Idiot in the Seat of President is doing, especially since he\u2019s the \u201cbeck and call girl\u201d of the Democraps these days. He just does whatever he\u2019s told to do and probably can\u2019t even tell you what he said during any of his pronouncements in the recent (or even distant) past.<\/p>\n<p>But in this case, he complains that the cost of fuel (gas, heat, truckers, etc.) is too high and prices should come down, and wants the oil industry (per the article) to \u201cpump more crude\u201d. Then he contradicts himself by canceling oil lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico and up in Alaska, per the article I posted above. He\u2019s even blaming poor old Putin for high gas prices, when it\u2019s his own doing and Putin was busy bombing Ukraine\u2019s infrastructure and doing his utmost to destroy Ukraine in general. (That isn&#8217;t working out well for Vlad.)<\/p>\n<p>To say that there is a disconnect here is a polite way to say that he has no idea what he\u2019s doing, and probably can\u2019t remember which side of the carpet he woke up on this morning.<\/p>\n<p>The classic reference comes from our old friend, Will Shakespeare: It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. (MacBeth, Act V, Scene 6) and therein lies the reference \u201clife\u2019s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage\u2026\u201d, which aptly describes our sitting president.<\/p>\n<p>How will it end? As all such stories do: with tears, and a journey. And we, the people, will see it through to journey\u2019s end. I know we can do it. We&#8217;re Americans, aren&#8217;t we?<\/p>\n<p>We must be patient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/05\/15\/canceling-federal-oil-lease-sales-exposes-bidens-fossil-fuel-malarkey\/ Well, Boys and Girls, Children of All Ages, I don\u2019t really have \u201cnewsy news\u201d to &hellip; <a title=\"Got Gas?
