Biden's handler[s] considering banning mining in New Mexico

President Biden's handler[s] already banned uranium mining in Arizona because that would mean we'd be uranium independent and wouldn't have to depend on Russia for 12% of this valuable commodity, as we did last year.

But now the mystery person behind the curtain, that is, whoever is pulling Biden's strings, wants the Department of the Interior to ban mining and oil-drilling in New Mexico for 50 years, a mere 18,262 days. By doing so, the DOI plans to federalize 4,000 acres of "sacred Tribal lands" and promote "scenic integrity, cultural importance, recreational values, and wildlife habitat connectivity." 

Whoever it is who pulls his strings is supposedly "protecting" New Mexico's vast copper, silver, and lead deposits, as well as some of New Mexico's largest gravel mines. This will perpetuate our reliance on China and other foreign nations for these resources we already possess. 

Brilliant.

This will impact our energy security and independence from these countries and put us in a position where they can cut us off at any time. China would love to do that if they're planning something untoward. It will also encourage other countries to exploit their people to produce more of these limited materials, particularly those needed in electric vehicle supply chains.

The Biden administration is doing everything it can to hand over our self-reliance to foreign powers and make domestic mining more difficult. It's hard to understand the motivation for this, but whatever it is, it isn't good for the country and puts us in a precarious position and makes us unsafe for would-be aggressors.

As Barack Obama is alleged to have famously said, "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f*** things up." Snopes claims this statement is unproven, but what does it matter if it still it rings true.
