Somehow the msm never mentions all the tornadoes we've had through MS, AR, AND TN, Just IL AND OHIO. I've lived here for over 45 yrs, and never seen so many. We are getting frost tonight. Rainfall is above average too. Summer will be bone dry. And 110 heat index.
Excellent summary! This nonsense about government land!
An old friend now gone who used to fly the B26 used to visit the Vets at the VA hospital. One day he got there a few minutes late and the guard was not going to let him in. He was going anyway and the guard told him he was "trespassing" on U.S. Government property. His reply was "who do you think the government is, you idiot?" This is MY and YOUR property! He said "oh", and let him pass.
Point being, this is OUR property! Public servants WORK for us! They certainly have no right to keep us off it or sell it to someone without OUR permission!
To my best knowledge, the US govt owns nothing, because all its assets are already serve as collateral for previous "loans" from the Federal Reserve...
True, but they think they do. Not even the White House. It's the People's House. Many forget that.
BRAVE MAYOR
Florida Mayor Fank Hibbard Resigns During City Council Meeting
“We’ve had very little debt, but the spreadsheets that we were looking at this past Monday showed a number of projects and the funding shortfall was a quarter of a billion dollars,” former Clearwater Mayor Frank Hibbard said. “Local government and government in general needs to be very careful with their resources and also be more creative in the way we solve problems.”
Hibbard, who works full-time as a financial adviser and wealth manager, served as mayor from 2005 to 2012 and was re-elected to another four-year term in 2020. He had already announced that he would not seek re-election in 2024.
Unfortunately, this is nothing new. The Clinton administration locked up a crazy amount of coal back in 1996 when it created the 1.7 million acre Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument.
The Cascade Siskiyou National Monument covers a large, ecologically diverse region on the border of Oregon and California. In order to learn what environmentalists think about this new management plan, JPR’s Roman Battaglia spoke with Dave Willis, the man who originally fought to create the Monument starting in the 1980s and the chair of the Soda Mountain Wilderness Council.
Roman Battaglia: Before we talk about the new resource management plan that's just been signed by the BLM, I was curious about the previous resource management plan that I believe it was 2008? What were your thoughts on that plan?
Dave Willis: It wasn't a bad plan, and it was done by BLM staff who knew the monument very well, cared about it and gave it their best shot. Wasn't perfect, but I'm sad to say it is better than the plan that BLM just signed. That was written by BLM staff who didn't really know the monument. It wasn't a priority for them. And I'm afraid they were influenced by the BLM traditional custom and culture. You know, the BLM was established by combining the General Land Office, which sold land off and the U.S. Grazing Service, which was controlled by ranchers, and the O&C [Oregon and California] Administration, which had been cutting like there was no tomorrow. And even though that was decades ago, BLM continues to struggle to overcome its beginnings.
RB: What do you think of the new resource management plan that was released by the BLM this month?
DW: Well, it's not for no reason that some clear-eyed critics call BLM the bureau of Beef, Logging and Mining. And in this particular case, I'm afraid that shows up. Some dubious promises are made about studying the effects of cattle, but they haven't done any studies since 2008 that have been worth anything. In fact, they've refused to study using the cover of what's called the grazing rider to renew leases a number of times. The logging is very heavy-handed in this monument plan. If you're a hammer, every problem is a nail. And If you're a chainsaw, every problem is a tree. And for the most part, the BLM is kind of a one trick pony chainsaw, and that shows up in this plan far too much.
RB: So what kind of elements make you say that the 2008 plan is better than the newly-passed one?
DW: The original plan included elements of the Northwest Forest Plan: the Aquatic Conservation Strategy, which required that agency actions not retard water quality and stream health, and the Survey and Manage Protocols, which have been called look before you log, at what the logging will do to species in the monument that the proclamation says should be protected. And this new plan ditches the Northwest forest plan elements. No Aquatic Conservation Strategy, no Survey and Management Protocol. The plan also ditches Areas of Critical Environmental Concern and Research Natural Areas. And that's because they say, "Oh, we're going to manage the whole monument in a way that would protect those." We're dubious that would be the case by so much of what the plan says. In fact, if they manage the whole monument to protect it, we wonder why the plan says they could even trade away monument land inside monument boundaries, so it's no longer be part of the monument. That to us, doesn't sound like managing the whole monument as though it were an Area of Critical Environmental Concern.

What is a Thermoset? In layman’s terms, molding or curing a thermoset is like cooking an egg or baking a cake. Once an egg is dropped into boiling water and cooked, it cannot revert to its original physical state as a yoke. Similarly, after thermosets are molded, it cannot be ground up and reprocessed or remolded.

Gypsum is a common mineral in Nevada. This mineral is used primarily in construction of buildings and agriculture. The composition of gypsum can be found in multiple forms, from chalky material to crystalized selenite, and even in the shape of a crystalized rose (Desert Rose).

Lawmakers pump brakes on fast-tracked mining after gravel pit dustup
The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality offers a limited mining operations exemption that allows a developer to forgo public notices and pre-operational environmental reviews. The idea to expand the exemption to include rare earth minerals, silver and other hard rock resources stems from an ongoing legislative effort to streamline and cut regulatory hurdles to doing business in the state. Proponents say expanding the exemption is an opportunity to accommodate a flood of interest and investment in so-called “critical minerals.”
