This is his [Mohammed bin Salman] election interference. It forces Biden to make a choice: Will he protect America’s democracy and Democratic lawmakers in Congress, or will he triple down on a flawed gamble that says that the U.S. has no choice but to acquiesce to Saudi Arabia to prevent Riyadh from aligning with Russia?
Hey, Mr. Parsi with the Ph.D, there’s actually a third choice… And I know it might be a little nuts, and sound too much like something a “MAGA Republican” would say, but you could just procure the oil from domestic sources, and then you wouldn’t be reliant on foreign oil at all. ‘America First’ energy independence is actually a win all around: unemployment rates would fall because it would restore oil industry jobs; America wouldn’t (directly) finance foreign despots, because there would be no need to purchase fuel from the oil barons; and it would immediately lower gas prices, which given public sentiment, is crucial if the Democrats want to hold Congress. If these dopes had any political acumen, why not take the wind from the Saudi sails of "election interference" and break open the dam on domestic oil production?
Okay...Let’s say we win big in November...Come Jan 1st....will the Saudis talk to the Republican Leadership...and avoid any conversation with Biden. That’s what I’d like to see.
That is a terrific opening paragraph.
Not entirely surprising given the media and academia is/are one of many causes behind why energy prices are so high - the advocating and then pushing of the/a ‘green’ agenda.
There are some rumblings that Trump will either be indicted or even arrested before the election. They are hoping for a violent protest resulting in lockdowns and mail in ballots. Sounds incredible, but not impossible. Monkey Werx on YouTube outlines some evidence.
If you ever end up at a party with the “media and academic elites” (which I occasionally do), their response is that gas prices should be high to force people into alternative energy. And if that hurts the middle class or rural people who need to drive trucks, too bad. Its a necessary casualty to get to “Green Energy Sustainability”. They won’t say that in public unless it slips out. But that is definitely what they think.
Even when the lose the House and the Senate in a couple of weeks, Biden’s controllers will double down and keep any new refineries from being built, stop shale oil production, stop leasing for oil on federal property, keep stopping ANY pipeline from being built. And they will then blame it on Republicans in Congress. Guaranteed.
The only way to stop this is to oust the Democrats from the Presidency and then go through each government agency person-by-person and fire any damned one of them that even hints “green” or “climate change.”
Rats will never acknowledge the obvious because they want to end domestic oil production. Of course the answer is to stop the war against our Oil Companies but they are seduced by a rat President with both houses. They think this is their big opportunity to get this done. It is at least a decade to early but they cannot help themselves
Domestic oil and gas production would also raise a lot of money in foreign trade given the global shortage of oil and gas, and it would of course enhance national security.
But it would be anathema to Gaia worshipers. So of course, it is unthinkable for Democrats.
Well when they keep on saying the recession is being caused by an extremely great economy AND not all the spending for worthless stuff by the gov’t...then I don’t think there is much hope for them.
It is not just high gas prices, I guess these clowns to not go to the supermarket and see the high price increases on those products.

The Dems know how to fix the high prices but they aren’t interested in that. They are crushing the middle class on purpose. Lots of Republicans are on board for this as well.
