It's just getting started. Wait till it's $4 a gallon all over the country. Most Uber/Lyft drivers weren't driving rideshare when Obummer was president. All they've known is super cheap gas under Trump. They will be screaming bloody murder when the new normal kicks back in. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Oil topped $70 per barrel yesterday after Yemen’s Houthi rebels attacked Saudi soil for the second time in as many weeks. Russia, Iran and Venezuela are very happy. The rebels are emboldened, since Biden removed them from the list of international terrorists, and simultaneously ended US support for the Saudi war against them. This is a windfall for the Iranians. Xiden’s friends in China, just stepped up their purchases of Iranian oil, while hoarding millions of barrels of Iranian oil, and propping up the Iranian regime, as it develops nuclear capability. Xiden’s job killing EO’s against the pipeline, and drilling on Federal lands, will lead to lower domestic oil production, and higher prices later on. "...during a 2020 primary debate, Biden said "no more drilling on federal lands. No more drilling, including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period — ends.” "The study estimated that a ban on new and existing leases would cost nearly 1 million jobs by 2022, with top production-states hit the hardest. While Texas would lose 120,000 jobs, New Mexico would lose 62,000 and Wyoming would lose 33,000, the study says." Biden won New Mexico. They're getting what they voted for. |

They most certainly are getting what they voted for: additional stimulus checks, extended unemployment benefits, a leader who is tackling the COVID crisis head on and not pretending it doesn’t exist, an administration run by competent people, etc, etc, etc. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Trump would have provided a stimulus plan for the people, and without the pork. There’s still $1 trillion from the last stimulus, that hasn’t been spent. This latest one is a ‘Rescue Plan’, which means more trickle up, bank and Wall Street stimulus is on the way. The dogs get the crumbs. Obama’s out of touch with reality puppet hasn’t contributed anything in the war against Covid. The PPE’s, ventilators, beds, logistics, vaccines were all provided by Trump. Although, the scheming pharmaceutical companies waited until a week after the election to announce the vaccines. He said there was no vaccine when he took office, despite getting both shots before he was inaugurated. He vowed to vaccinate 1 million daily, when that level was reached before he was inaugurated, He vowed to vaccinate 1.5 million a day, while the they were already vaccinating 1.6 million daily. Here he is at the end of a speech last week, where he pleaded with Americans to wear a mask. |

"In his fever to undo every vestige of the Trump presidency, Biden has undermined the extraordinary progress made by the previous administration towards peace in the Middle East, including by “recalibrating” our relationship with Saudi Arabia. The signing of the Abraham Accords between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco marked an undisputed breakthrough in opening relations among bitter enemies and also in ring-fencing a belligerent Iran." "Instead of attempting to build on that achievement, Biden has tried to bury it. Upon taking office President Biden immediately froze arms sales to the UAE, which had been promised as part of the deal. He next halted military aid to the Saudi war in Yemen and rescinded the terrorist organization designation applied to the Houthis by President Trump, emboldening that group to step up their attacks on Saudi Arabia." "Also, it took a full month for Biden to call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, finally speaking to the leader of one of our strongest allies only after reaching out to more than a dozen other heads of state." |

He had his chance last fall. He didn’t do it. It probably cost him the election. Oh well! “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

The overall numbers are suggesting our country probably didn’t even do above average dealing with Covid under Trump. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

I guess in your travels you haven't been paying much attention to the news..... Come on, Ed!!!! prices do not depend on the exact amount of oil/gas/natural gas we have at an exact moment, but rather on policies that will influence those commodities. Have you heard of the pipeline project he shut down? Come on..... |
