The recent headline blasted: “TRUMP JUST MADE MORE PROMISES TO OIL INDUSTRY CAMPAIGN DONORS”
The story that followed in the “climate” section of the Post was a typical attempted “hit piece” designed scare people into voting against President Trump because he has been courting domestic energy with his campaign.
What did the “horrible promises” consist of?
Really scary stuff like approving exploration leases faster and opening up pipelines that would allow energy to be moved across the nation with less CO2 needed.
The authors of the piece even brought up the fact that this sidebar about domestic energy has become a regular part of the President’s campaign messaging citing recent speeches where he has hit the same notes.
The problem for WaPo is that they sit on the wrong side of the energy divide. Trump is on the correct side and the legacy media like WaPo is about to have their lunch handed to them in the next election.
And on energy they absolutely should.
Domestic energy production is the single most important fiscal, national defense, and human flourishing issue in the election.
Biden sees them as three separate issues. He thinks fiscal matters are solved by the government giving you more stuff. His idea of national defense is sucking up to Venezuela, and Iran, and abandoning Israel. His answer to human agony is to let even more children and women be raped as they head towards our southern border with no help waiting for them once they arrive.
Biden is a daft old man who is on the wrong side of even Memorial Day Weekend. He and Kamala Harris spent time honoring George Floyd instead of the fallen men and women in uniform. Never mind that the person who killed Floyd sits in prison for his crime. The people who murdered dozens and burned down millions in black infrastructure, business and housing still walk free.

But back to domestic energy here’s why Trump should be courting its producers— and the reasons are many.
1. It makes our cost for energy much cheaper. The East Coast of the United States is still paying upwards of $4-$6 per gallon of gas. But so are all of the grocery and retail shopping suppliers. The cost of that gallon of gas is a double tax on every grocery buyer in the nation. And if you live out west add a $1-$2 per gallon due to the whacky “green initiatives” that cause an overuse of the grid nearly every summer.
2. Domestic energy production will also bankrupt our enemies. Putin has the monies to invade Ukraine because Biden made Putin wealthy in denying America’s energy a role in the global marketplace. Iran was able to pay its henchmen of Hamas and Hezbollah to attack Israel on October 7, 2023 because of the price per barrel. When America was under Trump we had become the world’s leading exporter. As result global prices stayed low. But when daft old Biden came in and in essence slowed our production to a drip, we didn’t have the supplies to compete. A good rule of thumb is: when prices per barrel are over $80 the bad guys are getting rich. When they are below that they begin to feel the pain.
3. We have enough energy under our feet to power the globe for another thousand years and never even have to worry about it. And after another thousand more energy will be available to be discovered.
4. Fossil fuels — to the opposite of what climate alarmists claim — have prevented billions of deaths. The ability to harvest massive quantities of food means far less starvation. The use of refrigeration and efficient cooking technology allow food to be usable longer. And without effective air- conditioning and basic heat millions would have died from extreme temperatures and conditions of actual hot and cold. These facts are irrefutable.
None of these cogent points are ever mentioned by the Washington Post or the rest of the legacy media because the insulated bubble they live in never allows them the opportunity to come to a different conclusion.
But the American people are living with $5 gas, $11 eggs, and starting a hot summer where they may not be able to stay cool because of the lack of a grid to hold up to the demand.
Trump is rightfully recruiting the domestic energy sector to join his campaign. It’s not bribery or any other tawdry implication the Post is attempting to make it out to be.
No. It’s problem solving. It helps us live better, it helps to fix a very broken economy, it bankrupts our enemies, and gives America the upper hand in world dominance in a world that has become unraveled by the man who needs uppers to make a campaign speech and yells at his audiences for no apparent reason.
President Trump is right on American energy, and it will be the cornerstone policy of his second administration that will fix America’s problems.
The Washington Post didn’t intend to, but they inadvertently helped get the word out that President Trump is even now already fixing one of America’s greatest problems.
Get educated on why domestic energy is so very crucial. And WaPo we appreciate the effort to help Make America Great!
