Just a day after not exactly apologizing to West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin for promising a San Diego audience to replace coal fired power plants with wind farms, President Joe Biden turned to promising a New York audience to shut down drilling for oil instead.
Stumping for embattled New York Gov. Kathy Hochul at Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers Sunday, the President responded to a shouted question from an audience member about his longstanding promises to shut down fracking and new drilling on federal lands and waters by saying “no more drilling...there is no more drilling...I haven’t formed any new drilling.”
When the questioner persisted by pointing out there has been new drilling in federal lands and waters in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico during his presidency, Biden said, “That was before I was president. We’re trying to work on that to get that done.”
While any U.S. president can be excused for not knowing every detail of what is happening in his or her administration, neither response was in fact accurate. The Biden administration has not just approved more drilling for oil and gas on federal lands and waters, it has boasted about how many new permits it has issued for such operations whenever the moment was convenient for its purposes, including a recent claim it has issued 9,000 new drilling permits during its 22 months in office.
But the President’s responses to these questions, while not accurate, do betray his mindset on the matter, which he has expressed repeatedly from the beginning of his presidential campaign in mid-2019. Simply put, the regulatory and legislative agenda of the Biden administration has pushed to restrict and, where possible, eliminate drilling for oil and natural gas in the United States.

No more drilling?
Say that in Midland Texas and you won’t make it out alive.
Biden-Fetterman 2024
They have principles.
And if you don’t like them, they have other principles.
The dementia is getting worse.
Biden is so far gone, that I expect him to start smelling all the women near him while on live TV soon.
Demented joe just reads what is on the teleprompter, he has no idea what is happening around him.
Brandon has had his noggin drilled one to many times.
Hair plugs cause dementia.......who knew??!!
How would one know? Biden’s always been stupid.
omg...so funny
He so clearly has dementia or Alzheimers that he probably should be removed under the 25th Amendment. From a political perspective, I’d rather have this brain-dead dope in for another two years. But he is gone mentally.
Twenty five days of diesel available, and counting. I believe that if we run out it will be deliberate. It will shut down the country and people will starve. Another side effect, perhaps not so obvious to some, will be democrats dropping like flies for perpetrating this fiasco. Hungry people are desperate people.
Does anyone else who watched the video think that Biden sounds like Foster Brooks now?
The saddest commentary on our country is this A hole is number 46 in a group of presidents beginning with Washington. It is like winning the super bowl and then winning no games the following season.
Bump
Foster Brooks was more coherent....................
9,000 new drilling permits but no leases net result zero.
