Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, has admitted that she lied under oath to Congress, just like Eric Holder did in the Obama-Biden administration. Nothing happened to Holder, nothing will happen to Granholm. So when you hear some moron on the left say "nobody is above the law," you know they're running a power scam.
Granholm claimed she made a mistake when she lied during an April 20th congressional hearing. Ironically, April 20th is Adolf Hitler's birthday, and Granholm, well, never mind. She made the admission in a letter she sent Friday about the claim that she didn't own any individual stocks. She does, and she owned shares in six companies that she evidently forgot about when she lied.
Her lie was meant to go along with her testimony she gave during her confirmation hearing in 2021 whereby she lied saying she divested from stocks that could conflict with her future work, just like Nancy Pelosi and most congressional folks do.
“As you know, as part of the confirmation process before this Committee, in 2021 I divested from assets that could be in conflict with my official duties,” Granholm wrote in the lying letter obtained by Fox News Digital. “I did, however, retain assets that were determined by Government ethics officials to not conflict with my official duties.”
“I mistakenly told the Committee that I did not own any individual stocks, whereas I should have said that I did not own any conflicting stocks. In order to make my financial holdings consistent with my testimony, on May 18, 2023, I divested my remaining stock holdings which consisted of stock in six companies, even though these assets were deemed non-conflicting,” she continued in her lies.
For context, lying to Congress is a federal crime that could carry a punishment as harsh as a sneer and wagging of fingers, and Granholm is admitting to the crime of lying in her letter.
But at least she admitted that she's a damn liar--Biden and Adam Schiff never do.
The House of Representatives approved an amendment late Wednesday that prevents the Department of Energy (DOE) from implementing crazy new regulations on gas stoves that are virtually impossible to comply with and thus end their use. Fortunately, the GOP had help from over two dozen Democrats who understand how crazy is the concept.
The House vote 251 to 181 in favor of GOP Rep. Gary Palmer's (AL) amendment to a larger energy policy bill. Twenty-nine Democrats voted with the Republicans.
If the Biden administration had their way, only the Bidens and his administration would have gas stoves.
This had been a problem for the GOP ever since the Consumer Product Safety Commission suddenly decided that gas stoves presented health concerns. The idea although scrapped was soon followed by the DOE proposed regulation that would make the standards nearly impossible to reach and effectively ban most gas stoves.
Rep. Palmer heads the House Republican Policy Committee. He criticized his Democrat colleagues for mostly voting against his amendment in an interview with Fox News Digital.
"Despite all their words to the contrary, House Democrats are supportive of federal bureaucrats’ attempts to ban gas stoves. By voting against my amendment to prevent the Department of Energy from implementing its anti-natural gas agenda, they have shown themselves to be complicit," Palmer told the outlet.
"Clearly, the plan to ban gas stoves was already in the works even before federal bureaucrats said the quiet part out loud earlier this year," he said. "Republicans are meeting this attempt to dismantle American energy head on and will continue to empower Americans to choose what appliances belong in their kitchens, not have it dictated to them by a bureaucrat with a political agenda."
This is because the left is comprised of power hungry control freaks who want the ability to run our lives.
In a proposed rule posted online last month and a follow-up analysis of that rule, the department estimated that about half of the gas stoves on the market today would not meet the new standard. And even in those cases, nobody is getting sick from the stoves.
Palmer’s amendment, if implemented contingent on Republicans’ energy bill’s passage, will stop DOE Secretary Jennifer Granholm who ironically owns a gas stove, from implementing the new regulations and would prevent similar rules from being introduced.
About 38% of American households, or roughly 40 million, use natural gas to cook in their homes and as far as the Biden administration is concerned, they can go to hell--I'm not joking, man.
Two similar bills to halt the rule’s implementation were introduced by House Republicans earlier this month.
Push your local legislatures to support the ban on the ban, because if you ain't cookin' with gas, you might be doing it wrong.
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is without a doubt not qualified to be an energy secretary. She was stumped by a simple question asked by a reporter about the number of barrels of oil that are consumed in the U.S. on a daily average.
“I don’t have that number in front of me,” Energy Secretary Granholm told the liberal reporter during a White House press briefing on Tuesday.
The question was asked in response to alleged President Biden decided along with Granholm to tap into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in order to try bringing the price of sky high gas prices down to earth. So you would think Granholm would have clear knowledge of how much petroleum is consumed on a daily basis. She was as clueless as a time traveler from the Ottoman Empire.
As it turns out, the amount of oil the administration decided to release is 50 million barrels. That should cover about two and a half days of U.S. supply and that's it, as The Federalist highlighted:
“File this one under ‘not qualified to be Energy Secretary,'” Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) said about the clip of her speaking with the press.
This is the same incompetent Energy Secretary who, when asked in an interview by Bloomberg News “In Sturgis, Michigan, (gas) is $2.89 a gallon. I guess that’s better than in California. What is the Granholm plan to increase oil production in America?” laughed uncontrollably and quite patronizingly.
“Would that I had the magic wand on this. As you know, of course, oil is a global market. It is controlled by a cartel. That cartel is called OPEC. And they made a decision yesterday that they were not going to increase beyond what they were already planning.”
Rather than restarting oil production in the country, Biden's [alleged] decision to tap oil reserves, the supply normally used for emergencies such as hurricanes, shows the administration's desperation to lower the seven-year high current gas prices.
The enormous rise in fuel prices is due to the White House's war on fossil fuels which is compounded by inflation that is also engineered by this administration.
Biden's well-deserved approval rating is lower than whale droppings. While he goes to his Thanksgiving dinner at a friend's $31 million mansion, and idiot media leftists tell us to forgo the turkey this year, Americans are concerned about being able to afford the big dinner.

Meanwhile, Crenshaw called Granholm “a joke” and “a liar” in response to her statements and lack of knowledge regarding energy. You know, her job.
Crenshaw tweeted, “Our US Energy Secretary is a joke. And a liar. … No, prices are not controlled by OPEC. They have influence, but then again SO DO WE. Our vast increase in production over the past decade drove prices down. All we have to do is get the government boot off the neck of US producers, and let them do their job.”
He added, “But instead, this incompetent administration has done the opposite. They’re (sic) cancelled land leases and cancelled pipelines. They’re threatening the energy sector with more regs and taxes, and you wonder why no one wants to invest in more production?”
Seriously, if the Republicans don't take back the House and Senate, they have only themselves to blame.
A panel on the Compromised News Network (CNN) went on the defense for former President William J. Clinton Tuesday evening after a GOP commentator asked why Clinton has not been "canceled" by the Democrats in light of the #MeToo era.
This comment was in reference to Bill Clinton, who received oral sex in the Oval Office from a young intern, and who, records show, had flown on former alive pedophile and sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein's private jet to "Pedophile Island" and other destinations over two dozen times.
Before appearing on the second night of the DNC, Clinton was given high praise by CNN communist Van Jones and Jennifer Granholm. But it was their colleague Scott Jennings, a former G.W. Bush White House official, who wondered why Clinton was given a voice at the convention.
"I have to say... I am dumbfounded by this. How is it that Bill Clinton has not been canceled by the Democratic -- how has he survived all of these waves of cancellations when he has been one of the biggest violators of these rules all these years?" Jennings asked.
"We believe in redemption, brother," Jones responded, forgetting how Brett Kavanaugh was not given redemption from what Christine Blasey Ford alleged he did from his high school days decades ago, in spite of the so-called witnesses who denied it ever happened.
"We talk about the use of character to try and say 'Donald Trump is a man of lower character than Joe Biden' ... he's fair game. That's totally fine," Jennings continued. "So you're gonna say that in one breath and then say, 'Character matters. Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Clinton!'
"I mean, does this make sense to anyone?" Jennings went on. "If you want Republicans to vote for Joe Biden, having Bill Clinton talk about character and not hav[ing] drama in the Oval Office- is that the right answer?"
Granholm and her double-standards insisted Jennings' concerns were "answered decades ago" and touted Clinton's record as president, which apparently can forgive him for "none sexual oral sex" in the Oval Office.
Seriously, what does his job performance have to do with his inappropriate sexual performance?
Jones told Jennings that what he "admires" about Clinton is that he "acknowledged his wrongdoing" and "apologized," adding that apologies "don't come as easy" from the Trump White House.
In other words, if you apologize for being sexually inappropriate or abusive with women, you will be forgiven, but only if you're in the correct political party.
"I don't think we have to say that everything that Bill Clinton has done is great, but I do think that when he has made mistakes, he's acknowledged them and I admire him for that," Jones said just before Anderson Cooper quickly changed the subject.
And Jeffrey Epstein was really good at math.
