Creola Soul said...: Today President Biden took Exxon to task for their earnings and high gasoline prices. He said “They made more money than God”. He said they “should be investing more in production.” Now think about this, his administration has a goal to end our use of fossil fuels by 2035. What CEO in his right mind would dare go to his board and ask for the billions of dollars necessary for such an investment? This administration has pledged to put the industry out of business, yet they dare to ask them to produce more. The rising gasoline prices are one of the biggest self-inflicted wounds in our history. This was totally predictable….cancel Keystone XL, close federal land for drilling, deny and slow walk all permits and unnecessarily tighten regulations.
Fuel prices, and all products delivered by or dependent on fuel consumption, will continue to rise…..with no end in sight. Nobody cares about 1/6. The only “6” they care about is the $6 gasoline. To paraphrase Senator Schumer, this administration will reap the whirlwind they have created with their energy policy.; 6/10/22, 7:56 PM

And that completely and totally explains the lefty lunatic purpose of the sham-wow Jan 6 Soviet show trials and talking points of the Althouse lefties, such as gadfly and readering.

But only completely. And totally.; 6/10/22, 8:56 PM

There will be a day in the near future when the Dow blows off five or ten thousand points....There is a huge transfer of wealth going on.

On every issue that matters to average people the Republicans hold the best answer. The Democrats have ceded rational governance to Republicans, so their only hope of maintaining power is to demonize their opponents, make the electorate afraid of them, tell lies and gaslight. They win, not because they have a better plan for the future, but because they make others believe that the Republicans are literally Hitler. That is their only story, and so they have to keep pounding that story.

That is the repeating cycle: Demonize the R's, so they (the D's) get elected. Proceed to destroy everything through bad policy so the voters elect R's again. Lather, rinse, repeat. (Though some states and cities are very slow learners and think the answer is to vote in different D's that somehow will do it better. Definition of Insanity); 6/10/22, 11:45 PM

Several weeks ago, I posted that LinkedIn had become a dating site. I'm here to tell you it's also a scam site.

Be careful. I was lucky to make 35% profit on my toe in the water deposit and retrieve it before I got taken, all the while convincing my new young lady friend that I was about to invest my 401K in crypto with her because the results were amazing. Look up 'crypto pig butchering' for further information.

Also look up 'Heller I have enough' and 'Occums razor.'; 6/10/22, 11:57 PM

gadfly said...: Drago, you make up more lies than your crooked hero. If there are food shortages, we have last year's drought out west and this spring's pouring rains along with your Russian buddy's war in Ukraine to blame.

Ronald Reagan ended Soviet show trials in 1988; unfortunately, Trump incited third-world insurrection in America on 1/6/21.

True conservatives do not ignore reality and print lies as you do every night. I am sure that readering agrees.; 6/11/22, 2:00 AM
gadfly said...: "I ask you to think of the scene in our Capitol Rotunda on the night of January 6. There is a sacred space in our Constitutional Republic. The place where our Presidents lie in state. Watched over by the statues of Washington and Jefferson, Lincoln and Grant, Eisenhower, Ford, and Reagan. Against every wall that night encircling the room, there were SWAT teams. Men and women in tactical gear, with long guns, deployed inside our Capitol building. There in the Rotunda these brave men and women rested beneath paintings depicting the earliest scenes of our Republic, including one painted in 1824, depicting George Washington resigning his commission, voluntarily relinquishing power, and handing control of the Continental Army back to Congress. With this noble act, Washington set the indispensable example of the peaceful transfer of power, which President Reagan called, nothing less than a miracle. The sacred obligation to defend the peaceful transfer of power has been honored by every American President, except one. As Americans, we all have a duty to ensure that what happened on January 6 never happens again. To set aside partisan battles. To stand together, to perpetuate and preserve our great Republic."~ Liz Cheney, June 10, 2022; 6/11/22, 2:12 AM
wendybar said...: Ratings are out for the night of the hearings and they bombed. Not surprising. Nobody cares that the left allowed riots in 2020 throughout the US, but cried foul when the other side did it in DC. They were fine with the riots during Trumps inaugueration, and the riots that forced Trump to get into the bunker...but don't scare Nancy...there will be hell to pay and people will be imprisoned for over a year with no trial.; 6/11/22, 4:40 AM

WHY is this being allowed when there is a law against protesting in front of a justices house?? WHERE is Merrick Garland?? Are they still looking for white supremacists?? When a justice is killed, can we impeach Garland for ignoring this threat?? This is getting ridiculous, because we all know if it were Trump supporters protesting at left wing Judges houses, they would be arrested and thrown in the DC gulag. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10906233/Pro-abortion-group-Ruth-Sent-advocates-targeted-protests-against-Justice-Amy-Coney-Barrett.html; 6/11/22, 5:37 AM
Jaq said...: I haven't been watching, so I have a couple of questions.

Did the hearings somehow prove that Trump never offered those National Guard troops, so Pelosi never turned them down?

Did the hearings prove that Trump's last tweet before he was banned *didn't* ask demonstrators to go home?

Was the involvement of Biden's pet Ukrainian Nazis explored?

These are just the kinds of issues an investigation that was not a sham would cover.; 6/11/22, 5:39 AM
Humperdink said...: Commie-Pinko lefties have identified the church Amy Coney Barrett attends and the school of her children. (via Legal Insurrection).

Some might call this an attempt to overthrow the third branch of government.

Nicholas Roske was unavailable for comment. <<< DC and New York libs never heard of this guy.; 6/11/22, 5:48 AM
Jaq said...: "He said they “should be investing more in production.”

Yeah no, he warned them off. He also whines about gas prices getting separated from oil prices, when his administration took refinery capacity permanently off line during the pandemic, to convert it to biofuels, which I don't see anywhere at any actual pumps. Fewer refineries, less gasoline and diesel, and so higher prices.

It's a shell game. Not to mention that, while US oil production has gone up since the depths of the pandemic, it's far below where it was pre-pandemic under Trump.

Here is a story on how "bottlenecks" have appeared "mysteriously" at refineries causing price hikes:
https://news.yahoo.com/us-gas-prices-soared-5-080000090.html

Nowhere does it mention Biden Administration decisions to convert refineries to biofuels because Yahoo is covering for Joe Biden,

Just a couple:

HollyFrontier shut all units as of the end of August 2020 at its 48,000 barrels per day refinery in Cheyenne, Wyoming. It stopped petroleum refining operations but plans to resume operations in 2022 as a renewable diesel processing plant, which receives subsidies from the U.S. government.

Marathon announced plans in August to indefinitely shutter two facilities: the 161,000 barrel per day refinery in Martinez, California, and the 27,000 barrel per day refinery in Gallup, New Mexico. Marathon attributed the closures to reduced petroleum demand in 2020. In October, the company announced that it is evaluating plans to convert the Martinez refinery to a renewable diesel facility.

MadTownGuy said...: Michigan GOP candidate for governor and D.C. chiropractor charged for roles in Capitol riot

"Ryan Kelley, one of five Republican candidates for Michigan governor, was charged with four misdemeanor counts Thursday for his role in the 2021 postelection riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Kelley was arrested at his home in Allendale, Michigan Thursday morning, and an arrest warrant and search warrant were executed at his home by FBI, a law enforcement official confirmed. He's awaiting a court hearing in Grand Rapids, FBI spokeswoman Mara Schneider said.

There was no immediate comment from Kelley's campaign.

Kelley's participation in the Jan. 6 insurrection has been widely known, and prosecutors said in their statement of facts filed with the court, "[T]he FBI received multiple tips regarding Ryan Kelley's presence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021."

Its understandable you are upset at the utter failure of Sham-peachment 4-Political Electric Boogaloo.

Not to worry. There are still millions of NPC democratical BlueAnon-ers (like Schiffty-Schiff fanboy/girl/other gadfly) with whom you can commiserate.

I'd offer you thoughts and prayers but I know thats quite triggering for Maoist foot soldiers.; 6/11/22, 8:47 AM

It’s never Biden’s hollow head that’s to blame, is it?

There is an issue w/the cargo containers. Still. They’ve moved them out of eyesite but they still can’t be unloaded quickly enough, which means cargo going out is backed up- it’s a hell of a mess. Plus the countries keeping their commodities to themselves due to threat of famine- plus the war.

Show me the proof of lady year’s drought causing this year’s shortage, please.; 6/11/22, 8:48 AM

Readering is on the lie-filled far left so naturally he/she/xe is on your side.

You are so dense you really thought that was an effective comeback!

Wa St Blogger said...: The sacred obligation to defend the peaceful transfer of power has been honored by every American President, except one.

Right. Except she fingered the wrong president. The attempted coup came 4 years before when a sitting president and an presidential candidate used the full force of he CIA and FBI to drive from power the duly elected president. 4 years later they finally ousted him by manufacturing voted for a potted plant. What these traitors call a coup is the demand by the actual people of the country, you know, the ones that the government is of, by, and for to audit the results to see if it was legitimate. As of yet these audits have not occurred. You ant to restore the sanctity of our elections, prove they are legit. What you want instead are suppression of facts, fake election results, and sending opponents into solitary confinement. Sounds a lot like communist dictator tactics to me.; 6/11/22, 9:46 AM

He sure likes taking the Lord's name in vain a lot, doesn't he? He uses God as a political tool at every opportunity. And he probably thinks his blasphemy makes him devoutly religious.; 6/11/22, 9:49 AM
Jaq said...: It’s kind of funny that Joe Biden’s tweet warning financial firms to not take advantage of the high prices “in any way,” seems to have been deleted, maybe it came from the White House Twitter account.; 6/11/22, 11:04 AM
Rusty said...: Blogger Creola Soul said...@ 7:56
Yeah. That seems to be the facebook meme du jour. What they fail to realize is that not all oil companies are making record profits and that those profits have yet to be offset by this years losses and servicing their debt.
Plus the fact that the left puts their fingers in their ears when you bring up pipelines and drilling leases.
I understand that drilling rigs are going for wholesale prices.; 6/11/22, 1:16 PM
