A Bald-Faced Lie...

I know that I, the Chuckmeister, have believed in the past that those I elect would never choose to look me in the face and lie to me outright.

I no longer believe that.

Our President, one Mr. Joe O'Biden, delivered unto us on TV the other morning a speech.  In this speech he stated that we, America, are producing more oil and gas now than at any time in our history.  More even, he told us, than when he assumed the Throne.  And that it's not HIS fault if we're not producing more.  Yeah, I think that's called gaslighting.

So, thinking that good ol' Joe might be blowing smoke up our collective arses, I did a little checking.  I Googled it.  I know, I know, it didn't take much.  But Joe could have done so as well.  In the darkness of his Rehoboth Beach mansion he could have Googled for an answer and one would have magically appeared.  And you can do it too.  And I soon learned, and now you will have learned, that America's total oil and gas production breaks out as follows:

     Oil Production, 2019:            Oil Production, 2021:

12.9 Million Barrels/Day    11.4 Million Barrels/Day

Clearly, even those with rudimentary math skills like my own can finger out that we're at a 1.5 Million Barrel/Day shortfall, right now, as we speak.  That's because Joe shut down the Keystone XL-Pipeline on Day One, which would have produced more than 500,000 Barrels/Day by now.  And he ended all oil and gas leases on Federal land that same morning.  While greenlighting Russia's Nord Stream 2 Pipeline, from Russia to Germany, guaranteeing their long-term fealty to that country.

And then went on a telephonic World Tour to try and convince our enemies, long-term sponsors of terrorism, to please produce more oil so we can give Putin the finger.  He looks past the Permian Basin and the Bakken Oil Deposits here at home, which make America the owner of more proven oil deposits than any other country on Earth, to beg Venezuela and Saudi Arabia and Iran to produce more. 

What a disgrace! 

So he cannot have it both ways.  He cannot do everything to signal his war on energy, and then look us in the face and mumble through another speech, filled with falsehoods, written by some pimply-faced, recent college graduate in "Climate Awareness" with a hard-on for the oil companies.  And then shuffle back to his lair, primped and coddled and kept in an information cocoon, bereft of the facts, and primed for the next time his handlers need to trot him out and tell another lie to the American People.   

You don't see it all that often, but you suspect it all the time.  This is a time when you have the proof.  Your President looked you in the face and lied to you.  And his Press Secretary, Peppermint Patty, did the same thing in a press conference the day before yesterday.  And whether he did it while knowing he was doing so, or by permitting those around him to lie through him to you and me, it matters not.  He lied.  

So to all those of you who chose to throw in with this bozo, You see what you did?  You like $7.00 a gallon gas?  You like world wars?  

VOTE BETTER NEXT TIME!!!
