Everything including oil, natural gas, wheat, and fertilizer is skyrocketing in price right now. Ten- and twenty-year records are being eclipsed, as energy prices are soaring on the back of oil flirting with $114 a barrel. Unfortunately, here comes more inflationary pain, and everything is being blamed on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Toward the end of last year, we warned that fertilizer costs were going to harvest costs in 2022 (field to fork, go deep), long before Ukraine came into the picture. Unfortunately, future wheat prices reached $10.59 a bushel today, the highest since March 2008. Additionally, corn prices have passed their highest rate since December 2012.
It may seem like those crops are not that important. However, keep in mind that corn, wheat and soybeans represent the baseline for not only grain production in the U.S, but they are also the primary feed products for proteins: chicken, pork and beef. We are going to feel this second wave surge at the grocery store. Hopefully everyone has prepped.
Additionally, oil prices have jumped to near eight-year highs. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose as high as $113.94 a barrel, the highest since June 2014, and has been trading around $111 for most of the day. If you were paying $4/gal for gas, these oil rates add around another .50¢ today alone. Yes, you read that correctly, inbound tankers of gasoline will offload at your convenience store at a rate ten percent higher than yesterday.
Making matters worse, the Joe Biden energy policy -focused almost exclusively on green energy- is making any investment in domestic oil production tenuous at best. The major oil companies are wary of spending money for U.S. energy development in a climate where the U.S. government is specifically against that effort.
(WASHINGTON) – […] investors seem to be reluctant to invest in fossil fuel stocks. Major US oil stocks have lagged behind the broader market for most of the last two years, teaching executives a hard lesson: Use the recent windfalls to reward investors, not sink more wells.
“Oil and gas companies do not want to drill more,” said Pavel Molchanov, an analyst at Raymond James. “They are under pressure from the financial community to pay more dividends, to do more share buybacks instead of the proverbial ‘drill baby drill,’ which is the way they would have done things 10 years ago. Corporate strategy has fundamentally changed.”
To that end, while companies like ExxonMobil, Chevron, Marathon and Phillips 66 expect to spend more on exploration and other capital spending in 2022, none of those companies expect to hit 2019 spending levels. (read more)
This economic pain is being intentionally inflicted on a national and international level. This is a feature, not a flaw, in the ideological quest for a “Build Back Better” society, or in the words of the World Economic Forum, “The Great Reset.”
The use of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is the purposeful deployment of a distraction and justification for economic hardships that have little to do with Ukraine or Russia. We were on this path long before Ukraine entered the picture. Global government, including our own, are using the Ukraine crisis as an excuse for an energy based economic outcome they created.
The multinational corporations who drive WEF financial policy, are targeting the policy of government. From their corporate perspective, this is all a simple matter of increasing income. This is a very bad scenario right now.
Fascism was traditionally defined as an authoritarian government working hand-in-glove with corporations to achieve objectives. A centralized autocratic government, headed by a dictatorial leader, using severe economic and social regimentation and forcible suppression of opposition.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) was created to use the same fundamental associations of government and corporations. Only this time, it was the multinational corporations who organized to tell the government(s) what to do. The WEF was organized for multinational corporations to assemble and tell the various governments how to cooperate with them, in order to be rewarded by them. Corporatism was/is the outcome. The government is now doing what the multinationals tell them to do, and in return, the multinationals install the compliant politicians.
Fascism, the cooperation between government and corporations, is still the underlying premise; the World Economic Forum simply flipped the internal dynamic putting the corporations in charge of handing out the instructions.
What results is a slightly modified definition of fascism:
…A massive multinational corporate conglomerate, telling a centralized autocratic government leader what to do, and using severe economic and social regimentation as a control mechanism, combined with forcible suppression of opposition by both the corporations and government.
Doesn’t that define our current reality?
The instructions from the multinational corporations to government would be called the “Great Reset“, or as commonly transposed by the government officials receiving the instructions, “Build Back Better”.
Everytime Biden Speaks, Prices Soar On The American Consumer
He’s the proverbial bad penny, a Jonah, a mindless forked tongue speaker that calls down hell’s fire on the rest of us and the mask of evil. God above help us. (praying hands icon here)
Klaus Schwab is the Mitch McConnell on Steroids.
Evil has a human face.
Devil’s disciple. Along with many others.
Oh yes…he has been walking the earth gathering souls.
Evil has no Chin.
Lacking a Chin, Mitch got a Chinese wife to compensate.
A marriage of “convenience and mutual benefit”? I’ve always thought so anyway.
Biden assertively announces that nations will be releasing 60 million barrels of oil form strategic reserves to combat the oil price.
Markets respond by assertively boosting the price of oil five bucks.
Markets call out Biden as a very small man.
I left my PC running overnight.
.
Last night was unusually warm for this time of year.
.
I am now being blamed for climate change.
You exist. Your warm body alone contributes to climate change.
Not to mention the poisonous gas we all exhale.
Wear a mask….keep the toxins to yourself.
/s
Splendid idea! I’ll put mine on straight away.
So guess what they have planned for the masses.
Jab-0-mania
60 mil is nothing. The only solace is that elite may eventually have to choose between jet fuel for the gulfstream or raptor.
For them it’s a tax write off. We pick up that tab to.
i am Sure you are correct…
60 million barrels is only about 3 days of U.S. consumption.
They could give a damn what the government charges
… for oil transferred to cronies
… at a massive discount from market
… in return for campaign kickbacks
… with 10% for the Big Guy.
Their prices won’t change an iota.
I seriously doubt our elite will have a fuel problem.
The problem is ours, not theirs.
I am going to fire up the wood-gas generator this summer.
Was used during world war 1 to get around.
And ya get charcoal as a benefit!
Add that charcoal to piss and you get saltpeter for gun powder then encase with some pellets (lead or whatever is handy) to make it into bullets. Need to go old, old school these days. 🙂
What FJB, the Ho, & Deep State, including Congress & most Republicans are doing to America is clearly treasonous. We can’t build the gallows fast enough to keep up with the flow of traitors.
Climate change is not our problem. It is communism, annihilism, racists & they want the rest of us dead. IMHAO
Racism is not an issue. Every time I go out to eat, I lift up the salt and pepper shakers, expecting the KKK to be cowering underneath. So far, I have not found a single one.
Racism is just a label created to maim people democrats do not like. It is also the tool used by idiots trying to create their own 15 minutes of fame.
Don’t fall for the nonsense.
60 million which can eventually be replenished as twice, or more of the original cost.
Does the Big Guy get his usual 10% on the sale?
The Reverse Midas Touch.
I really miss the Trump magic wand!
Those UCLA-colored Blue and Yellow ribbons will come to signify the ULTIMATE nihilism of the wearer. They are pulling for their own demise as they back HER and Obama’s Ukraine. Yes, and Hunter Biden’s Ukraine
A co-workers father who runs a local farm and sells his produce to locals, told me fertilizer and seed corn prices have tripled/quadrupled.
Yes, what is REALLY sad is that our farm and cattle PRODUCERS are NOT reaping a price increase windfall … but the middlemen are. So Bidinh wants MORE meat processors, eh? Why hasn’t the FREE MARKET already solved that problem? Who and what is standing in the way? Over regulation of industry serves as a BARRIER to competition. It’s too damn expensive and risky to start up. Where are the SPECIFICS of Bidinh’s carrrrrreeeeeing about the Producer monopolies? Is he gonna get the Federal bureaucracies out of the way?
No doubt BEFORE Russia-Ukraine hit the airwaves.
Impeach this man and his girl Friday now. MTG has 4 articles already drafted.
You mean convict and remove him.
Regardless, that’s a pipe dream. Never gonna happen.
Though you and many others have given-up, there are many others who are still fighting and optimistic about saving your freedom.
Spare us your piety.
We must operate in the world AS IT IS not as we wish and hope for it to be.
There is no realistic actionable path that will lead to Biden and Harris being convicted and removed from office.
None.
Zero.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is dreaming in Technicolor.
“A realist/pessimist is an optimist with experience.”
But isnt it better to have dreams in technicolor than to exist in the pallor of black, white and gray?????
😊😊😊😊
Life is black and white.
Under-promise and over-deliver. Anything else is hot air and vanity.
Wait….life is technicolor…step outside and see all of the wondrous natural God given colors that there are….
I guess for me….the people to whom you refer…those of ‘hot air and vanity’…. cant ever change the colors of life….only ones perception can….
You and I usually see eye to eye…but on this we will just have to differ😊
Sure. If your goal is to live in Dreamland. The problem is while you’re dreaming, reality is further enslaving you.
When you finally wake from your dream, it’s too late. You wasted your life and time dreaming instead of DOING.
Rest assured I dont live in dreamland…..and rest assured i have not wasted my life and time doing nothing.
I feel sorry for anyone who cloaks themselves in self righteousness while wallowing in darkness.
You are correct, Samurai, unfortunately. The only path I can see (and this won’t happen either!) is impeachment and conviction for both Joe and the Ho, after strongly taking the House and Senate next November. Keep in mind, to remove a sitting president and his vice president, 60 votes will be needed in the Senate. Impeaching is not enough. At that point, whoever is Speaker of the House will be installed- probably McCarthy. Yeah, I know… but he’d be better than who’s in office now.
I say this won’t happen; but it can. Who knows? With the way things are headed… most of us would never have believed the shear destruction that is taking place right now. The same as I don’t believe the above scenario will come to pass.
I’ll have to check my COTUS, but aren’t 67 votes needed for removal from office?
The problem is GOP House & Senate “leadership”. If they remain McConnell & McCarthy, nothing of real importance will happen. McCarthy has already said something to the effect that impeachment, under his watch, will never become a political football. They’ll never rock the Globalists boat.
They’re part of the machine.
67 votes in the Senate.
What you see it “as it is” is not what I see it “as it is”. One of us is seeing it wrong and time will tell the story. In the meantime I will live in my optimistic World of a Free constitutional America.
And even then the #2 back-up to a Pres. & VP, is the Majority Leader of the House, which is Pelosi right now. And should Republicans take the House in November, McCarthy is no better than Pelosi.
Yes this is a war
And there will be many many fights and battles to be lost and won.
It is obvious this will never end we much teach our younger generations the value of freedom
They have no concept
It can if Putin and Zelinski get together, cut a deal and put in the open the Biden/Romney/Pelosi/Kerry dirty laundry with Burisma. Putin is shaking the new world order and they don’t like it.
They’re all in on it. They’ll NEVER remove them from office. And even if they did, for the sake of argument, they’ll replace them with two more bobbleheads and continue the leftward march.
History teaches us this ends one of two ways and NEITHER are bloodless.
We can remove and replace them in 2024 if we still have elections that aren’t rigged. Four years went super fast with President Trump. One year of Brandon feels like ten.
Still have?
That was exposed in Trump’s term and AG Barr did nothing.
You think AG Garland will do anything?
When they do “get together” I would not be surprised if they just have a good belly laugh at how well this drama is playing out.
Just imagine all the documents available to them they can use as dirt to get what they want and need from the USA government swampers.
I am so jaded by the character of human nature, the only surprises I get to experience these days are the ones where I trust a “fact”, and it turns out false.
Maybe it will……
If Wisconsin follows through and recalls its electors, and Arizona and Georgia follow suit, thus pressuring Pennsylvania to do the same….AND …it is established that Biden and Harris knew of this traitorous scheme…the Articles might be thus successful…..
and then perhaps the Supreme Court would have no other option but to rehear a challenge to the election and perhaps overturn it…
You just never know….perhaps one day some of the sh*t being thrown against the wall will stick….(adage from my Torts professor)
Skepticism is healthy….faithlessness is simply sad.
Please.
Show me how this works under the Constitution. I’ll wait.
“If if if if if. . .” – Barrack Obama
Its ok that our viewpoints differ….I am just not a pessimist….ever….
Sad you compared me to Obama😢
You’re not a realist, either. One must be honest in their assessment of the enemy’s capabilities, allies, and the territory he occupies.
If you can’t honestly assess the situation, you can’t fight a battle, let alone win the war.
Pie in the sky time is over. “When I was a child I thought as a child. When I became a man I put childish thoughts aside.”
1 Cor 13:11
Thus Sayeth,
I believe you may have misinterpreted 1 Corinthians 13:11.
Sincerely.
When we reach the 2024 election without Presidential change you may claim your mantle of being a ‘realist’…. and I will graciously concede the point.
Until then, none of us can foresee what will or will not occur absolutely….we can only make conjectures..
Can you spell GENERAL STRIKE if it fails?
Arizona seems to be dead in the water. I didn’t expect Wisconsin to pass them up. What happened to Fann and Brnovich?
I am watching Wisconsin….i just think it takes one domino to fall for these legislatures to grow some …… you know ….. and go against the propaganda machine, thus each acting upon the fraud thus pulling back their Electors….
With Biden tanking, and our Country tanking, the tide just might turn….
As I have been writing today…you never know….
One can only hope!!!!
I’m sure plenty of people on the Titanic went to their deaths with healthy skepticism, waiting to be saved.
Hope you can swim.
Maybe that’s why I am unafraid and optimistic….
I swam competitively for 14 yrs….
Hate cold water though😊
I have referred to myself as being an optimistic skeptic. While that seems rather oxymoronic, it helps me get through life being one! At least the looks I get when I refer to myself as that are hilarious:)
Love. It.!!!!
How about convict then execute.
Lets just fast forward to execute.
Unfortunately, you’re right. Even if the GOP takes control of both the Senate and House; even if they stick together (a BIG IF!); they won’t have the super majority needed for conviction.
Convict and HANG.
That couldn’t even happen until 2023. We won’t have a country then.
That adage doesn’t apply to kamikazes and political suicide bombers.
Has there EVER been a better candidate for the 25th Amendment than Corn Pop Bidinh? Sadly, he foresaw this coming … and nominated Kamelalalalalala as his successor. Err, President Kamelalalallalaa as she’s constantly referred to.
Hilarious…..and further underlined by her take on the ‘why’ of the Russian incursion……
None of the politics matter as I now see it. The ENTIRE WORLD is on the brink of financial collapse, a fact you can easily test. I encourage you all to watch this vid to the end, and then act accordingly.
The reset is already scripted, it is just a matter of when.

The problem with impeaching them is then you get Madame President gin soaked Nancy . 😒
I’d like to see..
Republicans have a good chance of gaining both houses.
Trump runs for congress from a safe FL district.
House elects him speaker.
Trump begins impeachment proceedings.
Biden is impeached. Harris can’t serve as she has foreign parents at time of birth.
Speaker of the house Trump becomes president.
Sundance. Isn’t there a breaking point when the economy just absolutely crashes? How can this go on unchecked? Interest rates here in Canada went up 0.5% with more increase promised.
Is a crash part of the plan? This just does not seem to be sustainable.
The cost of living is leaping in bounds. Faster than I think the globalists expected and wanted??
DD
Great question. Prob hard to predict exactly what event will cause a crash.
It won’t be a crash but rather a collapse like a skyscraper falling in on itself. Slow at first then accelerating.
It’s starting already.
And very much like the most recent twin skyscrapers…and building 7 next door. That crash will be organized by our own government and blamed on someone else!
Oh gawwwwwd … we have 911 “truthers” in here?
It started the first week of January, but it is not a one event thing. It is an erosion. Any event serves as a catalyst for the next event.
At this juncture the common ordinary dullard is starting to personally feel pain. Every time one goes to a grocery store and a gas station is a painful reminder “I’m f**ked”.
A crash would present them with the opportunity to juxtapose their stupid BBB plan against the status quo free market principles by saying “see how it failed? We have a better way.”
Or so they think……..
I’m sure they think recessions and depressions will make people more pliable and open to accepting BBB, which would seem to indicate those are the outcomes they are purposefully seeking.
In the upcoming depression, Biden’s version of the CCC will be green infrastructure projects.
/s
It will be: “Economic Emergency” … and our Constitutional Rights will be permanently binned
We’re already there. The inertia in the economy has to slow down first and that takes a bit. But it’s happening.
Crashing the economy is the main feature of all their actions on the route to communism.
… grinding the middle class between the millstones of taxation and inflation. Classic Communist tactic. Add to that the INSANE overspending on absolute JUNK … expanding Federal bureaucracies and regulation. Infrastructure MY ASS …
Soros is getting richer. Democrats will be very will funded.
The bribes paid to the minions will be worthless. Oh, the irony when those masses of sellouts find that they, too, are screwed by BBB and the NWO. The question is which one(s) will they use to thin the herd: vaxx, nuclear war, starvation. My money is on all 3. The next question is how far into BBB will it be when continental USA is resettled by China?
And meantime, the stock mkt. is ignoring all this. Does not make sense. The stock mkt. hates uncertainty. So, maybe they are certain all this crap is going to happen. 😁
WHICH interest rate went up in Canada? Surely not the interest paid to savers and investors …
Powell said today March increase is now off…perhaps later in the year. Staying on top of inflation is one of the Fed’s mandates which only a couple years ago was their chief focus. Now? Not so much. The Fed has lost control. Must protect their cronies. Feasting on a sumptuous meal as the plebs forage for the crumbs.
As for inflation? Today, Powell said, “Let her rip!”
If it is let ‘er rip, look out above. 20% or more. Easily. Powell is a stupid SOB or corrupt. Maybe both.
…or incompetent…or all three.
Higher interest rates won’t help this type of inflation. Only drilling will. Powell rightly sees stagflation approaching, and he doesn’t have the guts to do what Volker did.
My point was the Fed used to say they’d keep an eye on inflation and raise rates to forestall exactly what we’re seeing now. It was a mantra for them. They left it too late, I suspect on purpose. Unless they raised to them to economy crushing levels, which obviously they cannot do, we are all for the high jump. So I agree with you.
Even a paltry .25bp rise would see Wall Street with a fatal attack of the vapors, and it would accomplish nothing.
And I’d prefer Milton Friedman, thank you very much. Cheers.
Is a crash part of the plan?
Since 1966 – see Clowerd-Piven strategy.
Bingo.
Interest rates were 18% during the Carter years, and there was no “crash”. Things adapt. We had a 22% variable rate mortgage on the house.
Watching this administration buffoonery reminds me of watching The Banana Splits show when I was a little kid with the “Tra La La” theme song playing in the background.
Argh! I have that stuck in my head now.
Oh yea! Do you remember H.R. PuffinStuff? “Whatcha do when things get rough”. Damn, I old.
I actually feel we have fallen into the giant top hat in Lidsville
You and me both!!
“How dare you!”, The Banana Splits show was much more entertaining and non-destructive.
Yep. Thanks for Wednesdays ear worm …
I believe many in this administration dress-up like furries … similar to the Banana Splits
I believe you to be absolutely correct!
So glad I read the treehouse and have been preparing accordingly. FJB.
FJB … and Kamelalallalala … and all the puppeteers behind the scenes.
Funny how select Professors in Economics and Political Science classes in the 80’s told us (quietly out of fear or retaliation) that WEF type organizations would succeed in coming to power and running govts.
All like it was a long written plan.
It was apparent to me as early as ’79-’80 that professors and/or their TAs were grooming students to find a global government appealing ….to have a contrary opinion, at least at Ohio State, was rejected outright…
As I have written here scads of times…the one thing standing in the way of the imposition of a global government is a strong national pride and identity…. the dissolution/effective dilution of national pride and identity is essential to that which is sought by the WEF.
Hence, in my opinion, the emphasis on migration and the contemptible erosion of nation values and mores….
In the late 70s the Economics Departments at New York University and Wake Forest University were run by Misesians.
For the most part, my older tenured political science professors were federalists and revered political history…i am lucky to have had them….
Their TA’s on the otherhand, who came in from other colleges to do their Masters and Phds, they were cut from an entirely different piece of cloth…..
Summer: What Grassely meant to say was, “I picked up another check.”
All well and great, but bio fuel actually costs more to produce and uses an inordinate amount of groundwater to produce it
And it’s not exactly great for your car’s engine.
yeah let’s burn food for fuel
No kidding.
I’m sure your check is in the mail Grassley.
Natural gas is our almost immediate answer.
TPTB will not allow it.
Yes, nuclear is sexy but it takes decades to bring plants online.
Oh well, glad I run/walk 15-17 miles daily.
A consequence of the global warming / evil carbon fraud.
Some myths are very expensive.
Opening the Keystone pipeline would replace every drop of Russian oil we import plus another 200K per day over that.
Add the 6 LNG plants that Beijing Biden’s blocked to displace Russian gas.
So what do we do about it?
And don’t tell me overturn the last election because that will never happen.
The Founders would be shooting by now I think.
You don’t know the future. It may happen.
Only GOD knows the future.
There is demonstrated cheating and fraud in the election. No election based on orchestrated theft, cheating and fraud can stand. Crimes were committed. Are we a country of laws or are we not?
I actually DO know the future–because God has already told us THAT WHICH HAS BEEN IS THAT WHICH SHALL BE.
There is NO NO NO achievable mechanism to overturn the prior election. That cake is baked. It’s time to face that reality and pivot.
We are fighting the last battle while our enemy has already moved on to the next one.

Gas here has risen $.30 in the last week or so. It rose $1.10 in the last year, after Biden took office and killed oil production in America and well before any Russia involvement in Ukraine. It’s stunning they think people buy into that talking point.
Yes, Gas has more than doubled in most places, not sure where people keep getting the low percentages.
They claim 40%, etc….. since Biden stole the WH….. no it’s 100% +
Upstate SC – $3.69/gal. Up about 3 cents a day for the past 2 weeks.

$3.59 at Sunoco yesterday in Ashburn Northern VA. Today it’s $3.64.

It’s $5.00/gal. +++ everywhere here in N.CA
kenji: Westside of Los Angeles, unleaded now selling at $5.39 and premium $5.79. Exxon-Mobil on one corner. Chevron on the other. Yes, we pay a lot of fuel tax, but, money is money we are paying out of pocket, and we did not vote for high fuel taxes.
On the bright side … when I visit my daughter in Dana Point … groceries at her Ralphs is almost HALF what I pay at my N.CA Safeway. Yes … literally HALF the cost … across the board.
but her gasoline is high
Any ideas on how to end the madness? inflation isnt a result of the build back better agenda, Root of the problem and what made this possible is mass election fraud.
Yesterday election in Houston TX. Another election and more corrupt actions from the Democrat Party.

I am sooo tempted to take a sledge hammer with me next time I go to vote and make a lasting impression on the voting tabulating machine. I suppose I would be labelled an insurrectionist. Solitary might do my psyche some good.
So, are you finally ready to OVERTURN the fraud, throw the imposters out, and swear in the President who ACTUALLY WON by a gigantic margin?
You don’t have “three more years to dawdle around,” and unless you overturn the fraud that happened “once,” you will never vote again and DemoFascists will never “lose.” Ask the Venezuelans how this works …
The ONLY way that comes to pass is at the pointy end of a rifle. Not gonna happen.
Demand destruction coming in a deep recession. However, those in and around D.C. who are nestled in tight to the Federal nipple could care less.
Most in DC will feel the pain as much as we do. Only the top tier of government will barely notice this, everyone else who commutes 30-50 miles daily into and out of DC to very expensive suburbs in expensive cars will be hurting. I hope they tell their bosses.
Well I just got my electric bill and can confirm it is not just gas that is skyrocketing.
Any business that uses gas or electricity will be seeing the same cost pressure and they will have to pass that along in the form of higher prices.
Of course, Biden told them how to deal with it. True believers really believe supply and demand is just capitalist propaganda. They truly believe economics is just a matter of who gets to make the decisions and who gets the rewards. Even if the oligarch faction of the left knows better, their most vocal and activist supporters do not.
Yep, my $21 pizza (very expensive at that price) just went up to almost $25! Last time I eat there.
Just bought 2 pallets of manure (3+ tons) from a local hardware store for $1.39/bag yesterday. They had a huge overstock last year that sat in a mountain of snow all winter. We really lucked out there. Lots of seed + fertilizer = lots of food ripening on the vine come harvest season.
Filled up today here in CT Regular was $3.79 Super was $4.09
Central Rhode Island: Gas $3.70 at Stop and Shop. Home Heating Fuel on Monday was $3.36/gal. NOVEMBER 2020 HOME HEATING FUEL PER GALLON: $1.46.
Meanwhile, the US and Europe are still buying almost $1billion-a-day of oil and gas from Russia, funding the very invasion they are fighting.
At best, this is unbelievable incompetence.
At worst, the West has been infiltrated at all levels of government and society.
Won’t be surprised to see rationing cards and price controls. Those social media driven Millennials are getting an education in economics of the worst sort.
Slowjoe and Ho were mumbling about two years of free community college, they just did not explain to millennials that they would not need to enroll and it would be duel majors of applied economics and civics.
Bidet actually spoke the phrase “price controls”. You know they won’t be able to resist.
There is a real resistance forming against the fascist global reset. that is taking the form of a parallel system of free individuals that are aligned to keep Western civilization alive and thriving. It is similar to what broke the Czech communist government.
You can see it taking shape as alternative foundational compatible structures are created like President Trump’s digital domain; conservative media; conservative banking and financing; entertainment and sports that are unabashedly pro-American and patriotic in their viewpoints, etc.
We will create our own free society within the confines of the fascist left dictatorship and creak them from within.
Can we dig our own oil and gas wells?
Barter will be widespread.
Certain items will be like currency: coffee, chocolate, tobacco, booze, perhaps even flash drives?
The climate change induced mania for EVs is going to cause a transportation crisis for the average person. EV has cost, charging and useful lifetime issues. I also doubt EV is green between digging rare earth materials, electrical charging and disposals of batteries.
Dementia better be careful. When we arrive to $10/gal at the pump, truckers not delivering goods, empty shelves everywhere and we have to choose between putting gas in the car or food on the table, it is not going to be pretty. The rats are looking forward to it – thus the fence.
It’s becoming pretty clear that all of this nonsense is engineered. Biden begs OPEC to bring prices down while refusing to exploit our resources at home. Maybe the presidency has too much power in this arena. It probably may be time to start giving federal land back to the states, so that it doesn’t matter who’s in 1600 Penn. All people will worry about then is choosing the right governor and legislature and then call it a day.
Would be interesting if a state like South Dakota anexed their federally managed land.
Things appear to be going from bad to worse perhaps we should skip the inevitable “cut to chase”
Unplug the government with a complete national strike everyone just call in sick

The stock market seems to like out of control energy and food prices.
Filled up in Miami today, high test….$3.89 nine. Was surprised to see it 10 cents less than a week or so ago. I used to go to Costco or BJ’s to fill up; it’s about 40 cents per gal cheaper. But the lines are really long, so Mobil today.
West Palm $3.49 last night.
I live on the NY side of the NY/PA border in Steuben Co. On my way to Mass this morning our gas was $3.81. On my way home it was $3.99.
Fjb said he was the democratic party he is a gift that keep on giving the blessing is he is going down will he take the PARTY with him
The ideologues surrounding Biden don’t care whether or not green energy is practical or what they have to do to implement it.
They hate oil.
That’s all that matters to these raving lunatics.
It’s all about ideology.
It doesn’t matter if ‘green’ is actually green. It’s not oil and gas. The attack on energy is because it is a strategic advantage for the US.
$7 a gallon gas is a very small price to pay if it keeps the temperature in the USA from going up .00000000000000001 degree over the next million years.
I can not believe you people here are so unpatriotic as to not want to make this small sacrifice for your nation.
What will be going up is the height of landfills full of dead batteries.
The higher those landfills are the better observation points they will make so we can better spot Russian troops invading America. If you don’t want that, you must be a Russian Agent.
You forgot that $7.00/gal. gasoline is what Obama promised would STOP the seas from rising … < 1mm/year
To think we have enough reserves of oil and natural gas, shale oil and deposits of coal to be totally energy independent for the next 100 years at a minimum but we’re going to leave them all in the ground for the sake of the climate change hoax! The Democrats want our energy grid to consist of solar panels (made in China) and wind mills (my guess is the turbines are also made in China?) !!! This is what 81 million Americans voted for? 🤣 The Democrats, deep staters, globalists, WEF crowd are purposely destroying the economy and we’re letting them? God help us! Hosanna!
I don’t see the Russia distraction as really working for the average person. I don’t think most people really think too far beyond the old “Are you better off than you were before”? The answer is a resounding no for a huge majority of people.
Mid-terms should be a bloodbath, but will it make any difference? Will there be enough MAGA people in the right positions to reel back any of what the idiots in the current admin are doing? We still have a lot of purging to do in our own ranks, and I don’t think McConnell will ever have a come to Jesus moment.

Why does the United States have a Congress? All they do is sit on their hands and go along with the show.
So when the government shoves stuff down your throat, they can point and say democracy at work.
And collect salaries from our tax money and get rich from their lobbyists.
Don’t worry, the gas pumps today can be programmed to measure out and price gas by the pint. No rapidly spinning penny wheel like those some of us older folks can remember. (sarc)
Just don’t think you will be able to stop it on the .00 cents unless you just get lucky!
Well SD … you DID warn us … repeatedly … to stock up. To fill our larders before the REAL PAIN started. I suppose this is why I follow this blog religiously. Calm down … I follow Christ FIRST. I am not creating an IDOL to worship. I’ve just learned … as the Bible teaches … to follow wisdom, knowledge, and honesty.
3.99 at my corner gas station for a couple months
Today……. 4.09

Waiting for my CA brother and far left kids of my dad’s wife in Atlanta to complain. I’ll just say, nope, you need to hurt more. We are going to excise this festering pustulating cancer once and for all.
The amount of inflation and cost to make “green” cost comparable to “regular” cost is far too much for folks to handle. They just thought the difference would be a few pennies. They are learning now that ain’t so.
And we have not even mentioned the coming carbon tax.
The brainpower utilized since a corrupt regime wanted to change the narrative from Covid is mind boggling. Our job is to make sure this narrative doesn’t work. We need to throw boatloads of sand!
Old Joes economy is a man made disaster of epic proportions.
Less oil available, more expensive… increases the price of everything, not just gasoline.
“The Market Is Starting To Fail”: Buyers Balk At Russian Oil Purchases Despite Record Discounts, Sanction Carve Outs
MAR 02, 2022
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/market-starting-fail-buyers-balk-buying-russian-oil-despite-record-discounts
While in their unprecedented broadside of sanctions on Russia, the U.S. and Western allies went out of their way to spare Russian energy shipments and keep economies humming and voters warm, the oil market has gone on strike anyway. Acting as if energy were already in the crosshairs of Western sanctions officials, refiners have balked at buying Russian oil and banks are refusing to finance shipments of Russian commodities, the WSJ reports citing traders, oil executives and bankers.
This self-imposed embargo which has effectively halted a majority of Russian oil shipments, threatens to drive up energy prices globally by removing a gusher of oil from a market that was tight even before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russia, waging war and in need of revenue with its financial system in turmoil, is taking extreme steps to convince companies to buy its most precious commodity.

“The president contended that energy costs could be cut far more — an average of $500 per family — by focusing on combating climate change.
“Let’s provide investments and tax credits to weatherize your homes and businesses to be energy efficient and you get a tax credit; double America’s clean energy production in solar, wind, and so much more; lower the price of electric vehicles, saving you another $80 a month because you’ll never have to pay at the gas pump again,” Mr. Biden said.”
You hear that? You’ll never pay for gas again because you won’t be able to afford it. You’ll have to buy an EV instead.
My house has an 1830’s footprint. Unless you razed the place and “reimagined it”, there’s no way in Hell it’s going to become anywhere near as energy efficient as these clowns would make you believe.
My sincere thanks to all the libtard voters. /s
What obongo wanted to do but couldn’t in two terms, he’s achieving in his third term. I’ll bet he and ValJar are giddy with excitement.
So we (consumers) will be buying gas and diesel from strategic reserves. Fuel refined from SR should be sold at a greatly reduced price, we (taxpayers) paid for the crude to be stored. We will in effect paying twice for crude we already bought once. The SR is for energy emergencies not manufactured problems by govt. Draining the SR gives me sleepless nights.
I was buying skinless chicken breast marked down to $.99/lb not long ago. The same package is now marked down to $3.49 from $4.99
My only regret is not buying more at the time
The Avian Flu that’s rolling out over the country is a big reason poultry prices are skyrocketing…IF you can find poultry. Seems to be thinning out here in western Maine at the big grocery chains.
What!? When did the avian flu start up again?
