Remember when the tribal leaders were “optimistic” about Joe Biden and overwhelmingly voted for him?
The honeymoon is already over for the Ute Indian Tribe in Utah.
Joe Biden wasted no time destroying tens of thousands of jobs his first day in office by canceling the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.
Biden also put a 60-day moratorium on new oil and natural gas leases and drilling permits on federal lands and states in the west and southwest are furious.
The Ute Indian Tribe in Fort Duchesne, Utah blasted the Biden Administration’s restrictions on federal energy development.
“Your order is a direct attack on our economy, sovereignty, and our right to self-determination. Indian lands are not federal public lands. Any action on our lands and interest can only be taken after effective tribal consultation,” Luke Duncan, Chairman of the Ute Indian Tribe Business Committee wrote in a letter to Acting Secretary of the Interior.
Mr. Duncan accused the Biden Administration of violating the US Treaty and trust responsibilities to the Ute Indian Tribe and violating the “important principles of tribal sovereignty and self-determination.”
OUCH.
“The Order must be withdrawn or amended to comply with Federal law and policies,” Duncan wrote.

Hey, they handed them out gift cards to vote?
What’s the problem?
Custer style, that is!
Pass the feathers and face paint!
It’s only the third full day of his term, and already it’s popcorn time.
Oh! These are the ones they gave the cards too? I thought that was in New Mexico.
That history repeating thingy is bell ringing in my ear?
Guess who’s in bed with Big Energy besides Hunter?
The commie front Indians make a big deal about it and hit all the right white guilt buttons about sacred land etc...
Commies have always pushed against pipelines using whatever tactics and ruses they can.
Yeah, and I bet all those scratchers you got were losers, too, huh? That’s what you get for being a cheap date.
Oil and gas royalties are how those tribes get by. Shifting that money overseas is...America Last.
Not even a full week on the job and Biden has already pissed off Canada and now an Indian nation. Sweet.
Yes. Also, the USA cut them off from Oil and scrap metal shipments. Very poor long term strategy on so many levels.
[Wasn’t one of the major causes of Japan’s declaration of war was the restrictions to their ability to obtain natural resources needed for economic sovereignty?]
Yes!
DANG!
I’ll remember to gloat when I get me some $3 gasoline tomorrow.

21 Jan: Edmonton Sun: Protesters win, everyone else (including environment) loses in Keystone XL cancellation
by Lorne Gunter
Even if the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to Nebraska is never built — which now seems a certainty — the oil will still be extracted from the ground.
It will still be transported to North American and world refineries. Its carbon dioxide will still be emitted.
Indeed, it is entirely possible that by cancelling the pipeline, as new U.S. President Joe Biden did on his first day in office on Wednesday, he has actually increased the emissions that will be released getting Canadian oilsands oil to market.
Rail transportation is more “emissions intensive” than delivery by pipeline...
All the protesters and anti-oil politicians have succeeded in doing is killing 20,000 to 30,000 jobs in Canada and the United States...
A consortium of four Canadian First Nations, for instance, is out as much as $700 million in Keystone investments thanks to Biden’s move.
Thousands of members of at least four major U.S. trade unions will miss out on about three years of well-paid work...

22 Jan: Breitbart: Biden Kills Up to 70,000 Jobs on First Day in Office
by Joel B. Pollak
Biden revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, as promised. In so doing, he killed some 11,000 direct jobs that the pipeline’s construction was to have created, and an estimated 60,000 indirect jobs in secondary, related industries...
Moreover, on Thursday, the Biden Administration announced that it had suspended oil and gas permits on federal land Wednesday. It is unclear how many jobs that will cost — but the outlook is not good...
