rising — as they seem set to do

The US-Saudi relationship soured when President Joe Biden took office, and now Biden’s reelection prospects may suffer, too. Back on Nov. 21, 2018, just two weeks after the midterm elections, then-President Donald Trump celebrated recent declines in the global oil price with a tweet, ending with: “Thank you to Saudi Arabia, but let’s go lower.” About six weeks earlier, the West Texas Intermediate oil price had peaked at $76.40 per barrel. By Nov. 6, when American voters took to the polls, it was at $61.69 — a fall of around 24% in only a month.

Democrats won’t lose as as long as there are mail in ballots and trucks to drive them where democrat votes are needed.

#1, and as long as the local citizens don't get involved and shut the cheating down, instead of relying on compromised local institutions that are tasked with such things.

The only way to affect/lower prices is to drill baby drill. Biden does the opposite so he is 100% to blame. Trucks maybe hard to find at over $6/gal diesel, the price of cheating will be a lot higher this time.

I posted earlier, elsewhere: $5.599/gal in San Diego County yesterday; $5.999 for premium - and that was at Costco. $60 for half a tank in my little Altima. It's real, this time.

About two months before the election, Biden will dump what's left of the strategic reserves into the market.

And Biden keeps running commercials how great the economy is with all the legislation passed on his watch. The disconnect with reality should be evident even to the most lowfo Democrat voter every time they fill up. The Republicans need to run ads how the Biden policies are hurting their families.

#6 may have a point. But I believe they have been quietly "dumping" what is left of the reserve to keep the prices as "low" as they have been recently. If the SPR is truly nearly empty, there is no way for prices to go but UP. If we have a true emergency, we are going to some form of rationing. That's going to be as popular as hell. Forget about the price, how do you explain going from energy independence needing to whip out your "ration book" at the pumps? Americans have done it before, but it was necessary due to that little WWII thing....

The HairSniffer's handlers are doing all they can to weaken and destroy America. One of their many 'fronts' in the war on America is to cut off the fuel supply- Coal, Petroleum, Natural Gas. The price goes up, the price of everything else goes up as a result, and the real result is to destroy the value of the Dollar. Foreign nations who for decades relied on the Dollar as the stable 'reserve' currency for international trade, are seeing the value of their Dollars plummet, and are working to set up a new, Gold-backed stable currency to use for international trade. Remember what Lenin said: "The surest way to attack the Capitalist State is to debauch the currency." And that is EXACTLY what The HairSniffer's handlers are doing.

Premium gasoline at my corner station is $ 6.999, one tenth of a cent short of $ 7. I call it seven dollars. Fortunately Illegal Aliens do not receive free gas. But the do suck out from Americans $2,200 per month ad infinitum as refugees. The average SS paycheck is $1,400. If man and wife enter separately they suck out from our taxes $4,400 per month and need not work.This is not what Burisma pays, but these are plain illiterate Illegal Aliens unrelated to the Bribemes.

An anti-religion group attempting to throw cold water on an Alabama university after the school’s football coach was filmed assisting with the baptism of a student has a "twisted interpretation of the First Amendment," a legal expert says. On Friday, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) sent a letter to Auburn University President Christopher Roberts warning that more than 200 student baptisms, one of which was assisted by Auburn Tigers head football coach Hugh Freeze, somehow violated the Constitution’s Establishment Clause. "These ongoing and repeated constitutional violations at the University create a coercive environment that excludes those students who don’t subscribe to the Christian views being pushed onto players by their coaches,"

President Joe Biden is struggling to connect with Americans across a variety of critical issues as former President Donald Trump enjoys a commanding 10-point lead over his anticipated rival for the White House in 2024, polling released Sunday shows. A Washington Post-ABC News poll reveals Democrat Biden lacking engagement with a skeptical public, with dissatisfaction growing over his handling of the economy and immigration, a rising share saying the U.S. is doing too much to aid Ukraine in its war with Russia and broad concerns about his age as he seeks a second term.

In less than three years, the Biden administration has brought on six out of the 51 former intelligence official signatories of the October 2020 letter arguing that the leak of emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” Earlier this week, Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) selected three signatories of the letter to join a federal “intelligence experts” national security group, according to an announcement on Tuesday.

Steve Ricchetti was also once a lobbyist for GM. Most recently, Politico buried in a report regarding Biden’s ties to GM CEO Mary Barra how the White House has many close ties to the automaker.

A new poll from the Washington Post showed disastrous numbers for incumbent President Joe Biden, who is now 10 points behind former President Donald Trump in in the latest measurement of the US electorate. The 80-year-old president's approval rating stands at about 37 percent, similar to where it was in May, but five percentage points lower than it was in February. Biden's disapproval figure is 56 percent. The poll also asked whether, in retrospect, voters approve or disapprove of the job Trump did while in office.

On Wednesday, Old Joe Biden finally invited Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House, after refusing to do so for nearly nine months while his regime did everything it could to undermine the Israeli prime minister. The invitation came as Netanyahu met with the alleged president at the UN, and the two sat down for their first chat of Biden’s alleged presidency. Any meeting with Biden these days, however, will have its bizarre and inexplicable elements, and this one was no different. As the leader of the world’s lone Jewish state began speaking, Old Joe bizarrely took the opportunity to make the sign of the cross. Calculated disrespect? Galloping dementia?
