Biden issues a warning as he accuses oil and gas companies of ‘war profiteering’ off Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

While Biden’s rhetorical broadsides directed at oil companies and executives have been a staple of his public remarks for months, there has been a clear uptick in the White House focus in the last several weeks. That effort got an unintentional boost last week from an unlikely place: the CEO of Exxon Mobil Corp.
“There has been discussion in the US about our industry returning some of our profits directly to the American people,” Darren Woods said on the company’s third quarter earnings call, according to Bloomberg News. “That’s exactly what we’re doing in the form of our quarterly dividend.”
The White House responded a few hours later on Biden’s official
presidential Twitter account.
“Can’t believe I have to say this but giving profits to shareholders is not the same as bringing prices down for American families,” the post said.
Biden did not explicitly endorse a “windfall” tax and the specifics of what he would consider are likely to remain vague, but key congressional Democrats have pushed different “windfall” tax proposals targeting oil companies for more than a year.
Biden, however, has never thrown the weight of his administration behind the idea, which is vigorously opposed by the industry.

Jay Bookman -- then a TOP EDITOR of the Atlanta Journal/Constitution in 2010 when I confronted HIM and eleven other editors at the AJC about Christal Presley -- now Christal Trivett-Presley -- over her FAKE VETERANS CHARITY.
And CNN online FEATURED CHRISTAL, her "CHARITY" and her FAKE BOOK in TOP POSITION for THREE DAYS!!!
Jay Bookman had the author contact me -- and SHE CLAIMED that they ALL KNEW IT WAS A FAKE STORY -- but they were running it ANYWAY --because it was for a GOOD CAUSE!!!
Jay Bookman's CURRENT BLOVIATION:

Readers know that in late 2009 I had a SERIES of "VISIONS" in my Stone Mountain, GA living room -- mostly of Jackie Kennedy Onassis and JFK -- but ALSO of all of the then dead Presidents going back to George Washington. The last two included JFK, Jr. -- first as John-John saluting his father's CASKET on a CAISSON:
And in the LAST, JFK, Jr., "said", "I should have checked the ENGINE -- I KNEW the Republicans were planning to KILL ME!!!"

The FOLLOWING STORY puts me BEYOND SHOCK -- because I KNEW IN PERSON and also via LETTERS -- the TOP LEADERSHIP -- including Vicki Escara of Delta Airlines beginning about the year 2002 -- when DELTA was making money HAND OVER FIST because they owned 85% of PRICELINE -- and the other airlines were STARVING TO DEATH !!!
Instead of BUILDING A BETTER AIRLINE, they STARVED DELTA and paid it all out to the STOCKHOLDERS!!!
SOON, they were all FIRED and a far better Management Team took over.
As Readers know, my NAZI MOTHER, Ruth Anne (Meyer) Kenan, ALSO CLAIMED I had BIPOLAR I and used 31 years of FORCED LITHIUM CARBONATE MEDICATION to SHUT ME UP -- when I NEVER WAS BIPOLAR -- but have COMPLEX PTSD due to my UPBRINGING AMONG SWATIKAS and TOP REPUBLICANS -- and the TREATMENT of the CHRISTIAN POLITICIANS of Stone Mountain, Georgia and Wilmington, NC!!!
Delta paid a doctor to declare a pilot mentally ill after she spoke up. She just won big in court
