The Department of the Interior is considering a 20-year withdrawal of the Ruby Mountains from future geothermal and oil and gas development, according to a news release. The area in Elko County, referred to as Nevada’s Swiss Alps, is the ancestral homeland of the Te-Moak Tribe of the Western Shoshone Indians of Nevada. It provides recreational opportunities for hunters, anglers and birdwatchers, officials said. The Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge includes a wetlands oasis for migratory waterfowl and fisheries that include trout and largemouth bass. The U.S. Forest Service submitted a withdrawal petition with Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland.

Look for Interior Secretary Deb Haaland to propose more restrictions on resource exploration and development on Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management public lands in the next three weeks. A DEI climate change fanatic, she is now obsessed with thwarting the incoming Trump administration's promise to provide cost-effective energy to the USA. "By law, the secretary of the interior can withdraw the land for a maximum of 20 years. Only Congress can legislate a permanent withdrawal." This is much too generous. Congress needs to rein in these bureaucratic powers, limiting them to the duration of the term of whatever POTUS under which the department may be serving. One interior secretary should not be able to ham-string successor interior secretaries from carrying out the agenda of whoever becomes the "current" president of the USA.

Well, of course! If the insane climate change religious crazies cannot continue to remove lots and lots of productive energy producing lands from use, how can they possibly create REAL energy shortages, and force REAL energy prices up high enough that their fake "green energy" crap can be somewhere near economically viable? The only way that 'green energy' has any chance is if, by law, huge swaths of REAL energy are forced off of the market. This is their long term game. NO real energy, oil, gas, nuclear, etc. is to be permitted, leaving us only with the sad, intermittent and very, very expensive solar and wind crap, fake, "green energy". Fraud, corruption and greed - the actual basis for "green energy", which is neither green or actually very useful energy.

Give the tribes a cut of the deals and I'll bet they suddenly find they're against the proposal. Trump needs to declare a state of emergency for energy production too. The electrical grid isn't anywhere near capable of handling the needs of today much less what they want from AI energy demands.

If there is one lesson to be learned from the past two, or three administrations it is that anything that is done by the government today can be undone by the government tomorrow...

If it is done by one Interior Secretary, it can be undone by the next one. Only laws and treaties have any sort of 'permanency' and even they can be overturned, although with more difficulty. Any of these Executive Branch actions is like writing on a whiteboard.....erase it and start over with a new President.

Note to Illana Williams - the US Forest Service is NOT an agency under the control of the Department of Interior, but rather the Department of Agriculture. Not that the USDA under the Biden regime is any better than Interior, but get your facts correct.

Native American tribes don’t need more, protected land. They need to be able to access the resources on the land they already occupy. The BIA and the BLM hold all the cards as far as development and refuse to allow the Indian populations to develop the wealth of resources those lands hold. This is the main source of poverty on reservations. It turns out the US government still is in complete control (except for the few casinos they allow) and continues its treacherous dealing with the Native American tribes.

The uncle of Las Vegas Cybertruck bomber Matthew Livelsberger said his nephew was a “Rambo-type” patriot who loved his nation and President-elect Donald Trump. Dean Livelsberger, an Air Force veteran, said he was shocked to learn that his nephew was identified as the man who allegedly detonated a Tesla Cybertruck filled with explosives outside the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas. “He used to have all patriotic stuff on Facebook, he was 100% loving the country,” Dean told The Independent.

he highly decorated U.S. Army soldier inside the Tesla Cybertruck that burst into flames outside President-elect Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel shot himself in the head before the explosion and likely planned to cause more damage but the steel-sided vehicle absorbed much of the force from the rudimentary explosive, officials said Thursday. Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill said at a news conference that a handgun was found at the feet of the man in the driver's seat, who officials believe is Matthew Livelsberger, 37, of Colorado. The shot appeared to be self-inflicted, officials said.

Sources familiar with the plan have revealed that Biden’s order will leverage a 72-year-old law—the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act—to solidify protections that are notoriously difficult to reverse, Bloomberg reported.

NEW ORLEANS - Authorities held a press conference Thursday morning (Jan. 2), providing updates on the Bourbon Street terror attack that claimed the lives of 14 victims and injured 35 others early New Year’s Day. FBI Deputy Director Christopher Raia confirmed that 14 victims died in the attack, along with the suspect, Shamsud Din Jabbar, bringing the total to 15 fatalities. “This was a premeditated, evil act,” Raia told reporters. Officials revealed that Jabbar posted five videos between 1:20 a.m. and 3:02 a.m. on New Year’s Day, proclaiming support for ISIS. In the first video, Raia says Jabbar expressed a desire to kill his friends and family, but ultimately desired

After Shamsud-din Jabbar’s New Orleans attack turned a New Year’s celebration into violent tragedy, the Federal Bureau of Investigation continues to show why it has forfeited the trust of the American people. Jabbar affixed an ISIS flag to the pickup he drove at high speed into a crowd of revelers, killing at least 14 people. Yet the FBI at first refused to call the attack what it plainly was: terrorism. That’s even though it arrested a shocking 10 ISIS would-bes in 2024 alone, thankfully before they were able to carry out any attacks — including a 17-year-old in Arizona. “This is not a terrorist event,”
