The devastating fallout of the Biden administration's job-killing rampage continues after he canceled the sale of 80 million acres of Gulf of Mexico oil leases that was scheduled for Wednesday in New Orleans, KLFY-TV in Lafayette, Louisiana, reported Monday.

“It would kill our state. It would kill workers,” Mike Moncla, president of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association, said of the Biden administration's move. “It would kill jobs, and it would be a terrible thing.”

According to the Moncla and the association, nearly 250,000 Louisiana residents work in the oil and gas industry, and 98,000 of them have offshore jobs.

Biden isn’t a dangerously incompetent buffoon, it’s just a speech impediment.

“Biden isn’t a dangerously incompetent buffoon, it’s just a speech impediment.”

Biden isn’t making any decisions. The real story, which obviously our silent GOP representatives know, is who behind the scenes really is calling the shots in DC. Whoever it is, the opposition party is definitely afraid and has gone into hiding.

Interesting neither Democrats nor Republicans were afraid to condemn President Trump publicly even though they labeled him a despicable tyrant.

Sell everything, fly to Mexico and come back over the border. Then everything is handed to you. Life will be good.

Biden is destroying the country from within at the behest of his Chinese overlords.

Well, don’t know about anyone else but my husband just filled up our car and paid 2.79 per gallon, which is getting close to a dollar more since Trump.

Chinese leadership must be laughing every time they see a strong Western country voluntarily self-restrict it’s own supply of a vital commodity, all because they’ve been successfully brainwashed by the global-warming myth

Just laughing

The average household spends (spent) $2000/year on gasoline.

If the price of gasoline doubles from $2/gallon to $4/gallon ... there go the stimulus checks (or even more) for many.

Biden (or his puppeteers) are creating a shortage and higher prices. And gas/oil isn't the only place that they are doing this.

Costs more to transport goods so the price will be added in sooner or later.

Anyone who isn’t actively preparing for very soon coming really bad times needs to go home and rethink their life. People are going to die of unpreparedness THIS YEAR.

That’s what I’ve actually done. I’m like a “thinking” german in early 30’s germany watching my country go the Nazi path. There’s not a darned thing I can do about it other than prepare so that the impact on me is minimal. But it will impact us all in one way or another. Bigly.
