Last year, President Biden signed the Postal Service Reform Act which, among other things, gave the United States Postal Service (USPS) a $58 billion taxpayer and Medicare bailout. The agency got a sweet deal with this legislation, as Congress gave it another financial lifeline without reforming the financial and accounting practices that failed the USPS in the first place. In fact, this legislation only exacerbated these problems by creating an integrated service network that gives USPS the authority to bundle expenses and earnings of its package business alongside its letter mail service, which makes it impossible to know where it makes money and where it does not.

There’s no scarier word in politics than “bipartisan.” Politicians paint rosy pictures of themselves working across the aisle, but far too often, these instances have some of the most disastrous consequences for American families. Look no further than the CARES Act and the bipartisan infrastructure bill that added trillions of dollars in spending, stoking the fires of inflation.

Last month, President Biden announced that he will break his campaign promise and resume the sale of drilling leases on public lands. This announcement came as the price of gasoline remains high amid rising inflation. Clearly, the White House has seen the writing on the wall, represented by the fact that it has done away with a key provision of its anti-American green energy agenda. Mr. Biden’s been mugged by reality, but there is much to be done to claw our way back to energy independence in terms of vital infrastructure.

For many years now, there has been a spirited debate about whether climate change is science, religion or even perhaps a secret route to socialism. That question remains unanswered, but we've now discovered with certainty that climate change is a political albatross around the neck of the Democratic Party.

How much is President Joe Biden’s war on US energy costing you and all Americans?

A serious president would look to dynamic solutions to confront a power hungry realist like Vladimir Putin. But Joe Biden has so-far proven to be incapable of leveraging U.S. power abroad, and Kamala Harris is by no means up to the task either.

Once, during a meeting with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump inside Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York, we discussed energy policy. I told Trump that if we went all out to produce America’s abundant supply of oil, gas, and coal, the United States could be energy independent in four years.
