On top of that, even as the gangster Putin wages war on a sovereign nation that was no threat to him or anyone else, thanks to Biden, we\u2019re now funding that war to the tune of the millions of dollars per day we\u2019re paying Russia for its oil.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Russia\u2019s state-run Sputnik News reported on Friday that Moscow is preparing ostensibly devastating retaliatory sanctions that will be \u201cwell-calculated and painful for the American side.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Q5nOc8Ck8c\">https:\/\/t.co\/Q5nOc8Ck8c<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BreitbartNews\/status\/1497399094662340611?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 26, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So that\u2019s why PolitiFact is lying and whoring out its credibility to protect Democrats \u2026 again. Here\u2019s how PolitiFact is doing that\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Fox\u2019s Maria Bartiromo spoke a truth the corrupt, left-wing establishment does not want spoken. She accurately informed her audience, \u201cWe have doubled our[oil] \u00a0imports from Russia in the last year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although what Bartiromo said is verifiably true, PolitiFact called her a liar with a \u201cmostly false\u201d rating.<\/p>\n<p>Except she wasn\u2019t lying. She was 100 percent accurate. Here are the facts:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The U.S. did double the amount of crude oil imported from Russia last year.<\/p>\n[\u2026]\n<p>The most recent data from the U.S.\u00a0Energy Information Administration\u00a0shows that the U.S. increased its oil imports from Russia by an average of 154,000 barrels per day in the first 11 months of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. imports two types of oil from Russia: crude oil and refined products such as gasoline and kerosene. Last June, the U.S. imported 848,000 barrels per day of crude oil and refined petroleum products from Russia.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So there you go. It says right there in black and white that the U.S. doubled its crude oil imports last year.<\/p>\n<p>Allow me to repeat my \u00a0source: \u201cThe U.S. did double the amount of crude oil imported from Russia last year.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Pretty straightforward, right?<\/p>\n<p>And who exactly is my source?<\/p>\n<p>Brace yourselves\u2026<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>My source is\u2026<\/p>\n<p>PolitiFact!<\/p>\n<p>No joke, in the very same \u201cfact check\u201d that labels Bartiromo a liar for saying we doubled our oil imports from Russia last year, PolitiFact admits, \u201cThe U.S. did double the amount of crude oil imported from Russia last year\u201d!<\/p>\n<p>What PolitiFact hopes is that no one bothers to read the actual fact check. These propagandists want to 1) smear Bartiromo and 2) hide the fact that Biden\u2019s bungling made us more reliant on Russian oil, and this reliance is helping to fund an obscene war against an innocent country.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Saudis, Russians, and other members of the oil cartel have rejected President Joe Biden&#8217;s request that they produce more oil to lower U.S. gasoline prices.  <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0w1ptqAe5Z\">https:\/\/t.co\/0w1ptqAe5Z<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BreitbartNews\/status\/1427338165979914240?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 16, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Democrats claim to hate Putin, but the only way we can hurt Putin is to castrate the one thing that makes him a world player, and that\u2019s Russia\u2019s energy reserves.
