Joe Biden let the cat out of the bag Monday. He was asked by a reporter about skyrocketing gas prices, which are setting new records almost every day. The president replied, “We’re going through an incredible transition… When it’s over … we’ll be less reliant on fossil fuels.”

An “incredible transition”? I think he’s enjoying this misery. Clearly, Joe Biden is not feeling your pain at the pump.

Here’s what you need to help your friends and family members understand: Biden doesn’t care about your pain at the pump because he’s causing it!

Your pain at the pump is all part of the left’s plan. But don’t take my word for it. The left has been very clear about its radical agenda.

  • Barack Obama said he wanted to bankrupt the coal industry.

  • Obama’s energy secretary said they wanted gas to be $10 a gallon.

  • Hillary Clinton said she wanted to put coal miners out of work.

  • Joe Biden said he wanted to “transition away” from the oil and gas industry.

So, the first thing he did after taking office was to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline. He’s choking off future supply of oil and natural gas by banning new domestic energy exploration.

His political appointees are demanding that we bankrupt our energy companies in the name of “climate change.” And they want to impose carbon taxes and “social costs” to energy, making it more expensive and forcing you to change the way you live.

So, how is Biden’s “incredible transition” going for you?

By the way, it doesn’t stop with you and your car. Biden wants our military to drive electric “climate-friendly” tanks, too! Exactly where on the battlefield are we supposed to plug in our tanks?

If our auto fleet is all electric in a few years, how do you get to the hospital or to the grocery store after a hurricane or some other major disaster knocks out the electricity, not for hours, but days or weeks?

And why would we do one more thing that empowers communist China, which has cornered the market on the rare earth minerals needed to mass produce electric vehicles?

This idiocy is driving everything the Biden Administration does!

We must save ourselves at the ballot box this November.

Biden’s Modern Military

When he’s not planning for “climate friendly” tanks, Biden is doing everything he can to push a radical, woke agenda into the ranks of the military. Here’s the latest.

According to Military.com, the U.S. Army is drafting a new policy that would allow soldiers to claim a “discrimination exemption” allowing them to relocate to a new base in a different state. Exactly what would these exemptions cover?

Well, the draft policy would allow “soldiers to declare that certain states are too racist, too homophobic, too sexist or otherwise discriminatory to be able to live there safely and comfortably.”

In other words, soldiers who don’t like Florida’s new Parental Rights in Education law could demand to be moved out of “transphobic Florida.” Soldiers at Fort Hood who don’t like Texas’s pro-life laws could demand to be relocated to pro-abortion California.

Keep in mind that this is the same administration that has refused virtually every religious exemption request for COVID-19 vaccinations.

How long will it be before Biden starts allowing soldiers on the battlefield to apply for “discrimination exemptions” because the war zone is too discriminatory to live safely and comfortably?

This left-wing insanity must be stopped!

Speaking of war zones, Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas has visited Ukraine and our southern border in recent days. Here’s what he told Breitbart News Daily:

“I just was at the Poland-Ukraine border three weeks ago, and the sea of humanity I’m seeing here [at the U.S.-Mexico border] is much, much worse… I’m a physician, I’ve done humanitarian work all across the world.

"I shouldn’t be emotionally disturbed by what I’m seeing, and what I’ve seen these past four days [at the U.S.-Mexico border] just literally makes me want to vomit. It’s so horrifying.”

Resisting Biden’s Bad Treaty

Kudos to the House Freedom Caucus!

The conservative Freedom Caucus members sent a letter to President Biden Monday demanding an immediate halt to his push for a global treaty that surrenders America’s sovereignty by allowing the World Health Organization to determine how we will fight a future pandemic.

The Freedom Caucus told Biden to either get out of the WHO, as Donald Trump did, or to “push serious reforms to aggressively correct the organization’s rampant corruption and ineffectual leadership.” Of course, Biden won’t do any of those things.

But at least the Freedom Caucus is resisting his mad rush to global government. Every conservative member of Congress and America First candidate running for office this year should stand with them. They should campaign against the pro-communist China WHO.

I am pleased to report that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Senator Marco Rubio are also speaking out against the WHO. And Rep. Chip Roy of Texas has introduced legislation to defund the World Health Organization. His bill currently has 46 co-sponsors, all Republicans.

No president can commit the United States to a binding treaty with just the stroke of his pen. Treaties must be submitted to the U.S. Senate for ratification, which requires 67 votes.

If the president does not do that, it’s not a treaty, and any future president can withdraw from an agreement, just as President Trump withdrew the United States from the terrible Obama/Biden nuclear deal with Iran.

Anti-Semitism In The House

Last week, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and other members of the socialist Squad, introduced a resolution calling on the United States government to recognize the “Nakba.” No doubt many readers are wondering what that it is.

That’s the Arabic word for “disaster” or “catastrophe,” and it’s how radical Palestinians refer to the founding of the modern state of Israel in 1948.

Tlaib’s resolution is nothing but pure, unadulterated anti-Semitism.

When you declare that the creation of the only Jewish state in the entire world — in the land where Jews have been for thousands of years, the land of the Bible, the land of David and of Solomon — is a “disaster,” you are the worst kind of anti-Semite.

Tlaib and all the co-sponsors of this disgusting resolution should be kicked off their committees! Yet, there is no price to be paid by Tlaib for this outrageous resolution.

Nancy Pelosi has been silent. So has Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer and the “mainstream media.” There was no chorus of outrage from House and Senate Republicans. I did an Internet news search for “Kevin McCarthy Tlaib Nakba” and nothing came up.

Yes, some people did speak up. But not nearly enough. And this is why I am deeply worried that we won’t do nearly as well in November because we’re playing prevent defense.

While the entire Democrat Party is trying to label us as anti-Semites, neo-Nazis and racists, Tlaib is shouting her bigotry from rooftops and there’s barely a peep of protest.

What’s Wrong In Pennsylvania?

What is going on in Pennsylvania? The state allows weeks of early voting, which ended on May 10th. They have been counting ballots every day since the primary, which was last Tuesday.

It’s now eight days later. Something is wrong in Pennsylvania. How can it be that we still do not have the results of the Republican Senate primary a full week later?

Our election systems need serious reforms. There should be secure ballots. There should be an Election Day, not an election month. And there should be quick, conclusive results.
