Biden just sold the National Helium Reserve…
Citizen Watch Report ^

Deflating security: Biden sells federal helium reserve, threatens us industries… National security on the line as critical element supply diminishes.

In a surprising turn of events, the U.S. government has auctioned off the Federal Helium Reserve, a subterranean treasure in Amarillo, Texas, responsible for supplying up to 30% of the nation’s helium needs. This critical element is indispensable in medical technologies, cryogenics, semiconductors, and even rocket propulsion systems.

Limited helium availability has been a security concern for many years.

And the only possible reason to sell the national helium inventory is to weaken national security.

Which seems to be the only reason our Co-Mandarin Chief does anything.

Has this guy done ONE positive thing for this country ever? And incredibly, if you go to MSN.com where the lefist zombies congregate and read their comments, they think Biden is the Messiah and Trump is Hitler.

Every day on that site it’s one article after another bashing Trump, 9 billion articles on Jan. 6th, not ONE criticizing Biden, zero articles on the border, “Judges reject Presidential immunity defense in Trump insurrection case” is one headline. How about an article on the Jan.20th 2017 insurrection where the democrats tried to prevent Trumps inauguration? Never spoken about.

According to Wiki*

By 1995, a billion cubic metres of the gas had been collected, and the reserve was US$1.4 billion in debt, prompting Congress to begin phasing out the reserve in 1996.[5][6] The resulting Helium Privatization Act of 1996 (Public Law 104–273) directed the Department of the Interior to start selling off the reserve by 2005.[7]

* assuming you can trust it ...

“I was me who suggested that Belgrade be bombed. It was me, who suggested sending American pilots and blowing up all the bridges on the Danube.”

Guess what the Serbs did after the bridges were bombed?

They stopped foreign ships from transiting the Danube in Serbia.

German company. Hum. Maybe lame brain was watching a video about the Hindenburg and iit had to use hydrogen gas because they had no helium. I can see his addled mind making that connection with Texas in the background.

Can we toss him in with the sale? The bum has got to go.

About the time he leaves office, he will be declared demented and not responsible for his actions. Just leave him be, they will say, to ride off into the sunset with his millions, leaving the shambles of the country in his wake.
