Far-left Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, in an interview with Axios, trashed the Navajo Nation for its plight against the U.S. government over the Interior Department’s land grab of a 10-mile radius around Chaco Canyon — mandated under the Joe Biden regime.
Lujan Grisham said of the Nation, “Sometimes people assume that a sovereign nation’s interests [are] on the side of land, sacred sites, archeological issues … but sometimes it’s their own fossil fuel industry issues.”
“The governor also thinks the Biden administration’s protections for Chaco Culture National Historical Park will endure through a potential next GOP administration. But she also noted the disparate tribal views on Chaco, with the Navajo Nation opposed to the oil and gas buffer zone,” the article read.
Regarding the oil and gas industry in general, Lujan Grisham told the outlet, “For me, the debate has been about accountability. And if I can’t minimize how much is produced, it better be the cleanest … barrel of oil and the cleanest liter of gas in the world.”
The article continued, “To those who’d like to end production in New Mexico, she says: ‘Texas would still be able to get that oil out of the Permian. So if your goal is to produce less oil, you’re not doing enough about that.’”
The interview further underscores her enviro-Marxist views regarding land management and energy.
In 2019, she rammed through the state’s version of the Green New Deal, banning all oil production in the state by 2035. Every year since, she has continued an onslaught against the industry, which produces a majority of the state’s revenue in its various funds.
Despite the heavy reliance on the energy industry, Lujan Grisham, in a desperate attempt to pander to the fringe eco-leftists, has continued her relentless attacks.
Hand off, witch!!!!
“Drill, baby, drill!”
AMAZING… How much more do our indigenous people (other native born Americans) have to endure? What I’d like to see is sovereignty of our tribes, where anytime the Feds attempt to interfere in the tribes business, ON THEIR LAND, can shut the Feds down. I can only hope these tribes can break from government dependent funds, stand on their own, and tell the Feds to go jump in a lake.
LOL….
Stand your ground. You are a sovereign nation. And be ready for some backlash. Prepare.
Do Not Allow MLG or the Federales to take more tribal lands. Not one rock!
Stand Strong!!
MLG is a witch who cares nothing for the people of New Mexico, she just wants to further her agenda so she can impress the leftists of DC. She doesn’t care about the Navajo, or Chaco Canyon, certainly not for any baby which she is willing to kill even if it is born healthy. She has no redeeming character at all – greed, selfishness, and murder are the only things on her mind.
Drill,Drill,Drill
In the name of (insert any bulls*t purpose or reason here.)
We are all gonna die.
Acid rain, laser beams, ozone depletion, rain forest removal, tsunamis, sun spots, fracking, comets, ice melting, oceans rising, lead, micro plastics, excessive cow farts, earthquakes, red dye #40, tornadoes in trailer parks, volcanoes…
My God just make up anything that’ll kill us all and sell it…
Oh…! Oh…! Oh…! I got one, The earth is going to stop spinning and go stationary resulting in scorched earth on one side, frozen on the other and only small strips of livable land and water on the edges where they meet….which totally vindicates the flat earthers.
Has the far left unicorn rainbow tree hugging cow fart removing democratic politicians scared the sh*t out of you enough yet? Don’t worry they will…give them more time they will come up with something else to teach your kids…
Love all of the remarks and I agree with every one of them but guess who has the last word? We will be judged accordingly.
MLG IS NOTHING BUT HITLER SHE TRYS TO KILL EVERYTHINING SHE TOUCHES SHE IS A CROOK AND THE DEMOCRATS LACKY AND A BABYKILLER KILLING WHAT GOD MADE IN THE WOMB I WONDER IF HER MOTHER AND FATHER HAD ANY KIDS THATLIVED. I URGE THE INDAINS TO START FIGHTING BACK LIKE THE OLD WEST ATTCK THE FEDS AND MLG ALL DEMOCRATS HATE GOD AND HIS SON THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO WIPED OF THE FACE OF THE EARTH
Native American Secretary of Interior Deb Haaland also agrees with the Ice Queen on this land grab for Chaco Canyon.
It’s all part of the government 30 by 30 land grab; government ownership (control) of 30% of land and water by 2030. Stand firm Navajo nation. Be wary of every national park, monument, wilderness , refuge, … proposal.
The statements made by MLG is truly appalling but not shocking, seeing how she’s been avidly speaking against production of oil & gas in the State which elected her. I just hope she doesn’t have a valid license to drive and better yet, walks to work or rides a mule or horse everyday!
Remember, all vehicles except the electric ones are mobile ONLY by oil & gas which she opposes. Yet, her Roundhouse of elected leaders recently praised the State’s gas & oil production revenues for education and health, etc, !
MLG and the Interior Secretary Deb Holland may have fenced a buffer zone around Chaco Canyon where it’s visible so us as Dine’ Allottees and Oil & gas companies are denied access, but THEY CAN NOT EVER PLACE A BUFFER ZONE AROUND OUR HEARTS AND MEMORIES of where our Dine’ relatives were born, reared and buried!! Nope, they CAN NOT EVER DO THAT!
SHAME and more SHAME on you BOTH for making such decisions WITHOUT ANY consultation with Dine’ Allottees. We never met with either MLG or HALLAND. Their decisions to move forward with the matter of the buffer zone regardless of our Dine’ Allottees’ opposition and protest was accomplished by them arbitrarily!
