(John Ransom, Headline USA) If it wasn’t a sad enough spectacle seeing President Joe Biden kowtow to communist China over the COVID virus, now Biden has overdrawn the humiliation card by pleading with the dictator in Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, a Russian ally, to please sell the US some of the oil, for which Biden won’t let American producers drill for domestic use.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., ridiculed the Biden administration for another humiliating defeat to a dictator regime, the only type with which Biden and the Democrats seem to like dealing, reported Fox News.
“#Biden secret talks with #MaduroRegime isn’t about replacing #Russia’s oil,” said Rubio via Twitter. “#Venezuela’s oil industry is an incompetent mess that produces 10% of what Russia exports. Ukraine is just an excuse for pro-leftist former Obama staffers who already wanted to get close to Maduro & Cuba.”
Geoff Ramsey, Venezuela director at the Washington Office on Latin America, told the Washington Post that Rubio is on to something, that Biden is looking for a quid pro quo, not for more oil.
“It’s very unlikely that senior Biden officials would go to Caracas and meet with Maduro and be able to sell a major policy shift like this if they were to come home empty-handed,” Ramsey said, according to the Washington Post.
Last week Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, introduced a measure in the Senate to reinstate US energy independence, which has been decimated under Biden, even accounting for a downturn in oil demand because of COVID.
“President Biden has imposed more restrictions on U.S. oil companies than he has on Russian oil,” Cruz said, according to Fox News…

Venezuela’s oil infrastructure is in shambles like the rest of the country. I doubt they could even load their crude on transport ships.
Russian state owned company Roszarubezhneft, which translated into English means “Russian foreign oil”, handles up to 80% of Venezuelan oil production. That is what Putin was referring to the other day when he was snickering about Biden banning Russian domestic oil production in favor of buying Russian foreign oil production interests. Basically, Biden is wanting to use Russian foreign oil to break sanctions he imposed on Russian domestic oil. lol Time for Biden to go back to the oil begging drawing board. Maybe he would like to try Canada or lifting bans on US producers this time around.
It's oil WE can access and process MUCH more carefully and cheaply ourselves than buying it from countries who HATE us, who will gouge us and who will never meet our so-called EPA guidelines!!!
All he does is nothing but PR stunts.
Once again, resident bidump has shown what a imbecile he really is.
PR stunts are the default for all Liberals in government
The entire Biden program is orchestrated by his Staff; ex Obozo Staff. Biden does not have a clue what is going on. None of this inflation is necessary it is the result of stupidity of Biden’s staff.
Biden and the GOPe that installed this horror are hell bent on destroying America. They want to punish MAGA supporters. You know it and I know it.
What in the world are these that voted for Biden thinking now??
Hatred for Trump’s America First. Hatred for the Father’s America. We are divided beyond divine repair.
The Way of the Tardicrat : American oil producers … we’re gonna shut you down and beg foreigners to ramp up their production!
Someone needs to see what sort of a kick-back the Biden Crime Family gets from the suppliers of foreign oil.
This is a clear and existential act of sabotage against the United States. Biden’s criminal cabal instigated the war in Ukraine. He destroyed US oil independence. He now seeks to drive us into the arms of our most vicious enemies. How long will we submit to this tyrant?
I hope they tell the retard to go **** himself. I’m tired of America no longer being Number 1. The commie ‘RATs have taken us into third world, fleabag country territory in the ratings.
The Democrats have a very simple political playbook. They are the party of punishment. If you do not go along with what they want you will be punished until you submit.
If they want America destroyed you must be on board, otherwise they will drain your gas tank, have Antifa assault you as you try to eat dinner, make you eat fake meat and tax away the money you saved up to leave to your children.
Biden has got to go! We have to get rid of that dud.
The only reason Biden would do this is because he is a traitor to The United States of America,
Bump
Venezuela has the highest proven oil reserves of any country in the world, but their oil industry has fallen into a shambles. They aren’t efficient, and their equipment is old and falling apart.
Then Madoro turns around and uses the oil money to buy Russian weapons...
