Biden. Democrats seem impervious to shame

Pants on Fire: Biden yells 'There is no more drilling!' just months after claiming he never shut down energy production  . . ."Well, actually, it was true: "There is no more drilling," as Biden said now. It seems the Biden barrel of lies is so full, the truth can't help but slip out sometimes. For voters, such words from Biden are useless. Biden has blamed Vladimir Putin, OPEC's barons, Big Oil, global warming, Republicans, and all other things he could think of for high prices at the pump. The one thing he won't do is consider what Americans can see with their own eyes, that before President Trump left office, gas prices were about $2 a gallon. Now they are $5 and $6 a gallon in California, and well above $3 a gallon in the rest of America. That's "lived experience." 

"The clearest reason for that is Biden's policies to halt drilling. Back in January 2021, Biden signed off on an executive order dictating a ban of oil and gas drilling on federal lands. Fox News has a string of other bans and hamperings he's done to stop energy production and drive pump prices sky high.". . .

Biden on Oil: ‘No More Drilling. There is No More Drilling.’   "President Joe Biden confirmed his disdain for oil drilling right before the midterms:

BIDEN: “No more drilling. There is no more drilling. I haven’t affirmed any new drilling. No… That was before I was president. We’re trying to work on that, get that done. Thank you.”

"The national average gas price went up to $3.804 for regular gas (this chart is updated daily):

Current Avg. $3.804
Yesterday Avg. $3.800
Week Ago Avg. $3.762
Month Ago Avg. $3.891
Year Ago Avg. $3.421

"The prices go up and down. AAA.com wrote on October 31 about “gas prices drifting down.”

"On November 3? “National Average Increases as Pump Prices Remain Volatile.” California’s prices decreased, which surprised me:. . ."

It seems that the voters have finally had enough. In fact, Americans just can't take it anymore. The red wave did not materialize out of nowhere – it's been building for months. And if the terminally out-of-touch Democrats hadn't been no deaf, dumb and blind to the pleas of their own constituents, maybe they could have headed off the disaster.

"People Are Fed Up": Soaring Electricity Bills Become New Pain Point For Biden


How Joe Manchin Enabled President Biden’s Assault On The Coal Industry  "It was just a few months ago when West Virginia Joe Manchin was being widely hailed as perhaps the most powerful politician in Washington, DC. This was true especially where issues related to energy policy were concerned, given his position as Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
"But Manchin’s decision to become the deciding vote in favor of the mis-named Inflation Reduction Act in early August brought an end to any such talk among the chattering class. That bill gave President Joe Biden and congressional Green New Dealers pretty much everything they had desired, and the only thing Sen. Manchin received in return was a nebulous “deal” with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to pursue the passage of language designed to streamline federal energy permitting processes.". . .
