What’s Happening:

Gas prices have broken records to be the highest ever. But even as Americans suffer, Biden seems slow to do anything about it.

Many have pointed to Biden’s own anti-America policies for the crisis. Instead of fixing them, though, he is going on a rampage against American oil.

And it sucking up to our rivals.

From Business Insider:

He’s bashed Exxon and rebuked other large oil companies for running up huge profits in a letter, signaling a more aggressive approach against a sector that he’s urging to quickly ramp up production.

He’s poised to meet Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman in July, despite vowing to turn Saudi Arabia into an international pariah over the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, a prominent critic of the Saudi royal family and a journalist who resided in the US.

Biden has refused to reverse policies that have triggered this gas price crisis. He denies companies access to federal land for drilling.

On top of that, other regulations and fees are increasing the costs to produce energy.

Biden refuses to change any of that. Instead, he is insulting American oil companies blaming them for policies he’s enacted.

Meanwhile, he is going to Saudi Arabia, a country he’s insulted, to beg for more oil.

Saudi Arabia has no reason to increase oil production. When demand is high and supply is low, they can charge whatever price they want.

Saudis are getting richer by the minute, as Americans struggle.

What leverage does Joe have to get them to pump more oil? Biden insulted the nation’s leaders, blaming them for the murder of a reporter.

He said he’d make the nation a “pariah” of the world, whatever that means.

Saudi Arabia has little reason to accept anything from Biden. He can bully them or threaten them.

But he has nothing to offer them that would make them want to play ball.

All this trip will do is waste tax dollars on jet fuel.

Key Takeaways:

• Joe Biden is bashing American oil companies while begging Saudi Arabia for oil.
• Biden’s own policies have triggered rising gas prices.
• He previously promised to make Saudi Arabia a “pariah.”
