I bring this up every time somebody says Biden is making gas prices high.
Of course, when I ask how he’s doing it their arguments are always dogshit, like “He ruins everything he touches because he hates America.”
I’ll reply, “No, how specifically did Biden increase the price of gas? Is it because under Biden we’re producing more oil than any country in history and more than we ever did under Trump? Is that how Biden increased the price of gas?”
If I get any reply it’s something like “Well he’s probably selling it to other countries so he can lower the price of gas before the election”
I mean, some of it goes to Obama signing off on oil exports, as the article mentions. Two thirds of our oil comes from fracking though. And Trump did roll back some restrictions* on fracking, so quite frankly some of it IS because of Trump. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing is a different question, but it’s not clear what credit belongs with Biden.
Alabama house special election, so state not national, but interesting:
In 2022, David Cole (R) beat Marilyn Lands (D) by 7 points. He later had to vacate his seat as part of a plea deal for voter fraud, leading to a special election. Lands ran again in the special election, and won by 25 points. Voter turn out was slightly under half in the special election vs. 2022 election. The focus of her campaign included the opposition to Alabama’s abortion ban and the recent IVF decision in Alabama.
Married Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has engaged in a years-long affair with longtime Donald Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski, multiple sources told The Post Friday.
Though no images of the two getting frisky are known to exist, the pair have been less than discreet about their relationship, with one source recalling them making out at a hotel bar during the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Fla.
If so, that would tick one more box on Trump’s list of qualifications for his VP running mate. She would be one heart beat away from the Presidency so hopefully she has some stronger qualifications.
