LurkerMom: A reason why gas prices came down was Biden raided the Strategic Petroleum Reserve....

Raided? Biden released crude from the Strategic Oil Reserve and, as you note, brought down the price of gasoline. At the same time, he banked $4 billion for the United States Treasury.

The U.S. has scored a $4 billion windfall on sales from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).

Emergency releases from the SPR are set to end this month as the Biden administration has sought to ease the price of gasoline for consumers. Over the release period, the administration sold 180 million barrels of crude at an average price of $96.25 per barrel, well above the current price of about $74 per barrel. For now, that translates into an almost $4 billion gain.

Brilliant, right?


LurkerMom: The left wing violence continued during the Trump years as President.
I cannot remember ANY president putting up with such hate and nonsense ever.

Do you even bother to read your links?

For example, from your link:

By certain metrics, such as human casualties and frequency of attacks, the violence committed by AVE actors in the past decade pales in comparison to other categories of violent extremists.

Also from your link:

This confirms that AVE-related significant terrorism incidents during this timeframe were relatively infrequent, especially in comparison to other DVE categories. Overall, AVE violence appeared to be less lethal than other groups. None of the seven AVE-related incidents resulted in deaths...

That's seven incidents between 2015 and 2019.

Sheesh. Now do Jan. 6.
