The US-Saudi relationship soured when President Joe Biden took office, and now Biden’s reelection prospects may suffer, too.
Back on Nov. 21, 2018, just two weeks after the midterm elections, then-President Donald Trump celebrated recent declines in the global oil price with a tweet, ending with: “Thank you to Saudi Arabia, but let’s go lower.”
About six weeks earlier, the West Texas Intermediate oil price had peaked at $76.40 per barrel.
By Nov. 6, when American voters took to the polls, it was at $61.69 — a fall of around 24% in only a month.

Democrats won’t lose as as long as there are mail in ballots and trucks to drive them where democrat votes are needed.

#1, and as long as the local citizens don't get involved and shut the cheating down, instead of relying on compromised local institutions that are tasked with such things.

The only way to affect/lower prices is to drill baby drill. Biden does the opposite so he is 100% to blame.
Trucks maybe hard to find at over $6/gal diesel, the price of cheating will be a lot higher this time.

I posted earlier, elsewhere: $5.599/gal in San Diego County yesterday; $5.999 for premium - and that was at Costco. $60 for half a tank in my little Altima. It's real, this time.

About two months before the election, Biden will dump what's left of the strategic reserves into the market.

And Biden keeps running commercials how great the economy is with all the legislation passed on his watch. The disconnect with reality should be evident even to the most lowfo Democrat voter every time they fill up. The Republicans need to run ads how the Biden policies are hurting their families.

#6 may have a point. But I believe they have been quietly "dumping" what is left of the reserve to keep the prices as
"low" as they have been recently. If the SPR is truly nearly empty, there is no way for prices to go but UP. If we have a true emergency, we are going to some form of rationing. That's going to be as popular as hell. Forget about the price, how do you explain going from energy independence needing to whip out your "ration book" at the pumps?
Americans have done it before, but it was necessary due to that little WWII thing....

There's no way a Pubbie can win without Divine Intervention, or Civil War II.

#1 has it right, Biden knows he can cheat just enough in the "swing" states" to win.
His policies are in ruins, and he doesn't care.

Everything that you consume has some type of fossil fuel involved in the process of production and delivery. There may be a time when we can lean heavily on electrical power. That time is not now. FJB and all the rest of them that cya his butt everyday.

Re#8. We had divine intervention in 2016. The nation squandered the reprieve to repent. The judgement of the nation resumed in January 2021, and I don't know if the nation will be given another chance.

The HairSniffer's handlers are doing all they can to weaken and destroy America.
One of their many 'fronts' in the war on America is to cut off the fuel supply- Coal, Petroleum, Natural Gas.
The price goes up, the price of everything else goes up as a result, and the real result is to destroy the value of the Dollar. Foreign nations who for decades relied on the Dollar as the stable 'reserve' currency for international trade, are seeing the value of their Dollars plummet, and are working to set up a new, Gold-backed stable currency to use for international trade.
Remember what Lenin said: "The surest way to attack the Capitalist State is to debauch the currency."
And that is EXACTLY what The HairSniffer's handlers are doing.

The wicked media will report 41 percent approval and Biden leading Trump by a point right up until they deliver the appropriate 3 am ballots. It amazes me how after three straight steals in my home state, people are ready to jump into the sandbox to lose again. I will vote, but we all know what happens.

Premium gasoline at my corner station is $ 6.999, one tenth of a cent short of $ 7. I call it seven dollars. Fortunately Illegal Aliens do not receive free gas. But the do suck out from Americans $2,200 per month ad infinitum as refugees. The average SS paycheck is $1,400. If man and wife enter separately they suck out from our taxes $4,400 per month and need not work.This is not what Burisma pays, but these are plain illiterate Illegal Aliens unrelated to the Bribemes.
