Profits for fossil fuels have been significant in the last two years.

OPEC setting global prices to make up for losses in 2020 is the biggest problem for us right now.

Biden can be accused of not addressing the immigration problem, wanting to spend too much money....but the whole myth of killing the fossil fuel industry is very misleading.
No it is not Biden, it is 100% the Democrat party platform to kill fossil fuels

But still, after 600+ violent and destructive riots, looting and arson by the BLM and antifa crowd, which Joe Biden and the emocrat's supported, and do you equate those riots to Jan 6th? Nope, you scare monger over Jan 6th Ir was one freaking fluke of a day, and never repeated before or since. :smack
I think so much bad $h1t is going to happen that ten yrs from now people will be embarrassed to have gone full-on Nancy boy over Jan 6th. Remember the scene in Road Warrior where the Gyro Captain is chained to a log, limping through the wasteland and musing to himself about the pre-apocalypse days - "Do you remember lingerie?" That'll be us but we'll be chuckling about the hijinks of Jan 6th. "Do you remember Qanon Shaman and the churro vendor? Good times."

Can we stay friends?
Under one condition....you promise to get involved with your local GOP and help change Congress. The 2023 election is coming up and we need all the help we can get.

Your Country is 'Won and Directed by Local Officials' (not national politics). National Politics is a reflection of Local Politics. AND YES you can make a difference (and its a lot of fun too).

1 or 2 meetings a month, get involved with Campaigns and fund raising. Get signs put up on the Street. Meet local Politicians (good and bad ones). Get to know the issues affecting your local County and government. IF YOU ARE LOCATED in a Democrat Run County, you'll be needed even more~

Plus, you'll find out who your true friends are....when they find out you're voting for America And not some Globalist who wants to turn us into 'The Next China' ~!

All we really need is a citizen’s police force officer stationed at every mail in ballot drop box nationwide, video taping and checking ID’s, and making sure that these criminal mules aren’t allowed to stuff those boxes like they did in 2020.

The only time gas has been this high is with Obama or Biden at the helm. Oil companies have been around the whole time.

Curious how those same oil companies were not "manipulating prices and profits" during the Trump administration. That's what's wrong with these narratives, if, as Joe Biden claims, the greedy rich are manipulating prices now, why weren't they do the same damn thing under Trump? Did they forget all about greed and manipulation during those four years?? Or are they just doing it now to make Joe look bad?

We all learn by our mistakes.

Next thing I would suggest cutting the chord ( carries all the mind bending hard left channels ).
Go strictly Smart T.V. Internet.
Search out your information rather than have it spoon fed daily.
The days of being brainwashed are over...................

P.S. you'll save a whole lot of money per month as well......

Best wishes.

Trump scared me . Such a big ego and he talked to
much. I cut him some slack though as the media would not let up on him.They outright lied about things he said. If he’s so bad why do you need to make **** up?
I also think he got screwed right from the start with the Russia scam from the lefty’s. It’s no wonder he was defensive right away. Even the righty’s hated him because he wasn’t one of them. That was one of the best things about him.
He could have been even better for America I think if not having to fight from every side all the time.
I believed he loved America. I don’t believe Joe does. I think he loves destroying it.

I didn't vote for Trump nor would I ever. I certainly would vote for DeSantis otherwise back to the Libertarian party I go.

I thought all those negative ads against Biden were just politics and the reality would be better than it is.

I was wrong. I admit it. I apologize for not taking a strong enough stance against the hard left.

My bad and I promise to pay better attention to the facts and make better voting decisions going forward.

I am so sure that there are so many other people who fell the same way


Let's flex our muscles in November and in 2024!
