Good day all. In news that will make things even worse for the Democrats, OPEC has announced that they are going to cut production by…One MILLION Barrels a day. This will, of course, drive up prices and continue harming Americans. To make matters worse, the Biden Maladministration basically got on their knees and begged OPEC to keep production levels up
Biden’s response was to keep draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserves, which are now down to levels not seen since the 80’s. In the mean time, the dimwitted dunce is continuing to beg for oil from the Arab sheikhs. Here are some details from CNN:
The Biden administration launched a full-scale pressure campaign in a last-ditch effort to dissuade Middle Eastern allies from dramatically cutting oil production, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
But that effort appears to have failed, following Wednesday’s crucial meeting of OPEC+, the international cartel of oil producers that, as expected, announced a significant cut to output in an effort to raise oil prices. That in turn will likely cause US gasoline prices to rise at a precarious time for the Biden administration, just five weeks before the midterm elections.
To make matters worse, if that is at all possible, for President* Bumbles Dementia, OPEC+ decided to cut production even deeper then they initially planned.
On Wednesday morning, OPEC+ oil ministers meeting in Vienna agreed to an even larger production cut than the White House had feared — 2 million barrels per day, beginning in November, according to a readout of the meeting released on Wednesday. The ministers said the cuts were necessary “in light of the uncertainty that surrounds the global economic and oil market outlooks.”
Translation: “Those silly Americans put a complete failure in office who has destroyed their Energy independence. Here is our chance to improve our balance sheets and show that idiot who is actually the boss.”
President Joe Biden told CNN’s Arlette Saenz on Wednesday that he was “concerned” about the cuts, which he viewed as “unnecessary.” Secretary of State Antony Blinken told reporters when asked about the move that “when it comes to OPEC, we’ve made clear our views to the OPEC members.”
And, as mentioned before, OPEC’s answer was short and simple.
The maladministration, instead of undoing all the damage they’ve done to the American energy sector over the last 18 months decided to initiate a full court press against OPEC. The problem was, it was the equivalent of putting a junior varsity basketball team against the Boston Celtics.
Some of the draft talking points circulated by the White House to the Treasury Department on Monday that were obtained by CNN framed the prospect of a production cut as a “total disaster” and warned that it could be taken as a “hostile act.”
“It’s important everyone is aware of just how high the stakes are,” said a US official of what was framed as a broad administration effort that is expected to continue in the lead up to the Wednesday OPEC+ meeting.
So what do you plan to do about it? Send in the Marines, or are you just going to make threats that OPEC will ignore, leading you to make more threats that they will continue to ignore? The simple fact of the matter is, Joe Biden is a complete fool, a moron and an utter incompetent, who has always surrounded himself with people who are just as stupid and incompetent as he is. As a Senator or even Vice President, this isn’t that much of an issue. As President*? It is.
The White House is “having a spasm and panicking,” another US official said, describing this latest administration effort as “taking the gloves off.” According to a White House official, the talking points were being drafted and exchanged by staffers and not approved by White House leadership or used with foreign partners.
In a statement to CNN, National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said, “We’ve been clear that energy supply should meet demand to support economic growth and lower prices for consumers around the world and we will continue to talk with our partners about that.”
These morons brought this all on themselves. When the Greatest President of the 21st Century, Donald Trump, left office after the Tainted Election of 2020, the United States was energy independent. In less then one year, that senile idiot trashed that independence and energy costs have skyrocketed. Now he is going around and basically throwing a temper tantrum at OPEC+ telling them they have give the United States cheap oil.
The CNN article goes on to list all the threats and promises the maladministration is making to OPEC+. The one thing that doesn’t appear to be on the list of remedies is reopening all the American oil, coal and gas production that the Idiot in Chief has shut down.
Now all the Green New Deal chickens are coming home to roost. Energy prices have started climbing again, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been all but drained, and people are now worrying that their choices this winter will be to starve or freeze to death. That this is happening now, instead of after the Midterm elections is just icing on the political cake. With any luck, the drubbing the Democrats will take will be historic in nature.
The sad part is, the same incompetent idiots in the maladministration will still be there, screwing things up by the numbers. This is what happens when you have people in power who, unlike President Trump, put America and Americans last, not first. There will be only one way to fix things.
