Some less good (but probably not surprising) news:   Trump administration continues to rush on trying to make life difficult for Biden administration to implement policy changes.   This one is a rushed announcement of intent to auction off coastal plain drilling rights in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge early in January.   So rushed they can't even say which parcels...  so it's not about that, it's about Trump being pissed off he lost the election and so just throwing sand in the eyes of the incoming administration.

Not even determined yet:  any details, like which parcels of the coastal plain will have their rights up for sale,  much less financial info like terms of sale or the minimum required bid.  Major oil exploration outfits may well  sit out this auction anyway.  There are lots of reasons for that, not least that the sale of the rights does not guarantee subsequent permits to drill.  Lawsuits ahead = caution light.


But boss Trump will figure it's the idea that counts...  the idea that Biden might grind his teeth over these antics.


What a guy The Don is, eh?    Immature and selfish to the bitter end.


Number of states in our country minus the number of Supreme Court Justices?
