Dems join GOP in vote to block Biden from selling strategic oil reserves to China
More than half of House Democrats supported the GOP measure

By Peter Kasperowicz | Fox News

Dozens of House Democrats joined Republicans on Thursday to pass legislation that would prevent the Biden administration from selling any more oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to China or Chinese-owned companies.

The House easily passed the bill in an 331-97 vote. Every Republican voted for it, and 113 Democrats – more than half of the House Democratic caucus – joined the GOP.

It was the second vote this week that saw large numbers of Democrats help House Republicans pass legislation. Two days earlier, more than two-thirds of House Democrats voted with Republicans to create a committee to address U.S. strategic competition with China.

The bill was brought up by Republicans after the Biden administration’s decision last year to sell nearly 1 million barrels of oil from the SPR to Unipec America, a U.S.-based company owned by China. The Department of Energy announced that sale in April 2022, and Republicans warned on the House floor that it makes no sense to deliver vast energy resources to entities controlled by America’s largest competitor.

If this isn't further proof that Biden is an agent of the CCP, I don't know what is.  One more example of the Biden Crime Family treason.

Had there been six more Democrats in the House, the vote would have failed 216-218.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

At some point, the drawdown risks collapsing the salt caverns the SPR is stored in, doing permanent damage to the facility. Time to put the brakes on Biden's depletion scheme, and to unleash the US Oil industry (and infrastructure builders) on the problem.

Electrics will never replace the millions of vehicles on the road, and the grid is having trouble keeping up with current demand, anyway.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
