It is day 29 of the Biden regime and he still had not taken a single action that benefits Americans. He has, however, taken action to benefit a lot of other countries. Not only do his actions not benefit Americans, they will cost YOU money, and a lot of it.
Under Trump the US was energy independent. Biden fixed that. His actions have smashed oil production by 40%. So far. The price of gasoline is up 18% and will continue to climb. That will translate into increases in heating oil and electricity. Actions such as canceling the Keystone XL pipeline are causes a spike in jobless claims. YOU will be paying more.
Biden has thrown open the door for illegal aliens. Right now it costs almost $60 billion to educate the children of illegal aliens. That comes largely off the backs of local municipalities in the form of property taxes. Biden plans to quadruple of number of economic refugees over Trump era levels. That mean another 125,000 unskilled non-English speaking persons who have to be supported financially. That means YOU will pay for it. We are told in commercials that one in seven children in America goes to bed hungry. Now we will put those hungry children even further down the list of priorities.
Biden has rejoined the US to the Paris Accords. Even without it the US was leading the world in CO2 emission reduction (even with John Kerry included). The UN concluded "America Is Already Cutting So Much Carbon It Doesn’t Need The Paris Climate Accord." The Paris Accord was a lousy deal for America right from the start:
China, on the other hand is not subject to the same restrictions. In 2020 it built 3 times as many coal fired power plants as did the rest of the entire world. Both China and India are largely off the hook. That's what that crafty obama negotiated. The cost of the Paris Accord to the US?The poorly negotiated Paris climate accord imposed unfair, unworkable and unrealistic targets on the United States for reducing carbon emissions.
As the climate deal punished America’s energy producers with expensive and burdensome regulations, it gave other countries U.S. taxpayer-funded subsidies and generous timelines.
Countries like China got a free pass to pollute for over a decade. With abundant low-cost coal, China and India would put our manufacturers at a huge competitive disadvantage. Economic costs would be severe.
According to the National Economic Research Associates, if we met all of our commitments as part of the Paris climate agreement, it would cost the American economy $3 trillion and 6.5 million industrial sector jobs by 2040. We don’t need to cripple our economy to protect our environment. America’s emissions actually continue to decline, and we are the world’s driver of innovative solutions. Since 2005, the United States has reduced its combustion-related carbon dioxide emissions more than any other nation in the world. Global emissions have moved in the opposite direction.
U.S. participation in the pact would cost the average family of four $20,000 and the national GDP $2.5 trillion by 2035, according to The Heritage Foundation. The resulting reduction in global temperatures: a nearly unmeasurable 0.015 degrees Celsius in 2100.In fact, even the gasbag John Kerry has admitted that if the US emissions dropped to zero it would make no difference
WASHINGTON — President Biden’s climate czar, John Kerry, admitted Wednesday that the US reducing its emissions to zero wouldn’t make much of a difference in the global climate change fight — before pushing domestic manufacturing of electric cars and solar panels in favor of energy production.Because the Paris Accord has no teeth, which means only democrats would force it upon us. And it's going to cost YOU for this moronic symbolism.Kerry’s remarks were made ahead of Biden’s signing of a host of executive actions on Wednesday pushing his $2 trillion Green New Deal-inspired climate agenda.
“He knows Paris alone is not enough,” Kerry told reporters at a White House press briefing, referring to Biden re-entering the US in the Paris Climate Agreement in one of his first acts as president.
“Not when almost 90 percent of all of the planet’s global emissions come from outside of US borders. We could go to zero tomorrow and the problem isn’t solved,” Kerry conceded.
The former secretary of state, now Biden’s climate envoy, acknowledged that it would be difficult to bring the world’s top polluters to the table, including China, which produces 30 percent of the world’s carbon emissions.
And finally we come to Iran. The other day Biden signaled Iran that he would not retaliate for an Iranian proxy attack on US assets:

Is he gonna make us click on his blog like a jobless pimp?
Hello Humble! How’s your grey beauty?
His Fraudulency is a puppet.
President Le Petomane decides nothing.
At least my energy stocks are doing well. Oil&gas, pipeline and refineries will help me beat all the inflation the leftists are causing.
Done and done. Some places in town charging $3.00+ for 85 octane. 😕
$2.60 a gallon of gasoline here in Tamps. 4 months ago, I was paying $1.85 per gallon.
I miss Trump. I also miss the extra money going out of my pocket.
Look on the bright side.... at least you are more “woke” now.
Hard to put a price on that! /s
Can’t wait for OPEC to become a thing we care about again.
Reparations are being imposed as payback for frightening the Swamp,
by sending Trump.
Mostly hibernating.
We've had a bit of a cold & challenging week.
We’re So Screwed. :(
I am expecting $6 to $8 by the end of the year here in Fl. I can’t justify going to work at that price without 20 hours of overtime.
Yes. I just call him the Sock Puppet.
Sock Pervert is more appropriate, imho.
Democrat plague continues spreading faster than expected.
But But But... We can all get good paying union jobs at the solar panel factory for $15 an hour. That’ll be great.
When does the hyper-inflation hit?
Just defy authority. Works for the pinko’s.
