Biden Backs Venezuelan Oil Over American Jobs—Is Our Energy Future in the Hands of Dictators?

Chevron has been bringing in barrels of crude oil from Venezuela like clockwork—about 250,000 a day. That’s not some fringe story; it’s reality in Joe Biden’s America. The world is on edge thanks to Middle East turmoil, but instead of unleashing American energy, this administration bends over backward for socialists in Caracas. Who benefits from this? Certainly not the American worker, and definitely not our families shelling out at the pump.

Remember when America was energy independent? There was a time when we called the shots, not some failed regime in Venezuela led by anti-American thugs. Now, Biden and his buddies seem happy to put American oil jobs on ice, all while playing nice with a government notorious for crushing basic freedoms and running its country into the ground.

What does Chevron have to say for itself? The suits at the top talk a big game about securing supply and keeping prices stable. But let’s get real. The United States has enough oil within our own borders to light up every city, power every home, and make us the top dog in world markets once again. The Left, for all their “green revolution” noise, wouldn’t dare let that happen. Instead, they’d rather partner up with corrupt, globalist-friendly regimes than let American drillers get back to work.

Liberals love to lecture about human rights and the environment. So where’s the outrage over supporting one of the world’s most repressive governments, just for the sake of a quick oil fix? The hypocrisy alone is enough to make your head spin. One minute they’re shutting down pipelines at home, the next they’re writing checks to Venezuela’s strongmen.

At the end of the day, these “international partnerships” are just a cover for failed policies and American weakness. Until our leaders start putting the interests of our country—our people—first, the only thing that’ll keep rising are gas prices and global instability. Maybe it’s time to ask: Who’s really driving American energy policy—the White House, or the dictators signing the oil contracts?
