Welcome to USA This Week, a wrap up of news from our neighbours down south that didn’t make the headlines in Canada..This week, we’re ‘Biden’ our time. .C’mon man.Last week, US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden visited the US territory of Puerto Rico, which was ravaged by Hurricane Fiona. Trying to connect with his audience, Biden said he was "was sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community, at home, politically," apparently alluding to Delaware's supposed ‘very large’ Puerto Rican population back in the 1950s and '60s.. BidenIn a fiery keynote speech to supporters recently, US President Joe Biden accused Trump supporters of "semi-fascism." ."You know, I come from the little state of Delaware,” said Biden. "We have a very, in relative terms, large Puerto Rican population in Delaware. We have the eighth-largest black population in the country. And between all minorities, we have 20% of our state is minority. And so, I was sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community at home, politically.”.According to the 1970 US Census, Delaware's population was 550,332, with the Puerto Rican community accounting for less than .4% of the population when the now 79-year-old Biden was being raised..It’ a gas, gas, gas..Gasoline prices in Los Angeles soared to a record high of US$6.49 per gallon (about CAD$1.44 per litre), with the blame placed on a tight supply, worsened by refinery shutdowns and high state taxes on the West Coast, even as prices fall in other states. Prices were even higher in San Francisco ($6.61/gallon) and Mono Country on the border of Nevada ($7.29/gallon), nearly double the national average of $3.87..This came at the same time OPEC announced a slash in oil production by two million barrels per day. California has some of the largest oil reserves in the USA and of course Canada also has extremely large oil reserves.. Keystone XLStacked pipe, not used. A metaphor for the prime minister's dreams? .One of Joe Biden’s first acts as president was to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline agreement between the United States and Canada. One week later, Biden stopped issuing new oil and gas leases on public lands in the US. Last spring, as gasoline prices soared on short supply, Biden authorized tapping into the US strategic petroleum reserve (SPR), and since then, 180 million barrels of oil has been released, depleting the SPR to 416.4 million barrels, the lowest since 1984..Biden does not plan on replenishing the supply with American oil or Canadian oil, but is looking to Venezuela to fill the gap because as Larry Kudrow told FOX News, “(Biden) has decided everybody in the world should produce oil, except the United States.”.Going nuclear.Speaking at a fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Biden said the risk of Armageddon is at the highest level since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and Russian President Vladimir Putin is "not joking when he talks about the use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological or chemical weapons.”.Retired U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Blaine Holt, a former deputy military representative to NATO, responded by saying Biden’s fear mongering comes without any evidence of diplomacy or statesmanship being shown in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. ."Where's the diplomacy?" Holt, a Newsmax military contributor, said on Wake Up America.."Where are the statesmanship and the standing up in front of the American people and describing the danger to them without fear mongering?". John F. Kennedy .As for the words "nuclear Armageddon," that was not a phrase raised by Presidents John F. Kennedy or Ronald Reagan, "when we were probably at the very edge," said Holt.."We were in real trouble until we weren't in trouble, but there was statesmanship," he said. "There was diplomacy everywhere. There was great communication with the American people about what the risks were and here we are without any of that.".The Hunter becomes the hunted.A report from The Washington Post says federal agents believe they have enough evidence to charge Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, with tax crimes and a false statement related to a gun purchase..The news comes two years after Hunter abandoned his laptop at a computer repair shop; a laptop that contained salacious photos and other disparaging information about the president’s son, a story that was buried by the legacy mainstream media..The actual investigation into Hunter Biden began in 2018 and became a central focus for then-President Donald Trump during the 2020 presidential election. .Initially, the investigation focused on the younger Biden’s finances relating to overseas business and consulting work.
