Americans are struggling under the weight of crippling inflation, from skyrocketing gas prices to exorbitant grocery bills. And even if few Americans thought the Biden Administration had a plan to combat these things—especially considering the fact that their spending and regulatory problems directly created them—I’m betting most Americans didn’t think the President would take obvious actions to immediately make things worse either.
Yet, that is what he did this week, canceling one of the most important oil and gas leases at the country’s disposal in the middle of the night. This action will halt the potential to drill for oil in over 1 million acres on the Cook Inlet in Alaska, marking a devastating loss for those trying to increase the oil supply in the country.
A top official with the American Petroleum Institute, the country’s largest oil and gas trade association, called the cancellation of the Cook Inlet lease “another example of the administration’s lack of commitment to oil and gas development in the US.”
According to The Hill, “canceling the sale would be in keeping with political promises President Joe Biden made in the name of halting global warming.”
Not only did the Biden Administration cut this lease, they also stopped two other pending leases in the Gulf of Mexico claiming there were “conflicting court rulings that impacted work on these proposed lease sales.”
This is a problem of basic Econ 101. High prices clearly demonstrate the country needs more oil and gas. But instead of opening up the supply chain, the Biden Administration continues to restrict it in numerous ways—proxy wars in Russia, trade wars, and now canceling leases that would allow us to develop our own resources.

It’s shocking. 😳🥺😰😱
And the idiots that enabled it keep doubling down as if it’s working.
I talk to a few of them.
Total disconnect from the disaster they helped create. It will affect them too. No one can escape the impact.
Yep
Just wait until his second term. He is just getting warmed up.
sure they do. they want gas high.
As an aside, there is no such thing as a fossil fuel. Petroleum, yes. Fossil fuel, no.
Pinko-warming can KMA! We had snow here in Fairbanks yesterday. This has been the longest and crappiest breakup/spring I can recall and I’ve been here for 29 years. The past 2 summers have been rainy and cool in the interior.
If this is globull warming, the pinkos can keep it! My wife has already said to me, “If this summer is a repeat of the last 2, you’re going to be seriously wanting to move, won’t you.” Of course I will! Summers in the interior of Alaska can be downright heavenly, and it’s most of what has kept me up here all these years.
Biden’s mental process: Must destroy Middle Class Must destroy Middle Class Must destroy Middle Class Must destroy Middle Class ...................
The problem is NOT lack of commitment. It is perverse commitment to reducing the supply and raising the price.
We have got to get that goofball out ot the position of power and quickly. He is rendering this country without the fuel they need for everyday life. He is an electric car idiot. He knows nothing else.
Oh, they do. They don’t care, peons have to pay for their own fuel, not the elite. We pay for theirs.
2nd Thessalonians 2:11, "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:"
Yep!
Yet another reason I don’t expect the world to turn around. Some early version of the strong delusion as the reprobate agendas advance. IMHO
2 Thessalonians 2:7-12
King James Version
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
