If you were still on the fence about Omicron being created/used specifically because the people behind Biden were worried about gas prices {Go Deep}, you can quit the straddle.
Energy inflation overall, and gasoline inflation specifically, is the Build Back Better communists’ Achilles heel. The Biden administration is ideologically committed to climate change policy and as a result they have no supply-side tools to stop gasoline prices from necessarily skyrocketing. They desperately need the fear of Omicron to shut down the demand side.
Ten days ago the communists said they were releasing 55 million barrels of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve {Go Deep}, approximately a three day supply of oil given the current level of demand. Today the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) laughably claim victory over a two cent drop in gasoline price. Worse still is the gaslighting graph they use to show a downward trajectory on price:
The Y-axis is in increments of half a cent. The X-axis is showing six days of impact.
Yes, gasoline fell from $3.39/gal to $3.38/gal in the six days after the strategic petroleum reserve release. We are spared a single penny per gallon in gas price.
Even the leftist media recognize this type of propaganda only makes Democrats look more stupid. A longer review of the Joe Biden price for Gasoline puts that six day Democrat graph into perspective:
Knuckleheads….
All communists are knuckleheads.
That said, what this insufferable effort highlights is how much emphasis the Democrats are putting toward trying desperately to get away from the problem of inflation.
All of Biden energy policy, and all of Biden’s spending around the Build Back Better agenda, is designed to take us from where we are now into some distant place where fossil fuels are not the energy mechanism; that’s the Green New Deal component of this. However, there is no policy for their transition – they stopped all current energy policy around oil and coal.
Biden halted pipelines, cancelled oil and gas leases, blocked expanded refinery capacity and regulated the entire U.S. oil industry into a place of diminished capacity. That is why energy prices have, as Obama promised, “necessarily skyrocketed.” And, we ain’t seen nothing yet. Depending on how cold it is this winter, you can expect natural gas and home heating oil to double in the next few months.
The near horizon looks pretty clear. Gasoline will keep rising fast and will cost $6 to $7/gal before next spring. There is no way under current Joe Biden policy to avoid this, unless he was to completely abandon his energy policy; that’s not likely. The climate change ideologues, academics and far-left communists behind the Biden policy are not likely to see the catastrophic economic damage as a bad thing, instead they will likely say it’s the new normal.
With that level of supply side economic chaos seemingly unavoidable, the only way for Biden to try and mitigate political damage is an attempt to halt the demand side. That’s why the administration needs Omicron.
It is more important for our government to use Omicron than all other governments because we are the spending and ideological center. That is why we are seeing a much bigger emphasis upon the fear of Omicron by our government; and that is why the descending levels of variant emphasis/fear fall in line depending on how closely other nations are aligned as allies.
Meanwhile… China, Iran and Russia (adversaries on an ideological level) know what is happening, and to the extent they can drive U.S. inflation even higher, they will. Our adversaries know how to use Biden’s policy to make massive inflation hurt the U.S. disproportionately. This is why OPEC is giving Biden the middle finger on his ‘request’ to increase oil production, and this is why China is now triggering shipping quarantines. (more)
Again, as repeated previously, our window to prepare for a massive jump in inflation is slowly closing. We are down to around 60 days, and then things will get really ugly. The people behind Joe Biden know this. Omicron is a tool they are attempting to use to moderate the speed of impact within the inflation window.
From the same play book as Michael Mann’s hockey schtick (a disgrace to the profession). As Sundance has pointed out, it’s easy to discern once you know the routine. Rush Limbaugh first opened my eyes a couple decades ago to their play book. “Teach your children well.”
Oh, how I miss Rush’s wisdom! It’s so easy to hear his voice in your head.
We must never forget his wisdom, generosity, and humor.
The day Rush revealed his cancer diagnosis was a bummer. Almost as bad as the day I heard him announce that there was a new SARS type virus that had emerged in China. He also warned U.S. that day the Demoncrats would use said virus as an opening for mass mail in ballots. I heard this as I was on my knees pulling oak suckers from around the bases of 40 year old heirloom blueberry bushes on a 6 acre farm that had fallen into disrepair. The 96 year old lady that owned it had a son that would maintain the farm and he had past away in a motorcycle accident 2 years prior. This was the day I knew deep down Jim Crow Joe would be installed.
Blueberry bushes are the delight of heaven. I hope the old lady’s farm has been repaired along with her grieving heart.
Indeed. Al gore split his CO2 and temperature chart because overlayed on each other it would show that temperature was leading CO2, not the other way around that Al Gore was pushing.

A more accurate graphic …
https://www.gasbuddy.com/gaspricemap?lat=38.822395&lng=-96.591588&z=4
Yet, the even the GasBuddy map is deceitful by only describing the ENTIRE State of CA as > $4.21 in gas price. Uh, yeah … > $4.21 … like an average of about $4.89 in my hometown. Can’t ANYONE be honest about gasoline price inflation? Esp. the INSANITY of CA?
Welcome to your “clean green future” my fellow Americans. You will ALL be Californicated … real soon … if Jao Xidinh gets his way.
The man/woman on the street paying real gas prices at the pump, from their own paycheques will not be fooled by this lame ploy.
PS … I haven’t seen $4.21/gal. gasoline anywhere near me for months and months. The absolute cheapest I can find is $4.39 cash price at an out of the way Independent station.
I paid $2.95 this morning at Costco.
My nearest COSTCO is $4.25/gal. Ain’t CA beautiful? While Gavin luxuriates at $39k/night accommodations.
$39k/night would house all of the bums living on CA beaches.
Hate to say this but in Texas (where Oil/Gas is KING) I paid $2.67 / Gal. today.
I’ve not seen any prices over $3.00…yet. The high prices are likely in Liberal Schifft Hole States where the taxes are very high and supply is likely not good…
Figures don’t lie but, liars sure do figure.
lets go brandon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A 2-cent drop isn’t going to make moving to Florida much more affordable for all these folks packing up their homes!
NW Central Florida is going to turn into a giant sinkhole when we pull enough water out of the aquifer.
Everyone I know who lives in Florida is ecstatic that they’re there and that DeSantis is Governor. Florida in the last two years has remained America as we remembered it. Blue states are desperately trying to emulate uni-party dictatorships using the never ending covid “crisis” as their excuse for dictatorship.
Instead of Omicron, I call it Omyacon (O my a con). SD great job of showing a proper graph of gas prices. One of the first rules in presenting graphical information is that the Y axis starts with 0. Always peeves me when that rule is violated and tells me the authors are trying to BS me.
scramble for omicron= moronic….
Remember there is no such thing as a Variant…It’s a Mutation and should be called a Scarient because that’s all the DemoNazi’s use it for.
HA! Not by me. It went down for two days and now it has spiked back up and is more expensive than it was before! What an amateur play.
Here too. We’re at $3.55 at 7-11, Mobil is $3.69, and Valero which is usually the least expensive is $3.58.
Open Letter to Kentucky Republican Voters:
Please explain why you keep voting for Mitch McConnell. Inquiring minds would like to know.
Thanks,
Mitch understands how to use Dominion voting machines.
Kentucky uses mostly ESS systems, not saying they are better, but not Dominion.
They all use the Dominion “technology”.
Same algoryths, and same Uniparty rigging the vote.
The outcome, not just of POTUS/VPOTUS, but of Congressional races as well, was pre-ordained.
Surely there is a viable Republican in Kentucky that could challenge Mitch…surely.
ditch the m*tch…..
stew this turtle….
They DIDN’T, it was ballot fraud. He and Lindsey both had terrible #’s, right up to the election.
Assuming you recognise their was a coordinated, well organised, well funded operation to rig the 2020 election,..why/how would so many Republicon incumbents in Congress have retained their seats?
Trump had big coattails, but no coat?
No, the rigging kept McConnell and Graham and many other Rinos in their seats.
They have a real dilemma: the mandates are a significant contributor to the large decline in labor participation rates generally and in key sectors specifically. Mandates impact the real unemployment rate and ultimately GDP growth.
The biden* administration has sent letters to 9 of the countries big retail corps asking them to explain the supply chain debacle . I am curious to see how many will blame the admin for it. Like paying people to not work, locking them down, and the mandatory jab thingy.
The company I’m working at this week blasts CNN in the lobby. On Tuesday, CNN was proclaiming a drop in gasoline prices…from 3.392 to 3.384…7 tenths of a cent…
And they were super duper stoked!!!
Gas lighting!!!!
Even CNN wouldn’t have mentioned it unless they got the DCCC graph in their morning talking points.
Knuckleheads … nyuk nyuk nyuk!
According to electroverse.com and the NASA data sets, etc. there is a sound case that we are heading into (are in) a solar minima for the next 20-30 years. One would expect some lag in the system, so maybe not so much this year but, we are going to be getting colder – much colder. Ice skating on the Thames river colder. This anti-energy – green new deal scam – is going to difficult to sustain that 2×4 of reality. But then again, when you observe the COVID/Vaccine lies and gaslights, I guess anything is possible.
They are lying about that data. Follow Miles Mathis for the real deal on solar minima and maxima.
As long as the elites have what they need to stay warm and eat, they don’t give a fairy fart about whether we freeze or starve to death.
Last Feb we had a real deep freeze in Texas…guess what crapped out and left us short of electricity…Windmills froze solid!
Wow. 2 whole cents !!
We’re saved !!!!!
And all we have to do is steal from our emergency reserves every time Joe needs a bump. What couod possibly go wrong?
I’m adding the savings to the 17 cents Delusional Joe said I would save for my Independence Day feast, so that maybe I can afford a turkey next year for Thanksgiving.
Stories like this fit in with transgender bs.
Your looking at man who says he is a woman and you know, it’s a man.
Prices are high , period. Everyone sees it stop talking.
I was never on the fence. I thought it was obvious. The South African medical leadership came out VERY assertively that OMICRON (anagram for MORONIC) produced very weak illness among the vaccinated and usually NOTHING in the unvaccinated. And despite that? They are absolutely going nuts.
Meanwhile OTHER variants went unnoticed for the SAME REASON — they were all weak:
https://fox4kc.com/news/there-are-several-covid-19-variants-you-havent-heard-of/
So there’s only one reasonable conclusion to draw from it — political timing. They just highlight the variant which is convenient to the political interests.
And, only when needed.
If anything, we should be talking about the possibility it could create for reaching herd immunity without a lot of deaths. Instead it’s “Deeply concerning!”
Herd immunity is showing to be impossible under the influence of the vaccines in current distribution. As courts are now finding, the “vaccines” (under the newly revised definitions) do NOT create immunity from the disease and do NOT inhibit the spread of the disease. That alone defines the vaccines as useless.
But now with variants affecting the “vaccinated” exclusively, we actually have good cause to halt the vaccines entirely.
The Vaxed are now the Super Spreaders!
JoeBama touted a 16 cent savings on hotdogs for July 4th. Now, 5 months later, they’re bragging about a savings of 2 cents on gasoline. What do they have left to brag about now? In their desperation, they’ve painted themselves into a corner.
Maybe we are looking at his comments the wrong way. You see, all of us sit and laugh that they would even mention this because it is absurd. It’s not really savings but from their viewpoint for us plebes, deplorable, and not chosen ones we are so poor and destitute that those 2 pennies are very important.
I think this just gives more insight into how they really feel and think of us.
Thanks for your unput, DD. Additional insight is always welcome.
Math is Racist.
So are charts and graphs …
SO if we go to a binary system…which is racist, 1 or 0?
Whoa!!!! A whole two cents? I’m a gonna fill me up my tank and go fer a drive… That plus the 16 cents I saved last July 4th is going me rich. Hallelujah….
Look on the bright side… For the average four-wheeler, a two cents per gallon savings equals about forty to fifty cents savings on every tank full. SOME lucky souls who drive a lot might even save a couple of bucks before the next pump price increase cancels it out. See how great JoeBama is!
FJB…
Nicor natural gas (Illinois) has gone from 28 cents per therm last January to 73 cents per therm last month. We are very nervous about getting through the winter.
My Mom prays for our Northern brothers and sisters all of the time now winter is here. She mentions this several times a day. “How will they survive those terrible winters? Something has to be done. People will die.” It’s her mantra. You folks are not forgotten by the rest of us. We are concerned and praying very hard for a mild winter for you.
If DeSantis wants to kick Obiden in the nuts even harder, he would invite oil drilling on Florida’s state lands. We have a Constitutional amendment forbidding off-shore drilling, but we have a lot of State parks on the shore. Slant drill from land into our off-shore oil and build refineries here. Remember, because Florida originated as a Spanish colony, we have 12 miles of territorial waters, not just 2. Florida can produce Florida Man Special gasoline and sell, sell, sell. If Florida sells leases for production on it’s state land, there is not a darn thing FJB can do about it. Sovereignty is a beautiful thing.
If anybody knows anybody who knows DeSantis, offer this idea up. The out-of-work petroleum workers can come here and build, refine, and ship like mad.
Great idea, AG. Hopefully, some of our resident Floridians can pass it on to DeSantis.
Excellent critical thinking AG. Mandate it until we can vote it into law. Shop a judge to say the mandate stands until the vote. States rights.
12 miles never new, I wonder if DeSantis knows?
They will gag that project with every study, survey, expedition, snipe hunt, and exorcisim they can re-imagine into reality. It’s what they do.
What is really disturbing is that a large percentage of the populace will buy into this BS and think they are now saving money.
This morning as I was putting away dishes when Biden’s comment “It’s all about a 3 letter word J-O-B-S” was played on the radio. That was from the last great Obama crisis circa 2008-2009.
Sundance, it got me to thinking how much of that crisis was “never let a crisis go to waste” versus intentionally manufactured. There are parallels to the current situation the most obvious being big government spending to hand out to liberal friends.
I was having the same tho’ts myself the other day while Delusional Joe was claiming to have puled us out of the deep recession President TRUMP had allegedly put us in and how he was creating jobs.
As an engineer, I could make anything look like a huge increase or decrease using graphs. It all depends on the spread of numbers used on the y-axis. That’s the vertical, not horizontal. But then again, one could play with either axis to graphically depict what I want to portray. Figures don’t lie but liars figure.
Wait a minute! The DIMs several months ago said that gas would be going down as soon as they switched over to the winter mix. How do we not know that this is the winter mix drop?
Was the release of the gas we already paid for in our Strategic Reserves, that they want us to pay for again at the pump, timed to perfectly line up with the winter mix drop?
The same article where they said prices would go down with the winter mix also said they would go down because demand would be down. Kids would be back in school and vacays over.
The Difference Between Summer-Blend and Winter-Blend Gasoline
By GasBuddy
15 Sep 2021
https://www.gasbuddy.com/go/summer-blend-and-winter-blend-gasoline
BINGO! That is exactly what they did!
Prices typically fall 10-30c/gal starting in mid/ late September through late November as gas stations switch to winter gasoline and demand for gasoline falls seasonally as we start to stay closer to home. Many retailers continue to sell summer gas until their inventories run out before then selling winter gasoline. Hurricane season can also affect prices before the switch, ending in a squeeze just before the switch since refiners don’t want excess expensive summer gasoline sitting around and especially if refineries are in the path of a major storm.
Ain’t simple math fun! Sheesh, I guess we should accept this from Bureaucratic morons.
The best comparison:
Those who look at graphs will catch the insignificance of the price change as well as note the price when they fill their tank. All others will note the insignificance in the price change when they fill their tank.
Who’s the audience for these idiot’s lame gas lighting? Their urban base who don’t own cars? They are a very small percentage of the masses.
Okay, I’m a wordy person and not a numbers kinda gal, but I took one look at that first chart and burst out laughing. Someone had this bright idea: Hey, let’s split cents (and sense) to make ourselves look better!
Ha ha ha ha ha! Epic fail!
Where’s Rude Goldberg when you need him? He needs to invent a machine that simultaneously pats these babies on the back while it offers a pacifier for them to suck!
During his visit to the US in 1959, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev was amazed to see all the cars on America’s freeways, and also that most of the cars had only one passenger aboard, the driver.
The communists now in control of America’s government have a solution. Get rid of the cars, get rid of the freeways, and eventually, get rid of the people who drive all those cars on all those freeways.
They were all calling for a recession in December 2019, and I KNOW that THEY KNEW that the “Virus” had been released into the USA and across the globe, because I had it Nov/Dec 2019 myself. That’s why Nitwit Tehran Nan-Chi finally fasttracked the 1st scampeachment coup into action. She knew we were headed for a shutdown soon, mail-in ballots, and then they would carry off The Big Steal. with the help of every media outlet and platform and the evil machines.
They are willing to kill us, jail us, bankrupt us, our children, and future generations. If you cannot be brainwashed you will be murdered in hospitals because you did not comply.
Bill Maher: ‘I’m Hoping For’ A Recession For Partisan Reasons
By Secular Talk
Jun 12, 2018
Comedian Bill Maher said on his Friday night HBO program that he is hoping for a recession if it means getting rid of President Trump. “I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point,” the host said on his weekly program, “Real Time with Bill Maher.” “By the way, I’m hoping for it because one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy. So please, bring on the recession,” he added…

They think the entire country is as dumb as their brain dead voters. Or sometimes just plain dead voters.
I love it. If there is gonna’ be a meme video, I would have Delusional Joe picking up two shiny pennies off the sidewalk and falling flat on his face when he bends over. Once he gets up as clumsily as he went down he shows them to us and instead of them being pennies, they have the other Chairman on them. 😉
Due to the now unfavorable economics of using what was cheap and CLEAN gas to run power-plants in some regions of the USA, many of the plants that are set up to run ‘dual-fuel’ ARE GOING TO BE BURNING COAL COAL COAL to run the plants so they can be operationally profitable.
It is sheer and utter STUPIDITY and INSANITY!!
FJB, his minions and puppet-masters and EVERYONE ELSE that thinks he was legitimately installed!!
All in favor of higher prices for everything ($50 for a sheet of OSB, gas $3.59 gal., $4.50 a gallon milk, etc.) – Raise your hands – Now we know who to send back to their Creator for attitude adjustments.
Just ordered a load of sand today – ready to throw into their machinery by the shovel fulls! They are failing and they know they are failing.
Normal people that still tune in to their narrative know things aren’t right and many of them are even laughing at the administration.
They think we are stupid.
Note how they play on the stupidity of the far too many who can’t read a graph properly.
Hospitals in USA and in first world countries are refusing life-saving Ivermectin treatment even with court orders. Big Pharma doing everything they can to jab us no matter what, while alternative COVID cures EXIST! There happens to be heavy censorship who are looking for these treatments. The Research Is Clear: Ivermectin Is a Safe, Effective Treatment for COVID.
Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
Thanks, Pure!
IF you go to a hospital plan to die, PERIOD!
What is that quote, I think from Mark Twain?
Figures never lie, but liars always figure??
Dear Barack Hussein Obama third administration: I sure do appreciate the 3/4 of 1% reduction in gasoline price….now how about the other $1.20?
Please explain the 60-day timeframe.
