SCALISE: Joe Biden Should Not Be Sending Oil to China
“The Biden administration sold roughly one million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese state-controlled gas giant that continues to purchase Russian oil, a move the Energy Department said would ‘support American consumers’ and combat ‘Putin’s price hike,'” the Beacon’s Collin Anderson reported. “Biden’s Energy Department in April announced the sale of 950,000 Strategic Petroleum Reserve barrels to Unipec, the trading arm of the China Petrochemical Corporation. That company, which is commonly known as Sinopec, is wholly owned by the Chinese government.”
Sinopec is also tied to Hunter Biden, whose private equity firm, BHR Partners, bought a $1.7 billion stake in the company seven years ago.

LOGA Responds to SCOTUS Ruling on EPA's climate powers
BATON ROUGE, LA (June 30, 2022) - Today, The United States Supreme Court ruled that the Clean Power Plan implemented under President Obama that sought to administratively determine power sector emission levels exceeded executive authority under the Clean Air Act.
In response, LOGA President Mike Moncla issued the following statement:
“Today’s decision by the Supreme Court is a step in the right direction for our great nation. This decision takes governmental overreach from appointed bureaucrats and puts it back into the hands of legislators.
The EPA’s actions and regulations have been in lockstep with the left wing’s green agenda. These types of actions cost Americans at the pump, as they continue to tighten the noose on producers and refiners, making it harder to drill for oil and gas, and more expensive to refine it. We applaud this Supreme Court decision and look forward to more balanced decisions toward our industry in the future.”
Landry: Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood ‘wrongly decided’
In its opinion for Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the majority of Supreme Court Justices agreed with Attorney General Jeff Landry – declaring that Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood were wrongly decided. In response, Attorney General Landry issued the following statement:
“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice in it and be glad. Today, along with millions across Louisiana and America, I rejoice with my departed Mom and the unborn children with her in Heaven!

LFF: BREAKING: SCOTUS Terminates Roe v. Wade!
June 24, 2022
Today is the day that pro-lifers have anticipated for 50 years and I have worked for my entire adult life! Finally, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has restored justice and overturned the egregious decision of Roe v. Wade with its Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision.
Held: The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.
ALITO, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which THOMAS, GORSUCH, KAVANAUGH, and BARRETT, JJ., joined. THOMAS, J., and KAVANAUGH, J., filed concurring opinions. ROBERTS, C. J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment. BREYER, SOTOMAYOR, and KAGAN, JJ., filed a dissenting opinion.
The court has rejected the erroneous narrative that a “right” to abortion exists in the U.S. Constitution, meaning individual states are at liberty to establish jurisdiction and limits over abortion. LFF’s efforts to protect the unborn are no longer hindered by a fraudulent and misguided Supreme Court ruling which invented a non-existent “right.”
This is a monumental victory for LFF’s “Respect Life Ethic” and warrants celebration. We should praise God for answered prayer and the termination of the legal nightmare that was Roe.
The legal trigger mechanism is set to take effect – in Louisiana, abortion is banned! In twenty-six states, robust protections for the unborn are in effect.
While this is a major victory, LFF’s work is far from complete. The court has done its job, but it cannot do ours. We are simply entering a new phase of the struggle for life. The “culture of death” that Roe fostered needs to be systematically deconstructed.
Abortion now must be made unthinkable. Only through compassionate outreach, intentional education, and principled advocacy will hearts and minds be transformed so that life may be protected at every stage of development.
Now we must exercise extraordinary compassion toward every expecting mother in unplanned and difficult circumstances. Churches and their members must offer help and hope to abortion-vulnerable women. We must fortify pregnancy care centers by adopting them as a charitable cause, direct assistance to moms in need, and walk with those that are in need.
LFF will speak the truth in love about the unborn and create a culture of deep care for all life in Louisiana and beyond. Debates surrounding this decision will become more intense, and we need to be prepared to defend the sanctity of life at all times.
Because of this decision, some will resort to acts of violence, as they have pledged to do. Proponents of the respect life ethic will face challenges like never before. Stand firm in the truth and remember, the incoming flack is because we are directly over an imperative target.
Please also keep the safety of Supreme Court justices, Louisiana and America in your prayers.
In His Service,
Gene Mills
President

Energy Trades Open Letter to President Biden
Biden looks everywhere to lower gas prices — except boosting oil production
"The administration pretends as though no one's paying attention to the fact that they've shut down pipelines, that they've stopped leasing, that they've made it harder to produce wherever they could," Dan Kish, a senior fellow at the Institute for Energy Research, told Fox News in an interview.
"Somehow, he pretends to be surprised that price of gasoline is going up and people are hurting at the pump," he added.

Biden political gamble on Saudi trip unlikely to drive down gas prices
President Biden is using key political capital on a risky gamble – that meeting with condemned Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will convince the Kingdom to stabilize global oil markets and ease prices for Americans at the gas pump.
But experts say it’s not guaranteed that the trip will produce lower gasoline prices and the political cost may be far greater for the president.

States Shouldn’t Repeat Maine’s Drug Importation Mistake
When children, out of natural curiosity, touch a hot stove burner, they learn very quickly never to do that again. As I see several states contemplating prescription drug importation plans and having conversations with the Food and Drug Administration about how they can arrange wholesale drug imports from Canada, I find myself wishing that these state officials had a child’s capacity for self-protection and a determination to prevent themselves — and, more important, their citizens — from getting repeatedly burned.
