California will raise gas taxes on July 1 because the timing is great? Gov. Newsom isn’t inclined to give a tax holiday but he will do the opposite. To solve the problem it creates, he is considering welfare “freebies” so people can buy food and fill up their tanks. San Francisco, CA – May 14th, 2022: Gas station sign on Lombard Street in San Francisco is showing record high prices above $6.00/gallon The average price of a gallon of gas has officially surpassed $6 for the first time in California and in U.S. history. It’s another first for Democrats!
The average per-gallon cost is now $6.05, though the price climbed as high as $7.79 in remote Mono County, according to AAA. The national average, meanwhile, was nearly $1.50 cheaper at $4.56 per gallon.
The state government of California will increase the state tax on gasoline from 51 cents per gallon to 53.9 cents. California has the highest taxes on gasoline.
The federal government might come to the rescue with handouts as they falsely claim the gas companies are gouging. No one gouges like the federal government with their climate and excise taxes.
They can’t do it just yet because the gas cards they want to hand out as gifts are a problem. There is a chip shortage. [It will add to inflation, by the way]
California has done everything it could to make gas prices skyrocket.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
