While Energy Secretary Granholm gets most of the attention, it is the Secretary of Interior Haaland that controls all the leases of oil and gas, and more importantly the vast minerals of the U.S. My favorite gal, Interior secretary Haaland presented herself in one of the most extraordinary hearings yesterday that was worth the price of admission. Anyone who has been around Bunkerville knows she never disappoints in her utterances. Without further adieu let the ignorance begin. Sadly, all the wonderful hearings that the House has been having is get zero coverage. P.S. Biden is still drawing down our oil reserves
WATCH: Josh Hawley Flabbergasted By Answer From Deb Haaland
Here we go –
At a Senate Energy Committee hearing on Tuesday, Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND) questioned Sec. Deb Haaland about President Biden’s budget request. Haaland nailed once again.
‘Will You Comply With The Court Order?’: Hoeven Asks Haaland If They Will Continue With Lease Sales.
Haaland has not complied with the law of issuing a five year plan for leases,
Oh this is a good blast from the past!
The coup de grâce – a total disgrace.
(Hearing one month ago) – apparently not any wiser today.
A good review of our gal –
Manchin Attacks Interior Sec Haaland in Energy Hearing: ‘It shuts Everything Down!
May 20, 2022 — bunkerville
Deb Haaland, Secretary of the Interior has been flying below the radar. She has been a very busy Indian Chief dispensing heap big wampum for her fellow Indian tribes. Better yet, she was planted in her position to restrict any further energy development, period. We would know nothing about her except for a hearing yesterday.
The low point comes when Manchin shows Haaland a memo which claims what she said at the hearing when she hasn’t even spoken and essentially bans drilling and yet she claims knows nothing about nor has seen it. Why? Because the law demands leases by June 30. More from Manchin later.
The coup de grace
Interior Sec. Haaland Confronted On Anti-Energy Memo Released During Hearing: “This Shuts It Down” Manchin rocks- 11 months ago at a Senate Hearing
Interior Sec. Haaland Confronted On Anti-Energy Memo Released During Hearing: “This Shuts It Down”
Biden Interior Sec Can’t Say If It’s Better To Produce Oil In US Than Venezuela: “Not An Economist”
(11 months ago)
Keep in mind:

Biden Smuggles Corporate Green Welfare Scheme …
WASHINGTON, DC – Without any notice to the American public, the Biden Administration announced today they have entered into a critical minerals agreement with Japan that would send tax dollars to foreign corporations that produce electric vehicles (EVs) and open the door to future payouts to other countries.
Of course the topper
Biden Shuts Down 2 Nuclear Power Plants, 4 Hydroelectric Dams, 1 Refinery
Biden is still drawing down our oil reserves. The very best of the swamp.

My Gawd. Can you imagine her in Prime Minister’s questions?
Plus what SF said. And Mustang expanded on.
Okay, one does expect a higher ability to think on your feet when in her position. Mr. B was very smart and knew his subject backwards, forwards and inside out. He could think circles around most colleagues. But he was measured. No shooting from the hip. Stopped. Broke it down and addressed the answer coherently. So I’m very used to “measured.” That’s not even REMOTELY what we’re seeing here. EVASIVE is more like it. I saw her in an interview last year that “some folks still grow up not even knowing about Emmett Till.” And, worse, about Thomas Sowell. Including her, evidently.

The interesting part is that this is her third time at hearings with the expected same questions and apparently never occurred to her to do any Prep. The June 20, 2022 was a deadline defined by law. Yet, she does not comply, now under a court order to hand out leases. For some reason I caught the first one in 2022 that went on for several hours and from them on I knew her testimony was worth the price of a movie. I am sure yours was well worth the watch..

As I stated before – more – EQUITY – not qualified – but “fits the Democrat’s bill”. It is a sad state of affairs. My suggestion is – if the Democrats want equity – at least put someone in as her co-host to teach her the ropes instead of sending her out on her own to always hanging herself.
Guess I better sign off – Google is blinking the screen and that means they are going to “turn out the lights.”

I have been watching the growing threat of a “writer’s strike” with considerable interest. Normally, I tend to be on the side of the union, having worked in industry and been a union worker myself, but having watched the steadily diminishment of the quality of television programming…
I’m not talking about all the “social messaging” stuff, like Grey’s Anatomy where a female doctor is righteously performing an abortion on principle in Washington state because Texas has outlawed the procedure, and a minute later is weeping over her inability to save a baby from dying in the womb after a car accident.
No, I’m talking about prime time shows with dialog that sounds like a Victorian fantasy and plot lines that appear to have been written by a dimwitted girl in the sixth grade. I finally realized that we are looking at the result of “diversity” in hiring screen writers. You can’t hire them based on their writing ability, you have to hire based on the “intersectionality boxes” which they check off, and so you have a highly diverse writing staff which produces crap, and now they want a raise.
Every time I watch a television show that I used to enjoy, now, I think about these writiers wanting more money and how much they not only don’t deserve a raise, they don’t even deserve to keep their furshligginer jobs.
Biden’s cabinet is precisely in the same mold. Hired for their intersectionality rather than for competence, they are a mob of idiots who cannot even think coherently

Bill is correct. The problems we have in this country today are a direct result of affirmative action programs. Haaland, for example, benefits from a magnificent paying job because she is an Indian, a single mother, the daughter of a combat veteran, and obtained her law degree from a degree mill. Her law school is ranked 91 of 192* law schools in the U.S. It is unique because it teaches Indian Law.
If you observe Haaland answering Congressional questions, that’s what Indian Law is like, as well. Here’s a truth teller about Haaland’s law degree. She never bothered with the Bar exam, meaning she cannot practice law in any U.S. state. And this is the moron responsible for managing mineral and oil leases in the United States. Her annual salary is $221,000. Before that, she worked at McDonald’s. Affirmative Action — that’s the ticket. In her current assignment, Haaland is illiterate. She is no more qualified to serve as Secretary of the Interior than the Haitian is qualified to serve as White House Press Secretary — but they were both hired for the same reasons: demographics.
Now multiply this travesty times the abominable areas in our government: cabinet posts, judgeships, members of Congress, worst-performing corporations, and may, God forbid, your heart surgeon.
Who appoints cabinet officials? The president. A reminder that elections have consequences. Does the interior department affect many of us? Not directly, but with Haaland at the helm, she’s siphoning off millions to fill the pockets of the Native Indian population. That is, with tax money, of course. Money that was at one time in your pocket because you earned it.
Pathetic.
*Around two dozen law schools are ranked as tied at 147, so no law school ever gets down to number 192. Source: U.S. News & World Report.
