A comprehensively incompetent U.S. Energy Secretary, Jennifer Granholm, has the audacity to say that Biden’s administration has no responsibility for gas prices likely to reach $4/gal, and Americans this year are almost certain to pay historic amounts for home heating oil and natural gas.
Everything in this soundbite from her interview with CNN is stunningly false, manipulative and misleading. The U.S. has an abundant amount of energy resources, likely more oil than all other OPEC countries combined in Alaska alone. The issue is a current administration that refuses to extract oil and natural gas because they are purposefully and intentionally intent on destroying the U.S. economy under the guise of climate change.
Granholm admits that gasoline is likely to go beyond $4/gal in the national average, and home heating costs are almost certain to crush Americans this year. Infuriating to see such willful stupidity go unchallenged. 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.
- Reapprove 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.

Coupled with a truly incompetent Secretary of Transportation, this new Dynamic Duo is causing grave damage to the country. Perhaps what they are doing is actually intentional.
Let there be no doubt. It’s on purpose
Oh My, no perhaps to it. This is intentional.
Cloward-Piven. They hated technology in their mass murdering liberal insane asylum of the Soviet Union. They used “Schlock Science” Lysenkosim, and everything was done the worst way and everything was upside down, like they are doing here
Colkitto: You just described Columbia University, Prof. Cloward’s and Piven’s then home, perfectly.
That’s also known as the “Frankfurt School in Exile” Cultural Marxism, one of the main components of the evil destroying our nation and world my friend
Tell me one thing they would be doing differently if the destruction was intentional.
un
It is
Folks,the green new deal is covid on steroids.a pathway for jack booted control of the peasants.
in terms of chemistry and physics,the carbon cancellation project makes no sense factually.the left who loves the “science” wouldnt recognize the periodic table if they stepped on it. (Perhaps it would be a confusing chessboard in their mind).
the money that the left and wall street is making on this ponzi scheme is enormous.that is what it is all about and they get the added bonus of garroting the people.
so to be clear,when n.c. put the green energy credits against my objections,i was pissed.but if govt is gonna step on their crank why not get even.these credits have an irr of about 25%..so the moral is the left (and they leave all of wall street in the game) makes tons of money and the middle class takes the shaft.
the green new deal is the most dangerous part of their plan.be prepared for bank busting energy prices and rolling blackouts.it is all coming your way as part of the john “lockjaw” traitor kerry and al gore gameplan.dont count on them to be cold or angry about gas prices.
if you need to see through the lie,read unsettled by koonin (ovomit energy guy),the moral case for fossil fuels,epstein, ot any of schellenbergers books.
hold onto your ass and stay armed.its gonna be a rough winter
You can tell it’s intentional because, like all climate, OSHA, environmental policy in the West, it hamstrings US and European industry, making it harder and more expensive to operate, moving ever more of our production to China, whose Carbon output tripled from 10% to 30% from 2000 to 2019, while US and EU Carbon declined slightly from 15% each. While these idiots pretend these policies will save the planet, and are the cure for our higher energy cost, they just accelerate Carbon emissions, while destroying our economy? Neither party to the interview considered or acknowledged in any way why reversing PDJT’s signature energy independence achievement directly led to these prices. They hide the obvious intent.
Of course it’s intentional!! That’s why Trump always said, “In reality they’re not after me. They are after you. I’m just in the way.” He knew and he knows of what he speaks. They are destroying the country, the middle class (which is the country) on purpose!
These communists need to hang …..all of them
This is purposeful destruction
And that is precisely what “you do about it”.
It’s not rocket surgery.
Commie houses make for nice kindling.
What you need is an infrared laser just powerful enough to ignite wood or shingles.
I think the idea is to expand the U.S.homeless population by any means necessary. Get woke, go broke is the plan, not the “unforseen “circumstances!?
First off, your thinking that the current admin would even want to fix the energy supply issues is totally wrong. They purposefully want to destroy U.S. energy independence as a means of removing the U.S. from the world stage as a major power. Communists cannot have anyone capable of destroying them and remain safely in control.
Nothing will change and in fact will get much worse, so long as this bunch remains in power, simple as that.
That’s why one of the first destructive things Biden & the Bolsheviks did was turn off the Pipeline
Agree!
Guess she doesn’t think that we Americans don’t know that.
Even a lot of the dumb as a box of hair Liberals/Democrats know about shutting down the pipeline .
She is just a DC bubble brain.
They want global socialism. Look up the Fabian Society. They’re behind all this.
Our financial devastation is a key component of their green scheme.
Is there anyone with competency in this administration? This administration and Cabinet level is a disgrace to America!
A criminal cabal will only attract the worst. No respectable person would want to be a part of this train wreck when the day of reckoning arrives. That’s why they are all Obama B-list acolytes and true believers.
It is ok, whenever I pay for gas and heating bills, those money will come back to me as dividend check. It is still not too late to invest in Oil & Gas companies, they are the only sector that isn’t bubblicious
Well good luck with that. Let’s see how that works out by next summer. The primary cost will be in taxes not profit.
In case you haven’t figured it out yet, the stock market is your enemy. Who do you think is pulling the strings on the puppets we call “elected representatives” in Congress?
K street in DC is rife with lobbyists. A lot of them are former denizens of the DC swamp. and they all work for Wall Street.
That’s why they hate Trump. He couldn’t be bought by them or their proxies. And they hate us as well. The middle class.
The doers, the earners the backbone of the country. The American Dream ain’t their their dream. And they’re willing to sell out this country to the highest bidder if it means they get to keep theirs and we get the shaft.
It’s a big club, and we ain’t in it.
It’s not so much what they “can do” as what they’re deliberately doing.
Jennifer Granholm is a dual citizen from Canada…..She’s a Lawyer…A graduate from Harvard Law…..What could possibly go wrong…..I keep telling you people about Lawyers…Through in Lawyers from Wokeness Harvard, Yale, Columbia and you get the picture….Again, the destruction of our Republic can be overwhelmingly attributed one profession….A profession that virtually goes unregulated……
And why would one be surprised that those whose jobs are to interpret the law end up running things? The same benefits accrue to shamans all throughout history who interpreted the will of the gods, to make it clear to the vasty sea of ordinary folk, don’t you know.
Shakespeare was right in saying, ”The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You hate us until you need us.
True. Life insurance doesn’t pay if you die as a result of an act of war. So lawyers and insurance companies must have decided Covid was not an act of war
Perhaps one reason the puppet regime immediately kneecapped domestic oil extraction was to save the oil for China and the cabal, when they assume control of the US as a vassal state after it collapses under the puppet regime.
Oil, other natural resources, the world’s largest and most developed ag and food production systems… what a fantastic vassal state we will be for the new masters.
The Chinese and Cabal will need lots of slaves to get those resources .
Their will be the unvacinated left over for their use.
I for one won’t be in the Kamps.
Wolverines !!
I have a new slogan “Hey Joe, Turn on the Pipeline”. Now feel free to adjust it, to make it better for us to use against the Bolshevik-Democrats and their evil agenda
“Hey Joe, go take a swim in a pipeline!”
<I have a new slogan “Hey Joe, Turn on the Pipeline”. Now feel free to adjust it>
No slogan…just a parody:
Neil Diamond Version
Turn on your heartlight
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make a happy glow
For all the world to see
New Version
Turn on the pipeline
Let’s refine wherever it goes
Let it make an ample flow
For all the world to see
But isn’t our greatest military ever going green now?
Everything will be solar and wind powered and this will surely free up a massive amount of fossil fuel and the price of all kinds of it will surely plummet.
Or maybe its America’s military that will plummet?
Something is bound to plummet.
Going back to sail boats if the greenies get their way.
AOC will demand row boats since sails might block the wind blowing towards a windmill.
All of my sailboats are FRP from petroleum products. We are talking wooden boats and cotton sails. Navy @ 9 knots.
Is she some sort of an ELF? Those EARS!!!!!
And nothing between them but air!
Yea she is a piece of work, had to endure 2 terms of her in Michigan. Fortunately we had Republican State Reps so they were able to slow down her agenda.
are all a deliberate controlled demolition of the current global order, executed for the purpose of bringing about the New World Order.
To achieve this they are utilizing the Hegelian Dialectic: Planned order from planned chaos: antithesis – thesis – synthesis.
Like a Phoenix, they must burn old world before they can purify and revive it from the ashes.
The Big Club: the CEOs all sit on each others boards and attend the same meetings (and pizza parties) at Davos and Bilderberg. What you’re witnessing with the world falling into ruin is their global reset plan in action.
Brace from impact.
Don’t think that they are into pizza parties. Think more like salmon, lox, roe (caviar), etc
Unless we are talking about Jeffrey Epstein Express Delivery.

She is the 2nd worst Governor in MI history. She was first until Whitb@#ch got installed. MI not exactly a huge energy state. So she was the perfect pick. No doubt a reward for helping Bidan win, er steal, the election in MI. And yeah, her and Buttplug doing it on purpose.
Hurrah Sundance!!
I think it goes back to JoBama’s spouting off about how stupid and gullible (my interpretation of his words on Finance) – they think we are too stupid and ignorant to understand what is going on and how things work. Thanks to Sundance, we know more now than we’ve known in the past!
After her “hysterical laughter” interview the other day it was to be expected that she would be on Sunday to do damage control. Not much better.
We really need to stop using the word “incompetent” to describe the Biden administration. They don’t do stupid things because they’re incompetent; they do stupid things because they want to cause chaos.
One of the little-noted good news stories in American society is the decline in the number of house fires, and the resulting deaths by smoke and fire.
Firefighters now get so few fire calls, that they respond to medical emergencies for something to do.
It used to be routine in wintertime to read newspaper stories about families, almost always poor families, that were trying to warm their home with a wood fire or an electric space heater, and they perished in the night.
As the price of gas and oil increases there will surely be an increase in house fires. There will also be an increase in elderly people made sick by living in a cold home. As with Co-Vid, the Left’s campaign against the elderly is most sinister.
Global warming is not the great danger. Cold is what kills people.
Dumping Covid people in Senior Citizen nursing homes killing thousands of our beloved elderly, to ratchet up the casualty numbers and kick off this Plandemic/Coup/Reset is what all the Democrat Governors & administration involved should be facing criminal charges for. Cuomo should be the first of many. We must not let them get away with murdering them
I lived without heat five winters straight not ten years ago. I couldn’t afford a new furnace. I heated with the stove in the AM when I got up to feed at 5 and when I got home at 6. Elsewise there were space heaters in the bathroom and in my son’s room that only ran for showers and bedtime.
Being poor in America is cold and dangerous.
Cheers friend!
“. . . Biden’s administration has no responsibility for gas prices likely to reach $4/gal, and Americans this year almost certain to pay historic amounts for home heating oil and natural gas. . .”
The Biden presidency, or whoever is actually in charge, continues on its race to the bottom of political support. You have to just wonder who’s increasingly tiny choir these people ar preachin’ to? For my part, I have to wonder just how many ardent “climate change activists” actually support the Green New Deal’s not-very discrete intent to first wreck the economy so a socialist “new” society can be built? For that to actually happen you’ll have to have a police state because we can count on 50% of the population simply refusing to go along with the changes.
But before that happens the Biden propaganda is going to have to convince the voting public that the cheaper $2.00 gas prices under Trump don’t at all relate to the $4.00 gas prices under Biden. That Big Lie is just to obvious to ignore. American voters are definitely (and defiantly) going to connect the dots and the results of that calculus is definitely (and defiantly) going to show up in the coming elections.
Note to Progressive propagandists: Don’t pee on our legs and then try to tell us it’s raining . . .
“Hey Joe, turn that Pipeline on!”
So are the demOCrats looking for….
an Elysium/Idiocracy hybrid society….????
Nothing that “can” be done,
or is it “will” be done, now that they’ve suckered decent Americans into a deeper abyss?
Secretary Granholm, I call on YOU to increase supply with our domestic supplies. The Biden administration intentionally and maliciously reduced supplies form our own producers. YOU are the problem, not Russia, not OPEC….you.
Granholm speaks of recent volatility as being caused by external forces when it is she and the Biden admin at fault…they IMMEDIATELY moved to reduce domestic production the very first day of obidens installation as White House occupant.
Lysenkoism
And remember, although they like to tout green energy, it was the Obama administration that zeroed out funding and US involvement in the ITER fusion reactor.

Production of energy would cause prices to fall, but that would not be the sole reason for prices to fall.
I recall there being so many energy related things being done under President Trump that it also had a psychological effect on the world market.
Keystone, ANWAR, exploration on federal lands. The US doing so well with production, it didn’t matter if Iran were shut off. All of it had a good effect on the market.
Remove product from the market, and it will have an effect on price. Tell the world you have no intention of getting product to market, and it will also affect price in the end.
this women is liar and too stupid.
I used to live in Alaska, so I can live in a cold environment. But I need to keep the pipes from freezing. That is my minimal heating requirement. The communists are subtle and smart.
“The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.” – Vladimir Lenin
64 degrees all winter in our house (while we are awake). Even lower at night.
Yup. Just enough to keep the pipes from freezing. I have extreme cold weather gear and sleeping bags, but I have another advantage: A California King-Size waterbed. Crank up the heater a notch and it’s like sleeping inside of a toaster.
They want us to riot so they can send in the troops amd suspend the constitution
Then ambush and destroy. Remember the warnings of our zek brothers from Soviet days. Do not ‘burn in the camps’ with regret for having failed to strike terror in the heart of the oppressor.
They’re determined to force as many homeowners as they can into foreclosure.
You watch. Real estate taxes will go up. That federal real estate tax will happen.
Theyre going for broke. Literally.
Oh, but look, she’s wearing her “smart girl” glasses today so now we have to take her seriously! She is probably quite aware of how utterly stupid and unlikable she looked in that clip of her laughing that dropped a few days ago so now she is out on the Sunday circuit trying to prove that she is on top of the situation! Sorry, Jenny…you still sound like a clueless idiot but maybe you and KamalHo could scurry back up to Canada where you belong and commiserate about how mean everyone is to you!!
Ahhhhhhhhhh! How nice it would be to live like the Russians did after the October Revolution! Dr Zhivago was such a nice movie! Or Maoist China where all were equal.
This is all part of the plan. If fossil fuels are cheap then no one would buy uncompetitive renewables and useless electric cars.
Zhuk86: Yes, indeed. Yet, the next round of newly launched EVs will be $70,000-plus luxury SUVs that will never be driven outside city limits in places such as LA, SF and Austin.
“Likely” to reach $4/gallon? I pay $4.20 where I live.
Ours pulled back a bit this weekend to $3.03. That is still a buck twenty over what it was before the inmates took over the asylum. I expect it to push $3.50 by Christmas.
Canadian evil Witch – Hillary’s Canuck sister.
Barack Obama and his Communist minions are calling all the shots for Biden and Harris. Never forget that Barry once said that his will be the most transformative administration in US history. I blame the voters for having elected a Muslim Communist to be our President, twice! What did everyone expect would happen.
He was definitely not “elected” the second time around (think Dominion), and the first is in question.
They think we think trump never happened
He did. We loved it, and lived it.
#FJB
With PT45 everything was bright with endless possibilities, with UniParty Fascism everything is gloomy and dark, as per usual.
America First vs America Last
This is a feature not a bug.
They’re not incompetent. They’re wilfull.
This incompetent moron has been a failure in different levels of government. She was a failed AG in Michigan, followed by continued failure as Governor and now continuing her hot streak, a failure as Energy secretary. Consistent stupidity, is her only attribute.
Knowing someone who worked in the office of this crazy witch Jennifer who is a mass consumer of hard liquor.
She truly belongs in a mental institution along with much of the Obiden crime syndicate.
All these people do is lie and we were witness not to long ago by PDJT that the President can make us energy independent and lower energy prices if they want to.
These malevolent cretins have no interest in improving anything.
In fact their goal is to collapse the system.
They’re on their way to doing just that.
This is how they will push their next multi-trillion spending package. Giving money away to people to pay for heating, electricity and gasoline.
“Infuriating to see such willful stupidity go unchallenged”
I don’t think it is stupidity. I think Señor Jose Barack O’biden is executing their plan; unfortunately, to perfection.
My opinion only – I think it’s best we quit calling Jose Barack Obiden & Gang, stupid/dumb/idiots. They are but they are also extremely evil and GREAT at manipulation. They KNOW what they are doing; which is destroying our country first, then the world. I can’t think of a better person to be the point man than Señor Jose Barack Obiden. He’s done a masterful job. We have not stopped him/them in ANY way. They continue to roll over our somewhat pathetic asses.
As much as I love meme’s, name calling and prayer, none of that is going to get us out of this incredibly DEEP doo-doo we are in.
One thing and probably one thing only can do that.
What is it with Michigan and these partisan hack women?
$4.00 would be nice.
I’m paying $5.00+ in central California.
And it’s worse along the coast.
NOTE: An amazing example of the incompetent/corrupt/witless/self-serving politicians/bureaucrats discussed below. Been asking myself since May of 1960 just how much the American people are going to take before they throw the likes of her out on the street? Soldier/Cop/Mercenary, Retired
RAPE, PILLAGE, PLUNDER; AMERICA YOU’VE BEEN HAD! AND…..IT’S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT!
Before commenting on this article I must first thank my Lord. Lord, I’ve been waiting since the sixties to see just what it would take to get the American people to stand up and use the most important weapons they have (their voices and their votes) to throw the incompetent/corrupt/self-serving/witless politicians, bureaucrats, academicians, and media folks out on the street. No matter if it’s a needle in the arm, a brain dead president, election/voter fraud, and/or any other of the so-called progressives’ activities designed to drive the American people into nothing short of pure bondage. Just let the American people know that if they will stand tall many old vets/cops like me will come back to help (just so long as they don’t ask me tote one of those %$#@ M-60’s)!
Next, my thanks to President Trump for his role in exposing the entire military/industrial/political/deep state complex and the swamp they employ.
Last, my thanks to Godfather Joe, Crying Chuck, Loony Nancy, and so many others in the swamp. Special thanks to each of you for reinforcing my confession/lessons learned (see below) throughout your years in politics. Godfather Joe do you remember the time we listed you, Billy Clinton, 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?’ Godfather Joe, you also have my congratulations in that you are one of the three subjects in that drug trade/money laundering investigation who have gone on to be President of the United States of America!
This article reinforces the confession/lessons learned (see below) first presented in 1989 (most presented in 1989, rest added during President Obama’s last two years in office and President Trump’s first year in office) to the citizens of this old soldier/cop/mercenary’s community while serving as their police chief.
A Soldier/Cop/Mercenary’s Confession/Lessons Learned
* 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 chose the word “candor” is because 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!
* The American people are the most effectively lied to people in modern times thanks primarily to politicians, bureaucrats, academicians, and the media.
* 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.
* Soldiers do not fight first and foremost for their country, the flag, motherhood, girls back home, or apple pie! Before all else, soldiers 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)”.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* Far too many 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!
* 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.
* 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…..
* 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?
* The end goal of the elites and their minions is not (nor ever has been) socialism, communism, or capitalism. The elites of the 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!
* Arrogance plus ignorance equals stupidity (A + I = S).
Soldier/Cop/Mercenary, Retired
PS All of the lessons learned above (save the three added during the Obama and Trump administration) and the four mentioned below were written for the prelude of a book titled: “Rape, Pillage, Plunder; America You’ve Been Had!” (After Obama was elected to his second term I added; “And It’s Your Own Damn Fault!”). The book has not been published in that the Department of Defense has denied four requests to publish the same due to classified information they claim is in the book. That so-called classified information primarily deals with the number of politicians and bureaucrats sitting at the federal, state, county, and city levels of government during the Carter years who made the list of subjects in an investigation of the international drug trade and money laundering. Three of those politicians went on to be President of the United States of America. Four of the original lessons learned will remain unpublished in that I do not believe most of the Americans alive today can handle the level of anxiety that might be generated from their exposure. Few Americans can imagine the lengths so many have gone to destroy this nation just since President Eisenhower’s last year in office. I say that because that was the year I joined the army and have stood witness to the destructive policies first initiated by the Kennedy administration with folks like his brother Robert, L.B. Johnson, and Robert McNamara (Mac the Knife- soldier’s nickname for the #$%) laying the ground work for administrations that followed! Thus the reason for the two part prayer I said immediately upon learning that President Kennedy had been shot. First I prayed that God would spare him and second that the shooter was not a soldier from my unit, or any other military unit!
Every single member of Biden’s cabinet is a lying scum bag. God help us.
The ears. The ears give her away. They always do. Sometimes its the eyes but mostly the ears. Thats demon possession right there. Does anyone still doubt who the real enemy is?
That’s why they Spirit Cook. they are tapping into Satanic forces
