I listen to the full, White House press briefing every single day. Regardless of who's in office. I have alot of respect for John Kirby, he's a decent person and he knows his stuff. Watching him today, speaking about President Biden's trip to the G-7, and not releasing details about the rest of the trip, including why they have canceled meetings, leads me to believe that something news grabbing is coming our way during that time and the President wants to be stateside when it happens. Is it a Hunter investigation issue? Is it debt deal related? Drastic event in Ukraine? I wouldn't be surprised if it's the Hunter stuff.
Why it matters. If something big were to happen with Hunter, it would dominate the media with negative coverage and increased scrutiny on the President's possible involvement. Being underwater in the news would give him zero audience willing to hear him on the debt ceiling. That gives Republicans the leverage. Which leads to Biden concessions or the threat of a government shutdown as possible outcomes. News of a failed deal will crash the markets. Temporarily, but still.
Pic for attention.
Economics.
Economy=Tire
Tires (Economy) can easily pop if they are over inflated. It takes around 200psi (Joe Biden) to pop a tire. You have to use compressed air (free money) to get the job done, but it can happen. When driving(printing more on top of the free money), over inflated tires can pop as well, causing a catastrophic blowout.
This morning, inflation in the United States is higher than it has ever been in my lifetime. It must really take some effort to grab the strongest economy in world history and run it into the ground. Balloons pop. Please consider liking Nate Ross in 2024 .
Energy.
Seven things the federal government can do to reduce or slow the increase of oil prices that does NOT include tapping our Strategic Petroleum Reserves.
Temporarily make public transportation "free". Yes, I know nothing is free, but increased ride sharing does lower overall fuel consumption.
Lift all tolls on roadways leading to increased fuel efficiency through straightened routes, less idling in traffic, fewer accidents.
Lift the gas tax. This will immediately drop the price of fuel. Temporarily, but that's all we need.
Reduce debt payments or interest on those payments to countries who pump oil to us.
Put a huge wind turbine outside of the White House and let the wind carry them off.
Reverse the Biden day one restrictions. Today. Words matter, signals shift markets.
Lift permit and other regulatory requirements on new leases in exchange for lower cost resupply of our Strategic Petroleum Reserves.
Remember, Strategic Petroleum Reserves are just that. The results of our current "strategy" are obvious. Reserves are intended to support us in events such as natural disaster, American wartime and select uncontrollable variables. We are about to withdraw the largest amout of oil ever released. This includes times of war, hurricanes, fire and pandemic. What if America became engaged in war? Our enemies know exactly how long we can self sustain. Hurricane season is here. Where will we turn once a REAL American emergency crisis happens? We need energy balance. We need a way to integrate new possibilities with current and established methods. Not a slamming of the door on what built this nation and actively sustains us.
I would appreciate you considering joining Nate Ross in 2024
"They gave you thousands of dollars in stimulus money because it was someone else's money tomorrow. They won't release you from a 25-cent gas tax because it is their money today. Think about that."

Let's put the White House Press Secretary and any members of any administration UNDER OATH if they are to give information to the PRESS OR PUBLIC. The time of force feeding us garbage needs to end. Every other person in the country can be placed under oath. Why not the puppets they parade around? The issues they discuss are of the highest importance. Both sides of the aisle. It's time for forced accountability. No more chances. It only gets harder to reverse the longer we accept it. Please like the page.
Strategy. Just because it happens here doesn't mean it's in your best interest. I love oil. And until we have something that checks all the boxes to replace it, we won't. With that being said, President Biden announced the release of 30 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves during SOTU. It will not "lower" gas prices. At best, it will marginally slow its immediate increase. It was just something to talk about during the speech to please people who don't understand economics or basic math. This oil will cost more to replace. This oil is available here. Our oil keeps the economy moving. We are currently taking in a half-million barrels of Russian oil per day. So, that thirty million barrels is 2 months' worth of imports from a country we are watching invade a sovereign nation. Funding their war now and paying them again when we restock reserves. Reserves that are already down to about 80%. No oil should be released from the reserves right now. We are experiencing self-inflicted energy issues, not an emergency. Releasing this meager amount during SOTU was just a new shiny distraction. Don't tap the reserves, drop the gas tax. Think about it. And like Nate Ross in 2024

Bill Clinton IS the one who didn't kill Bin Laden and Bill Clinton IS the reason Ukraine gave up their nukes. The negligence of yesterday lives on today. Like Nate Ross in 2024
As your President, I will fully support the Sex Mandate. Like Nate Ross in 2024 and govern yourselves accordingly.
