When President Obama was in office gas prices soared to more than $5/gal. When President Trump took office he unleashed the energy sector and we became energy independent for the first time driving gas prices down. Now reports of the current JoeBama policy impact show gas prices likely to top $4.00/gal next year.
WASHINGTON – […] Since Election Day, gas and crude oil prices have jumped. In the United States, gas prices are up 18% and oil nearly 50%.
Said another industry expert, “In four years, we had made the U.S. energy independent and denied the bad guys the ability to control global oil prices. The Democrats undo it in two weeks. Just incredible.”
Many of Biden’s first moves were directed at radically cutting the chances for further global warming. Several will kill jobs.
Every department has been ordered to factor climate change into their moves. In addition, he suspended new drilling leases on federal lands, restricted U.S funds in worldwide carbon energy programs, eliminated “fossil fuel subsidies,” stopped the Keystone XL oil pipeline construction, and slapped a moratorium on federal leases in Arctic Wildlife Refuge.

Higher fuel prices disproportionately hits the working class. In addition to higher cost to fill-up your tank, transportation costs increase and raw material costs increase. The downstream impact of increased oil prices are significant.
Economic and foreign policies that return to an era of OPEC dependence are favored by those who push the “climate change” agenda. Those who support energy independence understand that U.S. foreign policy is able to retract when we are not dependent on other nations for our fuel and raw materials. It is all connected.
Here in Central Commie-Unicornia, we are already paying $4/gal for top tier. Looks like those of us in the service sector will be applying a commensurate percentage bump to materials and overhead. BOHICA!
Same here in the heart of beast, Sacramento.
Did you guys recall Gruesome Newsom yet?
Just askin’…
There are enough signatures. But the fact is even if he is recalled he will be replaced by another Leftist just as bad ..
Left the Chinese Colony of California in June. Paying $3.10 per gallon for NON ETHANOL -91 octane. Feels good man.
BOHICA.

Thank you for explaining!
Altho not $4 yet, regular gas in suburban Seattle has gone up about 30c since the inauguration. We now pay $3.19 at a local Shell, and Costco has gone from $2.49 to now $2.79.
Well Shell have announced they are joining BP in “transitioning” away from oil and gas to become “carbon neutral” by 2030.
So expect their prices to “necessarily skyrocket” soon.
You better fill up yer tanks!
Btw we pay over six (yes £6) a gallon for diesel here in sub zero Scotland.
We just registered the lowest temp in 60 years in Braemar on Wednesday night.
We are relying on Joe Bidet to fix this damn global warming soon.
Up 50 cents a gallon here in Phoenix since the joementia coronation .
The very fact that you’re still there is just crazy!
SW Virginia was paying $1.83 on Jan 10. $2.13 a week ago. Now paying $2.29.
That’s with a 12 cent/gal tax from the Dems in Richmond on 1 Jan to pay for their DC rail extension that all of VA pays for and 1% benefit from.
Someday, the slaves will no longer be silent. That day may be sooner than anyone thinks, but later than needed.
That’s about the same here in alabama
I make more money when gas is high.
Good for you. It is very deleterious for me, as I travel a lot. And when the cost of heating oil goes up, those in the northeast, particularly those on a fixed income, are devastated.
How selfish of you to lord it over people who can’t afford the higher prices.
There are winners and losrs.i own a small working interest from my grandfather in a W. TX oil field. I have been dying because I have to pay all the expenses of getting oil out of the ground, and it costs me about $55/barrel…Even if the price of oil is $35/barrel. So I’ve been going in the hole since 2014. Right now, I’m breaking even. I am one of the few small owners left in this field.
A lot of those costs are fixed costs to keep pressure in the well. They can’t be reduced much. So actually since 2012, I haven’t made any money and am in the hole.
So a slight rise in prices would be good for me. Oil production is very costly, always has been.
He is not lording it over on anyone. He stated a fact as this situation applies to him.
You are no different than a politician in terms of mind-set…..”Greed”.
Well, enjoy that while it lasts. Whatever profit you think you have will disappear in energy and food costs.
Reality has the last laugh.
So it’s all about you. Screw the 99% who are hurt by higher gas prices. Goo to know you’re a dik.
who sets the gas price? by simply cuttin off supply it goes up? Can Texas supply its on citizens or is their a law against that?
Lousiana has gas, Alabama has gas.

in a global sense, what biden has effectively done is GIFTED both RUSSIA AND SAUDI ARABIA and unchallenged position of dominance with zero constraints.
it’s important to understand that about 3 years ago,with the latest BUMP occuring right after the pandemic became global… both of these two countries coordinated DUMPING cheap oil stocks on the global markets effectively stiffing US oil segment. Prices are very low because the two primary market controllers have provided excess supply….and in terms of costs of production, US oil requires around 20-30 dollars minimum per barrel in the global market to be competitive against the two. Russia Saudi “pact” effectively set prices far below this number. The ONLY reason US oil did not collapse out right is directly attributed to President Trump’s decisive actions to place massive trade regulations and to provide massive financial incentives to preserve price control security for US oil…this included coordination with canada. The additional route of Keystone XL would have been a long term challenge solution to the russia saudi problem. It would allow the US to compete even IF the price control and trade regulations he ordered failed over time. This was ALWAYS the strategic plan. Keystone XL was and continues to be the only viable way to provide that security because it allows our oil in the net to save a massive amount of transit costs.
Biden just put OIL national security interests for the US in the back of the bus preferring that russia and Saudi arabia to go unchallenged to set nearly any price. They are now in a position to drop supply at any moment…and I know they will.
Biden did this…Biden is being manipulated BY CHINA because his entire “team” is compromised and complicit to a china doctrine …it’s a special club….and we ain’t in it. Biden just made sure of that.
THIS is why we need to get after this administration and quickly. Tanking the US economy in the middle of a pandemic is going to have long enduring effects that will allow china to dominate nearly every segment.
If I was biden and Harris, I would be very careful with movements. They are now in many lists.
as well the quiet congress who are instead spending their energies (and ours) to a shampeachment trial that does not solve anything other than create more division in this country at every single level.
Found in the bin…. 🙁
Excellent thought
Democrats have NEVER focused on foreign policy and economics. They are narcissists. Navel gazers. And largely unsophisticated. So other than extorting bribes, a la Ukraine, they make one blunder after another, and we pay the price.
today: Gov. Bel Edwards (Louisiana) under GREAT Pressure from constituents to confront President Biden THIS WEEK about the EO’s that have effectively hammered a death nail to LA’s Oil and refinery industries…A loss of over 150,000 jobs expected over the next 8 Months with a loss of revenue estimated to be 31 BILLION dollars. Bel Edwards is a democrat, one of very few in southern red states.
background: Bel Edwards has a established history of NOT engaging Presidents in any way. We will see his power come under enormous pressure politically by his constituents who hold great sway over voter sentiments if he is ineffective at reversing this dumpster fire.
sidenote: rumors are growing hotter that Bill Cassidy may defect from the GOP and vote for impeachment in exchange for certain Biden Administration favors to restore key oil measures ..effectively placing him in a position to challenge Bel Edwards the governor.
nutshell: typical Louisiana politics. A “mini” snapshot of how things operate in DC!
Always horse trading with terms that never depart from devil’s bargains.
Not just DC.
Deep State is politically everywhere in American government…
So vote to convict an innocent person so you can further your career?
Sounds about right for DC. About 99% of them belong in prison – but instead they sit in congress dealing themselves more more more.
They ARE in Prison. Surrounded by barbed wire fencing. They just don’t realize it yet. It is a prison of their own making. It is a stockade of lies and criminal actions that will eventually be adjucated.
Just have to lock all the exits, not let them out, and install guard towers.
Overdue measure, shoulda done it a long time ago.
Your comment made me laugh and made my day! Thank you!
The imaginary visual is great!
Please Lord, just one little meteor. Just a little one, perfectly aimed?
Need more rope, tar, feathers, etc.
“a loss of revenue estimated to be 31 BILLION dollars”
That’s a lot of dollars.
And a lot of families.
Yes, of course… I should have added that “A loss of over 150,000 jobs” is just unacceptable.
say it fast and it doesn’t sound like so much is what Willie Nelson said about his tax bill
see above edit…sometimes I get over my skies…and in this case, well over them.
apologies
LA went 58.8% for Trump. So I swallowed the Blue Pill Cassidy is going to run for governor on an I betrayed Trump to help LA platform? When pigs fly. LOL!
challenging edwards..yes I should be a bit more clear..
cassidy is a RINO…having been a democrat until 2001!
he is unlikely to replace edwards as gov.
the play here is to be the “guy who brokered oil industry relief from Pres Biden” when edwards could not.
this is certainly in his sights.
gaining MORE power and the money that flows from big oil here in Louisiana is the goal. Edwards knows this too…we all do!
So, cassidy goes about revolting from the GOP on a vote to impeach trump, which gives him nice relations and access to Biden. You can BET there will be other conditions..and he will be happy to fulfill those biden agenda items. But not for free. And none would be expected.
when cassidy does a runaround to edwards, he gains political power and big oil support…once cannot underestimate this position.
if successful, and it probably will, Cassidy gets the big league jersey…AND THAT allows him to front a very aggressive constituency to not only hold his power within the GOP, but also puts him in a position to leverage and even possibly replace edwards with a preferred installement.
that’s just my opinion…us bayou boys spend alot of time eating crawfish and talking story…
Cassidy doesn’t have a prayer if Landry challenges. People are POed over Cassidy big time.
landry IS the most likely runner for GOV..I would say it could go either way…He’s already prepped for it.
if things work out right, cassidy defects, creating a space of weakness for edwards and then with a huge bigfoot, landry steps in and clobbers edwards for the capitol.
cassidy just took his second term in Jan 2020, so that’s going to be quite a long time before anyone is going after that office. 2027. RECALL LEGISLATION DOES EXIST for Louisiana and it US senators, whoever it would be very difficult…and unlikely…getting the petition and numbers would be easy…relatively speaking that would be the easy part. But getting the state legislature to ACT and put it into motion and on a special ballot would be very difficult. There IS a effort to do this, but I have little confidence it will go anywhere. I can’t remember the last time any US senator has been recalled by Louisiana…
probably have to do it the old fashioned way and get him in bed with stormy daniels…she’s available. /S
There may be hope for 10A yet.
Them: “We have 24 months to make our policies permanent.”
Everyone else: “Not so much.”
Be ironic if a democrat governor and AG bring the suit that succeeds in proving feral gub’t overreach is unConstitutional.
Given your insight into LA politics, can we count on Guv Edwards to count on being reelected?
Bonus fantasy question: Could the Texit sentiment cross the state line into Louisiana?
I may have fudged the funny money numbers…its far lower than I stated…
but the “add on” revenue not seldom mentioned with BIG OIL is also hard to estimate.
When someone tells you gross revenue numbers for oil in a specific market segment..you can either half it or double it. In either case, you are likely to be closer to the actual number than is “reported”
frankly seriously, It really doesn’t matter what the numbers are…and especially in the current pandemic and economic environment. Shanking Louisiana’s oil in the back would be a disaster of epic proportions. It would devastate this state at every level, far more than any pandemic would ever achieve.
you can blame biden for that.
correction: you can blame china for that…biden is just “in the way” (see what I did there? 🙂
Can you tell us anything about your congressional elections coming up in March?
candidate registrations open yesterday for 20 March elections.
by the numbers: 2 plus 1*
there are two seats open to fill two vacant U.S. House seats, one representing a majority-minority district centered in New Orleans and the other a rural district covering the state’s northeast and central parishes. 2 and 5 districts.
Cedric Richmond left to join bribem administration..that’s 2nd district…where he served 5 terms. it’s new orleans..highly likely to see another DEM stooge fill it. I don’t follow NOLA politics. I pretty much have the same attitude New York rural residents have about NYC politics (with apologies)…sort of really don’t care to know what kind of sorcery goes on down in the zombie region.
five candidates have signed up for competition for each seat. (10 total candidates) Competition ends tomorrow for each district.
two dem senator have the highest odds of winning the 2nd…the differences between either can be reduced to a rounding error in the calculation of planck scales…both creatures of the filthy NOLA political scene grubbing on the emotional momentum when they surfaced in front of cameras to express their outrage for another criminal who was shot dead…whilt commiting a crime..by police. yippee..where do I sign up. ugg. The current fashion in the big easy seems to prefer the woman, so as you would expect in a circus, yes, KAREN carter Peterson will likely get the nod. Now Karen will tell you she admires and models after Kamala and can’t stop letting you know about how she feels about a BLACK WOMAN as vice president and what it means to women across the planet. I don’t know what it means and I was really hoping she could explain it. I’m still sort of waiting for that. Karen is into “shaking things up..that’s what I’m known for”…and liquor…presumably not stirred. With glee we can report KAREN also has that familiar natural smooth delivery as Kamala too, which is really intoxicating…with emphasis on toxic..but in a good way, you know… and I quote:
“When women are not at the table, they’re on the menu,” she said.
huh…I never knew…well I’ll be damned…
yes…women on the menu..!
waiter, what’s the special today?
well sir, we have a half baked loin of kamala ..it goes very well with our house word salad.
what do you call this delicacy?
KAREN! (in a high pitch scream, he said)
that will be delightful…
….said no one!
in the 5th, Julia Letlow the survivor, will face “some” competition from a former 3 place finisher in the last race, Sandra “candy” Christophe, a social worker, and democrat with the sweetness in her name to prove it. She hasn’t reached a level of ridiculousness ….yet…..and so I apologize having no meaningful quote to describe her desires. But I like the name candy…alot. A serious amount of alot. I might even vote for her if I thought…never mind…I wander.
in a twist that can nearly only happen in Louisiana, the former opelousas republican, Allen Guillory, who was a big supporter and fund raiser for Letlow, is now placing his own name on the competition and yes running against Julia the survivor.
Allen the defector of everything that says loyalty to a tragedy…has claimed:
“if she wins, those two children will now have lost two parents !”
it never ends…I wake up…it never ends..every day…like groundhog day, but with a groundhog that has never been right about the weather…ever. that’s my life…but I love it. I don’t know why I love it…but I do..maybe I’m couyon a bit myself. I should run..for the border!
Yes, Allen is actually running for the seat of a man he campaigned for who died of covid and is not suggesting he is the best choice because otherwise who will take care of the kids with two parents who have drifted into the abyss. (he might have a point, but it still screams..puke!)
And it might work…It often does around here. We have a long and durable habit of selecting figures who tickle our tender spots not noticing the obvious distortion. But that’s how we roll..on the blue bayou. groundhogs…night terror groundhogs…where’s the shotgun.
also on the ballot is a seat on the state board of elementary and secondary education representing NW LA. Don’t know the details of that ..yet. But I’m certain it will be another seat filled from within..it almost always does. because you know the best way to provide excellence in Louisiana education that has failed in every category is to promote the same people within the same board… I mean who doesn’t want to fail the test again. repeating the same grade is just showing a sign of respect for the system. We will give them another try…and again…and some more ..because that’s what we do well. we reward failure with more of the same. Rumor has it, they will introduce mathematics in the 14th grade..but they are still not sure if that’s going to work out.
20 march, everyone who completes the competition and remains on ballots will run.
50.1 % rules apply. If not achieved, runoff in April 24.
in breaking news, “we” just elected the guy down the street to grill this weekend…We helped remove some old growth oak that has been siting for over ten years on his property..the pork slow and low should be fantastic. We’ll probably upgrade him to saucier if he does well. We had to assassinate the last guy who screwed it up….tried to “finish” in the oven…and he didn’t have the courtesy to lie about it.
if politics could be so easy to solve.
groundhogs
JBE is hoping for a bailout from Biden to cover the shortfall from the lockdown/oil revenue.
Why is it that gov’t can’t be expected to DO MORE WITH LESS? Why can’t govt take a pay cut? Why do THEY ALWAYS COME FIRST?!
Don’t you mean “STOLEN” elections have consequences?
True !
State GOP legislatures & courts are fascio communist rulers.
Could start a campaign to stop the assanation of President Trump… make it so public, with funding and support, that it MAKES PEOPLE THINK he is being targeted….
Result – gets people attacking him to BACK THE FCK off.
didnt want to type that word out.
R U better off now than you were 23 days ago ? Then enjoy Democommunism.
will a car run on ethanol 100%?
expensive but you can make it?
The problem with ethanol as a fuel, is that it takes more energy to produce it than it provides as fuel.
You are better off to leave it as corn/food.
Can it be done? Yes. Is it efficient? No. Why does any one do it? Govt subsidies.
Who pays for the subsidies? Taxpayers. Get it?
after “iran” drones us… just thinking of ways.. i bet the dirt bikes take it better.
^^Actually, that is not true. It was when it was in its infancy. Today, the very best plants get well over a 2:1 energy return. I still think it is not the most practical way of utilizing corn and other renewables but it definitely does not take more energy to make than it provides.
How many gallons of diesel to make 1 gallon of ethanol , do the math.
I don’t know but here is the breakdown:
https://ethanolrfa.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Re-examining-Corn-Ethanols-Energy-Balance.pdf
It would make more sense to burn it directly. Corn is very high now but it still compares well with fuel oil. 392000 BTU per bushel, equal to about 2.85 gallons of fuel oil,
Basic engine 4mpg on alcohol major modifications to burn straight. ran e85 in my c-class once 3.3 mpg. Oldsmobile v-6 8 cents a mile on straight gas 10% ethanol 11 cents a mile.
Evidently, you do not understand “total energy budget”.
Provide evidence that your 2:1 ratio is true. Include ALL subsidies for corn ethanol and account for all fertilizer, diesel, pesticide, equipment amortization, that pertain to the planting, growing, harvesting, transportation, fermentation, and delivery, of ethanol.
Go ahead. Make my day.
Exactly
Ethanlo destroys small engines – ATV, outborads, chainsaws, etc. Eats them up quickly.
It also has different uses though. We don’t just use corn for fuel and our food. We use it for our animals also.
Remember also that if a farmer is only growing corn than he’s not growing something else.
Supply and demand never changes.
Winter/ Cold is also a problem.
it also creates a unnatural supply squeze on corn for food…of which we then import from mexico..then apply tarrifs which has the effect of forcing small farms into submission here, consolidating bill gates level control over ag assets.
yes, the tree huggers have been duper again…while the world hunger is at an all time high, with a fuel that requires vastly more energy to refine that dinosaur fluid AND big ag makes bank…and taxes manufactured…nice racket these environmentally dense people got cooking eh?
I was thinking we need to update mamet’s principle.
it’s really not that they know so many things that are not true…
it’s really not that they pretend not to know certain things.
nope..
morons.
Ethanol is a type of alcohol.. it is mixed with gasoline.. the proportions can vary.
The higher the Ethanol content the lower the engine horsepower.
Part of the problem with alcohol is is low volatility at lower temperatures..
I have never heard of a pure ethanol internal combustion engine.. but that doesn’t mean some tinkerer has not invented it..
I believe the Wankel engine might be easer to convert..
research research
Alcohol needs higher compression lots of race cars running ethanol and methanol.
Dragsters use ethanol (C2H5OH) and nitromethane (CH3NO2) because they include extra oxygen molecules (O) that enhances combustion and provides more energy during their 4 second runs. It isn’t about efficiency. It is about power, speed, time, and winning. Money is no object. Just like NASA uses Liquid O2 and H2, because money is no object, it is all about power density.
This is not where the average peasant lives. I’m one of those peasants.
50 cents a gallon means a lot to me over a year.
$500/gallon means nothing to a drag racer.
I drive because I have to eat. Racers drive to win and its a business.
Racers “write off” their fuel costs. I have to absorb the costs.
Different objectives.
NHRA 90% nitro max now. 15 gallons plus per fire up burnout and 1 pass last time i had 5 gallons of nitro delivered 100 $ hazmat fees add lots. I remember way back when Joe Amato had a 5 million dollar budget for a year. That wouldn’t cut it today. All working people can use cheaper fuel costs . ,04 a gallon over a 40 year working career in the mid 80s would’ve been 40 to 60 thousand dollar savings with basic interest nice chunk of change for anybody as far as I’m concerned
There’s really no such thing as pure ethanol on the “street.” You have to store it in molecular sieves to keep the water content very low because EtOH is extremely hydrophillic. That’s one of the reasons why kerosene is used in Jets (and stuff like gun cleaning solvents; rust). Leave a high EtOH content gasoline in your lawn mower at the end of the season, then in the spring take the bowl of the carb off…notice that gray crud that will probably plug up the metering jet? Yep, water corrosion of the pot metal.
There’s also an inherent BTU issue with EtOH vs gasoline that the greenies never never understand. It’s always about carbons in fuels…carbons, carbons, carbons. That’s the reason why you can’t get any mileage out of methane or LPG. Work=BTUs=Carbons. On the other hand, add a nitro and a methane to ethanol and see what happens in a top fuel dragster. Use long cellulose carbon chains from cotton instead of regular wood charcoal and you get a bigger boom if you arrange things correctly (you then have gun cotton or nitrocellulose).
lots of high dollar street cars use alcohol no overheating problems like gas, even using for coolant on gas cars

There are lots of people who have explored the use of alcohol-only as a fuel. Here is one:
https://itstillruns.com/build-alcohol-engine-4696024.html
The site linked below has a particularly detailed but very good explanation of how alcohol compares to gasoline in all aspects of manufacturing and usage in combustion engines.

The GW thing is a hoax in the first place. I am not saying the earth isn’t warming (going by the last weeks it doesn’t look like it) but man has nothing to do with it. Democoms are total fools.

Thank you, Lord, for answered prayers.
Stolen elections it seems have even more consequences than legitimate ones.
This is far beyond Kennedy and Nixon swapping upstate and downstate ballots in Illinois. This is a Massive National and International Industrial-Scale Election Fraud, using nation-wide Mail-In Fraud, nation-wide Voting Machine Fraud with vulnerable tabulations routed through hostile foreign government servers, and with the help of our entire corrupt Political Class and the Nat/Sec Apparatus.
Because they stole the election, Democrats and the Uni-Party are locked into their criminality. They must now keep committing more crimes to cover-up the old crimes. Even if they wanted to, say, stop the voting machine tabulations from being routed through China–and they don’t want to–President Xi would never permit them to stop. To admit there is a problem is to admit they cheated, and that they can never do.
This massive theft now commits them to steal the next election. And the next one. And the next one, and on and on, unless and until they are stopped. It’s Freedom or Slavery. Like Bogey said, “Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.”
Whatever It Takes.
I need therapy. I hate these people and those that voted for this so much it’s not healthy. Every day its in our faces that we suck and they hate us.
Go out and fire off a few rounds.
Pop a few bottles/cans.
Practice your marksmanship.
It’s a great stress reliever.
And good practice for very likely future events.
It’s okay to hate evil. And I’m so mad that I won’t even allow a Democrat in my house. In fact, the only likely Democrats to even come on my property for the past several years are the delivery drivers leaving packages.
If you have friends or family who lean left and vote the wrong way, shun them. Let them know you won’t associate with them and why. Life is too short to tolerate fools and people who hate our country.
There are way too many Americans the past 50-60 years were barn and raised not having a clue what America is all about. They were raised in a convenience having no idea what it is like to build a Country, live through two World Wars, and a Great Depression. What it is like to live without radio’s;, TV’s, electricity, telephones, cars, washing machines, indoor plumbing, cell phones, computers, central cooling and heating. air-travel, freezers refrigerators, dishwashers, modern medicines and the list goes on. I am sure others can add to the list.
There has to be a necessary wake-up call. Trump gave of 4-years to see and feel what it could be like with MAGA. However, way too many didn’t learn or appreciate a thing. Way too many are willing and naïve sheep following evil goats up slaughter house chutes. There has to be a time of; misery, suffering, cleansing and the getting of “mind-right”. The everyday visual symbol of societal decay are all those you see wearing masks. Masks are to Covid as a swimming pool is to a tennis ball. However, it is also a symbol of Communist government control.
The degree of evil control has to seen and felt by the masses. Politicians, Courts, Bureaucrats, Media, Academia has to be “seen and felt” for what they really and truly are…..enemies of freedom, justice, and pursuit of happiness. This is no joke but a destiny for the dumb and spoiled stupid. Can you imagine the acceptance of a fraudulent election for President of the United States of America? ….for us here on this website it seems impossible, but here it is without a Universal uproar crescendo heard by the man in the moon.

WINTER STORM WARNING
ISSUED: 3:37 PM FEB. 11, 2021 – NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
I’m a bit north of Texas in OK. going to be worse here.
Wow, that sounds more like northern Minnesota than anywhere in Texas.
I will keep you in my prayers from now throughout the weekend and into next week.
Not to sound morbid, but please, when temperatures get that low people do stupid things and end up falling asleep outside. Watch for unusual large “lumps” and “piles” on sidewalks, doorsteps, porches, parking lots, etc., and check on them — they could be people who will die if not helped immediately.

I remember this night vividly because it was the night before my husband’s birthday — and a time when we usually see extreme cold dipping-in. 2013 was more extreme than normal, and our house was making loud pounding sounds as the brick and concrete expanded with the cold. I prayed through the night that people and animals would be safe in the cold, since every year people die of hypothermia due to being lost or stuck outside for a wide range of reasons.
Alyssa Jo Lommel is the woman written about in the article. At the time we lived in Duluth and our house was less than three blocks from where she spent the night outside in -17 temps and almost died. It is a miracle and nothing less that Alyssa Jo lived, and last I heard she is doing very well and thankful to be alive.
So please, if you live in the country keep your front porch light on during this extreme cold. If someone’s car dies and they end up walking your light may be the reason they live.
Living every winter here in the frozen north we hear of many people who have lost their life or limbs due to the cold. There are so many heartbreaking stories of even kids being outside and freezing because of freak things no one would have ever imagined happening that happened and people died.
Hearing these deadly temperatures are heading your way I cannot impress on everyone strongly enough how important it is to watch and listen and keep a light on for people whose life you might save.
I was thinking $4 a gallon by Memorial Day, at least.
good thing my Honda has a 8 gallon tank @35+ MPG
I’m thinking sooner….additionally, by December 2021 ‘no lie’ inflation will hit the fan…stand by, it’s a Jimmy Carter redux ala 1976-80. Stagflation by march 2022….lovely…if you have LOTS of cold hard CASH!
I keep a log of predictions from posters here and other thought leaders.
Some are wildly inaccurate and some are spot on.
Maintaining a log keeps me engaged.
Obama-“Biden” likes to help the rich, the oil companies, the major corporations, big Pharma, Hollywood, big tech..
Trump worked for us, he was fighting against all of them to help us.
I love this scathing blog on the swamp creature McD**khead, they are all F**king SCUM!

Just got a call from the RNC…Ronda McDaniel and company looking for money……talked about the impeachment and how the ‘conservative’ republicans needed cash to beat back the liberal hordes of ‘impeachers’…..I asked one question…is Cocaine Mitch and the Romney’s of the world getting my money? Dead silence….then I said NO…and hung up. Felt great!
That was no election.
It was an Installation after the Coup.
These criminals didn’t want Biden.
They could have Installed Hanoi Jane just as easily.
Absolutely Nothing Our Rulers Do is Based.
They are Crazy People.
The believing “Global Warmist” is a most odd curiosity, like a throwback to a very primitive dark age void of all reason and even equipped with Inquisitions. He thinks he is the Earth’s savior. He even believes the Earth can’t do without him; has a passion for his guidance; heats and cools in accordance with his laws and ideology and movements and predictions, yes, he thinks he will watch over the Earth and keep the Earth out of trouble. He scurries about all important like and pontificates and screeches dire warnings and legislates and taxes and thinks the Earth and the Sun care what he thinks or does, or even listen. Isn’t it a quaint idea, like an ant thinking he can steer an elephant. Or like Aesop’s fly on the chariot wheel bragging: “Oh what a dust I raise!” If stupidity is comedy, this is the entertainment of an eternity.
BIDEN’S BOLSHEVIKS DECLARE WAR ON AMERICA
By Howell Woltz – February 12, 2021
Beijing ☭ Biden and his gender-confused Marxists are setting the stage to return my home nation to constant wars and conflicts while making it vulnerable to attack from within – all to benefit its enemies.
By intentionally destroying the energy sector – they are also (intentionally) destroying any hopes of American competitiveness in the world.
This and their so-called ‘green new deal’ are designed to turn the middle class into just another group of poor propertyless proletarians, ripe for harvest into their Marxist paradise.
They’re no longer hiding it. Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden released a 110-page strategy manifesto last year that no one in the mainstream media bothered to read, but it was real.
https://richardsonpost.com/howellwoltz/20571/bidens-bolsheviks-declare-war-on-america/
You will own nothing, and you will beg for more owning nothing. Or else.
The Bolsheviks hated the bourgeoisie (the middle class). This is just Act II
And speaking of stolen elections, Mike Lindell and Steve Bannon are doing an on air discussion of the docu-movie Absolute Proof, as if plays, RIGHT NOW. Stopping the movie periodically as needed to explain more and show more proof. As I understand it anyway.
Sorry, on OAN.
The libs want gas prices high so people will purchase electric vehicles. However, how much will it cost to charge your electric car, how much do replacement parts cost, in particular, the electric battery and how often do these parts require replacement? I haven’t seen these costs laid out yet and that alone makes me very suspicious.
It’s all very expensive plus pollutes the environment and kills wildlife.
Good point, Jean.
They just don’t care to tell us what the real world costs will be… b/c to the leftist Dems we simply are irrelevant… which proves, at their core, the ARE fascists/marxists. The CCP cares nothing about its people. Neither does this fascist dem party.
They know the nation is struggling economically– millions are struggling. What do they do? The double our energy costs and destroy more industries and put 100s of 1000s out of work.
You have to be evil to do this. Its merciless.
It’s gonna take one HELL of a CRAP LOAD of Solar Panels and Wind Turbines to charge 280 million electric cars.
To produce a battery for an E vehicle produces 8 years worth of CO2.The battery life is 6 years.We gave away electric cars(along with the Stanley Steamer)as well as windmills 100 or so years ago because they were NOT fit for purpose.So,why the hell are we going back to using them?……..
Also get ready for you to pay mileage driving taxes either at the pump via communication between your car and the pump or on your taxes.
My hybid Kia gets 50 mpg regularly. (Record is 69 but only once). So what does my state do? Raises tax on hybrids because we don’t buy enough gas and tax revenue on us goes down. You can’t make this stuff up.
I am pretty sure Pete B. has already advocated for this policy.
Buck Fidel is a pedophile child molester and a traitor to this country. The legacy that he wants to be remembered by is destroying the United States of America and handing it to the Chinese. Every policy that the Kleptocrats implement it’s against the American people with a goal to destroy the middle class and enslave it. Their dream is total control who gives a damn about the average American let them eat grass. That will teach those freedom loving Americans that we know better.
It’s time for a new Party if you don’t agree move to commiefornia or hi Tax New York state.. You will see the difference and if you don’t you find yourself at home. I don’t know when we’re going to stop the Democrats our leaders in the republican party are wimps.
We need to turn back to our Lord Jesus Christ ask forgiveness and fight for this nation under the Constitution and our God-given right
It would not surprise me to see it at $5 a gallon under Biden. That is what happens when idiots are in charge.
The left wants that. They think it will save the planet.
Global Warming is really helping my energy bills.
My weather forecast for this Weekend :
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
FEBRUARY Sun 14 HIGH 63° LOW 50° Mostly Sunny HUMIDITY 17%
I don’t blame Biden for the HIGH gas prices.
I read he thought he was ordering butterscotch pudding
when he signed the EO on the KEYSTONE PIPLINE.
This is the past but still lives today, Martin Armstrong rewrote this which is fantastic…
From
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/armstrongeconomics101/opinion/should-trump-run-again/
Now we await someone to say:
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Trump, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Trump. The noble Pelosi, Schumer, and McConnell
Hath told you Trump was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Trump answer’d it.
Here, under leave of Pelosi and the rest–
For Pelosi an honourable speaker;
So are they all, all honourable?–
Come I to speak in Trump’s funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Pelosi says he was ambitious;
And Pelosi is an honourable speaker.
She hath brought many illegal aliens home to America
Did this in Trump seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Trump hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Pelosi says he was ambitious;
And Pelosi is an honourable speaker.
You all seen he received more votes than any incumbent
and no court would ever simply rule on any evidence,
Yet Trump objected and they called this treason and ambition?
Yet Pelosi says he was ambitious;
And, sure, she is an honourable speaker.
I speak not to disprove what Pelosi spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Trump,
And I must pause till it come back to me.
The intention is to destroy the middle class. Same with the covid lockdowns. They don’t want an independent economically viable middle class. They are more difficult to control.
Bingo Puzzled.
Neofeudalism.
The State (king) is all powerful . It (he) rules through his feudal lords (politicians). A weak, small, powerless middle class that can be taxed when the coffers get low. The rest are serfs.
This is the default of all the governments man has devised since he climbed down from the trees.
2.29 in Georgia today. Up from 2.01 January 20th. It is what it is, and you get what you vote for. Me, I don’t drive much. Lot’s of folks have to drive for a living though. The trades, delivery drivers, truckers, etc. It has a bubble up effect on the economy. Batten down the hatches, inflation is coming …
I drive a coal-powered car. I plug it in at night and the electric company burns the coal to generate the “clean” fuel for my car. Yes, my electric costs will go up, too. But the nitwits in the Swamp think, “Oil = bad, electricity = good.”
But what do we do when we need new tires? Oil goes into making tires. And roofing shingles. And asphalt. And a ton of non-gasoline related items. Why bother doing any scientific research when your dogma is enough?
People as AOC doesn’t know the difference of a corn-row and her A-hole. Which in itself is not a concern. The concern is the number of people who think she does and vote for her.
“Higher fuel prices disproportionately hits the working class.”
Exactly.
All the thieves in
philly, Detroit, Atlanta,and Milwaukee cold care less: they’ve got their freebies.
Joe Biden is an idiot.
This will suck Billions out of the economy. Commodities are all rising. Lumber, Copper, Silver, Platinum, Oil all up and all cause inflation not to mention the central banks printing money at record rates. M2 money supply 4.6 billion in 2000 to 19.6 billion in 2021. M1 is now 6619.40 billion. The next great Depression will have been caused on purpose. As usual, the FED is sound a sleep.
Fuel prices going up is a big eye-opener for people to see and feel the difference between a Trump MAGA America and a Biden Communist America. However, it has no direct effect on the Welfares and Libtards who do not own cars but live in Cities with their public transportation.
The real “see” and “feel” will be the inevitable Stock Market crash and all affected by this inevitable eventuality. The real “see” and “feel” for the Libtards will be when their retirement fund value tanks. This may take awhile.
IMO, the present Stock Market value is being artificially propped-up by Wall Street and the Fed’s. The reason is it makes Biden able to re-do Trump’s MAGA without the moans and groans. This will all come later and by then the Communist-style USA will be firmly entrenched in every facet of our lives.
Though you have to keep in mind. Trump won the election. It was the fraudulent election which was accepted, not by you, but by the crooked, corrupt; Congress, Senate and Courts…..perhaps even Mike Pence. It is not the voters who did anything wrong. it is our Government representatives who did wrong.
I am not doubting you Dangodg but I hope you are not right.
A lot of peoples’ savings and retirement success depend on a thriving stock market.
This graphic is funny… very funny!
That pen of Biden’s looks surprisingly like a magic wand ?
I am so sick and and tired of these M’Fers I do not know what to do!!!!
This is for working class liberals, and just wait til it hits $5 per gallon, maybe even gas lines like the ol’ Jimmy Carter days!
Yes, imagine it costing over $100 to fill the gas tank
We are at $3.59 in California, but it is always this way. We do have oil in this state, they just don’t want to drill for it.
This is for any liberal lookie-loos who might be reading CTH.
P.S. enjoy the coming special democrat $5 per gal gas!
For all the people who voted for this China owned dim witted idiot….DON’T SAY ONE DAMN WORD when it costs you 100 bucks to fill up your Prius.
It doesn’t matter how anyone voted, Biden or Trump. What matters is Biden won the election because of a fraudulent rigged Presidential election.
Biden is President because; Republican Senators, Republican Congressman, Republican Supreme Court and maybe even Republican Mike Pence did nothing to rectify the Fraud Election.
I learned many years ago erections have consequences …..
While this is going to suck for everyone, I will enjoy seeing Biden voters suffer some serious pain for their stupidity.
They will love it. They really believe they are saving the plant that way.
I’m sorry but I hope so. I don’t mean for any of you. My heart with everyone who is a regular of this site. There must be pain in order to turn the tide of normies and they will not feel unless it slaps them upside the face. I speak from experience here and understand them.
So when they feel the pain are they going to turn into MAGA people? No and nor will they join us unless we start a 3rd party. How far are they willing to go? That is directly proportional to the pain (financial/physical) applied. They’re not the fighting kind but we need them. We need average apolitical Americans to dig their heads out of their life and their asses. That will come from leftism over reach which we must not intervene. Let them go bonkers.
The guns….different story. No one is coming after them physically. Those pink pussy hat members of the FBI and ATF no better. Some of them may be bad asses but you no knock raid enough doors over gun confiscation you won’t be anything. So they will tax it and try and screw with our professional lives. Just prepping you guys.
We need a Communication engine to supersede the ones we lost. We need it big time with a back up capability. If we can achieve this status we become more powerful than even DT was. I don’t have the answer on how to achieve this but it’s what we need. If the left can use FB and Twitter to start flash mobs we need that capability too. Hopefully that is in the works. I am not sure if it is achievable but if so it will make out movement infinitely powerful.
Luke, your posts are always so spot on, easy to read.. I like that you have never waivered from a 3rd party. I’m with Luke.
The stupidity of leftist ( Biden, Greenie, etc.)policies is absolutely horrifying
Obama, JoeBama, HoBama, it makes no difference. Killing energy independence helps kill our independence so it is among the top 10 items on their “Never Great Again” agenda.
It in not just the gas it will affect. Guess who pays for price increases in gas. We do. I have already noticed prices in the grocery stores going up. It is going to get a lot worse. Trucks deliver product all over the Country and drive hundreds of miles a week to deliver our stores. Who do you think pays for that? What these Dem supporters do not understand is that it will hit them also. Let’s not forget about job losses also.
dumbocRATs are getting what they voted for and that was job loss and his gas prices. I hope they enjoy their futors
