An oversight hearing by the U.S. Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources gave U.S. Rep. Harriett Hageman, R-Wyoming, a window to again grill Bureau of Land Management leadership about a policy in which the agency won’t allow oil and gas drilling to proceed on any leases on the lands it manages if those leases are involved in litigation with environmental groups. 

This was not a policy ordered by any courts, but allows those groups to maliciously stop oil and gas projects simply by filing lawsuits, whether they have merit or not, Hageman said.

As the crow flies, Wyoming is 6,620 miles from Guam. Even so, U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman wants Wyoming residents to consider the 210-square-mile island and others like it in the Pacific and Indian oceans as the front door to American security interests.

She told Cowboy State Daily this week that China’s aggression toward them these island nations could be a sign of possible action toward the United States is one of the few topics in Congress on which both Democrats and Republicans agree.

Jim Banks (R-IN) led a letter Wednesday to the Biden Administration as it takes steps to retaliate against universities for discriminating against individuals desiring to be addressed with outlandish “woke” pronouns.

New Mexico Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham claims that she ordered a 30-day ban on carrying guns in Albuquerque and the surrounding Bernalillo County because a recent rash of shootings there amount to a public health emergency.

But the weekend move is “patently unconstitutional” and probably won’t stand up to legal challenges, University of Wyoming law professor George Mocsary told Cowboy State Daily on Monday.

Pay for performance is a popular concept, where those who do their jobs well get raises while those who don't have their pay cut.

That’s the model U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyoming, said she supports for U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas for his poor handling of the southern border crisis. If she had her way, his annual salary would be slashed to $1.

I am grateful to serve as President for the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union, whose mission of education includes assuring consumers can make fair choices on where their food products are grown or raised. In this role, I represent over 15,000 family farmers and ranchers from Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico.

Our member-led policy makes it exceptionally clear that we support clear and transparent labeling within our food supply. When shopping for their families, consumers expect an easy and accurate way to determine where their food comes from.

Wyoming’s lone U.S. House representative has co-sponsored a one-sentence bill that would eliminate the federal Department of Education by Dec. 31.  

Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyoming, announced Wednesday that she “proudly co-sponsored” House Resolution 899.  

Backed entirely by Republican lawmakers and sponsored by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Kentucky, the bill is just one sentence long and proposes to “terminate” the U.S. Department of Education by the end of this year.
