Among the newest examples is an ICE detention that took place in the same area California voters had to pass through to reach a ballot drop box.

He promised to cut energy bills in half in 6 months and gas prices would be under $2. He never said he couldn’t do that because he’s “inheriting a mess.” He said he would do it & it would be easy. So he can try & blame Biden now all he wants, but he blatantly lied & is a buffoon.

Again, gas prices spiked in 2022-23 because Russia invaded Ukraine which caused a major disruption in global supply. Then they came down. Biden didn’t cause it. Gas prices rose in 2026 due solely to the stupidity of Trump who started a war in the Middle East.
