The Biden Administration Finally Admits Its Mistake in Canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

At long last, the Biden administration is admitting what experts have always known: reckless energy policies have disastrous consequences. This time, the Department of Energy quietly released a report highlighting the positive economic benefits of developing the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada, an energy project canceled by President Biden in the hours following his inauguration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the DOE\u2019s report is a proverbial day late and a dollar short. The cancelation of the Keystone XL pipeline has already cost the United States thousands of jobs and billions in economic growth while families suffer under the weight of record high energy prices. It\u2019s time for lawmakers to make American energy independence a top priority.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Released without a formal announcement, the DOE\u2019s report points out that the pipeline would have created between 16,149 and 59,000 jobs and would have had an economic benefit of between $3.4 and 9.6 billion. That\u2019s no small impact. Yet with one stroke of his pen, Biden slashed the project and instead focused his efforts on costly \u201cgreen energy\u201d goals. As a result of his executive action, 11,000 pipeline workers were promptly laid off and told to \u201cgo to work to make solar panels\u201d instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Biden\u2019s green energy efforts are bound to backfire sooner rather than later. That\u2019s because today, more than 70 percent of the energy produced and consumed in America comes from oil, gas and coal. That\u2019s not likely to substantially change anytime soon. In fact, the International Energy Agency predicts that oil\u2019s share of energy production in the United States will only fall 8 percent in the next two decades, from 31 to 23 percent. And that\u2019s assuming a sustained commitment to green energy policies. The forecast spells bad news for the Biden White House. At his political peril, Biden ignores the lessons of Presidents Jimmy Carter and George H. W. Bush, who both lost elections due to spiked oil prices and accompanying recessions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Oh, I\u2019m beginning to suspect, strongly, that Old Joe is going to die of Suddenly\u2122 well before the next sham \u201celection\u201d season rolls around. But Joe\u2019s Folly isn\u2019t the only mea culpa<\/em> to be found out there.<\/p>\n

Pro-Vaxx Dilbert Creator Scott Adams Admits Profusely \u201cThe Anti-Vaxxers Win\u201d<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Mark Twain is often misattributed as saying, \u201cIt\u2019s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.\u201d The sentiment is definitely Twainesque, but he never said it. Nevertheless, it\u2019s still true and demonstrable time and again in our post-truth society.<\/p>\n

As more \u201cnormies\u201d have started waking up to the reality that the Covid-19 \u201cvaccines\u201d are ineffective and dangerous, a lot are finding new ways of defending their decisions to get jabbed rather than admitting it was a mistake. Conservative comic Scott Adams, who is most famous for creating the Dilbert comics, is not one of those people. He\u2019s now admitting that \u201canti-vaxxers won\u201d in regards to their decision.<\/p>\n

In fact, he admitted it over and over again.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of my fancy analytics got me to a bad place,\u201d he said. \u201cAll of your heuristics \u2014 \u2018don\u2019t trust these guys\u2019 is obvious \u2014 totally worked.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Blindly trusting the US government and its horde of bought and paid-for\u00a0faux<\/em> \u201cexperts\u201d never does work out too well, not for anybody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
