The Damage Done By The Biden/Obama Junta Will Not Be Repaired Quickly

Their foul paws were in everything, from child mutilation disguised as medical care; to payoffs to their political cronies; to multi-billion dollar boondoggles in "green energy; to the destruction of our border defenses; to making the armed forces an LGBTQ+ lunatic asylum; to the weaponization of our legal system; to the evisceration of the Constitution, beginning with the 2nd Amendment; and much, much more.

Here is an example of a shockingly craven political act that will take a huge amount of money, and a long time to repair.

Biden drained the nation's energy stockpiles, but 'Big Beautiful Bill' allocation won't refill it

Upon taking office in January, President Donald Trump proclaimed that “We will bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves up again right to the top, and export American energy all over the world.” The statement referred to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), the nation’s energy stockpile. It wasn’t the only time Trump stated his administration would replenish the stockpile.
However, the Big Beautiful Bill allocated only $171 million for petroleum acquisitions toward that goal. To get back to where it was when former President Joe Biden took office, the federal government needs to purchase approximately 236 million barrels of oil. At current oil prices, which have been hovering around $65 per barrel for the past few weeks, the $171 million Congress allocated will only add a few million barrels to the reserve.

Sure, we can pile on and criticize the Trump administration for not going full-steam ahead and refilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). After all, it is an important part of our national security, and something that seems relatively straightforward to do. Except.... we need Congress to appropriate about $20 billion to get it done, and that will be a political fight that in light of other issues, might not be realistic.

A more optimistic view of our national security needs should probably recognize that the United States is now the world's largest petroleum producer, and that is far different than in 1975 when the SPR was created. A far more pressing issue is our refining capacity that is concentrated in just a few facilities.

We have about 125 petroleum refineries in the United States, and the top 10 produce about 5,000,000 barrels/day. So an attack on just those 10 would decrease our refining capacity by 25%. Five are in Texas, and three are in Louisiana, so the attack wouldn't even have to cover most of America.

Of course, the most significant damage the traitorous Biden/Obama junta may have done is opened the border to many thousands of military-age Chinese, rabid Islamists, and others. Is it beyond the realm of possibility that some of them are here for the express purpose of industrial sabotage in the event of a conflict? Or even just garden-variety Muslim terrorism?

The Big Beautiful Bill funded an additional 10,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Maybe that isn't enough.

13 Afternoon everyone.

I am positive there will be numerous lawsuits brought against the Administration and any oil company that wants to do any new drilling. Hopefully the push back against that will be HARD.

As far as the border and illegal immigrants go there is much to be done.

Thankfully Trump has managed to stop the bleeding with getting our border secure. It will be much harder getting all the illegals that Biden let in out of the country. Besides rounding up those that are here illegally they should also start going after any and all that hire them.

In my opinion, the US should stop ALL immigration for at least the next 5 years.

The thing that currently concerns me the most is all of the Chinese bringing in diseases and vermin to infect and destroy both our crops and livestock.

This is a clear act of war and at the very least all Chinese non-citizens should be deported instantly along with any Chinese involved with agriculture or holding farm land.

Of course, all Chinese held farm and/or ranch land should be seized and owners given the boot.

You can usually shut a lib up by asking them to name three things about which the Dems were wrong. When they don't answer, you do the "two things, I'll settle for two" thing, then when they still don't answer, you say with a tone of incredulity "One?".

You then point out that if you can't find anything wrong with them, that's a religion, not a political pov.

92 "Sure, we can pile on and criticize the Trump administration for not going full-steam ahead and refilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). After all, it is an important part of our national security, and something that seems relatively straightforward to do. Except.... we need Congress to appropriate about $20 billion to get it done, and that will be a political fight that in light of other issues, might not be realistic."

There's a reason the Administration can't go full speed ahead on refilling the SPR - Biden's bunch broke some of the storage facilities and the rest of the installations are in desperate need of maintenance and repairs.

The caverns are man made. They are located in underground salt domes which are rather common along the Gulf Coast (the geology is quite fascinating). Large boreholes were drilled down into them and vast quantities of water were pumped in and out for an extended period of time, creating the storage caverns. They are exactly like huge underground bottles.

Obama ordered his intel team to ignore months of evidence that Russia not only didn't interfere in the 2016 election but they didn't even have the capability to do it and instead write a completely fake intelligence brief that stated Russia did in fact interfere in the 2016 election to help Trump.

A bunch of other people like Manafort, Page, Pop, Flynn, etc. were actually spied on or prosecuted all based of fake intelligence. They lied to FISA courts. They falsified evidence. They lied to Congress not to mention the entire country. They tried to take down a sitting president over lies.

212 Via Grok:

Energy Secretary Chris Wright has claimed that the Biden administration's rapid drawdown of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) caused significant damage to its infrastructure, with repair costs estimated at over $100 million and potentially reaching billions, with repairs taking years.

Specifically, Wright stated that the rapid drainage of nearly 180 million barrels in 2022, aimed at lowering gas prices before the midterm elections, damaged half of the SPR facilities due to the system's design not accommodating such quick withdrawals.

The SPR, stored in underground salt caverns along the Gulf Coast, was reduced to its lowest level in decades, with only 399 million barrels remaining as of May 2025, compared to its 715 million barrel capacity.

Below is the generational breakdown of Trump’s job approval from this survey, as shared by Rasmussen Reports on X:

Ages 18–29 (Gen Z): 44% approve, 56% disapprove (implied from net approval trends).
Ages 30–39 (Younger Millennials): 55% approve, 45% disapprove.
Ages 40–49 (Older Millennials/Younger Gen X): 56% approve, 44% disapprove.
Ages 50–64 (Gen X): 49% approve, 51% disapprove.
Ages 65+ (Baby Boomers): 49% approve, 51% disapprove.

Based on the available data from Rasmussen Reports and other polls in 2025, Gen Z approval of President Donald Trump is trending downward as of July 2025. Here’s a concise breakdown:

Rasmussen Reports (July 13–17, 2025): Gen Z (ages 18–29) approval was 44%, with 56% disapproving.

This is a decline from earlier Rasmussen polls, such as June 1–5, 2025, which showed 55% approval for the same age group.

🚨 BREAKING (WH Source): Former President Barack Obama is allegedly urging foreign allies to stall negotiations with the Trump administration — quietly suggesting they “wait it out” until after 2028.

One senior White House official said:

“It’s clear he’s still trying to run his own foreign policy. Off the books. Off the record.”

This level of interference by a former president while Trump is actively in office is raising serious alarms.

One intel advisor warned:

“This could cross into illegal territory if it continues.”

Its why, honestly, I believe our elections are rigged. After Perot, the GOP and DNC agreed to one thing - there could never be another Ross Perot.

Then we had the Tea Party. The GOP enjoyed that wave so much that they killed it. Then we got Trump - who had the good sense to work within a party just enough to step to the front of the line.

Does anyone else remember that over 50 sitting GOP Reps "retired" after Trump won ? Did I "imagine" that number ? No, I did not.

Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at July 20, 2025 12:30 PM

Trend Analysis: The decline in Gen Z approval appears driven by economic dissatisfaction, particularly concerns over inflation and tariffs, which have hit younger voters harder. Rasmussen’s June-to-July drop (55% to 44%) and YouGov’s low figures suggest a broader cooling of support among Gen Z since earlier in 2025, when some polls (e.g., Tufts CIRCLE post-2024 election) noted higher support (47% voted for Trump).

Caveat: Rasmussen’s numbers are higher than other pollsters, possibly due to its conservative-leaning methodology, but even their data confirms a downward trend for Gen Z. X posts claiming high Gen Z support (e.g., 63% in June) lack credibility and don’t align with established polls.

Downward Trend for Both Genders: Gen Z men’s approval has declined from highs of 58% (June 2025, Rasmussen) to around 45% or lower by July, while women’s approval has consistently been lower, dropping to 20–25% in recent polls.

291 Trend Analysis: The decline in Gen Z approval appears driven by economic dissatisfaction, particularly concerns over inflation and tariffs, which have hit younger voters harder.

Pick One: inflation or tariffs, because with Biden/Harris there was record breaking high inflation. With Trump, you get tariffs flowing into the Fed Treasury, but what you pay at retail hasn't gone up anywhere near what inflation would do.

Furthermore, Boomers should not like tariffs as described by the enemies of Trump because like inflation, it eats into their savings and robs them blind.

With Z/α it means more things being in-sourced into the US which, in their life times would mean more opportunity.

Every generation who had a government sinecure should not like the Trump admin' s attempt to lengthen the time before the inevitable bankruptcy of the US.
