  1. Let’s ask other countries to up their output. Why increase domestic production and move back to energy independence we had during Trump? We need to be dependent on countries that hate us. By sending our gas dollars to these countries, we fund their killing of innocent people worldwide.
    Why ask China to decrease pollution or Russia and Ukraine to behave? The Biden family can’t risk the millions they’ve taken from these governments.

    1. Donald tells you the Bidens each received $3.5M and you believe it’s true? Why? Fiat? Ukase?

    2. We did not have energy independence under Trump. That simply is not true. Their are approximately 9,100 oil leases not being used. It’s the greed of the oil companies causing the increased gas prices.

    3. So Hunter’s laptop(which is now verified by everyone including the NYT) is not reliable to track emails listing payoffs by Russia, Ukraine and China? What about the Clinton campaign and the DNC being fined this week for paying for the Russia collusion hoax?
      Do facts matter to you people anymore?

    4. @Bernard: agree. It’s under reported because it doesn’t fit the agenda, but Biden did exactly that. With the Russia disruption, he went to OPEC and asked them to increase production. The fun loving Arabs told him to pound sand.

    5. Bernard: an individual compromised by Russian propaganda. What a sad time to be an American.

  2. This will not lower the price of gas. If you drop the price of gas by $0.05/gallon, the people who have the ability to set the price of gas will raise it by $0.05. As soon as shortages were predicted, the opportunists immediately raised the prices, when the prices are forced to be dropped, they will drag their feet to lower the prices to extract every possible penny.

    1. If Biden is an idiot, then that doesn’t say much for Donald. Trump tried to claim if he’d been in office [that] Putin wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine. The best Donald could have negotiated for would have been free Russian lessons for all Republicans. Дональд Трамп идиот. Тот, кто любит его, — дурак.

    2. Bingo, John M., Right on.

      And Trump is probably right Phillip P. Putin would have thought twice before invading Ukraine if Trump had been in office, but he knows Biden is a stupid, dementia-addled leftist puppet paper tiger, so he pushed ahead.

  3. Six months as in I care about the midterms and trying to prevent big losses at the ballot box. Stop with pushing the “green agenda. The free market in time will take care of that on its own without wrecking our economy and way of life. Besides if we don’t find alternative sources for the rare earth metals that currently all come from China and Russia there won’t be any green stuff to build.

  4. How convenient that 6 months takes us up to right before the midterm elections. Almost like its planned that way, Ha! Nothing like using our oil reserves for political reasons! Presidents can’t campaign or fund raise in the White House, but apparently they can bribe the gullible public with slightly cheaper oil. Pitiful, and mainstream corporate media doesn’t even question it.

    1. Yep. Good to see so many posting comments “get it.” A refreshing swing from the usual gaggle of leftist posters.

  5. Yet I’ve been seeing for months the republican calls and shouts for Biden to tap the reserves, start up the pipeline again…”bring our gas prices down by releasing the reserves.” Well now all the Republicans are denouncing it as political ploy. Man, we can never keep the trump.people happy. Even when they get what they’ve been asking the president to do!
