have imperiled national security
What, me worry?

Joe Biden’s reckless energy policies, including a relentless war on US oil, have now seriously undercut national security.
To wit, the US Energy Information Agency just pegged the nation’s supply of emergency oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve at just 351 million barrels — about half its capacity.
...
That’s the lowest the SPR has been in 40 years, providing enough to last only 17 days in a national emergency.
What a time to run low!
The Middle East may erupt any day, threatening oil exports from the region; Russian oil remains banned as its war in Ukraine rages on.
Yet Biden’s done everything in his power to halt domestic oil production, to please the Green extreme.
His team actually just bragged that they’re planning for just three potential oil and gas lease sales on federal territory — the “fewest” in “history” — over the next five years.
Their program “phases down oil and gas leasing in the Gulf of Mexico,” a Biden press release boasts, including “zero oil and gas lease sales in the Atlantic, Pacific and Alaskan waters.” Great.
That followed the cancellation of seven leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and a push to severely limit leasing in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.
US oil production has already fallen by as much as 3 million barrels a day, or nearly 20%, from its Trump-era trajectory
...
Meanwhile, Biden’s reckless economic plans — spending trillions — have rocketed up prices, including for oil and gas at the pump.

17 days worth of oil in our SPR (strategic petroleum reserves) all because Biden needed to bring down oil prices for his reelection hopes while sacrificing national security.
I really liked Trump’s recent quote on drilling. He’d put our enemies in the Mid East out of business. Russia too. Today we’re the world’s biggest producer-I’ve read it recently. Could we pump that much?
It would sure do the trick once we got past the greens.
Purposely done. Who know who the b$%^$s will turn us over to.
Dems non stop charging Trump for crimes……Why can’t Biden be tried for Dereliction of duty, border invasion and treason????
Could we pump that much?
13,200,000 barrels per day.
Part of the left’s plan.
*Could we pump that much?
13,200,000 barrels per day.*
No no. I’m talking the 70-80 million a day the world pumps out. Charge less and inform our customers not to buy from Iran. China needs everything. That means dealing wit some bad regimes we don’t need around. Cutting off their exports without war would get them to chip out.
Renewable energy sources are expected to provide between 45 and 50 percent of global generation by 2030, and between 65 and 85 percent by 2050. ROFL
It’s all part of the plan. Biden’s handlers intend to destroy America. Understand that, and you understand everything else that’s going on.
You can’t restructure a country until you destroy it the democrat party has a plan in action.
Do not trust the EIA numbers……
When I woke up the day after the ‘20 steal my first thought was that we will never survive this abomination.
We need to breed unicorns much faster.
I felt the same way.

Joe Briben doesn’t know what day it is. But still expects to get his 10 percent.
Duh!
What, me worry?
