Federal judge blasts Biden officials for appearing to weaponize wildlife protection laws to block drilling

A federal court struck down the Biden administration's last-minute restrictions on an upcoming offshore oil and gas lease sale in a ruling late Thursday evening.

Judge James Cain of the Western District of Louisiana granted a preliminary injunction request from plaintiffs — the State of Louisiana, industry association American Petroleum Institute (API) and oil companies Chevron and Shell — to block the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's (BOEM) restrictions on Lease Sale 261. The lease sale spanning millions of acres across the Gulf of Mexico is slated for next week.

Of all the stupid [BLEEP] idiotic buzzwords to ebb and flow through the political landscape - this one has got to be the stupidest and most commonly misused piece of [BLEEP] I've ever seen since DeSantis completely [BLEEP] over what "woke" means by applying it to anything he felt like being a whining little [BLEEP] about.

Also - A Dem Prez wants to do something environmentally conscious?? 
Oh, My! 
Shocker!! 

Total [BLEEP] non-story 

This [BLEEP] happens 30 times a year.
