In retaliation against the Supreme Court’s recent decision to stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from forcibly shutting down America’s fossil fuel industry – at least to the degree and pace at which this is currently happening – the Biden regime is now threatening to close the country’s largest oil field.
According to reports, the EPA is readying itself to cite the Texas-based oil field, known as the Permian Basin, for supposedly violating “ozone pollution standards.” That citation could be the move that drives a final nail in the coffin of America’s last remaining traces of energy independence, which is exactly what the Biden regime wants to do.
“According to the Texas Governor’s Office, the proposed regulations will directly affect the Permian Basin, the largest oil field in the United States, accounting for 95,000,000 gallons of gasoline per day or 40% of the oil produced domestically,” one report explains about the situation.
“This would be just one more move from Biden’s administration to impact the lives of every American by reducing the fuel supply and causing gas prices to soar well beyond Biden’s record of $5 per gallon.”
Former EPA Chief of Staff Mandy Gunasekara told reporters this week that even though Americans are paying the highest gas prices ever in our nation’s history, to the demise of many of them and their families, “team Biden continues to double down on their political commitments to ‘end all fossil fuels.'”
Biden promised a cold, dark winter – and it is coming soon Much of America seems to be asleep at the wheel in terms of recognizing that our lives and livelihoods are now being used as political fodder by the “green”-loving left to get back at the Supreme Court for taking aim at the climate change agenda.
If the Permian Basin gets shut down by Biden and his cronies, you can be sure that energy prices now will look like a bargain later on, especially come wintertime when everyone starts running their heaters.
“It’s going to be a cold, deadly winter in the United States,” wrote a commenter at 100percentfedup.com.
If you think inflation is bad now, added another, just wait because you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
“They want this for us and I am not exaggerating: subsistence living!” this person added. “Biden also campaigned on raising taxes! Who is stopping him?”
The answer, of course, is nobody. Nobody is stopping the Biden regime because America has become too divided (and emotional) and too distracted to get much of anything done except a continued descent into absolute totalitarianism.
Someone else interjected that he likes Russian President Vladimir Putin far more than he could ever like Biden, even though the latter is supposedly our president.
“Both parties are garbage,” this person further stated. “Biden is a total lunatic. I’d like to ask him face to face how it feels to be the worst president this country has ever had.”
Others pointed out that Democrats buy gasoline just like Republicans do, and that it is shocking to see the left mostly ignore the destruction of all of us at the hands of the Biden regime.
“Did people not believe Biden when he promised to end oil?” asked someone else rhetorically. “Did you really think he wouldn’t try to take your AR-15? Welcome to the end, America.”
“How much longer is this going to go on?” asked another about Biden’s wicked reign over the country. “This demented, cadaverous, feeble-minded old man is a threat to our country.”

“...it is shocking to see the left mostly ignore the destruction of all of us at the hands of the Biden regime.”
Leftist-think is the firm conviction that Putin has more control over the American economy that does Biden. With his little finger, Putin can determine who the President of the United States will be, control the price of energy, provoke hideous inflation on the American economy, and if we did not have Biden and the democrats in charge, things would really, really be bad.
The answer, of course, is nobody. Nobody is stopping the Biden regime because America has become too divided (and emotional) and too distracted to get much of anything done except a continued descent into absolute totalitarianism.
Which is why there will be no Red wave in the Fall, and no need for elections in 2024.
Amen
Joe Biden is smarter than the average bear. Gas prices are already high and he’s on a roll. Why stop. The average bear cannot connect prices at the pump with drilling. Some will run with blaming Russia just like the anti-muslim video being the cause at Benghazi.
If this was anyone else but Biden, I would believe our oil, gas and means of production were on the cusp of being nationalized like any developing hellhole, or Venezuela which was first world at the time of its death.
The crime-ridden hellholes of the blue states will be begging for aid after deep sixing much of their police forces. These favelas could be policed by a federalized force placed by a dictator, perhaps by the demented sock puppet in the WH.
Is he really a demented sock puppet, or just an ignorant, arrogant, nasty man who has Peter Principled to the summit of power?
While shipping oil from the SPR abroad, including to China. Some might call it treason.
This is a preposterous bluff.
If the gambit turns real, the enforcers will be slain enmasse.
The Permian basin is mostly in Texas.
“Treason doth never prosper: what’s the reason? Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason.” -John Harrington, 1560 - 1612..................
Putin is a post-marxist nationalist. He'll do whatever he thinks is best for Russia and its stability.
Biden is a brain-dead puppet of neo-marxists. They'll do whatever they think is best for their ideology and the cause of instability.
The oligarchy behind Biden is doubling and redoubling down on the hammer blows to bring down the United States. But in the end, their dream of finally, FINALLY, defeating the Spirit of America will turn to dust, and be blown away, sprinkled everywhere, and unable to even sprout anew. The belief in the efficacy of command-and-control regimes is one of the great conceits of the power-hungry, as they make promises they cannot possibly ever keep, not that they intended to anyway.
The disease continues to spread beneath the surface. The media will not report on this accurately, if at all; and the decomposition of American life will continue silently at the hands of a toxic bureaucracy. No one in the GOP has the integrity to call it out; they will just continue to sit there and count their chips.
He is both/and.
No one is going to be slain. Texans will just pony up for more wind turbines.
If we had a media that cared about America, Biden would be out of office in a month.
While Biden wags his finger at gas station owners in the legacy media.
“... the largest oil field in the United States, accounting for 95,000,000 gallons of gasoline per day or 40% of the oil produced domestically,...”

Forget the Chinese of Russians. Biden is doing an excellent job of destroying the country and destroying the wealth and security of the American people.
