A picture is worth a thousand words, right? Here are the March 9, 2022 “heat maps” from GasBuddy.com. They show Democrat-run California has the highest gas prices in our nation, even higher than Hawaii, which imports all its oil. California today has $5 gas in most parts of the state.
Since January 2021, gasoline prices in all 50 U.S. states have doubled under Biden & Co. The price of a barrel of oil on January 1, 2021 was $52.20, and this morning (March 9, 2022) it was $122.84.
The Democrat Party’s war against oil lowers the supply of oil, which increases the price. It’s the Democrat agenda, nationally and internationally, that’s doubled what you pay at the pump. Remember, on his first day of occupying the White House, Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline to satisfy environmental wacko groups.
As for California, the Democrat Party’s multi-decade control of the California State Legislature has prevented gasoline pipelines from other states, prohibited new oil drilling, required expensive gasoline blends, and imposed the nation’s highest gas tax. So Newsom & Co. are hurting you right along with Biden & Co.
And think about this — the Democrat politicians have worked so hard to keep a stable, cheap supply of gasoline out of California, today Hawaii, which imports all their oil, is cheaper than California!
Constitutional Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher of Yuba City says California imposes “taxes and mandates that add $1.27/gallon to the cost of gas.”
Now, if these high gasoline taxes and burdensome regulations were done away with, and new drilling and at least one interstate pipeline were permitted, California could have the lowest-cost gasoline in the nation. But to achieve this, you’re going to have to change a lot of faces in Sacramento.

“Gas prices are going up at a far more rapid rate than anybody’s seen in a long time. We had gas prices very low, and yet we had more energy jobs than we’ve ever had,” said Trump, speaking at a time when the average price of gas was $2.879 per gallon. “[T]hey will be going up by $1, $2, $3, if you look at that, and it’s bigger than a tax increase to the consumer,” he said.

The January 13 rulings on “Covid vaccine mandates” by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) won’t directly help Californians, but might indirectly provide some relief.
There’s no direct relief, since the high court’s 6-3 ruling only blocked the federal OSHA “mandate” of “the jab or your job,” which had threatened, nationwide, some 10 million employees of companies with 100 or more employees.
Because this ruling only told Biden & Co. what it can’t do — not what any state or local government can’t do — the unscientific, unconstitutional tyranny of Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom will continue unabated, for now, oppressing California government employees, health care workers, schoolteachers, and threatening schoolchildren too.
However, the decision against Biden & Co.’s OSHA “jab or job” mandate could indirectly provide relief for some Californians who work for large companies, and by example, mid-sized and small businesses.
Because business owners and managers can decide to “go with” SCOTUS as their higher standard (above Biden & Co., above Dr. Fauci, above the CDC). Since there is currently no “jab or job” mandate from Newsom & Co. upon private businesses, with the exception of health care workers, SCOTUS striking down Biden’s OSHA mandate might “free up” large businesses in California, or those with a California presence, to avoid becoming their own employees’ “vaccine police.” It’s time to stand for truth — no pro-science, pro-health, pro-people business will impose a “Covid vaccine mandate”!
Now, to protect conscientious Californians from Newsom & Co.’s anti-people, injurious “mandates” of “the jab or your job,” we desperately need SCOTUS to rule in favor of medical freedom, or religious freedom, or both.
Fortunately, there are several religious exemption cases streaming toward the U.S. Supreme Court. One of them, from Maine, directly petitioned the court this week with the help of our friends at Liberty Counsel.
If and when SCOTUS takes and hears one or more of these cases, and if the court majority rules states must offer religious exemptions to vaccines, or that religious exemptions to vaccines are a right of every American adult, this would supersede, defeat, and overcome every state, city, county, school district, or corporate denial of religious-right declarations of employees and contractors. Such a heroic, constitutional ruling would also run interference against “vaccine passports,” because religious exemptions would have to be permitted everywhere.
And SCOTUS would be “supreme” over California’s Democrat rulers, just like its 2020 ruling affirming the First Amendment right of religious congregations to meet in person.

Simply put, the conservative victories in Virginia mean practical hope. Hope for constitutional Californians and those in other states that liberal lies can be exposed and overcome.
Because that’s what happened in Virginia. A biological boy’s rape of a girl in a girl’s bathroom had enraged parents. And while the pro-“LGBTQIA+” Biden Administration and the union-dominated school board stood against parents, Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin stood with fathers and mothers, and both conservatives and “moderates” rewarded him on election day. This was the vital spark that turned Youngkin’s campaign into a movement, with rallies all over the state.
The wins in Virginia should inspire us all to stay involved and continue fighting for values that are right for people and right in God’s sight. It also shows how opposing anti-parent, anti-family values can win decisively when harnessed effectively and specifically connected to an understandable issue of high public concern.
Remember, Virginia’s had a Democrat governor for the last 8 years as well as a Democrat-controlled State Legislature. But now, the incoming governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general are constitutional Republicans, and the 100-member House of Delegates is getting a Republican majority too.
Yes, our culture is in a dynamic! And there’s great hope to show the detriment of liberal Democrat ideas and the benefit of constitutional, pro-family ideas.
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29:2
