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.

Amen, to that Eric. I know exactly how you feel, and what you are saying. A liberal's interpretation of Proverbs 22:9. Your satire is exquisite.

Never had a big budget for holidays or birthdays. We have too much stuff already so we concentrate on time together and a few useful thoughtful gifts, often hand-made.

Obviously, an article regarding Christmas, will not get many views in a blue city like Columbia.

On Christmas, my kids often just ask me for meaningful advice. They are in their fifties, and they have learned enough to know, that they can always learn more. We still give each other the benefits of our skills that we have acquired over the years. These gifts are priceless, and they last forever.

Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, believed to be the Son of God. The celebration focuses on the Incarnation, or God becoming human. You don't need money to celebrate that.

Nothing is ever going back to what it once was. You will continue to fall. You only have your contentment now.
