Good day all. As energy costs skyrocket, people are asking why we aren’t producing more oil? We were ramping up production end exploration under the Greatest President of the 21st Century, Donald Trump, so what is going on now? The answer is very simple.
Since the first hours after Dementia Joe Biden was installed into the Oval Office, he has been doing everything he can to shut down the energy sector, particularly oil, coal and gas production. This has led to massive increases in the costs of energy of all types, including the favorite of progressives, Unicorn Farts,
One of the things the senile idiot did was cancel all actions for new oil leases. Without those leases, oil companies can’t explore or start production. There is also the question regarding President* Bumbles Dementia’s actual legal authority to shut down the auction process. This has gone to court, and the courts have told Maladministration to open up the bidding. The maladministration is refusing to do so. Here are the details from the Daily Caller:
The Biden administration missed another deadline to hold quarterly onshore oil drilling lease sales after a federal court ruled it was legally required to do so.
The Department of the Interior (DOI) defied the June 2021 court ruling which ordered the administration to halt its ban on new oil and gas leases, the Western Energy Alliance — a fossil fuel industry group that challenged the ban — said Wednesday. In August 2021, the DOI vowed to publish notices of competitive sales in December and hold a lease sale 45 days later, two promises it failed to keep, in court filings.
They failed to keep their promises? How about they never intended to keep them in the first place? Normally, one could chalk this up to the normal incompetence of the Bumbles Dementia maladministration, however you only have to see who the Senate stupidly confirmed as Secretary of the Interior. Deb Haaland is one of the militant progressives who want to shut down the oil industry in the United States. She is in charge of the Department of the Interior and it she who is in charge and makes the decisions on the auctions. She is exactly the person who can start or stop the auctions.
“President Biden just told the American people he’ll work like the devil to lower prices at the gas pump. But the lack of progress on federal lease sales means he’s not trying very hard,” Kathleen Sgamma, president of the Western Energy Alliance, said in a statement. “The department continues to miss deadlines, drag its feet, and ignore a judge’s ruling to hold sales.”
“The Biden Administration is intent on preventing American producers from developing the energy we have at home to meet our country’s needs and lower gas prices,” Sgamma said.
Under the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, the interior secretary is required to hold lease sales “at least quarterly.”
Haaland might be required to by law, but she is also one of the Progressive “Special People” who believes that the law doesn’t apply to her. Perhaps it’s time for a little hardball and have the court hold her in contempt. She is obviously breaking the law. If she is not able to organize auctions that have been held since the 1920’s, then she should either step down or be fired. If she is doing this intentionally, perhaps being fitted for an orange jumpsuit might motivate her to do her job. Of course, this is the Dementia Joe Biden maladministration.
President Joe Biden has pushed an aggressive anti-fossil fuel agenda since taking office, nixing the Keystone XL pipeline, ditching an oil drilling project in Alaska and staying silent on a court ruling that prohibited a massive offshore drilling lease in the Gulf of Mexico. The White House has appealed to Middle Eastern and Russian energy producers for more oil and natural gas production.
Gee, for someone claiming to want to reduce energy costs, trying to prevent the development of new energy sources seems to be a bit on the counterproductive side to me. But then, it is a Biden promise. Those generally have the life span of of one of his remaining neurons.
“The oil and natural gas on federal public lands belong to the American people and could help the nation lower energy prices,” Sgamma said. “Instead, the president lobbies Russia and OPEC to boost their production while constraining American producers. As a result, gas prices remain high and the president makes empty promises.”
Biden has no interest in the American people, their welfare or their success. All he cares about is himself, and his next ice cream cone…and a puppy. Dementia Joe is completely under the thrall of the Church of Climate Change and it’s inquisitors are working to destroy the United States. On the positive side, President Dementia’s failures improve the chances of a major political realignment in November. Then we might have a chance to remove a sitting president from office for actual crimes and/or mental incompetence.

If anyone other than fedgov acted like this in the face of a court order, the jail would rapidly be filling with persons doing time on contempt charges. But the well known legal precedent of #democratgetsapass, as adjudicated in All of us vs Hillary Clinton, applies so nothing much will happen.
