‘...They thought they ruled the world under Obama....”
That’s because their mighty messiah, Ndongo, thought he did rule the world...and still does. In reality, he’s nothing but a faded fudge stain on lady liberty’s undershorts.

It violates what is sacred ground to, and a source of subsistence for, the Gwich’in people.

Anyone actually asked the locals?

“Critics warn that oil and gas development in ANWR would wreak havoc on populations of Porcupine caribou, polar bears and migratory birds.”

They said the same thing about the Alaska pipeline. Seems the caribou LOVE the pipeline.

Sure, pipelines and oil rigs are apples and oranges, but the enviro whackjobs are wrong EVERY Time.

Besides ANWR is about the size of a postage stamp compared to the rest of Alaska.

Now it needs to be opened to homesteaders. There are only a few people who can live there, and when they die their property doesn’t go to their heirs.

You’re right on the mark.

It’s great to see them have to take some lumps instead of dishing them out.

They deserve this and a lot more.

BP just exited from producing oil and gas in Alaska. Firms are having a hard time making money drilling in the Permian Basin. I’m not sure there will be much interest in drilling in ANWR.

A federal office is advocating on behalf of a federal employee, Jeffrey Missal, in Alaska who complained about the handling of an Arctic offshore lease sale.

Missal was fired after filing a complaint with the Interior Department’s inspector general and contending that the department violated environmental regulations to facilitate Arctic oil exploration.

The U.S. Office of Special Counsel head is Henry Kerner = McCain flunky who urged the IRS’ Lois Lerner to target any conservative groups until its “financially ruinous”.

Now it all starts making sense – Deep State “Fixer”: Henry John Kerner, The Cover-Up Expert..

“The majority of Americans want this sacred area protected. And within hours of Congress taking action, the Trump administration is moving with haste to destroy it,” Rose said in a statement.

If a majority of Americans wanted that "sacred waste land" protected, then he wouldn't have to fight uphill to stop plentiful energy...
