...and guess what?
Maybe Eric Trump, one of President Trump's sons, is just a very lucky guy.
Or maybe he was on to something. The younger Trump tweeted this back in October 2020:
If Biden gets in, not only will he destroy the Oil & Gas industry (and millions of American jobs and lives), we can all say goodbye to these unbelievably good gas prices.
Talk about a prediction. Maybe Eric should buy a lottery ticket every Friday.
Just yesterday, I stopped by a neighborhood station charging $3.89 a gallon. The proprietor, a nice man from the Middle East, joked that the prices were changing so fast that he's thinking about turning off the price sign.
Prices are indeed going up or more like rushing up. This is from CNBC:
The national average for a gallon of gas hit $4.009 on Sunday, according to AAA, which is the highest since July 2008, not adjusted for inflation. Prices have been rising at a fast clip. Consumers are paying 40 cents more than a week ago, and 57 cents more than a month ago.
In some places, consumers are paying much more. California’s average is now $5.288 per gallon.
Sorry but that's crazy.
The Biden administration is desperately trying to connect gas prices with the war in Ukraine.
It's sort of like saying "Putin did that" or a reference to all of those funny cartoons and stickers saying "Biden did that."
Ukraine may be a factor. But a bigger reason is the Biden policy to curtail domestic production and irrationally following the 'green energy" crowd's agenda.

Can’t be…everybody voted in the last election, didn’t you see Biden got 81 million votes?/sarc
Everyone repeat and remember, “Free Electric for Electric Vehicles is temporarily Free.”
“Free Electric for Electric Vehicles is temporarily Free.”
We will end up paying $8 for 30 miles ragne of Electric. If your car has a ragne of 450-500 miles either electric or gas, you will still pay about $125-130 dollars to go the distance in either measurement of energy.
You can pay your electric company, the National & State Electric Highway Grid Assocation, or the Gas Station.
Anybody but the USA? Let's convince Texas to secede and they can supply the oil!
I filled the car Thursday for $3.75 a gallon, as I drove by the station today (5 days later) it is $4.25. Obviously Trump’s fault.
Yes. Really dumb article.
Donald Trump predicted 7-8 dollar gas. Getting closer in CA. Nothing under $5 now.
Buy an electric car! Says Dept of Transportation Secretary Buttigieg.
Electric rates across Maine about doubled two months ago.
How 'bout those gas prices! Says Dept of Transportation Secretary Buttigieg.
I’m betting Soros also has huge holdings in the environmental waste disposal industry. He’s quite the prognosticator of future events that he controls with his ownership of leftist proxies.
Congress needs to act now to stop this energy crisis caused by Brandon.
That from a gender dysphoric mayor who couldn't figure out what to do with his a$$hole or a pothole.
What EV company?
Yep. It was certainly Capt. Obvious.
Yet demoncrats - and, ironically, some republicants - project the narrative like useful idiots.
Like the virus before, personal views on current events have become a litmus test for dumb.
I paid $4.25/gal for 87 octane and $4.89/gal for 93 octane yesterday. Two or three weeks ago it was $3.55 and $4.04 respectively. 15 months ago each was about a dollar a gallon less.
Thanks Jo(k)e
Fuel prices double and causes the same for electricity prices! Well duh!
Stupid people voting for the communist/dems.
Time to get an overpriced ecological disaster EV car! /s lol
You write ‘irony’...
...I write ‘distraction’.
There are multiple agendas at play taking advantage of a long planned ‘crisis’ of manufactured origin.
Virtually nothing is “free”, in most cases “free” means someone else is paying.
Behind the times...
As did Mao. Mao was starving and working his people to death while exporting the grain they were harvesting.
The price of gas around here took two big jumps in the past week and a half.😖
