1) Fill Er Up - If You Can Afford It
Biden keeps saying he’s lowered gas prices. He’s right that they’ve fallen from the peak of above $5 a gallon in his financially disastrous first 18 months in office. But they just rose this week to the still high price of $3.69 a gallon – which compares to $2.39 a gallon when Trump left office. So the average driver is paying roughly a $20 Biden Tax per fill-up.

And Joe it isn’t just millionaires who are paying that tax.

2) International Climate Change Deals Only Make the Poor Poorer
Congrats to South Africa’s electricity minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa for his courage in breaking ranks with his own government (and almost all the intellectual elites from around the world) on climate change craziness. He stated that the new climate change agreement with wealthy countries will be a disaster for his country – causing power blackouts and energy shortages. He denounced Western attempts to turn South Africa into a “guinea pig” for the worldwide Green New Deal.

Minister Ramokgopa says the $8.5 billion agreement to limit South Africa’s fossil fuel use will force him to close needed coal-fired power plants and try to convert them to uncertain renewable energy. He added that the recent shutdown of the Komati nuclear plant was a mistake: “We closed a power station which was the best-performing power station at the time that we closed it, and because someone gave us money and said decarbonize, we are getting 217 megawatts of alternative energy, and we removed 1,000 megawatts.”

Climate change fanatics in Europe and in the Biden administration are shamelessly bribing governments in poor nations to endanger their energy sectors, impoverish their own people, and actually discourage the economic growth they so desperately need.

This is climate “justice”?

3) U.S. Per Capita CO2 Emissions Lower Than 100 Years Ago
Here’s our amazing chart of the day from Charles C. Mann.

Our per capita person emissions are lower today than at any time in the last 60 years and lower than during World War 1 – when the economy was less than one-tenth as large as it is today. Few, if any, developed countries can claim that productivity achievement. Yet John Kerry says we are the global villain that has to bear all the costs of cleaning up and slowing our economy to pay for our sins.

This brings new meaning to the term “blame America First.”

4) What’s Behind The Hunter Biden Plea Deal Reversal
This is the best explanation we've seen of what happened in federal court yesterday in Delaware, where the president's son's defense team said "no deal" if he wasn't granted immunity against charges for allegedly acting as an unregistered agent of the Chinese government. The Biden DOJ had apparently agreed but was too embarrassed to admit it in open court.

5) Kamala Harris’s Big Lie About Florida’s Slavery Curriculum
Last week Kamala Harris made this scurrilous accusation about the history school curriculum in Florida: “Middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery.”

It’s gone viral and Democrats around the country are now regularly reciting the line that Florida is downplaying slavery.

Charles Cook of National Review has done the best job refuting it. There is one line in the curriculum that says “Examine how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.” This is certainly an inartful and even insulting way to describe something that is truthful.

However, this is ONE line from a list of 191 items dealing with the evils of slavery in the Florida Handbook. Here is just a small sample, and let us know if you think these hint at racism or apologize for slavery:
* Instruction includes what life was like for the earliest slaves and the emancipated in North America.
* Examine the Underground Railroad and how former slaves partnered with other free people and groups in assisting those escaping from slavery.
* Examine key figures and events in abolitionist movements.
* Instruction will include the Emancipation Proclamation, 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States.
* Examine the roles and contributions of significant African Americans during westward expansion (e.g., Benjamin “Pap” Singleton, James Beckwourth, Buffalo Soldiers, York [American explorer]).
* Examine the experiences and contributions of African Americans in early Florida.
* Instruction includes African American communities (e.g., Fort Mose, Angola Community, Black Seminoles, Fort Gadsden, Lincolnville, Eatonville).
* Describe the history and evolution of slave codes.
* Instruction includes judicial and legislative actions concerning slavery.
* Analyze slave revolts that happened in early colonial America and how political leaders reacted (e.g., 1712 revolt in New York City, Stono Rebellion [1739]).
* Evaluate the Abolitionist Movement and its leaders and how they contributed in different ways to eliminate slavery.

The list goes on and on and you can judge for yourself whether this sounds like a curriculum written by slavery apologists.

William Allen, who is black, is the former chairman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, and is a member of the working group that developed Florida’s curriculum. He says Harris used “a categorically false" assessment of the program.

"It was never said that slavery was beneficial to Africans," he told ABC News in an interview. “Africans proved resourceful, resilient and adaptive and were able to develop skills and aptitudes which served to their benefit, both while enslaved and after enslavement….My great-grandfather is someone who came from the islands and who was enslaved here and whose own resourcefulness, resilience, and adaptiveness was certainly instrumental in producing for his family, his descendants, the ability to prosper here in this country….People find ways to make pathways for themselves even in the presence of oppression."

As for Harris, Allen encouraged her to read first and criticize later: “In my response to the vice president, I think every intellect can understand the language written there if people only take the time to read it," he said. "It’s only those who don’t take the time to read it who will misstate it."

6) Take %&#$! Out of School Textbooks and Libraries
Ron DeSantis at the ALEC 50-Year Anniversary Conference yesterday:

“Adult material shouldn't be in a fourth-grade classroom. You want to look at adult material, go watch Hunter Biden's laptop for all I care – but don't do it to our kids."
