On Day One of the Joe Biden Presidential Disaster™, hapless Joe revoked a key permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, effectively killing the $8 billion project. Now, fast forward: As the Russian Army continues its pounding of Ukraine, skyrocketing crude oil prices continue their to devastate the families’ budgets across America.
And Biden’s response? To trot out his equally clueless Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to make an absolute fool out of himself, as he argues against rethinking Keystone’s demise.
During an appearance on MSNBC’s “11th Hour” on Wednesday, as reported by Daily Caller, Buttigieg told host Stephanie Ruhle the Biden administration doesn’t want to implement “Forever solutions” to “short-term problems” with respectThe pipeline.
Wait.
Setting aside the laugh-out-loud “short-term problems” nonsense for a sec — most of which is obscene in its indifference — what the hell is wrong with implementing permanent solutions to the permanent problemsBiden It was purposely designed.He also has a hellbent mission of destroying the American fossil fuel industry.
Remember Biden’s following “greatest hit,” when he was asked during a 2019 Democrat presidential primary debate if there would be “any place for fossils fuels, including coal and fracking in a Biden administration,” and his answer was flat-out “No”? Me, too.
Or that time in early 2020 when Biden was very clear: “We are going to get rid of fossil fuels“? That one is also a good memory. Let’s toss in Corn Pop’s pal’s longtime attack on the coal industry — in 2008, he declared “No coal plants here in America” — while we’re at it.
Let’s get to the bottom of it:
Biden’s War on Energy has been long in the making and now the chickens are coming home to roost. They are being picked off by the hapless Joe one at a time.
Anyway, Ruhle kicked off the festivities by not only agreeing with every absurdity that came out of Buttigieg’s mouth as he shilled for Biden; she “shockingly” asked leading questions throughout the “interview.” As transcribed by Daily Caller (emphasis, mine):
I would like to be able to continue on gasoline for another second. You’re absolutely right, Although the President cannot control the prices of gasoline, he is able to make some changes.. While Some strategic reserve matters can be releasedIt is amazing, considering how much information has been available. Only a small amount.
There are some things I could ask the president to authorize, although it’s controversial and has enormous environmental effects. Perhaps you could work something out with Iran.
Buttigieg’s response was ludicrous at best — and a potential strategic disaster at worst.
You see, that is what the president stated. There are many options available.
However, we must also We must not chase after immediate solutions for short-term problems. There are more tactical and strategic actions that will make a significant difference in the near future.Just like the strategy reserve. This is partly to be able to react to such situations.
President Obama There are policies in place that will help to cushion any future volatility in energy markets [um, huh?]By ensuring that the country has a rich and diverse energy supply.
“A diversified and homegrown energy base.” Please.
Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg: Buying oil from Iran is “on the table” pic.twitter.com/aNUNBPFHvH

Let’s get back to that Potential strategic catastrophe I mentioned.
After Biden pulled a hamstring while rushing to kill Keystone XL on Day One of his Oval Office Occupation, he begged Russia and OPEC to increase their output —and was promptly rebuffed by both.
So, now Buttigieg says “all options are on the table,” including buying oil from the mad mullahs in Tehran. It is crazy on so many levels.
Talking about the absurdity of America engaging Iran in any way related to American security, my colleague Jim Thompson reported that the Biden administration, which is informally managed by an administrator, is in negotiations with Iran. Russian diplomat, no less, and is “on the verge of giving Iran what it wants,” including “a world stage and normalizing terrorism by removing, among others, the Revolutionary Guard from the list of terrorist organizations.” What could possibly go wrong?
Yep, that’s the funniest — and potentially The most frightening — thing I’ve seen all day.
