Republican U.S. House Natural Resources Committee leaders have escalated an ongoing investigation into Joe Biden’s Interior Secretary Deb Haaland regarding her connections to the left-wing environmental activist group Pueblo Action Alliance (PAA).

A letter sent to Secretary Haaland and the top Interior Department ethics official, Heather Gottry, and spearheaded by Natural Resources Committee Chairman Bruce Westerman, R-Ark., raises concerns about a potential “lack of impartiality and misuse of her position” in support of PAA and certain family members. Haaland’s daughter has been involved with PAA, while her husband has been engaged in consulting work related to Interior Department actions.

The GOP letter asserts that there is evidence suggesting Secretary Haaland may not have acted impartially and may not have avoided creating an appearance of partiality in her official duties. It further alleges that Haaland may have misused her position to benefit the non-profit organization Pueblo Action Alliance and even used her position, title, and authority to endorse the organization’s work.

The letter highlights that prior to her role as Secretary of the Interior, Haaland was associated with the origins of PAA.

The investigation was initiated by Chairman Westerman in June, shortly after Secretary Haaland implemented a ban on fossil fuel leasing within 10 miles of the Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico. This move garnered opposition from local Native Americans and residents but received support from other tribes and environmental groups.

The Pueblo Action Alliance had previously advocated against new leasing near Chaco Canyon, with Haaland’s daughter, Somah, playing a role in lobbying on behalf of the group during a trip to Washington, D.C.

The investigation raises concerns about Secretary Haaland’s impartiality in matters involving PAA and the potential misuse of her position for the benefit of the organization.

Along with her anti-fossil fuel regulations, she officially took action to rename geographical landmarks having Indian names that she believes are derogatory and racist to Native Americans. US changes names of nearly 650 places with racist Native American women term

Over time, the word morphed into a misogynist and racist term to disparage indigenous women, experts say.

Ah, the old “experts say.” I hate that. Which experts? What is their area of expertise? What are their credentials?

I just remember, how Trump’s appointments were haunted for supposed financial mishaps.
Getting some used mattress from somebody or flying first class were reasons for dismissals.
But massive corruption of Biden’s cabinet, that’s OK.

And sadly the lumps of Biden voters who have not seen a thing the last few years are still in denial ,, I’m a bit apathetic at this point and they will be the dust I shake from my boots soon
