• The Biden regime announced   that it will bar oil, gas, and geothermal development in northeastern Nevada’s Ruby Mountains for the next 20 years.


• This sweeping restriction covers an estimated 264,000 acres of federal land and effectively halts new energy exploration in the region.


• Under the guise of environmental stewardship, the regime claims the move is in response to requests from Native American tribes, conservationists, and outdoor sports enthusiasts.


• 
  
  
  


• But critics argue this is another clear example of Biden’s commitment to strangling domestic energy production in favor of appeasing radical environmentalist groups.


• The regime’s proposal begins a 90-day public comment period and triggers a two-year moratorium on new oil, gas, and geothermal leases in the area.


• The lands will remain accessible for mining activities, leading some to question the consistency of the regime’s environmental policies.

• At a speech back in September, Trump announced his intention to “get gasoline below $2 a gallon,” although De Haan believes this goal is overly ambitious.

• The Biden regime claimed today that an actor from our nation’s most formidable foreign adversary hacked the Treasury Department and gained access to workstations of government employees and unclassified documents.




• “Based on available indicators, the incident has been attributed to a China state-sponsored Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actor.”

• The letter states that a third-party software service company, BeyondTrust, informed the Treasury Department on December 8th that the ‘Chinese’ hacker had acquired a security key to infiltrate specific Treasury workstations and documents remotely.


• The Treasury Department went on to claim that it had partnered with the F.B.I., the intelligence community, and other investigators to determine the impact of the breach. The compromised service had been taken offline.


• If one believes the regime, there is reportedly no evidence that the Chinese state actor still has access to Treasury materials.
