Having shut down America’s oil-producing abilities, Biden believes that he can strongarm his enemies to send us more of such taboo energy that we won’t produce ourselves.
The Left used to accuse imperialist, resource-hungry Yanquis in Washington of cutting selfish deals with illiberal dictatorships in Latin America to grab their natural resources.
How odd then that Joe Biden is now begging the despicable Maduro regime in Venezuela—corrupt, murderous, and anti-American—to produce more of its oil solely to send northward to America.
Biden is quite willing to ease sanctions and condone the human rights abuses of Maduro—if his dictatorship will just open its oil spigots before the November midterm elections.
Biden in 2020 campaigned on the supposed evil nature of the Saudi Arabian monarchy. Yet after vainly entreating Venezuela, Iran, and Russia, it was inevitable that Biden would once again supplicate the Saudis to pump more oil.
Biden even pleaded with OPEC to increase its output and thus lower the world price of energy—again before the midterm elections.
Biden, remember, has a bad habit of bragging that he lowered gas prices at the pump when the natural volatility of the petroleum markets leads to a fractional decrease. But once prices spike, he is utterly silent about his own role in limiting U.S. oil and gas output.
So, was it any surprise that the Saudis became the fourth non-democratic regime to refuse Biden’s entreaties? During the 2020 campaign, when gas prices were dirt cheap, and when then candidate Biden was demagoguing about ending fossil fuel, he opportunistically libeled the Saudis a “pariah” state.
Biden also claimed that his opponent Donald Trump had cozied up to these supposedly awful Saudi royals. That accusation was especially ironic given that Trump was the first American president who had no need for Saudi oil.

Birds of a feather. They are both the same. One is pork face and the other is pig face.
Bkmk
“Biden also claimed that his opponent Donald Trump had cozied up to these supposedly awful Saudi royals. That accusation was especially ironic given that Trump was the first American president who had no need for Saudi oil.”
True. Trump dealt from a position of loving his own country. Not from a position of double dealing, fraud and backstabbing of his own people like Joe Biden regime does for a sick retarded and selfish ideology..
He’s not playing.
Central casting.
What kind of moron promises to destroy the oil production industry then begs for favors from Saudi Arabia?
A moron who is corrupt, demented and wants to destroy America.
Great article. I’m sending it to a democrat.
A moron who has a former President, an Iranian loyalist, and a lying commie ordering him around.
I always click on an article that I find interesting to give them a hit.
What the hell does f***ing “communism” have to do with this subject? Namely Biden’s incompetence and stupidity.
“How odd then that Joe Biden is now begging the despicable Maduro regime in Venezuela..”
The even more despicable Joe Biden is begging the despicable Maduro regime in Venezuela...
Yanquis is that Latin American word for North Americans. 🙂
