President Trump has announced the nomination of North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum to head the Department of the Interior and also Chairman of a newly formed cabinet-level National Energy Council (energy Czar).
[Source]
Very interesting move, not in the appointment of Burgum, but in the duality of a method to tear apart the Dept of Interior Silo.
As the American people are starting to become aware of a return to civics, the President of the United States has absolute power within the Executive branch and absolute immunity for everything he defines as an official act of his office.
By appointing Burgum as the Interior Secretary and simultaneously the appointed energy-sector representative of the president, carrying the full weight and authority therein, there is no way for the institutional bureaucracy of the climate change officials inside the agency to block any changes decreed by President Trump within the mandate of the Energy Czar.
Secretary Burgum will sit at the top of the Dept of Interior organization, AND Czar Burgum will sit inside every agency, office, and subsidiary department that has anything to do with “American Energy” production/regulation.
A very strong power move. I like it.
Burgum would lead a new National Energy Council comprising all agencies and departments involved in the production, regulation and transportation of “ALL forms of American Energy.” … “This Council will oversee the path to U.S. ENERGY DOMINANCE by cutting red tape, enhancing private sector investments across all sectors of the Economy, and by focusing on INNOVATION over longstanding, but totally unnecessary, regulation.”

A newcomer would think the Administration had been planning this rollout long before the election. Now that is a very comforting thought!
Burgum also sold a big chunk of ND to China, so that should make for some interesting explorations in 2025
Basically, Burgum is one post / truth away from being exposed as as traitor, like most for the deep state appointees
weird mix this admin
hard core MAGA loyalists and deep staters on a very short leash

Our lives, the curtain has lifted and we ain’t never going under again!!!
SALSA
Perhaps the same approach for the out-of-control Department of Woke Education? Colorado’s former Congressman Tom Tancredo would be an excellent pick to begin dismantling from within!
Tancredo stepped into the governor’s race in 2010 and crushed our only hope for a solid conservative governor of Colorado – Dan Maes. Tancredo is a deep-state RINO and traitor to not only Colorado but to the country. It was because of him that Hickenlooper won the governorship in 2010 and now we have to put up with his dumb a$$ in the senate.
This is great. Burgum is a very smart man and he was a great campaign asset. Maybe he can end the carbon capture pipeline scam.
Cancel my comment. Burgum has been supportive of the carbon capture pipeline scam in North Dakota.

North Dakota approves Summit carbon pipeline route
North Dakota regulators on Friday approved a route permit for the Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline, a significant win for what the company says is the world’s largest carbon capture project.
The three-person Public Service Commission voted unanimously to approve the pipeline permit. The commission had denied Summit a route permit in 2023, but changes the company made to its route helped convince the commission to reverse its position.
Summit plans to put 333 miles of pipeline through North Dakota, part of a 2,500-mile network of pipelines in five states. The pipelines are planned to connect 57 ethanol plants, including Tharaldson Ethanol at Casselton, to an underground carbon storage site west of Bismarck.
:
Summit announced its plans in 2021 and had hoped to begin construction in 2023, but has faced pushback from some landowners and several legal challenges as it has tried to obtain the needed permits.
Supporters view the project as vital to helping the ethanol industry compete in low-carbon fuel markets. Ethanol is a key market for corn growers.
Opponents cite safety concerns, damage to farmland and property values and an infringement on property rights. Some landowners also have complained about Summit’s business practices.
Intelligent business people & those concerned about their state’s economy are ALWAYS looking long term.
Pathway for fossil fuels was never abandoned.
Outside the Box thinkers are usually the Leaders
Ruining farm land and threatening to take land via eminent domain is not good for citizens.
Especially for ethanol, which is an engine-damaging scam.
Sequestering C02 when we are at starvation levels of the plant food gas already is total insanity.
Isn’t this is direct opposition to the referendum the people passed to stop the carbon pipeline?
A spokesman for Summit stated that they planned to go forward with the project. Well, I guess so.
Tar. Feathers. Pitchforks. Torches.
Does NOBODY on his recruiting staff have a damn checklist of irrevocable deal-breakers that would automatically disqualify ANY CANDIDATE, for ANY POSITION, no matter what??
I’m appalled at this shallow bench of mediocre, compromised candidates. Do they all have to be politicians? Do we not have good non-politician people to choose from? People, for instance, that haven’t wh0red themselves out to moneyed interests and sold out their constituents?

North Dakota Commits $300,000 for Carbon Capture Education
The state’s Industrial Commission, made up of the governor, attorney general and agricultural commissioner, has approved a project to expand education about carbon dioxide capture and storage, which includes a newly debuted website.
VERY disappointing. It’s part of the global warming scam.
https://northdakotamonitor.com/2024/11/14/north-dakota-couple-plans-to-dig-in-if-summit-pipeline-is-approved/
James and Jessica Tiegs are among the holdout landowners who have refused to sign on to the controversial Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline project to take carbon emissions from ethanol plants and store it underground in North Dakota.
Summit is offering to pay landowners in exchange for an easement — the right to put the hazardous liquid pipeline through their land — but the couple says they value the land and safety over money.
:
Asked what they might do if the PSC approves the project, James Tiegs said, “We dig in.”
Digging in would mean bracing for a possible legal battle with Summit over eminent domain, which allows a private business to force landowners to provide an easement.
Eminent domain is sometimes used for projects when a court determines that the project has a public benefit that outweighs the rights of a landowner — such as building a road, a powerline or flood protection.
“It goes right through some of our best farmland,” James Tiegs said. “I don’t want my family to farm over that.”
IMO, this is a dangerous, irresponsible boondoggle that will transfer wealth to the first movers.
Anyone close to a pipeline rupture is at risk of smothering. There is no odor. There is no color.
The CO2 is not to be stored permanently. It is destined to be used to frack oil and gas wells.
https://www.npr.org/2023/05/10/1175305683/a-rupture-that-hospitalized-45-people-raised-questions-about-co2-pipelines-safet
The entire CO2 scam is nothing more than another boondoggle used to transfer wealth from taxpayer’s pockets to the corrupt and give more control to the government over the people.
Also end the STAR energy efficiency crap on appliances- dishwashers, washing machines… they don’t clean worth beans anymore.
Look for a Maytag/Whirlpool dishwasher with a food grinder.
No louder than the crappy filter models and no dish issues.
We’ve been fans for decades.
We purchased a Maytag dishwasher 2 years ago for around $800. After the 12 month warranty expired in month 13, we had to replace the power panel for about $400. Now in year 3 we need to replace the rubber door hinges for another $300.
I WAS a fan too! Expensive lesson.
I had an old, avocado green, American-made Whirlpool W/D set for almost 20 years. Wanted them to break down so I could replace them. They wouldn’t break! Finally gave them away to a young newlywed couple, they ran another 5 years. Good days.
Let’s get rid of wind farms.
Turbines have destroyed Iowa. It’s really sad.
And solar farms which can be wiped out with a hailstorm.
A wind turbine has a 15 year lifespan. The $ubsidies on them are only 10 years, so they scrap them to the trash heap after 10 years (where they leach toxic chemicals into the environment) to start a new $ub$idy.
IIRC, it takes more energy to produce a wind turbine than it will produce in its lifetime.
Eye opening video, even if not in MI.

Add the elimination of the massive solar farms as well, which destroy the very environment that it’s supposed to be saving and generates large amounts of toxic waste.

“If the government announced billions for developing anti-gravity boots, it would be besieged by stacks of ideas for anti-gravity boots. None would work, of course, but that’s not really the point. Meanwhile, anti-grav boot producers and their boosters would claim that the cost of making their boots is steadily declining. Never mind that they still didn’t work.”

Donald Trump announced Friday that 27-year-old Karoline Leavitt will be his White House press secretary as he continues to unveil key staff. I LOVE HER … she got in so many CNN fake news faces. She is quick and witty and beautiful
that was the headline at Daily Mail … I always reference him as PRESIDENT TRUMP
I always write PDJT, or President Trump, however the Daily Mail, being a news outlet may well be following the 200+ year old protecol, dating back to the time of hand set letters, in guttenberg type presses.
The FIRST time an article refers to the President, they SAY “President so and so” and after that refer to him as “Mr so and so”.
Funnily to me, very few are aware of this, and with our every 8 year cycle of R to D, the D’s wouldn’t notice it when an R was President, and then when “their guy” took office and news papers and TV (following this same protecol) referred to THEIR President as “Mr. so and so” they would take it as a slight.
And of coarse, 8 years later the same objection would be heard by Republicans, believing THEIR man was being slughted.
It was to save on space and LETTERS, back when they hand set type.
This is not the case. You’ve yet again cherry picked and trying to provide yet another teaching moment to the rest of us.
The point stands as “PDJT” is regularly referenced as a commoner in print, online and TV.
Steve Bannon was saying this am Sarah Palin started it all. 16 years ago today they started planning her becoming the nominee. Said it was a mistake to not run. What do you expect she was abandoned and attacked by Obama and Romney.
She was mercilessly undermined and attacked by the Republicans. It was she who terrified the DC power mongers so much that they weaponized the IRS and other agencies against the emerging TEA Party.
It was they who maligned and ripped her off to deprived the nation of her leadership.
She was and remains such a threat that the minute she endorsed Donald Trump her husband suffered a nearly fatal “accident.”
Looking at you, dirty stinking traitorous RINOs.
Sarah is the founding mother of America First movement. she is first to say “Drill Baby Drill” for oil and gas production.
Sarah Palin was, is, and will always be a hero in my book. Solid patriot.
Steve Bannon produced a movie on Sarah called the “The Undefeated” in2011.
Love her. She ought to do the same to the fake newsers* at the press briefings anytime they spew their filthy lies.
*I’d leave them out on the lawn altogether, the acosta and yamiche types, but i know that wont happen. Should make for good entertainment
They ought to move them out of the West Wing. Over to another building. Too many lies and gossip get started there. Move em out, head em up
Truth be told I’d ban 90% of the fake news from the briefing room – save RAV, OAN, RSBN, Newsmax, Washington Examiner, even *gulp* NY Post and Faux. All the rest (plus some of those) are known liars, fraudsters and propagandists. Remind me, why are the likes of the Atlantic, or politico or msnbc, automatocally granted credentials?
And of course simon abeta is always welcome!
In reading his tweets over the past 3 months, I realized how much of a Democrat fan boy he was.
why I blocked him on Twitter
Agree. Starve the beast tv msm by banning their news reporters from the briefing room. Take down the msm.
I don’t think they can. The WH Press Corp is a separate entity is what i remember … however their OFFICES can be moved. Lets hope that happens
Ok. Didn’t realize that. They should revoke offices. Why let the enemy in the camp. Give those offices to the new guys…RSBN, etc.
if I remember correctly the Press Corp is not under the direction of the WH. Not sure where I got that info but it was in the first term when they tried to get press creds for RSBN and some other news people. OAN was neVer allowed in…remember Chanel Rion (who I hope gets a spot)
Rawhide!
I read an article saying that Trump was going to tell the press Corp to let in more conservative news sources. The Corp. may be independent of the WH BUT they need the WH’s cooperation to do their ranting & raving.
That CNN clown 🤡 was so triggered…she/he about passed out w/ the vapors!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Please, please, please let Brandon Herrera be head of the BATFE. The whole agency would be shut down in 90 days.
Why not just call it atf so everyone knows what you’re talking about?
How bout alex jones for fbi director. Just kidding.
I hope President Trump picks a barn burner for fbi director and asst director.
How about Marcus Allen the fbi whistleblower that the fbi raked over.😡
Appoint Alex Jones fcc commisdioner.😡

Maybe in prison, blm will educate him with wide gauge.
This plan has been in the making since January 2021; believe it !
I love it!
And he’s not done!
Woot-Woot!!!
Well heck. At least Doug Burgum is not our new Vice President Elect.
Sounds like a very bad choice for Interior. This spot should have gone to Harriet Hageman.
He is tight with his largest contributor, Bill Gates.
Imagine a new mask forward, unburdened by the old mask forward.
The terrorists hate us for our freedom fighters.
The freedom fighters hate us for our terrorists.
Yes, Harriet is Great, but WE NEED HER IN THE HOUSE.
QThere is a lady who has been working furiously on rural land protection, on a shoestring budget, who would be awesome. She was the one the shut down the “securitizingc of the fed-owned western land.
Doug,… send out a Directive to the IADC (drilling contractors) to Spud In and keep it turning to the Right until they hit the Pay Zone!
I don’t trust Burgum. His visage reminds me of John Kerry, and he’s a close friend of Bill Gates. As a member of the Western Governor’s Association, he has been promoting the implementation of Agenda 2030.
https://gemstatepatriot.com/blog/reimagining-rural-west/
Here’s an excerpt of the linked article from October of 2019.
“The Western Governors Association (WGA) has a new project that interferes with and disrupts how rural communities govern their towns and how they live, taking over local representation.
As the WGA continues to destroy our Republic by focusing on regionalism, concocting ideas and decisions between themselves without citizen involvement, deciding how rural citizens should be managed, and taking over rural economies, thanks to North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, WGA now has a master plan. Reimagining the Rural West (RRW) is a project that western Governors will cleverly disguise as beneficial for rural communities, but in reality, destroys rural sovereignty. The first workshop on this “project” was held October 1, 2019.
As described in the introduction by WGA Executive Director Jim Ogsbury, RRW is built on three pillars, Opportunity, Connectivity, and Community. It is a “quest” to provide solutions for “sustaining” rural communities. Opening remarks about the project were given by Gov. Burgum starting at the 14:05″ mark, which was basically a verbatim of Agenda 2030. One has to love his emphasis on “vibrant” communities and our gift of “free speech”, language right out of the United Nations (UN) playbook. Mr. Burgum also referenced the need for workforce development by moving rural communities beyond “extraction” based economies towards “value added” services which adds to connectivity, another UN mantra.”
What will he do at Interior to further implement the UN’s oppressive agenda?
How did he worm his way in?
How
Propaganda, simply put, is persuasion.
The WGA may or may not be interested in keeping Tina Peters mouth shut.

I would like to read Sundance’s assessment of this new “National Energy Council.”
Thanks for the list Sundance!
I like this too. It is very interesting and a bold move. We have two years in which accomplishments must be forwarded.
What about Elise Stefanik, USA Ambassador to the United Nations?
Bugrum has creeped me out since the first article I read about him a year ago.
I love President Trump like a Dad. I don’t not understand why he picked this guy.
