Energy experts unload on Biden after latest gas price gaffe: 'An instinctive liar'

Thomas Catenacci / FOXBusiness

 

Energy policy experts slammed President Biden after he falsely stated Thursday that the average price of gasoline was $5 a gallon when he took office in January 2021.

"Because of the actions we’ve taken, gas prices are declining," Biden remarked at an event in Syracuse, New York. "That’s adding up to real savings for families. Today, the most common price of gas in America is $3.39 — down from over $5 when I took office."

However, the average price of gasoline nationwide was $2.39 a gallon on Jan. 25, 2021, roughly 48% of what Biden claimed it was, according to the Energy Information Administration. In addition, while some estimates show that the most common price of gas is currently around $3.39 per gallon, the average pump price in the U.S. ticked up to $3.76 a gallon on Friday, AAA data showed.

And the average price of gasoline surged past $5 a gallon for the first time ever in June, 17 months after Biden took office. Overall, gas prices are more than 57% higher than they were when the president took office.

 "The guy is an instinctive liar," Steve Milloy, a senior legal fellow at the Energy & Environment Legal Institute, told FOX Business. "It's very clear that gas prices were rock bottom when he became president, and it's very clear that his policies have sent gas prices up." Read more and see video here.

Battleground Nevada: It All Comes Down to This County That's Been Thrashed By Biden's Agenda

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

 

Nevada could be one of the states that Republicans pick up in 2022. Democrats have let this one slip away, with incumbent Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto in danger of losing her seat to Republican Adam Laxalt. The last string of polls has Laxalt either in the lead or trailing by two, but the most damning sign that Masto could be updating her resume soon is the liberal poll from Data for Progress showing Laxalt in the lead by one point. When Democratic polls can’t hide the danger, you know the situation is terrible, and the momentum is with the GOP in the final days of the 2022 elections.

How Senate Forecasts Have Moved Toward Republicans In The Final Stretch Before Election Day

Sara Dorn / Forbes

With under two weeks to go before the midterm election, a Republican-controlled congress is looking increasingly more likely as Democrats—hamstrung by President Joe Biden’s low approval ratings and record-breaking inflation—have struggled to reassure voters their party can right the economy.

Key Facts

Democrats have lost their strong lead against Republicans in the battle for control of the Senate over the past month, with the party’s chances at maintaining its slim majority in the upper chamber now at 54 in 100, down from 68 in 100 at the end of September, according to FiveThirtyEight, which calls the race a “dead heat.”

Other forecasts show the Senate competition is a toss-up–Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia predicts 49 seats that lean toward,are likely to be won by or solidly in the hands of each party, while Cook Political Report ranks 50 seats as either solidly or likely to be in control of each party.

The 2024 Race Is Already Underway

Kurt Schlichter  / Townhall Columnist / Opinion

The 2022 midterms are not yet over – get ready to savor the wailing and gnashing of teeth of broken, shattered libs! – but the GOP’s 2024 presidential race is already underway. Not officially, not openly, but we can see the candidates’ covert positioning. Soon it will be overt. Word on the street is that not long after the red wave hits, Donald Trump will announce he is seeking the Republican nomination, taking credit for some of the big midterm wins. He would love a quick and quiet coronation, but that’s not happening. The GOP primary fight is going to be epic, and if you think Ron DeSantis is not going to run, I have a bridge to sell you that Governor DeSantis rebuilt in record time during his massively successful Hurricane Ian response.

Last Sunday afternoon I got bored – you can only slap around so many Twitter pinko blue checks before it gets monotonous – and I decided to toss a match into a barrel of high-octane gasoline. I tweeted “Okay, let's do this thing. Who do you hardcore patriots want to see win the GOP 2024 nomination right this minute, knowing you can change your mind as the primary progresses...” Then I listed the poll choices and set it to run for two hours. I expected a few hundred results, and for the former president to come in ahead of the pack.
