The speech that Joe Biden delivered on Monday afternoon angered me beyond belief. I try to stay level-headed as I analyze and write about a specific event or topic, but Joe Biden has pushed me beyond the limits. I am pissed. Upset at the situation but more upset that the American people put this aging buffoon in the White House.

Flanked by two of the most inept members of his cabinet, which is a difficult statement to make. This is a cabinet that includes Mayorkas and Buttigieg. It takes effort to be worse than that duo, but Yellen and Granholm will not allow anyone to be worse than them. They are the bottom of the stinking barrel. One is still trying to figure out what transitory is, and the other cannot stop laughing when asked what she is doing to bring down fuel costs. These two do not have a clue; worse, they do not give a damn about America or Americans.

Biden exposed himself as not having a clue about capitalism or the damage he has done to the energy sector of America. When he said in the debate that he wanted to end the fossil fuel industry, did he really think he would get them to react to his every demand? Why should they invest a dime in leases or permits if the President, ignorant of all aspects of business and energy, wants them out of business? He compares today’s profits with last year when America was still shut down. Nobody was driving in 2021, so there was no demand for gasoline. There is now, thus, the profits, Joe. Do I need to type slower for you, or maybe you need Yellen or Granholm to explain it all to you? As if either could.

The oil company profits are a windfall of war. That may be his most ridiculous statement ever, and that is going some. He is now going to blame oil company profits on the Ukraine war. Sorry, but what an idiot. In a time of war, companies have a responsibility to act in the best interest of their country. Joe, we are not at war. We are at the mercy of feckless, ignorant and incapable leadership led by you and your administration. It is your failings to blame, not the oil companies or Putin’s war in Ukraine. So Joe, the Capitalist, will levy a tax on the oil company’s profits. Good luck, and see you in court.

This speech was an embarrassment, and it was an exposure to the weakness of our President. He does not understand how the business world works or the government’s role in that process. Yellen and Granholm stood like two statues. What is their purpose anyway? Biden acts as if the oil companies are an arm of the government. He has promised their elimination, and now he expects them to perform at his pleasure. They should collectively give Biden the middle finger. He doomed them. Now they can play a part in bringing him down, and I think they hope he falls hard.
