There’s hypocrisy, there’s double speak, there’s stupid decisions based on politics…. and then there’s this level of Biden hypocrisy and stupidity that cannot be adequately encapsulated. President Trump’s energy production policy made the U.S.A. energy independent. We were actually exporting oil and gas to other nations.
However, in the previous six months Joe Biden has: (1) Shut down oil and energy development in ANWAR {LINK} which would increase use of the Alaska pipeline. (2) Blocked the Keystone Pipeline from completion {LINK} (3) Banned energy development on federal lands {LINK}. (4) Shut down the sale of energy leases in the Gulf of Mexico {LINK}. and (5) Blocked energy development in Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Alabama {LINK} … As a direct and immediate consequence, gas and fuel prices have skyrocketed. The price of Unleaded Regular Gasoline is now up over 60% from 2020. Now THIS:
The price of gasoline is directly attributable to Joe Biden policy in his war against oil. However, now that Americans are being crushed with massive prices for gasoline; and Biden is getting massive heat for his ridiculous position; this insufferable administration has the absolute nerve to ask Russia and mid-east oil producers, OPEC, to increase their production. {LINK} You cannot make this up…
Joe, in his Alzheimer’s-decline years, is not directing American energy policy. He was never very intelligent. He flunked third grade, for goodness sakes. He attended U Delaware when it was a commuter college. The state of Delaware was higher-education-deficient, one of only a handful of states without a medical school–the others being undeveloped Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, Idaho , the so-called WAMI states that had compacts with the Universities of Washington and Oregon to accept their pre-med applicants as though they were in-state residents, and charge them the same tuitions as in-state residents. Nevada was left in the lurch, but it opened a medical school in 1969. Delaware was not a very-low-population-density rural state. It was home to DuPont, a leading chemicals corporation. Legally it was the state of record for incorporation for dozens of corporations.
Delaware did not even have a law school, whereas the WAMI states did. Delaware only matched Nevada in not having a law school.
So Joe went to Syracuse Law, a below-average law school. There, he almost flunked out, plagiarizing a law-review article with exact recitation of its contents without a single citation footnote. “It wasn’t my fault! Nobody ever taught me at U Delaware how to write a term paper!” Eventually, he graduated 11th from the bottom of his class, which he later “translated” into “top-half”.
My teacher castigated me for not properly attributing my sources at about the same time, as Biden was dunned, 1965. He humiliated me. He taught me to do sources-of-my-information footnote citations, a lesson I never forgot. He was my 6th grade teacher.
My teacher was Mr. Beeston. He did not give my 10-page paper on Puerto Rico a flunking “F”. He gave my paper a passing “C”. He was teaching an all-small-city-magnet “Honors” 6th-grade class. I had contacted Puerto Rico officials–as an 11 year old!–and their offices sent me pro-PR-tourism propaganda.
I think that Mr. Beeston was a “tough on me”. But he taught me to cite my sources. Looking back, he was a real teacher.
My best friend in high school, whom I considered to be “rich” had an in-home library that included both the World Book Encyclopedia, and the Encyclopedia Britannica Micropedia and Macropedia. When I got old enough to have kids, I bought them for my kids. And the EB’s Great Books, which had works ranging from Greek-translated-to-English Euclid ‘s Elements to Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species.
I believe that Americans should be able to govern themselves. The propositon that there are “highly intelligent” people that should be able to rule everyone else, i.e. reinstall “The Old World Order”, is an abomination. As a “highly intelligant” National Merit Finalist, I do not believe I am qualified to rule anyone. My spouse who is a Phi Beta Kappa member, does not want to rule anyone. We don’t even want to rule our own kids. We let them make their own decisions, even if their decisions are not ours. One of Nancy’s daughters said her mom could slit your throat, before you knew was happening. That is totally sick.
My kids say, “I have different views from my dad and mom, but they were loving, not at all interested in hurting other people.”
I remember when Nancy’s daughter said that. Real classy.
Nancy’s training as a mafia princess.
You must be a racist!
“Joe, in his Alzheimer’s-decline years, is not directing American energy policy. He was never very intelligent. He flunked third grade, for goodness sakes.”
[A quote from ‘Olde Scientist’ = Well said and accurate.]
Biden is right where China and Russia want him. He is likely the most compromised president in history. OPEC will tell him to take a hike.
So, kinda a “Puppet of Putin AND CCP”,….huh?
Projection, anyone!
Biden only answers to Obama.
And Obama answers to his Communist handlers. Biden provides them with another layer of cover. What could be better for a bunch of Communists trying to take control of our country?
This administration as a whole has set a new standard, for incompetence and corruption. I think all administrations have at least one individual that may be incompetent, but this administration much like obozo’s, has no one in any position, that is competent, to include the idiot in the Oval Office.
Incompetence will be their eventual undoing. They and have a criminal, corrupt mind and their weapon fear, but ultimately someone has to fly the airplane.
One wonders how much is incompetence and how much a plan to make sure when fossil fuels run low, the US will be the only country with an abundance. All of the “globalists” who want to save the world saving themselves under the guise of “climate change”.
It’s a long wait for US geology to be relatively abundant in a less drilled world with major provinces still untapped like the huge Russian arctic offshore.
The US had great advantages. We’ve drilled the good stuff, we got good at the marginal resources like shales and deep offshore. The Dems are destroying those advantages as fast as any 3rd world dictatorship.
Austin,
I have wondered over the years if the ‘Greens’, were actually thinking what you propose. Conserve our national resources under some guise, so in a few hundred years, we STILL have resources available. Fossil fuels are the most energy dense materials, outside of nuclear, that we have now. The wind and solar efforts consume so much in terms of energy and various rare earth elements that the US does not have that they are a net negative.
God bless.
There is no such thing as a fossil fuel. These are hydrocarbons. Also, there has never been a time when our Government didn’t project that we would be out of hydrocarbons in a few more years. Since our Federal Gubmint doesn’t work for a living, they don’t understand that hydrocarbons are found only when you work to find them.
I predict that the world will always have enough hydrocarbons and that it is just a matter of willingness to make the efforts required to find them. There may someday be less need for hydrocarbons, but the Government and their useless policies will never be the reason that day happens. Only hardworking people have ever made good things happen. Look at what reliance upon Government to find solutions has historically created.
Petroleum is not the detritus of dinosaurs and plants………it is abiotic and created in the Mantle, not the Crust of the Earth, by hydrostatic pressure….look it up…
Love your enthusiasm. If only Mumbles were that intelligent. Thanks for the chuckle.
The paymasters will be flying the plane.
Congress will just be the flight attendants passing out the snacks.
Diversity and inclusive. Big time.
For them it’s a feature, not a bug.
Actually I think you grossly underestimate the level of Incompetence, in “ALL Administrations”.
Come on, man! They’ve got the smartest propaganda mouthpiece ever, Jen Psaki! / / / ? And that twit is better than all the other idiot’s in President* Applesauce brains regime….
God, I miss Trump!
Former KGB Agent Yuri Bezmenov Explains Our Four Stages – “The New Normal”… – The Last Refuge:
“Stage One: Demoralization – Elimination of American Exceptionalism, fundamental change of national identity, structural deconstruction of foundational principles, elimination of religion. Embedding a new societal design upon the psyche of generations through ideological academia. Peer pressure by elites upon academics and society to convince that prior values were inherently flawed, racist, prejudiced etc. National identity is diluted with aspersions toward historical references. National history is re-written, re-defined, and molded to fit the new intended behavioral model and create the new values.
Stage Two: Crisis – Creation of economic, financial, and national security crisis. Also includes social crisis and breakdown of previous self-evident restrictions on moral behavior. Cloward Piven approach to overloading the system, ie more takers than producers. The crisis produces benevolent leaders who will promise to deliver “things” (Hope and Change) to meet people’s needs through Social and Economic Justice. False illusions that the situation is under control if certain strategic directions are followed (Bailouts, Stimulus, Jobs Bills, Regulations of industry, Unconstitutional Power Grabs, Dismissal of Historical Laws, Changes in legislative processes, Changes in checks and balances of power etc).
Stage Three: Normalization – The uncomfortable feelings of change including losses of freedom are absorbed and accepted. Lost national identity becomes accepted as the norm within the new societal model. A period of national rebranding transition where people are so overwhelmed by the change they become numb and begin to accept a ‘new normal’. This period of normalization lasts indefinitely as the progression is continually advanced and acceptance takes place in small controlled doses. (New limits on behavior, Regulations, TSA Patdowns, Intrusions into privacy, Controls into daily life) These things begin to be accepted as “just the way it is now”..
Stage Four: Destabilization – Unlike the period of “Crisis” the people who helped orchestrate the change are now no longer needed. The new overarching centralized governmental model begins to take control. Leftist usurpers who initially thought they were going to be part of the new power structure begin to realize they were used and manipulated and they themselves become the new enemy. Because they have first hand knowledge of the agenda they are the primary target for elimination. They may simply be disregarded, obfuscated, thrown out, or they may be collected, imprisoned, or worse killed. There is no longer room for dissention. Dissent is only possible within the free system that has now been deconstructed. Therefore the leftist purpose is served once the destabilization is complete. Totalitarian Government takes control…”

10 years ago, Sundance argued we were mid-#3.
Oil is just the lubricant.
I agree we are at stage 3, but most of the armed populace will not stand for further “normalization” of their insanity. We are fighting them at every level.

I can’t believe after everything this country has been through this doddering old fool is going to basically cut us off at the knees. He’s not even the damned President – truth be known. I only hope it’s not too late and we hold on for dear life. Praying for a miracle …
… what?… no images?
Gotta eliminate everything after the jpg.

The US military will have to expand its presence in the middle east again, to protect global oil interests overseas.
And round, and round we go…
A win for everyone, but Americans.
“A win for everyone but Americans”
Exactly the way globalists want it.
We are intended to lose.
Big time.
And as soon as possible.
I think this is the blind-spot for too many Americans; Thinking “they” are there to serve our best interests. “They” are there for only one reason and it is to serve themselves.
Oh, they ARE there to “serve” us, remember the movie, or was it outer limits episode, where the benevolent space alien carried a book titled “To serve MAN”
“Its a COOKBOOK!”
Twilight Zone, you mean.
All according to the plan. All according to the plan…
Indeed.
The society needs a certain amount of good & services to stay in price equilibrium. If you add non-productive workers and recipients they’re not adding anything; you have the same amount of goods & services with more people demanding them. Then when you compound this with the fact that their government job probably makes things more difficult to produce you can start to see why things become much more expensive.
I say start because in a massive society you’re going to have the snowballing effects of market momentum and psychology to contend with also. Plus synergistic effects like adding to the Money Supply. I can’t imagine anything more Inflationary than a government using Monetary Policy to fight its own people tooth & nail.
Your last line is the very essence of – ” Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars “
I just paid $82 to fill my 2019 Ram Rebel. Before 01/20/21 it was $40-$45. Yeah, Build Back Better…what a crock of ?!!!
My son has to tank up with premium for his supposed high performance engine.
So much for travel and weekend trips. Back to this crap again where we can’t afford to go anywhere.
So frustrating!!!
Yes, because we found out it doesn’t have to be this way!!!!!
All those liars, same with illegal immigration and all their hollering and posturing about securing the border and they had that POS picket fencing strewn along there and then scream when President Trump put up an actual secure wall how suddenly it was “immoral” and the GOP wouldn’t make sure it was funded either. All of them players and pretenders.
They can’t pretend their way out of these high gas prices. They can fix it. But they won’t.
It bears repeating: We found out it doesn’t have to be this way.
Agreed. Jobs. Peace in the middle east. PDJT made them all look like idiots after they said for decades that it couldn’t be done.
Its not just gas prices,…remember “the UN-cola”?
This is “the UnTrump admin.”, not JUST in policies, but in results.
The media didn’t cover it, so it didn’t happen but;
Energy independence, so low gas prices.
Wages going up while costs went down.
Main street growing/thriving.
Manufacturing up
Even the FED couldn’t slow the Trump economic train.
And so, we have the exact opposite policies, we have the exact opposite results
Way to go, Joe. That many can’t see whats right in front of their eyes, is sad.
We have the clearest possible contrast between America First policies and results, vs Globalist policies and results, it couldn’t be any starker.
I shake my head every day at those who look right past the forest and look at the trees. They see it happening and say, “TRUMP bad, ORANGE MAN BAD……BAD!!!!!! Orange. Man. Bad.” But, they then turn right around, complaining about the price of gas, food, wearing a mask, home prices, etc. And, if you point to Biden’s policy changes, it goes right back to “I HATE TRUMP!!!”
Yeah, cool, you hate Trump. Cool- he’s not President, you fool. Biden is. Biden’s policies are doing this…..when was the last time you enjoyed those things–“AHHHH in 2019…..during…ORANGE MAN BAD!!!!!!!”
Yet, they can never tell you why he was bad. They only know the magic box told them to hate him over and over again.
It doesn’t affect them and that’s the point. They don’t care about the people. All throughout history this kind of crap doesn’t end well for its country.
They don’t want us out and about, mingling and comparing notes. We’re too much of a threat in groups of one or more. They want us sitting at home, not aspiring to anything, our children choking on their own vomit as they overdose on Chinese- grade fentanyl. The sick bastards in charge rub their hands together in eager anticipation of our hoped-for demise.
Talk of not affording to go anywhere, wait until that new millage tax kicks in. Time to buy a bike powered by you and me.
Wait until you have to wear a mask that measures your CO2 output so that those who exercise pay more too.
As I gas up I loudly complain to the sky, so that anyone in earshot also hears my last loud complaint as filling is completed, Thanks Joe Biden!
That’s a good one, I will start doing it.
🙂
Sticky-pad note, put it on every pump;
“Thx2U, Joe!”
Have now upped my message, putting messages on cars, posts with the words, IMPEACH.
Well done! …I do the same thing…..Thanks Joe!…..and below that ” TW” for Trump Won
If I were you, I’d spell it out. Otherwise, people will think “TW” is your initials.
If you’re going to leave a message, make sure people understand it. If they don’t get it, you’re just wasting time, ink, and paper!
I do the same and our gas prices are some of the cheapest in the country. We all need to do that and keep saying his name.
LOL, I do the same. I also mock out loud when entering somewhere I see masks. Mock. Ridicule. Isolate.

Let’s see, destroy domestic production so you have to beg OPEC for help…
……In happier news, Obama’s birthday is over so private jet fuel consumption should drop.
Barry Soetero. aka
B.Hussein Obama has his filth, his stink, and his slimy scaly finger prints all over his third term. Kamala is going to be POTUS long enough to name Michelle as her VP, then resign–putting the Prime Traitors back in the Whitehouse.
What made thhis family so emotionally ill? What happened to B*den (and his bros) is his early childhood? Where did he get off track. We know all about Trump’s parents, there ancestral history. I know nothing abut Biden. Something is really off in this family, his parents, gparents… molestation? rape? Incest. Something is really really off, imo, and it’s gone down through the generations and is the “norm” for that family. They are a very sick bunch of people.
We were never energy independent We were exporting oil at the same time that we were importing it. However, there is more than enough oil in the United States, Canada, and Mexico that we don’t have to be dependent on oil from the Middle East.
He didn’t just ask for them to up production, he blamed them for the rising prices claiming they made cuts that were solely responsible for the rise.
Buffoonery on steroids. I’ve never before wanted to see a Russian President beat the literal snot out of an American White House Occupant before.
Sticky-note for putting on gas pumps, NATIONWIDE;
“THX2U, JOE!”

First step- ridicule. Then isolate. We need to keep going. Step by step. One by one until all of the toy soldiers fall.
In the 1.5 trillion dollar, so called infrastructure bill they just passed to try in help pay for it, they sold off our petroleum reserves that President Trump had stock piled for some protection down the road. So now we don’t even have that. These birdbrains don’t deserve to be making any decisions on behalf of the American people.
A perversion of comedy delivered in transparent insincerity. First Biden takes away our oil, then he feels sorry we don’t have enough oil. Then Biden simultaneously virtue signals to Voters he wishes Voters had more access to affordable energy. The mental condition known as Double Mindedness, saying one thing but doing another. Try that in any court. Particularly in one of public opinion.
Worst Presidency of my lifetime without a doubt. A mix of stupid with sinister.
It’s all logical, of course. In order for Agenda 2030 and the ‘new world order’ to succeed, the first thing that must be done is the weakening of the US on the global stage. This is now being accomplished through absurd politics in our military, crushing of the economics of the middle class, reduction of our energy independence, ruination of the value of the US dollar, etc. It’s all part of the plan.
Easily related to the “US Citizen” in causal discussion is the Cold Hard Fact that unless it is located in your back yard, it requires transportation to reach you.
Higher Fuel Costs $ = Higher Transportation Costs $ (ceteris paribus)
Higher Transportation Cost $ = The Higher Price at Point of Sale $
Transportation Cost is packed into the price of nearly every good that is purchased.
The price of Fuel affects more than just pumping gas into your car.
This is Obama’s Third Term. Biden has nothing to do with Obama’s policies. It’s all Biden can do is try to read a teleprompter every couple of days, and then “put a lid” on answering questions he can’t possibly comprehend.
Hunter and the big guy must have a new oil business in Russia.
While the cost of gasoline has gone up dramatically at the gas pump, the only “pumps” understood in the Biden household are Hunter’s penis pump and Jill Biden getting pumped because she’s a skank.
I encourage all to check out Greg Mannorino on YouTube. He contends this is not by accident and energy prices will continue to climb. I agree, the military industrial complex will be supported by the FED and our tax money. We are still in the early innings of this game.
Mere coincidence that this announcement comes right on the heels of the latest climate change eco-terrorist bombshell report? Want to be energy independent? Then submit to our to our economy crushing, poverty inducing, green new deal – otherwise we’ll sell your soul to OPEC.
A good sign…internal polling must be devastating on the inflation front for the independents.
Also on the immigration front.
Key is to mitigate the Dominion voting machines.
I know he doesn’t run anything but his mouth, but the man is an idiot.
Obiden is not of sound mind and the whole world knows it. His puppet master has told him to undo everything that President Trump has done that made America great again over the past 4 years. This request unto OPEC should not surprise anyone. It another election steal occurs in November 2022, we as a free people and country are done. Not hyperbole, but truth.
Marionette Joe is not to blame. It’s the globalist string pullers and the Marxist uniparty that’s responsible for this total destruction of our culture and capitalistic way of life. After the damage is done they will all blame it on Joe, but hey they will say he’s suffering from dementia and old age, he gets a pass and the deception continues to the next phase of bamboozling the sheeple.
If anybody thinks JoBama is the one who “thought up” any of these policies–you’re smoking the same crack as “the smartest guy I know” Hunter…..As CTH has posted previously, these are just a continuation of the “fundamentally changing of America” policies under the O regime. I don’t understand how any US citizen can NOT see these policies as “anti-American” as well as “pro war”—as in “we must defend the mid-east”—
This is just the beginning of a period of adjustment as US shale oil peaks and starts to fall. There is not enough increase in more traditional oil sources to make up that loss, or exploration. Mexican production is also falling.
The result will be an increase in US purchases on the World market. The rest of the World would have difficulty increasing its production sufficiently to cope with this US demand and reduce prices at the same time. We are in for a period of higher gas prices, maybe for many years. It will also have a significant affect on the balance of trade of the US which may, along with the increase in US deficit have an adverseimpact on the US$.
Bear in mind that Russia has now overtaken Saudi Arabia as the second largest US source after Canada. If the US continues to be hyper anti Russia then this is an increasingly powerful economic weapon in Moscow’s hands. Especially if Putin is succeeded by a harder line President.
We are all watching the good times since WW2 slowly disappear in the rear view mirror.
The oil industry used to be the most competitive and diverse industry in the United States. I worked in it. I always felt that, while there a few bad actors, nearly every business situation I saw was completely on the up and up. I was able to learn how to provide a very valuable product to the exploration branch of the industry and my companies were always rewarded in kind for supplying that service.
Donald J Trump finally created a business environment that could work for the oil industry and supply arguably our most important energy needs at the same time. He loosened up the restrictions on exploration activity in exchange for companies using the safest environmental methods to produce oil and gas for our markets. I never worked in an industry that could produce more than the US demand for those commodities, but thanks to Donald Trump, many of my coworkers did, and the benefits to our country were felt in every marketplace whose products and services depended upon a ready supply of energy. In other words, a majority of the GDP.
Joe Biden and the Communists working him as their own sock puppet, ruined that situation on the first day after Sock Puppet was inaugurated. We are back in the same soup we were in in the late 1970’s. This is the worst casualty of the 3rd term of President Obama. Get used to it folks. He just threw a huge Birthday Party for himself and invited all of the usual suspects. He obviously thinks he has now ‘transformed’ the United States. He hasn’t, and eventually he will pay for this destruction of our Country. Hopefully before he gets to hold his 62nd birthday boy bash!
Those who are in control of the White House are making decisions that are undermining all of us.
We just can’t call this poor decision making, all of these moves are calculated to achieve a purpose.
If you want to call the purposeful destruction of America bad policy go ahead as long as you understand this all by design.
Those who have taken control are systematically giving/ selling our country to China.
More inflation…..
He wants us to be dependent on them so that the US has no options when it comes to war with China. Once we are again dependent on others, we can be easily controlled.
By following the money I become suspect that Biden was paying off Russia. First, stop the XL pipeline then green light the completion of the Russian pipeline to Europe. Russia’s economy is heavily dependent upon oil exporting.
Remind anyone of Venezuela?
The Biden administration is a living nightmare. And now he has ordered 3,000 US Troops into Afghanistan. These DNC hypocrites love endless wars, no matter what they tell you.
Hey, at least the new POTUS doesn’t make mean tweets! The press conferences are more collegial too… 😉
President Joe Biden has an MR/DD condition. It is getting worse over time. This Mental Retardation/Discognitive Dementia is a progressive condition causing him to lose his cognitive rational abilities and his IQ to go into decline over time. This is why conditions of the United States are getting worse due to his lack of knowledge and control of his policies. He needs to be moved out of office and put in an MR/DD Goodwill program with other developmentally disabled people since his condition over time is getting worse. He has NO ability to be President anymore. Jill Biden is responsible to put him in that program.
