Conservative group partners with gas stations to highlight 'Biden's war on American energy': Here's how

The national average gas price when President Biden took office was $2.38 per gallon. Today it is $3.59

On Monday, Americans for Prosperity (AFP) will host the first of a series of events that will roll back gas prices from coast to coast "to get a pre-Bidenomics break at the pump." More than 20 gas stations will participate throughout this week, temporarily reducing prices to as low as $2.38 per gallon – near the average price per gallon of gas on the day President Biden assumed office.

"Biden’s war on American energy has had disastrous results and Americans are reeling from high gas prices going into the summer," said Akash Chougule, AFP vice president of government affairs.

"From shutting down the Keystone Pipeline to banning energy leases on federal land, Joe Biden’s top-down policies have stifled our country’s energy resources and made even the things like a family road trip more expensive," Chougule said in a statement. "This week, we are spotlighting what gas prices could be with policies that unleash our country’s energy potential."

Lies Told...Truths Not Accepted

“The Biden administration's policy toward Israel and around the world is to punish our allies and boost our enemies.” - Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX)

It's official...Joe Biden has proven himself to be a traitor to Israel on par with that of his puppet master Barack Obama. Two men interchangeable now working in tandem it seems...two men whose past and present actions have exposed which side they're really on in regards to any and everything Israel.

Two men with overlapping policies...dangerous anti-Israel policies...with Biden now trying to stop Israel from finishing its intended mission...as in the total elimination of Hamas from Gaza. And with Biden channeling his inner Obama, not only has he delayed the entirety of Congress' approved arms shipments* to Israel, but he has withheld from Netanyahu key intelligence information pertaining to the exact locations of Hamas' leadership. And Biden is doing so to cater to the whims of the anti-Israel/ antisemitic sorts here at home in hopes of garnering their political favor come November's election.

Remember, Obama's inner hatred towards Israel and the Jewish people can be summed up in this original sentence from his book “The Audacity of Hope”...that is before editing took place...as in, “I will stand with the muslims if the politics winds shift in an ugly direction.” And Biden's stated “unwavering support” for Israel...said soon after Hamas' October 7th attack on Israeli civilians...were obviously words spoken with fingers crossed behind his back. And why...because while Obama knew he'd always get a second term in office courtesy of his having played the “race card” throughout his first term thus solidifying for himself a second term, Joe Biden...even with Obama pulling his strings...has never been assured of that...voter “irregularities” not withstanding. And Obama knows that when Biden dares to go “off script” and speaks for himself, that things not meant for public consumption suddenly become newsworthy...as has recently happened.

Time for Obama to pull Biden's strings tighter, especially after his laying down “red lines” to Netanyahu...“red lines” telling BiBi that he dare not cross into Rafah to “take out” what remains of Hamas. And so here I say to Biden, how dare you tell the duly-elected leader of a sovereign nation what can or cannot be done in a time of war. Remember Biden...like Obama...is no friend to Israel*...he never was and he never will be. And  this all came to a head roughly two weeks ago when the U.S. State Department informed Congress that it intended to bypass laws that bar the U.S. from selling weapons to nations that boycott Israel. In fact, in the past Biden has waived these sanctions, but now he says they'll be extended through April 30, 2025.

Guess Biden forgets that he probably won't be in office come 2025...voter “irregularities” again not with standing.

So what exactly would these waivers accomplish? Let's start with “aiding and abetting” our ally Israel's enemies as said waivers would allow U.S. weapons to be sent to nations that not only support and work closely with Hamas, but with other Iranian proxies as well. Dubious indeed for the fact is that these waivers were announced just one day before Biden “threatened” and then followed through the withholding of the aforementioned, Congress approved, weapons delivery to Israel. And Biden must be called to task...in fact some have already called for his impeachment***...for these actions reek of yet another “quid pro quo”...as in “we'll give you this only if you give us that”...type of scenario. How so...because Biden is “leveraging” already approved U.S. dollars against Israel's intended military actions in Rafah...actions that might...or might not...entail heavy “collateral damage.”

But I see Biden's actions actually bordering on, if not crossing over, into treason. How so...because by his withholding promised “offensive aid” to Israel, Biden is not only “aiding and abetting” Israel's enemies but America's enemies as well. Remember, while Hamas is but one of Iran's proxy armies that use Iranian monies and equipment in their terrorist attacks, also remember that Iran is an enemy of the U.S., and that Hamas remains on the “U.S. Terrorist Watch List.”

In fact, in a recent CNN interview while Biden did say that Israel would continue to see U.S. support for its “defensive systems”...as in the “Iron Dome”...he quickly added the words, “If they [meaning Israel] go into Rafah, I'm not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities, that deal with that problem.” But forgotten by Biden is that the weapons and especially the bombs he's now withholding from Israel...including another 1,800 U.S. made 2,000-pound “heavy” bombs, and 1,700 U.S, made 500-pound bombs, plus lesser charged bombs...bombs more adaptable to lessening “collateral damage”...are the very bombs that Israel has been using in Gaza since their retaliatory strike on Hamas began. Simply, Biden is only condemning said bombs use now because of the growing pro-Hamas/pro Palestinian protests here at home which might help garner him some votes.

But no matter for Israel has stockpiled enough of these “heavy bombs” to use in Rafah, it's the smaller diameter bombs...aka “precision bombs” used more so for “targeted kills”...that Israel needed more of if “collateral damage” was to be kept to a minimum. So Joe Biden's dancing on Obama's pulled stings has actually forced Israel into using the larger bombs, thus allowing Biden to not only blame Israel for the increase in civilian deaths, but to also garner votes...a cleverly crafted move indeed.

And yet Biden remains a foolish man for this war never focused on “precision” based “targeted kills” for that scenario never ends wars in fact, at times, it starts or drags out wars. Israel must do whatever it takes as they push deeper into Rafah, for the fact remains that with northern Gaza remaining basically “ungoverned” with sporadic fighting continuing, remnants of Hamas have begun to strike out against Israel again. In fact, just before Mother's Day, a small faction of Hamas operatives launched a rocket into the middle of a children's playground in Be'er Sheva, Israel. And while, thankfully, no children were killed, this act plus recently released IDF drone footage showing Hamas operatives launching attacks on Israel from a UN Works and Relief Agency warehouse while using official UN vehicles for transport into Gaza...clearly shows why Hamas must be eradicated in full for only with Hamas' total defeat will Israeli's be able to live in what passes for a mere semblance of “normalcy,” let alone with a sense of “security.”

But the question remaining is, how can “normalcy” or “security” return to Israel when the very country she thought was her ally is openly stabbing her in the back. And proof of this can be seen when Biden, just a week or so ago, sent an unclassified report to Congress on Israel's, what he called, “incursion into Gaza.”

An “incursion” is usually referred to as a limited “hostile entrance” into a territory...an unexpected “raid” if you will. But Israel did not “raid” Gaza...Israel openly and rightfully declared war on Hamas and all its bases of operation in Gaza, which now encompasses Gaza itself along with its Hamas supporting populace...a populace who have yet to condemn Hamas or their barbaric October 7th attack on what were defenseless Israeli civilians...an savage attack specifically targeting women, babies, and young children.

But what exactly was in the report...a report deliberately held back until Biden could shed phony crocodile tears in a televised speech given on “Holocaust Remembrance Day?” Simply, a twisting of truth to aid Biden in his quest for the anti-Israel/pro-Hamas vote. Stating that Israel, “likely used U.S.-made arms to inflict a higher number of civilian casualties in Gaza than is broadly deemed acceptable”...pray tell what number of civilian casualties is mitigated to be acceptable in a time of rightfully declared war...a war against those who committed barbaric, savage, and inhumane acts...war crimes plain and simple.

Also, stated in the report was that, “the State Department found that it is reasonable to assess that there are possible violations with hundreds of investigations open.” Investigations into what, as mere common sense dictates that sometimes “an eye for an eye” does indeed become the very solution to a problem. Also, in regards to the war Israel now finds herself in, if those siding with Hamas and their Palestinian supporters truly did not want casualties... if they were really concerned about what surely would be a mounting civilian death toll...Hamas should not have provoked Israel...the one country most know would rightfully respond ten-fold to their having been attacked.

Simply, the ones needing investigation are the traitors within our government's ranks who dared to questions our ally Israel's actions. Guess these paper pushing, leftist aligned, bureaucrats and politicians still don't grasp the meaning of the words “Never Again.”

And while this report does not say that Israel has violated any U.S. weapons policy or international humanitarian law...the very nature and timing of the report's release is what's most telling. How so...because the report's release just happened to coincide with the ongoing increase in pro-Hamas/pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel, and anti-American protests here in the U.S...protests whose partakers cry over the overinflated numbers of Palestinian lives lost.

Remember publicity, even negative publicity, in today's America equates more times than not as votes garnered along “blue party lines,” especially when numbers are deliberately manipulated to help push forward ones chosen cause.

Forgotten by these folks is the fact that in war innocent people die...the very nature of war always sees innocent blood being shed. But what not to be cried over is numbers being manipulated to help push forward a cause based upon lies. Simply, the number of (anything but) innocent Palestinian lives lost due to Israeli bombings has been overinflated two-fold. In fact...and surprisingly it's the United Nations...the organization who detests Israel the most...specifically the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA)...who recently revised and lowered its Palestinian death count by half...including the number of women and children killed in the seven-months since Hamas started its war with Israel.

So much for Hamas’ death toll numbers...numbers continuously disputed by Israel as said numbers came mostly from the Hamas controlled “Gaza Ministry of Health”...numbers taken as truth by both Biden and the anti-Israel sorts who blindly accept the word of Hamas over that of our ally Israel.

“We will fight with our fingernails if necessary.”                   - Benjamin Netanyahu. May 9, 2024 

The Israel/Hamas War will eventually end, for war itself begins and ends in its own dictated time. However, I have a suggestion that might help end this war sooner rather than later, and I'll start by saying that those in Israel calling for Netanyahu's resignation for not having secured all the hostages release, to please wake up to the fact that few if any hostages are still alive.

It's my belief that most were killed soon after Israel's entry into Gaza, and that's why Hamas has not surrendered or even agreed to another ceasefire as the hostages, to them, were always but bargaining chips...bargaining chips now gone...bargaining chips likely used as “human shields” to protect Hamas' own miserable lives. Hamas never intended to release all the hostages for to do so would show weakness and vulnerability on their part...not something genocidal terrorists want as their calling card.

Netanyahu knows this as likely as do most not personally involved, an unfortunate reality that the families of those taken still have trouble facing. BiBi Netanyahu made a decision to save his country and its multitude of people, and while we cry for the hostages now likely lost, imagine instead having to cry for the entire nation of Israel and the sum of her people lost.

Simply, Israel must end this war by any means possible, and it's time for...I believe...Biden and Obama's instigators in Israel to stop fueling the pain hostage families feel. The longer Israel has roadblocks thrown in its path to victory, the more the death toll rises with peace moving further and further away. And whether some want to accept it or not the only ones then left standing will be Biden, Obama, Iran, and the indoctrinated folks who relish and feed on hate. Case closed. __________________________________________________________

* As I was writing this article Biden approved a “possible transfer” ...note the word "possible" of $700 million in tank ammunition, $500 million in tactical vehicles and $60 million in mortar rounds, minus Congress' approved 1,800 U.S. made 2,000-pound “heavy” bombs; 1,700 U.S, made 500-pound bombs; plus lesser charged bombs including “precision bombs” which would help keep “collateral damage” to a minimum.

*** Amongst those calling for Biden's impeachment for refusing to send certain promised arms to Israel by soliciting a “quid pro quo” with Israel, is U.S. Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) who filed articles of impeachment (HR 1220) on May 13, 2024 accusing Biden of “abusing his authority by leveraging vital military aid for policy changes.”

A Question With An Obvious Answer

My Opinion...

Joe Biden Comes Up With New Plan to Gain Back Black Voters

Sarah Arnold / Townhall Tipsheet

President Joe Biden has come up with a new plan to gain back the votes of Black Americans as polls reveal he is losing ground with them. 

During Biden’s visit to the National Museum of African American History and Culture on Friday, the president announced a new way to bolster votes he desperately needs to secure the 2024 election. 

The Department of Justice unveiled a proposal to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III. If approved, this would reduce federal penalties related to marijuana possession. 

The new change comes at a crucial time for Biden’s re-election chances. With the president trailing behind former President Donald Trump, the turnout of Black voters is  crucial  for Biden to secure another four years in office. 

However, New York Times White House correspondent Zolan Kanno-Youngs claimed that Biden’s effort to reschedule marijuana to reduce criminal punishment will not be enough to secure him enough votes from Black Americans.
