Energy group unveils six-figure ad buy ripping Biden for similarities to Carter: 'History is repeating itself'

An energy group announced Monday that it had purchased a "high six-figure" digital advertisement campaign comparing President Biden to former President Jimmy Carter.

Power The Future will run the ad on social media in Alaska, New Mexico, Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania and select districts in Texas, targeting energy-producing regions of the U.S., the group told FOX Business. The 90-second ad draws a parallel between Biden's and Carter's energy policies and the high inflation rates experienced during their two administrations.

"President Biden, if you’re going to plagiarize someone else’s tired ideas, make sure it’s not from a failing student," the ad says after playing clips of Biden and Carter talking about their respective energy agenda.

Power The Future's ad also shows a clip of Carter boasting about the creation of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve before cutting to Biden's recent remarks announcing a release of one million barrels of oil per day for six consecutive months.

"A half century may have passed between the Carter and Biden administrations, but their policy ideas have not changed and neither have the outcomes," Power The Future Founder and Executive Director Daniel Turner said in a statement shared with FOX Business. "Unfortunately, history is repeating itself, and the biggest losers are the wallets of middle-class Americans."

"Energy touches every facet of our economy, and Biden’s relentless war on the industry and its workers has driven inflation to levels not seen since the Carter years," he continued. "Let’s hope for the health of our economy and future that Biden’s presidency follows Carter’s in another way: one term and done."

The U.S. experienced an energy crisis during the one-term Carter administration, leading to long lines at gas stations nationwide. In addition, inflation surged more than 13% at the end of Carter's presidency, a major factor contributing to his defeat in 1980.

By comparison, inflation soared 9.1% in June, the highest year-over-year increase since 1981. Energy prices, including gasoline and electricity costs, alone spike 41.6% over the last 12 months.


The ad is part of Power The Future's broader effort to educate voters on key energy issues ahead of the 2022 midterm election, the group said.

"Voters are feeling the effect of the Biden energy policies in their quality of life, looming blackouts and food shortages," Turner told FOX Business. "They need to know this is reversible but only with political will to stop these green policies from ding more damage."

"This video is step one and a reminder: we’ve been here before. We’ve heard this before. Biden is Carter 2.0. Let’s hit the brakes on Carter redux before the damage is permanent," he said.

The problem with New York: Teen, 16, BATTERS cop in Manhattan subway station and is FREED less than 24 hours later under lax bail laws

The teenager, 16, can be seen (video on the link) punching the cop in the head before grabbing him around the neck and slamming him repeatedly into metal railings at the East Harlem subway station. He was reportedly previously arrested for possession of a loaded gun and robbery, but he was released the next day after appearing in court. Another teen, a 16-year-old girl, ducked under the turnstile with him and initially tried to drag officers off the boy while throwing punches.

Rishi fails to land a blow in brutal BBC debate: Sunak slams Liz Truss for 'immoral' £40bn tax cut vow as she brands him a 'bean-counter' who would crash the economy - and poll finds Tories think the Foreign Secretary came out on top



With the battle to replace Boris Johnson turning increasingly nasty and polls showing he is trailing, Rishi Sunak came out fighting in a showdown on the BBC. The ex-Chancellor told Liz Truss it was 'not responsible', 'immoral' and 'not Conservative' to offer to cut taxes - something he has suggested cannot happen until Autumn next year. 'You've promised almost £40billion of unfunded tax cuts... everyone here will have to pick up the tab for that,' he said. But the Foreign Secretary hit back that she would reverse the increase in national insurance, and it made no sense to raise taxes during a global economic crisis. She said other states like the US were not lifting the tax burden, adding 'we are an outlier'. When Mr Sunak warned that interest rates could soar as a result of her policies, Ms Truss said: 'This is scaremongering.' But Mr Sunak jibed at her support for staying in the EU in 2016, saying: 'There was only one of us on the side of Remain Project Fear and it was not me.'

Ted Cruz releases graphic video detailing 'narco slave trade' at southern border: 'This is barbaric'

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, released a graphic video highlighting the brutality of what he calls the "Narco slave trade" at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The video begins with Cruz and border officials tending to a group of migrants who crossed the border late in the night. He highlights that the vast majority of migrants are being economically exploited by the drug cartels bringing them into the U.S.

"These children come in in debt to vicious cartels thousands and thousands of dollars. The teenage boys work for the gangs in every city in America, and the teenage girls experience a hell worse than that, with far too many of them human trafficked into sex slavery," Cruz says in the video. "Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are responsible for the worst plague of slavery in America since the Civil War."

"This is not compassionate. This is not humane. This is barbaric," Cruz adds as the footage cycles graphic photos of migrants who have died attempting to cross the border.



President Biden's administration has presided over record-breaking border crossings in both 2021 and 2022.

The administration has repeatedly attempted to dismiss border surges as a yearly pattern, but while the southern border has seen a pattern of increases in migration each spring, the surges in both 2021 and 2022 far outpaced previous years.

Biden claimed in March 2021 that the border surge was "what happens every year." The U.S. saw 1.7 million border crossings by the end of that year, an all-time record.

2022 is expected to break that record, however.

Biden was handed an economy that was recovering from the pandemic, however his policy of doing the polar opposite of Trump and following the far left green ideology has destroyed the economy in less than two years and has driven us into a recession...At Biden's current rate he will have us in a depression in another eighteen months...There is no good reason to use any of our strategic oil reserves when we have oil we could be drilling and piping to refineries...We have to consider that the oil in those reserves was acquired at a very low cost compared to the cost of oil now, that oil should only be used for shortages, not to temporarily band-aid high costs...

White House announces sale of additional 20 million barrels of oil from Strategic Petroleum Reserve

Brittney Griner ought to tone down her anti-American rhetoric if she gets freed because of this deal...

...

Biden offers Putin Russian arms dealer, dubbed Merchant of Death who is serving 25 years in US prison, for Brittney Griner AND Paul Whelan in prisoner swap

Biden Administration is considering exchanging Russian arms dealer for Griner, Whelan

The Biden Administration has offered Moscow a prisoner swap that would free Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan, two high-profile Americans who are jailed in Russia's notorious judicial system, it was reported Wednesday. The proposal would free Griner, a WNBA star, and Whelan, a Marine veteran convicted on spying charges he and the government deny, in exchange for freeing Russian arms merchant Viktor Bout. Bout, who was the inspiration for Nicolas Cage’s character in the 2005 film Lord of War, is serving a 25-year sentence in the U.S. after being convicted on trafficking charges.

Harry is only a puppet of Meghan Markle.

She's painted quite a life (of lies) for herself...I doubt she understands what objective truth or facts are...

Meghan the 'only child' - and what her 'truth' tells us about the triumph of feeling over fact

In a peculiar new twist in the risible soap opera that is the Meghan And Harry Show, the former Hollywood TV actress has submitted papers to a Florida court arguing that there is not, after all, such a thing as objective truth. In case you've lost track of the latest developments, Meghan is being sued for defamation by her own half-sister Samantha, who was outraged by the Duchess's claim in her Oprah Winfrey interview that she 'grew up as an only child'. According to Samantha, this is simply untrue. And like Dr Johnson kicking the stone, she points to her own existence as proof.

'Play with fire and you WILL get burned': Xi's severe warning to Biden on Taiwan in two-hour call as tensions reach boiling point and WH braces for potential military response to Pelosi's trip

'Play with fire and you will get burned': China's Xi's warning to Biden on Taiwan in

China's President Xi Jinping warned Joe Biden 'those who play with fire will get burned' during a two-hour call Thursday morning, according to Chinese state media. The fifth call between the world leaders since President Biden took office comes amid simmering tensions and a potential impending visit to Taiwan from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The last time Biden and Xi last spoke was in March of this year – shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine. The White House has not yet released a read out of the call Thursday morning. But Chinese state media released some excerpts from the call, including Xi telling Biden: 'Those who play with fire will only get burnt. Hope the U.S. side can see this clearly.' The leader of the People's Republic of China also said he firmly opposes Taiwan independence and the interference of external forces.

Yep, worse than Carter...

'That doesn't sound like a recession to me': Biden REFUSES to admit economic crisis and touts how HE is responsible for growth as he pushes Manchin deal that will lead to new spending and taxes on the rich

President Joe Biden insisted the U.S. economy is on track after the Commerce Department said Thursday that the gross domestic product shrank for a second quarter in a row, which is typically the definition of a recession. 'That doesn't sound like a recession to me,' Biden said Thursday afternoon in the State Dining Room, pointing to strong job numbers. He dedicated most of his speech to the Senate reconciliation bill compromise that was announced Wednesday by moderate Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. 'My message to Congress is this: This is the bill you can pass to lower inflation, cut the deficit, reduce healthcare costs, tackle the climate change and promote energy security - all the time while reducing the burdens facing working class and middle class families,' Biden said. 'So pass it, pass it for the American people, pass it for America,' he added.

Mexico City residents angered by influx of Americans speaking English, gentrifying area

An influx of Californians and other Americans has made its way to Mexico City, angering some locals who say they are gentrifying the area, according to a report.

The Los Angeles Times report on Wednesday outlined how some Mexican locals are "fed up" with the growing number of Americans, many from California, moving to and visiting the country, which has contributed to a rise in rent and a shift from Spanish to English in some places.

"New to the city? Working remotely?" fliers popping up around Mexico City reportedly said. "You’re a f—ing plague and the locals f—ing hate you. Leave."

The article outlines how Americans have brought a scent of "new-wave" imperialism as taquerias and corner stores have slowly transformed into coffee shops and Pilates studios.

DC's Democrat mayor calls in the NATIONAL GUARD to deal with migrants: Bowser demands help to deal with Texas Gov. Abbot's border buses that have caused a 'humanitarian crisis'

Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is calling on the National Guard to be activated to help deal with the migration crisis in the nation's capitol after Texas and Arizona launched an initiative sending asylum-seekers there. 'The pace of arriving buses and the volume of arrivals have reached tipping points,' Bowser wrote in a letter to the Biden administration. 'Our collective response and service efforts have now become overwhelmed.' 'Tragically, many families arrive in Washington, DC with nowhere to go, or they remain in limbo seeking onward destinations across the United States,' she added.
