Joe Biden does not write his tweets, that is certain. However, whoever is writing on his behalf sure has an odd way of promoting administration energy policy.
In a Tweet last night [link here] Joe Biden demands oil companies’ lower prices and increase production, or he will raise their taxes and increase regulation:
In essence, lower the prices and increase production or Joe Biden will increase the prices and lower production. How does this make sense?

More insanity from the regime.
I interpret the Tweet as a shakedown for election purposes, but insanity agreed
Strategic Oil Reserves are running dry.
“You’re gonna drain down our supply or I am.”—Biden Regime
Biden was known as the ‘Dumbest Man in the Senate’ long before 0bama pulled him out of the political dumpster in ‘08, but he was NEVER as wrong and radical as this.
0bama + OWS + Bernie Sanders + Dopey Joe = Command & Control Economic Tyranny only a Marxist could love.
OWS?
Occupy Wall Street
Occupy Wall St. . . . 0bama & Cos. first violent Marxist street mob astroturfed while he was in the White House, to whom he proudly said: “You are the reason I ran for president”
Sanders had been an obscure congressional laughingstock for DECADES (even left leaning democrats ignored him) until OWS gave him a pathway on to the national stage. Now his idiotic Marxist economic piffle is mainstream in the democrat party.
Senator Warren helped a lot.
But only when she was working, which was but 1/1024 of the time.
Good one, bro!
Another one of low IQ.
Sheesh, I hate how I had no idea how bad he was, Zero. I should have paid attention.
Yet I am grateful for PDJT, and this site, for my awakening…my education.
Thanks to you and others here in the Treehouse.
And Sundance, you’re the best.
Zero was never elected…both times.
I think Bernie is now seeing he was the “good slut,” his usefulness over, he aged out and they droop. So many new sluts on the stage.
At least one of the dead Biden’s stand-ins is an actor named Struan Rodgers. He is the thin faced one with the squinty black eyes. There appears to be 3 of them. None of them look like Biden. They only superficially resemble him and they can’t bulk th silicone masks up too much or the forehead won’t wrinkle somewhat convincingly. The question is who is running the actors.
Very well said.
Sundance – The simple answer to your ending question is that it only makes sense in the mind of Professor Applesauce and his economic “advisors”. Also, his tweet rider must have gone to the Karl Marx College of Economics, not even mentioning that production and refining capacity increases don’t happen with a flick of their fingers. Ole Joe must have a bunch of economic morons in the administration. But I repeat myself.
Writer, not rider.
Every day in every way I feel we fall deeper through the looking glass. We are all forced attendees at the Mad Hatter’s tea party.
Christ came back as one man and conquered death.
Every time you wonder when the descent into absolute slavery will stop, remember, it all stops with one man too.
We the people don’t need a new leader to follow because we already have one, Jesus Christ. But someone has to go first against today’s powers that be, and it is my sincerest prayer the Lord sees fit to send me.
Not for hate of those who wish us harm, but for love of those we find behind us. It is my second prayer that my fellow free men realize their power against this darkness and feed the flame of liberty that burns inside their chests.
For should I die, does liberty due with me? Or will human kind once more rise to follow their Savior through the seemingly impossible to achieve that which will only bring glory to Him.
With God before us and our love for everyone after us, we charge this enemy once more, again. Take our lives, no matter. Freedom is with us, in this life and the next.
Amen, Mark!
And an Amen from me, my dear brother.
Very powerful response to my metaphorical and literary reference, Mark. Thank you.
We are sane. It is the hosts of this lunacy, this madness, this evil who have crowned themselves gods. Those such as I’ve described are simply acolytes of something unholy and global…the enemies of Almighty God in a spiritual battle. Whether this is the final one, no one knows. There are many signs from prophesy that indicate it may well be.
Perhaps, however, these debauched times (plain to see for those who will raise their eyes) are a prod, a warning from the heavenly sphere that we must as a nation return to our God. We know He works all things for good…and sometimes through unlikely, unknowing people. Those who deny Him. None of us knows.
A lengthy reply from me to say that your focus is mine. I do pray that the Holy Spirit, through the mercy and grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ, turn hearts and minds back to Him. Unfortunately so many churches have abandoned their flocks, and truth be told, placed the Saviour of our souls in the back pew, something I never thought could happen.
Of course we all fight for our progeny, each person for his own. We must fight. We stand between them and a world which will be unrecognizable if people like Biden’s puppeteers are able to fulfill their dreams of deindustrialization and population reduction.
Thank you for your passionate and beautiful faith filled post, Mark. I am with you. We aren’t by ourselves…as promised. And I do pray that as we make our voices heard and our refusal to obey the diktats of those in evil’s employ is made plain, we will have God’s power helping us to overcome our…and His…enemies. Blessings to you, sir.
No wiser words spoken here but yours Betsy and Mark! Thank you so much for the encouragement. G_d bless you!
HAHAHA, how embarrassing for dems
Yeah, sure, lower your prices and build new refineries with 25-year payoffs, while FedGov and state governments, such as California, ban new internal combustion powered automobiles.
yep…talk about you catch-22s….
Pointedly a contradiction.
Another option is implied. Nationalization or more controls/regulations to “correct” the production levels further? Obviously not increasing them as that would be bad for Gaia, or rather certain plans and time tables.
Common Sense
U.S. military comes to the rescue of the Saudis therefore more oil?
US Military Goes on High Alert After Intel Reveals ‘Imminent’ Attack: Report
As widespread anti-government protests continue to rage in the streets of Iran, leaders of the Islamic Republic seemingly seek a deadly distraction.
According to The Wall Street Journal, that distraction could come in the form of potential terrorist attacks on multiple U.S. targets in Saudi Arabia and Iraq. The outlet was told by officials from both countries that attacks could be “imminent.
“We are concerned about the threat picture, and we are in constant contact through military, diplomatic & intelligence channels with the Saudis,”

……………………………
U.S. Officials Had a Secret Oil Deal With the Saudis. Or So They Thought.
After Saudi leaders pushed to slash oil production despite a visit by President Biden, American officials have been left fuming that they were duped.
—————–
Note: the current U.S. producers of oil require time to increase oil amounts, even if they wanted to.
R F Burns may have hit upon something. Nationalize the energy industry. And the railroads too. But why stop there. Obviously, after the Pelosi attack, there is sufficient cause for Joe to declare Martial Law and suspend the elections. Maybe close the banks and stock markets too while he is on a roll.
It actually is kind of clever in a sick cultural marxist way.
The biden administration is going to raise taxes on oil companies and the goal is to get the companies to cut production. That will happen, no matter what, if the regime remains in power.
The oil companies are not going to spontaneously cut prices and increase production and the administration knows that, but by demanding something they know won’t happen, they get plausible deniability in the eyes of stupid people.
Bingo.
Yes, I think we need to stop thinking what Biden’s handlers are doing is just incompetent or insane. The border is not wide open due to bad policy. They know exactly what they are doing and why. This is no different. Biden said he would destroy the fossil fuel industry. We need to believe him.
So you’re saying he wants the prices high? Won’t the voters who aren’t radical tree huggers get mad and leave the Democrat party? Can they really get away with that?
The stated goal of “the green new deal” is $10/gallon. They are almost there.
Most demoncrats have such fragile egos, they will accept that rather than admit they are wrong to support their own demise. It crushes their world view if they ever admit they made a mistake.
Democrats have proven they are willing to lose an election to move their agenda forward. Remember Obama Care?
Exactly, for the ears of the so called “useful idiots” , orange man bad crowd.
A loaf of bread is more intelligent than Joe Biden.
And of more value.
…than circuses.
He’s worse than store brand bread 😂
It makes sense if Dems are trying to have things both ways and avoid responsibility for either action or outcome.
Chaff and Countermeasures. In 7 days, they know they are Toast.
This is pre-emptive damage control.
They need to be annihilated. With no possibility of recovery.
Psychologically, it is more akin to “The reason you’re being hurt is because you need to be hurt, because it isn’t my fault”.
The Dems are “spouse beaters”. A sick frame of mind, but it is how they justify the horrors they perpetrate.
Dumb Phu_k to the bone.
Seriously, I dont mean to be a narrative denier but Putin did not really invade Ukraine.
“for we shall keep promising them to give back all the liberties we have taken away as soon as we have quelled the enemies of peace and tamed all parties”
The new word, as of Tuesday…is Denialist. Just so we keep up with the Kardashians. Or whatever Armenians we know.
What is an excessive profit? Someone quantify that for me.
Screw Joe Biden. It’s his energy policies driving supply down and causing prices to rise. And try building refineries with the regulations in place.
Let him do it and face the political consequences for a generation.
Any word from the GOP/CoC wing of the Fascist/Democrat party?
No…didn’t think so.
“What is an excessive profit?” I can answer that for you Ellis. Let’s use Exxon Mobil as an example. Excessive profit is when you triple your income, triple your earnings per share, and double your net profit off the backs of hard-working Americans. I hope that answers your question
And where were you when oil was $20 a barrel? Or when it was briefly at a negative price?
When research and exploration budgets suddenly aren’t spent because of the current threatening political climate, that money ends up in the profit column instead of being reinvested in growth.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
…or the reserve depletion costs are not being applied as tax write-offs because production is down thanks to Slo Joe’s new reliance on regulation to shut down oil and gas
Profit is what the market can withstand. What anyone does with that profit is up to them. If they are screwing the employees, the employees can walk.
So if Biden screws us, damn the government. If Blackrock screws us, please sir, may I have another? Thought exercise for dummies. Google Brian Deece whitehouse. And then Google Brian Deece Blackrock. This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?
starfcker, dude, did you just copy that off the back of a Bernie Sanders 2020 t-shirt?
When I asked my high school senior about this, who knows nothing about the oil industry, he was still able to explain basic economics concepts like supply and demand, marginal costs, and fixed costs.
He could also think critically enough to understand why Biden is going to drive up prices even further through disincentives to produce more oil. I encourage you to also think deeper than that mindless response you offered.
Here is more food for thought: who gets to decide what an excessive profit is? How much is an excessive profit, 10% 20% 50%? What other companies make excessive profits? Is the profit at Apple excessive?
My home doubled in price over the last couple of years. Should I sell it for less because I should not be allowed to have excess profit?
What about next year if the housing market crashes and I lose all of the excess profit? Then what?
Team Biden is killing the fossil fuel industry. But now he is posturing to his moronic voters before the midterms. I guess blaming gas prices on Russia wasn’t resonating with his idiot voters.
Enter in “excessive profits”. On November 9th he will commence again with killing oil and gas.
It’s called competition. If Europe is willing to pay more than Americans, the natural gas and diesel are going to Europe. It is that simple. And if the White House occupant is willing to sell the emergency oil reserves to China where they refine it and resell it to Europe, that’s the way things work. The big guy still gets his 10% though.
It makes sense if we accept the fact the COOTUS energy policy is to increase prices and lower production.
The administration is shaping a “Heads I win, tails you lose” scenario while trying to maintain a pretense that lower energy costs are one of its priorities. The opposite is the case.
As sundance pointed out, poor people are easier to control. Expanding control is the policy objective underlying every decision taken by this administration. Higher energy prices make Americans poorer, and easier to control.
It’s all kabuki theater.
Put an assumption on Famous Amos Hochstein, the two-faced toad.
Oil & Gas Companies should all join forces, Go Galt, and destroy this administration — Shut. It. All. Down.
After a couple weeks of riots and starvation, The Junta will be on their knees begging them to re-open. And forget Nationalizing the Energy Sector, that would turn out worse than private sector strikes … Venezuela 2.0.
I was thinking something similar… why can’t the top oil executives ban together and just say FJB?
Think of how it might be if Rex Tillerson was actually in charge? His short stint in DJT administration shows us that “the big Oil Execs” would not have much to offer America that is different from the disaster that Biden has been.
Rex was not happy when Trump pulled the US out of the Paris climate accords . . .
Fear
Psychology prof I admire told me once during a rough spot in my life
“Only crazy people can understand crazy people”.
“Furthermore if you think you are beginning to understand them come see me right away!”
LOL
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Get them Joe
In essence, lower the prices and increase production or Joe Biden will increase the prices and lower production. How does this make sense?

Censorship everywhere! USA just officially put boots on the ground in Ukraine, and France has banned Rumble from their Internet. They obviously need to control the story…
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
I believe he ll get the same response the Saudis gave him., especially as it appears the come January all he ll have is a pen and a phone none if which he’s very good with nor his keepers.
There is very believable speculation out there that the Bidenistas are out to nationalize the entire energy sector.
Think about that for a minute.
Sure. Which will then mean the Globalist One World Government will then own it.
“You will own nothing and be happy.”
” the Bidenistas are out to nationalize the entire energy sector.”
Worse. They’ve already been multi-nationalized.
Blackrock controls the Boards of the major oil companies. Blackrock forced the oil companies to adopt ESG. ESG aligns them with the WEF agendas for global governance.
We are now personally experiencing what has been done in our name across the globe.
Jean Pierre running the show.
Bag o hammers.
Am I wrong to think the increased taxes on the oil companies will cause them to increase the prices so that we consumers end up paying for the tax increase? I wasn’t really into my economics classes.
It’s a hollow threat and an attempt to gaslight the gas-starved, broke proles that he’s “got our back”, which is code for I will break you until you conform.
ALL corporate tax is paid by the end consumer…..it is a “pass-through tax” that businesses collect on behalf of the government….that is another one of the Dimm/commies scams they run getting the CONSUMERS to support increased taxes that THEY will pay for……..they do not call them LOW INFO voters for nothing
doesn’t need impeachment, this dotard and his puppetmasters need execution
FINALLY!!!😂😂😂 NOW LET’S GET THE REAL PRESIDENT BACK THAT BIG, BEAUTIFUL WHITE HOUSE!!!

A.O.C.-onomics, one of Biden’s multiple degrees in which he graduated with honors under a full scholarship.
Is this a blackmail attempt by the US to force Saudi to sell the US its oil?
Get the Pentagon/CIA /spooks to put this out then say to Saudi we will help you if you sell us oil at a low price.
I believe the US cabal is cable of anything
Saudi Arabia puts the US and forces in the Middle East on high alert over Iran threatening an ‘imminent attack on the Kingdom
Saudi Arabia has warned the U.S. of the threat of an ‘imminent attack’ on targets inside the Kingdom and in northern Iraq as a way for Tehran to ‘distract’ from its domestic unrest.

It doesn’t make sense, but then it doesn’t have to. Like almost every Leftist, the one who put these words into Joe’s tweets felt good about himself when he burped them up, like he was making a difference. For the typical Leftist, that’s really all that matters, that he feels good about himself even as he flails about and spews the most toxic inanities.
Until the emotionally crippled and intellectually stunted are banned from positions of power, expect more of this insanity.
“With good men in authority, the people rejoice; but with the wicked in power, they groan.” – Proverbs 29:2
The irony is the Federal and State Gruberments make far more per gallon than the evil oil companies.
TAXES!!!!
we have truth in labeling for ingredients for our food products….maybe the NEW Congress can pass a “Truth in Pricing at the Pump” with a breakdown of costs per gallon for what you are paying……..production is set by the global market and there is a relatively set cost to refine it……when I was in CA not only did they charge a state gasoline tax there was a sales tax on THAT tax….the retail outlets make next to nothing on gasoline sales which is why almost all now have convenience stores attached with inflated prices for their products to make SOME money
“In essence, lower the prices and increase production or Joe Biden will increase the prices and lower production. “
Now, there’s a bit of reasoning that exceeds the combined critical thinking capacity of his voting base.
If I were an oil company, I would gather together will other oil companies and restrict all production of oil for the domestic market. The oil companies have a unique ability to bring the US government, US industry, and US society to a standstill.
That is the only way that the Biden administration will decide to change its policies and its propaganda.
Not possible under America’s neo fascists. Blackrock controls the oil companies.
“Texas comptroller Glenn Hegar announced that ten energy companies, including investing titan BlackRock, and 350 investment funds “boycott” fossil fuel companies in the state. A
Hegar claimed that these financial institutions are using ESG initiatives as a proxy for political agenda setting.”
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/25/texas-says-10-companies-including-blackrock-boycotting-energy-.html
If they are boycotting the companies, why can’t oil companies join together to shut down the production in response to the boycott? Maybe I don’t understand, but this could be OPECUS – the oil producing and exporting companies US.
If OPECUS shut down or slowed all their production, most Americans would find out that their very existence depends on oil companies.
They threaten to boycott them in them financial markets using their holdings and influence to drop the stock prices of companies that do not comply.
Even oil companies rely on banks.
No fleet fuel for a cement casing crew or frac crew and they’re parked.
Collusion is illegal.
says the federal government who then colludes with Big Tech and Big Media
Says the Marxist POS who basically cancelled domestic energy production.
He deserves everything that will come his way. In fact, he deserve more. And when that’s done, get the marionettes behind is sorry meat puppet ass.
I’m over being nice about it.
I’d truly like to know who is making Biden throw out these threats because he sure as hell couldn’t come up with them.
Lower prices or we shut it all down. Makes sense coming from the 12 year old running Biden’s Twitter.
So the beatings will continue until the morale improves?
Yeah. I want to see this… from a distance.
Fascism- noun
(sometimes initial capital letter) a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

Biden cannot tank the country on his own, He is getting a lot of assistance, Why is there no pushback from our “leaders”.? Do they not have to live here and raise their families here as well? Do none of them worry about National Security? At what point does some entity step in and put a stop to this?
most are accumulating their personal fortunes believing they will be immune to the consequences……very few patriots in DC these days…..nearly every one has sold their soul for personal gain
Bidumb would be lucky to know how to turn the phone ON, let alone send a text message
Drivel.
And how does he raise taxes on the oil companies?
By executive order? I don’t think so.
Dangerous clowns!
What happened to the Putin Price Hike ?
What Biden and his wirepullers (Der Drahtzieher) are doing will make Jimmy Carter’s excess profit’s tax look prudent.
It’s developments like this that make me wish we had the British custom where the PM goes to Parliament and faces hostile questions, hoots, guffaws,and occasional applause. Love to see FJB in front of an antagonist Congress. But sadly neither FJB nor the republicans could play the part.
It doesn’t make any sense at all. NOTHING spewed by democRATS and the UNIPARTY does any more. But then things don’t need to make sense in a dictatorship and that’s where we are headed. It will be dictatorship worse than any the world has ever seen because it will be a dictatorship without end. Modern technology will ensure that.
That reminds me, wheres Greta?

Looks like blackmail to me.
Their only way the Democrats know how to work with anyone is with threats and destruction and cancellation. Threaten oil companies, threaten Iran, threaten Russia, put sanctions on this or that, shut down this or that group that you don’t agree with, censor this or that idea, sue states that don’t allow abortion, sue people you don’t agree with.
