Biden Could Have Kept Keystone Open - Instead, He's Begging Dictators for Oil: Canadian Officials By Abby Liebing, The Wes+
As gas prices continue to take a toll on Americans, President Joe Biden has been trying various schemes to address the rising price at the pump.But besides Biden’s desperate measures simply not working, they are also making the U.S. look laughable on the world stage.
Most recently, the president started pleading with Canada for more oil, but he still refuses to resurrect the Keystone XL pipeline, the Wall Street Journal reported.
With the onset of the Russia-Ukraine war, most of the West rushed to sanction Russian oil.
Prices went up accordingly. West Texas Intermediate (the U.S. oil benchmark) has been hovering around $100 per barrel and Brent Crude (the European benchmark) has stayed fairly consistently above $100 per barrel, Oil Price reported.tern Journal April 6, 2022
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Announces Plan to Charter Buses of Illegal Aliens to Washington, DC By Richard Moorhead, The Western Journal April 6, 2022
With a historic wave of illegal aliens set to cross the southern border this spring, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has a plan to make the Biden administration deal with the consequences of its own border policies.
Abbott announced on Wednesday that the state will charter buses of illegal immigrants directly to Washington, D.C.The governor was speaking at a news conference in Weslaco, Texas.
BREAKING: Texas Gov.
@GregAbbott_TX says that Texas will be sending charter buses of illegal migrants to Washington DC: "The Biden Administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they’re allowing to come across our border."
Abbott is sending the aliens directly to the workplace of some of the political elites responsible for America’s nearly open border.
“We are sending them to the United States Capitol where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border,” he said.
Residents of border communities in states such as Texas have been hit hard by the lack of immigration enforcement under President Joe Biden.

Video shows Republicans walking out of the Senate chamber as Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed as the first Black female Supreme Court justice tporter@businessinsider.com (Tom Porter) - 4h ago
The DemoRat Senate confirmed Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court on Thursday.
DemoRat Republican Sen. Rino Romney stayed in the Senate chamber and joined the applause.
Republicans walked out of the Senate chamber during a standing ovation as Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed as the first Black female Supreme Court justice in US history.
Video footage showed several Republican senators leaving their seats and heading to the exits as applause erupted in the chamber after the Senate voted 53-47 to confirm her to the Supreme Court on Thursday.
The one Republican senator filmed joining the applause as colleagues filed past was Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, who was one of only three moderate Republicans who voted to confirm Joe Biden's nominee. The others were Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine.
Sitting next to Romney in the footage is Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who can be seen gathering his belongings and leaving the Senate chamber as Romney claps and Jackson's family celebrate in the background. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who she said had been late for the vote, and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who said he had not been admitted to the Senate chamber because he wasn't wearing a tie and had to cast his "no" vote from the cloakroom instead.
"Whether you agree with the outcome or not, you need to pay this woman the respect that she is due. And you need to do that for any Supreme Court nominee," Borger said.
Jackson's confirmation hearings were a grueling process, with the US appeals court judge at times subjected to questioning and accusations by Republicans that legal experts have denounced as unfair and misleading.
During the confirmation, Sen. Josh Hawley misleadingly claimed she had been lenient toward offenders guilty of child-sexual-abuse-image offences, in a line of attack criticized by the White House as a dog whistle to the far-right QAnon movement.
Sen. Tom Cotton baselessly claimed that she would have defended Nazi war criminals, falsely saying that she had chosen to defend Guantanamo Bay inmates while neglecting to mention the cases were assigned to her when she was a public defender.
In a sign of the deep partisan divisions in the Senate, the vote to advance Jackson's confirmation in the Senate Judiciary Committee was deadlocked, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer having to use a special procedure to advance the process to a full Senate vote.

The Federal Election Commission slapped the Clintons campaign and the Democrat National Committee with fines of over $100,000 for funneling money to a leftwing law firm to fund the Russian collusion hoax dossier.
Clinton's henchmen and her Deep State collaborators also spied on President Trump's campaign.

3 RINOS' Senate confirms Ketanji Brown Jackson to Supreme Court Dylan Stableford Thu, April 7, 2022,
Three RINOs on Thursday voted 53-47 to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.
Jackson, 51, will become the Supreme Court’s 116th justice and the first Black woman ever to sit on its bench.
Vice President Kamala Harris, the nation’s first woman, first Black person and first Asian American to hold that office, presided over the historic vote.
The final tally — which was delayed by more than 15 minutes by GOP Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul’s absence — was met with applause in the chamber when Harris announced it.
“I am feeling overjoyed,” Harris told reporters as she left the Senate. “And I am feeling a deep sense of pride in who we are as a nation.
Texas To Start Busing Illegal Immigrants To Washington, D.C., As Biden Scraps Trump-Era Border Policy
By Tim Pearce• Apr 6, 2022 DailyWire.com- Texas will bus illegal immigrants caught entering the state to Washington, D.C., Governor Greg Abbott (R) announced on Wednesday.
During a press conference, Abbott announced several new actions his administration is taking to expand Operation Lone Star, a state government effort to curb illegal immigration into the state from Mexico.
Abbott announced new actions as the Biden administration plans to lift Title 42, a Trump-era border policy that has allowed the United States, on the basis of COVID-19, to stop migrants from entering the country. The Biden administration plans to officially scrap the policy in late May and is preparing for an influx of immigrants.
“With the Biden administration ending Title 42 expulsions in May, Texas will be taking its own unprecedented actions this month to do what no state in America has ever done in the history of this country to better secure our state, as well as our nation,” Abbott said.
One of the additional actions being taken, Abbott said, will be charter buses hired by the state to transport illegal immigrants to Washington, D.C.
“To help local officials whose communities are being overwhelmed with hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by the Biden administration, Texas is providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants who have been dropped off by the Biden administration to Washington, D.C.,” Abbott announced. “We are sending them to the United States capital where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border.”
Abbott also announced “enhanced public safety inspection of vehicles” crossing from Mexico into Texas at ports of entry. The new policy will “dramatically slow traffic from Mexico into Texas,” Abbott admitted, but the governor said the new process is necessary to curb cartel traffic flowing from Mexico into Texas.
“Those two strategies are in addition to announcing the following actions to further deter illegal immigrants, including deploying boat blockades at appropriate regions in the Rio Grande River, deploying razor wire at low-water crossings in high traffic areas, creating container blockades to drive people away from low water crossings,” Abbott said.
The governor added that he will announce additional measures next week.
Abbott’s announcement comes after several GOP-controlled states filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration over its plans to scrap Title 42.
“Missouri, Arizona, and Louisiana filed suit against the Biden Administration for rescinding Title 42 amid one of the worst border crises in this country’s history. Title 42 is a crucial tool for controlling the influx of illegal aliens at our Southern border,” Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt said in a statement on Monday.
“Time and again, the Biden Administration has failed to act to secure our Southern border and have terminated successful programs like Title 42 and the ‘Remain in Mexico’ Policy. Missouri has been a leader in pushing back on the Biden Administration’s failure at the border, and we filed suit against the cancellation of the ‘Remain in Mexico’ Policy and also filed suit to force the Biden Administration to build the Southwest border wall. If the Biden Administration won’t take proactive steps to secure our border and protect our citizenry, we certainly will,” he added. - READ MORE

It's about time...ACTUALLY, it's PAST time she is arrested and pays the price for her DIRTY DEEDS..!!
For decades, Hillary Clinton has been a self-serving, corrupt politician desperate for power above all else. And she was never held accountable from a legal standpoint — not for Benghazi, not for her flouting laws on government secrecy and transparency, and not for any of the Clinton scandals from the 1990s.
© Provided by Washington Examiners years later,the Clinton machine is finally busted for violating campaign lawUntil now.
For what appears to be the first time in history, Clinton has been held responsible. The Federal Election Commission recently fined Hillary for America, Clinton’s 2016 campaign committee, and the Democratic National Committee over the now-infamous Steele dossier. Levying a total of $113,000 in fines, the FEC determined that Clinton and her co-conspirators used their law firm, Perkins Coie, to secretly fund research by British national Christopher Steele, who generated and disseminated the salacious and discredited dossier.
In the process, the Clinton machine failed to report publicly the true recipient and purpose of more than $1 million, which was spent on the scheme. Democrats illegally used Perkins Coie as a ”cut out” to hide their dirty tricks — a blatant violation of federal campaign finance laws. For context, in 2015, political operatives Jesse Benton, Dimitrios Kesari, and John Tate were criminally convicted for a similar scheme that involved only a fraction of the total dollar amount.

Why That Sacramento Mass Shooting Story Has Fallen Off the Radar Matt Vespa Posted: Apr 05, 2022
Sacramento police have announced the arrest of a second suspect – the brother of the first suspect arrested Monday – in connection to the weekend mass shooting that left six dead and a dozen wounded.
Smiley Martin, 27, was taken into custody Tuesday morning as he recovered at a hospital from injuries suffered during the gunfire that broke out in the California capital's entertainment district early Sunday morning, the Sacramento Police Department said.
Martin faces charges of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and possession of a machine gun. Police said he will be booked at the Sacramento County Main Jail once his medical treatment is finished.
Martin is the brother of 26-year-old Dandrae Martin, who was arrested as a suspect in the mass shooting a day earlier. Dandrae Martin is facing charges of assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. Neither has been accused of homicide.
More than 100 shots erupted as bar patrons filled the city streets at closing time around 2 a.m. Sunday morning. Video from witnesses posted on social media showed rapid gunfire for at least 45 seconds as people screamed in terror and ran to escape the bullets.
Three women and three men were fatally shot and a dozen others were injured during the shooting.
Remember, as soon as the perpetrator is revealed as nonwhite, the media scatters like cockroaches under bright lights. In 2021, there was a mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado. The anti-gun talking points were primed until the media found out the shooter was a Syrian, Ahmad Al Aliwi Al-Issa. What about the other Capitol Hill attack in April of 2021? That’s the one when Noah Green tried to use his Nissan Altima to ram the barricades outside the building and then proceeded to charge Capitol Police officers with a knife. He killed one. When it was discovered, that he was a member of the Nation of Islam, the story was killed.
Expect the same treatment here. The only mass shootings that deserve 24/7 attention are ones committed by white males. We all know the rules. This shooting doesn’t meet the Left’s requirement regarding coverage.
There was a mass shooting at a bar in Sacramento, California a few days ago. Joe Biden did mention it. The usual folks went through the motions, calling for more gun control. Six people were left dead with another dozen or so wounded. More than 100 shots were fired. Why is it getting buried? Well, we have a war in Ukraine, high inflation, high gas prices, a border crisis that’s about to get worse, and a supply chain still in chaos. There’s a lot of more pressing news, but there’s also another reason. The suspect doesn’t fit the ‘bash the white dudes’ narrative. It’s not a white male. Therefore, countermeasures have been deployed by the liberal media. This story is about to die, but police did arrest two people connected to the shooting (via Fox News):

Has Joe Biden been pulled into Hunter grand jury probe? Witness is asked to identify 'the big guy' who would get kick-back in deal with Chinese energy giant after former associate claimed it was the President By HARRIET ALEXANDER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
The question was asked at a secret hearing in Wilmington, Delaware - although what the unidentified witness said in response has not been reported.
It stems from a March 2017 email discussing a joint venture with a now-defunct Chinese energy company, CEFC China Energy Co.
A former Hunter-associate previously claimed the phrase 'the big guy' referred to President Biden himself, sparking calls for him to face a conspiracy probe.
He has always denied all allegations of wrongdoing, with Hunter facing questions about why he was accepting work from energy firms despite no knowledge of the area.
The latest twist in the Hunter saga was reported in the New York Post on Monday, four years after he was first put under investigation.
It follows the Washington Post and The New Times also confirming the authenticity of the contents of the laptop Hunter left at a Delaware repair show.

The Biden Administration’s New Plan to Boost Democrats With Election Manipulation BY: TARREN BRAGDONAPRIL 04, 2022
President Biden is trying to turn government into a get-out-the-vote operation for his own political party. After failing to pass federal legislation to federalize control of the elections through Congress, and after states passed election integrity bills of their own, the president is attempting a very quiet federal election takeover using an executive order to redirect federal tax dollars toward identifying new voting blocs who are expected to heavily support Democratic candidates.
One year ago, the Oval Office issued Executive Order 14019, which demanded more than a dozen federal agencies to register new voters and “promote voter participation.” The list of agencies ranged from the Department of Education to the Department of Homeland Security.
The average American does not think of federal agencies as responsible for voter registration and get out the vote efforts, and very few details have been released about the order’s implementation. This is by design—when politicians aren’t bragging, they are usually hiding.
In this case, the Biden administration is hiding an effort to require federal agencies to work with partisan private groups to strategically boost voter turnout in areas that would benefit Democrats. This order tips the scales to favor one party at every level of our representative democracy.
This is like the “Zuckerbucks” scandal that funneled millions of private dollars into Democrat-favored districts during the 2020 election. But rather than Facebook’s founder funding it, taxpayers would.
Under the guise of grants to help protect voters from Covid-19, Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg distributed more than $400 million to government election offices through a non-profit run by a former fellow of the Obama Foundation. Numerous Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests revealed the grants were largely not used to purchase personal protective equipment, as was claimed. Instead, the funds were used to boost election turnout in left-leaning districts, effectively embedding highly partisan efforts within government agencies.
The only new info since he voted against her a few months ago was increased awareness of her “soft-on-pedos” approach, which makes this new Romney position super interesting.
What Conservatives Found Peculiar About Mitt Romney's Decision on Ketanji Brown Jackson Matt Vespa Posted: Apr 05, 2022
It's always those three—always. When it comes time for Republicans to unite, they will find some reason to stab us in the back. The Romney hate erupted within the ranks of the conservative base and for good reason. Not only did Romney stab us in the back, but he had also previously voted against Judge Jackson for her lower court appointment. She’s not
qualified for the appeals court, but she’s a-okay for the Supreme Court. That’s the anti-Trump GOP for you, everyone. Luckily, they’re a breed that’s rapidly approaching extinction.
If anything, the anti-Trump GOP — which Romney, Murkowski, and Collins represent — shows that they’re spineless when it comes to the fight, and utterly unprincipled on everything else. They’re the slice that still thinks you can be moderate. You can’t. This is a time for choosing, for picking sides. Those in the crossfire never end up making it—politically.
And if these three were to not ever hold their offices again, the Senate Republicans would be infinitely better off.
Barack Obama Plans White House Return to Cheer Obamacare with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris Steven ChavezJ Laurie a day ago

Rep. Chris Stewart: Congress Can't Allow "American KGB" To Continue To Target U.S. Persons Posted By Tim Hains April 2, 2022
Utah Republican Rep. Chris Stewart told FNC's Tucker Carlsonon Friday that Congress needs to reassert control over the intelligence community's activities inside the U.S.
"If you want to build an American KGB, if you think that's a good idea, then keep going down this road."
"But if you think it's a horrible, fearsome idea, then please work with me to try and stop it," Stewart said to members of Congress.
"I wonder how many members of Congress feel intimidated to push back on the powers of these agencies?" Tucker Carlson asked.
"I guess we're going to find out," Stewart said.
That is why you have a situation, like about a year ago, where the office of the director of national intelligence, not the FBI, not Homeland Security. The DNI, using the tools of the National Counterterrorism Center provides a briefing to Congress on what? "White supremacy." On domestic terrorism.
It should enrage Americans that they would think they are allowed to use this awesome power. If you think you want to build an American KGB, if you think that is a good idea, then keep going down this road. But if you think it's a horrible, fearsome idea, then please work with me, I'm talking to members of Congress, please work with me to try to stop it.
TUCKER CARLSON: They've spied on this show, they've admitted it. I've spoken directly with two sitting members of Congress whose job it is to oversee the intelligence agencies, who told me directly that they were being spied on by the intel agencies and they didn't do anything about it. I wonder how many members of congress are too intimidated to push back on the powers of these agencies?
REP. CHRIS STEWART: Well, I guess we are going to find out.
It's not just members of the press. We know that the CIA and Director Brennan lied about it when they were spying on members of the Senate. For heaven's sake, if the last four or five years have taught us anything, it has surely taught us that senior members of the FBI and the Department of Justice were clearly deceptive to Congress, deceptive to the FISA courts, deceptive to the American people, and now once again they want to increase that ability, enhance that ability by drawing in these other agencies.
Once again, there's no reason for it, there's no need for it. There are enough terror threats and other threats for them to [do], it's not like they've got extra bandwidth like they don't have anything else to do.
And very clearly, the Department of Justice and FBI, that is their responsibility. Not the CIA, not the NSA.

A most damaging leak: Biden wants Trump prosecuted
Howard Kurtz - 8h ago
When an attorney general of your party won’t bring charges against someone you like, he is serving the cause of justice and refusing to kowtow to the mob.
When an attorney general of the other party declines to bring an indictment against someone you don’t like, he is a wuss who must be beaten up until he does the right thing.
After four years of slamming Donald Trump for politicizing the Justice Department, especially under Bill Barr, the media is taking a very different approach to Joe Biden and his AG, Merrick Garland.
Since Garland has thus far brought no criminal charges against Trump or his top aides or allies in connection with the Capitol riot, he is now being pressured to do so by Democrats and some media liberals.
This is precisely the kind of pressure they loudly decried when it came from the Trump White House.

The New York Times, without a hint of disapproval, reports that "Democrats’ increasingly urgent calls for the Justice Department to take more aggressive action highlight the tension between the frenetic demands of politics and the methodical pace of one of the biggest prosecutions in the department’s history."
Let’s be clear: When partisans demand indictments, it means they only care about securing an outcome that is favorable to their side. They haven’t seen all the evidence, they have no access to grand jury testimony, they just want a political opponent behind bars.

To Protect Kids We Need To Fire A Lot Of Teachers Derek Hunter Posted:Apr 03, 2022
Thank God for the Twitter account “Libs of TikTok.” Whoever the anonymous woman running that account is, she’s doing the Lord’s work when it comes to exposing the general public to the entitled brats now working as teachers in the public school system across the country. It’s hilarious and horrifying all at once, and something needs to be done about it if we’re going to stand a chance of returning to sanity in this country. A lot of teachers, and I mean a lot of them, need to be tossed out on their asses, and soon.
What Christopher Rufo did to expose Critical Race Theory, Libs of TikTok is doing to expose what leftists are fighting to turn our schools into – a gender-bending science experiment where “progressives” seem to be doing and saying things about gender simply to see if they can get away with it. Horrifyingly, they have been able to, at least so far.If you’re some demented, entitled weirdo with more metal pieces in your face than in your car, there’s a good chance you have a TikTok account. The Communist Chinese spy app is heroin for narcissists with a desperate need for external validation. You’d have to be an idiot to use something China created to spy on you with, hence why so many of these “TikTok celebrities” have an IQ just south of their shoe size.
Thank God for the app anyway; if it didn’t exist, something else like it would have to. Besides, if the commies want to track our morons, they can have them.
Joe Biden: This Man Cannot Remain in Power \Will Alexander Posted: Apr 04, 2022
For every time Joe Biden shuffles to a podium to blame the nation’s problems on the pandemic, Putin, and his predecessor, there should be a Will Smith-type who walks to the podium, slaps him for his egregious insults to America’s intelligence, then takes his seat and yells: “Keep the lies to the American people OUT! OF! YOUR! @#&%! MOUTH!”
That’s tame compared to what Americans scream at their TVs every time Biden makes a speech. On April Fool’s Day, he took credit for a strong jobs report that a resilient market produced due, most likely, to eased COVID restrictions. “It means that our economy has gone from being on the mend, to being on the move,” he said.
That was three days after Bloomberg estimated that households should expect to pay an extra $5,200 a year to buy the same batch of gas and goods, due to inflation. The jobs speech came a day after his Transgender Visibility Day speech where he promised to advance transgender equality in sports, the classroom, at work, and in the military because of the onslaught of hateful anti-transgender state laws.
“Over the course of my presidency,” Biden bragged, “our recovery has now created more than 7.9 million jobs – more jobs created over the first 14 months of any presidency in any term, ever. And that’s striking.”
He continued. READ ON
DeSantis' Nuclear Option: What Would Happen If Florida Revoked Disney's Special Governing Arrangement?
BY CHRIS QUEEN APR 02, 2022
The passing of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill and Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signing of it into law have escalated into a tense war between the increasingly solid red state and The Walt Disney Corporation, which continues to double down on its heavily pro-LGBT stance.
Disney has vowed to fight for the repeal of the law despite the fact that it reflects the values of parents throughout the state — as well as many of the company’s cast members (which is what Disney calls its employees).
But, just as we’ve expected from Florida’s governor, DeSantis isn’t simply rolling over — he’s fighting back.
On Friday, my PJ Media colleague Rick Moran wrote that DeSantis and other GOP legislators in the Sunshine State have mused about repealing the legislation that gave Disney its own governmental authority over the Walt Disney Word property over 50 years ago.
I predicted that this could be a nuclear option for DeSantis last month when I wrote, “If Disney did criticize Florida too harshly, the state could play hardball and threaten to revoke the legislation that created the company’s special quasi-governmental designation, the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which allows the company to operate with less interference from the state and county governments.”
Many of you have wondered what exactly that means, but first, let me give you a little background into Disney’s special governing authority, which is called the Reedy Creek Improvement District.
I’ve written tons about Disney history here at PJ Media and in my book Neon Crosses (which you really should buy). In Neon Crosses, I explained the concept behind the creation of the Reedy Creek Improvement District.
“Before Walt died, the legal team discovered a somewhat obscure Florida law that allowed for the creation of special improvement districts with a different form of governance than a traditional municipality. Bob Foster convinced Walt that petitioning the state legislature to allow Disney to govern its own property under that law was the way to go. An improvement district would grant the company exemptions from local building codes and would allow Disney to create its own first response and telecommunications services.”
Creating the Reedy Creek Improvement District allowed Disney to develop state-of-the-art communications systems that no one else had ever tried, implement innovative environmental control measures, and build unique buildings all without local government interference.
