When U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was asked a direct question about skyrocketing gas prices, her response was as telling as it was disappointing. Instead of offering middle-class Americans an explanation or an apology or a sliver of hope, she let out a hearty laugh.
“Oh my…that is hilarious! As you know, oil is a global market. It is controlled by a cartel, that cartel is called OPEC, and they made a decision yesterday that they were not going to increase [production] beyond what they were already planning.”

Then why, you condescending ignorant incompetent, were prices so much lower under Trump and we were a net exporter of energy? Could shutting down pipelines and leases have anything to do with it? You and Heels Up are in a tie for “most inappropriate cackling.”

What’s worse is that we all know this would never have happened under President Trump. He was all in for this country and its people. This pathetic anti-American Obama sock puppet is deliberately destroying this country. Sitting here at home watching this devastation is like watching someone slowly knife a loved one to death knowing there is nothing you can do to stop it. It is maddening. How much more are we supposed to take? Every single decision this reprehensible administration has made has been done for the sole purpose of destroying our economy, our sovereignty, our culture, our military and law enforcement, our expectation of justice, our way of life, and the promise of a bright future for our grandchildren. And why? Simply because a corrupt and lawless political party has illegally gained control of this Republic and is running it into the ground in order to turn it into a communist nightmare. This death by a thousand cuts is torture for freedom loving Americans to endure. It did not have to be this way. Our own party has betrayed us with their inexplicable acceptance of election theft despite knowing the direction this vile administration would take us. Truly, the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing.

We are easier to control when we are not able to have free movement. Control movement, food, the ability to heat and cool our homes, take over health care, total control of your children (can you say government run daycare centers and preK) mandate what you MUST do, and on and on. This should scare everyone who actually thinks you will have any freedoms left by the time these jokers are out of office. With dementia joe saying that paying illegals was garbage and then a day later denying he said that (hello! video tape!) is a sure sign of dementia. Who is behind the curtain running this country into that worm hole to hell? I want a biden supporter to tell me just exactly what they are supporting.

This is a demonstration of why it is dangerous to have so many old geriatric people like Biden, Pelosi, Feinstein, Schumer, McConnell in power. (Trump is the exception.) Their minds are too stuck in the past and they use old ideas trying to understand a new world in front of their faces. They have been dealing with OPEC for so many years that they cannot adjust their minds to the fact that Trump had broken OPEC control. Granholm and Biden are like slaves going back to their old masters because they cannot deal with freedom. They are in a Trump world offering Jimmy Carter solutions.
Obama's smart-ass comment "that the 90's called and want their policy back" can now be updated to "the 70's called"... The Brandon Administration is so out of touch with reality, they are like great-grandpa wandering down the hall of the nursing home talking about the Great Depression.

Well, Granholm, when Iran destroyed 20% of Saudi Arabia's oil production with that missile strike, our price at the pump didn't change. I know because I watched for them to every day for over a week.
Why didn't it? Because we had all the oil we needed here and were immune to its effects.
But Biden has done more damage to our production than Iran could with missile strikes.

Weakened is a totally inadequate choice of words. The Biden administration is trying to shut down coal and oil production, and it is happening rapidly, as energy companies have abandoned almost all of their capital projects. Biden is shutting off energy production with no replacement available. We will have a cold winter, high gas prices, and food shortages will develop around the world. It is a Biden made disaster.

Oil is Global.
Biden raised the price of energy for all the world when he signed those EO's destroying our oil independence.
I am truly surprised the rest of te world isn't screaming their heads off at the moronic move.

I predicted the Biden handlers would skyrocket energy prices including home utilities, heat and electricity as reimbursement. When there are 133 million registered voters in all states and territories on election day, President Trump had how many votes?, I could see this coming and bought energy equities. The voter fraud states will pay.

This is the plan, ruin America.This makes it so much easier for " The Great Reset " . Trump talked about what the left would do, how destructive they would be, we are now living it. Great cities turned into lawless slums, government planned inflation, the creeping abolishment of the middle class with every government manufactured crisis . Can you say supply chain? Border? What border ? Gas prices going up ? Good , we want you to go electric. The MSM, ( PR arm of the dem party ) telling you at every turn you are not seeing what you're seeing, you don't know what you know. It goes on and on.

Consider this: For years, since the Nixon Administration, the OPEC cartel has called the tune on oil pricing by manipulating supply to the non-Communist bloc. They could cut supply for political or economic purposes, and did. It was very clear to the industrial nations who had who by the short hairs. The West was beyond peak oil, and the end was near...acid rain...global cooling...etc.
The West played this game for decades. And then along came Saddam's invasion of Kuwait, and the UAE and Saudis saw an existential problem. They needed the West's military to protect them. And part of the price was a loosening of the oil fist.
Oil recovery technology improved. "Peak oil" was proven erroneous. Fracking created excess supply. OPEC lost its monopoly, now having to compete.
One wonders what they would pay to regain that leverage, or a major portion, when it came to pricing. The USA would likely play ball for a price...and one wonders whether it has. The supply is there. The wells are drilled, many never having been tapped. So, government disrupts the ability to deliver for refinement or export. And what happens to price? It's not like those sheiks, prices and kings are beneath a bit of influence buying.

Granholm and the transportation kid, and others, are merely figureheads. It's appears they are not charged with solving problems. Everything is run directly by the WH, whoever those people are. It's pretty obvious their goal is to make a shambles of everything.

The intentional weakening of America’s strategic energy position is treasonous.. And he’s not done yet. If any nation had been able to accomplish this against us, America would not have stood for it. But it was the DEMOCRATS who did this to us.

Why do so many conservatives think that this administration wants lower energy prices. They have been chomping at the bit to ensure that prices go sky high, which is the very essence of this article. The only "failures" are on the American people for sitting back and griping about the rising energy prices, while this administration continues to dismantle the U. S. energy industry, unabated. Continuing to do nothing will ensure mass starvation and third-world status.

I would rather he yell than to whisper. That is truly weird. FJB has joined the group called Associated Sons of Satan. A.S.S. for short. I just realized there are many female members also. That is the 21st Century upgrade.

It would actually be hilarious if it wasn't so dangerous to have Biden in the White House, but every time he
1. Leans in and whispers what he obviously thinks is his gem of wisdom or
2. Gets that glare in his eyes and punches his index finger at us like we're naughty children and yells...
...in both cases he's acting out exactly like a doddering old senile fool.
I'd laugh at him if it wasn't clear that the wreckage is coming from Barack Obama. His total transformation of America was delayed for four years, but is in overdrive now.
