As you have undoubtedly noticed, the price of gasoline has risen sharply since January and heating bills are expected to jump by as much as 54% this winter. The cause is Economics 101: inadequate supply is driving up price. In fact, one of President Biden’s senior energy advisors has acknowledged this and called on non-American…
As he so often does, Instapundit Glenn Reynolds states briefly a key takeaway from the media and public handling of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial: The goal of the left is to create an environment in which its people are encouraged to be violent without consequences, while their victims are denied the right to respond.
