May as Well Be President, She Makes All Biden's Calls.
Warren nodded approval of Raskin.
Also recall Biden's Bank Regulatory Nominee Espouses Helicopter Money and Praises the Old USSR, [URL]https://twitter.com/SteveGuest/status/1458186398733905928[/URL].
Joe Biden's nominee for the Comptroller of the Currency Saule Omarova on oil, coal and gas industries: "We want them to go bankrupt if we want to tackle climate change."
Those industries are responsible for millions of Americans' paychecks.
And then you have the idiocy of Elizabeth Warren:

Most of our markets are dominated by a few giant companies take a look at the oil, meatpacking & grocery industries. What happens when there's a lot of concentration and little to no competition?

Companies raise consumer prices to expand their profits because they can.
I introduced a Windfall Profits Tax that says: if you're a Big Oil company engaged in price gouging, you're going to have to give up a big chunk of your ill-gotten gains.
Big Oil shouldn't be making billions in profits while Americans get crushed at the pump.
Expect a Challenge.
I expect a legal challenge to this latest SEC nonsense.
And if it gets to the Supreme Court, I expect the challenge to win.
It might not get that far. Any appeals court should easily strike down what the SEC is attempting to do outside its legal mandate.
Expect Higher Gas Prices.
With Biden sanctioning Russian gas, and with energy being mostly inelastic, don't expect too much relief at the pump.
Do expect more energy nonsense from Elizabeth Warren and president Biden.
Trains would still be carrying oil
[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;2680458]I am really amused that you accuse someone else of lying when you write such silly blather.
11 trains would equal the same amount of oil that Keystone would deliver at its planned full capacity. Far less than that capacity roll by rail now to meet current demand.[/QUOTE]The trains would still be carrying oil but the pipeline would deliver another 830,000 barrels of oil a day to refineries. Thus not needing Russia oil. Thus creating a surplus of cheaper oil than oil being shipped on trains. When there is a surplus prices go down. Not just on oil but all commodities. Biden creating a shortage drives prices up. Biden not approving permits on leather 9000 leases purchased by oil companies lowers production and deliverability. Thus causing prices to increase. Yes Biden has gotten oil and gas prices to increase. Yes Biden has made Warren Buffett funds increase dramatically because the trains are delivering oil.
And how do yes this change the fact that Hunter Biden is a criminal
[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;2680467]My version of the real news, which Canada / Cali Guy call fake news (MSNBC).
Reported last night that TrumpShip's unpaid lawyer, John Eastman, was ordered by a federal district judge to turn over to Liz Cheney's committee his private double-secret texts & e-mails between him and TrumpShit on January 6th as they planned and executed their crimes against the constitution.
The Verison burner phones have already been identified. So the 7 1/2 gap in the White House's phone log will only support doubts about intent.
The educated know which real new story really is coming soon.[/QUOTE]And how does this deflecting rubbish change the fact that Hunter Biden and his family are criminals?
