So Biden tells another whopper in Wisconsin. One of his Catholic HS teachers was drafted by the Green Bay Packers. He chose to be a priest instead. No record of this teacher ever having been drafted into the NFL. Of course in Joes defective brain that is what he believes is true. I guess his stuttering problem has effected his memory. At the end of the day it was just a little white lie.

That's it; you've convinced me. The demented, incurious, cheating husband/porn star banger, hush money payoff, proto-fascist rapist without any idea how to run a government gets my vote! Liberals are bad! Biden is a bullshitter! Government is bad! The FBI works for Obama!

Oh my, I thought you were talking about Bill Clinton at first. He does share some of trumps peccadillos. Maybe that would be more of a pecado?

Despite the oil industry’s complaints about Biden’s policies, the United States is now producing more oil than any country ever has, pumping nearly 13 million barrels per day on average last year. ExxonMobil and Chevron, the largest U.S. energy companies, reported their biggest annual profits in a decade last year.

Yet oil giants will see an even greater windfall — helped by new offshore drilling, speedier permits and other relaxed regulations — in a second Trump administration, the former president told the executives over the dinner of chopped steak at Mar-a-Lago.

Good. That should bring down oil prices -- easing inflation, reducing shipping costs, helping the economy & allowing replenishment of our strategic petroleum reserve. Let's start exporting oil, refined petroleum products & more LNG.

They could start right now with a reduction in their exorbitant profits.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/02/busi ... ofits.html

Cue the "but they're not as high as 2022" comments as if that's a consolation, but stop the GOP BS that prices are Biden's fault for limiting production.

Shame on the oil companies for following the laws of supply & demand. Better the profits go to Putin, Maduro, the Ayatollah, the House of Saud & the other Gulf State shieks. Maybe they'd plow some of those profits back into expanding our refining capacity If the Dems weren't trying to eliminate fossil fuels.

What's your excuse for Biden drawing down our Strategic Petroleum Reserve, at a time when war in the Middle East could break out at any moment, with our troops & ships under fire there ?

...because OPEC is a cartel that limits production to elevate prices. The US is not a member of OPEC. If the US produces more oil, OPEC members can afford to limit production only so far.

Biden would then not need to restrict Ukraine from striking Russian oil infrastructure, to avoid raising global oil prices in an election year.
That would be more effective in defeating Russia than trying to collect sanctions on Russian oil sales.

Barron Trump to step into the political arena as a Florida delegate at the Republican convention

Barron Trump, who turned 18 in March, has retained much more of a private life than his older brothers, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., both of whom will also be Florida at-large RNC delegates, along with Trump’s daughter Tiffany.

Also on the list are a couple of Trump in-laws. Nothing weird about that.

Good news though. Trump gets to sit through his son's high school graduation.

oooh, found an addendum. Trump gets Barron's age wrong when asked about his youngest son's convention role

Asked for comment, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung attacked NBC News. "NBC News has lost its mind and clearly suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Instead of focusing on President Trump’s second term agenda and undoing Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous policies, NBC has chosen to engage in tabloid journalism fit for the checkout aisle of a grocery store," Cheung said in a statement.

How long until we hear that Roger Stone has joined the campaign as well?

Rumor has it he removed the Nixon tattoo from his back and replaced it with a Trump tattoo. You know, as insurance for the next pardon he will assuredly need.

There's a squeeze happening for sure among country producers (not US)...and the oil companies are self-interested players charging what the market will bear. Kinda how our private enterprise system works, right? The problem is that there's some arguably collusive behavior between 'competitors' with 'signaling' of price changes that easily rises but slower declines. That's how the incentives work in a concentrated market.

Indeed, the left ain't pleased. But Biden ain't the left.

In defense of what's happening though, there's a significant overall change in % of energy production happening in favor of greener. But total energy consumption is voracious.

[old salt]

The US could green light & provide the weapons for Ukraine to attack Russia's oil infrastructure (e.g. ATACMS & air launched cruise missiles fired by F-16's safely within protected Ukrainian airspace), while increased US oil production would make up for the reduction of Russian oil in the global market.
Biden is blocking both.
