AP Photo/Evan Vucci The gas price crisis in the United States continues to spiral out of control. Those in the South have seen their gas prices double to over $3.00 a gallon over the last several months, but they have it easy compared to places like California, where one station was recently charging over $7.00 a gallon. That’s enough to make Europe blush.

Of course, every bit of this was self-inflicted on the nation, not by consumers, but by the Biden administration pandering to far-left delusions about climate change completely destroying the planet.
So what’s the solution? Is it to drill more domestically? To greenlight Keystone XL and other pipelines? To allow more fracking and offer more leases domestically? Nah, it’s to beg a bunch of terrorist sympathizing countries in the Middle East to pump more oil in the dirtiest way possible. The Biden administration is increasingly alarmed by rising gasoline prices that have reached a 7-year high, and has been calling on OPEC+ for weeks to pump more oil. https://t.co/sEhdy1dxbs — Bruno Maçães (@MacaesBruno) October 31, 2021 There’s a lot of stupidity involved in this, but let’s focus on the fact that we all live on the same planet. What I mean by that is that if the American left is concerned about climate change, they aren’t fighting it by blocking cleaner energy production (including natural gas) domestically. Having OPEC pump more oil out in the desert actually exacerbates the issue. Given that, why not increase production at home, which will result in fewer emissions if a lot of that production includes natural gas and building more next-gen nuclear power plants? That would also provide jobs for Americans in a time of out-of-control inflation and a stagnating economy.
But there’s too much common sense involved in that proposition, and the administration is not operating based on logic. Rather, the entire war on domestic energy production is one big self-defeating virtue signal. It does not make sense on a rational level, even if […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
