Joe Biden learns a basic lesson about the Strategic Oil Reserve and that means our gas prices have no option but to go up.
Utah is getting sued by the DOJ because crazy criminals have rights.
And I have another example of how peaceful the peaceful trans-cult is.
I Wonder Why He’s Doing That?
According to the Post Millennial:
The Biden administration has canceled a plan delivered in March to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).
The Department of Energy’s Office of Petroleum Reserves announced on March 14 its solicitation for three million barrels of oil to be delivered in August and September to the Bayou Choctaw site in Louisiana. This site is one of four major SPR storage facilities in the country, according to Fox Business.
The DOE said that it would pull back from its recent solicitation for oil, coming amid increasing prices.
The SPR currently contains 363 million barrels of oil. This is a 43 percent decrease from January 2021 when Biden took office. Biden began tapping the reserves in late 2021 to combat skyrocketing fuel prices.
“Keeping the taxpayer’s interest at the forefront, we will not award for the Bayou Choctaw SPR site in August and September, and will continue to solicit available capacity as market conditions allow,” a DOE spokesperson said.
“As always, we monitor market dynamics to remain nimble and innovative in our successful replenishment approach to protect this critical national security asset.”
When the plans to refill Bayou Choctaw were announced, the DOE said it aimed to purchase oil at $79 per barrel or lower. Oil prices have increased to $85.71 as of Wednesday.
This is the problem with using the oil reserve as a way to control gas prices.
Karin Jean Pierre was asked about this. She gives the standard answer.
The Department of Energy is under the president and the president tells them what to do like they did when the oil was pulled from the oil reserve. This is a dodge of the question because the president has no plan to refill the reserve.

What Does This Tell You?
According to the Post Millennial:
The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against the Utah Department of Corrections after a biological male inmate who identifies as a woman performed a self-castration in protest over the delay in “gender-affirming” care.
The unidentified prisoner was allegedly found to be suffering from gender dysphoria by prison doctors, though a formal diagnosis was not given until nine months later. Six months later, cross-sex hormones were prescribed. The complaint also alleges that the prison failed to accommodate the inmate’s requests for “reasonable modifications” to some of its sex-based policies.
These “reasonable modifications” included: transfer to the women’s cell block, requests to purchase female undergarments, clothes, and makeup, and requests to be pat searched by only female officers. These were all denied.
According to the DOJ, “because UDOC failed to provide her equal access to health care services and reasonable modifications for her gender dysphoria to enable her to live consistently with her gender identity (female), Complainant’s distress over the incongruence between her gender identity and assigned sex worsened, leading her to perform self-surgery to remove her own testicles in May 2023.”
The DOJ argued that UDOC “discriminated against” the inmate “on the basis of her disability,” referring to the gender dysphoria.
“By not allowing me this opportunity to live my life as a woman, who I believe I am and have lived life for many years,” the inmate wrote in an Americans with Disabilities Act request, “the prison is causing me such mental stress in the form of anxiety, depression…”
More Peaceful Trans People
According to the Post Millennial:
A 47-year-old trans-idenfied biological male has pleaded guilty to one count of interstate communication with a threat to injure after repeatedly threatening to carry out a school shooting and abuse children.
Alexia Willie, born Jason Lee Willie, was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Perry County, Illinois last year after expressing a desire to commit violence and declaring that “transgenders” were “at war” with those who speak out against the push to normalize far-left gender ideology.
According to Reduxx, in August the FBI intercepted a livestream on the social media platform MeetMe in which Willie warned that an incident similar to the Conevant School massacre in Nashville, Tennessee was in the works. The agency determined that Willie had been making threats for around five months before being apprehended.
“A person in Tennessee walked into one of your schools and shot up a bunch of your Christian daughters,” Willie told viewers, per court documents obtained by Reduxx in which Willie was referred to by “she/her” pronouns. “That’s not the last of them if you don’t shut your f*cking mouth. Shut the f*ck up out here, you understand me?”
“There’s a lot of transgenders out here that are tired of being picked on and we’re going to go into the schools and we’re going to kill their f*cking children out here, and that’s the end of it,” Willie added. “We’re at war.”
Willie also claimed to be “openly a pedophile,” and threatened to sexually abuse children.
“We’re f*cking your children and killing them,” Willie told a user who spoke up against the comments made earlier in the stream. “We’re f*cking them and hurting them and killing them and you f*ggots can’t do nothing about us.”
Willie threatened to “bomb the churches” and called black Christians “trash.”
As Reduxx reports, Willie was released less than 48 hours after being arrested on $0 bond, namely because the threats did not target individual people or schools.
Huh?
According to Pink News:
Anti-trans sentiment continues to bombard the UK, US and further afield. Some of the loudest voices would have others believe that trans people are new and unnatural, that they all regret transitioning, and are destroying the pillars of society.
They claim the existence of trans people “ignores basic biology”. Some of the same people who try to deny trans rights based on “the science” also deny the fact that humans drive global climate change and spread misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine. They aren’t dealing in facts, and their anti-trans rhetoric is rooted in harmful beliefs.
We’d be here all day if we had to debunk absolutely every myth and outright lie about trans people and gender-affirming healthcare, but the research is out there. It’s being shared in courts, in political debates and in articles written by those who would uphold trans rights.
Here, PinkNews roots out the truth behind three of the most common anti-trans claims.
The myth: Being trans is a social phenomenon sweeping through younger generations
The widely discredited “trans social contagion theory” can be traced to a 2018 paper published by Lisa Littman, a former professor at Brown University who now serves as an adviser to gender-critical group Genspect.
Littman coined the term “rapid onset gender dysphoria”, which some anti-trans proponents have used to suggest trans adolescents, particularly trans boys, aren’t trans but are simply lesbians or girls with mental health issues, who declare themselves to be trans after exposure to so-called external influence.
However, a study published in the journal Pediatrics in 2022 found that the “social contagion” isn’t supported by real-world data.
By analysing data from two CDC surveys conducted in 2017 and 2019, it found a small drop in the number of young people identifying as trans. It also found that the proportion of young people assigned female at birth who have come out as trans fell slightly.
“The sex assigned at birth ratio of TGD adolescents in the United States does not appear to favour AFAB adolescents and should not be used to argue against the provision of gender-affirming medical care for TGD adolescents,” the study concluded.
What has increased in recent decades is trans visibility. It’s a sign that society is becoming more accepting as rising number of trans people feel they can live openly and receive support, including gender-affirming care.
But as LGBTQ+ people have seen time and time again, increased visibility often leads to increased attacks by those who don’t understand the community and wish to shove us back into the shadows.
The “social contagion” theory feeds into harmful claims that view stigmatised groups as being contaminated and capable of corrupting or grooming young people. It reeks of rhetoric used throughout history to attack many different marginalised groups including members of the LGBTQ+ community, people of colour and those with disabilities.
Trans people aren’t new. History shows trans people have existed in different cultures across the breadth of human existence.
Not much science here. Notice, they don’t talk much about the study.
- The study sites that trans identification went down from 2.4% to 1.9% from 2017 to 2019.
- It doesn’t say anything that the percentage was less than .02% in 2000 and has been steadily going up since 2010.
- It doesn’t mention that since the pandemic and the rise of TikTok (both occurred at the same time) it has gone up to 1 in 5 kids (that’s 20%) that identify as trans or non-binary.
- The study was self reported through a survey. No one met the kids.
- There was no discussion of geography. The study also doesn’t explain why more trans people are in blue cities and states than red cities and states. The trans population in South Dakota in 0%.
So this isn’t a scientific study. What’s next?
The myth: trans people regret transitioning
Detransitioning means stopping or reversing transition, which can include social or medical transition, or both. There are people who detransition, and there are a variety of reasons that can be behind such decisions, including transphobia, family pressure and non-affirming environments.
Notice that the option of trans doesn’t exist and gender affirming care harmed people are options.
Gender-critical voices often use stories of detransition to suggest young people shouldn’t be affirmed in their transition, or be allowed to access gender-affirming care.
But recent guidelines by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) says several studies show that there are “low rates of patient regret and high rates of patient satisfaction” with gender-affirming treatments and surgeries for trans people.
WPATH is an LGBTQ+ advocacy group. It is not a medical organization. The history of WPATH is horrific involving child abuse and a lot of their studies are based on the sexual habits of sex offenders. They are aligned with Alfred Kinsey and John Money.
If you went to one of their doctors for a sore throat, they would say you are trans.
Separately, a 2019 survey of 3,398 attendees of a gender-identity clinic in the UK found that just 16 – about 0.47 per cent – experienced transition-related regret. Of these, even fewer went on to detransition.
Additionally, a North American study found that 94 per cent of children who came out as trans continue to identify as trans five years later. Approximately 1.3 per cent of young people transitioned to another identity before returning to their trans identity while 2.5 per cent later identified as cisgender and 3.5 per cent as non-binary.
A survey is not science. It is self-reporting data. Data, by the way, that can be manipulated to show what you want to be seen.
This survey also studied people who transitioned months prior. It not a long term study. I don’t care what someone thinks three months after trans-ing. What do they think 10 years after they transition? Well, we just started doing this, so we don’t have the data.
What they don’t talk about:
- Why the suicide rate is 40% amongst trans people.
- Why 80% of people with gender dysphoria get over it and end up just gay (DSM-5).
- It doesn’t discuss the thousands of de-transitioners like Oli London and Chloe Cole.
- It doesn’t discuss the confusion and depression of trans people like that of Jazz Jennings who looks like he’ll either de-transition or commit suicide.
The myth: Trans people, particularly trans women, participating in sports hurts cis women
This is just stupid. Phallon Fox broke a woman’s skull during an MMA fight. A boy injured three girls during a girls basketball game, forcing the team to forfeit. Lia Thomas was ranked 200 in men’s swimming and was ranked number one in women’s college swimming. All the women’s power lifting records are now owned by a man.
