...The SPR is now at its lowest level since 1984 with just 17 days worth of supply left.
- The White House has been vague about when the Biden administration plans to refill the reserve after Democrats rejected a 2020 proposal from President Donald Trump to fill the SPR at $20 per barrel...

Harvard Economist: Dem Spending Helped Cause Inflation, Fed 'Didn't Want to Get in the Way' of Biden, Likely We'll Have 'Deep Recession':
On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Fox Business Tonight,” Professor of Economics at Harvard University and former International Monetary Fund Chief Economist Ken Rogoff stated that Democrats “spent too much too late” after the coronavirus pandemic and that’s one of the reasons for high inflation and the Federal Reserve “waited too long because they didn’t want to get in the way of the Biden administration’s growth plan,” and now we have a “very high” probability of a recession and the odds are “more than 50% that it’s going to be a deep recession.”

The Economy Will Never Prosper Under Biden: Here’s Why
The Economy Will Never Prosper Under Biden: Here’s Why - I & I Editorial Board
"...The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) just this morning released its hugely valuable report called “10,000 Commandments,” which is a compendium of the regulatory state.
In it, CEI Vice President for Policy Clyde Wayne Crews lays out the terrible truth about Biden’s regulatory zeal.
Biden also issued an executive order that, as we pointed out on Jan. 29, 2021, was the worst of them all.
- The first thing you have to understand about federal regulation is how massive it already is, with compliance costs that total more than $1.9 trillion a year.
- That’s bigger than Canada’s entire GDP. It’s bigger, in fact, than all but seven nations in the world. It works out to almost $15,000 per household.
- And it is growing at a ferocious pace....
Biden also issued an executive order that, as we pointed out on Jan. 29, 2021, was the worst of them all.
- It gutted the one minor speed bump in front of new regulations, namely that they had to be reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget and pass a basic cost-benefit analysis.
- Biden changed the review process to instead be “a tool to affirmatively promote regulations” and “to ensure swift and effective federal action” on everything from the pandemic, to the economy, to racial inequality, to the “undeniable reality and accelerating threat of climate change.”...

Fetterman's Lines Were Canned, But He Couldn't Read the Labels
“Hi. Good night, everybody.” That’s how Senate candidate John Fetterman began his first and only debate of the 2022 election, and it turned out to be the high point of his evening.
I watched the whole thing, and it was the longest hour of my life that didn’t involve some sort of surgery.
...The fine folks at the Washington Free Beacon have condensed a full hour of Fetterman’s stroke-addled babbling into 90 seconds:
A few of Fetterman’s bon mots:

SIMON: Just Like In Communist Countries, The State Is Turning Your Children Against You | The Daily Caller:
In all Marxist regimes, a goal is to separate the children from their parents and make them property of the State. In the Soviet Union, children were encouraged to spy on their parents and report them to the authorities for any anti-Communist remarks. A boy named Pavlik Morozov even became national “martyr” for turning his father in to the Stalinist police. The result of these policies would be the “New Man,” who would safeguard the new utopia and its glorious leaders.

"They don't call it the Golden State for nothing.
- Late last week came news that even California progressives recognized as a sign of peak nonsense in the Golden State’s gold-plated misgovernment: San Francisco was beginning the planning process to build a single-toilet public restroom at a cost of... $1.7 million. Even Gov. Gavin Newsom, embarrassed by the publicity for this absurdity, has demanded the state funding be revoked.
- ...the proposal to link California’s two major metropolitan areas with high-speed rail was finally launched in 2008 with a ballot initiative providing an initial $9.9 billion in bonds for the project that ludicrously claimed would only cost around $33 billion to complete.

EXCLUSIVE: Whitmer Administration Closing Down Black Adoption Agency on Friday
EXCLUSIVE: Whitmer Administration Closing Down Black Adoption Agency on Friday
"LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – With Democratic Governor Whitmer’s insistence on supporting abortion and vetoing adoption funding in July of this year, she has shut off resources for state money being available for organizations that provide adoption services.
- This summer, even with the state awash in tax dollars, Whitmer decided to veto millions of dollars of adoption funding that the Republicans had included in the budget – a budget which was the largest in the state’s history.
- Whitmer called the adoption funding harmful and used her line-item veto power to get rid of about $25.5 million of funding which would have been available to support pregnancy resources and adoption alternatives like those offered by the Detroit organization “Homes for Black Children” (HBC)...

Demented
1 : mad, insane
2 : affected by or exhibiting cognitive dementia. Merriam-Webster
Tuesday night’s Pennsylvania Senate debate brings into sharp relief the fact that America is really, truly, genuinely, not kidding, experiencing a debate as to whether it is “ageism” or “ableism” to question the fitness for office of:
A soon-to-be octogenarian quasi-president who
- habitually walks off podiums reaching out to shake hands with the air and then wanders around confused;
- frequently interrupts himself mid-sentence when he lapses into incoherence;
- regularly utters policy statements laden with global import that must be immediately walked back by White House staff; and
- recently looked into the audience seeking a deceased politician – whose passing he was there to commemorate.
A candidate for United States Senate, the World’s Greatest Deliberative Body™, who
- this year suffered a debilitating stroke yet refuses to release his medical records;
- in rare public appearances never fails to mangle multiple words, phrases and thoughts;
- required a closed captioning device to comprehend a journalists’ interview questions; and
- who opened the debate with the, umm, unusual greeting of “Hi, goodnight, everybody,” uttered unintelligible responses throughout, and bizarrely broke into one of his opponent’s answers and his closing statement with complete non-sequiturs.

Watch: Ron DeSantis Bashes 'Genital Mutilation' for Minors at Debate:
DeSantis has taken a hardline policy against the gender transitioning of children throughout his administration and he defended his record against attacks from Crist on Monday, denouncing the practice as child abuse.
“When they say gender-affirming care, they mean giving puberty blockers to teenage girls and teenage boys,” he said. “They mean doing double mastectomies on young girls. They mean chemically-castrating young boys.”
Why I Don’t Trust the Medical System
Why I Don’t Trust the Medical System: - Jordan Alexander
"...Why is it that 62 percent of Americans have only some or little confidence in the medical system?
- One possible reason is misdiagnosis. Around 12 million patients are misdiagnosed in the U.S. every year, based on a 2014 estimate. And even if a misdiagnosis is not deadly, it wastes both the patient’s and hospital’s time and resources.
- Another potential reason is that the first solution to every medical ailment is to prescribe some variety of drug. Forty-two percent of 65-year-olds and older in America are on at least five medications, according to a 2019 report.
