‘Three-dollar gas will be the norm by Memorial Day’: Traveling Americans will pay 30% more at the pump compared to a year ago when they emerge from COVID-19 lockdowns as fuel prices surge toward 7-year high

Americans who have been cooped up at home over the past year during the COVID-19 pandemic will likely pay $3 a gallon for gasoline when they emerge from lockdowns this summer and resume traveling, economists say.

Motorists in the United States have not paid an average of $3 per gallon since 2014.

As of Tuesday, drivers in California, Hawaii, Washington State, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Alaska, Arizona, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia were paying an average of more than $3 per gallon.

California motorists are paying an eye-popping $3.88 per gallon – the highest rate in the country, according to the American Automobile Association.

United States calls on China to ‘immediately release’ two detained Canadians

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken sent out a message on Tuesday, just one day after Michael Kovrig’s trial in China ended without a verdict. Michael Spavor’s trial, which took place on Friday, had the same outcome — though both have been promised a decision from the Chinese judicial system at a later date.

The Left’s Latest Attempt to Make Puerto Rico the 51st State

Much of the increased momentum for Puerto Rico statehood coincides with the left’s control of both houses of Congress and the White House. And to demonstrate that they are super serious this time, many prominent Democrats, and one Republican, have endorsed the Puerto Rico Self-Determination Act of 2021.

Army pulls the pin on ‘gender neutral’ combat fitness test; creates separate tiers for men, women

The latest version of the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) will be gender-neutral in how performance is measured but will establish separate ranked tier systems for men and women, military officials said Monday as they rolled out the latest tweak to the Army‘s physical performance standards.

Army leaders said that both male and female soldiers will be measured on the same numerical scale of 360 to 600, with a 360 score being the minimum threshold. In other words, a man and woman who run a mile in the same amount of time will have their performance measured equally on that point scale, and they will receive the same score.

Court could reimpose Boston Marathon bomber’s death sentence

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court said Monday it will consider reinstating the death sentence for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, presenting President Joe Biden with an early test of his opposition to capital punishment.

The justices agreed to hear an appeal filed by the Trump administration, which carried out executions of 13 federal inmates in its final six months in office, including three in the last week of President Donald Trump’s term.

It’s No Surprise China Employs The Anti-American Propaganda Of Systemic Racism

The Chinese side knows that wielding the same self-loathing ideas the ruling class teaches in American universities will hurt Americans most.

It’s a cliché to claim every setback as the official end of unipolarity, but if there were ever to be a date for historians to mark the televised humiliation and official end of American hegemony, it would be the very public verbal slapping of U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan by the Chinese ambassador on U.S. soil.

Joe Biden’s dire opening chapter on the world stage

A pattern of contempt for America and its leaders seems to be taking hold

“…Yang, speaking through a translator, shot back: ‘You can’t blame this problem on somebody else.’ Blinken went on to say that now, under Joe Biden, the United States was ‘back’ (where did it go, Tony?) and was ‘reengaging’ with its allies on the world stage. Here’s where that short imperative I mentioned came in. The United States, said Yang, in one of the most dismissive diplomatic rejoinders I have ever heard, does not have the ‘qualifications’ to address China ‘from a position of strength’. F, my dear Blinken, you.”

Tony Blinken And America Get Pantsed By Communist Chinese Official At Alaska Summit

Top Biden officials such as Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan joined Chinese diplomats in Anchorage on Thursday to discuss where the communist regime stands on key issues and how the Biden administration plans to address them.

What started as Blinken warning China that the United States would not shy away from addressing issues such as in “Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Taiwan, cyber attacks on the United States, economic coercion of our allies,” hinting at America’s recent sanctions on Beijing, however, turned into a tense “spat” that left some Chinese Communist Party propaganda and agenda-setting unchecked.

Day’s top headline: JIHAD-IT COMING! ISIS bride who urged jihadis to attack US says morality police punished her for wearing Nike trainers

AN ISIS bride who urged fanatics to “spill American blood” has told how the terror group’s brutal morality police punished her for wearing Nike trainers.
