It looks like the Biden administration has quit pretending about their energy policy. Joe Biden’s Commence Secretary Gina Raimondo and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen both threw in the towel on gas prices today saying, “there isn’t very much more to be done.”
The high gas prices are an intended feature of the climate change ideologues controlling U.S. energy policy. WATCH (44 secs):
Janet Yellen soundbite below.
Joe Biden’s Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen conceded that President Joe Biden has already done “everything” he can on gas prices, during a Senate Finance Committee hearing on the budget. WATCH (36 secs):
.
A fair point considering they do not want lower gas prices.
Well, yeah, their soldiers have unlimited taxpayer provided fuel and high prices make it difficult for patriots to mount a peaceful or adverse action offensive. That’s OK, we have some surprises in store for them. Airlines still awash in JetA?
They created a disaster to force an agenda. Why on Earth would they have any credible remedy for the intentional infliction of pain they wanted?
“everything” he can on gas prices
Except drill baby drill and flood the market with good old American oil driving the price down and bankrupting Putin and Iran. Oh wait, he is being honest because he can’t do this because the radicals who control him won’t let him.
None of these cretins ever darkened the door of a Logic 101 class.
FJB and F UNIPARTY.
I would submit Printing Money causes all our problems. With a prudent Monetary Policy economic forces will regulate things and assign accountability to incompetent people. All that needs to happen for the system to constantly run smoothly is to peg the interest rate to the inflation rate.
Inflation is: – too many dollars chasing too few products because leaches on the government dole don’t add anything.
The Country’s heading into its second only era of economic Stagflation, a Democratic specialty. This is going to be rough but like all hardships in life it’s also going to be a blessing in disguise. It’s going to paralyze the Democrats ability to Print money and coopt countries, organizations, and people. We’re not a little banana republic – China’s not going to be able to come along and subsidize their operations.
See, you can’t Print your way out of stagflation, that’s the source of the problem. Biden thinks he can (and all the dumbass bureaucrats) but they can’t (gone to the well too many times). Like I said it’s going to be rough, he’s going to give us a Crash we can’t get out of utilizing Monetary Policy. Another President might be able to utilize some sort of Productivity oriented Work-Fare but mostly it’s going to have to work itself out naturally according to all the Laws of Economics.
That’s where he’s taking the democratic party, Oblivion. And as the consequences of this spill out over the Globe it’s tough to describe how despised Joe Biden and his democratic party are going to be.
Churchill use to warn the rest of the world not to pressure Socialism into the United States because the entire world had become dependent on American productive capacity and generosity. If we fall then there’s no-one to come to the rescue.
All of that fall-out will be blamed directly on the democratic party of America, as it should be for stealing the Election and being the vehicle used for this intrusion. Then they can take their rightful place alongside the other monstrous regime of the 21st century the Chinese communist party. (Who will fall even faster than us without American support).
There’s nothing more Inflationary and Ineffective than a massive “Intelligence Community.”
If we take Inflation as the result of non-productive enterprises (or receivers) which add to the Demand but they don’t add to the Supply of useable goods; things become much more expensive.
Ineffectually – throughout the History of Western Civilization espionage was rightly disparaged (that’s why spies don’t have the rights of citizens and can be sent to places like GITMO, or in war they’re not covered under the Geneva Convention) because it creates an ever compounding exercise in futility. It’s the undeniable reality of social contacts and a limitless objective combined with a strategic mission incorporating highly suspect anything-goes philosophies such as “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” or “using double agents” (how do we know they’re not triple agents?). All of it operating in the shadows. Thus everything is in place for the “Intelligence” culture to inevitably become very corrupt and pervasive.
Also there’s the whole ballooning phenomena of the 10’ fence – 11’ ladder, 11’ fence – 12’ ladder, and so on. The whole thing has always been considered utterly ridiculous. Basically you have your society creating spies and not goods and services.
There’s only one valid reason for modern espionage. That’s to detect First Strike Nuclear Capability (or any other weapon of First Strike Total Destruction). All the rest is a complete farse, but it does make for a really good (and extremely zealous) political constituency. It’s zealous because it can be. Our Rights were trampled in its creation so it leverages that against anything which threatens its preservation.
All this stuff flows down hill as predictably as water into a pond, or should I say swamp.
The society needs a certain amount of goods & services to stay in price equilibrium. If you add non-productive workers (and recipients) they’re not adding anything; you have the same amount of goods & services with more money demanding them (the goods and services have become scarce). Then when you compound this with the fact that their government job probably makes things more difficult to produce then you can start to see why things become much more expensive; I say start because in a massive society you’re going to have the snowballing effects of market psychology and momentum to contend with also. Plus synergistic effects like adding to the Money Supply.
I can’t imagine anything more Inflationary than a government using Monetary Policy to fight its own people tooth & nail.
As far as spying on us and their involvement in politics:
Of course they do, we make soft targets. They’re apprehensive to spy on other countries, other countries are full of the same assets. Also they need to be careful about the network, they’re all colleagues (like the international banking network). That’s part of the whole futility of Spy v. Spy and another of the many reasons why espionage was always looked down on until the Nuclear Age. There was only one valid reason for modern espionage. That was to detect First Strike Nuclear Capability.
Also, it’s impossible to have a large “Intelligence Community,” to many eyeballs and mouths. It’s more of a Public Relations Organization for the government. That explains them Leaking like a sieve. The whole thing’s ridiculous.
The NSA for instance was a pure 911 farce; since by far the most effective counter-terrorism measure that could have been implemented was to tighten immigration and travel visas, and not rely on foreign labor; that would be something concrete. Until you’ve done something concrete like that at the stratospheric level all the rest is nothing but a joke.
The Nuclear Age made war obsolete; leaving an unrealistic chance for First Strike Total Destruction – against Massive Retaliation and mutually assured destruction. In spite of that, it also left a manifestly critical obligation for vigilance off the battlefield because the stakes are so high. Unfortunately this has functioned as a green light for wimpy people to go nudging and pushing others through the amalgamation of the State.
The arrival of the Nuclear Age was the greatest break from the past the world has ever seen. It’s much more than a scientific revolution it spawned a cultural revolution too. Everything about it bends towards corruption. This is why people say that it made life breathlessly more complicated. We’re just starting to grapple with it because the theft of the Election has made the symptoms acute.
Like the money printing so is the nuclear age. You can only kick the can down the road so far. Then you run out of road. I have always wondered how we defied the laws of economics. They are more subjective unlike the laws of physics. It has to do with our hegemonic position and powerful military.
But what happens when you find out that your money is actually over inflated and worth nothing. “Can’t happen here they say.” “You people have been saying a reckoning was coming for years” they laugh. All fair points btw. Words from those who hide from reality. It’s the last refuge for cowards.
As that globalist snob J Dimon said last week “There’s a hurricane coming.” I don’t particularly care for him but I would be a fool not to take notice. This seems to be echoed now by others. Don’t really remember a warning so stern during the tech bubble and financial collapse. I’m sure some were ringing the bell but from no one near the stature of Dimon. J Yellen just had no idea how bad inflation would be.
Point is it’s coming. These are not just warnings from a right wing nut job like myself. I know I have been sowing doom & gloom for several months. I used to think crazies like me were just that….crazy. I long for those days too but they’re not coming back until a reckoning happens. What is that? I just don’t know. I write like this so you will try and do what you can to put yourselves and family in a better position to survive if things gets rough. I want to stand shoulder to shoulder with people I trust.
Things can be done. They just dont want to do anything about it.
President Trump could show them how its done.
They created the crisis. They wanted it. So they surely wouldn’t fix it
Nothing more the potato in the White House can do?? Bring back ALL of President Trump’s great accomplishments !!
Nothing more to do? How about removing 220 obstacles this November.
There is only so much a rotten head of cabbage can do
Biden has done everything he can do about gas prices …. to make them higher.
Deliberately and intentionally
Some of his moron voters are shocked by the gas prices. I have one who lives near me. I remind her that he told everyone during his campaign exactly what he was going to do regarding energy.
It is probably the only time in history a democrat politician was honest about a policy he planned to enact.
The moron Brandon voter tells me she didn’t know he was going to do that.
We are doomed.
When anyone mentions the price of gas or goods, I just say, “Well. It’s why we don’t vote Democrat!”
You can tell immediately who voted for Xiden! First the furrowed brow, followed by slumped shoulders. No words necessary. I always suppress the urge to smack them.
And there are 15,000 illegals headed for our southern border. Biden’s administration is a “Train Wreck”.
RATS. Only. Destroy.
What!? Do you expect ANYONE in the Biden Admin. has a magic wand? The kind of “magic wand” President Trump wielded? Of course they don’t. All they can talk about is Climate Change and Guns. Oh! And men pretending to women
Priorities…
Soon gas prices won’t be as big a worry for people as riding their bikes to a grocery store to find they can’t buy food.
Out: Stagflation.
In: Starveflation.
If they said today they would resume all pipeline, open leases, and let America Drill, baby Drill, the price would come down. So they are not interested in helping America get out of this, they want it destroyed by every agency in the bloated swamp sh*thole…
Oh really!! I call bs! We the people pay for their fuel!! Do you really think they care. These politicians republicans and democrats don’t give a rats ass about how much you pay for fuel.! They can’t figure it out. This is orchestrated not by accident!! All bs. Tar and feather time!!!
I don’t know if anyone has posted this (I may have missed it), but this article from the Daily Caller is a wake-up call. Refineries shutting down is not good for gas prices.

He’s done everything he can, alright. Grrr!
I cannot recommend this enough. From Gold Goats and Guns.

Great link, thanks!
We need an expose on Mark Carney and anyone else massively profiting from pushing this BS agenda!
“There’s nothing more that can be done. We’ve done all we can to destroy 246 years of freedom, prosperity and good for the world!”
Give them ALL the Mussolini neck tie!
Indeed. My 2021 return also says, quite loudly, that the Chomo in Chief raised taxes as well.
Many things can be done they just refuse to do them because they are beholden to leftist special interests.
These unelected bureaucrats are dead wrong on everything they do. Then they lie about it, make excuses or just say they made a mistake. Never any consequences except we the people suffer.
To sum it up, the main reason Biden Administration CANNOT do anything is because of The Paris Climate Accord of 2015 signed by OBAMA. Where a GOBAL emergency was declared for CLIMATE CHANGE and Eliminate green house gases by 2050. One Rule from the accord Economic growth is not compatible with environmental sustainability. Biden Administration is intentionally destroying US economy all in the name of Climate Change.
Out of the mouths of female socialists. Wow, or maybe I should say woe.
The RESIGN IMMEDIATELY. You derelict. You feckless front hole do nothing . You PoS
Here’s an idea! Drill, Baby, Drill ….
In the past, I have accused the administration of being ignorant and incompetent, when in fact they have been very adept in carrying out their plan to destroy the United States of America.
Sad, isn’t it?
LOL, liars!
Ignorant bunch, aren’t they? They cut off our supply of domestic oil and can’t figure it out?
They are forcing us to be serfs to China and Russia for rare earth minerals for their Squad-backed move to a battery energy system. There is NOTHING stable to replace oil and gas. Besides, this regime has made us an international laughing stock on every issue they touch.
Ask the Texans how they heated their homes a couple of years ago when those windmills froze.
It’s enough to make citizens go nuclear!
They should replace build back better with cut off nose to spite face
Check out Tom Luongo article this morning. Once again you have to understand the powers that be want 80% of us GONE.
Are ugliness and stupidity the primary qualifications for admission to the Biden “administration”? This Gina Raimondo looks like a semi ran over her face and her nose went up between the duals.
Perfect specimen for a “Dunning-Kruger effect” documentary. Idiots, all of them – that’s one IQ level below “moron” and two levels below “imbecile.”
Getting rid of libuturd policies and those who vote for these policies should be good place to start!
The strangest part of intentional economic self-destruction under the banner of a climate hoax is the satisfaction it brings to its peddlers amidst the ruin around them. They can, for example, walk down a city street devastated by their policies and pretend they see only a struggle for equality.
They know what they are, they know you know what they are, and the choice to lie and lie repeatedly displays their utter contempt for us. But the legions of maladjusted and moronically uninformed who resonate to the mental illness of these self destructive pathological liars is startling in its uptrend, as if it were a desirable social trait to be so and indeed, the lying in society is now pervasive and all consuming. This gains all the more traction if we are paid to assume the supporting roles, by social services with fake money.
The shrug of nonchalance is the purest form of contempt and we see it everywhere in the dull expressions of the lords and ladies in Mad King Josef’s court and its mega-destructive bureaucrats. Of course the bared teeth are showing more frequently now that the vassals and serfs want more. We are about to enter the phase of mass detentions and the star tribunals of Jan 6 are the announcement. You are next.
Yes there is. Man made climate change is a hoax.
And we will destroy your internal combustion engine with more ethanol in your gas!
Actually, there’s not nearly enough ethanol available to meet the requirement. It looks like the goal is to force the refiners to buy exemption credits, which have almost tripled in cost since the Davosauros took over, for not meeting the standard, and that cost will be passed on to consumers to further increase the price of gas.
The pretend and FAKE “president” , the thief in Cheat diapered resident of the White House has done everything in his power, on behalf of the actual creep calling the shots, Mr. Sho Enuf and his gang to make sure gas prices go as high as they will every go in the entire history of this country.
Yes, I agree with those 2 cows when they say he’s done all he can!
Reminds me of when Clinton first took office, and said he was going to review the budget to fi d where they could cut to get it balanced…and came back a few WEEKS later, I believe, and said nothing could be done…
Hard not to think that they wouldn’t be this overt in their progressive destruction of the Middle Class unless they knew they had elections rigged. Just sayin’…
How can you support a President who creates the problem (with a flick of his pen the first day in office he took us from energy surplus and $2.00 gas to this) and then shrugs his shoulders and says nothing can be done to fix it? His policy of hiring staff who check off identity boxes (female, person of color, gay) rather than have any experience in the job they are chosen to do brought us to this place. The world can see that he is compromised cognitively and he has lied to the American people over and over (so he NEVER discussed Hunter’s business dealings with him- but Hunter’s partners are signed into the White House 19 times? The Laptop was “Russian Disinformation”)…this sit down is a whitewash- a real Leader would take tough questions President would take from the press, not softballs from a late night comedy host. Biden needs to step down – my hope is after the Nov elections when the Republicans win the House and Senate , he will be impeached. The Dems had to make up impeachable offenses ( a phone call with Zalensky?) to impeach Trump, but Biden’s opening our borders and importing millions unvetted aliens, transporting them in the dead of night to cities without the Mayors of those cities knowledge, is a definate impeachable offense…. I hope the country can hold on till Nov.
These criminals will never be able to walk the streets….
Use the language correctly “there is nothing more that will or shall be done to lower gas prices ” ect. When a politician says we can’t do anything about something they really mean they won’t do any thing to resolve a problem. I am not a linguist but I think the expression I can’t indicates lack of ability to take action, will not indicates I am not going to take action. Think, you can’t build a border wall means we won’t bill a border wall. I wish someone would call them on it on occasion.
Joe the Slow has done everything he can to throw sand and rocks into the machinery
There’s nothing to do because this is what they want. These dangerous traitors have already destroyed our country. We are dead men walking.
In California the gas is over double the price when Biden usurped the presidency.
Lets get this straight, Biden wants to destroy the US economy for their Liberal god Climate Change . All because Dufus Obama signed The Paris Agreement in 2015 . Makes perfect sense to an Elite globalist who wants America Last!
A bunch of kids can run the country better than this. What a joke of an administration. They can give a rats @ss about the United States of America.
Just one look at Gina Raimondo, “Not All There” Joe’s Commerce Secretary, is enough to convince me that the women doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together.
