This one was a tough one to put out – Google fought me all the way in this way with words. And, to think I am paying them to use this sight and they treat their customers in this fashion. Wonder if they will ever change? I know that their leader promised they would stop interfering with our words; but, I guess they haven’t got the message, yet?

Schumer states – THE DEMOCRATS ARE INSANE which includes Schumer/Biden. If they are insane – why are they being allowed to make any decisions? Look at the debt and crazy decisions the left has made and the world continues to treat him as if he has all of his marbles.

I guess the world has gone crazy, too!

Joe Biden’s time in the White House is winding down. 

He’s giving Democrats more heartburn on his way out the door. 

And Joe Biden gave one insane reason for a bad decision that left Democrats in disbelief. 

Biden administration cites “indigenous knowledge” to stop oil drilling in Alaska 

President Joe Biden declared war on American energy production on his first day in the White House. 

The Biden administration has spent the last four years trying to stop mining and oil drilling in Alaska. 

Oil drilling was halted on tens of millions of acres of land in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A), oil and gas leases signed during the Trump administration were canceled, and Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stopped a major mining project in the state. 

Biden administration officials would justify these decisions as protecting the environment and helping the Native American communities in Alaska. 

Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland cited “Indigenous Knowledge” in a decision to halt oil drilling on 13 million acres in NPR-A. 

“President Biden is delivering on the most ambitious climate and conservation agenda in history,” Haaland claimed. “The steps we are taking today further that commitment, based on the best available science and in recognition of the Indigenous Knowledge of the original stewards of this area, to safeguard our public lands for future generations.”

The Biden administration likes to claim it’s making decisions in the best interest of Alaska’s Native American tribes and relying on “Indigenous knowledge,” but that isn’t the case. 

Alaska’s Native American tribes upset over Biden’s war on energy

Voice of the Arctic Inupiat President Nagruk Harcharek represents Native American communities in the North Slope of Alaska. 

He told the Daily Caller that the Biden administration ignored his group’s pitch for the benefit that energy production brought to the area. 

“I started here in 2022. The first thing I did was try to get in there and make sure our voices were heard, because what we’re hearing from the administration is that we’re the most tribally-friendly administration in the history of the United States, right?” Harcharek explained. “At least from our perspective, that’s not our impression.”

Harcharek expressed frustration that Native Americans weren’t consulted on what was good for the environment and the North Slope. 

“We’ve always tried to stress that we are part of the environment. We utilize it for subsistence hunting, for our culture, and it’s extremely important to us. We don’t need to be protected from our own environment,” Harcharek said. “We can make decisions and help administrations make decisions that are both good for the region and also good for the environment and good for the state, good for the nation.”

He would discover what was happening in Alaska from the news instead of the Biden administration. 

“That just wasn’t the case. There was a lack of engagement, meaningful engagement,” Harcharek stated. “Oftentimes, we heard of policy changes in the news and not from phone calls from folks, even though everybody has our number.”

Voice of the Arctic Inupiat tried to meet with Secretary Haaland nine times but only managed to secure one meeting. 

“Sometimes we didn’t even get a response from those emails, so saying that they’re the most tribally-friendly and then not speaking to most of our tribes or us in a timely manner or a meaningful manner, the just question is, who are you? Who considers you the most tribally friendly organization? Because it sure isn’t us, or we’re not getting that sentiment,” Harcharek added. 

The Biden administration used phony support for Native Americans as cover for a war on energy production.
