Important Takeaways:
- Biden to ban Russian oil imports over Ukraine war
- President Joe Biden has decided to ban Russian oil imports, toughening the toll on Russia’s economy in retaliation for its invasion of Ukraine, according to a person familiar with the matter.
- The move follows pleas by Ukrainian President Volodmyr Zelenskyy to U.S. and Western officials to cut off the imports, which had been a glaring omission the massive sanctions put in place on Russia over the invasion. Energy exports have kept a steady influx of cash flowing to Russia despite otherwise severe restrictions on its financial sector.
- The U.S. will be acting alone, but in close consultation with European allies, who are more dependent on Russian energy supplies. Natural gas from Russia accounts for one-third of Europe’s consumption of the fossil fuel. The U.S. does not import Russian natural gas

Important Takeaways:
- The invasion of Ukraine makes it obvious: The IDF will fight its own battles, alone
- If President Joe Biden’s speech on Wednesday evening wasn’t clear enough: Ukraine is on its own against the Russian bear. And if there’s anything Israel can learn from that, is that it also will find itself fighting alone should it ever find itself in a war against Iran.
- Yes, Biden said that he will impose strong sanctions on Russia and will provide Ukraine with humanitarian aid, yes the United States will deploy additional troops to neighboring NATO countries, but no, US troops will not fight against Russian troops for Ukraine.
- Biden sounded angry and frustrated during his speech where he said that Russia’s invasion “is a dangerous moment for all of Europe, for the freedom around the world. Putin has committed an assault on the very principles that uphold global peace.”
- But, with all due respect, Biden waved the Western white flag and lost American deterrence against Russia -as well as Iran and China- countries that only respect leaders who show true power and strength.

Important Takeaways:
- How Magical Thinking Led America To $30 Trillion In Debt
- In the Wizarding World of Washington, you can now say a multitrillion dollar federal spending bill “costs zero dollars.”
- President Biden tweeted https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/1441924106765602819
- My Build Back Better Agenda costs zero dollars.
- Instead of wasting money on tax breaks, loopholes, and tax evasion for big corporations and the wealthy, we can make a once-in-a-generation investment in working America.
- And it adds zero dollars to the national debt.
- Unfortunately, Americans are now paying a heavy price for this magical thinking. Inflation—spurred at least in part by record government spending and inaction on other issues—is running at its highest rate since 1982. The prices for meat and eggs are up 12.2% since last year. Furniture and bedding is up 17% and used cars and trucks are up 40.5%.
- Meanwhile, the Treasury Department recently reported America’s total national debt is now over $30 trillion—the highest ever. To put this in context: If you stacked $30 trillion of $100 bills you could almost reach the weather satellites orbiting the earth at over 20,000 miles above us.
