The Biden administration did not give an explanation after it missed its own deadline to plan future oil and gas lease sales Thursday.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland vowed during a Senate hearing on May 19 to issue a legally-mandated program outlining proposed offshore lease sales over the next five years by Thursday. On Wednesday, Interior Department (DOI) spokesperson Melissa Schwartz confirmed the agency was “on track” to issue the plan by Thursday, according to E&E News.
Schwartz declined to comment on the delay in response to a Fox News Digital inquiry. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
An announcement was slated to take place Thursday, but was pushed back for an unknown reason, administration officials told Reuters on Friday.
“President Biden is hell-bent on choking off American oil and natural gas production,” Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Ranking Member John Barrasso, R-Wyo., told Fox News Digital in a statement. “Now he has failed to follow the law and prepare a final five-year leasing plan by yesterday’s deadline. That means the federal government will not offer any new offshore oil and gas lease sales this year.”
The entire administration is hell-bent on destroying the country and enslaving the people.
Venezuela didn’t provide a history lesson?!

Apparently Interior Secy. Deb Haaland has taken lessons from Karamel Harris, the Border Czaress. Take on the responsibility for something and then do nothing about it!! Seems to be working for Caramel
Since this is a violation of US LAW then why is he not charged and impeached ASAP, whether the DEMOCRATS like it or not, All in the NEW WORLD ORDER plan. Without prosecution proves the Democrats will do anything to destroy the US democracy. VOTE DEMOCRAT in the next 2 elections and full fill the prophecy of the end of the world. This will also finish killing off the people, which has died from these so called pandemics and abortions. The Devil has the US in his gripes
Not to worry; the regime is reporting encouraging preliminary results drilling for electricity!
