Soaring gasoline prices (they’re up 49 percent since President Biden took office) are due to “Putin’s price hikes,” claims Biden. But last I checked, Putin wasn’t stateside canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline, pursuing efforts to end federal oil and gas leasing programs, and careening our country toward more Covid-like lockdowns, social isolation, supply chain shortages, and another summer crime wave.
A brief recap of Biden’s oil and gastastrophe: in January 2021, during his first days in office, the president revoked the Keystone Pipeline permit and issued an executive order that, in his own typically eloquent words, directed the “Secretary of the Interior to stop issuing new oil and gas leases on public lands and offsh- — and offshore waters, wherever possible. We’re going to review and reset the oil and gas leasing program.”
Canceling the Keystone Pipeline — again — meant squashing an estimated 11,000 American jobs, $1.6 billion in pay, and 700,000 barrels of oil a day, per RealClearPolicy. The company trying to build the pipeline is suing the government for $15 billion in damages.
During his campaign, Biden promised to put an end to oil and gas drilling leases on public lands. It’s not as simple as a shaky swipe of Joe’s pen, however. This February, a district court judge ruled in favor of Louisiana, several other states, and energy-related industries alleging the Biden administration’s use of “the social cost of carbon” to cancel leases is “a power grab designed to manipulate America’s entire federal regulatory apparatus.” The Supreme Court, however, last month gave the Biden administration the green light to continue its moratoriums.
The Obama/Biden years of “hope and change” have devolved into what CNBC describes as “delays and uncertainty.”

If Putin cut off our pipeline, we’d rightfully consider it an act of war.
Simple facts hit the hardest. Well daid.
Getting people to stay put, at home. Similar to the Covid. All about control.
49 percent is nowhere near accurate. Like Biden's poll numbers, it's very low.

We are paying twice as much now to fill our little Honda.
It was $44 to fill the Explorer, now it’s $105.
we’ve had to resort to near-origami levels of “folding” up the Doberman to get him into the small PT Loser back seat to get him to his cancer treatments.
Filling that car up is “only” $72.
I’ll bet PedoJoe isn’t making the choice between gas to save his dog or eating.
I’ve lost 22 pounds.
I should change my user name to Skinnymander.
:(
National suicide policies from complete morons supported by Blackrock executives in bed with China.
I’m sorry. How is Dog’s treatment going?
I was going to say the same thing. Guess the author was taught using the Common Core math curriculum and ran out of fingers to count on.
Well a Jab of Gas aint gonna do my car any damn good (just like the covid jab).
going from 2.00 a gallon to 5.09 is a lot more than 49% where i come from.
Words make the argument and the opening paragraph needs to have impact.
Ridicule and destroy Democrats in every way, every day. Don't hold back. Show no mercy.
So far, so good.
His leg is still intact with no fractures, his lungs are clear of mets and his final chemo treatment is 2 weeks from now.
His oncology vet said “the chemo is working” so I’m praying that means he’ll live a good long while.
After that, he will still go for his zolendrate infusions to strengthen the bone and get lung x rays every 3 months or so.
He’s still happy, bouncy and with me and for that, I am wildly grateful.
Amen.
I suck at math but even I can see that.
I’m so glad! I know you’ve been going through heartache and tough times.
This is the worst thing I have ever dealt with, no exaggeration.
Part of me keeps hoping for a miracle for him and I beg God constantly to make that so.
