Gas prices are high because of profiteering from oil companies and obstructionist tactics from Republicans. The biggest proof of this is the inability of the GOP to propose any solution to the problem themselves. #fridaymorning
1) Fossil Fuels are not infinite. They come from remains of plants and animals that died MILLIONS of years ago. That is science. Since the belief of many Christians is that the Earth is only 5000 years old, makes sense they think fossil fuels just....appear!
2) The Keystone XL pipeline was never opened so stop saying closing it was the problem. BTW, Canada still sends tar sands oil by rail so...
3) We can all agree that the higher gas prices hurts President Biden politically (because of ignorance, he doesnt control it) and oil companies make BILLIONS in profit from higher prices. WHY would Biden want higher prices since there is ZERO benefit for him?
4) There were no Democrats running around like 5 year olds putting stickers of Bush on gas pumps in 2008...despite the fact that the Bush family actually IS in the oil business...so spare me on your fake outrage. Work to solve the problem and understand renewables IS inevitable

If you are an American and would like to be actually INFORMED then keep reading. If you would like to remain ignorant then Fox News is available and move on:
Here are the FACTS about oil companies and gas prices:
"Between 2011 and 2020, the oil and gas industry failed to use more than 20 million acres of approved onshore federal leases. These leases were terminated, expired, or relinquished without ever going into production. " This is CONFIRMED by the Bureau of Land Management.
Unlike the GOP, I will not pull a Trump and hit you with "some people are saying" or "I saw on tv once". Here is the article for your education:

Mayra Flores boggles my mind. She represents areas that should despise Trump but she rode his support to her position
1) Mexican descent: He called them rapists and murderers. He dropped the amount of allowable LEGAL immigrants, and instituted a weath test to prove u had money
2) Mayra is a woman and the GOP along with Trump have made it clear she has NO right to decide what happens with her body. Raped by a stranger? Dad? TOUGH! Pregnant? TOUGH! SMH
3) She says she loves God. Maybe THAT is why she felt she must be GOP? But...why can she not see they SAY Christian most and live Christian the LEAST?

I read about Brian Ulrich today. He is a member of the "Oath Keepers". He admits to seditious conspiracy, to having weapons at the Mayflower Hotel, and wanting to overturn the results of the election by force. He was crying. Why do I bring this up? Well here we go:
Without accountability for the ringleader and the members of Congress that fanned the flames, it simply looks like the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, blah blah blah all woke up January 6th and decided all at the same time to attack the capitol with coordinated precision.
They cry at trial. They take plea frals, the agree to cooperate. I truly believe their tears come from the realization they were manipulated. They will go down as criminals for an attempted coup as their leader attempts to run for President again!? Who are we if we allow this!?

There are many issues that Republicans use as slogans when they run for office because they are too complicated for a Republican voter to understand. Donald Trump is proving every day the average GOP voter cannot handle complex issues. He made everything color by numbers. Like:
1) Donald Trump says you either love the police of hate the police.
Republicans come out in droves with the #BackTheBlue hashtag and amplify the #DefundThePolice hashtag. The issue? Not that simple. You CAN support police officers and demand an end to police corruption and abuse.
2) Donald Trump says the borders are wide open!
Forgetting the ludicrous "Mexico will pay for it" thing, the border is supported by BOTH parties. Trump wants areas that are already patrolled by the Border Patrol, covered by natural barriers, and owned by private citizens taken

If you vote @GOP and do not like being lied to, then wake up and smell the coffee people because here is #truth :
1) Politicians like @laurenboebert and @Jim_Jordan keep telling you Joe Biden controls gas prices. But they are up GLOBALLY, not just domestically. Image
2) The party u voted for because u believe in them has people like @SenTedCruz that is CONFIRMED to gone to Cancun when a winter storm left Texans exposed to the elements. People DIED to include a 10 year old. The politician seen MOST during that time? Democrat @BetoORourke
3) When #COVID19 reared its ugly head, the @GOP had a chance to show competence under Trump. Instead, they claimed it was like flu, would go away in a couple months, and told governors sounding the alarm to:

Now that #MarjorieTaylorGreene is gone I want to post my poem #BreathlessRegret. A reminder I have seen the fear in the eyes of those she led to their deaths with her lies:
I will tell you the thing I will never forget.
Watching them die in breathless regret.
Clinging to sheets as if it contained their soul.
Begging the disease to please let them go.

Listening to science a moment too late.
Allowing the misinformed to determine their fate.
The oxygen fails, the body goes next.
We look on as they scream to God "not yet!"
The caregiver forever changes at the head of your bed.
From saving your life, to the hand on your head.
You imagined death in a room full of love.
But instead human touch comes from behind a glove.
