Rising unemployment, massive inflation, “stagflation” and now gas lines… Looks like that recent meeting with Jimmy Carter was about recreating the 1970s.
The White House responds to fuel shortages appearing in the mid-Atlantic and southeast:
“The President continues to be regularly briefed on the Colonial Pipeline incident. The Administration is continually assessing the impact of this ongoing incident on fuel supply for the East Coast.
We are monitoring supply shortages in parts of the Southeast and are evaluating every action the Administration can take to mitigate the impact as much as possible. The President has directed agencies across the Federal Government to bring their resources to bear to help alleviate shortages where they may occur.” (read more)
The statement from the White House is a little obtuse, considering the administration has yet to waive the Jones Act to streamline fuel transportation.
To be fair, the current areas running out of gas are more likely a combination of panic purchasing than an actual fuel supply issue. However, as seen in regions where hurricanes lead to panic purchasing, the lack of fuel can be an issue that cascades quickly.

OUT OF GAS – I’ve watched car after car drive through the Circle K on Massachusetts and Mobile Hwy, only to find they’re out of regular gas — only diesel.

That’s some creepy shit right there.
best spit-take on it I heard was
“Joe and wife embark on new career as ventriloquists”
…if only!!!!
PS’d or not, it’s definitely 2 of the worst who’ve been at the helm. They should have thrown Obama in to complete the worst of the worst in modern history.
I hink that would be great if you could have Barack Obama and Michelle Obama . . . but where? Unless the Photoshop person could make them like little kids, sitting on the floor in front of the Carters and Bidens . . .
one of them could pose the way Amy often did . . . legs splayed out, dress not pulled down in a ladylike manner . . .
that used to really annoy my grandmothers (both)
was this done by the folks at the Carter Library and were any taxpayer dollars used in the production of said Photoshop effort?
Alert healthcare workers: People overexerting from pushing the vehicle off the road.
Awesome. The Democrat Gas Lines are back.
This is all deliberate and many people in this country are involved and soon the chain reaction will occur.
Stores will soon be running out of many things and ya better start protecting your family.

Hmm.. I got lots of TP and aMMMMM0… and cigars and liquor and food.
Are we really supposed to believe that Joe Biden in in charge??? This is ridiculous. Who are they informing – Obama? Not that he’d be any better.
We’re being ruled by incompetents who are only good at stealing and lying.
There are people who have known it to be the case for years before Trump came along and proved their incompetence. However, there is little one can do about it if they have an evil-heart.
Things are presently being done about it quicker than you may think. It is over for them, but they will fight to the bitter end. You would too if GITMO was in your future. Take a warriors attitude because it is what is required right now by every MAGA.
Hear Hear
Could we start a drinking game for every useless bureaucratic word used in these JoeBama Administration’s statements?
There seems to be no other use for all those words used signifying nothing. There certainly is no truth to be found in all those words.
Only if you want to destroy your liver in a week…
Nailed it jeans. It’s a language only they speak. And all but the press understand.

So they are going to cripple the SE by hook or by CROOK.
You will be sorry my little pets for defying your COVID Compliance Masters and by passing Voter Integrity measures.
Don’t forget who planted the ransom ware. Had to be white supremacists; had to be.
Yes for a little satire I believe it was Biden and his partner in crime is Bozobama.
My suspicious mind wonders if they’re trying to hurt DeSantis/FL by making it harder for people to vacation there or at least give them second thoughts about the hassle they may have to get there.
I’m in florida
Filled up today without problems
NW Florida, (Escambia/Santa Rosa), almost completely out of gas. Cars parked outside closed gas stations hoping for fuel delivery this morning.
Colonial pipeline services the NORTHEAST….last time I checked a map this is NOT Florida…it delivers petroleum products from VA NORTH up the Atlantic coast to ME….17 states + DC
Actually, the Colonial pipeline serves a lot of the South East, including Georgia, SC, NC, and more. A major hub/tank farm/distribution center is in Greensboro, NC.
Today I heard about gas shortages, rubber shortages and bullet shortages. Seems like they all came from the same place too.
AG Merrick Garland is going to arrest the entire NYPD since he is sure they are White Supremacists and behind the gas shortage!
“Merde-rick” “Garland” (wonder what his REAL last name is? Sh!tolinsky?) should be deported back to Poland or wherever his import family is from.
The question I have is does Putin know who did this? If so I bet they wouldn’t have tried it if our rightful president were in the WH.
Don’t you just know Putin is getting sick and tired of being accused of everything wrong in America? Wonder how long before he really does something to get back at the demons who are now running this country.
Of course Putin knows. The Russians monitor the actions of US intelligence agencies.
‘The statement from the White House is a little obtuse, considering the administration has yet to waive the Jones Act to streamline fuel transportation.’
Kinda makes one wonder if team joebama wasnt behind the Darkside hack.
“The FBI confirmed Monday that the culprit is a strain of ransomware called DarkSide, believed to be operated by a Russian cybercrime gang referred to by the same name.”
Of COURSE it was the Ruskies! Who else could it be? ?
Russia, Russia, Russia. LOL. These people are corrupt and incompetent. 10% inflation coming soon.
The CIA.
Music videos belong on the OPEN…
To aid the Green New Deal, Gretchen Whitmer shut down the Line 5 pipeline into Canada. The pipeline carries 540,000 barrels of fossil fuels per day to Sarnia, Ont.
This is sales of US fossil fuels to Canada at a good price, when Canada technically doesn’t need US fossil fuels. Canada is swimming in fossil fuels.
Justin Trudeau blocked pipelines from Canada’s West. Trudeau’s economic stupidity makes it so US suppliers can ship to East Canada cheaper than its own West Coast can.
And Whitmer’s stupidity, means more US jobs and business losses.
The US should be taking full advantage of Canada’s obtuseness. Because Trudeau and the premiers there kill so many jobs, the US can sell big to Canada.
However. With Biden the US is going down under the weight of a senile version of Trudeau. And Whitmer is even dumber than Canadian premiers are.
I think this is to advance The Great Reset. Worldwide coordinated effort by the powerful to pound the middle class into serfs.
They must honestly believe that we are too stupid to run our own lives and in fact I remember Bill Clinton saying something to this effect – about how the government would know better what to do with the people’s money than the people do.
You have to remember that they are doing it on purpose. Obama hates this country and wants to destroy it. So far they are doing a good job. They are anxious for someone to start shooting so they can declare Marshall law.
Martial Law
I thought it was Marital Law.
She’s just one of the examples of everything that is wrong in this country……too many stupid people in power.
“The President continues to be regularly briefed….”
Best Joe gets a test on what he retained 1 minute afterwards, could save a lot of time on useless briefings.
The Democrat committee that is really ‘the President’ should be revealed…..inquiring minds want to know.
Looks like we’re getting a sample of “….Build Back Better..”

To be fair, the current areas running out of gas are more likely a combination of panic purchasing than an actual fuel supply issue.
====
This is very true. A good friend of mine drives a semi tanker gas truck operating out of the Chattanooga area. He told me today that supply was NOT a problem. He said each one of the 3 gas hubs he fills up at are full. He said any scarcity is purely a function of panic buying on the part of scared consumers reacting to the fear porn news media.
Real shortages are coming if the Resident and his handlers have their way. Biden killed Keystone. Whitmer shuts down one. It would not surprise me in some Demoncrat somewhere is behind this “hacked” pipeline.
I think same thing. It’s as if hacking the election embolden them and hacking has become a useful tool to govern, thanks to the assistance of the IC. I don’t believe in coincidences, especially when it involves the government.
Scared people do stupid things! Look around!!
It’s toilet paper all over again….???
How much does a gallon of gas cost in rolls of toilet paper now?
it is, but more rational.
i STILL don’t understand the toilet paper hoarding.
covid was never an intestinal virus in humans.
i could understand the chlorox wipes, the paper towels, even the canned and frozen foods.
but toilet paper???
If only we had the Sears and Roebuck catalog in the bathroom!!!
a method of humiliation……
I believe it was because everytime someone coughed or sneezed the snowflakes messed their drawers.
Growing up, President Carter received the traditional Democrat-style instruction in economics, since the Carter family held two dozen families (almost all black) in virtual bondage as share croppers/tenant farmers.
If you visit the Carter plantation, you can see the Earl Carter Commissary, which is now portrayed as something like a convenience store, instead of what it really was; a tool of exploitation, like the “company stores” operated by the owners of coal mines.
And today, President Carter continues his great work at the Carter Center, which spends much of its resources legitimizing fixed elections in other countries.
It’s a familiar theme. Check the ancestry of many families with generation after generation of Democrats, you will find lots of slave owners.
Like the Harris family?
Sawmill companies also had company stores and raped their workers for rent in sub-human shacks. Oh, and those were the poor white Southerners who were exploited by rich white Southerners. My maternal grandparents raised a family this way until my grandmother got my grandfather to buy a house and six acres of land….oh, and she was a sharecropper’s daughter. I am SICK of hearing about black this black that…poor ole blackie this and poor ole blackie that. Those of us who lived it know better. White bondage and servitude were real in the South.
liars all.
So the Carters are really halfling hobbits! Who knew?
We’ve been lied to, especially about our leadership, for longer than I thought.
Turn the pipeline back on Colonial. It wasn’t hacked.
President Biden expressed outrage that the extortionists have not cut in for 10%. FBI investigating….
10% for the Big Guy.
Running out…
At the rate things are going, a gallon of gas will soon be almost as rare as a Biden IQ point.
Why assume sparking panicked purchasing isn’t part of the plan?
A national gas shortage “emergency” sounds like a perfect justification for covid-like restrictions being issued by the DOE and a segue into the much-rumored “climate lockdowns. “
and the Green New Deal
Another example why the pretend president spoke today. Very familiar to those of us who endured the Carter years. Hate to say it, but may be what is needed for more people to realize what’s on the horizon thanks to inept and corrupt leadership. I have no idea of how many various shortages and what level of hurt people need to endure before they rise up though…. praying for a national awakening soon.
It is absolutely essential enough people “feel” pain. Otherwise, they stay their heads buried in the sands of apathy and complacency. Their retirements are another huge pain people are about to “feel”. Home equity is another one. Believe me the is plenty pain for everyone coming right around the corner. People will be begging for Uncle Trump.
Yes they will Fangdog
I’m hoping for massive pain. Unfortunately Democrat voters don’t depend on the economy really. They sit on welfare or work for the government or hop on private jets to private islands with children.
In the aftermath of 9-11-2001 , we were told nobody saw that shit coming.
Intelligence was BLIND — even wit spending 25 to 100 BILLION per year on ” intelligence ”
Osama Bin -Pentagon ‘construct’ was wanted for the 1998 Africa embassy attacks . . . . yet nobody could ” FIND ” him. ???????
Shortly before 9-11 , a CNN camera crew walked into Bin – Ladens ‘hideout’ and interviewed him.
( and SOMEHOW , no intelligence service of USA – Brit – Israel noticed ? )
Bullshit
A study of CIA activities around the world in our name since its founding would turn your stomach….while they rail about “Russian interference” there are few elections around the world the CIA hasn’t at least tried to manipulate…the problems in Ukraine were spurred by western nations’ dissatisfaction with the populace there installing a perceived “pro-Russian Premier” there so they initiated a coup to replace him…Russia merely moved to protect its majority populations in eastern Ukraine and reassume control of ITS historical territory of Crimea…while I am no fan of Russia its actions are completely logical when you think of a nation’s interest in self-preservation
its hard to believe we are a collective half-tank away from this happening anywhere/anytime where there is typical population density.
Let’s blow their minds. Ask them what makes these pipelines less dangerous to the environment than a Keystone pipeline transporting crude oil?
These people are stupid and incompetent. They need to go.
Biden Harris donor Warren Buffet is up $30 + billion in networth since Biden stole the WH.
That guy needs a visit from a well-armed militia.
These “people” are far from stupid and incompetent and over the decades worked as quietly and efficiently as a fine-tuned Nation-killing machine. The Master Plan to control the Wests’ independent-thinking and freedom-seeking citizens was set in motion over 100 years ago—Powerful Hollywood, IC, Federal Reserve—which controls which?
The steady diet of “entertainment tripe” distractions in many forms those “people” continually fed the US (which the majority of Americans gobbled up like candy) after WW2 lulled many to sleep and forgetting who we are, sealed our fate. Those “people” plan in decades. Simplistic thinking? Yeah, yet here we are. Sheeple are easy to herd with well-trained and obedient comrades. Sure miss VSGPDJT in action.
before that…John Dewey…yes THAT Dewey, was a fan of Bismark’s institutional public education in Germany so he worked to install it here…its primary purpose according to Bismark was to educate a COMPLIANT citizenry so Germany could fully participate in the Industrial Revolution…this was all late 1800’s and early 20th century
I think not Shirley.
I recall being told by the media in 2009 that Obama was the most cerebral president ever. It didn’t take long to figure out the man was a grifter and far from the level of a genius. We are in Obama’s third term where every policy implemented is designed to hurt the country.
Just because these “people” are evil and scheming doesn’t make them smart. The fact that they believe in socialism-communism is all you need to know about their intelligence. Any dummy can destroy, and many will do it because they truly think they are doing the right thing.
The vast majority of the people commenting here at the CTH would grind someone like AOC or Nancy Pelosi into powder in any debate on economics, or for that matter, almost any left wing policy they advocate. They aren’t that smart or competent, just connected.
The contrast between these losers and Donald Trump is staggering and there for all to see.
remember Buffet’s BN railways had a fuel shipment crash in Canada about 4 years ago burning down the whole town?
There were more accidents and spills than that, but they were out in rural areas. I recall the videos of burning tank cars exploding like a 2000 pound bomb which were quickly purged from the internet. I recall one in Iowa that sent a massive fireball into the air after such an explosion. There was also a spill in the Columbia river which quickly went down the memory hole. You’re not allowed to say bad things about Warren Buffet.
BNSF railroad executives took a long look at the risk management when it came to shipping petroleum through populated areas. I believe they stopped hauling through Chicago, but that was some time ago, and I don’t follow the rail industry since I retired.
No they are not stupid and incompetent as you say it is by design to bring this country down we need to start reminding people constantly that all of this has a purpose for the left and that is revolution in this country and bring communist into power.
See above
After the gas runs out, the liberals should be harnessed to cars for propulsion…until somebody invents an internal combustion engine that can burn them as fuel.
” Soylent Gas is People !! “

Guess my math was bad at 11:30 (MT) last night. I came up with 5 years instead of 4 years.
I guess people aren’t laughing at the electric car owners now……
Never understood why E85 never caught on. My truck runs on E85 if I could find it.
If the “hackers” can do this to the gas delivery system……..why would they stop there?
Coal and natural gas also have to be delivered to energy plants.
When the entire power grid gets attacked, electric cars will not get recharged, along with everything else.
electric cars just shift the emission ELSEWHERE….they are a bad investment in energy…losses during transmission….losses during charging…built-in inefficiencies when the power is consumed
But they haven’t. I’m talking about now, with the gas shortage.
Additionally, anyone who believes in pure electric car should also be investing in a solar panel array on their property big enough to charge their vehicles via a storage battery bank that the panels charge up during daylight hours.
I’m not talking out of my butt. I bought a 7500 watt, 30 panel array for my rooftop in 2012. For 5 years I had zero electric costs from the gas & electric company. Then we took on an additional family member in the house and I had minimal charges over the next two years. Since last summer we are back to zero electric costs because that person has moved to New England.
I did not require nor buy a storage battery bank so mine cannot charge a electric car overnight. But I could add it for about $3K if I went that route. No, the solar array doesn’t work well in winter when there is far less sun, or when we have long periods of overcast clouds. It’s not perfect. But it works more often than it doesn’t. It paid for itself by 2019, about 7 years. So since then I’m operating purely in the black.
The Prius my friend owns still needs a small amount of gas. I will admit I don’t know why. Only that it does. .. they also can’t use it or won’t on long trips as it won’t make it.
The Prius is a hybrid. IMO, the best combo of electric and gasoline power. I bought new and owned a 2005 Prius for 13 years. It got 48-52 mpg consistently. It was roomy, it rode smoothly and handled well.
It didn’t need to be plugged in. It recharged its own batteries while braking, coasting or going downhill. On flat ground it kept its batteries charged the same way a regular car does.
On really flat level roads, a very light pressure on the accelerator would achieve very high mpg; sometimes the gas engine would stop and the electric motor would keep us going up to 55-57 mph. The gas engine always stopped while going downhill or braking to a stop.
It turned out to be a phenomenal investment. I sold it to my brother in law in 2018 and he’s STILL driving it and loving it. It’s got close to 200k miles and the original batteries are still working well. Original warnings of batteries wearing out and costing $10,000 to replace were as true as Trump-Russia collusion. 100% fake news.
I didn’t buy it to “save the earth”. I bought it to save my money. My fuel cost and maintenance savings were far more than the premium I paid to buy the Prius versus a Corolla (about $7k), although the Prius was roomier than the 2005 Corolla.
I’ve owned every brand of American car made after 1968. I’ve owned Honda, Toyota, Renault, and Nissan.
The ‘05 Prius was “hands down” the most reliable and least costly to operate by a wide margin.
I forgot to write – there are zero mechanical reasons your friend can’t drive the vehicle on long trips if it’s working properly. I drove mine with 2 additional adult passengers, a wheelchair and luggage from Baltimore MD to Albuquerque NM (round trip) in 2017 to see the international hot air balloon festival. No problem. Gas up when it needs it. Which was about every 400 miles with its 10 gallon tank. I generally never go below a quarter tank. So I don’t know your friends problem or limitations.
Yeah! That’ll work! Burn more coal to generate electricity…unless they’ve figured out a way togenerate electricity without coal….
Keep reading and researching for genuine facts and verifiable data.
For example, contrary to the anti-electric car crowd’s assertions, the majority (70%) of electricity in the USA comes from other sources of energy, such as clean burning natural gas, oil, nuclear, hydroelectric, and of course a tiny bit from solar and wind.
Also please read my posts just above yours that address home solar arrays, storage battery banks, and hybrid vehicles.
None of it is a stand alone solution but off-grid preppers use a combination of strategies to generate the power they need.
Please tell me that was sarcasm?
It was not. It was hard reality.
Has the power grid been affected? No.
So at present, electric vehicle owners are not having difficulty finding “fuel.”
No “what if” scenarios are raised in my statement. (They are the tools of those who want to argue using endless speculation.)
‘Something important, and valuable, has been quietly hidden along America’s Gulf Coast. Across four secure sites in unassuming locations lies nearly 700 million barrels of oil – buried underground. A total of 60 subterranean caverns, carved into rock salt beneath the surface, constitute the United States’ massive “Strategic Petroleum Reserve” (SPR).”

It is a six month supply for our military…the one who used to have as its primary mission to protect American interests worldwide

Biden is the New Carter, and we Now Have the Gas Lines to Prove it
https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2021/05/11/biden-is-the-new-carter-and-we-now-have-the-gas-lines-to-prove-it-n378032
Not surprised to see the gasoline shortages. Most people don’t drive around with a full tank of gas and I bet most people in the east when they heard of the pipeline shut-down headed to the nearest gas station to fill up their tanks. Panic buying – just like the toilet paper shortages.
I was there in the 70’s. The gas lines were under Nixon not Carter.Winter ’73-74 gas purchased in N.Y. on odd/even days depending on your license plate. The Arab Embargo was in full swing.The stupid Repubs, then as now let the Demos steal the narrative and lead the country by the nose.Watergate was a kids birthday party compared to the stealing of an election.But it was under Carter that the price of everything really went up.
June 2021 Contract Futures on Unleaded Gas (RBOB ‘21 June Delivery) six months ago (election) price low was $1.29 . Recent days High $2.21 . These are wholesale prices for the 42000 gallon delivery contract. source: Barchart 5/11/21 5:23 am. Wholesale does not include dealer markups, state, Federal, or local taxes, which can in some cases double the wholesale price.
your memory fails you then because there was an “Oil Shock” in 1978 under CARTER where the Arab nations in the Gulf were refusing to sell us the stocks we wanted because of our support for the nation of Israel
Nixon told us to wear sweaters, add blankets, turn thermostats down and ration gas. Carter, also faced an embargo. Both situations caused gas lines, odd/even days of rationing. Carter and Nixon.
BS…Nixon said no such thing…THAT WAS CARTER…get your FACTS right.
You’re correct, Ret. USMC. Carter said to keep the thermostat at 55 and wear a sweater.
Another history rewrite…
You couldn’t be more hopelessly wrong. All of what you described happened during Carter, NOT Nixon. Try again clown.
Guess me and everyone I knew in 73/74 are “hopelessly wrong” and “clowns” too because we all put up with gas shortages and even/odd days of being able to buy gas. And yes, we clowns also experienced the some of the same under Jimmy Carter in the late 70’s.
Take care with your derogatory remarks and finger pointing, they are not ‘Simplewins’!
??? that was funny.
