On his first day in office, President Joe Biden embarked on a campaign to rein in domestic oil and gas production. On his 204th day in office, he was pleading with OPEC to increase its production to stem the sharp rise in gasoline prices, to which OPEC said no dice.
Virtually overnight, the nation has gone from Trump-era “energy dominance” to a Carter-era energy crisis.
But unlike Jimmy Carter, who blundered his way into gasoline shortages, Biden is intentionally creating

Democrats HATE Americans being free. Having wealth is a fundamental source of freedom. They are threatened if someone outside their cliques and associates acquire wealth similar to theirs, because that's one more person they can't control.
They are happiest, when they feel like feudal lords surrounded by serfs.

The really sad part is that the fools who voted for him in 2020 will probably vote for him again in 2024....if he still has a pulse.

Simple, we let a rigged election put a communist with dementia in as president, and the people that controlled him put us on the road to a full communist state by putting in policies to control the country instead of making it a great country.

It took a team, Joe and the Ho, with occasional appearances by AOC, Bernie Sanders, Jon Carry and the rest of Joe's very thin bench. Their heads are in the clouds so they think they are climate experts.

We watched a Biden created disaster unfold in the past week. There is another Biden disaster that will unfold coming in the winter season. The natural gas and coal fired plants that were curbed by this vindictive buffoon, Biden, will pay dividends this winter with misery. What happened in Texas should have been a lesson but it could happen on a national basis if these green peace warriors keep up. You all witnessed and heard fraudster, Joe Biden, and what he thought of the Afghan people and Americans stranded in country. That's the same speech you'll hear about the plight of Americans in the winter season, count on it.

We didn't lose anything. We're still energy independent. We're just not using our energy. Only stupid people do what the demosluts have done.

The average crude price in 2020 was $39.68 cents. In the United States, prices generally less than $50 yield an operating loss. You're a patriotic American producer. How much for how long will you produce as your patriotic duty? You're a refiner. How much American crude are you going to buy at $10/bbl over market price to "buy American"? Oil wells are expensive to drill, to operate and to maintain. So, while losing cash on production, watch your other cash flow, too. Is this a good business model?
Nothing Biden has done has stopped one drop from coming to market. American producers have done that as a sound business practice. They're largely in a holding pattern. Flooding the market with $18/bbl oil benefits no one except the consumer...until the market collapses for lack of supply.

The Demonrats wanted us subservient, and unable to move around the country freely.
For some reason, extreme leftists are thrown into a rage by observing ordinary people enjoying a free, pleasant, comfortable lifestyle, and they are furiously driven to make sure that it doesn't continue. One of the best ways to enslave us all and make us miserable is to remove the energy required to power all the modern conveniences which power the American lifestyle.
They just hate us being free.

We don't call him "Obiden" on here for nothing. But Soros, Globalists, and the Dinks are in on the deal, too.
