I received this email that I think is worth sharing here. In fact, I encourage you all to read it. It's from Campaign for working families.
Gary Bauer hits a home run with this article explaining how badly Biden has screwed up our energy situation and keeps on bungling away.

Children At Risk
As many of you know, Dr. James Dobson and I co-wrote "Children At Risk, Winning the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of Your Children" more than 30 years ago. One of the dangers we warned about in the book was the public policy goals of the radical gay rights movement.
Of course, conservatives have been mocked over the years for suggesting there was a "gay agenda" aimed at children. "That's a bunch of homophobic fearmongering," we were told.
But from
kids cartoons to drag queen story hour
in the public schools, it's undeniable now. There is
a gay agenda aimed at kids, and the left isn't even trying to hide it anymore.
What ever happened to reading, writing and arithmetic? That's what schools should be for. But instead of teaching our children how to be productive citizens, the government-run schools have become indoctrination centers for left-wing activism.
It was bad enough when Dr. Dobson and I wrote "Children At Risk," and it's only gotten worse since then.
If Marxist critical race theory and radical environmentalism weren't bad enough, now cultural extremists are demanding that children as young as kindergarten be exposed to radical sexual theories and concepts like "gender fluidity," and who knows what else.
Children are being "transitioned" in the public schools without their parent's knowledge. (
Here,
here and
here.)
Thankfully, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Sunshine State legislators are fighting back to protect our kids. The state recently passed legislation the left claims is a "Don't Say Gay" law. I'm sure you've probably heard about it.
Unbelievably, the White House took time out of its day yesterday -- in the middle of a major foreign policy crisis -- to condemn Gov. DeSantis over this law. Hollywood celebrities and "woke" corporations are expressing their outrage, too.
Exactly what is so terrible about the law? Well, let's start with the name. It's not called, "The Don't Say Gay Law." The law is correctly known as the
Parental Rights In Education Act, and it does not ban the word "gay."
It does, however, ban teachers and school officials from pushing radical gender insanity on kids in kindergarten through third grade.
That some leftist bureaucrats think they have a right to expose your children to such offensive material and to indoctrinate your young kids in gender confusion is outrageous!
That the White House, the left and the media are lying to you about this obscene agenda is equally outrageous!
So, kudos to
Gov. DeSantis and to the Florida legislature. Don't back down!
A Clean Conscience?
Comedian
Stephen Colbert really stepped in it the other night. He told his audience that they should be willing to pay extra for gas in order have "a clear conscience." Colbert added that he would be willing to pay $15 a gallon . . . because he drives a fully electric Tesla.
Today's new
record high of $4.25 a gallon wouldn't hurt Mr. Colbert even if he didn't drive a Tesla. He's a multi-millionaire.
But these record gas prices are crushing working-class people, and we won't see nightly images of American mothers and fathers crying because they can't pay their bills.
It's beyond galling to see
leftist millionaires bragging about how much they stand with the poor people of Ukraine, while they couldn't care less about what's happening to struggling American families – you know, the "forgotten Americans" who Donald Trump talked so much about.
Biden v. Trump
Donald Trump brought a commonsense approach to foreign policy. As a result, his foreign policy was coherent. "America First" made sense, and we didn't have a prolonged foreign policy crisis during his administration.
In fact, it was the first time in a long time that an American president
DIDN'T start a war or initiate a new significant overseas military engagement.
But Joe Biden, who is supposed to be a foreign policy genius, has been bumbling from one foreign policy crisis to another like Mr. Magoo!
There's a reason that former Secretary of Defense
Robert Gates said, "Biden has been wrong about every major foreign policy issue for the past 40 years."
There's a reason
Barack Obama said, "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to [mess] things up."
Here's the latest example.
There are multiple media reports that the Saudis and other Arab leaders
will not return Biden's phone calls. That speaks volumes about Biden's weakness and how the rest of the world perceives him.
But why are they being so difficult now?
Well, one of the first things Joe Biden did when he took office was to
cut off support for the Saudis in their fight against Yemeni terrorists called the Houthis. He not only cut off the Saudis, he also
lifted sanctions on the Houthis.
The Houthis are heavily backed by Iran. They are another Iranian terror proxy just like Hamas and Hezbollah.
So, Joe Biden came into office and outraged the Saudis. Just a few months ago, he bragged to Anderson Cooper that he
wouldn't take THEIR calls. (He also told Cooper that gas prices would start coming down this year. Wrong again.) But that's not all.
He launched a major effort to get us back into the Iranian nuclear deal, which will end sanctions on Iran, Saudi Arabia's major enemy. The Iranians hate the Saudis almost as much as they hate Israel.
So, Biden first attacked the American energy industry, then he stuck his finger in the eye of the Saudis. Now we're in a major foreign policy crisis where energy is a major issue, and the Saudis won't return Biden's phone calls.
He can't take regulations off our energy industry or the left will go nuts. So, he's begging
Venezuela and Iran to bail him out.
Can anyone point out the "foreign policy genius" in any of this?
For all the left's fretting about how Donald Trump was alienating our allies, Joe Biden's arrogance and idiocy has put the United States in a terrible position -- just as we may be on the brink of another world war.
And don't forget that under Biden's leadership, our NATO ally France
recalled its ambassador from the United States for the first time in history!
A Hint Of Deal
Yesterday, a French newspaper reported that Russian government sources said the war could end quickly if Ukraine would vow to remain neutral. A source close to Ukrainian President Zelensky said they might not join NATO after all. When the news hit here, it caused an immediate rally in the stock market.
That unconfirmed report is the basic framework for a way out of this crisis. Indeed, Zelensky himself told
ABC News this week that he has
"cooled" on NATO.
Speaking of Zelensky, he got a rousing reception from the British lawmakers yesterday after he delivered an address to the House of Commons that paraphrased
Winston Churchill.
Given Zelensky's "celebrity status" on social media, it made me wonder how many young Americans were googling "Churchill" yesterday. He may have done more in one day to inspire interest in Winston Churchill than any public school in America has done in the past year!
