  1. Yes, he did, but I want to clear something up here. Everything on my list may not be entirely exactly tied to a biden EO canceling a Trump EO, but then again, it might. Some definitely did. Biden’s EO canceling the pipeline and ‘pausing’ production on federal lands did. Go to the chart you linked and check the 5, 10, or 25 year chart from the bar above and you’ll see what I mean. After trying to get oil from Saudi Arabia, Russia, and venezuela, and selling half our Strategic Petroleum Reserve he succumbed to public pressure and has opened up some areas, but is only recently approaching pre-pandemic levels. His early actions and words destroyed the ability to plan operations. Oil companies don’t operate by getting a permit and drilling a well or two, they do exploration and plan fields of production. Financing, critical to the endeavor, can make or break on a percent of perceived profit that take years to come. Biden killed that and then the congress passed legislation that included increasing the royalties the gov’t retains. Domestic oil producers are to be commended for their efforts to maintain production as they have dealt with this. Cutting production as biden did, caused a shortage worldwide which drove fuel prices up, which, in turn, caused prices to go up, which caused workers to demand pay raises, which is inflation. 81 million votes, my ass.

  3. It was more like the end of 230 if they didn’t comply. The president said “they’re killing people” and people were scared. You may get your reversal, but this judge understands the situation and his ruling is justified.
  4. Follow my list. Start with biden’s clampdown on oil production, causing worldwide inflation and making money flow to Russia/putin. Finish with his reversal of Trump’s Remain in Mexico order. Look up BRICS.
  5. This from the ruling memorandum: At a White House press conference, Psaki publicly reminded Facebook and other social media platforms of the threat of “legal consequences” if they do not censor misinformation more aggressively. Pg 22 does not sound like ask. Noting your avatar, what is your duty when your commanding officer “asks” you to do something?
  6. I really wish you and a lot of other voters were more informed but that would require being more interested.
  7. It’s okay, I didn’t take pictures of my food either (porterhouse), but my wife took this and it was a great day.
  8. My money is on Hunter, but it was his wife that hid it from him.
  9. They’re trying to soften the bud light folks with stories about layoffs of bottle makers, not realizing that they’re smart enough to know that the other beer companies will need more bottles.
  10. Doing so, biden sank our economy, is on the verge of losing reserve currency status, diminished our position internationally and defensively, sold most of our Strategic Petroleum Reserves to china, opened our southern border to over two million illegal immigrants per year including chinese spies and terrorists from around the world, while guiding the law enforcement and surveillance apparatus to attack his political adversaries. Not bad for a foreign agent.
  11. And I consider this spin. For a moment in time, however brief, polosi spoke truth, and then later returned to the same ol’ dimocrat line of women, children, and color people most hurt. Biden made a similar reference to the unconstitutionality in 2019, but that was before he decided to use the debtors in his electoral game. Robeerts used her statement because it was factual, because even a dimocrat like polosi and biden knew it was unconstitutional. Compare the list of unanimous decisions in Trump’s favor to biden and obama’s defeats in the court and spin that.
  12. Conservative Chief Justice John Roberts cited comments by ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "People think that [the President] has the power for debt forgiveness," she said in 2021. "He does not." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/the-supreme-courts-conservative-chief-justice-cited-nancy-pelosi-in-his-opinion-striking-down-bidens-student-loan-forgiveness-program/ar-AA1dgAYP The Orwellian spinners will try to make every biden failure look like a strategic accomplishment of competence. They may soon wish they’d done more to protect the justices from being attacked at their homes.
  13. And who they take showers with.
  14. Personally, I consider most cosmetic procedures, artificial tans, facelifts, botox, etc. to be wastes, but I don’t consider them character flaws, and in the face of managing an economy, defense, and foreign policy, insignificant. To prefer Biden’s policies over Trump’s requires a severe case of TDS or possibly ones sympathies to lie with the chinese ccp, the source of much of biden’s wealth.
  15. I think they should have the debates before the voting starts.
  16. I buy porterhouses, she gets the filet, I get the strip.
  17. I disagree, it’s not banks that offer worthless degrees. Actually, I thought the gov’t had taken control over education loans under Obama. I think it would make more sense to let the schools and banks do the financing. Maybe the schools would be more inclined to graduate students with marketable skills over what they currently produce. I don’t consider current interest rates to be terribly high, they’re not, historically. Seniors used to plan on their savings yielding 5% in a CD. My parents paid about 6% on their home, I had one at 13%, and knew of 18% mortgages. An economy that has low productivity and inflation outrunning wages is the problem.
