President Joe Biden said he will ask the Department of Energy to draw 15 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to combat high oil prices. Biden added he will draw more from the reserve in the months ahead to stabilize markets if needed.

What a clown.
It is not an oil reserve, it is the "Strategic Oil Reserve," to be used in a real emergency, not to buy votes just like the student loan fiasco he has perpetrated on the taxpayers. How much will it cost to restock the Strategic Oil Reserves and how long to do so if we aren't producing oil and the Saudis said screw you biden? Just asking.
'Respond to international events'👌
Ha ha ha ha ha ha 😂 ha ha ha ha ha ha 😂 ha ha ha ha ha ha 😂 pathetic Democrat BS
I see putin released his pet trolls into this comment section.
c'mon man you can't compare corn dogs to the Magna Carta when the deep space aliens are working with the Russians to invent an environmentally friendly diesel disco juice for the kids in Mongolia.
this MFER is so dead set to ruin this country
Why doesn't the president just print one million dollars for every person in America? Two million for illegals, they need it more. That way everybody will be rich and be able to afford gas prices! This is the simplest solution and will surely bring prosperity! I know because I graduated from the Democrat Economic School.
Joe Biden is a pure strategic military leader
Too late…. Dems are finished.🤣
Joe Biden is an inspiration to all Americans.
Wouldn't it be better to keep the prices higher so we use less oil?
Dork Brandon messes everything up.
That's because that's what great presidents do in time of crisis ,they take care of all Americans.
Big Difference with Biden taking Real Solutions,,Trump Tweeting from a Golf Cart would Solve Nothing!
Trying to buy some last minute votes for the Democratic swamp.
Not President
Maybe if we cut your, Jill’s, and Kamala’s travel we wouldn’t have to do a thing. As without the private flights and caravans of cars we would be saving lots of oil. FJB
It’s an obvious shortsighted political move.
Well trump had no problem with depleting American gas.
Of course, Potato Biden is jeopardizing our country, using reserves that are for an EMERGENCY, like WAR! Why you ask, it's SIMPLE to keep gas prices down for the ELECTIONS!! After the elections, the prices will jump back up again, this is a common tactic for ALL politicians to do something to lower gas prices prior to elections. BUT NO President has used the EMERGENCY reserves for this purpose!! 2017 – Trump used 5 mil barrels due to Hurricane Harvey, 2011 – Obama released 30 mil barrels to counter Libya's disruptions, 2005 – Bush used 11 mil for Hurricane Katrina, 1991 – Bush used 17 mil barrels due to the Gulf War. But BIDEN is doing it STRICTLY to influence the elections…PERIOD!! They gave Trump such a bad time about ELECTION interference, but they say NOTHING about Biden interfering with the ELECTIONS!! The media, RINOS and the DEMS are to BLAME!! Biden is a puppet Potato!!
Gas will be $7/gal in January is Dems keep control.
im not from america but biden is the worst President in United States Ever,,,for God sake ,,empeach all of theme,,,,,,,,,
Five minutes after the election, Brandon will drive the price through the ceiling.
If Trump were doing this, YOU KNOW the MEDIA would be SCREAMING about how BAD it is!! But since it's their guy, POTATO Biden, they say nothing!! How corrupt and untrustworthy is the media???
Can you say BRIBE the American public !How much are we willing to let him reduce the stock pile ? We already paid for this oil so is it FREE Joe ….FOOL
Pretty sure Texas is loving the fed gov right now.
Joe The Joke draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to get votes, is like you draining your 401k while you're working and then you have nothing left for retirement! …. : )
Joe did you send Zelenskyy his hush money this month?
This guy could screw up a wet dream.
If gas went down $3,.00 a gallon I'd still vote all Democrats out in November. This puppet has got to go.
Oil or no oil. The lakes and rivers are dried up. Amazon Rainforest almost gone. Snow Crabs disappeared bcz ocean is too warm. Fishermen begging Biden for welfare.
Barges with food, fuel and fertilizer are stuck in the Mississippi River.
Civilization is about to collapse. Where is Orange Jesus? Golfing.
Using our strategic reserves during a time of war to buy votes just after he took hard-working taxpayer money to pay off student loan debt for the privileged without even trying to fix the problem.
America's enemies are all laughing, and waiting for the perfect moment to finish us off.
What say the US Army about the release of that amount of oil STRATEGIC reserves?
🤔❔❓
We don't need a president looking for the easy answers.
Leftist mentality ~ We can stop global warming if we just buy our oil from other countries for twice as much.
There's only one person who could be behind all of Biden's anti-American moves, Barack HUSSEIN Obama, THE ANTI-CHRIST.
We are useing our emergency stockpile to save a few pennies and sending lots of our military's defense weapons to Ukraine,
Hope we don't need these things for an emergency,
what a fool to think that 15 millions barrels of oil can reduce inflation. unless biden admits his fault and returns to his basement.
What happens when we resupply the reserves? Demonrats are sooooo stupid.
Joe Biden is addicted to scratch and snif we as a Nation should chip in and help him out with a little counseling it shouldn't be more then 3 billion let's get it done we the people deserve better
Totally a political move. More worthless garbage from the worthless party.
Gas electric everything is going to skyrocket after nov. He ruined our supplies that had us good now, lying make believe story Joe wants to act like he is going to fix it. This man will say anything that he thinks will get him a vote. Smdh
We're absolutely doomed seriously lmao.
Great.❤thank you. Go Biden!
Pathetic
Combat Mid Term's Crisis. Hopefully Biden doesn't sell it to China and Europe like last time. Anther 1 week price drop. A vote for Democrats is a vote for crises after crises.
Where are all the Dems defending this??? Seems like even they know how stupid and dangerous this is.
He's selling our Reserve to China isn't doing anything for us in dangerous it's not just oil we stock up that's for if we go to war and we get cut off on world Supply which is pretty stupid cuz we had oil Independence before he took office we were exporting oil he's making like he's doing this great thing president Trump filled up the oil reserves he has done nothing right since he's been in office and by the way if you don't want the Democrats get back in and you going to see the gas prices rocket to five bucks again cuz then they feel they're not working for us they think they own us they don't even care what they say to us they don't answer any questions they just point fingers and get rich on us and make us look like idiots to the world when
