Joe Biden Sanctions America’s Energy Costing Billions and Aiding Russia

On July 11, 2018, President Trump was in Brussels to meet with North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) Secretary-General, Jens Stoltenberg, and other NATO representatives. Yet only 10 of NATO’s 30 member-nations paid at least two percent of their annual GDP into NATO’s defense while the United States had consistently been paying four percent of a considerably larger GDP.

By contrast, Germany was paying just over one percent of its GDP. Moreover, they had never met the required contribution despite being one of the wealthiest NATO nations. President Trump noted that Germany was spending billions of dollars helping Russia construct Nord Stream 2, a pipeline that would run directly from Russia into Germany, bypassing Ukraine, Poland, and other countries. Trump questioned why America should remain in NATO if NATO countries were going to continue their dependence on Russian energy.

America and Europe formed NATO to defend against Russian aggression explicitly. Some NATO countries, especially Germany, made Russia rich by dependence on Russian oil and gas. But Russia remains a strategic threat to former Soviet Satellite nations, now NATO members.  

Russia is either an enemy or a friend; they cannot be both.

Trump stopped the completion of Nord Stream 2. He also pushed NATO members to contribute $126 billion in delinquent payments. Finally, Trump cleared unnecessary US regulations allowing America to become energy independent and a net exporter of oil and natural gas.

But all Trump’s work to make us energy independent and Europe safe from Russia unraveled with the inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th President of the United States. No sooner than Joe Biden finished his morning inauguration speech, he entered the Oval Office and began signing scores of Executive Orders undoing every favorable energy policy of the Trump administration. This included canceling the Keystone XL pipeline and shutting down new oil and natural gas exploration and production in America. Within months, America became an energy-dependent nation once again. Biden also lifted all sanctions on Nord Stream 2. Thus, he set the stage for Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Biden’s sanctions on our energy industry are not only costing billions more at the gas pumps, but we’re paying more for everything requiring energy; food, heating, cooling, manufacturing, and the like. We’re also at a strategic loss to counter Russia’s aggression in Europe.

Join me as I explain this twisted web of deceit, policy blunders, and the Biden administration’s perverse allegiance to the Left’s Climate Change war against fossil fuels.

Corporate America Goes WOKE: Target, Bud Light, Petsmart, Disney

The Voice of a Nation [malcolm at eight] – It started with Gay Parades coming done Main Street, USA; most Americans looked the other way. It quickly moved into the classroom, and Americans still looked the other way. The pressure being placed on young children has contributed heavily to depression and suicide. Ironically, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy calls the current state, the worst youth mental health crisis in recent memory…

Whistleblower Report – Did you know Melbourne in formerly free Australia signed agreements with the World Economic Forum for WEF Autonomous Policing, not subject to the customary laws in Australia?

Standing in Righteous Truth With Rebecca Mistereggen

Nurses Out Loud with Kimberly Overton, BSN, RN – Making a decision to stand in righteous truth is an empowering choice. It requires moral courage, integrity, and strength of character to stand up for what you believe in, even when it is unpopular or challenging to do so. It is being truly convicted and adhering to your values, no matter the consequences. It is having the courage to speak out against injustice…

Dealing With the Corrupt Bureaucratic State

Dealing With the Corrupt Bureaucratic State

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – “Give them an inch, and they’ll take a mile.” If there is one idiom to describe our Founding Father’s understanding of the need for a limited government, that has to be it. Over my lifetime, I’ve watched as government actors, at all levels, have taken mile after mile of our rights and liberties. Most of these illegal powers are vested not in elected…

The Debt Deal Disaster

The Debt Deal Disaster

The Tom Renz Show – Why are we funding 87,000 new IRS agents, the green new deal, the DOJ/FBI persecution of Donald Trump and the J6ers, & pharma (still)?

The Government-Imposed Epidemic of Loneliness Study

The Government-Imposed Epidemic of Loneliness Study

America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Marilyn Singleton – The federal government’s solution to this deadly epidemic is its plan to establish a “National Strategy to Advance Social Connection.” Maybe this is precisely what is wrong. Since the Great Society programs in the 1960s, the federal government’s ever-expanding regulation of our lives has encouraged us to…

Boycott Benefits vs. Cancel Culture Detriments

Boycott Benefits vs. Cancel Culture Detriments

Nurses Out Loud with Beth Hnat, RN – In recent years the term “Cancel Culture” has been thrust into our vocabulary with its associated actions. The left has started this movement, and it is carried out in various ways and multiple industries. What I find fascinating about Cancel Culture is how it always seems to have an opposite effect on its intended actions and demonstrates additional…
