The Biden administration has reinstated restrictive policies under the guise of environmental protections that impact the construction of major infrastructure projects in the United States, including pipelines and highways. The timing could not be worse.
Federal government regulatory intervention is on the rise. The new rule will require federal agencies to examine the climate impact of infrastructure projects under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), a 1970 law that requires the government to assess the environmental outcomes.

Richmond previously served in the House of Representatives as a member from the 2nd District of Louisiana.
Richmond's departure comes one day after reports that he criticized Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. and her fellow "squad" members as "f---ing idiots" after the 2020 election.
New York Times reporters Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin reported Richmond's comments in their new book on the 2020 election, which is set to release next Tuesday. Excerpts obtained by Fox Digital on Monday say that Richmond was among the foremost critics in Biden's orbit of the Democratic Party's progressive wing.

“GoFundMe's actions against the Freedom Convoy earlier this year brought to light an extreme lack of transparency in their policies,” Landry stated in a news release. “Big Tech platforms such as these must be held accountable and not be allowed to hide behind arbitrary standards that allow them to pick and choose ‘worthy’ causes."
According to their website, GoFundMe has served more than 50 million donors and helped organizers raise more than $5 billion since it launched in 2010.

Attorney General Jeff Landry has always been an advocate for the Strong Border that he and President Trump worked so hard to build. He knows that if we don't have a strong border, we don't have a strong country!
That's why he's been fighting so hard against Joe Biden whenever he attempts to expand his Open Borders Policy!
Late last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that on May 23 the Biden administration would end Title 42 — a broad public health authority that allows federal immigration officials to quickly return border crossers and illegal aliens to their native countries.
With this news, Jeff Landry sprang into action and SUED BIDEN!
He said "Presidential politics are killing public safety - Joe Biden needs to stop trying to be woke and start protecting the homeland."
It doesn't take a genius to understand that Title 42 will create a surge at the Southern Border. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, (DHS), estimates that getting rid of Title 42 could result in as many as 18,000 migrants per day showing up at the southern border – which could mean 540,000 migrants in a single month.
Landry is leading a team of State Attorney's General in their efforts to reverse this move from Biden and protect our border. This team of Conservatives is working to reverse this action by Biden and give our Law Enforcement the power to quickly turn back illegals!
We are proud that Jeff Landry is standing up against illegal immigration & fighting back against Biden's radical policies!
Thanks to AG Landry for defending the border!
Statement from Meridian Baldacci, spokesperson for Family Policy Alliance:
“The White House is having a complete meltdown about this week’s array of new pro-family laws. According to the Administration, it is ‘disturbing and dangerous’ to keep teachers from sexualizing kindergarten classrooms, it is ‘extreme’ to give women a level playing field in sports, and it is ‘wrong’ to protect children from irreversible and mutilating surgeries such as double mastectomies. In a nutshell, the Administration is distressed because states are protecting women and children.
“It’s not everyday Americans who are extreme – it’s the White House. Polls show that Americans support fair sports for women and commonsense child safety protections for children. And even Democratic primary voters support the new Florida Parental Rights in Education law.
“Instead of listening to Americans’ voices and supporting commonsense measures, the Biden Administration is doubling down with an authoritarian support for extreme ideology. It’s Biden versus America. And if Americans keep pushing back, we know our side will win.”
Background
Within the last week, three state governors signed four important laws aimed at protecting women and children: two laws to protect female athletes (Oklahoma, Arizona), one law protecting minors from so-called “sex-change” surgeries (Arizona), and a law protecting young children from sexualized instruction at school (Florida). And, the Utah legislature voted to make their own women’s sports legislation into law, overriding the Governor’s veto to do so.
The Biden Administration’s response? Complete meltdown. This week:
President Biden called the “onslaught” of laws “simply wrong” (echoing his statements in the State of the Union address)
Press Secretary Jen Psaki tweeted about the laws, calling them “extreme and harmful”
Education Secretary Cardona responded to the Florida law by encouraging students to file discrimination complaints with the Department of Education, and calling the law part of a “disturbing and dangerous trend”
The Department of Justice sent a memo to state attorneys general “reminding them” of “provisions that protect transgender youth against discrimination, including when those youth seek gender-affirming care”
The Biden Administration referenced a Department of Health and Human Services document which refers to transgender interventions as “crucial” for youth who identify as transgender
Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced an “X” sex marker on U.S. passport applications
The Department of Health and Human Services raised a pride flag outside its headquarters
Several of these actions were announced today, “International Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Yesterday, in a historic special session, the Louisiana legislature overrode Governor John Bel Edwards’ veto of its congressional redistricting plan. It thereby reinstated a good plan similar to the one the state had been using since 2011. Although the revived plan must still pass muster in the courts (where it will likely be upheld), the legislature has successfully completed its redistricting work and come up with as fair and common sense a plan as the Voting Rights Act would allow.
This is a great victory by any measure, and our legislators are to be commended for their work. However, this victory may be even greater than we suppose. Our legislature, which was elected by Louisiana’s largely conservative electorate, has finally come into its own and done the people’s will. After a six-year nightmare under John Bel Edwards’ administration, during which the cost of governing Louisiana has relentlessly increased even as our population has declined and our infrastructure has crumbled, there is at last reason for hope.
To sum up what has happened, our legislature has asserted its independence from a so-called “moderate” Democrat governor presiding over a totally inept administration dominated by woke progressives who detest the people they serve. Hoorah for the victory, and let us hope and pray that the tide has turned and we may expect ever greater wins from our legislators going forward.
And we are very much in need of those legislators who are guided by the fiscal prudence and common sense which a conservative political outlook provides. While the state’s coffers are now filled to overflowing with freshly printed federal COVID funds, this money will soon run out. One time funds carelessly expended on wasteful and ever-expanding programs which never go away will not be available in future years when our debt explodes, which it surely must. No doubt this future “fiscal cliff” will provide the excuse for some aspiring Democrat to call for a major tax increase which Louisiana cannot afford.
Now is the time to make the wise choices to channel future expenditures into roads and other infrastructure projects, sensible social programs with proven results, and debt repayments. Out-of-control departments and programs must be reined in without delay, and progressive experiments in social engineering ended without apology. Underperforming bureaucrats and administrators must be sent packing regardless of their political affiliation.
Only then will government spending once again become controllable, and only then will the public regain trust in its government. But an important milestone in achieving these goals was reached yesterday. Well done!

Knowing of our shared concern regarding rising energy and fuel costs, I am providing an update on my efforts in the U.S. House of Representatives to restore American energy independence.
President Biden’s anti-American energy policies have greatly injured the oil and gas industry, killed American jobs, and caused energy prices to rise. President Biden's policies revoked the Keystone XL pipeline permits while lifting sanctions on Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline. He enacted a drilling moratorium on federal lands and waters while calling on OPEC and Russia to boost their crude oil production. He enacted policies that rescinded Trump-era federal permitting improvements, increased regulatory burdens, threatened to increase federal royalty rates, and slowed federal approval of new energy projects and infrastructure. This administration’s energy policies have jeopardized our energy security and raised costs for American families.
To combat President Biden's disastrous energy policies, I have cosponsored numerous pieces of legislation that would protect Louisiana energy jobs and help reestablish American energy independence and American energy dominance. This includes:
H.R. 522, the Conservation Funding Protection Act, which would require annual lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico region of the outer Continental Shelf to protect offshore drilling activity and related conservation efforts.
H.R. 543, the Protecting our Wealth of Energy Resources (POWER) Act, which would prohibit the president or his secretaries of the Interior, Agriculture, and Energy departments from blocking energy or mineral leasing and permitting on federal lands and waters without congressional approval.
H.R. 684, the Keystone XL Pipeline Construction and Jobs Preservation Act, which would authorize the Keystone XL project and clarify that a presidential permit is not required for the construction, connection, operation, or maintenance of the outlined pipeline and border facilities.
H.R. 6947, the Freedom from Russian Energy Enterprise and Domestic Oil Maximization (FREEDOM) Act, which would ban imports of crude oil, petroleum products, and LNG from Russia, authorize the Keystone XL pipeline, and nullify President Biden's executive order that paused oil and gas leasing on public lands.
H.R. 7115, the Small Scale LNG Access Act, which would expedite application and approval processes for exports of natural gas.
H.Res. 940, which calls on President Biden to restore U.S. energy security and take necessary actions to increase domestic energy production.
Further, I am working closely with my colleagues on the House Energy Action Team (HEAT) to advance pro-American energy solutions. We recently delivered a HEAT letter to President Biden demanding he ends the ideological war on American energy producers and outlining several policy initiatives required to restore energy dominance and lower costs for American families.
The oil and gas industry employs roughly 6.8 million Americans and impacts every part of modern society. Congress must reverse the Biden administration’s disastrous economic and energy policies. This is especially true for Louisiana, which is one of the top oil & gas producers in the nation and. Nearly 250,000 Louisianans are employed by this industry. My office will use every legally available action to combat President Biden's injurious policies and support legislation to protect American workers and their livelihoods.
It is an honor to serve you in Congress. Please be assured my office will continue working to promote America first policies. Additionally, should you or your family ever need help with a federal agency, please contact my Lafayette office at 337-703-6105 or my Lake Charles office at 337-656-2833.
Respectfully,
Clay Higgins
Member of Congress
As geopolitical tensions rise and energy prices continue to climb higher, both in the U.S. and across Europe, the world is looking to America for energy leadership and stability. Instead, this administration continues to restrict access to America’s oil and natural gas resources, and legal and regulatory uncertainty is hindering increased energy production right here at home.
Just look at the current situation in Europe. It is an example of what can happen when nations depend on energy production from foreign sources that have agendas of their own.
However, unlike Europe, the U.S. has robust domestic production. Especially as concerned American families watch energy prices rise, they look to our nation’s leaders for help ensuring access to affordable, reliable energy. These same leaders have the power to support U.S. production and energy infrastructure – for example – which would send a clear message that America is open for energy investment.
So, how does this relate to energy operations in the Gulf of Mexico?
The next 5-year offshore leasing program, which must be in place by July 1, 2022, is well behind schedule and will not be finalized by the time the current one expires. Without a new 5-year program, no federal offshore lease sales can be held.
Energy operations in the Gulf of Mexico impacts new and existing jobs. In 2021, oil and natural gas production in the Gulf of Mexico supported more than 325,000 American jobs.
Progress towards carbon goals. U.S. oil and natural gas produced in the Gulf of Mexico is among the lowest carbon intensive barrels produced in the world, according to a U.S. Department of the Interior analysis that shows emissions from international substitutions are more carbon intensive.
Simply put: America needs an energy policy reset in order to continue offshore leasing and production, support American jobs, and maintain our energy security.

The U.S. Energy Information Agency tracks prices and says back in 1994, we were paying $1.00 a gallon for gas. It went over $2 a gallon back in May of 2004. Prices climbed just above $3 a gallon in July of 2006. In July of 2008, prices went up about $4 a gallon for the first time in history. Prices then dropped to $1.84 in 2009.

“Parents and guardians – not government bureaucrats – should make medical decisions for their children. And thanks to the legal challenge by families who had enough of the madness in the Crescent City, today is finally the end to the attacks on personal freedom in New Orleans. I again applaud the parents in the case and look forward to continue fighting with them to ensure the government at any level does not force medical procedures on citizens.”

The following was in an email to supporters of the Louisiana Republican Party concerning Critical Race Theory in Louisiana:
Patriots,
We are hosting our next Critical Race Theory workshop in Alexandria on April 12, 2022 at 6:00 pm at the historic Hotel Bentley.
We have hosted workshops in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and Covington, and we need to keep up the momentum!We ask all concerned parents, activists and citizens in the Alexandria area to join us and help eliminate this Marxist philosophy from our classrooms. The best way to do this is by attacking it head on and supporting vetted candidates running for your local School Board.
Join us for our next CRT workshop at the Hotel Bentley, 200 DeSoto St, Alexandria, LA 71301.
To RSVP to the Alexandria CRT Workshop, visit

Curious, I pulled over and asked the guy how long it took to charge- he said normally 30 min but these stations are running slow due to demand so it’s over an hour per car. Take a look at this line…. Each car is over an hour to charge. Hope those people have food and clothes - they may not make dinner.
When you put this bit in the ground here in America, you reduce the cost of energy, you make us more secure, you build a bigger, stronger, better middle class, and you take the burden off of the poor. So, why don't you help us lower the gasoline prices and utilities by allowing Americans and Louisianians to use this tool more often.

Note that one of these that voted against this bill is our own “Senator” Bill Cassidy of Louisiana:
Republican Senators Richard Burr of North Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, and Jerry Moran of Kansas each voted against the amendment.
The 2022 Louisiana Legislative Session begins March 14 and ends June 6. Louisiana Right to Life will be at the Capitol throughout the session to protect life, promote adoption, and fight against anything that destroys human life! Without question, our legislative activity has been a hallmark of our organization since 1970, and we are proud to represent babies, mothers, and you as we advocate. Please pray for the success of our efforts!
Our first priority this session is ensuring Louisiana law is ready for Roe v. Wade to be overturned if done through Dobbs vs Jackson Women’s Health allowing us to protect all babies. We are also supporting the Louisiana Heartbeat Act that mirrors the Texas law that is saving babies right now and stopping the online mail-order sale of chemical abortion pills through our new “Stopping Illegal Sale of Chemical Abortion Act” authored by Senator Sharon Hewitt (R-Slidell). We also have legislation to safeguard a patient’s right to obtain life-sustaining care and legislation to promote transparency in vaccines that are produced with abortion-derived cells.
Review below many of the current bills Louisiana Right to Life is tracking.
