Screw up, cover up, move up, pack up. After trampling the rule of law, defying court orders, doctoring scientific conclusions, threatening the media for asking inconvenient questions, and destroying countless jobs in the name of environmental protection, President Obama’s loathsome cowboy Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is finally headed for the exit door. The Denver Post […]

Since day one of the Obama administration, I’ve chronicled Loathsome Cowboy Ken Salazar’s War on the West, War on Jobs, and War on Science/Rule of Law. His eco-radical sidekick Carol Browner is gone, yet Salazar remains in place — and has launched a new public campaign to demonstrate his purported moderation on energy policy. Yesterday, […]

Loathsome cowboy. When last we visited with the Interior Department’s Job Destroyer-in-Chief, he was shoving his newly “revised” offshore drilling moratorium down America’s throat. Today, let’s talk about what he’s doing in Utah to screw over onshore development and the economy. Last week, Salazar defended pulling 77 oil leases granted in the final days of […]

All hat, no cattle Ken Salazar needs another ass-kicking by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2010 When President Obama picked former Democrat Sen.

The most transparent administration ever, LOL by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2013 Sun, sun, sun, here it comes. Welcome to the Summer of Belated Epiphanies. Media lapdogs are finally, finally arriving at the conclusion that maybe this isn’t the most transparent administration in world history, after all. On Tuesday, the Associated Press reported on […]

The Interior Department is on a roll — a steamroll over American jobs at the expense of common sense, sound science, and integrity in government. Earlier this week, I called attention to the 9.6 million acre land grab masquerading as a northern spotted owl rescue that will cost thousands of timber-related jobs, while subsidizing the […]

The fish rots from the head down. And boy, are things smelling extra-pungent at the U.S. Interior Department. The book-cooking, brass-knuckle antics of President Obama’s loathsome cowboy, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, have been meticulously documented on this blog, in my columns, and in Culture of Corruption. Salazar made headlines most recently with his thug threat […]

“Gas left in the tank”?

Last week, I reported on the ongoing shenanigans of President Obama’s rogue Interior Department. House GOP watchdogs continue to chip away at the stonewall surrounding the reckless, politicized White House drilling ban. House GOP Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings announced plans yesterday to summon more Obama officials to testify after they refused to agree […]

Obama’s Interior Department still going rogue by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2012 The Obama administration’s loathsome cowboy, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, won’t take no for an answer. He’s been smacked down repeatedly by federal courts for imposing a draconian, junk science-based moratorium on the oil and gas industry. Yet, the job-killing zealot and his […]

Obama’s Land of the LOST by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2012 What’s green and blue and grabby all over? President Obama’s new pressure campaign for Congress to ratify the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST). The fight over LOST goes back three decades, when it was first rejected by President Ronald Reagan. He warned […]

My column today follows up on yesterday’s House Natural Resources Committee release of internal Interior Department Inspector General e-mails detailing the continued White House obstruction and cover-up of Team Obama’s drilling moratorium data manufacturing. I’ve attached relevant e-mails below the column. Note especially the warning from the DOI IG senior agent to his bosses that […]

“Crucify them:” The Obama Way by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2012 One of President Obama’s radical eco-bureaucrats has apologized for confirming an indelible truth: This White House treats politically incorrect private industries as public enemies who deserve regulatory death sentences.

The high priests of eco-destruction by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2012 Rick Santorum is right. Pushing back against Democrats’ attempts to frame him as a religious menace, the GOP presidential candidate forcefully turned the tables on the White House: “When it comes to the management of the Earth, they are the anti-science ones.” Scrutiny […]

As an early-and-often chronicler of Chicago-on-the-Potomac, I am amazed at the stubborn and clingy persistence of President Barack Obama’s snowblowers in the media. See […]

Obama’s Cloud-Based Transparency by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2011 At the dawn of his administration, President Obama opined: “A democracy requires accountability, and accountability requires transparency.” Magical rays of white-hot sunlight emanated from his media-manufactured halo. And then bureaucratically engineered darkness settled over the land. For three years, White House officials have rolled out […]

Maybe it’s time to start a Jackboot Watch feature. We’ve got DOJ lawyers going after Gibson guitars. There’s the ongoing Fast and Furious debacle. Add the eco-nitwit rogues at the Interior Department. Then there’s the War on Lemonade Stands. And now, we’ve got the U.S. Attorney in Idaho filing federal charges against Jeremy Hill, a […]

Since day one of the Obama administration, I’ve chronicled Loathsome Cowboy Ken Salazar’s War on the West, War on Jobs, and War on Science/Rule of Law as head of the Interior Department.
