I paid $1.67 per gallon in on Jan. 20, 2021; I saw it at $3.97 yesterday. Biden is going to Disney World, and hopes you'll come along
/
I remember the exact date because it was the day Biden was inaugurated. The price at the same New Hampshire gas station where I filled my tank that day has jumped from $3.37 last week to $3.97 today. Not surprisingly, Joe’s caretaker/handlers have given him a different memory, one that they’d like you to share:
In that same speech, the leader of the free world gave his audience a twofer:
'My predecessor was the first president since Herbert Hoover, not a joke, to lose jobs, during the entirety of his administration,' he said. That reference included the 2.9 million jobs lost, with the pandemic wiping out earlier job gains.
John Fetterman might share Biden’s memory, but (I hope) most Americans aren’t as mentally crippled as the pair.
UPDATE. This article from January 2011 nicely laid out the deindustrialists’ agenda
UPDATE. Robert Spenser also has thoughts on this subject
The average gas price on January 20, 2021 wasn’t five dollars a gallon. It was less than half that. The average gas price on January 20, 2021, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, was $2.37 per gallon. According to the same source, Biden is even lying about the average gas price today, which is $3.76, not $3.39. Biden, of course, wants everyone to hate Donald Trump, and so he hopes that he can convince some low-attention, low-information Leftists that gas prices really were high when Bad Orange Man was in the White House, and that now he has saved the day, but this is an outrageous twisting of the facts.
Now there are two possibilities: Biden told the lie knowing that it was a lie, but figuring that if he could solidify the Trump-hatred in a few people’s minds, it was worth it, or else Biden really believes this. Both options are frightening, in different ways.
If Biden said this knowing full well that it was a lie, he has revealed the cynicism at the heart of his entire political career, and the dishonest core of his policies. Plenty of presidents have lied to the American people in the past, but few, if any, with the brazenness and audacity of Old Joe, and this lie is so obvious that if we had a media that wasn’t filled with Leftist propagandists and sycophants, they’d never let Biden hear the end of this.

But it may be even worse if Biden, somewhere in the dementia-befogged recesses of his mind, really does think that gas prices were higher when Trump was president than they are now. That would indicate (as if we needed more indication) that the man simply isn’t capable of performing the duties of the president of the United States, and that he should step down. If he really cared two hoots for the American people, he would be appalled at how his policies have led to the steep rise in gas prices, and working night and day to find a solution. (Of course, he could simply go back to the policies that had us energy independent during the Trump administration, but that would be an admission that he and his henchmen were wrong, and you’re never going to hear that from Old Joe.)
So what we have in the White House is either one of the most unashamed liars ever to walk the planet, or a man with such a tenuous grasp of reality that he blames the singular disaster of his administration upon his predecessor. Either way, this appalling excuse for a president, and for a human being, should be impeached and removed from office.
