Donald Trump to nominate Doug Burgum as Interior Secretary

Since before the election, I've thought Doug Burgum would be President-Elect Trump's Energy Secretary. Thursday night, it was announced that I was wrong. At an America First Policy Institute event, President-Elect Trump said that Burgum would be nominated to be Trump's Interior Secretary. Specifically, President-Elect Trump said "We have a big announcement, and I won’t tell you, it’s — I won’t tell you the name of his, the exact name. I think he’s an incredible person, got an unbelievably wonderful wife named Kathryn. So, I won’t tell you — his name might be something like 'Burgum.' Burgum." Then Trump said "He’s from North Dakota. He’s going to be announced tomorrow for a very big position." That's when he said that Burgum would be nominated to be his Interior Secretary.

Burgum is most valuable leading the Interior Department becuase Interior has a slew of regulatory agencies in it. If the governor of North Dakota has done battle with, it's with federal regulators.

Check out this list of federal regulators within Interior:

  • Bureau of Indian Affairs
  • Bureau of Indian Education
  • Bureau of Land Management
  • Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
  • Bureau of Reclamation
  • Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement
  • Bureau of Trust Funds Administration
  • National Park Service
  • Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement
  • U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
  • U.S. Geological Survey
    • The bureaus and agencies in bold print are some of the federal government's biggest regulators. They're also some of the most corrupt regulators in the federal government. Check out Sen. John Barrasso's questioning of these regulators' doublespeack:

    We need Doug Burgum as Interior Secretary immediately. These corruptocrats are the crisis, not the solution.

    Has Sue Ek come face-to-face with DFL hijinks?

    Apparently, Minnesota state and county employees aren't that attentive to details. Last night, a frequent reader of this blog sent me a statement from House Speaker-designate Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring ." She issued the following statement regarding vote tabulation errors, malfunctions, and discrepancies that have taken place in Sherburne and Scott Counties: The errors and discrepancies we've seen this cycle are intolerable and unacceptable. A free and fair election demands sunlight on the process. These incidents fuel distrust and raise questions about the integrity and accuracy of election results. Without an opportunity to observe or respond Sherburne County added newly-found votes to the total. Just a day later, Scott County announced an unspecified "ballot distribution error" and "ballot scanning malfunction" that triggered an abrupt re-scan of more than 20,000 ballots. There was less than two hours notice between the public announcement and the be...

    BREAKING NEWS: counterfeit ballot alert in Minnesota

    How Difficult Should it be to Get a Ballot? By John W. Palmer November 4, 2024 Securing an official ballot for your ward and precinct normally requires registration to vote and either showing up at a polling place or securing an absentee ballot. Ballot security is a cornerstone of an election free of fraud. When the tailgate of a vehicle was left open and unattended revealing a large stack of blank ballots, Minnesotans were appalled. Imagine how you would feel when you learn that all it takes to get a reproducible ballot for your ward and precinct is to download a file from a government website. In Stearns and several other Minnesota counties, imagination is not needed. Right now, all you have to do is go to Minnesota’s Secretary of State’s website and download a file. Go to this website and select “Get a sample ballot”. Then enter your zip code and address and your ballot appears. Now you are able to download the ballot as a PDF file. Once you have the PDF file you can print as many ...

    Tim Walz doubling down on Gestapo speech

    Image
    When Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, delivered the commencement address for the University of Minnesota Law school, he didn't deliver the typical commencement speech. He delivered a highly partisan speech instead. Gov. Walz compared "federal law enforcement agents implementing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown to a Nazi-era political police force." He called ICE agents Gestapo. Let's compare the 2. The Gestapo's mission was to rid Germany of Jews. To the Gestapo, it didn't matter that these Jews were German citizens and had been decades. Thanks to the Aryan Clauses, Jews were considered subhuman and weren't really Germans. That's an awfully racist viewpoint. Is Gov. Walz accusing law enforcement officers of being racists? I.C.E. I.C.E. agents enforce laws that bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress have passed and that the president has signed. These immigration bills were negotiated between the 2 parties. The Aryan Clau...
