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.

Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., told Newsmax on Monday that when it comes to the allegations of corruption by President Joe Biden and his family, the job of the House is to build a case and present the evidence to the American public, which is essentially the jury.

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.  

A group of Senate and House Republicans introduced companion bills that would force the federal government to factor potential adverse effects into energy policy decisions.
