A new report from the Department of the Interior shows the Biden Administration has leased fewer acres of land for oil and gas drilling on federal lands and waters since former President Harry Truman in the 1940s.
The Department of the Interior has given out leases for 126,228 acres through August 20, 2022, according to analysis from the Wall Street Journal. The last president to lease out less than 4.4 million acres at this point in the first term of his presidency was Richard Nixon in 1969-1970.
“Joe Biden has been, I won’t say a closet radical, but simply a radical throughout his entire career in public service,” Larry Behrans, communications director for Power the Future, told One America News. “And so the fact that he had the reins of the federal government and is punishing American energy independence like he has is something that really should surprise no one.”

They raised the “cut” the government gets. They’ll just wait until the administration changes hands and work to get things back to normal....including killing off some of the Climate change cr**.
“Biden Leases Fewer Acres for Oil and Gas Drilling Than Any President Since 1940s”
TAKE THAT, PUTIN!!!!!
“The last president to lease out less than 4.4 million acres at this point in the first term of his presidency was Richard Nixon in 1969-1970.”
Yet ANOTHER of Nixon’s ‘gifts’ to the country. Note how 3 years later, pretty much the EXACT amount of time that oil would have flowed from this non-leased land, the Arab Oil Embargo hit. Absolute PERFECT timing.
Again utterly unconstitutional. That land is constitutionally and presumptively STATE LAND not federal land.
(See the very strict constitutional prescription regarding federal ownership of land within State boundaries and outside of Washington D.C. US Const., Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 17.)
The historical and constitutional presumption is that the federal government started with no power or ownership. The Constitution created the feds. The feds only power is limited, delegated, and enumerated by the Constitution.
So the constitutional presumption is the State owns all the land within its borders. The Left began eroding this with stealth Leftist Teddy Roosevelt’s “National Park” scheme - utterly unconstitutional. “Who cares?” is or was the common cry. Well because it has lead to this. It was the foot in the door.
How many get that or don’t get that these days?
It’s not that surprising that the deep state had a bitter senile basement dweller biden installed in the highest office in the land.
While trying their best to make Trump..who had the economy humming..and he had our enemies in check.. ineligible to run for office. By any means.
Control = POWER
Well, at least Scoldilox finally got a win. She has recently been having a rough time in Europe
Brandon is a Marxist Communist Totalitarian, surrounded by leftist extremists dedicated to the death of the Republic and Republicanism, and supporters of the Constitutional republic.
At a time when we use massively more oil and oil byproducts
than we did in the 1940s.
Joe reasons he’s returning us to the good old days.
Socialist Totalitarians do not reason.
It was supposed to be a light comment.
Joe isn’t making any rational decisions these days.
All by design. With malice aforethought.
The Communist Purge (In Many Forms) Continues To Grow Exponentially & Nothing Is Being Done About It!
