America Last. Biden did far more than shut down the Keystone Pipeline. He also placed a moratorium on oil leases on federal property (which was blocked in court but is apparently still followed in the Interior Department, as the number of drilling permits it has issued dropped sharply), suspended some existing drilling leases, restricted fracking, placed onerous financial regulations on the oil industry, and more.
But Chevron operating in Venezuela is just fine.
“Biden’s Treasury Department renews Chevron’s oil license to operate in Venezuela,” by Lawrence Richard, FOXBusiness, May 27, 2022:
The U.S. Treasury Department renewed a license Friday for Chevron to operate its oil production in Venezuela, a country sanctioned by the U.S., potentially setting up a broader license agreement later in the year.
The U.S. has previously served as Venezuela’s largest oil market but oil activity between the countries has been limited amid ongoing political turmoil between Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his opposition, Juan Guaido, who the U.S. recognizes as Venezuela’s rightful leader, Reuters reported.
Under the current license, Chevron is allowed to continue to maintain its staff and operation infrastructure as well as payments on third-party invoices, local taxes and utility services.
The license allows Chevron to conduct “transactions and activities necessary for safety or the preservation of assets in Venezuela,” according to the report. The oil company is also able to participate in shareholder and board meetings….
Chevron’s new license extends its current agreement through the end of November.
Walter Sieruk says
Of course Joe Biden and his crew would quickly renew Chevron’s oli license to do business in Communist Venezuela.
This is because the leaders of Venezuela along with two other foreign anti- America states aided by some powerful American Marxist subversives install Joe Biden, by massive cheating election fraud , into the Office of the Presidency of the United States. [1]

“Abortion-Communion controversy: Pope Francis elevates bishop who defended serving pro-choice politicians”
According to FOX, this is the creep who criticized the priest who denied pelosi . Just goes to show, the pope and many of his henchmen, don’t really give a bean for what the Bible says or what Jesus Christ would say and do. they are in the business of making a soft living off those who believe they need the *guidance* of these creeps.

Why is it none of the Dem policies benefit Americans, but their foreign policies benefit foreigners at the expense of Americans?

I think with Biden compromise by his crack head son Hunter world wide dealings Biden does as he is told by his one world handlers. How long has the( famous but incompetent) FBI held on to smartest man Joe Biden knows Hunters laptop? Can anyone name one good thing Biden has done in the first 17 months in office as president?
joan_of_ark2005 says
There is ONE thing he has done REALLY well, and that is make EVERY AMERICAN FURIOUS! Because every single thing he’s done, and I mean EVERYTHING…..he’s turned it from gold to dirt that pigs would be more than happy to wallow in!! He’s done an excellent job of RUINING THIS COUNTRY, and how bad I want to slap that smile off his face!
I just went crying to my husband yesterday, and could hardly tell him what was wrong..and that was, that I was SO FURIOUS! Because I realized why so many babies were getting Hepitatis, and some even dying, because there weren’t livers to transplant into them to save them.
It was because so many American moms had to breastfeed, because Biden, that SOB, took pallets of baby formula, and had them brought to the border!! And all these moms who had taken the vaccine, now had to breastfeed, not realizing that they were giving that poison to their babies!
And if anyone doesn’t think it was the moms breastfeeding, and their vaccine that made so many babies get Hepatitis, then I want them to explain to me, how the many babies, from many different moms, from many different states, all got the same thing, at pretty the same time!!
I gotta stop there, before I start crying again…I blame that illegal president!!
Brian Bridgman says
Joe Biden and America are a disgrace in their theft of Venezuelan Oil.
We should all boycott The Chevron Oil Company as they are the actual thieves.
American behaviour seems to just get worst as the weeks move on.
wpm says
Please explain yourself how is it theft if it payed for?? Venezuelan does not have to sell America oil if it does not want to.How is the Chevron stealing oil it will pay for at market price??Venezuelan needs money badly to keep it communist government in power ,

Brian Bridgman–whom I have never seen posting here before–is full of crap. The idea that this is Chevron forcing Venezuela to trade oil–and that this is “theft”–is ludicrous. In fact, Venezuela has been desperate to trade oil; one of the only things it still exports.
Andrew Blackadder says
I thought the snowflakes in the DemocRAT Party were against the pollution that Oil Drilling causes in America, and so want to cause this environmental problem on a poor third world Nation and yet at the same time scream about being against racism…. WTF ?
The Left, Liberalism,The DemocRATS are mentally sick in every shape and form.
James Lincoln says
Andrew,
Not to mention lining the pockets of Venezuela’s communists – with their selling of oil to the United States…
OLD GUY says
And probably many of our political leaders pockets in Washington.

Limiting domestic oil hurts the medium size drillers (read middle class) while allowing foreign oil helps the large oil companies, because the little guys don’t have a deal with Venezuela. Since oil production is limited, oil prices are sky high, and big oil is making a ton of money (read their financials). At the same time, domestic producers are not allowed to pump oil, so they are not making money. It is all about robbing the middle class while serving the upper class. This is a consistent theme across all government policy from medicine to mining.
