    Is: War Through Weakness ...this seems the path we must endure with our fraudulently elected President, Biden.

    The following link is satire, of course, ...err kinda of course, because what makes it funny is that it wouldn't be that much of a surprise if such an action were true considering our current leadership.

    Weakness? We're much stronger under a sane Bien than an insane Trump. In addiction we have NATO back together in spite of Trump's efforts to trash it.

    For the Christian it is peace in persecution. When we are weak, God is strong.

    The observation of humanity.

    Jeremiah 29:4-14
    “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare. For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are among you deceive you, and do not listen to the dreams that they dream, for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you in my name; I did not send them, declares the Lord. “For thus says the Lord: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.

    A point is that the Biden administration is eating crow on destroying our energy independence and the necessity is so obvious now that they are under a lot pressure to stop buying oil from Russia and Iran and to pick back up production here. - which would be the "sane" thing to do.

    They aren’t eating crow, they are doubling down. Sec of Trans Buttijeg says to buy an electric car. Pski says nothing they’ve done has effected the price of gas.

    Thry will never admit to policy failure and change course. Best hope is 2022 and 2024.

    peace to you

    Well, a couple hours ago I put $75 dollars worth of gas in my Jeep. I hear it is very likely that cost could almost double in a very short time so let them try to double-down when that pressure hits of when people start screaming about it and a vast majority start criticizing everything the Biden administration does and takes sides against it.

    They're going to have to say, "Trump was right!" :D:Wink.

    I doubt they could force those words out of their mouths.

    The WH is putting out demonstrably false info on oil production and prices, among other things. The big question is how many Dems will embrace this admin this year?

    There is a pivot going on right now to use the Ukraine invasion as the reason for higher gas prices. They refuse to admit shutting down our own production has caused any effect on prices.

    I think most people have already blamed this admin, thus the low poll numbers, which are probably lower than reported.

    peace to you

    Exactly, Biden is going to stop Russian oil imports and is trying to warn, set the narrative that the hard times ahead with high oil prices are all Putin's fault. The real fault is Biden's incompetence that led to undoing our energy independence. = weakness.

    Biden is now making statements that we need to be energy independent like out of Trump's playbook but in the next breath says this should speed green energy. That fool would let us sink as a country just to stick to his radical liberal green energy agenda.

    I think the Biden administration is seriously underestimating the backlash coming their way when the hardship of our (unnecessary) energy shortage hits home. When when faced with the situation where he will be pitting economical disaster against having to back off this Liberal Green Energy agenda I still think he is going to end up eat crow and then be forced to do like Trump tried to teach the Left about building up our economy by stepping up US oil production. = America First.

    I truly doubt the Pres is getting accurate info from the people around him. There are times when he seems clueless about major policy push within various departments.

    The folks around him a clearly isolating him from tough questions.

    peace to you

    Dems like John Kerry obviously miss the simple logic of the bigger picture of how the threat of nuclear bomb fallout would affect climate change and the green environment compared to the threat of fuel emissions and while doing so the Russians and Iran keep getting rich off of oil while we are expected to adopt policies to do without oil making us grow weaker, …yes, our current leaders are morons!

    I saw one of our states senators on TV yesterday, Sen Warnock, saying gas prices and inflation are the fault of Republicans for not capping the profits of oil companies.

    Full blown Communism is now a clear and present danger, not from Russia, but from the Democrat party.
