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?

Hope those Dems in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and the Northern Eastern states who voted for Biden saved some of their stimulus money to pay for REALLY HIGH heating bills! It’s going to be cold this winter!
A lot of that voting was cheating. Cathyn
Maybe in Georgia and Arizona, but Massachusetts… nah those losers almost all of them voted for Biden.
I beg your pardon? I’ve lived in Assachusetts my whole life and never once voted for a demonrat EVER!
Same – never have voted for a Democrat – lived in MA for the last 20 years.
*See Above* And we thank you, also, for that!! Now, make sure all of your friends (and your friends’ friends) do the same! 😀
CT, MA, and NY are all victims of election fraud. I have lived in CT now since 2008. 14 years. And, I have to say- there are a lot more conservatives than our elections have shown there to be. A lot more. And when you look around our state- Dominion and Diebold (now Dominion-run) machines dominate the state’s polling places. All three states show red except their major cities. Hmmm, curious cat. But we all know why.
And we thank you for that!! Now, make sure all of your friends (and your friends’ friends) do the same! 🙂
I live in MA – yes it’s extreme blue overall – but don’t kid yourself that cheating/election fraud does not occur in this state.
Recall Dr. Shiva’s credible lawsuits he brought against the state when he ran for US Senate. He had a lot of support here on the Southcoast, which is probably on average 60/40 D to R give or take.
Given what was exposed in 2020, I have serious doubts that many so called “reliably blue” or “purple” States, actually ARE.
You have a State Republican party, FOR YEARS run by RINOS, to the point that Republican voters become so disheartened, with the hacks the party puts up, and so many don’t bother to vote, and the State “turns blue”.
On average, 50 percent of eligible Americans don’t vote and ask them why.
Its NOT that they are truly stupid or uninterested, its that they SEE THRU the Uniparty guise; “Republican or Democrat, it makes no difference, they are all crooks!”
America is NOT “a 50/50 nation, with slightly more voting Democrat.”
Is NYS, or even Taxachusettes truly a “Blue” State, or are they just “painted” that way, by an intentionally weak State R party, polling and ballot fraud?
Only way to know, is to MAGAFY the State Republican party, by tagging n bagging the RINOS, drive them OUT, and put up some candidates that will seriously campaign, i strad of being an empty suit RINO.
Precinctstrategy.com is designed to take the party back from the grassroots up.
Exactly. Nevada, or example, was never blue and still isn’t except at the top. Washington state was never blue. Oregon is a trade off. Colorado definitely not. State by state they’ve cheated in elections, installed corrupt Leftie District Attorneys, and infiltrated institutions. Even in California, most of the state, geographically, is pure red. The three big CA areas (SF, LA, Bay Area) do not represent the rest of the vast state. CA was filled with ranchers and farmers until the Dems ruined it for just about everyone. If we had true fair elections, most of the country would be pure red.
To your point, Dutchman, even here in “Red” Oklahoma, many aren’t registered or don’t vote because “it doesn’t matter who I vote for, no one does what they say they will do anyway”.
It’s apathy. They believe all politicians regardless of the color of the party are crooks and are going to steal our money and cheat us blind.
They may be correct.
The voter base is composed of makers and takers. The takers, unless paid by the Dems, will only vote straight Dem, or not at all. They only understand what the mockingbird media tells them. Most makers, if they are at all interested, will vote in major elections only if an issue exists that directly affects them.
This off-year election will bring more of both sides to the polls because there are too many issues that affect ALL of us. Pray, and vote out the scoundrels! Swarm the vote on the 8th!
Agreed. It seems that the majority dont ever take into account that the vast majority of biden’s “votes” were fabricated and the people in those states mentioned are not to be blamed for the vote itself. What they and every other American CAN be blamed for is allowing the fraud to stand when it occured and still to this day.
Wearing,
“Allowing the fraud to stand…” Please elaborate on what you suggest should have been done. The political prisoners rotting for almost two years in DC prisons without trial or bail tried to do something about it. ALMOST NO ONE has even acknowledged they are imprisoned in horrible conditions, much less tried to get them out. The Pubs are as bad as the Rats, with a VERY few exceptions (Louis Gohmert, Lauren Boebert).
President Trump was hated and despised by most of the DC Establishment, Pub and Rat. The ONLY people who really supported President Trump were THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, and the fact they did that infuriated the ‘Rats and the GOPe. They decided to show us who was boss, so they unleashed the WuFlu, cheated to get Trump out, and are on their way to staging another, worse, Great Depression.
Please explain, in detail, how you plan to ACTUALLY BEAT these people, not just make a futile sacrifice. Believe me, there are a tremendous number of people (besides the FBI, who you can be sure is listening in) who would love to know some way to do that.
If only we could declare national elections ‘paid national holidays’ requiring voter ID’s. Triple or quadruple the voting sites (erasing the supposed long lines). And paper ballots counted by hand & properly stored as the law already requires for 22 months. Poll workers must be represented by both parties.
Yeah, like heating oil for a Grand a tankful!
That’s what I’m expecting, if not more. Last winter we paid $700, the winter prior it was about $380.
If you want Oil Company Profits to come down… LET THEM DRILL!
More plentiful oil will make Profits and Prices come down.
What about those who didn’t vote for Biden?
That assumes there will be heating oil and/or propane on offer.
It’s worse than that Cathy- I hope all have saved food and perishables…..
How do the goods make it to the store when the U.S.’s diesel fuel supply is running out with very little means to produce more at the rate we need due to Biden’s policies?
They are frantically trying to drag it out past the election and past inauguration day so they can say, “See, the newly elected R’s, only a day in, caused all of this…SEE!!!!”
That is exactly what they are doing. “Red” wave my arse. It’s MAGA or bust.
Allegheny County voted for Biden and will vote blue next week..Our utility bills are always high…we own 4 homes in the area and I panic every time I open a utility bill.
I have an idea. The energy companies can invest in America by promoting Biden’s impeachment. Spend $10 Billion advertising for it. America and the world would be thankful.
Can’t impeach someone who is not President.
Or senile. The figures behind Biden are preparing for this scenario. Can you imagine the endless hours of footage demonstrating his mental incompetence and, thus, not guilty of any charges in a court of law? They are clearly paralleling events with Reagan.
Trump, Joe Potatus, and Hunter will all be arrested. Joe will be the ring leader and shown to control Hunter, thus, Hunter gets off with a slap. Joe will be found incompetent, not face trial and be put out to a pleasant pasture. Trump will be tried, found guilty of something, and, therefore, made ineligible to run for President.
And, the Washington Deep State will be very publicly patting each other on the back for being unbiased and completely nonpartisan in endless videos, tv shows, and late night interviews for bringing to justice a dangerous republican demagogue and corrupt democrats. After all, they hauled in more democrats than the one republican.
And, no one will buy it and the S will HTF.
But how can being convicted of crime prevent him from running
for Office.. The CONSTITUTION spells out the qualifications
for running for President and it mentions noting of
criminal charges disqualifying you nor does it mention
you must show you taxes to run…
And if THEY go that route then THEY become the targets. Using the excuse of dementia puts their necks on the chopping blocks. Let them try.
Unfortunately, he is President regardless of the fraud and what else. He’s sworn in. He’s signing EOs and he’s signing laws. He’s President, so yeah, impeach him.
I have a better idea. Since the World KNOWS biden is a fraud installed, the Energy Companies should completely ignore all illegal., due to the fraud, WH mandates and go about their business like before the fraud. Actually, ALL Americans need to do the same.
They’re starting to panic. The regime is issuing threats a week before election day which means they think they are about to get destroyed by the voters.
Panic PANIC PANICKKK😧😧😧😧😧
‘Widespread Panic”??
W….I….d….e….s….p….r….e….a….d P….a….n….I….c. Whew!
Dog and pony show, this is every election in the last century.
Who is elected is irrelevant, what matters is you believe it’s relevant.
The government fears not.
If this were true they wouldn’t have had to cheat to get PDJT out of office.
Or, they need someone to lead the disenfranchised.
The uncomfortable looming gut feeling to few want to talk about.
They are going to be destroyed by the voters.
I don’t think Democrats are panicking. They’re setting FJB up to take the blame for the economy & possibly the energy situation. He’ll either be Amendment 25’d &/or forced to retire.
They cheat better than anyone else in the world & have contingency plans out the ying yang.
This Senate committee is every bit as complicit in the destruction of US energy production as the Demented Fraud. While the stolen administration’s Secretary testifying, it would have been a prime time to pull out the Fraud’s Executive Orders that destroyed energy production and the subsequent destruction of America’s middle class by the runaway inflation they contributed to.
Doesn’t raising taxes and regulatory costs on industry and businesses just mean they will cut jobs and pass the costs on to the consumer?
Yes, which has been the US governments policy on most everything for a century.
FFFFFUUUUUBBBBAAAARRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oil companies should take windfall profits and buy facebook for cash. Then unleash the first amendment.
I’m sounding more and more sane everyday when I say energy regulation needs to be handed back to the individual States.
You mean take the power to shut down oil refining away from the Feds? I want to know how the Feds assumed that power in the first place.
Yes! I fail to understand why states like Texas have not told OBiden to shove it and produce the energy needed to at least run their own state if nothing else. I hope they will do this in TX before risking freezing, like many did last winter there. The Blue states completely disregard federal laws so why do Red states bend the knee to OBiden’s “Torch America” policies? Look at all of the “Sanctuary”areas where Blue states have decided to flagrantly refuse to obey the law.
Besides what’s happening at the US southern border, the worst example of the Democrat’s willful violation of federal US law is in CA. Here, in violation of the US Bill of Rights, Governor Gavin Newsom ordered ALL churches in CA to shut down and to stay closed due to his indefinite “Emergency” powers, (the latter of which are STILL in place) and EVEN THOUGH the SCOTUS ruled this to be ILLEGAL he CONTINUED to do this. A church in Santa Clara County is STILL facing $$millions in fines for refusing to obey this illegal EO. The Santa Clara City Council REFUSES to reverse these fines, even though these were for a a flagrant violation of US law. County officials also came to the church and demanded to have a list of all of the church members. The church refused, which IMO is another reason why they are being persecuted. This DemonRat Santa Clara City Council also tried to de-bank the church, but after their sycophants at the bank said they were closing the church’s accounts, they soon reversed their position on this when this church’s national chain of sister churches let them know that if they closed the accounts for this church in Santa Clara, that ALL of the sisters churches in the country would be moving their money out of this bank. Many people are naive about what these Democrats are all about. They are globalist Communists and they will stop at NOTHING to achieve their objective to destroy our Republic. It’s time for conservatives to wise up to this and not make concessions.
Mastriano has pledged to do just what you suggest, regarding oil production in Penn.
HE and the MAGA slate are going to do a Federalist challenge on Energy, KL and her slate on Border Security, and all slates (that win) are going to pursue aggressive State control of election integrity, with an agreed upon legislative plan.
We have the makings of a “New Republican Party” growing within the State parties, and we have coordination, resources, etc.
This is where we win and why the country’s founding fathers set up the Constitution and system the way they did. They knew (based on T. Jefferson’s, T. Payne’s, B. Franklin’s, and others’) writing at the time.
They knew corruption would eventually take hold, and they left the citizens many ways to get out, with the final one being the 2nd Amendment. We are not close to using that yet…we have barely touched on the other tools.
The reason Texas really does the very bare minimum is because abbott is an absolute farce as a republican and will never step up and assume the State Authority/Power that he absolutely SHOULD be doing when this country is being lead to destruction by a fraud installed government. Abbott not putting in place steps to close the Texas border due to an Obvious invasion is the perfect example. Him sending a few thousand illegal invaders to DC is total optics if you consider the Hundreds of Thousands (a few million most likely) that have crossed since the day we allowed the fraud to be installed.
You want the man in the wheelchair to “Step Up”??? Hey, you said it, not me!
RFK,jr points out, Churches are protected by the Constitution and they were closed while Liquor Stores are not protected by the Constitution yet allowed to stay open. He isn’t what one would call Conservative either.
Democrats make up the law, yet they don’t have to obey the law.
Yes, herein lies the real question. Ignore the Feds. Screw them!
I’ve had this same question myself for the longest time – “how the Feds assumed that power in the first place.”
I do know that part of the answer lies in the fact that we have “federally owned” lands and so the feds claim sole power over those “federally owned” lands – yet another “thing” that never should have happened.
Well, that’s because the Elite in DC confuse “federally owned” as meaning THEY the ELITES own it. No, it means WE THE PEOPLE own it bought and paid for with our tax dollars (or out right theft from the states).
I agree that the Federal Government cannot own all of this land were the Constitution being followed. They took over the West by declaring land needed to be “protected” from greedy developers so greedy Government developed it instead and kicks out the people whenever it wants to show who is the boss.
The same reason biden was allowed to step a foot in Our WH. Because WE let them.
Wearing,
Answer the question. How were we supposed to stop them? I’m all ears!
McCulloch v. Maryland
Then
Gibbons v. Ogden
Then
Wickard v. Filburn
No business should be regulated by the Feds. Not even by states IMHO, if we are to keep creating an economy that makes the US sustained. It should be the people who personally lift all boats.
If you read the commerce clause, the Congress has the duty to ‘regulate’ commerce between the states.
However, the 18th century definition of the word ‘regulate’ was…’to make regular’…NOT to create obstacles for commerce between entities or states.
So, the commerce clause demanded that Congress make commerce easier between states not demand constraints.
We have been so screwed.
These folks ( our Canadian counterparts too) have added staggering amounts to the cost of energy.
Carbon offsets. Carbon credits. Carbon taxes.
Utter madness…
Human beings are the Carbon ‘they’ will offset.
😂
Only someone who was living under a rock for the last 2+ years would believe this.
Whenever a Demonrat speaks, it is only spewing to its own morbid voter base of roaches. They NEVER speak to the American people across the nation. Just to their own zombies. And those zombies eat it up and waddle along obediently spewing the same vomit.
Just watch the oil companies capitulate and do exactly that.
Funny how a picture of Seth Rich can accomplish so much.
Evil incarnate.
“How does this make sense?”
Fossil fuels have to be the bad actors, always and always. Even when Biden himself is screaming for their help and threatening them in case they disobey. Therefore the mention of the excessive profits for the benefice of dems low info voter.
This condescending stupidity presumes most of the public are dumbed down idiots who haven’t a clue about how the real world works.
That may be true of the Democrat base and the woke radicals, but anyone in the media with even a smidgen of pride should publicly expose this remedial attempt at economics.
What a puerile, pathetic, pandering attempt to dismiss the horrors his party has intentionally created.
Joe the “village idiot” that wants to raise gas to $10 per gallon
I believe that was the stated goal when “the green new deal” was announced. The goal was to drive the price of fuel to $10/gal, in order to make alternative energy cost competitive.
Then, unicorn farts and fairy magic would cause energy infrastructure to spontaneously appear and 100% employment would commence, imbuing all with high paying jobs, fantastic sex lives and general utopia.
AOC & company are geniuses. It only took a weekend and a couple of cases of beer to design how they would improve the USA to a virtual nirvana in a only a few of years.
If I wasn’t so old and ossified, maybe I could have come up with such a brilliant, flawless plan, like these incredibly well educated, brilliant young people. I am not worthy of their brilliance and prostrate myself before their diversity and equity, which is so important to “our democracy”.
“Free economy” & “free enterprise” are myths in the USA. There are ways to get the refineries producing more and lowering prices but they are done by decreasing regulations, increasing competition, increasing opportunities for drilling. Not threats. But then the Biden Regime is doing everything ass backwards.
Biden is doing everything he can to raise the price of gas.
SY,
If he hated this country and was doing his absolute best to destroy it, what, exactly, would FJB be doing differently than what he is doing right now?
@mac, FJB would have blown up major cities by now, blamed Russia Russia Russia and commenced with WWIII.
And maybe he still will. But first he and his treasonous UNiparty co-conspirators will loot and pillage every red cent they can get ahold of before the *looming* financial collapse of their own making.
Biden is barely alive. Someone else is destroying the country.
Brilliant strategy, Joe…
Now go back to playing, “Pin the tail on the donkey.”
Or as Bo used to call it.. “The old okey-doke!”
“I DEMAND YOU DO ALL THE THINGS THAT I DEMANDED YOU STOP DOING! OR ELSE!”
For another 6 days anyways, then back to business as usual.
Democrats deliberately reduced oil production and refining capacity with the expressed goal of increasing prices, now they are getting ready to double down while blaming the oil industry.
These people are evil.
Absolute children leading the totally befuddled.
Great tweet from the potted plant. Now do Pfizer and Moderna.
The Biden administration has finally revealed how they are going to completely destroy the American economy. They are going to use the leftist technique known as price controls. Then they will blame the producers for their lack of production.
In reality, they and their allies are to blame for the lack of oil and gas investment. Who would invest in new oil and gas production when the government promises to reduce oil and gas use and the Net-Zero Banking Alliance refuses to give them loans?
Say whaaat Joe?
“US Americans” – -or – – “China versus over American workers”
Look for US$10 per gallon fuel after the midterms.
We can look forward to all manner of BS once it no longer matters (after the election).
So now the evil, corrupted, demented FJB claims the power, by unilateral decree, to raise the taxes on an industry?
And what’s a so-called “excessive” profit? Who gets to determine same? How would one calculate it? I know, let’s ask Obama – he did claim, recall, paraphrasing, “that at some point you’ve earned enough.”
This tweet, written by whomever – will be “bought” by the same people who believe that the minimum wage can just be dictated, that all businesses can – by seeming magic – simply pay more for a wage without affecting any other price inputs or outputs.
The same premise is employed here in “FJB”‘s tweet – that the oil industry can just magically lower its prices – because after all, they – the oil companies – are just being greedy – earning excessive profits and all, when they could, according to FBJ, simply lower their prices and still earn a profit, just as long as their profits are not excessive. Right.
Italian job. You’re economic chops are rooted in 50 years ago. It ain’t the same world. Yes, in fact the oil companies could lower their profits by 100%. And make just as much as they did last year. That wasn’t good enough for you? And you’re going to defend them? Why? Do you not believe American government has a role to protect Americans from predatory multinationals? If not them, who? What issue could be more important to you?
The predatory multinationals are Blackrock, Vanguard and Pharmaceutical Companies.
“Excessive profits”?
How about we look at Pfizer, Moderna, J&J if we’re gonna talk about excessive profits?
FJB
If you have a diesel vehicle keep the tank full. Both for security and to hurt Democrats.
And it is a hedge against inflation.
Every 4 weeks or so, diesel goes up about a dollar a gallon in Los Angeles, CA. Paid over $6/gal a week ago.
Buy it when it is cheaper.
they are trying to demonize the oil companies.. trying to transfer the higher cost blame onto the oil companies..
the U.S. has become just another Country customer at the gas pump.. the oil companies don’t give a shit about the gubmint raising taxes and regulations.. they will just increase the price accordingly and pass the cost on to the American consumer..
the congressional uniparty communists know this will happen.. it is what they want.. they are dismantling and destroying America..
and what state governor is doing anything about it.. none.. that can only mean one thing.. they are mere domestic NATO minions now..
“In essence, lower the prices and increase production or Joe Biden will increase the prices and lower production. How does this make sense?”
It makes sense in the crazy manipulative and abusive gaslit world of the current surreal regime.
The Plan all along has been to increasingly constrict US energy and transportation infrastructure.
The puppet started a series of Executive Actions (EOs) on his first day on office doing that, aimed at oil and gas.
Then:
A series of actions pushing EVs, including reinstating unrealistic fuel economy standards Trump had rolled back, which cannot be met without shifting more of the fleet to EVs.
The US proxy war in Ukraine, and the sanctions creating severe oil and gas shortages in the EU making things even worse.
(The NS and NS2 severing to further increase gas shortages, as well as cutting off the means of retreat that Germany had been eyeing in the forced proxy war.)
Now: After crippling the oil industry with plandemic-induced demand shocks and equipment supply shortages, on top of the EOs etc., the puppet issues unrealistic demands for metrics that would cause oil industry collapse. With the threat of imposing collapse by other means if they do not comply. They are “damned if they do, damned if they don’t”, and the puppet regime will blame them either way.
This is the typical twisted Machiavellian approach of the current regime.
The bigger question is: What is really going on here? Is it (A) the regime is just a group of idiots who think they are clever in pushing us away from petroleum to “save the planet”? Or could it actually be (B) part of a Plan to effect a “managed decline” of the US Bloc? (The GR)
There are so many things aligned with (B) that it is difficult to dismiss it.
What I don’t get is why all these multinational corporations put up with this nonsense to begin with. Do they hold no clout within these Deep State/Globalist regimes?
Well, maybe these multinational companies could “coexist” if they flexed their muscles *against* the New World Order every now and again.
Who gave these demented globalists all that raw power in the first place?
Do any of these multinational companies truly believe they will continue their obscene profit-making without the participation of the American consumer and the western world? Do they think they can kill that golden goose, their largest consumer base, and that Quid pro Joe or some other schmucks will offer them a fair deal *after* the global economy tanks?
Dream on, multinationals. Dream on.
If Biden was in charge of the Sahara Desert he’d run out of sand.
This is becoming a circular firing squad.
Our great leader issues a warning from the 8th dimension. End of discussion!
In other words, the Biden Administration will destroy the oil industry as promised; one way or another.
I think Biden is living in an out of control psychotic world of drugs and dementia all mixed with hubris and greed. It must be a hell on earth. I would not want to be him. His handlers had best get right with GOD, they are in for a real trial.
What’s the excuse for the rest of the TREASONOUS CO-CONSPIRATORS who installed Quid Pro Joe against the will of the American people?
FJB is merely window dressing, as are all the interchangeable players in our DC swamp. They answer to a foreign entity that rigs our elections on their behalf.
There is no excuse for them except treason. Or maybe ignorance
POTATUS
Ha, ha, ha…”we will follow the science…”. Cute! And I always love when they use phrases like “robust and transparent .. processes “.
Joe can you define excessive profits? What does that mean for you?
And, Joe, will those taxes for excessive profits also apply to elected officials who make millions off stock purchases based on insider information concerning government contracts and regulations, partners with elected officials who are awarded large contracts cuz their friends in Congress gave it to them? Will it apply to elected officials’ family members who get large government contracts because of their position in government?
So, FJB, please explain the excess profits comment because I want to understand if that means money made above and beyond the elected official salary (you know, the only money legally permitted to be made while in office) because many citizens would like to understand how an official making approx $170,000 a year is now worth over $20 million in two years while starting off as a broke ass bartender?
Those of us not making nearly$170k/yr would like to understand how to have the same return on our median income of 80k/yr so that we can be worth a few million after two years.
I bet the “five year plan” was a democrat grifting plan–I am not sure of course, but it sounds like more projection of blame towards someone else.
He should be first President tried for treason and then do Obama
Biden forgiving student loans and increasing taxes for oil companies?
Is he in Congress?
Because that’s who does those things.
Like listening to 4 year olds arguing about what is the best crayon color.
The same SOB who’s done EVERYTHING In his power to cripple the US’ energy production is now demanding that the oil companies raise production? That’s RICH!
Beyond stupid that Americans are allowing this idiocy to continue.
So here you have projection. This gibbering old fool of a man blames the oil companies for what he did as soon as he came into office. But of course the normies have already forgotten that. They believe this tweeting twit POS, especially because he tweeted it!
It doesn’t make sense, but making sense never stopped FJB from opening his pie hole. Ever.
It makes about as much sense as my step father saying “stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about!”
Raise taxes and increase regulation? Silly halfway measures. Just nationalize our oil industry. Hugo Chavez is looking for a job.
And Apple just made 90bln in the last quarter. Not a word about lowering iPhone costs
To which the oil companies replied: Bye! Done!
