America, once again your president is trying to pull the wool over your eyes. He’s blaming high gas and fuel prices on Putin. Meanwhile, that has been happening almost since day one, when he canceled plans for the Keystone XL pipeline, halted exploration drilling and stopped selling leases. Yes, there are leases that aren’t being used mostly because of Biden’s red tape. And why would the oil companies want to waste their time and money when Biden will pull the plug whenever he gets a whim? This in turn is also trickling down to the prices of pretty much everything you buy.

Another trick that was pulled earlier this month was the passing of a $1.5 trillion omnibus bill, finalized at 1:30 a.m. and sent for a vote at almost 3 a.m. Almost all members of Congress were taken off guard until the following morning, when they were told the vote was to be held that afternoon. This bill is almost 3,000 pages, and 90% of the members never even had a chance to read it for omissions, changes, etc. This is how this administration works. Not to mention that this bill includes nearly $9.7 billion for their pet projects.

Any member of Congress who doesn’t read a bill from front to back has no business voting on it. All of this shady stuff needs to be revealed to the voters.

And illegal immigrants shutting down bridges in New York City because they want unemployment benefits is also bull. Take the blinders off, America.
