Nonsense. There is worldwide inflation caused by the rapid end of the pandemic and Russia's invasion.
Your reasoning seems specious. Violence is not correlated with left or right but with access to education and earning potential.
There are simply more murders committed by those leaning or on the left, a narrative suggesting otherwise is false.
Joe's gaffe about an incursion by Russia into Ukraine combined with his war on U.S. fossil fuels was a major contributor to Bidenflation. Europe needed fossil fuels to resupply them and Joe let LNG sit in U.S. ports, tied up by Biden administration regulations and practices. People have been pleading with Joe to let the U.S. supply the energy for Europe, that means reversing his curtailment of the pipelines and all of his restrictions-- turning on the U.S. spigots. Joe won't budge. The United States had just become a net exporter of energy before Joe took office. The U.S. has enough fossil fuels to cleanly supply not only our country but Europe as well. Curtailing U.S. production drives the price of oil up, we have been telling Joe that the U.S. does not have the electric infrastructure to switch over to electric cars, nor can most of the people afford them, and have been telling Joe that oil is used in all kinds of ways in the U.S. economy.
Which gaffe is that, specifically? Is this some sort of attempt to blame him for Putin ordering an unprovoked invasion of a sovereign nation?
Inflation is world wide. There is nothing false about that. May I suggest you broaden your new sources. I just came back from Europe, inflation is around 8%, about the same as the US. And if you're saying Russia's invasion has had no effect on prices, then you are living in an alternative universe.
Point to that Biden policy that has had an effect on OPEC prices.
So let me understand this. OPEC, which is now reaping cash, is the cause of inflation because of borrowing through the IMF during Biden's term? What are you saying?
Baloney. Fossil fuels are both produced and transported. Joe shut down the pipeline from Canada right after he took office. LNG was stuck in port instead of being transported to Europe. And Joe has launched all kinds of restrictions to discourage more U.S. produced LNG and oil.
That is supposed to be the way things work. However, the Justice Department and other federal agencies have much unchecked corruption and are too often subject to political influences. We have seen actions taken against parents who speak up before their school boards. Scandals have hit the intelligence agencies for many years and the perpetrators to often get promoted rather than removed.
Talk about drivel. Biden revoked the permission for the Keystone XL pipeline which was to transfer tar sand oil, the dirtiest oil, down to ports to send most all of it to other countries. It was going to be traveling over the Ogallada Aquifier which provides water in the plains from South Dakota to Texas. A leak would have been devastating.
Ditto to the last sentence. The Keystone XL was projected to carry 830,000 barrels of oil per day, just about the same as we imported from Russia. The oil would have gone to refineries, certainly some was expected to go to Europe and other countries but most could have ended up in the U.S. due to shortages. What it would have done is bring more oil into the world supply and cut down the price of oil. And that's just one project Biden attacked!
