So a bunch of politicians and their sycophants who know nothing about how gasoline is produced are going to “retool” the oil industry. These looters can barely pull off wiping their own ******. The overweening arrogance of these morons.

“..we are also pressing on the accelerator, if you will, to move toward clean energy, so that we don’t have to be under the thumb of petro-dictators like Putin, or at the whim of the volatility of fossil fuels.“

This is either a complete lie or utter insanity. (I believe it’s a lie..)

If one wants to move from one form of energy to another, you DEVELOP the second one - workable and thoroughly- first.
THEN the old one will naturally fall away.

These idiots spew the mantra - that “we must do away with fossil fuels!!” In order to bring on a new “clean” energy system..

Sorry, life doesn’t work that way.

These evil twisted elites want a two-tiered society: THEM, with every luxury at their disposal and us, who will own nothing and be happy to slave for them.

THAT is the goal here. They couldn’t give a monkeys bottom about saving the planet or “climate change”… they know it’s phony.

If we were a smart nation, we’d use our fossil fuels (I’ve heard we have between 100-400 years worth under our feet. And we’ve only been using it for about 100 years already). Go ahead… develop your “clean” system - one that WORKS.. we have at least another 100 years to do that.

This rush is not to wipe out fossil fuels; it’s to wipe US out.

As with everything else that appears cockeyed in this nation, this is not incompetence. This not illogical. This is unrefined Evil! Biden needn’t be logical nor competent to be a minion of the Devil. What’s being done to this country and this world is not “insane” but fundamentally evil; and it requires no logic to see it, plainly, for what it is. And, at this point, there is no “energy policy” that will deter Evil!

At a time of war,” Biden wrote, “high refinery profit margins being passed directly onto American families are not acceptable… companies must take immediate actions to increase the supply of gasoline, diesel, and other refined product.”

Huh?! The U.S. is most decidedly NOT at war.

Congress has not DECLARED WAR!

We aren't even involved in some piddling little dispute or limited "police action" in Syria or Afghanistan or what-have-you.

So what is this "at war" sh't?

If he meant that SOMEWHERE in the world a war is taking place right now - that has ALWAYS been true.

So what's his point?

Regards,

we are not shutting down steakhouses they just have to be vegan It's more insidious / more insane than that.

"We are not shutting down your steak house. In fact, we are mandating that you serve MORE steak! But we are simultaneously making it illegal to slaughter cattle!"

You didn’t need to post the speech. You could have just posted the pic of Jimmy Crater in his faggoty little cardigan telling us all to turn down the thermostat to understand his message - managed decline.

Americans said “eff that” and voted for Reagan in a landslide.

Biden let slip that we are at war.

That was supposed to be a secret.

They have a problem that can’t be solved. Literally trillions of dollars wasted over the past 20+ years on stupid windmills and solar panel fields that only produce about 3% of the country’s electricity needs.

And, that 3% is highly unreliable. Wind has to blow, it often doesn’t. Sun has to shine, often it doesn’t. Demonrats are way beyond being complete imbeciles. They really are the personification of satanic evil on earth.

Yes, and THAT is the whole problem with government. Government is NOT supposed to be about having 'leaders'. We don't need leaders from the government. The government should be thought of as people we hire to perform specific functions. Hired help, beholden to us and getting paid at our discretion.

In general those in government are the least qualified to do any specific job, and thus should be guided by people who actually do those jobs. It is imperative that they realize and understand their limitations, and approach their jobs with humility and a sense of serving others.

We will never have the government envisioned in the Constitution until we take the hubris and arrogance away from elected office - entirely. When politicians start talking trash about the electorate (e.g. a 'basket of deplorables' the MAGA crowd, etc.) we have a huge problem and a huge disconnect between what those hired help are supposed to be and their entirely false self-image.

That the POTUS went on some comedian's 'talk show' is a joke in and of itself. We have enough jokes in government.

Start buying candles.. These people are becoming more and more obvious. If the stinking media would tell the truth and report this to the masses it would help. These reporters and there families have to live in the same world they are helping destroy.

First, they say, he should invoke the National Defense Act for Oil and Gas. This will enable the acceleration of required permits for oil and gas projects, they say.
Environmentalist groups filed 3500 lawsuits against the Biden Adm to stop oil permit approval. Will te NDA void those lawsuits?
