Mark Levin: America is FAST becoming a 'spiritually blind' Marxists nation - TheBlaze:

The Ethanol Gasoline Tax - WSJ
The Ethanol Gasoline Tax - WSJ
- Gasoline prices hit a six-year high this week amid the Colonial Pipeline shutdown and a rebound in demand as more people hit the road. But one overlooked cause of higher prices at the pump is Congress’s ethanol mandate.
...Refiners are crashing into what’s known as the “blend wall”—i.e., the volume of ethanol that can be sold given existing cars and infrastructure.
Warranties don’t allow older cars to run on ethanol blends higher than 10% because it can corrode engines.
Ditto storage tanks and pumps at the gas station.
...Hence, RINs prices shot up again.
Corn prices have skyrocketed 125% in the past year, pushing up ethanol and RINs prices.
RINs this week were trading at $1.90 per gallon, up from 15 cents in January 2020.
Our sources estimate the ethanol mandate is adding about 30 cents a gallon to the wholesale cost of gas on average.
The federal gas tax is 18.4 cents...Read all.

Sociologist schooled after saying 'Christian' is the 'greatest ethnic dog whistle the right has ever come up with' since it means 'white' and 'people like us' - TheBlaze
Sociologist schooled after saying 'Christian' is the 'greatest ethnic dog whistle the right has ever come up with' since it means 'white' and 'people like us' - TheBlaze: "The greatest ethnic dog whistle the right has ever come up with is 'Christian,' because it means 'people like us,' it means white." The above quote is attributed to University of Oklahoma sociologist Samuel Perry, according to a recent New Yorker feature story by Eliza Griswold that explores "Christian nationalism."
In context, Perry's quote appears in a paragraph that leads with:

‘There is no accountability,’ says mother of victim
"Two of the police officers who lost their jobs over inaction during the deadliest school shooting in American history have gotten their jobs back, with back and vacation pay.
- A state investigative commission found that Stambaugh was working an off-duty shift at a nearby school when he responded to reports of shots fired at Stoneman Douglas. He got out of his truck, put on his bulletproof vest and took cover for about five minutes after hearing the shots, according to body camera footage. Stambaugh then drove to a nearby highway instead of going toward the school.

Minneapolis mayor admits that calls to 'defund the police' led to a spike in crime - TheBlaze
Minneapolis mayor admits that calls to 'defund the police' led to a spike in crime - TheBlaze:
The city council vowed last year in the wake of the death of George Floyd to get rid of the police, and Mayor Jacob Frey did little to stand in their way, despite claiming that he did not want to fully abolish the police — which famously upset protesters who confronted him on the subject.
As the movement to defund the police gained steam, crime in the city began to increase as cops left the force. After a while, the same city council that trashed cops and threatened to gut their departments realized the city needed help, and they were forced to outsource its police work.

IDF tricked Hamas into thinking they were invading and then obliterated their tunnel network | Daily Mail Online
Israel's deadly deception: IDF TRICKED Hamas into believing a ground invasion was underway... then obliterated tunnel network knowing militants would be hiding underground waiting to ambush tanks
- There was confusion when the IDF suggested troops were on the ground in Gaza, before retracting the statement and saying that forces attacked Hamas tunnels along the border but did not cross it
- Turned out to be a well-planned ploy get Hamas to send its fighters into its underground tunnel system beneath Gaza City, before bombarding the area, in the hope of eliminating large numbers of militants
- Still, fears of invasion remain with thousands of troops moving to the border and 9,000 reservists called up
- Israel stepped up its attacks on Gaza overnight with more than 1,000 bombs and shells pounding northern and eastern areas in the heaviest attacks of the conflict so far
- Meanwhile Hamas has continued firing hundreds of rockets at Israel from Gaza and was joined overnight by three rockets fired from Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon, though all of them fell short
- More street clashes took place in Israeli-Arab city of Lod, with fighting reported in Jaffa and Umm al-Fahm
- Fighting continued this morning as IDF jets struck what they called underground rocket sites and observation posts around Gaza, with Hamas suicide drones sent the other way
