That Didn't Take Long: Biden Interior Department Welcome Email Pushes Racial Politics
Van der Heide is your central casting leftist. She hates Christopher Columbus, Mt. Rushmore, Donald Trump, and American energy independence — not necessarily in that order. She is the sort of appointment that reveals the lie of Biden’s play as a bipartisan unifier.
Her email to Department employees lays out what matters now at the Interior Department:
Here we go. Under Trump, it was America First. Now, it’s the territories and identity politics.

Joe Biden Calls for DOJ to Resume Obama-Era ‘Slush Fund’ Payouts to Left-Wing Groups
“When the federal government settles a case against a corporate wrongdoer, any settlement funds should go first to the victims and then to the American people — not to bankroll third-party special interest groups or the political friends of whoever is in power,” Sessions said in 2017.
In 2017, Congress took aim at the “slush fund,” which incentivized corporate payments to left-wing groups such as La Raza.
Former Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) sponsored a bill called the “Stop Settlement Slush Funds Act of 2017,” but the bill never came to fruition.
The Sessions Justice Department policy, however, became an agency rule that went into effect in December 2020.
The rule is now part of several federal agency actions subject to review under Biden’s upcoming executive order called, “Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis,” Fox News reported.
The Obama administration Justice Department extorted fines from major banks such as Bank of America and used them to fund left-wing groups that push the Democrat vote, according to a 2016 report from the Government Accountability Institute (GAI).

“This is a gut punch for the Canadian and Alberta economies. Sadly it is an insult directed at the United States’ most important ally and trading partner,” Kenney told a news conference.
Christy Goldfuss, an energy and environment policy expert at the liberal Center for American Progress in Washington said a major part of the Biden administration’s climate strategy is to avoid building new long-lasting oil and gas projects such as KXL.
“The more we invest in fossil fuel infrastructure, the harder it is to transition to the investments we need to make for clean energy,” said Goldfuss, who ran the Council on Environmental Quality in former President Barack Obama’s White House.

Biden revokes KXL permit in blow to Canada's oil sector, Ottawa disappointed

Biden Signs 17 Executive Orders On First Day In Office, Includes Controversial Actions
President Joe Biden signed 17 Executive Orders on his first day in office, which included a number of controversial actions that took political aim at erasing as much of President Donald Trump’s presidency. The move by Biden comes after he repeatedly called for “unity” during his inaugural...
One of the most controversial Executive Orders that Biden signed “unilaterally eviscerate[d] women’s sports,” author and women’s rights activist Abigail Shrier wrote on Twitter. “Any educational institution that receives federal funding must admit biologically-male athletes to women’s teams, women’s scholarships, etc. A new glass ceiling was just placed over girls.”
The order states in part:

CNN added that Biden also signed a Executive Order that “requires executive branch appointees to sign an ethics pledge barring them from acting in personal interest and requiring them to uphold the independence of the Department of Justice.” The order comes as Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is under federal criminal investigation over his business dealings.
so federal money or protecting girls sports from men excuse me transgenders
They clearly have no idea what America looks like outside of their dystopian political enclaves and celebrity filled cocktail parties. They're just checking off boxes now and rewarding operatives and lobbyists.
Have we actually seen the "signature"?
What did Canada expect was going to happen? We don't want their oil. Canada's going to wind up sending it to China.“This is a gut punch for the Canadian and Alberta economies.

They know what Democrat cities look, like and that's what got them elected so they make his Administration look that way.
Filled with incompetence and stupidity.
On ‘Day One,’ Joe Biden’s Transgender Executive Order Destroys Women’s Rights
For example, the first paragraph of the order contains the following: “Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports.”
So, what does this mean? This means that children — defined by the federal government by anyone who is younger than age 18 or who is not an emancipated minor — have the “right” to decide which restroom or locker room they use. What does this mean, in raw actuality? Girls who believe they are boys can enter bathrooms and locker rooms designated for boys and, more worryingly, boys who believe they are girls can enter bathrooms and locker rooms designated for girls. Don’t like it? Too bad.
Cutting through the vague and evasive language of the executive order, this means that — just by claiming that they are a girl — boys will have access to an enclosed and previously private space where girls can undress. Not only that, they will have the supposed right to undress in front of these girls, forcing them into — at best — an uncomfortable situation, and — at worst — a dangerous one.

There are divisions that say masks all time everywhere, have been since summer.
Biden Signs Order Requiring Travelers To Wear Face Masks
The executive order, titled Promoting COVID-19 Safety In Domestic And International Travel, calls on various cabinet agencies to use existing authority to implement the new mandate on applicable methods of public transportation, which can include at airports, on commercial aircraft, on trains, on public maritime vessels and ferries, and on intercity bus services. However, it’s not clear how the Biden administration plans to enforce the mandate.
White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain previously said in a memo that Biden would be implementing an interstate-travel mask mandate at the start of his term, in addition to requiring masks on federal property, reported the Associated Press. (Biden later addressed members of the media at the Lincoln Memorial while not wearing a mask himself). He has also called on Americans to wear masks for the next 100 days as part of a “100 Day Masking Challenge.”
According CNBC News, major U.S. airlines already require travelers to wear face masks when flying, and airports already require face masks as well. Even before Biden’s order, more than 2,500 people had already been prohibited from flying over policy violations.
Under Biden’s executive order, international travelers visiting will also be required to test negative for COVID-19 prior to departing for the U.S.
