Guest Post by Ron Paul
It’s easy to see why, according to a new Harris poll, 71 percent of Americans said they do not want Joe Biden to run for re-election. As Americans face record gas prices and the highest inflation in 40 years, President Biden admits he could not care less. His Administration is committed to fight a proxy war with Russia through Ukraine and Americans just need to suck it up.
Last week a New York Times reporter asked Biden how long he expects Americans to pay record gasoline prices over his Administration’s Ukraine policy. “As long as it takes,” replied the president without hesitation.
“Russia cannot defeat Ukraine,” added Biden as justification for his Administration’s pro-pain policy toward Americans. The president has repeatedly tried to deflect blame for the growing economic crisis by claiming Russia is solely behind recent inflation. “The reason why gas prices are up is because of Russia. Russia, Russia, Russia,” he said in the same press conference.
But Biden has a big problem: Americans do not believe him. According to a Rasmussen poll earlier this month, only eleven percent of Americans believe Biden’s claim that Russian president Vladimir Putin is to blame for high prices.
When it comes to disdain for the average American hurt by higher prices, there is more than enough in the Biden Administration to go around.
Brian Deese, Director of President Biden’s National Economic Council, was asked in a recent CNN interview, “What do you say to those families that say, listen, we can’t afford to pay $4.85 a gallon for months, if not years?”
His answer? “This is about the future of the Liberal World Order and we have to stand firm.”
Has there ever been an Administration more out of touch with the American people? If you asked working Americans whether they’d be happy to suffer poverty for the “liberal world order,” how many would say “that sounds like a great idea”?
President Biden’s attempts to bring down gasoline prices are bound to fail because he does not understand the problem. He can beg the Saudis to pump more oil, he can even threaten the US oil companies as he did in a Tweet yesterday. He can buy and sell from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in attempt to give the impression that prices are lowing. None of it will work.
The strangest part of this idea that Americans must suffer to hurt the Russians is that these policies aren’t even hurting Russia! On the contrary: Russia has been seen record profits from its oil and gas exports since the beginning of the Ukraine war.
According to a recent New York Times article, increasing global oil and gas prices have enabled Russia to finance its war on Ukraine. US sanctions did not bring the Russian economy to its knees, as Biden promised. They actually brought the American economy to its knees while Russian profits soared.
As Newsweek noted last week, Russian television pundits are joking that with the financial windfall Russia has seen since sanctions were imposed, “Biden is of course our agent.”
Washington’s bi-partisan foreign policy of wasting trillions on endless wars overseas has finally come home. Biden is clearly out of touch, but there is plenty of blame to go around. The only question is whether we will see an extended recession…or worse.

30% of Americans (the bottom of the barrel) presently support the democrats and their Useful Idiot president who is rapidly destroying America for the 70% of us (moderates and conservatives). When TSHTF later this year over food and fuel, on 8Nov2022 the democrats will lose the House and the Senate , and then FJB will get Impeached just like Trump was twice by the democrats. Hopefully they will then prosecute the CV-19 Genocide Shot Holocaust Criminals, and the 2020 Vote Fraud Criminals, etc. Americans need a Revival Politically, Economically and Spiritually. Somebody better than Trump is needed to Build US Back Better. Amen.
You believe those numbers, do you?
It is kinda hard to believe 30% are that stupid; one person in 3 thinks the democrats and FJB is worth a shit? Maybe if you took the poll in a Black neighborhood in Chicago it might go that high.
Justice will NOT be delivered by elected republicans. It will come from the hands of the citizenry.
Not from John Cornyn Republicans.
seems if we start pumping more oil we would cause the cost of oil to plummet to $20/barrel which would bankrupt russia. this war will not end until europe is destroyed.
Never see $20; the USA is being destroyed not Russia.
If Ron has a failing, it is that he gives people way more credit than they deserve, always likes to see policies as just mistakes, etc. One can only call our policy to Russia a “failure” unless destroying America was the point all along.
Isn’t FJB batting 1000 at failures (except for stealing elections, stealing money & appointing total assholes).
Are they failures or 100% part of the plan? Sure, we consider them as failures.
They weren’t joking
