Official Proof Democrats hate America thread

Just in time for winter and the folks who heat their houses with fuel oil (diesel)... Yep, Biden tried to keep the price down until after the midterms. Prepare your bungholes after the first of the year or so...

U.S. sells last batch of emergency reserve oil from historic release​


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Energy on Thursday said it sold 15 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to six companies, completing the last batch of the largest-ever release from the stockpile announced by President Joe Biden in March.

The contracts were awarded to Phillips 66, Marathon Petroleum Supply and Trading LLC, Shell Trading (US), Valero Marketing and Supply, Macquarie Commodities Trading US, and Equinor Marketing and Trading, the Energy Department said in a statement. Deliveries will take place from Dec. 1 to Dec. 31.

Biden sold 180 million barrels of oil from the reserve to fight oil prices that had spiked on concerns about Russia's war on Ukraine, stronger demand as global consumers emerged from the pandemic, and U.S. drillers struggling at first to boost output.

The oil price jump helped push U.S. inflation to the highest level in 40 years.

The U.S. president announced a plan last month to begin refilling the stockpile when U.S. crude is around $70 a barrel, a level he said would allow drillers to profit while being a good deal for taxpayers. The U.S. benchmark was around $89 on Thursday. [O/R]

The U.S. Treasury estimated that the 180 million barrel sale cut gasoline prices by up to about 40 cents per gallon compared to what they would have been absent the release.

But the sale also bled the SPR, meant to be a protection against shocks in energy markets, to the lowest level since May 1984. And it helped to sour U.S. relations with Saudi Arabia which sided with Russia in early October in a deep oil production cut.

Biden said on Oct. 19 the United States is ready to tap the SPR again early next year to rein in prices.
 
Welp, hold onto your wallets folks, Election will be over...

Biden Administration Wants to Pay $450K Per Person to Migrant Families Separated at Border​


The ‘zero-tolerance policy’ applied to families who illegally crossed the US-Mexico border to claim asylum. Since children could not be detained alongside their parents, the families were separated, sometimes with no way to track and reunited them later on, government investigations found.

Now, many families are released into the interior of the US and asked to appear in court at a later date. Some are deported under Title 42, the coronavirus public health policy.

Lawsuits are claiming the separated children were housed in poor conditions, and sometimes suffered from malnutrition or heat exhaustion or were kept in freezing cold rooms and offered little medical care.

Lawyers for the families argue the children have suffered long-lasting trauma from the anxiety of being without their parents.

They seek a range of payouts, averaging $3.4 million per family.

So they, came into America illegally and yet we have to compensate them with large sums of money because they chose to risk their family’s lives coming across the border.

How does this make any sense?



As if we are not enough of a financial crisis, the Biden administration wants to fork out a whopping $450k per person to families separated at the southern border.

Apparently this money is to appease migrants who filed lawsuits, claiming psychological damage due to separation from family members at the border.

Officials from the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering the payments that could total close to $1 million for two people within the same family.


The American Civil Liberties Union, which represents the separated families, has identified about 5,500 children separated from parents at the border. The total potential payout could cost $1 billion or more.

The Biden Administration are claiming this was due to former President Donald Trump’s border policy that was enacted in April 2018 and was withdrawn two months later after much controversy in June.




Meanwhile, we have rampant homeless people over-running streets in many states and yet no one is addressing them or helping. The government claims there are no funds for the homeless. Yet they can magically make money appear for illegal migrants.

The Biden administration keeps painting this cruel picture of how poorly the migrants are being treated. What about the people who already live in America? Apparently their lives don’t matter as much.

Earlier this month, Michelle Brane, head of the Family Reunification Task Force, said that the Biden team had only been able to reunite 52 of the over 1,000 families separated under the policy who have not yet found each other.

“We estimate that over 1,000, somewhere between 1,000, 1,500, maybe more remain separated,” Brane said on CBS’ 60 Minutes on Oct. 12. “It’s very hard to know because there’s no record. So there’s nowhere to go to find out who was separated or not. It really is case-by-case detective work.”

There is no record because once again they are in our country ILLEGALLY!

Some government lawyers are outraged at the payments under discussion, which they view as excessive for people who knowingly broke the law by crossing the border.

One government lawyer threatened to remove his name from the case in protest of the potential settlement offer.

One government attorney said that the payouts could amount to more than the government paid to the families of 9/11 victims. Another disputed that comparison, as the US government had not been directly responsible for the 9/11 attack. Payouts averaged $2 million, tax-free, per family.

A record 1.7 million families were encountered trying to enter the US illegally in the 2021 fiscal year, ending Sept. 30, up from a record 1.6 million in 2000. Over 479,000 families were encountered, along with an unusually high number of unaccompanied children, 147,000.

Many Republicans are outraged by the Biden Administration’s actions.

“I just about fell out of my chair when I read this. For the sake of our country, I hope this reporting is in error. This would be an OUTRAGE,” Sen. Lindsey Graham.

“UNACCEPTABLE Report says Biden admin considering payments of 450k per person 2ppl who crossed the border ILLEGALLY Those are taxpayers dollars We should not be paying anything to ppl who break our laws,” Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, wrote on Twitter.

“Joe Biden wants to raise your taxes, but give $450,000 to illegal immigrants. Biden is putting America last,” said Rep. Ken Buck.

“Joe Biden gave Americans a $1300 check but wants to give illegal immigrants $450,000, which is more than the 9/11 victims compensation fund. Amidst rising inflation, this is how he wants to spend your money. Priorities,” Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., wrote on Twitter.
