Levin: ‘We Have a Damn Fool in the White House’

  

Biden’s Ukraine gaffes starting to ‘look like a pattern’




Levin: ‘We Have a Damn Fool in the White House’

2:07

Sunday on his Fox News Channel show “Life, Liberty & Levin,” Mark Levin blasted President Joe Biden and members of his administration over their handling of foreign policy amid the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Levin called Biden a “disgrace and disaster,” describing him as “a damn fool.” He then labeled Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan “pathetic” and lamented that they were in charge of going up against “genocidal maniacs” like Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“[B]iden is the called the commander-in-chief. He is a disgrace and disaster,” Levin emphasized. “He actually has the Russians negotiating with the Iranians on a nuclear deal with us. What kind of a fool does that, I will never know. He puts more sanctions on the American oil industry and no sanctions on the Russian oil industry as I speak. What kind of a fool does that when we can use oil to debilitate the Russian economy, the Putin economy, and war machine, rather than debilitate you, Mr. and Mrs. America? We do have a damn fool in the White House. There’s no question about that. And we should be muscling up our military for any possibilities, and we’re not. Despite spending trillions and trillions of massive debt, we are not muscling up the United States military; Russia, China, Iran — the axis of evil — the real axis of evil that exists.”

He continued, “But why does this matter? Because ladies and gentlemen, I personally am sick and tired of hearing the excuses for Putin and the attacks on the United States that we somehow are going to escalate something. We have been incredibly passive in the face of what Putin is doing. Diplomacy? Look who the diplomats are. Look at the Secretary of State. He’s pathetic. Look at the national security adviser. He’s pathetic. We’ve never had such a pathetic team in modern American history — up against true, vile, genocidal maniacs.”

LEVIN CALLS JOE BIDEN A DAMNED FOOL AND THE CAUSE OF HIGH GAS PRICES!

Life, Liberty & Levin 3/6/22 | BREAKING FOX NEWS March 6, 2022



Prepare for $7.00 GAS. And Economic Collapse (Just Like 2008).





NO ONE IS, AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN, UP BIG OIL'S MORE THAN GEORGE W BUSH. YOU CAN BET BUSH WILL NOT TAKE A BREAK IN ORCHESTRATING BIDEN'S INVASION OF 'CHEAP' LABOR ILLEGALS AND WORK ON THE OIL CRISIS!

BUSH IS NOTHING BUT A WHITE COLLAR CRIMINAL.


HAVE LOOTED THE COUNTRY AS MUCH AS THE BUSH CRIME FAMILY!

The perilous ramifications of the September 11 attacks on the United States are only now beginning to unfold. They will undoubtedly be felt for generations to come. This is one of many sad conclusions readers will draw from Craig Unger's exceptional book House of Bush House of Saud: The Secret Relationship Between the World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties. As Unger claims in this incisive study, the seeds for the "Age of Terrorism" and September 11 were planted nearly 30 years ago in what, at the time, appeared to be savvy business transactions that subsequently translated into political currency and the union between the Saudi royal family and the extended political family of George H. W. Bush. 


Turns out Biden's family not the only one to benefit from Ukrainian fossil fuels

By Howard J. Warner

 

On Sept. 24, 2019, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the official impeachment inquiry that would be led by the Intelligence Committee and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).  At first, this was a curious decision to objective persons, since the Judiciary Committee has the authority over this type of procedure.  At the time, Pelosi indicated a threat by President Donald Trump to our national security during the July 25 conversation between him and President Zelensky of Ukraine.  She did this without the benefit of the transcript, but she doubtless already knew much of the CIA "whistleblower's" complaint.  Further, the Ukrainian president disputes her version.

But this is not the rationale for her haste to convene the investigation.  It appears that the D.C. swamp benefits another powerful family.  The Biden family has gotten special treatment from Ukrainian oil interests, and the Pelosi family has a similar advantage.  Paul Pelosi, Jr. was a board member of Viscoil and an executive at its related company NRGLab, which was involved in energy business in Ukraine.  Perhaps the use of the Intelligence Committee has given the Democrats the opportunity to limit Republican questioning and maintain secrecy over the responses from subpoenaed witnesses.  This would prevent any official record implicating Pelosi's son.  This also explains her reluctance to take a vote authorizing the investigation, since the minority party would gain some rights.

This is interesting also since much of the Democratic Party rejects carbon-based energy sources.  Biden has made this a part of his campaign.  The Green New Deal proposals will eventually end dependency on oil and gas as an energy source.  But this does not stop these politicos from benefiting financially from this sector of the economy.  This reminds one of the financial benefits that Al Gore's father had from Occidental Petroleum, which was one of the great polluters (remember Love Canal?).  He chose to make money selling carbon offsets to atone and make his own name. 

The Ukrainian oil company Burisma used many well connected members of the D.C. establishment connected to the Obama administration.  This interlocking swamp is a threat to the USA.  But the media have managed to convince a vast number of Americans that Trump is the threat.  When Trump railed against Pelosi in Louisiana on Friday, he was accusing her of not just splitting the nation politically, but also ignoring the financial benefits to powerful families at the detriment of our national security.  This also helps explain the constant discussion in public about Biden's son Hunter, in addition to the political advantage he might gain.

No wonder the establishment (including many Republicans) wants to impeach Trump.  Family security always "trumps" national security in the D.C. swamp.


Psaki: ‘There Are 9,000 Approved Oil Leases That Oil Companies Are Not Tapping into Currently’

(CNSNews.com) - President Biden called for fighting inflation by making more goods in the United States in his State of the Union address on Tuesday, but the Biden administration doesn’t hold the same view when it comes to rising gas prices.

Fox News White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked Thursday, “On gas, you just said that, you know, ‘less supply raises prices,’ it’s not in our strategic interest to reduce the supply. We also know, you know, the President, as recently as yesterday, talked about increasing domestic manufacturing to bring down prices on inflated items like goods.  So why not apply the same logic to energy and increase domestic production here?”

“Well, there are 9,000 approved oil leases that the oil companies are not tapping into currently.  So I would ask them that question,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said.

HEINRICH: Is there nothing that the administration can do to get those providers back to pre-pandemic levels? 

PSAKI:  Do you think the oil companies don’t have enough money to drill on the places that have been pre-approved?

HEINRICH: Just asking.

PSAKI:  I would — I would point that question to them. And we can talk about it more tomorrow when you learn more.

HEINRICH: Do you think that opening the Keystone Pipeline and having more energy-friendly policies might do that?

PSAKI: The Keystone Pipeline has never been operational.  It would take years for that to have any impact.  I know a number of members of Congress have suggested that, but that is a proposed solution that has no relationship or would have no impact on what the problem is we, here, all agree is an issue.

HEINRICH: So during that — those years where it would, you know, take to bring down prices, as you’re saying, we should just continue to buy Russian oil?

PSAKI:  Well, again, Jacqui, I think you’re familiar with a number of steps we’ve taken: a historic release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

HEINRICH: But that didn’t bring down prices — last time or this time.

PSAKI:  Well, we can — well, let me finish.  What we can do over time and what this is a rema- — reminder of, in the President’s view, is our need to reduce our reliance on oil.

The Europeans need to do that; we need to do that.  If we do more to invest in clean energy, more to invest in other sources of energy, that’s exactly what we can do to prevent this from happening in the future. We welcome any Republicans from joining us in that effort.

HEINRICH: As long as we’re buying Russian oil, though, aren’t we financing the war?

PSAKI: Well, Jacqui, again, it’s only about 10 percent of what we’re importing. I’ve not made any announcement about any decision on that front, but our objective here and our focus is making sure that any step we take maximizes the impact on President Putin and minimizes it on the American people, and anyone who’s calling for an end to the carveout should be clear that that would rise — raise prices. 


Gas Costing Buyers $5 on Average for First Time in San Diego

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 23: In an aerial view, gas prices over $5.00 a gallon are displayed at gas stations on February 23, 2022 in San Francisco, California. The Ukraine-Russia conflict could push gas prices to record highs in California and across the nation. According to AAA, the average …

A gallon of gas is now costing buyers $5 on average in San Diego as the national average recently climbed to $3.72.

Fox 5 reported on Friday:

California also reached that dubious milestone Friday, according to data compiled by AAA, which showed a more than 13-cent increase in a single day pushed the statewide average to about $5.07. It was even pricier in San Diego, which moved to about $5.10 on average after its own increase of around 13 cents.

State and county averages have climbed, approaching $5 while “setting and then surpassing new records for the most expensive average gallon over the past month,” the outlet said.

Gas prices have increased and may continue as the national average reached $3.72, Breitbart News reported Thursday.

In addition, San Francisco is now the first major American city to see the average cost of gas hit $5 a gallon, according to GasBuddy.com:

California cities typically feel extra pressure at the pump during price increases, as the state taxes gasoline at 51.1 cents per gallon, the highest of any state gas tax in the country. Other factors like the carbon management program and high cost of doing business send prices in the Bay Area particularly high.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden’s “war on fossil fuels” has driven growing oil prices, forcing Americans to pay the highest costs for gas in approximately nine years, Breitbart News reported in February.

“The left-wing media is trying to blame inflation and rising gasoline prices on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s aggression toward neighboring Ukraine and cited the recent spike in Brent crude oil at $99.50,” the article read.

In a social media post on Friday, oil and refined products analyst Patrick De Haan said the national average had reached “$3.781/gal, up an amazing 20c/gal from a week ago”:

Biden previously highlighted efforts to cut gas prices for consumers but told citizens they might save more money by buying an electric vehicle.

“The president notably suspended all federal leases on oil and gas and shut down the Keystone XL pipeline after taking office, which hurt the amount of domestic oil production,” Breitbart News reported in November. 


API Slams Biden’s SOTU Promise to Lower Energy Costs While Throttling Domestic Oil Production: ‘Unacceptable,’ Not What Americans Want

An official with the American Petroleum Institute (API) told reporters on a call on Thursday that President Joe Biden’s claim that he is doing all he can to lower energy cost rings hollow given that he has done everything he can to shut down domestic oil production.

“Let’s put this in the context,” Frank Macchiarola, senior vice president of policy economics and regulatory affairs at API, said on the call. “If you said that you wanted to lower prices. That people are paying too much for food. And then you turn around and restrict access to farming, cut off infrastructure, and propose tax increases on the agriculture industry domestically…”

“That would harm competitiveness with foreign agriculture,” Macchiarola said. “You would say that that administration is not serious about reducing the price of food.”

“They are sending a signal now that the United States policy is to be closed for business as it applies for oil and natural gas,” Macchiarola said. “That is unacceptable.”

“It’s not what the American people want,” Macchiarola said. “It’s not what bipartisan policymakers on Capitol Hill want. And it’s not good for the interests of the American people.”

A reporter asked him what actions are hurting domestic production.

“If you restrict access and cancel infrastructure, and impose additional costs, regulatory burdens, and tax increases, No. 1, you’re harming the investment atmosphere,” Macchiarola said.

“And you’re setting up the United States for a long term decline in our energy leadership,” he said.

During the call Macchiarola also said that despite Biden’s efforts, data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) shows that demand for oil is high and production is still increasing.

“EIA estimates 12 million barrels per day production in 2022,” Macchiarola said. “This would be a million barrels greater than January 2020, 2021. And they’re estimating record high production in 2023.”
