It's coming. Gas prices are already up $.40 cents a gallon. Most Hoggers are elderly and on fixed incomes. E******ns have consequences and they will soon see their discretionary income dry up. Forget emotions, and think practically, it's always the Democrats that beat on the poor, middle class and elderly. They talk up a good BS storm, but always screw the minorities, poor, and middle class. They're opening the borders again. That hurts American minority workers and the like. As long as they look compassionate to the world, they're ok with that. The Green Deal is one of the biggest h**xes to ever be attempted on the world. I will not be responding to the Dem Kool Aid drinkers.

Trump and the trumpettes/trumpublicans are by far the biggest h**x. Congrats.

I am a Pub who didn't drink the trump-kool aid and dislike the Pubs who continue to destroy the Pub party.

Since when did congress set gas prices? They don't. Get real Gasman... get real. Give a quick read:

Gasman will argue Pipe Line, Drilling in protected lands, he will roll in the floor with gas pains and will insist on Farting Far-Right, Hot-Air, and Pungent-gas. People do not inhale and swallow his rancid tallow.

Government policies indirectly affect prices. It's not complicated. Obama was against f****l f**ls and we had $4 gas. Your mentality indicates we should still be using horse and buggies.

Well said.

People will be traveling more freely as v******tions are completed; demand vs supply is the biggest factor in pricing!

We’ve had a $.25/gallon increase here, which takes us back to the prices from about a year ago.

Gasman is not onboard to work toward solutions together.

Yep: "They're opening the borders again. That hurts American minority workers and the like."

In fact, one could argue that the true overriding issue for the Democrat Party arises from its political future at stake in uncontrolled migration of foreigners. One report found that 70 percent of the offspring of i*****l m*****ts v**e for the Democrat Party.

Hence, the party has every interest in minimizing the enforcement of the Immigration and Nationality Act which regulates both legal immigration and illegal migration.

The Democrats hide their underlying motive force in unfettered illegal migration with sloganeering. For example, they like to spout that "America is a nation of immigrants." This falsity lumps illegal migration with legal immigration.

A legal immigrant has followed the law and gone through the process to gain legal residency in the U.S.

An i*****l m*****t has broken the law by crossing the U.S.-Mexico border to enter the U.S. without permission or authorization.

Further, when an individual becomes born on American soil, he or she becomes a citizen, not an immigrant.

Serving party interests, Biden has already begun dismantling the policies that the former President put in place to control and regulate the flow of both activities.

Biden also proposes to grant amnesty to millions of i*****l m*****ts, numbering between 11 and 20 million. These lawbreakers take jobs that citizens could fill (but not for coolie wages). As well, these lawbreakers hold down wages for working-class citizens.

Biden obviously lacks the political testicles to follow in the footsteps of Presidents Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower who together deported millions of i*****l m*****ts in the national interest.

Instead, Biden serves party politics and the special interests that profit from the presence of i*****l m*****ts and their impact to the bottom line. In doing so, Biden proves himself a party man.

Wait until you have some actual actions to criticize. I can guarantee you that it won’t be “family separation” as a deterrent as concocted by Miller and implemented by Sessions and Rosenstein at trumps (and his supporters) bidding. They may find themselves before a tribunal to answer for their crimes.

It's just the continuation of the fear mongering and mist***hs that some find it necessary to disseminate. No proof is needed.

Bull..... gas prices are pure supply demand set. Mostly supply. The high prices were mostly due to oil futures speculators and/or refinninery bottlenecks. NOT any govt policy change .
Now it seems you are trying to blame an administration 1 day old for the rise in prices over the last 6 months.

Gas went up here about 28 cents a gallon and it had nothing to do with Biden.

The rise in gas prices currently is simply because fewer people are using their vehicles and even the use of trucks is down due to the C***D epidemic. Now, I don't even blame Trump for the rise in gasoline prices, although the underlying cause of it is the fact that he incompetently handled, or didn't handle, the C***D19 epidemic and allowed 400,000 Americans to die of the disease without addressing it.
BTW - The Keystone Pipeline is carrying zero oil at the moment because it was never completed and the fact that the construction is halted has no effect on the flow of oil.

I read the opening argument of this screed. It lacks intellectual integrity by its failure to note two conditions. First, a sizable number of i*****l m*****ts presented themselves at the U.S.-Mexico border with children not their own. They attempted to use the policy of the U.S. to release family units into the U.S. with a later court date. Few showed for this court hearing, instead disappearing into the U.S. interior.

The U.S. under the former President closed this loophole by detaining the i*****l m*****ts and separating them from the children not their own. The i*****l m*****t then faced the legal system. In turn, the U.S. had the responsibility to locate the true parents of these children while providing for their needs.

The U.S. government also took the legal position that children could not go with their i*****l m*****t parents into detention for their lawbreaking. This view conforms to general practice in the U.S. where children do not go to jail with their inmate parents. Nothing new here, but the fanatics and dupes objecting to it deliberately omitted mention of this practice as justified.

Two, asylum-seekers and their kneejerk supporters cite violence in their home country as a basis for asylum in the U.S. But by law, the criteria for granting asylum in the U.S. do not include this home-country violence. In fact, 90 percent of the applicants for asylum have failed to meet the asylum criteria.

These measures reduced the numbers of i*****l m*****ts in conformity with the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Let us see how Biden performs in view of this longstanding law affecting the flow of foreign nationals to the U.S.

No matter how you cut it, you're whining.

40 cent increase?

The national average price has increased 3 cents from a week ago...and is still down 15 cents from a year ago.
