It takes an epic level of chutzpah for a president to do his best to suppress production of oil and gas by blocking pipelines and putting federal lands off limits, and then complain when the prices of oil and gas rise. President Biden achieved the ultimate absurdity by blocking production of petroleum products in the U.S, and then begging Russia and Saudi Arabia to increase their production to bring prices down. This is a level of cosmic stupidity that we may not see again in our lifetimes.
There is more going on than sheer incompetence, however. The truth is that the Democrats want oil and gas to be more expensive. They have been admitting as much, in their more candid moments, for the last twenty years. This is a key part of their grand design to force the rest of us to depend on expensive, unreliable and environmentally damaging “green” energy.
The Democrats’ problem is that no one can run for office on a platform of, “The price of gasoline is up 43%! Home heating is up 80%! I did that! On purpose. Because I think it’s good for you to pay more!” On the contrary, “I did that” is a rebel meme along the lines of “Let’s go Brandon!”

Then beg to OPEC to boost production.
C’mon man, Scanton Joe, has made a 50-year career out of lying, plagiarizing, exaggeration, evasion, and deception, all the while back slapping, grinning, and pretending he is not a wealthy and corrupt politician but a man of the people. For the people who voted for him and/or promoted him to pretend otherwise is disingenuous to speak mildly. Joe is the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and all the denizens of the D.C. swamp knew it and wanted him to for that very reason.
They hate Trump for the reason that he wanted to drain the swamp. Now, it may well be that Trump can be boastful, brash, and obnoxious. But he had the right priority: drain the swamp. And it was good for America.
Impeach 46.
