Q-Tip Swab

 With all the talk about the soaring price of fuel – both gasoline and diesel – caused by a big lie fabricated from the lips and mind of President Joseph Robinette Biden, I thought it time to do some investigating.

 

That big lie from President Nitwit is that fuel costs are the result of Vladimir Putin.  Clearly, because he has no character and is a textbook narcissist, Biden likes to blame others for his shortcomings, and often does.

 

Biden’s false claim is that Putin has been driving up the obscene cost of crude oil because of his current war with Ukraine.  It is, in fact, rising like a Roman Candle because Biden cut off all domestic drilling thereby causing the United States to be reliant upon foreign oil.

 

Putin’s Russia has so much crude oil available that it is selling those excess barrels of crude to Iran, another country of bad guys, as well as China – the great polluter.

Q-tip swabs headed to Capitol Hill

 

Not unlike sports scores the numbers change daily, never seeming to decrease.  And each day, newspapers and television information programs gleefully publish the latest prices while adding the words, “Reaching a new record today…”

 

With curiosity I looked toward Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, who just recently – with a straight face – told Congress that “policies implemented under the Biden administration had no impact in the rising energy prices.” 

 

Once again, this guvment stooge blamed Vladimir Putin’s Ukraine invasion for our fuel price woes.  The good news is that Granholm is not in charge of anything else in America, like our health care system; the bad news is she believes the words coming out of her own mouth.

 

Next, I turned to Mayor Pete Buttigieg, our national Transportation Secretary.  As the Transportation Secretary, Mayor Pete oversees America’s highways, airports, and our road infrastructure.  This is a guy who I’ll wager never even rode a city bus.  But I digress.

 

Since Mayor Pete assumed office he has adopted twins, requiring extended family leave.  Upon his return to the Seat of Government after a significant absence from his critical duties he promptly accused critics of homophobia, of course.  You see, Mayor Pete is gay.

 

During this important time in both his private and public life, as well as a national time of supply chain turmoil, Pete’s nonappearance at his office exacerbated our shortages of goods and resources throughout our country.

 

Evidently these three masterminds – Biden, Granholm, and Buttigieg – put their collective heads together to arrive at a viable solution: Buy electric!

 

Electric vehicles (EVs) have been around for decades and have served society with only modest success.  In the 1960’s and ‘70’s, EVs were designed and built and sold primarily as city transportation.  Created á la golf cart style, they were promoted for use to quickly run to a bistro or the beach; on the other hand, they were not designed for long distance trips.

 

With restricted speeds and battery ranges, EVs never really took off inasmuch as that was the era of suburban building and subsequent population creep.

 

But today is a new day.  Those youngsters, who were indoctrinated into the new environmental movement, with scare tactics about melting glaciers and drowning polar bears, are now college graduates with grand ideas of using “renewable energy” in lieu of fossil fuels.

 

How do we eliminate fossil fuels from our lives?  Raise the price of everything – EVERYTHING – to “encourage” all Americans to buy EVs. 

 

This false narrative regarding the planet Earth being on the precipice of total destruction is utter nonsense.  Unfortunately, people world-wide have been brainwashed about our “dire” situation since at least 1970.

 

With the irreversible damage claims bubbling throughout the media and movies and within schools, this EV push has spread like wildfire.  And although the EV resurgence has become a neo-renaissance, they still have limited ranges.

 

Although the secret ingredient to making long-lasting batteries is lithium, America has a limited supply.  The obvious solution is to mine it where it lays – Afghanistan.  Remember Afghanistan?

 

On a personal level, I drive to and fro Florida pretty regularly.  The trip is roughly 1,000 miles, which I turn into a two-day trip.

 

In an electric vehicle whose range is 250 miles means that trip extends to at least four-days, plus motel rooms and recharging fees.  Suddenly that gas-free trip increases by more than $500; that’s not nearly as cost-effective as the Three Stooges would lead you to believe.

 

The bottom line, though, is who is feeling the brunt of the Biden-made crises?  Certainly not Biden, Granholm, or Buttigieg – they have limousines and drivers who touch the gas pumps and watch the dials spin like slot machines.

 

November elections are on the horizon, and that is a perfect time to send these guvment goofs the message that we are onto their sleazy tactics to modify our behaviors for a giant scam.

 

A red wave would help clean their ears out better than a Q-tip swab.
