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.

The Democrats, since Clinton have talked about doing what DOGE is not doing. Yes, Clinton and Obama did some EO, but always gave more lip service than action. Now we have action from Republicans' and still Democrat lip service.

Horrible what they are doing to people. I don't understand how firing people would take care of fraud and abuse. They are stripping people of their livelihoods and it will come back at us because the government will have to cover their unemployment stipends and we will have many more homeless ppl.

About 14.5% of the US workforce, or 20.2 million people, work in the public sector. This includes state, local, and federal government employees. That's way to many people working at a job that produces nothing.

Maybe you should turn of the news and research. Why pay 5 people to do the job of 1. Why keep lazy employees who don't produce when you can keep highly productive workers and increase there pay. See its called rewarding hard work and punishing lazy people. Hard work does pay off.

Elon is not an elected official, not even a cleared contractor for what he is doing. This sabotages democracy.

Elon is only exposing criminals. He is doing nothing else. Become informed, instead of brainwashed.

While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic.

Unilateral decisions from the Executive branch cannot go unchecked (on BOTH “sides”). Just like when Biden shouldn’t have bypassed the SC with student loan forgiveness. Democracy is fragile and we cannot lean towards dictatorship.
