most federal lands in the west need to be sold and then pay off the national debt with the money.
They want to push everyone into mega-cities, take away gas-powered transportation, and manage us like animals in a zoo.
Bureaucrats continue their power grabs while Congress struts for the cameras.
Asked whether western ranchers should be concerned, McDonald said he “would be pretty worried.” More than 90 percent of the land owned by the federal government is out West. Although proposed guidelines offer protections for those with valid existing rights, ranchers might lose their chance to renew their claims thanks to competition from deep-pocketed environmental groups that can now claim priority.
“Ranchers should definitely be concerned enough to be paying attention,” McDonald said, adding the proposal has created “storm clouds on the horizon.”
Pendley was more fatalistic. “It’ll drive them out of business,” the former BLM director said. “We have ranches in the West that exist because they have a grazing allotment.”
“Livestock people settled the West, so when you take away the ability of a ranch to graze on an allotment associated with the ranch, then that’s the end of the ranch,” Pendley added. “They’re able to graze their livestock on BLM or Forest Service lands and it makes that ranch economical.”
The new rules appear to come straight from BLM Director Tracy Stone-Manning’s 1992 graduate thesis. While her 2021 nomination was controversial primarily over her history as an ecoterrorist, Biden’s BLM chief also condemned public grazing and promoted a Chinese-style child cap. Stone-Manning now oversees 155 million acres of grazing land, about the size of Arizona and New Mexico.
Grazing Is Good for Our Diet..
BLM’s new rules thus threaten to take out ranchers, the original conservationists. A major blow to regenerative ranching, which incorporates animals as critical to the natural biological cycle, could actually be detrimental to the nation’s health.
UN Agenda 21 , 2030 , Great Reset . ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
If we don’t start making headway reigning in the totality UNCONSTITUTIONAL administrative alphabet agencies we’re doomed. They all need to go away. The most immediate ones that needs to go away are the ATF, FBI, Department of Homeland Security, EPA, Federal Department of Education. Congress should refuse to budget them one thin dime.
The BLM is crooked.
I suspect grazing has the merit of reducing the danger of fire.
Some hamburger (96/4) is close to $7/pound at Walmart.
I’m eating far less hamburger nowadays.
That’s why it’s so important to reelect President Trump in 2024. Somebody needs to unscrew these messes Mr. PedoDemento is making.
I see our friends are at it again.
New rules added by one administration can be suspended and reversed by the next administration. I’d like to see the next administration sell off a large amount of BLM land, maybe under the guise of paying down the national debt incurred by the current administration.
Democrats think it’s their land
There is no war
I’ve seen no Progressive blood on the streets
To prevent any growth so people will be fully dependent on the government and then they completely control you.
dat BLM rules sounds just like the other BLM rules.
“Cumulative impact” + bureaucrats + NGOs = Let Them Eat Bugs!
Let me guess. Politically connected organizations that get tax dollars will “lease” the land indefinitely.
It is critically important to do this. Lands that are not exploited by commercial interests and are left in their pristine state are a preserve for endangered species to thrive! Well, until a fire comes through the rather overgrown area and cooks everything alive leaving no ground cover to prevent erosion. But, hey, you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
