Did the United States suddenly become a socialist basket case? It’s hard not to come to that conclusion after reading about the endless shortages plaguing the nation. Each of which President Joe Biden either seems clueless to resolve or determined to make worse.
Let’s start with the biggest one: the shortage of diesel fuel. While Biden was busy draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to tamp down gas prices before the midterm elections, the real worry was that supplies of diesel fuel have been running short.
Two years after the short-lived COVID lockdowns ended, diesel inventories continued to trend downward

Of course, it’s deliberate. You would have to be John Fetterman or Barbra Streisand to do this accidentally.

To usher in utopia, America must first be destroyed........this, among other things, will do it. Diversity, Inclusion, Equity. They will chisel that on our tombstone.

My son tested positive for the flu yesterday. The nearest pharmacy with Tamiflu is in another city, 35 miles away.

It's deliberate by the ones in charge. Biden is so out of it, they can tell him what they want him to know and leave out the rest. Dr. Jill knows. I blame her for much of what is going on.

Yeah the demise of America at all levels is by design. Biden's administration is top to bottom anti-America un-American terrorist.

For those that believe it's their right to rule the world, America must first be destroyed. That's been the plan , the surprise election of Trump ion 2016 was a huge bump in the road for them. 2020 fraud got them back on track.

Is water wet? Of course it's on purpose, the only question is how many links in the chain were purposeful and how many were just exploiting events as they unfolded. Personally I think it goes all the way to a government swampworks COVID development program in conjunction with their CCP partners in Wuhan, then on to a deliberate release designed to derail an all but inevitable second Trump term, connecting to the deliberate deployment of the Cloward Piven model of overwhelming the system to cause a collapse creating a vacuum which will be filled by the one world global socialist new world order.

You have to ask that the shortages are on purpose? What the hell do you think is going on? Who do you need to provide expertise? The 50 some intelligence experts who vouched for Lame Duck Joe instead of the evidence on Hunter's laptop? Insights and Issues says they are old timed journalists. Bull Shite. Ever since Lame Duck Joe became 46, he has been fubaring America. It's not rocket science. I&I are nothing but NY Slimes wannabes.

The biggest shortage we have in this country is a severe lack of intelligence.......with DC as the focal point. Old corrupt, perverted brain dead Joe is leading the country to ruin....and no one in the DC political class is doing anything to stop this.

There is no question - of course it is intentional. Every decision made thus far by this regime has been to hasten the further decline of America. We didn't get here by accident, that's for sure.
The people that brought this decline and suffering to the American people should suffer in the flames of Hades, which ironically are fueled by fossil fuels. The perfect torment for these Wokesters!

Just wait until the food shortages really hit. There are going to be a LOT of crops not planted next spring because of the diesel situation.

I think that the "Joe Problem" will be solved by a false-flag operation that will provide the crisis for the final total-gun-control push that is coming.

Since none of what's happening occurred prior to Jan. 20th, 2021, how can anyone ask such a stupid question. It's Obozo's third term. Biteme is just the fall guy. Of course, it's on purpose.

It all on purpose. As an example, as far as the Biden and Democrat “open borders” schemes are concerned, they have in implemented in violation of the immigration laws with the purposeful object to flood the USA with as many millions of poor and uneducated illegal aliens from the third world, under the fraudulent guise that every person from the third world, who meets the ethnic and racial categories set out in Democrat identity politics, no doubt a billion or more people in time, who Biden and the Democrats say must be allowed to enter the USA to apply for asylum, that common sense will tell you will permanently change the ethnic and racial population of the USA and transform the USA permanently to a majority-minority country. The Democrat plan is to legalize and grant US citizenship and US voting rights to all in accordance with a rolling series of Democrat designed “Path to citizenship” amnesties on into the future, under the guise of needed comprehensive immigration reform, believing that they can easily buy the votes of a huge percentage of the future votes of those “New Americans” to keep the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats permanent political power controlling both the Congress and the White House. Remember the House of Representatives Districts are decided by the numbers of people who are counted in the US Census, and it does not matter if those people are in the USA illegally of legally or if they are US Citizens or not. So as the Democrats pack Democrat favored and run sanctuary areas and cities, more and more congressional districts and seats will be redistricted to those cities and areas due to vastly increased populations consisting mostly of illegal aliens, where leftist Democrat candidates will have a lock on winning those redistricted congressional seats thus permanently allowing the Democrats to permanently control the Congress. Also once legalized the many millions of former illegal aliens will be qualified to bring their foreign families into the USA doubling, or tripling, the poor and uneducated population of the USA, in a future country permanently politically controlled by the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats thus sending the wimpy Republicans into political oblivion. Why else would the power hungry Democrats create and perpetuate their “open borders” schemes, certainly not if they ever evaluated and believed that more than a small percentage of today’s illegal aliens would become a big part of tomorrow’s conservative Republican voter base?

Democrats have been chipping away at the middle class for the last 50+ years. I'm waiting for the day they announce they want to wipe out our $31+ trillion national debt by raiding IRAs and 401k's. You know? Put it something safe like SS that the government will maintain for you.

Keep the people looking toward the Dear Leader for relief and solutions all the while the tyrants arrogate more and more un-Constitutional power to themselves. This is the way Dictatorships run, and there's nothing these MISCREANTS in DC want more than to be RULERS of the people, instead of SERVANTS of the people. They are totally divorced from reality within their "Granite World" on the Hill. They don't know the American People at all.

Regarding the information in reply #23. A big reason that the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats are able to get away with their population change plans relating to the borderline so far, is because the wimpy Republicans are scared to death to point out the true reasons for the Democrats “open borders” schemes, as they know that the Democrats would immediately curl up into a defensive mode and blast the wimpy Republicans as being racists!

The fuel shortages are clearly intentional. Biden ran on a promise to destroy the oil and gas industry and it is the only campaign promise he has kept. They didn't want fuel prices spiking right before the midterm elections, but now that the elections are over it is full speed ahead for the next two years. One problem with skyrocketing diesel prices is that it creates shortages and price increases in everything that is transported using diesel fuel, which is basically everything.

Whether on purpose or not democrats can and will screw everything up. They placed the perfect fraud president, the Delaware Crash Test Dummy, in the White House the low IQ idiot was perfect for the job. Here we are today a nation in shambles while we continue down this road. I'm only one vote and hoping for a change is just useless to think about.

Biden started it all on his first day or minutes. Blocking Keystone, then all the rejected permits and all the regulations imposed on everything else, everything Biden does is to limit production and raise costs of everything. If not on purpose he would at least sometimes make the right move.

Of course! ...In less than 2 years in office, BUT decades of infiltration preparing, the dem/socialist AND RINO pols have positioned the Biden lead team to, 'go for the gold,' which is the U.S.A.! The results of the Biden Administration are devastating.

Um, the time to ask came a year ago, and the answer was clear even then. The enemedia have colluded with Dims to mislead the public about the intentions, causes, dynamics, and likely outcomes. And Pubs have responded more for politics than for effect.
