On day one of his being in office, Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline. He made us dependent on enemy nations for gas. Gas prices were going up before Russia invaded Ukraine. Biden is looking for a scape-goat.

The keystone pipeline would have had little to no effect on gas prices. The oil moving through it was not dedicated to gasoline or fuel but various products and other exports meaning that its impact on fuel prices is low, While it would have increased oil flow to facilities, its price change was min

On that very same day, he issued an Executive Order allowing physically stronger transgender men, to compete against women in high school, and college sports. Why does he hate women? He has never even once been recognized, for an intelligent decision. Maybe that's why so many people detest him.

Prices are based on supply and demand. While the global unrest has played a role, Biden has made the supply of domestic oil less with his policies. Gas prices were going up since he said he would not renew any additional drilling on US territory.

The pipeline needs to be reopened. He has a tool very much within his reach to be able to stop the rising prices and provide relief at the pump to Americans. He is simply choosing not to use that tool to try to help America’s economy. Despicable!

His energy mismanagement, has not only raised gas prices, but also all energy prices. It has additionally given money and power to Putin, which has enabled the invasion of Ukraine. His actions are also causing inflation, which is leading to a recession, and possibly another depression. FJB/LGB now..

Obviously, the one million plus dollars, that Hunter scammed Ukraine out of, was not not enough for Joe to act like a real man.

Biden refuses to backtrack on Green Energy agenda to the demise of the working people of this country. He knows he's not going to be reelected, so he will do the will of the ones who will pay him the most and cover for his son's activities.

the question of the day should be: why are we buying foreign oil when we have enough domestic oil?

If you have a resource that makes your country energy independent, you fill strategic reserves, as you’re utilizing the America First to supply Americans first, then you sell your excess & make money for your home country so prices/taxes stay lower. When you buy an election, you get what you pd for!

Because the attempts by the media to lay blame elsewhere are disingenuous at best. Blatant lies at worst. Quit trying to instill your own narrative into your stories and people will start believing what you say again.

Profits are soaring for the oil companies, so I believe they are taking advantage of a pandemic on the one hand and starting/promoting antagonistic propaganda of other theories on the other.

However, the higher fuel costs are, the more money Biden steals from us, in the form of taxes.

The oil companies make their profits by efficiently converting crude oil to other materials. Such as gas, diesel, chemicals used for plastics. The price of crude doesn't affect their profits. The land owner or country selling the crude oil gets the profit of high crude oil prices. Nice try though.

Employers will just reduce other types of leave if additional sick leave is mandated. The Missouri Legislature is once again correcting a corrupt amendment that appealed to low-information voters.

Even when the already rigged elections don't go the way they want, they always have a back door to circumvent the will of the people.

I believe all bills should be single action bills, with no add on items to get them passed.

I’ll never forget when my newborn was in the ER for coughing up blood. I asked my manager for help and she said “Well, I guess your husband will have to take care of her.” But he had to work too, and had a competitive job where half positions got fired recently and feared not completing his project.

Good for state morale. Less good for state revenue. Less good for residents who wish to attend games as ticket prices soar. But it keeps MO in national eye which is good for state economy.

Subsidizing private multi-billion dollar sports teams is not in the scope of a state government. Or any government. If progressives want to make the claim of letting billionaires, like the Hunt family, "to pay their fair share" well here's the time to make that claim.
