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.
Tell it to Trump!
These people are full of BS.
They are useless for the American people. But not for the globalist. They’re very useful to them.
And we endure their transgressions and stupidity.
These pieces of human waste want to starve the middle class. Any of this total bs green new scam garbage is nothing but a transfer of wealth
Their whole agenda is about transfer of wealth. From the people to the elites.
That and no where near as smart as President Trump!
Biden Regime Press Secretary also claimed Biden didn’t need to go to the border— so have no expectations.
He can just inflict his policies to destroy any security we ever had on the border and flood our country with illegals.
Time for the States to exert their authority and powers as not relegated to the federal government by the US Constitution.
Same for the people against the tyranny of local, state, and federal government and their myriad of illegal alphabet agencies.
Yes, yes, and yes. Citizens (real citizens) unite and force local officials to defend We The People of America !!!
There is no border.
Which one is worse? Biden, who hasn’t been to the border since 2008, or Harris, who still can’t find the border, even with a full complement of Secret Service agents!
Even better, they released a statement today that Biden visited the border in 2008.
Yes, that is thirteen years ago.
With these hyenas I think it best to “crater” any expectations.
Barack Obama said he needed a magic wand.
Who knew that he meant he needed someone like President Trump LOL
Huh. I guess they’re right;
Superman is gay.
Little Red Lying Lips.
Demonrat spokesliar par excellence.
What she really means is that this is all going to their plan. Destroy the middle class.
Then the rest of the country.
CCP for the win is what they’re shooting for.
Goebbels and Pravda concede “The Circle Back Bitch is the GOAT”.
All these wordsmiths are grossly incompetent. High gas prices is the Marxist goal to destroy the fossil fuel industry and ram green new deal imbedded in the build back better bill down our throats. First they must destroy it then rebuild it.
The more I see the more I believe that Trump knew it all election covid these fish took his bait exposed themselves, he played them for what they are Haters Marxist.
I’ve always said the best contrast is Obama then Trump, then Obama 3.0.
Even the more “special” people can see the differences. I think the “independents” and a lot of center/center-left non-whacky dems can see it.
Yes, they can. March forth independents. Even some of those whose intellectual development was ‘tarded somewhat by brainwashing marxists. I have seen at least one awakening among extended family and others are questioning. Facebook is doing a marvelous job of protecting the weak minded from external threats of micro aggression by us neanderthals with unapproved opinions.
Love me some Catturd. Never get enough of it!
Peking Biden will go down as the absolute worst president in our history:
Corrupt, treasonous and decrepit.
He will go down as a radical Marxist who tried to destroy our Nation. The jury is out on whether he succeeded, but I put my faith in the American people to defeat the DemoNazi Party and their fundamentalist transformation of our country.
America – love it or leave it!

The modern Left think they are anarchists.
They pretend to believe that if society comes crashing down, something beautiful will replace it.
That’s what defund the police means, that’s what build back better means, that’s what the great reset means.
Revolution as a means has become revolution as an end. And like global warming, or transgenderism, they all pretend to believe this and none of them do. Such a dangerous game.
The apocalyptic Christianity in this is obvious to everyone but a leftist.
Time to deport a certain Kenyan and all his spawn to another continent. (after a very intrusive and anal communication and financial exam). FJB and FBO.
Of course, if one of the journalists of integrity that we are familiar with here at CTH, were allowed in the room to ask questions, half of her defection couldn’t stand.
Journalists and news anchors are among the dumbest people in the country. You’re asking for what they are incapable of.
This suspicious cat opines this is purposeful, part of a larger plan to suppress resistance and further divide and isolate the citizens of the country.
Dunes2021: The cat is right. Denying Americans of their rightful energy independence is another attack on US sovereignity. It won’t work.
She has the same smirky face that Nellie Oleson had on Little House on the Prairie. One good slap is all I want.
Finally! You nailed it, Betsy. I KNEW Piss Ah Key reminded me of someone, but I couldn’t figure it out. Thanks!
Subsidized home heating oil for the recipients of snap and housing subsidies is justified buy destruction of the working class of America. Rising prices of oil and food don’t factor in on inflation. There’s plenty more of these policies to go around all aiming to take out the middle class.
The abandonment of the truth of cause and effect is a huge red flag to the abandonment of science by the Left. Dogma rules them, not science.
The abandonment of the Enlightenment truth of rationality leaves humanity adrift in a sea of subjectivity.
I despair at the thousands of American oil workers who, after hearing Biden and Kamala shout for months that they intended to destroy the oil industry, still voted Democrat.
The most simplistic economic truth, that supply and demand drive pricing, is rejected by leftists who regard their god of government as being above it all. Wage and price controls will very shortly be proposed by the Biden administration. Bet on it.
The love of abortion drives those selfish people into making leftist choices every time.
Maybe someone with Twitter – I recently deleted my account – could ask Peter Doocy ask Psaki to explain why Jake Sullivan needs to ask OPEC to help with our energy problem when Joe Biden could just reverse the things he’s done since coming to office? Just lay out the bullet points in Sundance’s article. If anything, I would love to see Jen Psaki’s head explode trying to answer that question. Where’s Jim Acosta when you need him? A conservative version of Jim Acosta, not the real one, he’s a horrible human being.
All expectations must go under the limbo stick.
First he spreads his fascist limbo feet
Then he moves to his Mussolini limbo beat
And goes on like Bozo the Clown some more to mumble and bleat
Biden does his limbo and makes America very sick
Biden goes way unda the IQ limbo stick
Beautiful said, thank you offcoursention.
As previously posted… gas producers are not your friend. Anything that prevents competition and barriers to entry for competition will drive up prices and increase profits. Why do you think the Louisiana senator is such an anti Trump rino.
Jennifer Psaki is as dumb as a box of Rocks…..
I think she’s as nasty as a death adder with an attitude.
PSAKI needs to go find a real job and then get back to us…the working stiff(s) in this country have had it with people who don’t know a DAMN thing about anything except to “spew bile” ALL over the place.
If these people told the “TRUTH” they would probably go up in smoke!!!
Here in the northeast, about 30 miles west of Cape Cod,diesel was 1.99 a gallon a few months ago.
Now 3.49.
Joe Biden did immediately do something about gasoline prices by restricting supply. The previous President also did something about gasoline prices by increasing the supply.
The redhead is a bald-faced liar.
I miss President Trump!?
I don’t think the globalists are happy at all. The current bunch of doofuses, squatting in the WH, are mucking up the implementation of their mito-perfect plans and threatening the credibility of the whole project. Billions of dollars of ‘investment’ in the left, to act as the enablers of their plans, is at risk and one thing these people hate more than losing money is losing power.
Unfortunately the left is too stupid to realize they are lying!
fanbeav:
I lived through the gasoline shortages of the 1970s.
The Arab members of OPEC cut off gasoline exports to punish America for supporting Israel in the 1973 war.
Straightforward, right?
The TV news crews had an easy time finding people (Democrats?) who insisted that gas prices had suddenly gone up because oil companies had suddenly gotten greedy.
I no longer watch TV news, but I’m sure news crews are having an easy time finding consumers (Democrats?) who blame the sudden surge in prices on corporate greed. The fathers and grandfathers of these Democrat sheep would be proud.
I don’t believe a word this sorry excuse for a Human has to say. I wish nothing good for her life.
The idiot red head can lie all she wants, but when the human vegetable and still fake president, slithered into the White House, gas prices were low. When the vegetable canceled everything the real President had put in place to keep gas prices down, to include oil independence, gas prices started going up. Jen, you and the illegitimate president are both full of crap ?. Let’s go Brandon.
She is absolutely right, no president sets gasoline prices. The market sets them and they have decided that producing it is going to be much more expensive under the policies of this regime then it was under the previous. That they actually think they can prod Saudi Arabia or OPEC to open their spigots to help drive down prices is astounding. The higher the better in their opinion. They struggle to keep production down and prices up and now they are handed supply constriction on a silver platter by the former largest exporter in the world. They are loving life.
I remember when Gore was running and gas prices were too high and he bellowed “I call on President Clinton to open the strategic reserve” and so of course – since this was all planned – that’s what BJ did.
I don’t know how this “press secretary” can face the mirror. Dang – a national liar! But I suppose after Susan Rice lying to us all….not to mention so many others…maybe lying is part of the job requirement.
Didn’t Obama say something like “we can’t pump our way out” of oil shortages? And then we did just that with shale oil and fracking. They even had a phrase: peak oil.
I wonder if this is a non legislative way to implement our “green new deal” of serious carbon reduction. Because it is just so darn hot and the ice caps have melted and everything. Who needs heating oil when kids have to look at encyclopedias to know what snow looks like.
The Marxists hate free, public mobility. Low energy costs encourage it and creates a travel-intermingling that threatens their crackdowns. They are THRILLED with the prices.
The Green New Deal would require permits to travel outside your home area. Taxation based on miles travelled is coming.
The private automobile is their ultimate target.
Gee. I go look at Gateway Pundit and my joke about heating oil being unnecessary because of global warming is official policy.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/10/clown-show-us-intelligence-agencies-release-new-report-dangers-global-warming-just-weeks-losing-afghanistan-taliban/
The Defense Department, Homeland Security, National Security Council and Director of National Intelligence released a report on Thursday detailing the severe threats of global warming on the United States and the world
All aligned with the Democommumist Party agenda. Sundance, somedays I wish that you hadn’t taught us the ways of DC. I need one “ignorance is bliss” day a week.
It begs the question: Is Psaki really that stupid or just insanely brainwashed??
She’s a Zuckerberg clone organic robotoid with defective brainprogramming
All of establishment DC is fine with the constant gaslighting from Jen Psaki. Silence by the GOP is complicity as well.
China First Joe claims he has spent more time with Emperor Xi than any world leader. For once I believe him.
Using the Kim Jong Il “unremitting efforts”.
81 million votes –
My Silky Pedophile.
Cooper seems nervous, like Biden might find a quarter in his ear at any moment.
Putin is so much more intelligent and so much more enlightened than Biden.
Lower your expectations by Jen Psaki.
Raise the Trump flag by those who understand Ron White and how his most famous phrase applies to Psaki, Biden, Harris & Co.
It’s Like Slow Joe is trying to cripple our economy and crush the middle class, or something.
Congress will call in all the oil executives to hold a hearing on why gas prices are so high. They always do.
And PDJT would get them all in a room and solve the problem.
I feel sorry for the workers whose wages are going down as gas prices endlessly increase. For all those workers that President Trump provided so much for them once MAGAnomics kicked in to have it all ripped out from underneath them in short order is very sad and it’s going to getting worse.
Natural gas prices in Europe have gone up 500% since January.
Between Co-Vid and freezing to death, the problem of paying for the pensions of the baby boomers is covered.
Leftists want to make a lifespan of three-score and ten government policy.
Soylent green is people!
I suspect Ms. Psaki is actually a pretty smart person. It is a pity she has to impersonate an airhead.
No.
She knows a lot about a very little.
She does not spend her time reading books from the great canon of western civilization.
She reads briefing papers. Nothing else.
It’s time to “reimagine”the policies of the Xiden regime.
4 years of this idiocy will mortally wound our republic.
Pretty sure that’s their plan.
As my mom would say, “Can’t means won’t.”
Or in this case maybe it means; ‘Can’t means Woke.”
this women is nothing but liar for fake president Joe Biden,
when president Trump was in w/House I never pay over $ 3.00 gasoline,
look at that now everything is so expensive,
porpaganda socialism lib’s should be very happy right now,
our country is really going wrong way again just like it Obama years,
2022 we must be vote for GOP Congress and senator’s, and we must take over our country ,MAGA and America first,
This witch told us Benghazi was all about a video, too. She’s in this up to her eyeballs. She knows the punishments for her crimes. They all know!
Its not only Democrats, who claim POTUS’ “can’t do anything to lower gas prices”; administrations of both parties, for many, many terms have said “America must reduce its dependance on Foreign oil”, as a popular sound bite, and then done NOTHING.
Cause they were all TOOLS; Avatars, and placeholders, who ran for POTUS, cause it seemed like a good gig, and they did what their advisors,…advised.
And their advisors were,…IDIOTS.
As a note to a comment I see MANY times on here:
“IS anyone doing ANYTHING? We’re no better than Australia is!”
Bull. Right now people ARE responding. You don’t hear tens of thousands chanting “F (insert prime minister names)” in Australia. They are doing it in GROUPS, EVERYWHERE in the nation, now. D.C. to FL to AK.
It doesn’t happen overnight for many, folks. It didn’t EVER. But, resistance IS growing. Don’t tamp out the cinders and huff at the smoke, whining.
KEEP pushing. The eyes ARE opening. It IS happening.
But, just imho and something that only I (I admit) thought needed said. Have a GOOD weekend. It’s nice out.
True the Patriots are winning and things are speeding-up. The “whiners”, doom and gloom remind me of Front-runners at sporting events. They Boo their team when behind and cheer like hell when ahead.
Trump and the Patriots have already won. As it is with a game of chess. The winner has already been determined but the game is still played in the hopes of a mistake.
