Biden issues 60 day moratorium on federal land drilling - despite saying he would NEVER ban fracking - after killing thousands of jobs by canceling the $9BN Keystone XL pipeline

A Dem bureaucrat DOI put a 60-day moratorium on leasing and permitting on Federal land a day or two after he took office. This formalizes it. We will have to see if the order includes a ban on fracking on existing permits.

In New Mexico our idiot RadDem governor Lujan-Grisham gave her SOS address to the legislature yesterday (virtual of course) and news reports indicated that schools, closed for a year, can reopen in two week but at 50% capacity (the remainder at home with zoom trade off every other day). Mostly missed were her comments on the oil and gas leasing/permitting bans on Federal lands. She saId NM has to get past the boom and bust oil/natural gas industry (of Dems own making) by more constructing more bird killing windmills and having the legislature past recreational pot.

Yeah that’s the ticket for clueless Dem idiots - windmills and pot to replace a billion dollar a year industry where NM was on tap to be the number two producer in the nation before Biden. New estimates have 52% of NM oil production on Federal lands and over 70% of natural gas on those lands.
Going from a billion dollar surplus in 2019 to a billion dollar deficit now and continuing to get worse. Other major contributions to the NM economy is tourism (which she has shut down) and federal government largess (military, national labs and support for Indian tribes).

?Do they love massive taxes, less money, more restrictions, less freedom?”
I really think the Rat voters didn’t know what they were getting into.

I’m afraid you are correct. I can not for the life of me understand the extreme hatred that the left, and even rinos had of Trump. It was a satanic hatred. What gets me is how easily and readily they all the in to the satanic hatred. The msm no doubt is to blame e for it mostly, well, bl a med for stoking the hatred to fever pitch anyways
