Never let a crisis go to waste: OPEC+ Rejects Biden’s Call to Pump More Oil
Reuters reports that the oil cartel, which now includes Russia, sees no need to increase oil output beyond its current levels.
Gas prices in the United States have shot up since January 2021, increasing more than 40% in that period. This and Biden’s monetary spending policies are contributing to historic levels of inflation surging well beyond the average American’s pay increases.
Biden canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline and canceled oil and gas leases via executive orders on his first day in office. He faces lawsuits over those actions while they contribute to the rise in energy prices. The instability his decisions have caused in Afghanistan could have yet another negative impact on the economy.
Last week, Biden asked OPEC+ to increase production, prompting derision and reminders of his executive orders that harm U.S. energy production. He has his answer.
Related: From 11:15 a.m. Thursday, August 12 to a little past 4 p.m., Monday, August 16, President Joe Biden did not appear in public.
So in Canada it has been reported to me that in Quebec gas stations are running out of gas because there is no one to drive the trucks to resupply them. Hmm,
Good.
Why should they produce more oil to aid the United States? It was a famous maxim of Napoleon’s: “Never interrupt an enemy when he’s making a mistake.” The US problems of accelerating fuel cost and surging inflation are all self inflicted on both the United States and its supposed allies including Canada.
All this is coming at a time of the US’s self manufactured disaster in Afghanistan. Again, a self inflicted error. The USSR demonstrated the futility of military intervention in Afghanistan for a decade from 1979-1989. And so the US went and replicated someone else’s blunders. Albert Einstein had a saying for this, “Stupidity is repeating the same experiment and expecting a different result.”
“Stupidity is repeating the same experiment and expecting a different result.
Yeah…..
BERNIE SANDERS AND HIS
SQUATTER SQUADS SOCIALISM.
You don’t quite get it. The US spent 15 years in futility in Vietnam. This came after many centuries of attempted subjugation by various Chinese imperial dynasties, all of which failed after which the French failed in the 1950s. The USSR spent a decade in futility in Afghanistan. The only one to ever “pacify” Afghanistan was Alexander the Great about 330 BC. And he only did it by depopulating the country by at least 1/3rd.
Squatter squads? Piffle. Napoleon showed how to deal with that in the squashing of the revolt in Paris in 1795. That was the famous “whiff o grapeshot”. Again that’s not new. Belisarius showed how it was done during the Nika revolt in 532 AD. What’s different this time was the incompetence of American governments, federal, state, and municipal to deal with the problem of political rioters.
Bernie’s scum did succeed in terrorizing the voters and perpetrating for vote fraud. Last year, the scum won. Why don’t you understand that?
SEE! GAS PRICES AND GAS SHORTAGES ARE WHY WE NEED TO RAMP UP DECARBONIZING OUR ECONOMY ASAP!!!!

The lower mainland is doing this as we post….
At what point is enough ..enough ? The rotten dems spent 4 years trying to hang Trump with absolutely no consideration for America’s priorities . The media played their part and the result was Joe Cluster – F #%+#@=k .We in Canada have created the same ball of shit .
Well, that’s good news! That, and the beautiful rain I woke up to this morning in parched Calgary.
Thank Dear Leader for that. Dear Leader does everything in our lives. If you don’t believe it now, you will be required to after he’s acclaimed as Dear Leader next month.
Yeah, gotta love all that free H2O. Haven’t watered once this year. Not being charged or taxed on it, too. Mowing has been curtailed, one less chore around here. Still raining. Should clear the air of BC smoke and snuff some fires, too.
‘Joe Biden,’ A useless name that will live in Infamy.’
Gas prices are rising, but Afghanistan women are fleeing to America.
When they take off those black baggies, might be worth it.
We need to attack Canada, withdraw, and bring those
Good looking babes to southern beaches in their pink polka-dot bikinis.
I am not a pervert , But I can still turn my head & shoulders.
The Democrats (& Obama) and the NDP/Bloc/Greens were all happy that Joe cancelled the pipeline.
The Liberals shrugged and hid their glee that it was cancelled.
All kinds of Americans and Canadians were happy about Joe cancelling Keystone XL.
Western Democracies are run and inhabited by some of the most pig-ignorant buggers who have ever lived.
Buddy,
You forgot/ No offense to PIGS.
Fixed it.
Yes. Everything you said, especially the last sentence.
Pigs are smarter. They squeal when they smell death coming.
White supremacy problem in the US? More like a white incompetency problem in the US as of recently.

“Conservatism” has now been relegated to to the history file.
Only in their tiny brains. My son is 18, conservative, and got a 99% average in high school. People like him will be running things in the future. Don’t give up hope, and please don’t give satisfaction to filth like UnMe.
Hate to break it to you but your son is a minority and will never inherit the reins of power. If you require proof look no further than this upcoming election. The Liberals, NDP and Greens are spouting the Green Scam and the Conservatives don’t have the intelligence to blow them out of the water by stating the facts. Then there is the pandemic scam the the vast majority of the population have swallowed. A flu that is 99% survivable by the majority of the population has been portrayed as the New Black Death and the sheep line up for an experimental vaccine that is questionable at best and requires booster shots that may have long term consequences. Hang on to your dream that Canada will find a way out of this nightmare we are living, however recent past history would indicate that there is no road back to what this country once was.
I hear you and won’t deny it. I’ve had good talks with him about finding a new homeland, Switzerland for example. Didn’t they recently have a government that cut immigration? Anyway I’m sure it will evolve as time goes on.

Forget Biden; this is all on SCOTUS.
SCOTUS could have simply heard the case, and none of this could even have happened.
Don’t complain about the last link in the chain. Start working backwards, and fix the problem as far up the chain as you can climb.
If state legislatures were doing their job, if state AGs, governors, courts were doing their jobs, …
The Time to declare our independence is now.
Weak leadership all around.
We Westerners are probably better armed than the Poor “Armed Forces of Confederation and certainly are better united.
With no leadership,we are still better managed than The Confederated Kleptocracy.
Separating now,means we control our resources,which will be in huge demand as the World falls into chaos.
Beef,Barley and Bitumen,we got it all.
If we can hold it and force fair trade we will boom.
Not to forget the uranium to “empower our selves with ,nor the gold ores currently held captive by Gang Green.
As for our “native” friends,I believe most out here would love the choice to be full citizens instead to State hostages.
Especially with Ottawa currently attempting to crush the Reserves Private Incomes.
I’m not too sure what is left of our armed forces, would back the government of the day if push came to shove, after the past two or three days of .Gov expounding on A-stan. At least from the lower ranks. They are badly exposed on their hypocrisy and venal thinking. People do notice. Pretty Buoy is horribly exposed. The Emperor has no clothes, despite what the crowd in Tronna/Ottywah/Moan Real think. Wait until Line 5 is shut down and that IS the other shoe to drop on Zentrul Kontrul.
Some called to “turn off the taps, let the eastern bastards freeze in the dark”.
Who’d a thunk, the USA (democrats) doing it?
She’d be doing us a favor out here (Gov. Witmer), even the local Paiutes in Michigan are in favor of shutting Line 5 down. I say get to it. Ontario will learn to walk and the eco freak Mayor of Sarnia will get his just deserts when Line 5 dries up and the town folds up like a cheap suit.
