1) Chart of the Day – Time for a Fill-Up?
Given the recent events in the Middle East, how dangerous is this Biden energy policy?

The chart speaks for itself:

And it's also worth remembering that Chuck Schumer blocked Trump's request to buy 77 million barrels in March 2020, when lockdowns had pushed the spot price close to zero:

2) Add Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear to the Long, Long List of School Choice Hypocrites
The Republican legislature is making another push for school choice, while the Democratic governor (whose own kids are in private school) is going all out to stop it. We just saw it in North Carolina – where the governor lost and the kids won.

It's the same scenario in Kentucky, but with a bigger challenge: because of a liberal state supreme court decision that overturned the state's landmark 2021 school choice law (enacted over Beshear's veto), the Kentucky fight will take the form of a constitutional amendment on the ballot next year – possibly the same day as next year's presidential election.

"I would absolutely vote against a voucher or school choice program, and if it comes to a vote, I would work hard on mobilizing" voters to do the same, Beshear said yesterday.

While the school choice fight sets up for 2024, Beshear himself faces the voters in just a few weeks. His opponent, Republican state Attorney General Daniel Cameron, supports school choice.

3) Shouldn’t Someone Declare a National Emergency?
Speaking of our schools, has Andy Beshear seen this headline from Axios yesterday?

[link removed]
Our kids’ scores were the lowest in 30 years. We’re going backward, folks.

[link removed]
The school blob’s pitiful response to this abject failure to teach is to call for more money. We’ve tried that for 40 years. Per student spending in public schools AFTER adjusting for inflation are up more than 50% since 1990.

Almost laughably, the teachers' unions argue that school vouchers would hurt public schools. How could they possibly perform worse?

4) California Is Now the Third State to Mandate Scaring Our Kids to Death
Governor Gavin Newsom has just signed into law a mandated climate change curriculum in all of California’s public schools, joining Connecticut and New Jersey.

All three states are adopting “Next Generation Science Standards”, which is billed as a new way of teaching science.

“There is this push towards anti-intellectualism, anti-science … anti-reason, and I didn’t want local boards of education to have the power to overturn the curriculum and say, ‘climate change is too political,’” Connecticut state Rep. Christine Palm, the vice chair of the environment committee, says.

She claims “vigilante groups of parents (are) coming in and saying… they don’t want kids learning about these subjects because it’s too threatening to their delusional way of life.” Remember a long time ago when the left wanted MORE parental involvement in schools?

Under this new curriculum, students will be told rising global temperatures will cause flooding and coastal erosion. Hurricanes, floods, droughts, and heat waves, can disrupt food systems and ways of living. Climate change will be linked to such health risks as respiratory disease and heat stroke. This isn’t science; it’s ideology. These are the same fanatics who told us thirty years ago that the world was overpopulated and everyone had to stop having kids – right now.

Reading comprehension will relate to climate change, math word problems will touch on climate change, and climate change will be incorporated into science lessons with experiments and field trips.

This borders on child abuse. Already, a 2022 Blue Shield of California survey found that 80% of California youths between ages 14 and 24 already claim to experience “climate distress” — a range of emotions that include grief, anger, anxiety, and hopelessness.

5) Why Seniors Should Hate Bidenomics
CTUP co-founder Steve Forbes lays into the drug price control provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act:

[link removed]
Only liberals would say the IRA – which raids some $280 billion in projected Medicare drug savings to fund the likes of costly new electric vehicles, solar panels, and expanded insurer subsidies – somehow protects Medicare...

So, in typical fashion, liberals are now seeking to double the number of drugs subject to government price "negotiation" in Medicare and expand their failures into the private insurance market. Doing so could also double the number of new life-saving medicines that don’t come to market, impacting not just seniors but also millions of other chronic and rare disease sufferers who hold out hope for the next breakthrough.

Few of these patients and their families will see much in the way of savings or take solace or benefit from the added government and corporate revenues that would result by expanding this disastrous law.

But hey, isn’t Bidenomics great?
