The Biden-Harris administration issued a report Friday to increase the price of oil leasing fees on federal lands in the United States by 50 percent—even while accusing oil companies of artificially increasing prices through illegal and anticompetitive actions.
Despite record-high gasoline prices impacting American families across the country with winter around the corner, the Biden-Harris administration is recommending Congress hike the cost of oil leases on government lands from 12.50 percent to 18.75 percent.

Congress has to agree with this. Let’s see how stupid they are.
So increasing the fees will help the price of oil/gas go down, Joe?
Clearly, his controllers (case officers) are the ventriloquists.
Democrats reasoning is they may as well make a nice profit while they destroy.
Who’s the first President in the history of this Republic who did NOT leave DC when their terms ended? Obozo, and he is pulling Joe’s strings. On his first day in office, President Dufus killed the Keystone Pipeline and shut down offshore and federal land oil leases. That action contributes significantly to overall inflation because of the distribution costs of products in the US. He then has the guts to accuse the oil companies of gouging! Even worse, he asks domestic producers to lower prices. Does this seem to anyone else like the Menendez brothers pleading for the court’s mercy because they are now orphans?
You will soon see lines at stations as in the 70s.
GOP already has enough safe seats — through redistricting alone — to win back House in ‘22

Republican-led states have already added enough safe seats through redistricting to flip control of the House of Representatives in next year’s midterm elections.
Republicans have already reconfigured enough districts to add five safe seats, which would be enough to flip the House majority if nothing else changes, according to a New York Times analysis.
Though people of color drove most of the nation’s population growth in the last census, some Republican states have aggressively packed voters of colors into single districts or failed to draw a single minority-majority district at all.
Many of the new maps have already been challenged by lawsuits, although a 2019 Supreme Court decision that allows federal courts to review gerrymanders that appear to be based on race — but not those designed simply for partisan advantage — is likely complicate the legal challenges.
Republicans have already added a net total of five seats, according to the Times, after completing redistricting in Texas, Iowa, North Carolina and Montana. Though Democrats are poised to add safe seats for themselves in states like New York, Illinois and Oregon, Republicans have total control of the redistricting process in states that represent 187 congressional districts while Democrats control just 75.
Some of the new maps build on existing districts that were already heavily gerrymandered by Republicans following the 2010 census.
The path back to a majority for Democrats if they lose in 2022 has to run through states like Texas, and they’re just taking that off the table.
Other Republican-led states are expected to produce similarly gerrymandered maps. Ohio Republicans are pushing a map that would give them 13 of the state’s 15 seats in the House, giving them 86% of seats even though Donald Trump won just just 53% of the vote in Ohio last year.

Didn’t Psaki say something along the lines of “It’s absurd to think that companies would pass the cost of higher taxes on to their customers.”?
The ones making the profit will those of us producing from private property. He keeps it up and we’ll be seeing 150 dollar a barrel oil again. Bought a second house in Ruidoso New Mexico last time that happen.
They are domestic enemies hellbent on destroying our economy and nobody is doing anything about it.
He cancels the keystone pipeline then raises fees on them and then accuses them of raising prices on the people!? WTH!
This helps Putin, who then gives Hunter extra money to give to Joe Biden.
No, it speeds up the destruction of the UNITED STATES and the people who made this country great, it also brings totaliarism closer and the good life for the elite.
Being the sock puppet he is he will agree with anything they say so it makes him one two and worse.
10% for the big guy!!!
Pissonme....is a puppet. She say’s what “they” want her to say....
Anti-competitive? I for one believe him but somehow I’d take it more seriously if Trump said it.
