★ DRILL, BABY, DRILL ★

When President Trump declared his energy policy as “drill, baby, drill,” on the campaign trail back in 2015, it was an act of pure genius.Fossil fuel spigots for oil and natural gas were reopened. Mr. Trump always encouraged entrepreneurs as they developed fracking and horizontal drilling to generate even more oil and gas production. America became energy independent and dominant. We no longer had to rely on Middle Eastern oil from Saudi-OPEC, or the oil from enemies like Iran, and Russia, and Venezuela.

Those days are gone.

Back in 2015, America was producing 9.4 million barrels per day. Today, we are at a record-high level of 13.6 million barrels per day. President Biden and his merry band of existential climate extremists are now way back in the rearview mirror.According to the Committee to Unleash Prosperity Hotline, America is currently producing 24 million barrels per day in oils and liquid fuels, more than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined.

Indeed America is producing nearly as much natural gas as Russia, Iran, and Communist China combined at 110 billion cubic feet per day.

If Vice President Harris had won in 2024 with her net zero carbon emissions agenda, oil would probably be well above $100 a barrel. And gasoline more than $5 a gallon today. But as it turns out, Operation Epic Fury in Iran has had only a mild impact on oil and gas prices.

Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Greg Ip notes that “changed regimes in Iran and Venezuela would neutralize two of the world’s most disruptive oil powers.” China is soon going to lose its cheap oil discounts from Iran (and perhaps Russia), and will be forced to pay full market prices, prices that at the conclusion of Epic Fury will probably drop into the mid fifties.

Meanwhile, America is producing so much that we have become a net exporter, which is remarkable.

Even during times of stress when prices temporarily bulge, exporting energy companies and their employees will still be quite profitable. And there will be no recessionary oil shock. And because of our tremendous oil and gas production overall, the Iranian war has produced only the smallest bump in pricing. Hence, the inflation threat is de minimis. Just as is the recession threat.

And being the world’s dominant energy producer gives Mr. Trump enormous leverage in his foreign policy dealing with all countries, friends and enemies.It gives us leverage on trade reciprocity.

Now the Iranians boasted that they would close the Strait of Hormuz, but that was fake-news fearmongering. Even with all that, American energy dominance renders Hormuz much less important and easily fixed with government insurance guarantees, and our great navy.......

Drill, Baby, Drill. ---- From Mr. Kudlow’s broadcast on Fox Business Network.

Thank you Mr. President, thank you for making The USA Energy Independent once again!!!

We've inherited your incompetent Leftism Woke here via ALP & mainstream Media.

They're removing forested lands and blowing up areas to make way for Green energy sites.
Of course, mainstream Media refuse to show this environmental destruction clips, for overseas owned Green energy gimmicks here.

I know, leftards, I thought this thread was a joke too.

But no, Panther truly means it, I can assure you.

Right after his DL singlehandedly raised the global oil price by a third.

Now I'm sure Panther will tell us what brilliant four dimensional chess this is, all part of his DL's cunning plan to make Big Oil and America rich again.

He did promise to let them write his energy policy if they chipped a $bil into his campaign, if you recall.

But alas, you and I know DL didn't give a single thought to what shutting down the Persian Gulf would do to the price of oil.

Bibi just got him on the phone, told him it was time to invade Iran, and that was that.

Anything to blow the Epstein files off of Fox and Newsmax. Where can I sign up? DL said.

You wanna become a neocon? Bibi asked.

DL paused, trying to remember what a neocon was, then started bitching about the hits the fake news were giving him. I need a win! He said.

All good, Bibi said. You just start WWIII and leave it to us.

Okay, DL said, and gave Pete the signal. Bomb them back to the stone age, he said.

Er, can we do that? Pete said.

Only joking. Yes sir! Pete said.

Now, some might think the leader of the free world would have had his NSA conduct an assessment and compile a comprehensive report on the impact of starting WWIII, right in the middle of the world's biggest shipping lane and source of a third of global oil.

And you'd be right, they'd be wrong. DL doesn't even have a National Security Advisor. He chucked the last one out after Mike invited a faker to discuss DL's unknown invasion plans.

Its okay, Mike's back in the fold. DL put him in as prez of the UN Security Council - a completely pointless job now he's created his new Board of Peace.

They met two days before DL started WWIII. They discussed a few real estate deals, then moved onto world peace. Any other business? Jared asked.

DL shook his head. Meeting adjourned.

After he invaded Iran, a country with a population of 91 million, the fakers had a few questions.

Sir, sir! They said. What's the objective here?

DL skipped that one and moved onto the next.

Sir! What did Congress say?

Look, we'll need to see what happens - next.

How long's it gonna take?

DL smiled. That was an easy one.

I give it, oh - two weeks.
