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.

Mark Cunningham

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.

Connie Jones

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!

Max

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..

Max

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

Patty Crane

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.

Teresa Hendren

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

Lisa Gore

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!

HelenHighwater

Self explanatory, it would seem.

Will Mason

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.

Max

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

Max

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.

WE have our own wells- Let's get them open!!!

Belinda Kitchen

Because why should we help the Russians in any way. After all the caused this war . Biden needs to open up our pipelines here in the US!!!!

Max

It is the common sense answer, and the humanity based answer. Joe won't do it though. He stands to lose to much personal income.

Mae Paulo

We only bring in 3% of our fuel from Russia. The gas price hike is not because of the lies politicians are pushing.

So far the U.S. and EU have resisted such a ban, worrying it would drive up consumer prices too much.

We need to force oil prices upwards in order to unite behind the president's plan to ensure we all must purchase $60,000.00 electric vehicles, preferably non-American made,

Max

Joe would demand we buy them from his blood brother, and joint businessman Xi Jinping. That way Joe gets his 10%.

Any other countries, in or around Ukraine, that may be next, or may be hurt by Russia's invasion, have every right and responsibility to help Ukraine. It can consist of soldiers and/or sanctions, and other methods as well. Biden is Putin's greatest asset, as long as Biden keeps us oil dependent.

Mary Stone

Because Putin is a greedy SOB that has proven time and time again his word is not worth the breath he takes to say a mere syllable. His invasion of Ukraine is him challenging all who are allies to Ukraine. He doesn't care about his own people. Freeze assets. What a joke. Do something real!

Putin is a bully, the world created him, the world should stop him.

America first. We need to look into election fraud and the bribes from CTCL here in Boone County, Missouri and across the country. People already arrested for Taking bribes in Wisconsin and Louisiana. Fix 2020 election first.

Bill Barr tried to tell Trump and the rest of you, he lost. Fair and square. Get over it.
