Biden demands OPEC boost oil production amid rising gas prices
NY Post ^ | 08/11/2021 | Emily Crane

The White House is pressuring OPEC and its allies to boost oil production in a bid to tackle rising gasoline prices — despite imposing tighter restrictions on US oil companies last year.

Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan issued a statement on Wednesday urging OPEC — the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries — to move faster to restore global supply of gasoline to pre-pandemic levels.

“Higher gasoline costs, if left unchecked, risk harming the ongoing global recovery. The price of crude oil has been higher than it was at the end of 2019, before the onset of the pandemic,” Sullivan said.

When this imbecile came into office America was energy independent.

Biden is the worst president in U.S. history.

Canada has a lot of gas. Let’s build a pipeline to cheaply ship it to our market.

What makes this harder to take is that Trump actually won the election. All of this has been created by an illegitimate fraud.

Even without the increasingly obvious dementia (did you see him walk right past a Secret Service agent motioning for him to turn right yesterday?), Biden has always been a total moron and pedo. Now he is just a total meat puppet for Odungo, Soros, et al to pull the strings on. He has no idea what he's doing, signing, wiping, etc.

Carter’s and now Biden’s demands....

I’d hate to be those OPEC guys. Winston Churchill is gone but they now face Joe Biden himself, a dynamic, forceful world leader extraordinaire who can bring a Corn Pop thug to heel or a foreign dictator to a quivering state of fear.

Unless he forgets to read his cue card and starts babbling incoherently again and wanders off someplace.

List of soon to be terrified OPEC governments:
Algeria, Angola, Congo, Ecuador, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, IR Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Venezuela.

Note: Send AOC to Venezuela and Ecuador. Send Ilhan Omar to Nigeria, Congo and others in Africa. Maybe send Dr. Jill to Iran. Just a thought. Tell them “And don’t come back home until you have a deal in hand.”

Exactly. We were 100% self sufficient under Trump. Biden is a darn joke and a disgrace. We are paying for his socialism.
