Oil prices rose in trading on Tuesday despite news that President Biden will release of 50 million barrels of crude oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve fueling concerns about even higher gas prices in the coming months.
In an unprecedented and highly coordinated move, the U.S. will release its reserves together with China, Japan, India, South Korea and the U.K. The news spooked global energy markets as investors grew worried that the OPEC+ might retaliate by further reducing supply. According to the Administration, the oil may begin moving as early as mid-to-late December.
Crude traded up 2.5% to $78 per barrel as Brent crude moved up more than 3% to over $82 per barrel. Showdown with OPEC+
The Biden team is releasing oil from the U.S. reserves following OPEC+ countries’ refusal to boost production. While more supply with move prices lower, there is geopolitical risk associated with the maneuver as it could prompt a response by OPEC+. The group could scale back its own production — thereby causing a kind of “showdown” in global energy markets.
It is rare to tap strategic reserves as they are designed to be used in times of real emergencies. For example, the U.S. released 60 million barrels following the unrest that disrupted supplies in Libya in 2011.
Nonetheless, with gas prices up 50% from this time last year and Americans increasingly citing inflation as their biggest economic and political concern , the President has been faced with trying to stem the crisis.
Last week Biden attempted to point the finger at the energy companies themselves, questioning whether they might be illegally manipulating prices . In a letter to the Federal Trade Commission’s Lina Kahn, has asked her to examine the issue. U.S. Energy Independence in Danger

Prior to Biden assuming the Presidency, the U.S. was considered energy “independent” and, as a result of U.S. drilling, was less reliant on the Middle East. However, with the shutdown of the KeyStone pipeline and other ESG efforts to suppress the traditional oil and natural gas industry, there are growing concerns about the future of energy independence as it begins its […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
