‘Sue And Settle’: Biden Admin Agrees
To Cancel Oil And Gas Drilling After Settling
With Eco Activists

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 9/13/2022 5:21:40 PM

The Biden administration will stop oil and gas drilling on more than 58,000 acres of federally-issued land after reaching a legal settlement with environmental activist groups on Sept. 6. The Interior Department’s (DOI) Bureau of Land Management (BLM) agreed to halt drilling permits on 113 oil and gas leases across 58,617 acres of land in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota, according to the settlement. The DOI agreed to stop drilling after a coalition of environmental nonprofits led by WildEarth Guardians and the Sierra Club filed a lawsuit against the agency in January 2021.

This "coalition of environmental nonprofits" needs to learn to do without any petroleum products in their lives. Let them set an example if they think it is such a good thing. I hope they are "animal rights" or "plants rights" activists too. I am pretty sure we don't want to see their starving skeletons without clothes.

The Sierra Club is a woke communistic satanic organization. This is setting the stage for $10+/gal gas and diesel.

It should be against the law for the Fed's to settle any suits out of court. This is essentially legislating by the parties with a common interest. Suits against the Fed's should be required to go to trial.

Just as the feds are making and enforcing fraudulent policies regarding Covid19, as witnessed by their recent backing of of numerous vaccination imperatives, so too are they basing their policies on oil drilling on federal lands on the wholly fraudulent junk science that correlates fossil fuels to global warming. Until the climate "experts" asserting such junk science are able to history match and model the last two dozen ice ages, each of which was followed by an interglacial warming period, their models are worthless. Is the earth warming at present? Certainly...in a continuation of the same warming trend that thawed out the last ice age about 14,000 years ago. The climate fruitcakes have no credible science to support their fraudulent notion that mankind's burning of fossil fuels has had any effect on that trend.

What would happen if the oil companies went onto to their leaseholds and started drilling operations? Is the land fenced and guarded by federal agents? Who would know? Who would stop them? What if the oil companies stood up to the feds like the Bundy family did? What if the oil companies acted like Americans and said, "We've got legal leasehold rights and we're using them. Stop me, Commie."

BTW Didn't the U.S. Supreme Court just rule that a Federal Bureau (of the Govt.) can't be ordering someone outside of Congress making a law? So the BLM has no POWER or RIghts to stop drilling on federal lands that already have oil and gas leases!!!

The New York Times faced yet another wave of backlash over its coverage of Queen Elizabeth's funeral, with readers now threatening to end their $17-a-month subscriptions. In its latest story on Wednesday, the Times reported that the British taxpayers would front the bill of the funeral costs, which will reportedly cost more than $6 million. The story labeled it a 'hefty price tag' amid rampant inflation in Britain, but readers were unamused by the article as they slammed the tone of the reporting regarding the late monarch of 70 years.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) sent two planeloads of migrants to Martha's Vinyard on Wednesday. Video showing the arrival of the planes was obtained by Fox News, which also reported a statement from the governor's office. Roughly 50 migrants, including children, arrived at Martha’s Vineyard Airport in Massachusetts, according to the Martha's Vineyard Times. The effort appears to be part of Republican states' efforts to bring increased attention to the migrant crisis, most notably seen by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), who has bused migrants to the Democratic-run cities of New York, Washington, D.C., and Chicago.

Hunter Biden is trying to get his child support payments for his 4-year-old love child lowered by claiming a substantial change to his “financial circumstances,” according to court documents. President Biden’s son, 52, has asked an Arkansas judge to recalculate the child support payments he makes to Lunden Roberts, 31 — the mother of the daughter he’s never met, according to a Monday court filing obtained by the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette. Hunter cited “a substantial material change” in his “financial circumstances, including but not limited to his income” for the reason behind his request.

While each took a different approach, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC worked Wednesday to isolate President Biden from blame for the pitiful August inflation report showing it came out to 8.3 percent (when the predicted number was 8.1 percent) with energy, food, and rent still soaring. Instead, some of them trumpeted Biden’s “positive spin” and that he’s “not worried about” it while one ignored Biden completely.

It is going to be hard to forget the spectacle of President Joe Biden “celebrating” the passage of his woefully-named Inflation Reduction Act while the stock market plummeted in real time, dropping nearly 1,300 points Tuesday while Biden crowed about his great achievement. The cable news clips were surreal. There was old man Biden, shaking his fist and shouting at the sky, while in the corner of the screen the Wall Street tracker kept ticking down, stocks plunging in reaction to persistent and worsening inflation. Even CNN had to interrupt coverage of Biden’s remarks to note that the stock market was tanking.

The migrant crisis is worsening in the Texan town of El Paso and conditions have now worsened to near breaking-point. Over 1,000 illegal migrants were released onto the streets of the border town as officials are no longer able to cope with the continual influx of people. The migrants, who are predominantly from Venezuela, were “street releases” by Border Patrol as all the shelters and facilities in the area are already overwhelmed. Conditions on the streets are dire, and hundreds of migrants are having to sleep in makeshift accommodation outside residential homes and businesses. “We’ve never seen anything like this,” GOP congressman Tony Gonzalez told the New York Post.

On Tuesday, Ryan called for voters to “kill and confront” the MAGA movement even as more than 3.1 million Ohioans voted for Trump in the 2020 election and more than 2.8 million voted for him in the 2016 election. “How do we fix all of these broken systems? Some of those answers will come from Republicans, not the extremists that we are dealing with every single day.

Christianity has remained at the forefront of the nation's political and social conversations for centuries — but new research shows that could be changing. A new report by Pew Research Center and the General Social Survey published on Tuesday found that the large numbers of people in the U.S who practice Christianity are declining. The religion's demographic has been dwindling since the 1990s, the report said, as many adults transition to an identity of atheist, agnostic or "nothing in particular." In the early '90s, about 90% of people in the U.S. identified as Christians, the report said. In 2020, Christians accounted for about 64%
