AG Jeff Landry has WON round one with the Biden Administration!
A federal judge has sided with the Republican AG in his effort to save the oil and gas industry against the liberal federal overreach of the Biden administration.
In March, AG Landry filed suit outlining the unconstitutionality of the suspension of new oil and gas leases on federal land and water - a move that has driven up gas prices and endangered thousands of critical oil and gas jobs.
While the battle to stop Biden and his SOCIALIST ATTACK on Industry, Louisiana can be very proud of AG Landry and all he is doing to protect the oil and gas industry in Louisiana.
Biden and the Democrats will stop at nothing to tear down everything that conservatives like President Trump and Jeff Landry have done for our nation.
We're just glad that AG Landry is fighting them every step of the way!

Federal judge blocks Biden's pause on new oil, gas leases
U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty's ruling came in a lawsuit filed in March by Louisiana Republican Attorney General Jeff Landry and officials in 12 other states. Doughty said his ruling applies nationwide. It grants a preliminary injunction — technically a halt to the suspension pending further arguments on the merits of the case.

The Real "Average Joe"
As we’ve covered before on Cajun Conservatism, Biden’s Oil Ban has cost our state a lot more than just an oil rig here and there. It’s killed jobs of real life Louisianans!
Now in a new video by the You First Campaign, this fact is perfectly highlighted. The video follows a man named Joe from Delaware, Louisiana. He may not be the most famous Joe from Delaware, but he MATTERS! It highlights how Joe Biden lied about being on the side of working class people and uses his own words to show how out of touch the Democratic President is. At one point, our narrator (Average Joe) describes having his air conditioner go out, his truck needing new tires, and not being able to do anything about it because “I just got laid off.”
These are the real consequences of Biden’s Oil Ban. He claimed to be on the side of the middle class but in a matter of weeks he killed countless middle class jobs..
Joe Biden's policies have left behind hard-working Americans like Average Joe and You First is demanding that the President answer for them!
Louisiana joins Texas, Mississippi in filing suit against federal government over American Rescue Plan
“In exchange for badly needed funds to assist the States of Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana and their citizens in recovering from the ongoing pandemic – the American Rescue Plan Act attempts to obligate these states to exercise their core sovereign power of taxation in the way the federal government prefers,” said Attorney General Landry. “Specifically, the Act prohibits the states from reducing net tax revenue on pain of forfeiting up to billions of dollars in federal funding.”

GOP Sen. Kennedy: Biden Louisiana Trip to Say ‘I’m the Candy Man and I’ve Got More Free Stuff for You’
“I don’t have a lot of details,” Kennedy said of the visit. “It’s always an honor when a president visits your state. I’m sure the president’s coming in to say I’m the candy man, and I’ve got more free stuff for you. The problem is that there’s nothing free. Anything free somebody had to work for. The president’s plan is not an infrastructure plan. Only 5 percent of it goes to infrastructure. It’s really a Green New Deal and welfare plan, and it’s a mess. It looks like somebody — somebody knocked over a urine sample. Now, we can fix it if we stick to, A, infrastructure, and B, we have serious discussions about how to pay for it. I can tell you how we can pay for it.”

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry Sues Biden Administration Over Oil and Gas Executive Order
The following was posted on the Facebook page of Attorney General Jeff Landry this afternoon:
⚡ BREAKING ⚡ TODAY, I ANNOUNCED I AM LEADING AN EFFORT OF MULTIPLE STATES TO SUE JOE BIDEN AND HIS ADMINISTRATION FOR STOPPING OIL AND GAS LEASES IN THE GULF. (Video link at bottom.)
The Biden Ban against energy directly impacts tens of thousands of hard working Louisianans, middle class jobs, and takes food of the tables of Louisiana families. Biden's actions are driving up the price Americans pay at the pump. And the Biden Ban harms our national security.
In the video below you will see several Louisiana leaders supporting this effort including:
President of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association Mike Moncla,
Lori LeBlanc who is Vice President of LMOGA (the Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association) and Executive Director for the Gulf Economic Survival Team (GEST),
and Representative Blake Miguez, the Republican Leader of the Louisiana House.
We were joined by my Louisiana Solicitor General Liz Murrill.
The following states have joined my lawsuit filed this morning in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia.

Trump agreements seek to tie Biden's hands on immigration
Attorney General Jeff Landry of Louisiana has joined several other states in signing an agreement that limits the new President’s executive orders regarding immigration.
During the Trump administration’s final weeks, the Department of Homeland Security quietly signed agreements with at least four states that threaten to temporarily derail President Joe Biden’s efforts to undo his predecessor’s immigration policies.
The agreements say Arizona, Indiana, Louisiana and Texas are entitled to a 180-day consultation period before executive branch policy changes take effect. The Biden administration rejects that argument on grounds that immigration is solely the federal government’s responsibility under the Constitution.
More on Landry’s actions regarding this agreement:
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, a Republican, signed an agreement on Dec. 15 to “stem the tide of illegal immigration,” spokesman Cory Dennis said.
“While some may attempt to blur the lines, there is a difference between legal and illegal immigration, and it is important to recognize that,” he said. “Our office will continue to be a watchdog for any changes to immigration policies that may be detrimental to the people of Louisiana.”

LAGOP Statement on Joe Biden's Pick for Vice-President
Baton Rouge, LA – Yesterday afternoon, Democrat nominee for President Joe Biden announced his running mate would be California Senator Kamala Harris.
Sen. Harris is the left-wing political operative who sought the Democratic nomination for President last year by aligning her politics with the radical left and attacking the very same candidate on whose ticket she is now running! During her campaign, she publicly supported:
Abolishing all private healthcare and requiring Medicare-for-All.
Stripping American’s of their second amendment rights through the use of executive orders.
Passing the anti-job Green New Deal while raising taxes on the middle class.
Decriminalizing illegal immigration and offering illegal immigrants free healthcare and other services.
She has not since renounced any of these positions; if anything, she has been emboldened since the COVID pandemic began.
The choice in November is now clearer than ever: a vote for Trump-Pence is a vote for peace and prosperity; a vote for Biden-Harris is a vote for violence, anarchy, and socialized medicine. The danger of a Biden-Harris administration is grave, and the price our country would have to pay is far too high.
Only a vote for President Trump will ensure that America’s economy will be rebuilt, our country strengthened, and our people empowered. Let’s Keep America Great!
