The Great Texas Hold’Em Game

Texas-Hold'EmI checked this story out like I always do SpanknDon. I found some tidbits of information that are useful to know when “diving in on the deep end” on this story. Firstly, after the Louisiana Purchase the Texas/Oklahoma border was along the Red River. This is all well and good except rivers tend to “wander” over time. Secondly the original borders have moved over time and Texas denoted the “vegetation on the far-side of the river as the Texas border. Oklahoma has disputed this since  November, 1907 (46th state admitted to Union). Texas being admitted to the Union in December, 1845 (28th state admitted to Union) had the first word on the border-lines. The BLM is capitalizing on this land dispute between Texas and Oklahoma by attempting to seize the disputed river lands and probably make it part of the “National Blueways System” because they can. At issue is the fact that the Blueways Project Law explicitly forbids parties from seizing land for the purpose of the Blueways Project Lands. The Department of the Interior can, however, seize land in the name of bio-conservation, and bio-diversity. After it is under their management,… well you know the rest of the story. This, I think, is what they are attempting to do. It’s a damning action, and should be stopped at once. The “new” United Nations FED is doing everything possible to progress toward the U.N. Charter and damned what our citizens think or want. The so called New World Order (United Nations) is what’s happening these days. They’re going to ride us like Palomino Pony’s until we wear out! I guess we have to hide all that we can so that we can safeguard our families futures. I’m sure not everyone in the government is onboard with the new U.N. plan, and a tussle is going to happen concerning our rights as U.S. citizens and the government as a whole. These are difficult times indeed for our freedoms!

Hillary Clinton 2016?! Not Enough Lubrication!

hillary_clinton_old-300x225Hillary Clinton is part of a dynasty that America can certainly do without. We’ve had the misfortune in this country of allowing ourselves to be corralled into dynastical voting. The Roosevelt’s, Bush’s, and now the Clinton’s too? Somehow the individual thought of somebody “New and Constitutionally Conservative” as our president seems like a faraway dream. Barack Obama was groomed, educated, and bankrolled by the “socialist machine” to be President of the U.S. George Soros bankrolled most of it too. If not for that he would not have been a pimple on the butt of mankind. Aside from the anatomical differences, Hillary Clinton is another Obama clone, and obviously a “Clinton”.

These are Hillary Clinton’s thoughts on taxation, and ACA (Obama-Care) before it even became the so called “Law of the Land”. She had grandiose visions of national healthcare. In February, 2008 while a Presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton was interviewed by George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week”. She pulled no punches about her total socialistic support for individual wage garnishments, taxes, or individual healthcare mandate enforcement. She even wanted employers to require proof of healthcare coverage when applying for a job (Geoff Earle, “Hill Care-Ried Away,” New York Post, 9/19/07) comparing it to showing proof of vaccination to a school district when enrolling in school.

Because Obama was running against Hillary Clinton in 2008 Obama was less than forthright about his true thoughts. Here’s what Obama said about Clinton’s mandate plan; “They may charge people who already don’t have health care fines, or have to take it out of their paychecks. … I don’t think, is helping those without health insurance. “Senator Clinton has a different approach. She believes that we have to force people who don’t have health insurance to buy it. Otherwise, there will be a lot of people who don’t get it. I don’t see those folks. And I think that it is important for us to recognize that if, in fact, you are going to mandate the purchase of insurance and it’s not affordable, then there’s going to have to be some enforcement mechanism that the government uses. And they may charge people who already don’t have health care fines, or have to take it out of their paychecks. And that, I don’t think, is helping those without health insurance. That is a genuine difference.” (Barack Obama, Democratic Presidential Debate, Los Angeles, CA, 1/31/08)

After the election and the “Big Deal” that Hillary Clinton agreed to with the DNC (i.e. “let Obama take the reins and we’ll give you an appointment position”.), Hillary was appointed to Secretary of the State position. I’ll cede that Osama Bin Laden was taken out on her watch, but it was not because of her doing. The job of Secretary of the State is politics, embassies, and geo-political lubrication. Not military action. Bin Laden was taken out because of the CIA, and Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Pentagon based on Intel and precision military action. Hillary Clinton’s pathetic attempt at “Statesmanship” was woefully realized when the conflagration at the American Embassy in Benghazi, Libya transpired. As Secretary of the State she was directly responsible for the entire event. She knew the risks of allowing lax security, and denied the Embassy the added manpower, troops and support needed to support safe foreign affairs at the Embassy during the Libyan crisis. When finally questioned by the congress she “showed her ass” as we like to say in Missouri, and stated the following; “I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant”. What the hell does all that mean?  She was not held accountable at the time because she supposedly had an accident and fell down causing a convenient unverifiable “brain injury”. She needs to be held accountable for her ineptness. In my opinion Hillary Clinton is a deceiver, not worthy of the American people’s trust. The full story on Benghazi can be found on Breitbart “Hillary Clinton Lied, and Four Americans Died”. Thank you Andrew, this story speaks volumes on this subject.

We do not want anymore dynasties, no more socialist lubrication for the unwilling-to-work masses, no more lies to us  real Americans. We want our freedom and United States Constitution back! This starts now and decisive action can be taken in November. Conservative candidates are going to be our answer. Let’s do this right this time and get the riff-raff, liberal, airhead thieves out of Washington!

The Great Nevada Range War of 2014

cattle

THE FACTS

Clive Bundy has been in a dispute with the BLM for over 20 years about grazing permits for his cattle herd of over 500 head. Each head of cattle costs $1.35 per head of cattle, per month for the permit. That amounts to $8100.00 per year, and over $1 million dollars for twenty years.

Clive Bundy has insisted that he has no problem paying the permit fee; however he feels the BLM has no right to the money, and that the state of Nevada owns the land. Clive Bundy also has not paid any permit fees to the state of Nevada.

Over twenty four months ago two Federal Judges ruled against Clive Bundy, and required him to pay the over $1 million dollars in fees to the BLM. He refused and the federal government attempted to seize his cattle that were grazing on the disputed land; however Bundy interfered with the roundup causing another Federal Judge to rule that Clive Bundy could not intervene with the roundup.

Bundy’s Mormon family settled here over 140 years ago and although he does not actually own the land, he claims the inherited right to graze his cattle on it.

Clive Bundy made statements to the affect that this was now a “range war”. This further escalated the issue because those are threatening statements to the Federal Government and the BLM responded accordingly by using a “show of force”. This included armored vehicles, snipers, federal law enforcement, and canine support.

Further escalating the situation was Clive Bundy’s supporters causing the situation to go viral on the internet. Hundreds of new-found supporters began to go to Bunkerville, Nevada and “poke the snake” causing the federal government to exercise their authority, and protect those that oversee the roundup.

As seen in the viral video that supporters of Clive Bundy have put on YouTube, his supporters blocked a truck, on a federal road, and threatened the occupants of it. This is obvious as witnessed in the video. Law enforcement were seen trying to protect the occupants by approaching with canines and giving warnings to those making the threats to officers. Over ten warnings were given before they commanded canines to “repel” an assault. The assailant kicked the canine (assaulting a police officer), and they used Tasers on them to repel them. When the truck was able to move on the escalation ceased.

This entire problem started in 1993. Bundy refused to pay grazing fees in 1993.The trouble started there. He claimed that he didn’t have to pay any fees because his Mormon ancestors used the land since the 1880s. He feels this gives him the right to the land.

Nevada is a sovereign state, and like many other states in the western United States it has an “Open Range Law” that should be reviewed by people that are involved with this tussle. I have read this document, and the history of range laws. I have read the news concerning this event, and watched the compelling videos. I feel I can form an opinion now.

 

MY OPINION

If money was not the issue with Clive Bundy then why not pay it and be done with it? If it was an issue of not wanting to pay the federal government, then why didn’t he make a legitimate offer to Clark County, Nevada to pay them? The truth is that he does not want to pay at all. He does not own this land and just because a family has lived in an area and free-range grazed for many years does not give them ownership of the land, or its resources. Just ask anybody living in Alaska. The very minimal grazing fee imposed my BLM is not out of line with what the BLM does on lands across the rest of the nation. The issue is that he refused to pay anyone. The permit money is supposed to be used to “protect habitats”, etc. This is understandable, and acceptable. The two Federal Judge’s that ruled on this case both are known to be fairly conservative in their leanings.

Clive Bundy was able to graze his cattle for free for twenty years while others paid the permit fees for their own cattle to graze there. I’m from Missouri and from where I’m sitting that’s a tidy little profit for him. He thought he could do that indefinitely but it caught up with him, and now he can’t pay the accumulated bill. He had no other place to graze his cattle. He stated that “all the other ranchers around him stopped grazing there.” What he didn’t say is that they used their profits to buy grazing land around him instead of paying for permits.

This is not about “fracking”, “solar power”, “drilling”, “grazing”, “tortoise conservation” or other operational agenda. The fact is when one looks at a map of the area it’s easy to see that all of these things can coexist simultaneously, and not conflict upon each other. Nevada’s “Open Range” law does not protect other people from a rancher’s livestock. The state of Nevada has this one last area of land that is under the BLM. All others have been turned over to the state and subsequently sold to ranchers, and private interests. If the BLM were to cease managing it then the same thing that happened to the rest of the lands would happen. It would be sold to the highest bidder, and not held as “open range” land. Mr. Bundy would have to pay for his beef to be raised like everybody else does.

I hate when people do not research before they fan flames of deception. The cold, hard truth about this is that Clive Bundy owes the federal government a lot of money that he is compelled to pay because he continued to graze his cattle on “Open Range”, permit required land. Since he can no longer pay the accumulated bill he now is trying to graze on the sympathy of others around him. The fact is that if Nevada had the right they would sell the land immediately for profit and unless Clive Bundy bought the land, he couldn’t graze his cattle there anyway. This is why two Federal Judge’s ruled the way they did.

Clive Bundy is a selfish man vying to get a free handout from sympathetic activists.
