President Joe Biden will announce a ban on Russian energy on Tuesday following relentless pressure from Republican and Democratic lawmakers in a move that could send gas prices even higher. Calls to act have mounted since late last month when Russia's authoritarian leader Vladimir Putin ordered an unprovoked and bloody invasion of Ukraine.European allies, who rely far more on the Kremlin's energy exports, are reportedly not joining the ban but were consulted by US officials, Bloomberg first reported. The president is expected to address the nation on measures 'to continue to hold Russia accountable' at 10:45 a.m. Eastern Time at the White House.

A ban on Russian energy must, that is MUST, be accompanied by an EO opening all of the spigots of American energy production. None of the Saudi, Iranian nor Venezuelan crap. American energy must be allowed to operate full bore.

Joey Biden the mental midget moron globetrots looking for oil when all he has to do is turn the oil valve to the left and let it flow.
How can a moron along with his green peace idiots hate fossil fuel so much then shop for it? Ban fossil fuel outlaw it what use is it to the EC, solar panel, windmill crowd. Oh wait there's oil inside those big windmills we can't have that. FJB

Welcome to the New World Order or as they say today, The Great Reset or is it the old Jimmy Carter with some Commie upgrades? Here are the new orders: You will stay home, you will not drive your gas guzzler vehicles, you will not eat meat, you will live like the 3rd world, except us the privileged ones, and you will obey the New World Orders or you will not buy or sell. This is the Book of Revelation living out today. Take the Mark of the Beast, 666, on your hand or your forehead.

Who needs the Chinese Wuhan Bioweapon flu to impose a lockdown over the entire country when you can jack up the price of gasoline by your domestic war on our energy industry and once again force people to stay locked down in their home, all the while blaming the high gas prices on a war that your foreign policies helped create. Though in skyrocketing food prices and you can really have everyday Americans by the throat.
Do not be fooled this is all going according the the Communist Death Democrats plan to destroy our country and make us their slaves.
We cannot last another six months with these illegally installed communist death democrats in power. This is now degenerating into a daily fight of survival.
F Joe Biden and his fellow communist democrats.
Anyone at this point who identifies and votes for Communist Death Democrats is a traitor and our enemby.
Sic Semper Tyrannis!

Dammit, open the taps on our OWN OIL! We have plenty, and there are huge quantities in the Canadian Athabasca Tar Sands, which would feed the pipeline.
And the Venezuelan crude is very, very thick, very high in asphalt content, must have special heated handling all the way through to make it flow. It can only be handled at a few US refineries, which were specifically designed for this nasty stuff many decades ago. Since little Venezuelan crude has been flowing, I wonder if these refineries are still in operation or if in operation, can they even still handle this glop?
US CRUDE or Canadian crude, no Venezuelan or Iranian crude, you corrupt fools.

Gee, if only the USA had oil and natural gas resources of its own to use.
Well, at least Venezuela and Iran will start making some extra money.
And Joe will get his 10%

These huge increases in energy prices were completely unavoidable. All Biteme and the demosluts had to do was keep what Trump had in place. The higher prices for gas shouldn't even be an issue, but Biteme refuses to allow American energy companies to produce more oil. Plus, while oil leases are available, the Biteme administration has placed so many regulations on these leases, even with oil at $130 a barrel, it doesn't make economic sense for oil companies to drill.

Biden has also banned conservatives from speaking, employment, assembly, legitimate voting, not having illegal searches, not having privacy, and freedom from threats and intimidation. Weaponizing business us not a good idea for citizens or countries. I demand Biden be removed from office immediately.

Indeed, #12. They're completely intentional. Putting oil and coal out of business through price pressures was a priority for Obama (and openly such, until he got elected POTUS and had the web systematically scrubbed of all the video clips showing interviews in which he said just that). And former President Momjeans is still calling the shots (or at least the figurehead for the one pulling his strings).

If Europe were to do the same it would make a major impact on Russia. But this is just virtue signaling. The bit we pass on will get sold to the Chinese at a slightly lower (but still ridiculously high) rate. That's nice for China, but bad for us.
