A Few Points to Ponder...

     *  When Joe O'Biden took office America was energy independent.

(I give him the "O" because he carried Obama's water for eight years.  He deserves the honorarium...)

     *  In fact, due to the discovery and exploitation of the Bakken Oil Shale Deposits in the Pacific Northwest and Canada, America was a net-exporter of oil and natural gas.   

     *  The experts tell us that this Deposit holds enough oil and gas to provide for America's needs for the next 200 years.  Let me repeat that, 200 years!  More, in fact, than in all of the Middle East!  Freeing us finally from the flinty grasp of those greedy oil sheiks.

     *  That oil and gas abundance gave us low energy prices and a better way of life.  Having never learned the value of leaving well enough alone, the Democrats had to muck things up.

     *  O'Biden cancelled the XL-Pipeline on the morning of his first day in office, destroying more than 100,000 of our high-paying union jobs, and pissed off Canada, our largest trading partner.  The only reason I can deduce for this self-destructive action is that Trump wanted it, so it must be bad. 

     *  O'Biden then green-lighted the Nordstream 2 gas pipeline from Russia to Germany, without any concessions, fueling Putin's ambitions and driving a stake through the heart of NATO.  

Sort of like helping the Ukrainians protect their borders while completely ignoring the security of our own.  Hmmm...

     *  That's left us where we are today.  We have historically high gas, oil and fuel prices, including up to $8.00 a gallon gas here in Taxifornia.  Hey Joe!  Even Democrats have to buy gas!     

     *  Oh yeah, and historically high inflation.  7% at last report.  Bummer, that.  While folks were safe at home, locked down, shades drawn, double-masked, giving the Gummint "two weeks to slow the curve" two years ago, they lost 7% of their wealth.  Oh well, no good deed goes unpunished... 

     *  These are just a few Points to Ponder.  But there's one more.  I'll continue to ponder on exactly why good ol' Joe would wish to shoot himself - and us - in the foot like this.  Intentionally.  In front of God and everybody.  Unless his goal was to destroy America as it is, and has been, and then try to remake it as a Socialist Paradise...

We'll find out come November whether The Folks are behind such an effort...
