In a continuation of my questions for Interior Secretary Haaland, she admitted that she both did not know the recovery criteria under the Endangered Species Act for the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem grizzly population (which was 600-700) and the number alive in the population (over 1100).
With numbers nearly double the required amount under the Endangered Species Act, we must ask: why are Yellowstone grizzlies still listed as endangered? Furthermore, why does Secretary Haaland not know her department's findings?
For 5 minutes I asked Interior Secretary Haaland critical, direct, relevant questions about issues under her purview; questions about coal leasing, pending coal projects, energy prevalence, and so many more issues vital to our nation's existence.
Every question was met with met with an inadequate or incomplete response.
While the Left decried conservatives for years for not "following the science" about COVID – some of which was in contention by scientists themselves – they now disregard a fact as old as humanity itself: boys are boys, and girls are girls.
Millenia of scientific research (and common sense) have proven time and time again that there are clear biological differences between genders, and one's feelings of what they are cannot change that. We must protect women's sports, for the sanctity of women's opportunities to excel and for the safety of our children.
Biden's human trafficking operation continues to grow, and rivers of narcotics like fentanyl run unabated into our nation.
No community is spared from the disastrous effects of this administration's failed border policies, and until our border is secured, crime will continue to rise and overdose deaths will rob families of their loved ones.
Congressional panels about our nations resources typically fall into two camps: hard working Americans who provide the fundamental building blocks that create a flourishing society, and academics and government bureaucrats who seek to prevent the use of valuable resources and land that could make peoples lives better.
20% of US energy comes from coal, and 40% of American coal comes from Wyoming. Without coal, the lights don't come on, yet this industry which regularly requires dozens of trains per day has dropped by millions of tons due to failures of trains to arrive.
Coal is not the only area crippled by this continuing transportation failure. Bentonite, trona, soda ash, and even agriculture in Wyoming is dependent on rail service, and failure to resume normal operation levels will result in Americans and international consumers finding these resources from other places, such as China.
Violent crime is pervading across our nation, and in few places is this sickness more visible than metropolitan centers like New York City. Inanimate objects like guns and knives aren't the perpetrators of these horrific acts of violence, but people. People who are experiencing psychosis, who are on drugs, who have been propagandized in schools, or who simply have chosen to do evil.
Mr. John Sauer said it best in today's @USHouseJudiciaryGOP hearing: the promise of the First Amendment is that no official, high or petty, should dictate what American's do or what they should believe.
Instead of asking questions, I decided just let him talk. I think all of America deserves to hear what he said.
Healthcare centers on tribal lands have traditionally been underfunded and understaffed; often the buildings are severely rundown and equipment is unable to address the needs of those seeking medical services.
Members of Congress must work together to equip the Indian Healthcare Service with much needed equipment and staff to provide much-needed care to those in need of it.
I have fought for Wyoming's water rights and represented irrigation districts and farmers for decades. Nearly every major water reclamation act has been met with negativity and criticism by naysayers and academics, yet history has shown the value and economic impact of these projects across the board.
