The stones on Joe Biden and today’s democrats.
I tell yah...
Do you know that this destructive clown just approved the sale of at least one million barrels of our national gasoline reserves to try to get gas prices down in the northeast-ahead of the election?
Biden’s team took major heat for selling off a huge amount of our strategic oil reserves in 2022-in a cheap stunt to lower gas prices right before the election-
And now they’re doing it again!
This time- with the nation’s strategic gasoline reserves-which are also-like the oil reserves-meant to be only used in a time of national emergency. A war. A natural disaster out east that would require emergency gasoline to be available.
Etc. This jackass is selling off our strategic reserves and further degrading our overall national security and national emergency planning with this move.
But-
Whatever. Anything to win if you’re a democrat.
And this time? Biden’s regime isn’t even lying about why they are doing it
Folks-high gas prices are not a national emergency. Nor are they high ‘by happenstance’.
We are seeing high gas prices due to the Biden regimes immediate and relentless attacks on the fossil fuel industry ever since they took office.
These high gasses prices-are Biden’s doing.
Trump’s ‘all of the above’ energy policy had gas down at 2.38 a gallon when he left office-and Biden’s got it at 3.99 a gallon now.
Moreover- trump’s energy strategy had him buying millions of barrels of oil very cheaply and refilling our oil reserves up to ¾ full. He wanted to fill them up completely, but Chuck Schumer and the democrats blocked the second round of purchase orders- saying it was trump trying to give a gift to ‘big oil’.
Trump- a lifetime businessman-was simply being smart and taking advantage of shockingly low oil prices that were a feature of his era-
And yet again-the democrats stopped him from doing the smart thing for national security.
Still-he had the oil reserves ¾ full. They are now down to less than half. Less than half. Because dangerous boob Joe Biden and his team thought it would be smart to sell a bunch of it off in an election year stunt that-
Ironically- didn’t even lead to lower gas prices in 2022.
You’d think they would have learned their lesson.
Nope. Here the go again.
What an idiotic move. And it genuinely is simply a cheap and scummy attempt to paper over their myriad failures in the Biden White House.
Folks-Biden’s own bureau of labor statistics says energy costs are up 38 percent since Biden took office. That includes a 30 percent jump in electricity prices and a 30 to 50 percent jump in gas prices-depending on where they are floating-on any given day.
Also- Biden’s own govt admits that the Biden regime has sold off almost fully half-of the oil reserves he inherited.
The u-s oil reserve says when Biden took office-we taxpayers had 638-million barrels of crude oil stored for national emergencies. Now we have fewer than 361-millon barrels.
What. Dangerous d-bags. We have run this country.
Sincerely. Not of this is even smart, politically, folks. Biden sold off half. Of the oil reserves we had. And all it did was lower gas prices by two cents per gallon-at most? -at the time?
That’s not even smart. You aren’t making enough of a difference for voters to even notice a price difference-much less give you credit.
So why do it-and harm- our national emergency readiness?
A million barrels of gasoline might sound like a lot-but it too- is going to evaporate into the much larger pool of gasoline that we consumers use on any given day- and make no difference in the price per gallon-at all.
Folks-last year- Americans used about 9 million barrels of gasoline each day. Not gallons. Barrels.
We used 392-million gallons of gas each day- which is about nine-million barrels.
If the country is using nine million barrels each day-what sort of ‘splash’ or price difference does Biden’s release of one million barrels-over months- make? In price? Or in any other way?
Man, this is stupid.
And yes- they’re only going to sell off 100-thousand barrels at a time, according to this plan.
This is like giving America a brick each day...to rebuild the twin towers.
What possible difference is that going to make?
None.
And so, all they get is the fake talking point. Right?
Is the Biden team so desperate to trick and lie to voters that they’d really put national emergency planning at more risk so they can ‘pretend’ they’ve done something to help consumers?
The answer to that question is- yes. Obviously.
Because that’s what they are doing.
When you’ve been losing in the polls for six months and been lying about everything else- you need a series of new lies- i guess-and this is one of them.
If you believe any of the Biden administration’s rhetoric at this point- you’re a genuine dope.
Everything that comes out of this white house is a lie. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen before-in 35 years of doing this.
