Sixty percent of Russia’s exports are energy related. The President of the United States is authorizing the export of Russian oil, gas, wood, and even uranium. He is afraid, thanks to his failures, that higher gas prices will cause even more inflation and cause his polling numbers to fall even further.
And 25% of the world's wheat is grown in two countries: Russia and Ukraine. The Russians can weaponize food as easily as they can weaponize oil and gas., The path to global disaster has many entrances.
We are never, ever going to know the full story behind what Biden is doing or why...and you can call me a "conspiracy theorist" if you want, but...Hunter Biden and the Ukraine, Joe Biden and the Ukraine, Russia and the Ukraine, the Clintons and the "Russian collusion", the impeachment of Trump over the phone call with Zelenskyy...something is going on behind the scenes that we, the American people, are never going to hear about. Probably only a very few people "know" what is going on...and they aren't ever going to let that information leak out. But there has to be something...how does a little nation like the Ukraine get in the center of all these "scandals"?
Agreed Erick. And today they’ll crow about a job numbers beat in the midst of this disaster. Wow…people going back to work to jobs lost during the pandemic is NOT job creation in my book. What a mess this old man has caused.
Last night, I found myself in the unfortunate situation of needed to fill up in the West End section of downtown Atlanta. My first concern was safety...but I always have my 9mm SIG compact pistol in my belt (very much in view) when I am at any gas station. My major concern was that gas was $4.59 per gallon. Now, I know quite well that gas is always much more expensive in the inner city. However, I was willing to pay that price vs the possibility on running out of fuel on Lowery Blvd. Before Covid and widespread teleworking I was commuting 150 miles RT to work daily. I needed 1 and a half tanks of gas a week (20 gallon tank). I paid $40-$45 each fill-up which equaled $240 per month. With the types of prices we are seeing today...it is costing me on average $80 a tank (If I had to fill up in West End each time it would be over $90 per tank. Using the $80 amount If I had to commute as much as I did pre-Covid it would be costing me almost $500 per month!!! Luckily, I am able to telework now. Many people (especially blue collar) cannot. The average American family cannot afford these prices and also put food on the table and roofs over heads. The Brandon green energy policy is hurting our country. They do not care. I am livid!!!
Why is so much western land still controlled by the government? Give it to the states who really own it and let them support local programs by leasing out the mining and oil rights.
I called or e-mailed my Senators and Congressman in agreement with what you state above. It is a great shame that the Democrats are so dense on this issue; it's a byproduct of their rejection of God.
As with a lot of things in life, follow the money. The Dems support of abortion has very little to do with women's rights or reproductive health care. In fact, it's mostly about selling baby parts. Does BLM really stand for justice for Blacks? Let's ask their founders who went on a luxury home buying binge with all the money raised. Hillary Clinton accusing Trump of Russian collusion, all while concocting the entire Russian collusion scandal and raking in millions from Russia through the Clinton Foundation. And Iran and the billions of dollars dumped on the tarmac in Tehran during the Obama presidency. Where did a former community organizer-turned Harvard professor-turned president get all the money to afford not one, not two, but three luxury homes, two of which are located in coastal areas. Apparently, Obama isn't so concerned with the coming disastrous effects of global warming after all.
Turning to the current situation with Russia and Iran, I find it very hard to believe that the Biden administration's stance on continuing to buy oil from Russia is one driven by idealogical adherence to the climate alarmists, especially when we all know that at the highest levels of power the cries of global warming are nothing but a ruse being used for profit and control. So why would Biden resurrect Obama's disastrous Iran nuclear deal. It didn't work the first time and will put the Iranians on a path to nuclear ICBMs pointed at the Israelis who they wish to destroy. In fact, it's even more confounding in the face of the success of the Abraham Accords, which by God are a modern miracle. Thankfully, we have the results coming out of the Durham investigation, as well as the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop, to show us just how corrupt, just how power hungry, and just how treasonous the Dems are. How long do we sit by and watch this blatant corruption and idiocy continue? How many Ukrainians have to die to feed the Dems' greed and corruption?

Here are several truths that the Left always misses:
1. The source of crude oil does not affect the consumption of oil outside of the cost to move it.
2. It is more environmentally damaging to ship crude to the US than pump it here.
3. Pulling 60,000,000 barrels of oil from our reserves is about three days consumption.
4. On average each US resident uses 20 barrels of crude per year.
5. Adding 2,000,000 illegal residents increases annual consumption by 40,000,000 barrels.
6. Each watt of renewables must have an equal amount of "bad" backup to avoid brownouts.
7. The most "green" of all energy sources is nuclear.
8. Electric vehicles can only increase the total amount of air pollution unless 100% nuclear.
9. Overall hydrogen fuel increases pollution and is very dangerous to transport and store.
10. You can't violate the Laws of Thermodynamics nor can you repeal them.
So Russian oli is like 3% of our consumption. And Biden can't figure out where else he could get that oil, except maybe from Iran?
It's like we are living in a Babylon Bee article.
Wasn't it Hillary as SecState under the Obiden Admin that sold rights to a huge amount of OUR uranium to the Russians?
On target. Keep up the good work!
But, but...unless we go green the world will end in 10 years!

Erick, the electric cars need their energy from a source.
totally agree. If we only had a leader who thought more about humanity than his own popularity, oil import from Russia would have stopped already.
JUST RESTART DRILLING! BUY AMERICAN OIL!
Agreed Erick. And today they’ll crow about a job numbers beat in the midst of this disaster. Wow…people going back to work to jobs lost during the pandemic is NOT job creation in my book. What a mess this old man has caused.

we gave away the world's supply of lithium to China when we left Afghanistan
