Assessment: Oregon Senators Merkley and Widen welcome sanctions and higher gasoline prices because it will “hasten moves toward more renewable energy”. Wyden notes the “urgent need to reduce our reliance on foreign oil and gas imports from countries ruled by tyrants like Vladimir Putin” while ignoring the fact that America was 100% energy sufficient before Biden took office. ⁃ TN Editor
U.S. President Joe Biden is banning Russian oil imports in an effort to ratchet up sanctions after the invasion of Ukraine.
The move aims to hit Russia’s economy and further isolate President Vladimir Putin. But it will also put even more upward pressure on crude oil and domestic gasoline prices.

“We’re banning all imports of Russian oil and gas and energy,” Biden said at a White House announcement on March 8. “That means Russian oil will no longer be acceptable at U.S. ports, and the American people will deal another powerful blow to Putin’s war machine.”
Later in Texas, Biden acknowledged the energy sanctions will drive up high gas prices. “They’re going to go up,” Biden said when asked about the oil restrictions. “Can’t do much right now, Russia is responsible,” Biden continued when asked what he could do about it.
Crude oil is approaching $130 per barrel. It was in the $60 range a year ago. Gasoline prices in Oregon are averaging $4.59 per gallon — a record high, according to AAA. Fuel prices were just over $3 per gallon a year ago in Oregon.
Biden’s move garnered political support from both sides of the aisle despite its expected inflationary impacts.

President Joe Biden plans to sign an executive order on Wednesday to study the concept of a “digital dollar” currency to compete with Bitcoin.
A digital dollar would be easier for the federal government of the United States to control than cash but make it more susceptible to inflation and government controls than open-source currencies like Bitcoin.
The primacy of the dollar — the U.S. dollar — it’s underpinned by fundamental advantages that the United States has held for a long time and continues to hold: credible and longstanding commitments to transparency, our rule of law, the contractual obligations and rights that everyone enjoys, the deepest and most liquid financial markets in the world, sound economic governance, and the full independence of our Federal Reserve system.

With everyone’s attention on Ukraine, this seems the opportune time to come to an agreement with the mad mullahs in Iran so we can pretend they won’t build nuclear weapons for a while.
Biden and the U.S. negotiators surely have no illusions about Iran at this point. The 2022 Annual Threat Assessment, published on Tuesday by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), made that absolutely crystal clear.
The threats aren’t directed at Biden’s people. The Iranians have the hots for Trump and his people.

CBS News has obtained two persistent threat assessments submitted to Congress by the State Department in January 2022 which cited a “serious and credible threat” on the lives of former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Trump administration Iran envoy Brian Hook. These non-public assessments show that throughout 2021, and again in 2022, the State Department assessed the need to provide round-the-clock, U.S.-taxpayer funded diplomatic security details to both men.
The Washington Free Beacon had reported on these blood-chilling threats in January. But the Biden administration doesn’t appear to be too worried — at not least, not worried enough to threaten to walk out of the nuclear talks unless Iran stops targeting American diplomats.
Trying to kill other nations’ diplomats directly contravenes international law, several treaties to which Iran is a signatory …
