From William Weir...Author, Journalist, Minister

Briefly. Gas prices got as low as $1.87 in February 2016 under Obama, holding steady around $2.30 until Trump took office. From there they rose steadily until October 2018, reaching a peak of almost $3.00. As the economy continued to flounder under Trump (2018 saw the worst year for the stock market since the 2008 housing crisis; the Fed lowered interest rates in 2019 for the first time since Bush was President to try to prevent a recession), prices fell slightly, holding around $2.65 until the p******c.

Once Trump mishandled the p******c and the country began shutting down, demand for fuel dropped and prices fell, reaching $1.93 in April 2020—almost as low as a year before Trump took office. Trump then stated that low gas prices (during a financial crisis) was bad for America. He pushed OPEC into a two year deal to slash production to drive up prices. (This is probably the only thing in his failed Presidency that he successfully accomplished.) Gas prices began to rise immediately and continued to rise until Biden took office.

Once Biden reopened the country, people started driving normally again and the global oil shortage Trump created drove prices up even faster. Prices continued to climb until Trump’s OPEC deal ended in May 2022, peaking at just over $5.00 in June. Then normal production resumed and prices began to fall again. Currently prices are hovering around $3.00 a gallon, about where they were at the end of 2018—the last time the economy was considered reasonably stable under Trump.

So long story short, Trump’s failed economy did lead to gas prices dipping before reaching a record high because of his OPEC deal, but thanks in part to record high domestic oil production under Biden, gas prices are back in line with where they were before the “Trump Slump” despite global inflation driving prices up on almost everything else.

So let’s adjust the numbers for global inflation. The $2.30 under Obama in 2016 would be $2.97 in today’s dollars. That $3.00 under Trump in 2018 would be $3.71 in today’s dollars. The $2.65 we averaged in 2019 would be $3.22 in today’s dollars. So adjusting for inflation, gas prices now under Biden are lower than they were before the p******c under Trump, and only slightly higher than they were in the final year of Obama’s Presidency.

Drilling leases run 10 to 15 years. Biden has stopped most new leases and nobody wants to invest as long as he is pulling the plug on future drilling. As the current leases expire and there are none to replace them, it will all go to hell. Supply will shrink and we will be dependent upon OPEC for oil. Good for us? No. Not at all. If not fixed, the SWHTF in about 5 - 6 years. And without f****l f**ls, you can't charge those stupid Ev's.

In 2020, I was cowering and very fearful of catching C***d. I was stashing my groceries in a garage for a couple of days so the v***s would die. Trump was running around without a mask and disregarding the good advise from real experts. I am just glad it's over. I recently got a booster C***d shot to protect myself on vacation.


Masks protected nobody. We know that. Make peace with your soul and stop being fearful!

I don't think James, Bragg and Willis thought too far ahead on this Trump attack. If Trump wins he shouldn't say a word about them but behind the scenes he should use the entire force of government to ruin each and everyone of them. They're corrupt and need to go. He can only serve one term so have at it. Make em suffer. I would.


Me too!!

That lily white liberal judge is a pussy. There's a reason most of these prosecutors are a certain type and in a certain political district. They are of the protected class with an entire jury pool of morons to pick from.


True, and there is only the appellate courts to fix things.

Excerpt:

"Often, distinguishing good faith proceedings from bad faith “witch hunts” is not a fact-based exercise, especially for the targets of investigations and among their supporters.

But the law and evidence help to elucidate some themes that lead any reasonable observer to categorically differentiate Navalny – and other victims of bona fide maltreatment – from Trump."
https://theconversation.com/trump-is-no-navalny-an... (show quote)


All we have to do is look at the similarity and parallels here; the use of the courts to make it appear legitimate as one party (candidate) uses the courts to eliminate their opposition. Oh, the claim is that WE apply the rule of law. Well the Russian courts and Putin make and have made the very same claim.

The we look at the cases individually and see that is not the t***h. in one case, a judge makes a summary judgement of fraud without even hearing the witnesses or the testimony of the alleged "victims," because they are not victims. Others in the very same business have spoken out defending how the real estate business works all over the country, but no matter to this judge. And then, the very same judge defies the constitution and hits Trump with an outrageous fine and places undo burden on Trump to try to prevent him from appealing the judges verdict. Rule of law???

Then there is the one where a woman from nearly 30 years ago makes an uncorroborated claim of rape in a department store , without evidence at all. When Trump denies it they claim he is "defaming" her. He says it didn't happen. They claim he is defaming her by denying it. No matter what the language, he has the right to deny it happened and declare her a liar. The contents of her book, which she is coincidentally now promoting, certainly supports Trump's claims about her. But no matter, if one cannot deny an accusation without being accused and convicted of defamation, then we have no freedom of speech. In fact, the one being defamed is Trump. But wasn't he denied his reverse defamation case by the courts???

But there is more, the cases of "Trump said this and that on a phone call, he said this or that and incited an i**********n." ALL hearsay blabber by those making outrageous interpretations of his words. Of course they delete the words which say just the opposite of what they claim he means; words like peacefully and patriotically. And, of course, the suppression of evidence which supports Trump's claims and not theirs; testimony of witnesses who contradict their chosen witnesses who weren't even there, but rather, just 'heard" from someone else what Trump did or didn't do.

And all brought to the court system during the year Trump is running, once again, for president.

oh, these cases and Nalvany cases are most certainly similar with the only difference being that Putin doesn't even need to do it; use the courts to get rid of an opponent. He's a supreme dictator, right!???? Or, maybe he isn't. Or maybe Biden is one, it just hasn't become clear to the people yet.

Either way. your article is bull.

Exactly. And as regards to C***d, Trump followed the advice of the experts, he got the v*****es in place faster than ever before, he took the v*****e, he let the states decide on their lock downs as required by the constitution, and he didn't panic like the dem's wanted to do.

Biden lost more to C***d in his term, WITH v*****es, and mandated v*****es like an authoritarian dictator.
