Biden's use of oil reserves could drive up priceDaily Caller: President Joe Biden’s Department of Energy (DOE) is emptying the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) of a crucial kind of oil that domestic refiners can easily process, which could cause oil prices to skyrocket, experts told the DCNF. American refiners prefer medium-sour crude as they can easily process it into gasoline and other fuel products, according to Bloomberg. The DOE released 4.6 million barrels of medium-sour crude oil from the SPR in late July, meaning that the reserve now has more light-sweet crude than sour — 235 million barrels to 234.9 million — which ... read more

RANDOM AUGUST 2 ELECTION THOUGHTS
The 59%-41% victory for abortion rights in Kansas -- a state Donald Trump won in 2020 by 14 points -- is remarkable. I want to believe that it's a good sign for Democrats in November. But here's the pessimists' take: Pro-choice Americans are right to cheer Kansas protecting abortion rights. But Dems may be overrating what it means for their midterm chances. Voters have backed liberal policies in referenda + GOP candidates (eg Florida raise minimum wage and vote Trump).

Humans finally figured out how to make it rain
Cloud seeding, explained. We flew up to see it with our own eyes. For decades, drought-stricken areas around the world have practiced “cloud seeding,” a process where chemical flares full of silver iodide are shot into storm clouds to encourage them to rain. But until recently, the science didn’t quite back this practice up. In large part that’s because operational cloud seeding programs don’t have the luxury of conducting controlled tests — they have an obligation to produce as much rain as possible for the people living under the clouds they seed. But there’s been a breakthro... read more

SERIOUSLY THOUGH: Critics found The Post "entertaining!"*WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 2022* *Funnymen gone wild:* In fairness to Steven Spielberg, major critics agreed: The Post, his Oscar-nominated 2017 film, was highly entertaining. In the paper which gave the film its name, Ann Hornaday described The Post as "a fleet, stirring, thoroughly entertaining movie in which Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks play [the leading roles] with just the right balance of modesty, gusto and expertly deployed star power." The film was thoroughly entertaining! In Hornaday's view, Spielberg had once again displayed "that instinctive sense of what it takes to connect ... read more

The Taliban and al Qaeda still alliesFox News: Al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahri's death in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan is raising questions about whether the country is being used as a base of operations for the terrorist group. "What unnerves me is that Al Zawahri felt comfortable enough being out in the open in the Kabul area after the Taliban takeover," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. "So much for the Taliban rejecting al Qaeda. This is proof positive that Afghanistan has once again become a safe haven for international terrorists." National security experts say Zawahri's presence within the country signals... read more

Those participating will be ex-Quebec premier Jean Charest, rural Ontario MP Scott Aitchison and Roman Baber, a former provincial legislator who Doug Ford booted from caucus over his opposition ... read more

Will Congress hold the FBI and Director Wray to account?Streiff: On Thursday, FBI Director Christopher Wray testifies on Capitol Hill as part of an FBI oversight hearing by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Wray remains a poster child for the horrible personnel choices made by President Trump, especially in his first couple of years. In the wake of the disastrous James Comey, Trump needed to appoint someone focused on cleaning up the partisan sh**hole the FBI had become. Instead, he nominated a weak, milquetoast character like Wray, who was immediately captured by the agency’s power structure. The prime movers in the Russia Hoax escape... read more

Manchin bill will raise the price of energy, manufacturing through taxationWashington Examiner: Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) "Inflation Reduction Act" may not lower inflation , but it is a much better name for the bill than what the legislation actually does: raise taxes on energy producers and manufacturers. A more accurate name for the bill would have been "The Joe Manchin Tax on Energy and Manufacturing." Manchin claims his legislation doesn’t raise taxes on energy producers or manufacturers at all. In fact, Manchin went so far as to claim, "There’s nothing on taxes at all" in the bill. "There’s not one penny in change on taxes," Manchin told reporters... read more
