posted by Hannity Staff - 12.31.21

Vice President Kamala Harris clammed up Thursday when she was asked to comment on the nation’s escalating inflation crisis; telling a reporter from CBS News that people simply “need what they need” and the Biden administration will “deal with the fact.”

“People are going into the third year of this pandemic. We talk about cost-of-living… Was it wrong to consider inflation transitory? These price spikes seem like they’re going to be with us for a while” asked the journalist.

“We have to address the fact that, we gotta deal with the fact that, folks are paying for gas, paying for groceries, and are, and need solutions to it, so let’s talk about that,” said the VP before discussing the country’s supply chain problems.

“People need what they need. In terms of the long term, that’s about what we need to do to pass Build Back Better that strengthens our economy,” added the Vice President.

posted by Hannity Staff - 5.11.21

A cyberattack against a major energy pipeline along the East Coast caused fuel shortages in states like Florida, Virginia, and South Carolina Tuesday as security experts scrambled to get the key piece of infrastructure back online.

“Drivers along parts of the East Coast are feeling the immediate effects of the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline following a ransomware attack, reports CBS News’ Laura Podesta. Some waited an hour or more on lines at gas stations before filling up or learning the pumps had run dry,” reports CBS News.

“It was unbelievable. When I was driving today, I thought it was a catastrophe coming! I’ve seen all these cars waiting and I was like, ‘OMG. I have to fill my tank up!’” said one local in South Carolina.

Gas prices jumped six cents within 24 hours, raising the national average to nearly $3 per gallon.

“If this outrage goes past the end of the week … prices could spike pretty dramatically,” said Kevin Book of Clearview Energy Partners.

CARTER 2.0: Southeast Gas Stations Ration Fuel, Cars Line-Up, Drivers Wait for Hours

posted by Hannity Staff - 5.12.21

Americans in the southeastern section of the country had flashbacks of the 1979 Oil Crisis this week when gas stations began rationing fuel in the aftermath of a major cyberattack against a pivotal pipeline.

“The closure of the 5,500-mile Colonial Pipeline, which carries more than 100 million gallons of fuel from Texas to New Jersey each day, has stretched into its fifth day,” reports the New York Post.

“It sparked wild scenes of panic buying across Georgia, Florida, Virginia and South Carolina — with North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp even declaring states of emergency in their areas. Kemp also issued an executive order suspending Georgia’s gas tax through Saturday to help offset the costs of higher fuel prices,” adds the newspaper.

“I DON’T HAVE ANY GAS AND THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DOESN’T HAVE GAS!! WHAT IN THE 2021 IS GOING ON !!” one panicked driver tweeted.

“I’ve seen all these cars waiting and I was like, ‘OMG. I have to fill my tank up!’” said another.
