Vladimir Putin is making Joe Biden look like a fool, and the American people are paying the ultimate price for it.
That’s right – while Putin rolls over Ukraine, Biden is sending the price at the pumps skyrocketing with sanctions on Russian oil. Of course that wouldn’t have been a problem if we have our own sources. Congressman Dan Crenshaw made the point perfectly.
We import 595,000 barrels of oil per day from Russia.
The Keystone XL pipeline would have produced 830,000 barrels per day.
Relying on Russian oil is a choice. And it’s a stupid one.

That’s not all – Russia won’t nearly feel the pain we will.
If you’re not gonna re-open domestic energy production—and they won’t, no chance in hell—sanctioning Russian energy only hurts us. Otherwise, we’re begging the Saudis to save our asses again.

Elections have consequences – and Americans will be hurting for a long time because of the 2020 election.
