Big Joke Bidet is now an oil speculator. As has been true his entire life, he’s playing with our money.
It takes the concerted efforts of the DoJ, FBI, and CIA to keep him in office, awake, and out of jail.

I recall an announcement by the Biden Administration to refill the SPR when the price dropped to $74 a barrel. The price fell below $70 for a while but the SPR was not refilled. Clearly, team Biden had no intention to replenish the reserve. Now they pretend to be looking out for American taxpayers by not buying oil for the reserve because oil is “way too expensive.”

The fubar of America continues. The Human Trafficker in Chief continues his fubar campaign against America. He drains the petroleum reserves, the helium reserves, etc. Why? Because the Panda told him to do it.

So Biden is draining the SPR because "oil is too expensive." And he is cutting the Navy's budget. I guess he finally connected the dots and realized Navy ships require fuel and if he defunds the Navy then less fuel is needed.
Smartest move he ever made. /s

The real problem in the USA today is THE MEDIA. Politicians will naturally do whatever they can get away with, and the media clowns just sit there and provide cover for this asinine behavior. It's embarrassing to watch.............

Biden emptied the reserve to BUY VOTES by nudging the gas prices down after his policies jacked the prices up. As with so much of Biden's agenda, done to appease his voters, it was stupid and it yields disaster for the American people. When they notice it and start to complain he does idiotic things COUNTER to the original intent of his policies. In this case, gas prices were put under pressure to reduce consumption and CO2 release. Release of the reserve dropped the price a tiny bit and added more CO2 into the environment. The two actions are in direct conflict. Only a moron or senile person would think that they could get away with this.
Now the empty reserves can't be used to buy votes for November and gas prices are a nasty reminder of Biden's policies every time a driver fills his gas tank.

Biden is determined to destroy the oil producing industry. Is it any wonder why he will not refill the oil reserves.
The fool wants electric tanks and fighter jets. Why should we need oil.> What a maroon.

It took 32 years to fill the reserve to capacity (714 million barrels). Refilling the Reserve at ($67 - $72 per barrel) will cost between $26 and $28 billion dollars. There is no telling how long it will take, but it is easy to say it will take 10 or more years, assuming our government has the political will to do it.

Last time I noticed, our gas was $3.23. I keep waiting for a big jump because the last time I was by Sam's gas, it was $3.35 which is more than ours. I'm sure it will happen.

Buying oil to refill the Strategic Oil Reserve is a lot better use of the taxpayer dollar than sending it to Ukraine, building a jetty in Gaza, UN /UNRHA dues, or paying for the MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS welcomed by Biden.

Once, there was a daily comic called The Born Loser. I never in my life thought that a comic imagination would ever become POTUS. I thought he had his wings clipped back in the 88 election, but like a stubborn cancer, he stuck around long enough to try to kill the host.

The only way gasoline will ever be cheaper is if Donald Trump is elected, and if he decides to rebuild the Strategic reserve, the democrats and the RINO's will be all over him.

This is treason. You cannot deliberately deplete a needed item we would need to defend ourselves or to prosper and still claim to care about America. Who is really taking these actions? It isn't Biden because he doesn't know what is being done in his name. So who are the traitors in the White House. THEY need to be held accountable and no one in the Democrat Party cares enough about America to fight back. Traitors.

Joe's to-do list to kill us:
Open the borders and let in the world's worst people
Abandon $85 billion of American military hardware for the terrorists to use
Destroy the economy through inflation and overspending
Keep shrinking the amount of farmland
Devastate the US Military
Use the intel agencies against American citizens
Encourage international wars
Promote the myth of Climate Change
Destroy the medical industry
Continue to spread hatred among our races and religions
If we didn't know better, we might think that Joe is a traitor.

There are a lot of sheeple who are in for a very rude awakening. There are many in America who think bidet has done alright regarding oil, and even the price of gas still to this day. Even after telling some of these sheeple the main reason prices haven't gone through the roof yet is because bidet's been robbing the SPR. I did see an article indicating the feds haven't been able to shut down oil coming from private property yet which would also contribute to gas prices not taking off like a bottle rocket, but I don't know if will be enough to offset the lack of infusions from the SPR. We'll see.
An interesting anecdote to go along with veghead draining the SPR. When President Trump was in office and the price of a gallon of gas dropped to around $1.50 where I live, I heard people parroting the enemedia who were oh so worried about the oil companies going under due to the low price of oil. My guess is now these same people will not be concerned one bit about the oil companies. . .unless of course the enemedia tells them to be!

Good thing the world isn't spinning up for war and we didn't need that oil or this would make a strong case for treason. Oh, wait.......
Remember, too that the democrat congress would not let President Trump refill it (before Biden sold so much to China) while oil prices were so low. This was done by design.

The Dem-entia President, the soulless and malleable front dummy for the Dem-churian Party.
They know they have destroyed the country over the last several decades by systematically "re-imagining" every cultural, moral, economic, legal, and philosophical basis of this once-great Nation to the point that the original concept has almost vanished. A stunningly large number of Americans seem to have no grasp of what this country is "supposed" to be about, and how it needs to be maintained to survive.
All of this for the Left to build a final manifestation of a helter-skelter, sociopathic and authoritarian political ideology that has historically never worked and which can only function (on a temporary basis) by crushing the human element in all of us.
I believe the cloak is falling from the leaders responsible for this, and more and more people are being horrified by the damage they are suddenly witness to. Even the leaders appear to be having doubts, BUT they are too invested, too committed, and clearly too visibly culpable. The insanity of what they have done is reflecting back on them, leaving them nowhere to go but forward into the chaos of their making.
We can only work hard and pray that they can be removed before the last light is extinguished.

I know FJBrandon is a Demon-entia-KKKRat, but I'm not sure not filling the SPR is an act of stupidity. It's probably not him, but Obama or the CCP that is keeping him from refilling the SPR, thus weakening the American economy, as well as the military.

If it’s good for the country, you can bet Biden won’t do it. However, he has no problems finding billions to give to Iran and Ukraine.
