After Biden told the world for the past few weeks that he had information that Putin was definitely going to invade Ukraine, Putin basically took over a portion of the country without firing a shot.
Today Putin outmaneuvered Biden and Harris and made them look like idiots. This is another sad and embarrassing day for the Biden regime.

Gas will be 8 bucks by July.

BOOYAH! February 21, 2022 - 3:30 PM - 3:30 PM

Jeez, filled up today, $100 …

Badge1104 February 21, 2022 - 4:08 PM - 4:08 PM

Now it’s estimated we’re going to see $8 a gallon here in California!
Thank you Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. It is totally your fault!
Thanks too, ‘suburban housewive’ who’s votes swung the election to get these idiots in office. *Trump*was*better*

Some Dems and greenies want gas prices to be high and go higher so that it’s painful. It’s their way of making the switch to electric cars.

Subversion. Their only policy.

PO'd February 21, 2022 - 5:31 PM - 5:31 PM

It is likely that the prices won’t go down as time moves on as the situation matches up what the American Progressive movement wants. Another example of never letting a disaster pas without creating a department and revenue stream. The Russians invading the Ukraine will certainly have to count as a disaster.
Fuel will remain high.

Putin didn’t make Biden and Harris look like idiots. They took care of that all by themselves. Biden’s brain is barely functional. As for Harris? The jury is still out as to whether or not she ever HAD a brain. Some very toxic gene pools between the two of them. We need some yellow caution tape. Nothing to see here, people. Wait, here’s an extra mask. Now run along.

Randy February 21, 2022 - 6:25 PM - 6:25 PM

Badge 14 – ….and Newsom’s doing! It was one of his unfulfilled campaign promises to get underneath the gas price gouging by the oil companies of Cali and specifically the Bay Area and get our gas prices in line with the rest of the country…… did he do that? noooooooooo ….another was to stop the billions thrown at the high speed rail to nowhere …did he stop that? nooooooo our tax $$ at work. If you voted against the recall – you better not complain.

FACTS!

The reasons CA has higher gasoline prices than the rest of the US:

1. Lack of west coast refineries due to left wing environmental regulations. Crude oil transported by pipelines basically has to pay a “toll” per barrel.

2. Cap and Trade of carbon emission credits. The cost of these credits (market-based) is passed on to motorists.

3. State-required carbon offset fee… about 19.1 cents per gallon.

4. State excise tax of 51.1 cents per gallon.

5. Federal excise tax of 18 cents per gallon.

6. Local sales tax of about 10 cents per gallon.

7. CA’s “special” summer gasoline blend for boutique gasoline.

Add it all up and CA motorists pay about $1.18 more per gallon than normal America.

FACTS!!!

12A – good detail, all the more reason Newsom should be fixing all the Cali causes for increases – as he said he would in his campaign promises

@ Exit. Are you trying to say Randy is wrong? If so, let’s examine your points.

1. Lack of west coast refineries due to left wing environmental regulations. Crude oil transported by pipelines basically has to pay a “toll” per barrel.

Not true. While I agree that left wing environmentalist are a major cause of this, (just like they are the cause of our wildfire issue in the state, California ranks 3rd in the nation with 17 refineries. California’s refineries have a combined production of over two million barrels per calendar day. Even given that argument, how can you justify the Bay Area being one of the highest areas in the state (SF is consistently the highest) when Contra Costa County has refineries blanketing our waterways?

2. Cap and Trade of carbon emission credits. The cost of these credits (market-based) is passed on to motorists.

3. State-required carbon offset fee… about 19.1 cents per gallon.

This could be addressed by the Governor!

4. State excise tax of 51.1 cents per gallon.

This could be addressed by the Governor

5. Federal excise tax of 18 cents per gallon.

This is Federal and not targeted toward California. Thus, this does not play into why Californians pay more than anyone else for gas.

6. Local sales tax of about 10 cents per gallon.

Again, local sales taxes are present throughout the country and are not the cause of us paying more.

7. CA’s “special” summer gasoline blend for boutique gasoline.

This could be addressed by the Governor!

Of course, from a Federal level, it doesn’t help when one of the first thing dementia Joe does is shut down all the major pipelines! Thanks for your support on that one President (I mean Vice President) Harris!

I think Biden and all his voters owe us reparations for all the damage they’ve caused.

JonForTheWin February 21, 2022 - 6:53 PM - 6:53 PM

People get what they vote for.

Jeff (the other one) February 21, 2022 - 7:10 PM - 7:10 PM

not always, some of us get burdened with democrats’ wrong choices.

chuckie the troll February 22, 2022 - 7:38 AM - 7:38 AM

Gavin and Biden own this, people can’t afford it, so Liberals will blame Putin and Ukraine for it. Propaganda at its best!

Sam Malone February 22, 2022 - 12:17 PM - 12:17 PM

How about putting gas prices in California back in line with the rest of the country. I and many more did not vote for this BS being shoved down our throats and the over taxing to support all of the liberal causes.

How about from SOROS all the way down the feeding chain they are to blame but cannot accept the fact they caused this. Divert and blame everyone else.

We are not as stupid as you are!

The Fearless Spectator February 23, 2022 - 4:04 PM - 4:04 PM

“We’ll bankrupt them into selling their gasoline powered cars, and then loan them money to buy overpriced electric cars. We’ll give them a tax credit, but raise taxes to more than cover it. Especially those suckers in California! Then we’ll offer government sponsored no-down-payment options to minorities, repossess when they can’t make the payments, and sell on the open market. Then we’ll blame the banks! Yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket!”
