The Biden administration missed another deadline to hold quarterly onshore oil drilling lease sales after a federal court ruled it was legally required to do so.
The Department of the Interior (DOI) defied the June 2021 court ruling which ordered the administration to halt its ban on new oil and gas leases, the Western Energy Alliance — a fossil fuel industry group that challenged the ban — said Wednesday. In August 2021, the DOI vowed to publish notices of competitive sales in December and hold a lease sale 45 days later, two promises it failed to keep, in court filings.
“President Biden just told the American people he’ll work like the devil to lower prices at the gas pump. But the lack of progress on federal lease sales means he’s not trying very hard,” Kathleen Sgamma, president of the Western Energy Alliance, said in a statement. “The department continues to miss deadlines, drag its feet, and ignore a judge’s ruling to hold sales.”

“IM-PEACH-Foe-dee-SiX!!
You could wish something would happen to Biden to take him out of the picture, but the problem is he is just a puppet and not really in charge anyway. So replacing him without replacing the regime doesn’t accomplish anything.
The Executive jackass has the galling audacity to claim he is going to “work like the devil” to lower gas prices then pulls this crap.
IF this were Trump, they’d be contempt of court charges filed all across the fruited plain.
But by God THEIR laws must be obeyed to the letter!!
Time to get my “I DID THIS” Biden pointing to gas pump price stickers - a lot of them!
They don’t care. Laws are only for Republicans and the little people.
Do all democrats, liberals, progressives believe in high energy prices?

In the grand scheme of things, not holding oil leases isn’t going to change supply and demand one bit in the near term
But the political message, which is what high level government is about - is amplified 100X in the minds of everyone deeply involved in the energy business.
The regime is here to stay for three more years.
Three long years of corruption, lawlessness and abuse of power.
The GOP will do nothing about it.
This is what Democrats do. If there is a court ruling they agree with them it is sacrosanct; however, it there is a ruling they don’t like, they ignore it — and the media turns a blind eye.
One may wonder why there is not more drilling on non-federal lands. The envrio-nazis are threatening actions against banks that make million dollar loans to major oil companies for drilling of new wells.
The Traitorjoe kakistocracy thinks the law doesn’t apply to them.
court order? Oh, aren’t those the things that come from Hawaii that tell Republicans what they cannot do?
Obama and Biden really like high energy prices. Their goal is to FORCE everyone into electric vehicles, before they figure out that there is not enough electric power available to power them.
Treasonous bastard.
