In this episode of “Biden Being Biden, DeSantis Being DeSantis”…
Inept Oval Office occupant kills one oil pipeline, and then talks of killing another while increasing inflation and gasoline prices. The governor of Florida suspends the state’s gas tax, providing $1 billion in relief to drivers feeling the pain at the pump. Biden being Biden, DeSantis being DeSantis.

Speaking to reporters at a gas station in Daytona Beach on Monday, DeSantis decried “inflationary policies out of Washington” for driving up consumer prices in general and in particular, gas — ahead of the holidays.
“The price of a Thanksgiving dinner is up over 20 percent just over last year. I think what’s most dramatic, because it affects most people in their daily lives, is gas prices going up.
“We think this is a huge problem for working families in Florida. Really it hits everybody, but it particularly hits blue-collar people, people on fixed income.”
DeSantis said the state could and would provide immediate relief for Floridians by suspending the gas tax, as reported by The Blaze, until prices come back down — which will happen precisely at half-past Biden.
“The average family over a five or six month period, you know, could save up to $200. There’s a whole bunch of things that go into the price of gas.
“There’s different taxes, federal, state, local level, we’re taking over 25 cents from Florida and we will basically zero that out for as long as we can and do over a billion dollars. That’s going to make a huge, huge deal.”
When writing about the Florida governor I’m often struck by how It this guy is — how much he understandsHow quickly he recovers fixing stuff — Contrasted with Biden. And that’s where Ron DeSantis dribbles. Chief executive Joe Biden wreaks Do not pretend to hold the throne.

Talk about the pretender in chief, Biden last week blamed — Biden Always blames — “anti-consumer behavior” — by the oil companies for rising gas prices, and called on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the possibility of oil company Collaborative work (my, Democrats love that word, don’t they?) Daily Wire reported on how the rising pump prices are driving the increase in fuel costs. Biden wrote to the FTC and said that, part of his statement was:
“[Gasoline] prices at the pump remain high, even though oil and gas companies’ costs are declining. Federal Trade Commission can examine whether criminal conduct at the pumps is costing families. You should immediately do this, I think. “
Here’s my favorite part:
“I do not accept hard-working Americans paying more for gas because of anti-competitive or otherwise potentially illegal conduct.
“I therefore ask that the Commission further examine what is happening with oil and gas markets, and that you bring all of the Commission’s tools to bear if you uncover any wrongdoing.”
This is a terrible idea. This is a total crock of crap.
NaturallyBiden is not just a politician. AcceptsAmericans who work hard pay more for the pumpsLovingAmericans who work hard pay more at the pump It’s true for all of us. “Fossil fuels, bad. Green energy, good.”
