In retaliation against the Supreme Court’s recent decision to stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from forcibly shutting down America’s fossil fuel industry – at least to the degree and pace at which this is currently happening – the Biden regime is now threatening to close the country’s largest oil field.
According to reports, the EPA is readying itself to cite the Texas-based oil field, known as the Permian Basin, for supposedly violating “ozone pollution standards.” That citation could be the move that drives a final nail in the coffin of America’s last remaining traces of energy independence, which is exactly what the Biden regime wants to do.
“According to the Texas Governor’s Office, the proposed regulations will directly affect the Permian Basin, the largest oil field in the United States, accounting for 95,000,000 gallons of gasoline per day or 40% of the oil produced domestically,” one report explains about the situation.
“This would be just one more move from Biden’s administration to impact the lives of every American by reducing the fuel supply and causing gas prices to soar well beyond Biden’s record of $5 per gallon.”
Former EPA Chief of Staff Mandy Gunasekara told reporters this week that even though Americans are paying the highest gas prices ever in our nation’s history, to the demise of many of them and their families, “team Biden continues to double down on their political commitments to ‘end all fossil fuels.'”
Biden promised a cold, dark winter – and it is coming soon Much of America seems to be asleep at the wheel in terms of recognizing that our lives and livelihoods are now being used as political fodder by the “green”-loving left to get back at the Supreme Court for taking aim at the climate change agenda.
If the Permian Basin gets shut down by Biden and his cronies, you can be sure that energy prices now will look like a bargain later on, especially come wintertime when everyone starts running their heaters.
“It’s going to be a cold, deadly winter in the United States,” wrote a commenter at 100percentfedup.com.
If you think inflation is bad now, added another, just wait because you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
“They want this for us and I am not exaggerating: subsistence living!” this person added. “Biden also campaigned on raising taxes! Who is stopping him?”
The answer, of course, is nobody. Nobody is stopping the Biden regime because America has become too divided (and emotional) and too distracted to get much of anything done except a continued descent into absolute totalitarianism.
Someone else interjected that he likes Russian President Vladimir Putin far more than he could ever like Biden, even though the latter is supposedly our president.
“Both parties are garbage,” this person further stated. “Biden is a total lunatic. I’d like to ask him face to face how it feels to be the worst president this country has ever had.”
Others pointed out that Democrats buy gasoline just like Republicans do, and that it is shocking to see the left mostly ignore the destruction of all of us at the hands of the Biden regime.
“Did people not believe Biden when he promised to end oil?” asked someone else rhetorically. “Did you really think he wouldn’t try to take your AR-15? Welcome to the end, America.”
“How much longer is this going to go on?” asked another about Biden’s wicked reign over the country. “This demented, cadaverous, feeble-minded old man is a threat to our country.”

How do oil fields produce ozone?
Is the EPA saying that eventually the refined oil will be burned in engines or power plants, so it can be regulated?
That would be the same argument that gun manufacturers are liable for crimes committed using a gun.
I don’t really know, but are the pumps that pull the oil out of the ground run by electric motors? Electric motors create ozone....................
Outside of a civil war, how does Dementia Joe propose to shut down oil drilling in Texas in direct contravention of the US Supreme Court?
Arrest the employees and staff of the oil companies, probably.................
Amen......
Perhaps, but alas, boone pickens died.

You talking about the man that ran a Green Mail scam on Phillips Petroleum.
He damn near destroyed the company and Bartlesville,OK.
Never underestimate the power of a tyrant being a tyrant................
So what?
I love him. He was a truly great man
We will just have to disagree.
Texas should.just ignore the Biden regulations. What will they do? Send troops to shut down the oil fields?

“... The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984
Biden would simply respond, "I got 81 million votes.* Hurrrrr. Durrrrrrr."
*Not really, IMO
Along with tariffs on finished goods/textiles and none on raw materials like cotton.
Biden’s administration to impact the lives of every American by reducing the fuel supply.
Yes it puts a strangle hold on everything then make news rules. Xi is his friend for a reason comply or die true American Marxism in action.
They were all in the Capitol Building on Jan 6. Lock them up and throw away the key.
“Biden is what happens after you let China mail in their vote.”
Exactly.
This evil a-hole and his vile puppetmasters are deliberately destroying our country.
