For the first time in decades, many Americans are now experiencing a widespread gasoline shortage after a major pipeline went down due to a catastrophic cyberattack.
As Newsweek reports:
People in Southeastern states have taken to Twitter to share pictures and videos of long lines at gas stations, with some reportedly running out of gas entirely.
Colonial Pipeline reported on Friday that a ransomware cyberattack had affected some of its systems. The Georgia-based company, which delivers about 45 percent of the East Coast’s fuel, then shut down operations as a precautionary measure.
On Monday, the company said it was in the process of restarting some of its network and insisted that there was no fuel shortage.
Gas shortages. LITERAL gas shortages. Happening right now. In the USA.

U.S. officials have also sought to alleviate concerns about price spikes. “Right now, there is not a supply shortage,” Deputy National Security Advisor Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall said at a White House briefing on Monday.
But if you only consumed liberal media however you wouldn’t know there were any supply issues at all for gas, no less widespread shortages as their websites and news programs have been mostly bare of any coverage of the issue.
This is so bizarre. I’ve called 10 gas stations around Asheville and not a single one has gas. One person laughed at me when I asked. And yet nothing on current gas shortages on NPR and most other national news sites. How is this not the biggest story in the US right now???

Thanks Pres. Obiden!
This is just the beginning…. just wait until obiden’s third year….
Hopefully he is turning into oil by then. The tar pits need replenishing.
Nothing to see here just the beginning of the Socialist States of America. Brought to you by Sleepy Joe and the useless Ho….
The commiecrats schemed with Russia to harm our energy supply
China Joe Biteme and his CCP/Dominion friends are a pipeline’s worst enemy.
The Media is covering for the Buffoon and is inept handling of this situation. HI TECH is in the mix and hell know what they are up to anymore since they got away will censoring political speech in the 2020 election they have become emboldened whit this regime who benefited from their collusion with the democrat party.
I believe in the Navy, if it happens on your watch, you are responsible. COVID happened on Trump’s watch and lamentably many held him accountable. Well, this happened on Biden’s watch, so he should be held accountable. Whether Biden is truly at fault remains to be seen, but in retrospect, Trump may have done all he could with COVID.
As to what happens in the next three years, all I can say is I hope you have your sea legs and are ready for a fight.
Imagine, if you will, a gas AND food shortage.
Thanks to the weakling Biden the US is suffering . He shuts down the big pipeline and puts thousands out of work. Now we have to pay high gas prices to go to work. Biden could care less about We The People. He probably doesn’t even know what he’s doing only his puppet masters do. How very sad!! What’s he going to do about cyber attacks? Nothing as usual.
OK ALL YOU “FEDERAL SLUTHES” WHO DID THIS DASTERDLY ACT AND WHY ARE THEY STILL WALKING AROUND BREATHING OUR OXYGEN? IT IS AN ORGANIZATION OF HACKERS HERE IN THE USE AND NEEDS TO BE ERADICATED BY ANY MEANS AND THERE EQUIPMENT AND PROGRAMS DESTROYED IMMEDIATELY! THEY HAVE ALREADY DECLARED THAT THEY DID THIS! TWENTY YEARS TO LIFE ON THIS ONE!
My God, look what biden/harris is doing??? EVERY DAY IT’S SOMETHING NEW FROM THESE COMMUNISTS, AND NONE OF IT GOOD!!! HE AND HIS WITCH ARE TRULY SCREWING US UP, THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES, NOT AMERICANS, THE IDIOT IS PAYING REPARATIONS TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, THIS IS SO FAR OUT OF CONTROL, THIS COMMUNIST REGIME HAS TO GO NOW!!!
Election of a senile Democrap PUTZ like sleepy Joe Biden to be the US Chief Executive, with zero management or executive experience!
What did you expect, as Joe was one out of a hundred in the US Senate and always wrong?
The report is about DarkSide, ransomware and hacking. I can’t even find the words in the comments people are making. So much anger. If I wrote an article about Lollypop sticks can be dangerous, the comments would probably talk about Biden‘s destroying America, the globalists, a commicrat plot! Republicans support of more aggressive solutions is what we should be urging.
Yep another failure by a failing President. Conservatives are not surprised. The main stream media again covering for the fool in the White House. It makes them look even more foolish.
2022 is looming.
The gas shortage won’t concern Obiden in the least. He’s all about open, unregulated borders, enforcing spurious mask rules, packing the Supreme Court, and subjecting law abiding American citizens to the World Court. The peons who work for a living will just have to tough it out whilst the demented poser-in-Chief attends to his one-world agenda and undoing everything that (the real) President Trump put into place.
Go ACO little idiot Green New Deal . Sleepy Joe allowed it because little dummy ACO let the creepy old man sniff her hair. What a circus !
LMAO…
NOW IS THE TIME THAT BIDENS DESTRUCTION WILL START TO SHOW….!! THIS IS NOTHING…..THERE IS A LIT MORE THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LIKE?????? IF AMERICANS DO NOT STAND TOGETHER AND FIGHT THESE PROBLEMS……BY NEXT YEAR YOU WILL BE TALKING COMMUNIST?????? ASK YOURSELF…..WHY HAS NO ONE STOPPED THE FRAUDS???????
Biden will have plenty of excuses; This is a Private sector issue…The Covid-19 is responsible…it’s Trump’s fault….shutting down the keystone pipeline has nothing to do with gasoline…etc etc…….as usual, he will lie about it, and Psaki will swear his lies are the truth, or she’ll be circling back…I’m sure the people who have run out of gas and can’t find any to buy and happy with Biden and the Media telling them there is no problem…just like there’s no crisis at the Southern Border……just TRUST Them……..HEY MAN! Tell the truth for a change.
It’s only been a few months and I’m already sick of the lapdog media letting Biden skate on every mess he’s making.
Joe Biden has been on the wrong side of nearly every American public policy issue for the past 50 years. Did people really think that would change once he became President? Wake up and smell the coffee. During the campaign, Joe Biden promised moderation, bipartisanship and unity, but he is handing us the polar opposite. We have increasing gas lines, shortages and higher prices at the pump in 2021 like the Carter Administration in the late 1970s.
Stuff like this will become common place under the Joe Biden presidency.
Does anyone with half a brain not realize this “cyber attack” was planned by the current administration?
Time to ground Air Force one and two due to lack of fuel!
