I always get so emotional reading about the Civil War. It sounds silly, but there's something deeply moving when you read testimony from Union soldiers and Confederates about how scared they were, how they admired the other side for different reasons at different times, and how so often there were glimmers of reconciliation and mutual respect. Take for example the awful death of Union Major General Philip Kearny. Kearny tried to escape oncoming Confederates but was shot in the back and killed instantly. Confederate Major General A.P. Hill, who knew Kearny prior to the Civil War, heard the gunfire and when he saw it was Kearny who was slain, mourned him. "Poor Kearny! He deserved a better fate than to die in the mud." Robert E Lee then called for a truce so that Kearny's body could be brought back to Union lines. Or take the Hancock-Armistead friendship. How hard it must have been for both sides is an understatement.

Same gas prices, no stickers. Funny how the outrage only works in one direction.

What Biden did to jack up gas prices: He waged a deliberate war on U.S. fossil fuel production and infrastructure from day one. Paused new federal oil/gas leases, canceled Keystone XL pipeline (killing jobs and supply routes), pushed aggressive EPA regs and “net zero” mandates that scared investment, slow-walked permits, and cheered high energy prices as part of the “transition.” This tightened domestic supply when demand was roaring back post-COVID. U.S. production recovered to records later thanks to private industry and prior leases, but the early hostility and uncertainty added a premium. Refinery capacity didn’t expand, and policy signals favored green dreams over reliable supply. Why gas skyrocketed GLOBALLY right after Putin invaded Ukraine: Because Russia is a top oil/gas exporter. The invasion + Western sanctions disrupted massive Russian supply flows to Europe and world markets. Oil and nat gas prices spiked worldwide from fear of shortages—supply shock on top of already tight post-COVID markets. Europe scrambled for U.S. LNG and alternatives, bidding up prices everywhere. It wasn’t some U.S.-only thing; it was a global energy crisis triggered by Putin’s war. Biden’s team tried to blame it all on that while downplaying their own pre-invasion restrictions. Bottom line: Biden’s anti-drill policies made America (and the world) more vulnerable to Putin’s bullshit. Global events hit hard, but weak domestic policy amplified the pain at the pump. No conspiracy—just bad priorities and reality.

@JerryCoog @JeremyJBelcher @JimBreuer Give me a clear and concise answer. What did Biden do to increase gas prices and why did gas happen to skyrocket GLOBALLY right after Putin invaded Ukraine? I’ll wait here.

Partially true, with important nuances and context—especially on “drilled more.” Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and other sources show mixed results across the claims when comparing the Biden administration (2021–early 2025) to the prior Trump administration (2017–2021). Production and trade trends largely continued long-term shale-driven growth, with lags from permitting, global events (e.g., COVID-19 crash in 2020, Russia-Ukraine war), efficiency gains, and private industry decisions playing bigger roles than presidential policies alone. Drilling (Active Rigs/Wells) False or misleading. Fewer rigs operated on average under Biden. • Baker Hughes rig count data: Biden averaged ~500 oil rigs vs. ~666 under Trump (and higher under Obama). Rig counts dropped sharply in 2020 due to COVID but recovered somewhat under Biden without exceeding prior peaks. • Production rose despite fewer rigs due to massive efficiency gains (more output per rig/well via better tech/fracking). New leases/permits don’t instantly translate to drilling (often 1–several years lag). Biden approved many permits on Trump-era leases. Production (“Drilled more” often implies this) True for overall levels and records. U.S. crude oil production hit new highs under Biden. • Annual averages (EIA, thousand barrels per day): • Trump years: Rose pre-COVID (e.g., ~11M in 2018–2019 peaks) but averaged lower overall due to 2020 crash (~11.3M in 2020). • Biden: Recovered and surpassed, with 2023–2025 setting records (~12.9M in 2023, ~13.2M in 2024, ~13.6M in 2025). • Production ended higher under Biden than at the start (and higher than under Trump). Both administrations saw growth from shale tech; Biden benefited from prior leases. Refining Largely true for throughput; capacity stable. • Refinery utilization and inputs rose with higher production and post-COVID demand recovery. U.S. operable capacity stayed flat (~18.4 million b/cd as of 2025), with high utilization rates (often 85–93%+). No major new builds, but throughput increased to process more domestic crude. Exports True. Record highs under Biden, continuing the trend of U.S. becoming a major exporter. • Total petroleum exports rose significantly (e.g., crude + products often >9–12M b/d in recent years). U.S. became a net petroleum exporter around 2020 and expanded that (driven by shale output and global demand, including Europe post-2022). Imports True overall (net lower dependence). • Crude imports continued declining long-term trend as domestic output rose (U.S. still a net crude importer but less so; heavy crude for refining). Total petroleum net imports fell; U.S. ran large net exports of petroleum products. Imports hit lows in recent data. Key caveats: Presidents influence leasing/permitting/regulations, but oil markets, tech, prices, and private investment drive most output. Production was already surging pre-Trump due to the shale revolution. Biden’s term saw record output despite some federal leasing pauses (later blocked or offset). Trump’s first term saw pre-COVID growth but a sharp 2020 drop. In short: Higher production, refining throughput, exports, and lower relative imports under Biden—yes. But not more drilling (fewer rigs), and trends reflect industry momentum more than one administration. For latest weekly/monthly details, check EIA.gov directly.

@JerryCoog @JimBreuer We drilled more during the Biden administration than the previous administration. We refined more during the Biden administration… We exported more… We imported less… It’s like fact, logic, reason and common fucking sense are anathema to MAGA.

More waste… I’m not sure who told Donald Trump painting the Reflecting Pool was a good idea, because it will need to be recoated every few years. As a pool owner, I can tell you paint doesn’t last like hard surfaces. The existing granite lasted a lifetime and should have just been repaired as needed, not coated over.
