War on fuels destroys Americans, empowers CCP

Oil is king when it comes to energy policy, but coal and natural gas are just as important. In the case of all three fossil fuels, Western governments have engaged in an all-out war on exploration, production, and generation, banned Russia’s exports of those products, and then gave a monopoly to China, inducing the worst possible outcome for the American consumer and our national security. Despite the two-decade war on coal by the climate Nazis, coal is still the largest source of electricity around the globe and is the second-largest source of energy in general. In the U.S., coal was once king, composing roughly half of our ele …

Dem groups still partnering Lincoln Project

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Lincoln Project is linked to predatory, abusive behavior and regularly criticized over eyebrow-raising finances but Democratic organizations continue to partner with the scandal-plagued group. The left-wing super PAC announced creation of a collaboration called “The Union” earlier this week, indicating it would launch a collaborative effort of “pro-democracy organizations” to unite in the “battle against autocracy, nationalism, and extremism.” A YEAR AFTER LINCOLN PROJECT CO-FOUNDER’S PREDATIONS CAME TO LIGHT, ANTI-TRUMP GROUP SEES WANING INFLUENCEThe Lincoln Project’s latest collaboration already has over 30 liberal organizations tied to it and has signed up over 47,000 volunteers referred to as “members.” This comes despite the group’s murky history that includes everything from admitting its co-founder John Weaver is “a predator, a liar, and an abuser” to being called out over shady financial practices. Its embarrassing stunt in last year’s Virginia governor’s race, when it attempted to smear Glenn Youngkin supporters by having members pose as tiki-torch-wielding racists by his campaign bus, further sullied its reputation.

Dems Suddenly Want More Border Security

As encounters at the southern border continue to increase, and midterm elections approach, Democrats seem to be shifting their messaging on border security. The Daily Wire’s Ben Johnson joined Georgia Howe and John Bickley for Thursday’s episode of “Morning Wire” to explain Democrats’ changing strategy on the border.Johnson highlighted President Joe Biden’s “surprising” mention of border security during his “State of the Union” address on March 1. He also mentioned that “the message has filtered down through the party ranks. The newspaper Roll Call, which covers Capitol Hill, ran a story on Tuesday, titled ‘Democrats Emphasize Border Security as Midterms Loom.’”Democratic House members like Abigail Spanberger (VA) and Elissa Slotkin (MI) are supporting tighter border security “through technology or by hiring more Border Patrol agents,” Johnson said.Border encounters in February were up 63% from the same month last year as nearly 165,000 illegal immigrants flooded into the U.S. last month. “Our southern border is still totally uncontrolled,” John …

China Secretly Buying Up Russian Gas?

Is China Bailing Out Russia with Unexpected Energy Purchases? – In the wake of energy sanctions levied against Russia by the United States, and after Russian President Vladimir Putin requested military assistance from China in Ukraine, reports reveal how the Chinese Communist Party may be indirectly aiding Russia through unexpected spot purchases of liquefied natural gas (LNG).The sale of oil and gas is vital to the Russian economy, making up around half of the Kremlin’s budget. Sanctions against Russian oil and natural gas will undoubtedly hurt Russia but are also expected to hurt the European Union and the United States, too. Some 25% of Europe’s oil is imported from Russia, as well as 40% of the continent’s natural gas.Before the United States announced sanctions on Russian energy, the idea was very much not on the cards. The Biden administration itself warned that energy sanctions on Russia may hurt the …

Overflowing Migrant Centers in Texas

A source within the Department of Homeland Security warns that nearly every federally-operated migrant detention facility faces overcrowding issues. More than 14,000 are currently detained, yet less than 5,000 are fully processed into DHS accounting systems.
The source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, explains that more than 6,600 migrants were apprehended on Monday alone. The figure does not include what the source calls “ghost aliens,” which are unprocessed migrants kept in outdoor settings.
The source says the situation is untenable but believes there will be no relief for the agents — most of whom are removed from routine field patrols. They explained that it is common to see one agent guarding a soft-sided cell with more than 400 migrants – an unacceptable ratio in any conventional state or federal prison.

War in Ukraine Could end Russian Tank Superiority

Russia’s New Problem – Lack of Spare Parts for its Tanks: There have been complaints from some U.S. lawmakers that the sanctions imposed on Russia would only cripple that nation’s economy and impact civilians, yet would leave the Russian military largely untouched. However, there are now reports circulating that the sanctions could be hurting Moscow’s military capabilities as well.At issue are the so-called “dual-use goods,” which have been banned for export to Russia as they can be employed for both civilian and military applications.The result is that Moscow could be running low on spare parts for its fleet of tanks. Russian defense companies that manufacture armored vehicles and trucks are also impacted as they typically reply on western-made components, Defence-Blog reported.
Shuttering the Tank Lines
The shortage of tank parts could be a significant problem for the Kremlin, and there are reports that Russia’s only tank manufacturer, Uralvagonzavod, has been forced to halt production. That claim was initially made by a report from the Armed Forces of Ukraine but has not been independently verified.
However, the Belarusian media outlet NEXTA tweeted on Monday, “#Russia’s only tank manufacturer, Uralvagonzavod, has stopped its production. The main reason for this is a lack of component parts.”
The Russian defense firm, which is the largest main battle tank (MB …

CONVICTED FOR PRAYING

WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Tuesday convicted an elected official from New Mexico of illegally entering restricted US Capitol grounds but acquitted him of engaging in disorderly conduct during the riot that disrupted Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s presidential election victory.

US District Judge Trevor McFadden heard one day of testimony without a jury on Monday before handing down a verdict in the misdemeanor case against Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin, a 48-year-old former rodeo rider who helped found a group called Cowboys for Trump.

McFadden, an appointee of President Donald Trump, said there was ample evidence that Griffin knew he was in a restricted area and didn’t leave. Griffin crossed over three walls, needing help from others or a ladder to get over them, the judge noted.

“All of this would suggest to a normal person that perhaps you should not be entering the area,” McFadden said from the bench.

But the judge said prosecutors didn’t meet their burden to prove that Griffin engaged in disorderly conduct

Gingrich — Defeat Putin in Ukraine

If President Biden has the courage to do what is needed, Putin will be defeated in Ukraine. That is the goal President Biden should take to Brussels this week.

by Newt Gingrich

As President Joe Biden prepares to go to Europe, we must recognize that, unless things change, there are likely to be two outcomes to the Russian war on Ukraine – and both are bad for America and the rule of law.
First, the terror campaign of destroying cities and killing women and children is having a devastating effect. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, out of compassion for his people, is talking more and more about a negotiated settlement. A negotiated settlement will clearly give Vladimir Putin most of what he wants. It will be a Russian victory – an expensive Russian victory, but a Russian vict …
