The Biden administration canceled one of the most high-profile oil and gas lease sales pending before the Department of the Interior Wednesday, as Americans face record-high prices at the pump, according to AAA.

The DOI halted the potential to drill for oil in over 1 million acres in Alaska's Cook Inlet, along with two lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico. The move comes as Biden has taken a few actions to combat high gas prices, despite his administration's generally hostile approach to the oil industry.

What we are witnessing is the left global warming worshippers instituting their ‘force Americans to change their energy use’ strategy. Of course the same leftists have yet to devise a workable alternative to shutting down gas and diesel engine use but they will force people to stop using same while they cook up some fantasy for an alternative. The left is evil to its core.

Biden’s not in charge of anything. If you want to know who’s running things, ask yourself this: “Who is the only President in the history of this Republic who did NOT leave DC at the end of his term?”

TYPICAL LEFTIST: But...but...the oil and gas prices are skyrocketing and destroying us because of Putin and COVID! It...it...it isn't Biden's or the Democrat's fault! Simpleton MAGA people want to blame us for everything!

NORMAL AMERICAN: But, how is canceling sales of oil and gas leases in the middle of the worst energy cost inflation in decades the fault of Putin and COVID?

TYPICAL LEFTIST: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! REEEEEE REEEEEE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

It's going to be difficult to blame the consequences of this decision on either Trump &/or Putin, but SloJoe will inevitably find a way.

Or more accurately, one of his handlers will.

The Republicans must stop this idiot from doing things like this. He is distroying this country with this crap. Soon we will not have the fuel to counter an attack on this country, and we cannot do much with little electric cars.

The Republicans could have, and did not, stop the fraud that put Biden in the Whitehouse in the first place. Don’t put any faith whatsoever in the GOP establishment.

Biden just signs what ever is thrown in front of him. He’s not the person in charge.

This is going to be high prices turned into total economic collapse in no time.

I hope we’re all prepared, as no leaders on any side want to do anything about it.

High priced gas, empty store shelves, halted deliveries, restaurants, businesses closing, supplies in shortage — this will go down like dominoes. And meanwhile they’re bussing in illegals by the hoardes.

I think we Americans are being played, and we just continue to stick our heads in the collective sand — making vacation plans, heading out to the game, planning our lives as if nothing is happening.
