Democrats scramble to distract from the economy

In the final days of the most important midterm election in American history, the Democrats, the party with absolute power, are frantically trying to distract voters from focusing on their most important priority.

Especially in Louisiana! Two cheers for the French

If Biden was actually concerned about high oil prices, he would prioritize more oil drilling

President Joe Biden is still reeling from the decision earlier this month by OPEC to curtail global oil production as the world prepares for another recession after Covid, induced by inflation levels not seen since the 1970s and 1980s as the post-Covid supply crunch and the war in Ukraine continue.
