Ever since Joe Biden has been in office he and his team have been dead set on seeing an armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine. This was very perplexing to many of us on the right. Thankfully President Trump was able to keep Americans out of the war in Syria despite the establishment being dead set on Americans deploying troops to the conflict. Now that Trump is out of office, there was nothing stopping ‘the elite’ from ensuring this war commenced …
While Biden and company have stated that US troops would not be deployed to Ukraine, I’m not sure just how much we trust that this will be the case.
Back to Biden’s apparent desire to see Russia and Ukraine do battle … what could be the motivation? We joked that the conflict could be used by the Biden regime to blame inflation and skyrocketing fuel prices on. We laughed it off as being too absurd for even the left to hang their hat on …
However, within hours of Russia attacking Ukraine, the talking points already began to pour out of the White House blaming the skirmishes for US gas prices …
Anyone with a memory will recall that our issue with gas prices has been on going since Biden took office and has a much greater correlation to the shuttering of domestic pipelines than it will ever have with Russia/Ukraine hostilities.
Things have gotten so badly that … well, things have never been this bad before …
BREAKING: Gas Prices Hit New All-Time US Record
Jim Hoft, the founder of The Gateway Pundit writes:
Gas prices hit an all-time high on Monday at $4.11 per gallon.
Thank a Democrat!
Gas prices went up 10 cents since this morning.
Elections have consequences.
Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.
Joe Biden’s first order of business in January 2022 was to kill tens of thousands of jobs and cancel the Keystone XL pipeline. Biden has crushed the oil and gas industry in America while importing gas from China.
This is the highest gas price ever recorded in the US.
Gas Buddy reported:
The national average price of gasoline in the U.S. today broke the existing record, rewriting the all-time high to today’s $4.104 per gallon, according to GasBuddy, the leading fuel savings platform saving North American drivers the most money on gas. The previous all-time high was set back in 2008 at $4.103 per gallon, just ahead of the U.S. Great Recession and housing crisis. The national average price of diesel is also nearing a new record, now at $4.63 per gallon, likely to break the record of $4.846 per gallon in the next two weeks.
In addition to setting a new all-time high, the national average is seeing its largest ever 7 day spike: 49.1 cents per gallon, eclipsing the 49.0 cent weekly rise after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Many gas price records have been broken due to Russia’s war on Ukraine, which has pushed Western countries to impose severe sanctions on Russia, curbing Russian exports of crude oil to the global market.
On Saturday, the U.S. national average gas price surpassed $4 per gallon for the first time since 2008, and Friday’s spike alone came close to the record daily rise of 18 cents per gallon, increasing nearly 16 cents per gallon in one day. Diesel prices, however, did break records on Friday, as diesel soared to its largest daily gain ever: 22.2 cents per gallon, 6 cents higher than the previous record from 2013.
“Americans have never seen gasoline prices this high, nor have we seen the pace of increases so fast and furious. That combination makes this situation all the more remarkable and intense, with crippling sanctions on Russia curbing their flow of oil, leading to the massive spike in the price of all fuels: gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and more,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “It’s a dire situation and won’t improve any time soon. The high prices are likely to stick around for not days or weeks, like they did in 2008, but months. GasBuddy now expects the yearly national average to rise to its highest ever recorded.”
