Earlier today White House Press Secretary Jennifer Psaki falsely claimed a United States President can do nothing about gasoline prices. This is an oft familiar claim by the political left, it is also one of the more transparently false assertions in their arsenal of deceit. First, WATCH:
So what can a U.S. President and administration specifically do?
We have abundant U.S. energy resources. Quite literally the strongest in the entire world.
- Permit the use of preexisting approved leases in ANWAR (Alaska) to put more volume into the Alaskan oil pipeline that is severely underutilized.
- Finish the Dakota access pipeline.
- Re-approve the preexisting energy leases in New Mexico, Arizona, NE Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.
- Retract the stoppage of the Keystone pipeline to permit efficient oil transport shipments from Canada.
- Stop blocking the expansion of coastal oil refineries in Texas, Louisiana and Alabama (regulatory issue), as well as Northwest, Northeast and Southeast Seaboard.
- Continue to develop natural gas as a clean burning fuel.
- Drive Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as an export.
None of this requires any approval from OPEC. Strategically the all of the above approach enhances U.S. national security and diminishes the influence of Russia, China and Iran. Within six months of the above, gasoline will plummet.
Jen o Jen You know nothing. Just covering up the pResident Potato head’s not only incompetence but Evil agenda for the US. I pray each day Lord help this nation
Jen is there to shut everybody up… she’s quite good at it. She’s getting to be more and more brazen, agressive and impolite. Just can’t stand watching her ”press conferences” anymore. What has become of America?
I only see her snarkiness in clips, and even THAT is unbearable.
They want to get rid of cars, so sure jack that gas price up!??
And here in CA … despite the highest gasoline taxes in the USA … the roads EVERYWHERE are deteriorating to the point of being hazardous. It is intentional. The State wants to ruin your automobiles, and to make you hate driving.
Jerry Brown has repeatedly said so. And I am certain Gavin Newsom has too.
My wife an i live in Wyoming. We shop every other month. We live yes 2 hrs for shopping we just replace what we eat?
Our normal cost at sam’s is around 400 dollars. We spent 600 dollars today to replace what we normally eat. We are on fixed income an are very careful on what we spend. Even beef brisket was out of our price range. I make my own corn beef an pastrami. But lucky i have still some in freezer so i left it in the cooler. FJB
Stopping at Sam’s Club here in Chandler, AZ.to pick up a few things. Popped in to top off the gas tank only to be to be told …they ran out of gas.
Harbinger of things to come?
Heard last nite they ran out in parts of N.C. , S.C. and another state or two around there.
Same crap that happened several months back.
You speak for many, many Americans.
The dems have made front page news, as the “party that boos God.” They have removed Him, His Commandments & are destroying every moral fiber this great nation was founded on. Deviant disgraces.
The dems have provided a welcome home for satan, the father of lies. They worship him & do his bidding.
This is what it looks like.
God Help Us.
So how do the dems remove your god from believers? If you believe in one then nobody can take him away? correct? I have never understand this stance. Those that believe will believe no matter what somebody says or does and the same goes for non believers. By taking god out of the schools believers will automatically stop believing?
Single guy here. Weekly feed bill usually averages between $50-60. Lately its been over $95. Gas, water, electric are all up drastically as well. Stores seem relatively stocked up. But I expect that to change as the news media harps on shortages. I think they are making the shortages happen by psychological manipulation.

Woe to him that calls evil good and good evil…………..
The child is being disingenuous at best. Of course that demented old fool can’t do anything about prices; they are set by market conditions. But the wretched market conditions were created by that demented old fool and those conditions can be rectified overnight by undoing all the destructive actions he took in those first few horrid days while he was signing everything put in front of him.
Doubtless, that dizzy broad (from circling back so much) is just marking time until she can get her butt out of that building. But we will be stuck with that demented old fool and his cackling Veep.
Gas to fill Jeep was 3.39 a gallon so it cost us 30 to go to town an fill up on way home total bill was 214 higher than two months ago. Guess we have to stretch our meals out further. Eat less or make meat go further leftovers are soup now save all put it in a pot it is what it is. FJB Wife will make bread at home now for my lunches can not afford to by it in store. We grow turkeys an chickens so we don’t buy those. We always have eggs an meat from them.
Back in the 70’s, I always baked my own bread, cuz it was cheaper th/ any store -bought.
For decades now, that hasn’t really been the case, so gradually, I got used to buying it.
Looks like that could change, definitely.
Problem is, I kinda *like* not baking so much bread anymore!
Seriously. The breads I like are nearly $6.00/loaf
Time to get some sourdough starter going again
My Wife says you need to know about pesent bread it is assume.
Back during the height of the phony pandemic you could not find flour in the stores. TP and flour were the 2 things you could count on not being on the shelves.

Newsflash for you, Raggedy Ann… your FAKE president killed the Keystone XL on day 1 of his White House occupation. And we are paying for Obama’s, er, Biden’s stupidity. You insult our intelligence with your smart@ss remarks.
Our Gov is a peace of shit. He has hundreds of millions of funds but will not use them to support police sherif lawinforcement yet he was told by treasury secritrey he could. Put the bitch on a pole an ride him out on horse with his family to colorado where he belongs. He will not stop mandates says waiting for OSHA. What a joke people are losing there jobs every day.

That’s an ugly thought ??
The only thing the FJB administration wants to do is lower expectations of Americans. He is playing us for fools.
The intention seem to be to lower the US to the same living standards as the“_ _ithole countries.” Nothing else makes any sense.

RAPE, PILLAGE, PLUNDER; AMERICA YOU’VE BEEN HAD!
This article provides just another example of what’s happening in America that reinforces the confession/lessons learned first presented in 1989 (most presented in 1989, rest added during President Obama’s last two years in office) to the citizens of this old soldier/cop/mercenary’s community while serving as their police chief. The only real change in all the years since 1989 is that the average American is even more the victim of the barrages of propaganda being blasted on them by real time communications systems and the actions of corrupt/incompetent politicians, academicians, bureaucrats, and the media. Each group remains bent on driving the masses into nothing short of a world wide feudal system. In light of all the activities of the “Left/Progressives” and many other groups seemingly bent on destroying everything we cops and soldiers have/are ‘supposedly’ spent/spending ours careers and in far too many cases giving/gave our lives defending, can you guess which of the following confession/lessons learned were first presented to the public in 1989 following 26 years in the army and in my third year as a civilian police chief?
Soldier/Cop/Mercenary, Retired
A Soldier/Cop/Mercenary’s Confession/Lessons Learned
1. Soldiers (ground combat soldiers, that is) do not fight first and foremost for their country, the flag, motherhood, girls back home, nor apple pie! Before all else, soldiers engaged in ground combat fight for their fellow soldiers and their unit. Why? Because in every war/police action/whatever including WWII the strategies and tactics adopted by mostly incompetent/corrupt military and civilian managers (notice I said managers not leaders) were/are designed to maximize the profits of the military/industrial/political complex with little regard for the those personnel charged with employing the same. In short, the American soldier has been/is nothing more than a “mercenary” since 1969 with the creation of the “All Volunteer Army (VOLAR)”.
2. The Seven C’s of Leadership according to a survey of 1646 Vietnam era ground combat veterans listed of the order of their importance (according to the vets) are; Candor, Competence, Consistency, Commitment, Courage, Compassion, and Courtesy. The reason the soldiers in the survey chose the word “candor” is because to them candor encompasses both omission and co-mission. To a combat soldier lack of absolute candor, be it co-mission or omission, are equal sins! In short, soldiers expect/demand absolute candor from their leaders before all else. Note: The democrats have proven they are masters of co-mission, while republicans have proven they are masters of omission!
3. The American people are the most effectively lied to people in modern times thanks primarily to politicians, bureaucrats, academicians, and the media.
4. Arrogance plus ignorance equals stupidity (A + I = S).
5. The greatest threats to the American people are the corrupt and/or incompetent politicians/bureaucrats/academicians found at every level of government/academia, and the majority of the American so-called media.
6. The American Profession of Arms and our brothers/sisters in the Blue have failed to protect the American people from all of their enemies, both foreign and ‘most especially’ domestic.
7. There are only two primary requirements to be a career soldier and/or cop in America. One must be smart enough to do the work and dumb enough to take the job.
8. American soldiers and police officers must in addition to mastering all of their professionally mandated tasks learn to accomplish the same with at least one arm tied behind their backs and their vision impaired 50% or more.
9. Most of the politicians, bureaucrats, academicians, and media types I have encountered during my years as a soldier/cop/mercenary I most kindly refer to as; self-serving, witless, cowards. Note: I originally referred to the aforementioned folks as; “Self-serving, witless, cowardly, pissants!” After retiring to the deep woods I dropped pissants once becoming acquainted with the little guys; in that I learned pissants are not self-serving nor witless, and certainly not cowards!
10. After carefully watching the whole of the political class since May of 1960, I can say without reservation that most of the group will sell their souls and our bodies just to remain in power.
11. Want to see what the United States of America will look like if the left takes control of the government? Take your pick: New York City, Baltimore, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or the complete packages; California, New York, Illinois, etc, etc, etc…..
12. If the so-called Progressive movement continues unchecked a number of able veterans are going to be presented with a challenge/decision. Are the American people worth another drop of our sweat and/or our blood?
13. The end goal of the elites and their minions is not (nor ever has been) socialism, communism, or capitalism. The elites of world have used all manner of ideologies, religions, terrorism, brute force, etc. to drive the masses/peasants/serfs/whatever in one direction. That direction leads to one of the oldest forms of human control ever employed in the history of mankind. That form of human control is, Feudalism!

PS Lessons learned 1-8 (along with several others that have been retired from public view due to the ever increasing sensitivity of Americans) were first presented to the public in 1989 while 9-13 were added in President Obama’s last year in office.
Yup, the very first time a politician lied to the people, they should have been hung. We would not be in the situation we find our selves today.
These people won’t take responsibility for their actions while they invent blame for other people’s actions; a true hall-mark of the devil.
Meanwhile Biden goes along tempting the Lord like nobody else’s business. This man’s going to fall in office.
Lord Jesus, forgive me my sins, that will get them saved, but it’s not going to help the rest of us much with the damage they’ve created.
Nope will have no part of it. Our Weapons have alsways been lock in a gun cabnet. No longer they are distruted around house. Soon My wife will carry to barn or outside. I will carry to work an church. Not Playing the game any more You may want to do Same. From Somewhere Wyoming.

.
They think we’re stupid. I suspect many Americans, especially the ones who give them money, and who they see in favorable venues, actually are.
These are the same lame talking points we were fed for decades.
Until Donald J. Trump proved they were lies.
80 million Americans, the ones that voted for Trump are not stupid. The others are. Witness stupidity on display everyday. Morons in there car alone wearing a face diaper. Height of stupidity.
Joe Biden wants you to know that high cost energy is “Trump’s fault”.
Just like Afghanistan fiasco also “Trump’s fault”
remembering the “bicentennial minute” tv ads that were playing throughout our nation’s 200th birthday year . . .
I can just see “lower your expectations minute” tv ads to educate Americans on behalf of FJB!
Berri Soetoro snidely suggested Americans put more air in their tires.
Joey Gagoots wizenly suggested that maybe Saudia Arabia would help.
.
This is great! LET’S GO BRANDON!
Basically, Peppermint Patti just agreed that its okay for other countries (OPEC) to produce crude oil but not okay for American companies. WTH kind of insane reasoning is that? Biden logic – Climate change logic?
Green screen overload…. He doesn’t know which phony set he’s on, or why, or what day it is……
Total deceit!
“… arsenal of deceit … “
Brilliant. SD … you’re the best.
Hard to imagine the cabal of pathological liars, in unison, lying, lying & lying some more. Like a pack of trained seals, squealing in unison. At least they’re cute.
One day we will all stand before the One True Judge, who abhors lies.
We will not be part of a tribe, cult, rabid mob, or political cabal, and will be judged by ourselves for everything we’ve done, or failed to do.
One Would have to be deeply sedated and anesthetized to accept as gospel that this is the president of the United States.
World leaders, as well as the 7.753 billion people (with the exception of the ignorant and ill informed Democrats) on this planet know the truth.
President Can Do Nothing
Well, she got that part right.
Yes if President Trump, unique among all of our recent globalist traitors, can easily establish energy independence, despite the tidal wave of Washington resistance, then Presidents can affect prices of energy. Next, Biden inherited the best energy picture in American history. This condition disappeared because of his actions. If you can f things up, you can also stop doing that and return to the better situation. These numbskulls argue in one breath they can command the climate and change human nature, but this they are powerless to do.
Why after eight years of Ozero with high fuel prices, did fuel suddenly drop with Trump and oil set a record low per barrel price? Perhaps it was the fact that for the first time in seventy five years we were independent from buying foreign oil! Perhaps it was the fact that the very first week in placement, Brandon was eliminating the reasons for just that! LGBFJB! We need another acnronym for Pisannt Psuckie!
ACK! More make-up on the Biden admin WH presstitute pig! ACk, MY eyes, My eyes!!
Everything that is happening is what the illegitimate criminal traitor regime, its Chicom controllers and Gates, Schwab and Soros of the Great Reset want to happen. Gas is prohibitively expensive, cars are few, transportation is rare and travel is infrequent in the brown sh*thole dictatorships of the Third World that they plan to turn us into. You stay where you are and the government either brings dole payments and rations to you or takes you away for re-education or extermination. At first it is the former, but eventually it is always the latter. The only way to stop Oceania was revolt against the party. The only way to stop the Great Reset and the Great Replacement by which the United States of America will be turned into the Peoples Republic of Amafrica is revolt against the regime.
.. no, but he can control climate change…
No exaggeration….We are witnessing “The Fall of The Roman Empire”…and its moving at “Warp speed”..
Why do Jen and Mark Zuckerberg have the same “Cloned” face. Its very odd !
It difficult to explain and answer when YOU were the cause, Brandon!
Energy prices influence EVERY commodity from manufacturing to food and everything in between.
Seem to remember a Bush just mentioning using part of the strategic oil reserves and boom prices dropped. Open back up the oil pipeline the idiot Biteme shut down will lower it.
RAPE, PILLAGE, PLUNDER; AMERICA YOU’VE BEEN HAD!
NOTE: First my thanks to Little Joe. Little Joe, special thanks to you for reinforcing my lessons learned throughout your time in politics. Oh, do you remember the time we listed you, Billy Carter, and a whole gaggle of politicians as subjects in that international drug trade investigation? Hint, it was during your first term in the Senate. Why don’t you impress the folks by explaining the term, ‘Green Lining?’

Crazy to think I was paying a little over $2 for premium gas a couple of years ago.
Lets see, what punishment did Tokyo Rose get. 10 years in prison and a 10K fine. This red neck menace should get the rope.
Psaki is perfect spokesperson for Biden.
Confidently provides irrational/false responses and moves on to next question.
Biden et al could not handle in depth interviews as their policies harm US citizens and we all know it.
After approving leases all over the U.S., Trump filled the strategic reserve to the brim and then just had to threaten opening it up when the Arabs and Russians tried to push back.
Biden can’t figure out which side of his diapers are the front and which side is the back.
