his first steer. We LOVE having the “little boy” in the kitchen now. Swim party
for Faith’s 5<sup>th</sup> birthday. P.J. & Mark Trostel came to The Farm;
we dinnered at Meeker’s, had front row seats for Chuck’s long time friend
Michael Martin Murphey. We PLAYED well into the P.M. of the next day!
Thanksgiving here. Chuck’s long time friend Butch Cosby died. Ron Sinnett,
husband of my friend Kathy for 76 years, died. Great friend & mentor Dr.
Bernie Rollin died. Chuck’s friend Cecil Vigil, died. Chuck’s grade school
friend, Bob Briggs, died. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Due to COVID, Faith & Lea
stayed at The Farm a lot in 2020, and sporadically in 2021. Tuesday Lea called
& asked, “Is Chuck at T-Bone?” I said, “how would you remember that?” She
answered, “Mom. I’ve been your roommate the past couple years!” Faith knows
every inch of the house – and FARM. She LOVES the swings John McArthur &
Henry put up for her 3<sup>rd</sup> birthday present. Throughout 2018 to
present I made many runs to Denver to enjoy watching Faith grow!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">John McArthur did a full
restoration on our home in 2001, then the entire middle level again after the 2013
flood. John began renovation on The Barn in 2018 and finished a couple weeks
before he died in 2021. We didn’t have one thing in writing over John’s twenty
years of building here. We miss his HUGE talent! That 115-year-old Barn is now
a beaut! We’ve been fortunate to be able to still hire <i>Henry </i>(John’s
helper.) periodically to help us around here. This summer, Chuck, Henry, and I
made a pretty darn good dent in the woods pasture by mowing, push’n dirt,
sawing branches etc.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">We get together with Tom &
Rosie often! <br />
Philip watches The Farm when we’re gone, takes care of our 3 horses (<i>Sundowner,
Dusty, Atlas</i>) dog - <i>Miss Dulce Rose</i>, and cat <i>June, </i>fixes
whatever “complicated stuff” needs fixing, and bakes “homemade” pizzas on call!
<br />
Ken Kleinsorge & his son built a “Deere Jane” outhouse to sit next to our
“Deere John” outhouse. They installed new sunlight panels on the shop roof. In
John’s absence now, it’s a relief to start “building up a carpenter team
again.”<br />
We geriatrics need all the help we can get. Not because we’re disabled, but
because we’re lazy now. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I spent 2 “GRRRR” months
trying to get security set up. Found out we need two, Hughes Net & Century
Link, to ensure our computers, TV & ADT run smoothly. What’s so modern
about these days again??<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">Chuck completed 28 Libtayo
infusions and is now cancer free. Praise God! The past 4 years have been a blur
of non-stop doc visits. Poor feller. Like he’s been beat to hell these past 4
years! His team of docs communicate with each other…which is comforting! Thank goodness
Chuck’s a good man because he draws “good folks” who help us a lot! </span><span style="line-height: 107%;">😊</span><span style="line-height: 107%;"><br />
Forgive me, but I kind of forget the months. But I DO remember the people: Had
breakfast with Cyn French. Jim & Kristie Docheff are always a treat to dine
and well mostly chat with! Yup! <br />
Guys like Bink, Joe & Jeff keep everything running, including the beer.
Scott Shuman checks in - “<i>Momma Roni</i>, need help?” His son Walker
meticulously wired the steel rims to the wooden wheels on our dump wagon. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Chuck even enjoys his
attorneys, Jeremy Cohen & Merc Pittinos. Maybe because after doing “the
office work,” they go to Pappadeaux for oysters? <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Our Farm is always “alive”
with the sights, sounds and actions of good people, good animals, good
equipment streaming in and out of here. We’re grateful! <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Each and every month is jammed
with “Meets n’ Appts.” Silly me gets on a rant on Facebook and Twitter. Oh well,
eh? <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">This spring I got ta do’n
circles in the paddock with the Ford 4000 & blade. When through, I thought,
“Hummm. I think I just made raised gardens.” Chuck had a big time giving away
tomatoes, Armenian Cucumbers, carrots etc. Next year I’ll expand the
Artichokes, for they did well. Looking forward to the asparagus and will plug
some strawberries. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">After physically crashing and
burning, I pared way back on the Water/Property Rights juggling. Now I’m doing
great, and love mowing nearly everything (paddock, woods pasture, yard) all the
time! Chuck keeps both of my mowers fuel fueled! <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">We’re learning a lot about
veggie growing from Dave Petrocco (leases this farm). He hires the best workers
and grows the most succulent sweet corn we’ve ever had! Don’t know how many
acres Dave farms, but he gets up at 3 a.m. to check on them from Brighton to
Eaton (I think). He had a Romaine lettuce field plowed because “hail hit their
leaves a tiny bit.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Ross & Anita are miracle
workers managing Chuck, AND his Wyoming farms while growing Grade A dairy
Alfalfa! <br />
Jennie Lou and Steve Garland bought Chuck’s NT Bar ranch. They still lease the
Circle Bar. You couldn’t ask for finer people! Both of these young couples are
thoughtful, sweet, hardworking, honest & really SMART! We’re blessed! <br />
Ron and Lou Schram drive out from NE for our Bunch Quitter every year. The past
couple years they’ve stayed with us, as has our “glittery lady auctioneer”
buddy Cookie Lockhart. Cookie got slammed hard with COVID in October. She’s
SLOWLY on the mend. High altitude Steamboat works her lungs overtime. We’re
hoping she’ll get to lower altitude.<br />
Colonel Trostel and Scott Shuman have graciously taken over<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>M.C’ing our (small private invitation only) Bunch
Quitter Soiree. It was RICH watching Scott’s adorable teenage daughter Shelby professionally
auction off everything in the B.Q. auction (winners write a check to “their”
favorite charity) the past two years. Especially with Cookie, the <span style="background: #FBFBFB; color: #333333;">“first female auctioneer inducted into
the National Auctioneers Association Hall of Fame,” proudly watching on… </span><br />
Chuck and I contracted Jay to video Dr. Marvin Beeman, Dr. Johnny Matsushima, Joe
Lynch, Dave Petrocco and Bob Sakata, because we wanted<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“to document them!” Now we’re trying to
decide what to do with the dynamite “historical footage in the can.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Only Jay should log/edit/produce/finish the footage.
We haven’t had time to do so, or to look into “markets” we know nothing about. With
what Chuck I have into it, plus what it will take to have about 25 minutes of
PBS quality programing. I’m estimating the cost would be less than $120,000. Of
course, more, if Jay has to generate new footage. Jay won a Heartland Emmy for
work he did with John Ferrugia. He’s good. Really good! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Chuck enjoys taking his
grandchildren & great granddaughter out to eat. They try getting together
often. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">On my drives into Denver, I
always called Angus with questions, and got an hour of private tutoring on
Property Rights. Regarding Property Rights, particularly on Federal Lands,
Angus was a walking encyclopedia on statutes, policies, case law. This past
June I drove up to Craig, CO to meet with his widow Linda and daughters Mary
& Anna. The McIntosh family is special crew of honest, smart, hard workers.
And they’re fun! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, we laugh. Angus
would have wanted that.<br />
Brother Stuart calls often to update me on – well – first it was politics, and
now he’s onto genealogy. Stuart needs to do a podcast simply titled “Stuart.”
He remains one heck of a funny, witty, and knowledgeable about everything guy from
truck engines to hay stacking! About 65 years ago he saw me sitting in the dirt
studying bugs rolling up mud. He said, “What ja doing Ronita?” I said, “Trying
to figure out these bugs.” He said, “You know what they are don’t you?” “No,” I
answered. “They’re manure bugs! Look,” he said, “they’re rolling up manure.
Egyptians said they ‘roll the sun through day and night and across the sky east
to west.’” I’ve been in awe of him since! <br />
Anita, mother of Savannah & Zeke, is well into her childhood dream of becoming
a Veterinarian. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kaylyn is going on 10
years with California Closets. Kinsey was co-mgr. of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Body Shop. They closed. She managed a shoe
store until she had to close it by herself, “because she couldn’t find anyone
who wants to work.” Those are words we hear from far too many employers. It’s a
pathetic state of affairs.<br />
Zoe is in her 2<sup>nd</sup> year at Grand Canyon College in AZ. Confession! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My granddaughters – ages near 31 to 5 – are
sharp, interesting, original thinking conservationists. We LOVE visiting with
each of them! <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Recently Faith got bored with
her preschool class, so she went over to her teachers conferencing, and asked to
join them.<br />
Lea LOVES coaching her students…even via ZOOM. Jay overheard her coaching one
day, and he called to squeal on her, “Mom. Lea knows what she’s doing! She’s a
great teacher. Great teacher! I’m impressed!” <br />
Geni is a family counselor now. She commutes to Colorado Springs for her
appointments. Traveling with her this summer, I learned a lot a lot about
“addressing people’s hurts…” Stephen’s been with UPS for 21 years now and is
working on his doctorate in – ah shoot, I always forget. Anyway, he wants to
teach and lead religion seminars & more.<br />
Chuck and I are happy to be busy and grateful to have so many wonderful,
wonderful, wonderful friends. <br />

Angie Plumb cleaned this old house every 2 weeks for near 16 years. Then she gave

Never in my wildest dreams did I envision a day when I’d agree with anything filmmaker Michael Moore said – much less that he would agree with me. But mirabile dictu, his new film, Planet of the Humans, is as devastating an indictment of wind, solar and biofuel energy as anything I have ever written.<br />
The documentary reflects Moore’s willingness to reexamine environmentalist doctrine. It’s soon obvious why more rabid greens tried to have the “dangerous film” banned. Indeed, Films for Action initially caved to the pressure and took Planet off its website, but then put it back up. The film is also on YouTube.<br />
Would-be censors included Josh Fox, whose Gasland film Irish journalists Phelim McAleer and Anne McElhinney totally eviscerated with their FrackNation documentary; Michael Mann, whose hockey stick global temperature graph was demolished by Canadian analysts Ross McKitrick and Steve McIntyre, and many others; and Stanford professor Mark Jacobson, who just got slapped with a potential $1-million penalty (in legal fees) for bringing a SLAPP (strategic litigation against public participation) and defamation lawsuit against a mathematician who criticized Jacobson’s renewable energy claims.<br />
These critics and their allies are rarely willing to discuss any climate or energy issues that they view as “settled science,” much less engage in full-throated debate with “deniers” or allow former colleagues to stray from the catechism of climate cataclysm and renewable energy salvation. They prefer lawsuits. But they sense the Planet documentary could be Fort Sumter in a green civil war, and they’re terrified.<br />
Their main complaint, that some footage is outdated, is correct but irrelevant. The film’s key point is the same as my own: wind, solar and biofuel energy are not clean, green, renewable or sustainable, and they are horrifically destructive to vital ecological values. The censors believe admitting that is sacrilegious.<br />
Director-narrator Jeff Gibbs never talks to coal, oil or natural gas advocates – or to “renewable” energy and “manmade climate crisis” skeptics. Instead, he interviews fellow environmentalists who are justifiably aghast at what wind, solar and biofuel projects are doing to scenic areas, wildlife habitats, rare and endangered species, and millions of acres of forests, deserts and grasslands. He peeks backstage to expose bogus claims that solar panels actually provided the electricity for a solar promotion concert.<br />
After speaking with “renewable” advocates in Lansing, Michigan, and learning that the Chevy Volt they’re so excited about is actually recharged by a coal-fired generating plant, Gibbs visits a nearby football-field-sized solar farm. It can power 50 (!) homes at peak solar intensity. Powering all of Lansing (not including the Michigan State University campus) would require 15 square miles of panels – plus wind turbines and a huge array of batteries (or a coal or gas power plant) for nights and cloudy days.<br />
The crew films one of those turbines being erected outside of town. Each one is comprised of nearly 5,000,000 pounds of concrete, steel, aluminum, copper, plastic, cobalt, rare earths, fiberglass and other materials. Every step in the mining, processing, manufacturing, transportation, installation, maintenance and (20 years later) removal process requires fossil fuels. It bears repeating: wind and sun are renewable and sustainable; harnessing them for energy to benefit mankind absolutely is not. (Go to 36:50 for a fast-paced mining tutorial on where all these “clean, green” technologies really come from.)<br />
Then they’re off to Vermont, where a wooded mountaintop is being removed to install still more wind turbines. Removing mountaintops to access coal, bad; to erect huge bird-killing wind turbines, good?<br />
An aerial shot features 350,000 garage-door-sized mirrors sprawling across six square miles of former Mojave Desert habitat – with the giant Ivanpah “solar” power plant in the center. The system gets warmed up each morning by natural gas-powered heaters, so that it can generate a little electricity by sundown.<br />
This “environmentally benign” solar facility now sits where 500-year-old yuccas and Joshua trees once grew. “Outdated” footage shows them being totally shredded to destroy any evidence they ever existed.<br />
Gibbs and Moore next discuss ethanol – and the corn, water, fertilizer and fossil fuels required to create this “clean, green, renewable” gasoline substitute, which emits lots of carbon dioxide when burned.<br />
Even worse is the total devastation of entire forests – clear cut, chopped into chips, maybe pelletized, and shipped hundreds or even thousands of miles ... to be burned in place of coal or natural gas to generate the electricity that makes modern homes, factories, hospitals, living standards and life spans possible. The crew gets “five seconds” to leave a denuded forest and “biomass” power plant area in Vermont – or be arrested. Haunting images of a bewildered indigenous native in Brazil and a terrified, mud-covered orangutan in Indonesia attest to the destruction wrought in the name of saving Earth from climate change.<br />
You’re left to wonder how many acres of corn, sugarcane or canola it took for Richard Branson to fly one biofuel-powered jet to mainland Europe. How many it would take to produce the 96 billion gallons of oil-based fuel the airline industry consumed in 2019. How many decades it will take to replace the millions of acres of slow-growth forest that are incinerated each year as a “carbon neutral” alternative to coal.<br />
“Is it possible for machines made by industrial civilization to save us from industrial civilization?” the producers wonder. “Renewable” energy systems last only 15-20 years, and then must be torn down and replaced, using more non-renewable resources, “if there’s enough planet left,” they say. “We’re basically being fed a lie.” Maybe we’d be “better off just burning fossil fuels in the first place,” than doing this.<br />
Indeed. But bear in mind, the devastation that so deeply concerns Moore and Gibbs is happening in a world that is still some 85% dependent on oil, natural gas and coal, 4% on nuclear and 7% on hydroelectric. Imagine what our planet would look like if we went 100% (pseudo)renewable under various Green New Deals: millions of wind turbines, billions of solar panels, billions of batteries, thousands of biofuel plantations and denuded forests, thousands of new and expanded mines, and more.<br />
But where some see devastation, others see opportunity. Or as Arnold Schwarzenegger says in the film, where some see the Mojave Desert as miles and miles of emptiness, he sees a vast “gold mine.” Al Gore sees endless millions in profits, a lovely seaside mansion and cushy private jets. Koch Industries sees bigger solar and biofuel empires. The Sierra Club and Union of Concerned Scientists envision raking in more millions off climate doom and renewable salvation, while 350.org founder Bill McKibben can’t seem to remember that the Rockefeller Brothers and other fat-cat foundations gave him millions of dollars, too.<br />
But Moore and Gibbs aren’t indicting free market capitalism. They’re indicting government-mandated and subsidized crony corporatist opportunism. And the solution they ultimately proffer isn’t recognizing that climate change has been “real” since Earth began; that humans and fossil fuels play only minimal roles amid the powerful natural forces that brought glacial epochs and interglacial periods, Medieval Warm Periods and Little Ice Ages; or that modern nuclear power plants generate abundant CO2-free electricity.<br />
Instead, they propose that we humans must “get ourselves under control.” This means not just slashing our living standards (may we all have “carbon footprints” as small as Al Gore’s) and “de-developing” and “de-industrializing” the United States and Europe, while simultaneously dictating to still impoverished nations how much they will be “permitted” to develop, in accordance with former Obama science advisor John Holdren’s totalitarian instincts. It also means having far fewer humans on this glorious planet. (How exactly that is to be achieved they don’t say, though several twentieth century dictators offer ideas.)<br />
This is where Planet of the Humans takes a troubling, wrongheaded, neo-Malthusian turn. But these final minutes should be viewed attentively, to understand what still motivates far too many “environmentalists,” who too often get lionized or even canonized for their devotion to Mother Earth – even if the price is measured in billions left in unimaginable poverty, malnutrition and energy deprivation, and millions dying long before they should.<br />
Michael Moore and Jeff Gibbs have done us a great service in exposing the environmental degradation from pseudo-renewable energy. Now they just need to reexamine neo-Malthusian doctrines as well.<br />

</span></span><span data-offset-key="fsvjm-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;"><span data-text="true" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a known that former administrations have turned some of our National Parks and monuments into collateral for said loans. </span>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Cowboy Church Sunday, January 20, 2019 National Western Coliseum </span><i> </i><br />
<br />
Thank you, Paul. I am hugely honored to be standing here and so grateful to be a Westerner. I’m also grateful for the National Western and for the strong leadership that has guided it in the past and guides it today to keep it relevant to the future of the American West.<br />
I’m especially honored that so many of those leaders are here, especially Nancy Petry who has taught me more about volunteerism and leadership than anyone—spending an hour with Nancy is like getting a Harvard MBA!<br />
Several months ago, when Paul invited me to speak at Cowboy Church, I went half-crazy trying to figure out what to say, there was so much I wanted to talk about and then finally, as usual, the Holy Spirit rescued me and said, Just talk about Jesus, the greatest Leader of them all.<br />
My story of salvation is not nearly as dramatic as many, but I’m hoping that it may resonate with some of you. If your life is in a big mess and you don’t know what to do, maybe I’m here this morning just for you.<br />
All my life, I have loved God and as unbelievable as it may be, for a long time, I wanted to be a nun until the Reverend Mother at my school in Paris told me to go live my life and if I was meant to come back, I would. Besides, even though I loved God, I didn’t get the whole Jesus-thing. I said I was “religious” whatever that means. If anyone had asked me if I were a Christian, I would have said, Yes! I go to church every week. But as my friend Joyce Meyer says, “You can sit in a garage all day and it still won’t make you a car.”<br />
There’s a lot more to being a Christian then meets the eye.<br />
My first five books, the Lilly Bennett Mystery Series, were set in a made-up town in Wyoming, Roundup, sort of like Denver, Wyoming. And they were all best-sellers but here’s the deal, unless you’re Annie Proulx or CJ Box, if you really want to crack into the big lists, don’t set your books in Wyoming because even if everyone in Wyoming buys and reads your books—which they did mine—there aren’t enough of them to move the needle. Which is why we all love Wyoming so much.<br />
But I always got fabulous national reviews and the books sold extremely well and all the booksellers and my fans were always really nice and happy to see me.<br />
Anyway, my agent and my editor at Doubleday said, you need to leave Wyoming, you live an international kind of life, write on a bigger canvas. So, I wrote Insatiable, based loosely on Kind Hearts and Coronets which was about a butler who worked for a criminal. My editor asked if I could write from a man’s point of view, and I said, Of course! No problem. Well, I found I really couldn’t write as a man, but I could write as a gay man. So, the protagonist was a gay butler named Nigel. Everyone thought the book was wonderful and hysterical and we were all excited about it. Doubleday planned a big tour. I always took fabulous book tours for which my beloved husband, Peter, picked up most of the tab.<br />
About eight-months before a book is released, bound galleys are sent to critics so their reviews are ready to go when the book is launched. Booksellers use the review in the trade publication, Publisher’s Weekly, to determine how many books to order. So, six months before Insatiable was released, the Publisher’s Weekly review appeared. It was scathing. A total hatchet job. A big bommo.<br />
And here’s the thing with a bad review—it’s not the sort of deal where you can say, Oh, don’t take it personally. It’s business. Well, in the fiction business, it is personal. It is you they don’t like. It’s like an actor who doesn’t get the part. It’s specifically him or her they don’t want. All-out public rejection. One-hundred-percent personal.<br />
I was absolutely devastated. Horrified. Humiliated. Deeply embarrassed. I called my agent and said, I’m cancelling the tour, and he said, this tour is not about this book, it’s about the next book which is much bigger.<br />
I began to stew. Get angry. And bitter and resentful. Not at all a common mind-set for me. My whole self-image was upside down.<br />
And, as a mystery writer, I started to think up ways to poison this critic—I didn’t even know his or her name. It was horrible. I was sure people were whispering about me behind my back, although I now know they weren’t—they’re were in their own little messes. I was more miserable than I had ever been in my life.<br />
A couple of months before the tour, I started watching Joyce Meyer, a TV preacher, at 5:00 every morning. I knew I needed God’s help. And I began to learn about Jesus and the Bible.<br />
I left on tour, starting in Seattle. When I got to the first bookstore, the largest in the Northwest, the bookseller had not ordered any copies of my book and said she’d told the publisher and cancelled the appearance. Sorry if the word had not gotten through. You cannot imagine how embarrassed I was. That night in my little suite in the Four Seasons, I couldn’t sleep—I knew the only person who could help me was Jesus. And I said out loud, I know I need You, but I don’t know what to do.<br />
And I heard His voice, as clearly as you can hear mine, say, Just close your eyes and take My hand.<br />
And I did. I handed over my life to Jesus.<br />
And I was completely changed. Just like that. In the twinkling of an eye. And I haven’t had a bad day since, even though I’ve had some really lousy ones. Like Joseph, what man meant for my harm, God meant for my good.<br />
A mean old farmer had an old mule who fell down a well. The farmer said, He’s an old mule and not much good any more. I don’t want to spend the money to hoist him out of there. I’ll just bury him. So he and his farm hand began to shovel dirt on top of the mule and after a couple of days, the mule stopped crying, and the men kept shoveling. What they didn’t realize was that every time they threw a load of dirt on top of the mule, he shook it off and stomped it down. Imagine their surprise when, one day, the mule just walked out of the well.<br />
The point of this story is that there is no pit so deep that God cannot reach in and lift you out.<br />
All you have to do is close your eyes and hold out your hand. And He’ll handle the rest.<br />
Amen.<br />

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">With a 48-hour notification to Congress, the President
of the United States has the power to “unilaterally order military action in
defense <span style="background: white; color: #222222;">of the United States
pursuant to a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its
territories or possessions, or its armed forces.”</span></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 14.0pt;">Ongoing
attacks upon the United States come by ways including cyber, economic, arms, Sharia,
trade, and physical.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 14.0pt;">The illegals invasion at our borders, is a physical attack that President Trump
correctly addressed by notifying Congress intent to send in troupes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 14.0pt;">Then he
did. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 14.0pt;">A “defense” President Trump recognizes as one way to protect Americans, is a border
wall. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">But those in Congress who enjoy and need the illegals
invasion, refuse Trump the dollars to build the wall.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-size: 14.0pt;">Here’s a non-partisan, doable solution President
Trump could deploy - and -without approval of Congress; use the Mandatory
Budget. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">The
hard cost of handling “illegal” immigration is over $130 billion annually. One
can’t put a price on the erosion of rights and psychological toll on U.S. Citizens. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Here’s
the sound argument President Trump could give: Consider the Wall as Preventive
Care for all Americans equally. </span><br />
<u style="font-size: 14pt;"><i><br /></i></u>
<u style="font-size: 14pt;"><i>The benefits of the Wall as Preventive Care would include:</i></u></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">c) Dramatically reduce the $130 billion spent on illegals.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">d) Annual Wall maintenance would be a tiny fraction of
the maintenance of illegals.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">e) Prevent entry of diseases, viruses, bacteria, noxious

<br />
After reading about Kid Rock's debacle in calling Joy Behar a bitch, Chuck and I talked about the obvious double standards and hate speech. <br />
We thought it'd be interesting to make a list of the non-stop stream of hate speech, vile names and death calls really stupid (or evil) people subject Farmers, Ranchers, Roustabouts, Fishermen and Loggers too. <br />
Then I happen to see comments on an article about Ammon Bundy's illegal immigration difference with President Trump. <br />
The following rants against Ammon are actually conservative compared to most I've read against Farmers and Ranchers.<br />
Evil simply pours out of each pore of some humans.<br />
<br />
+++++++++++++++++++ <br />
<br />
"Who cares what this miserable low life POS has to say. He should be spending the rest of his pathetic life in prison after what he and the rest of the degenerate low life scum did to Malhuer. They trashed the place, destroyed years worth of research, destroyed Native American artifacts. To bad more of them didn't end up like that LaVoy scum did, face down in a snowbank." <br />
"Ammon is a goofy grifter, a welfare "rancher" whom steals from the taxpayers, and he has been kicked in the head many times by a horse. Yet even though he's moronic, he knows Fat Donnie is stupid. WTF?" <br />
<br />
<div>
+++++++++++++++++++ <br />
As you read these peoples hate speech, please note these corrections: First guy misspelled Mulheur; Mulheur was vacant (it was winter) of employees etc.; those who were at Malheur did not trash it, didn't touch research, did not destroy NA artifacts etc. In real time, they were kind of like a film crew in that they left Mulheur in better shape than it was.<br />
The second guy's tag - "LaVoy scum"- was in reference to a gentleman by the name of LaVoy Finicum. He was blocked and shot dead by law enforcement, as he was driving to meet with the County Sheriff.<br />
And "welfare rancher?" Well, people like the before refenced rant call farmers subsidized assholes.<br />
The attached photo is a sign left on cut fences in Wyoming. It's one of many examples of "hate speech."<br />
Urbanites who've never studied a budget or had to spend more than 10% of their discretionary income on food, have zero concept of an Ag person's property rights or what goes into growing anything. Much of their misperception of the Ag world is perpetuated by the Farm Bill; for its budget includes Food Stamps and School Lunch Programs.<br />
Elected officials refuse to correctly place Food Stamps and School Lunch Programs into Human Health Services.<br />
I think they like perpetuating a "welfare" image of farmers and ranchers, and pitting urban against rural; makes it easier for them to steal from farmers and ranchers.<br />
Anyway, if you want to see passive aggressive hate speech, watch Oprah, Michelle and Barack Obama. <br />
If you want to see in-your-face hate speech, watch The View, Bill Maher, any on air CNN or MSNBC person, John Brennan, Eric Swalwell, Chuck Schumer and so forth. <br />
If you want to do a side-by-side comparative of the aforementioned hate speech versus the intelligent, thoughtful ways of say Mychal Massie, James Woods, Thomas Sowell, David Limbaugh, Walter Williams and Steve S. Goddard, go to tweeter. <br />
Even if you're tempted, please don't engage in hate speech.<br />
If you still choose to engage in hate speech, at the least protect yourself -by becoming a leftist! <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Guess what folks? My Denver</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">neighbor earned his living selling updated I.R.S. regulations to C.P.A.'s. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Now think about that. Even 40</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">years ago, taxes were so complex, that one had to hire a C.P.A. to do them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Instead of getting simpler,</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">they're now so complicated one needs to retain both an Attorney and a C.P.A.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Listen up a second. To me, the</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">way the I.R.S. lays out options and instructions online, makes it easy to </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">navigate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">You can get a lot of work done</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">online. An option you didn't have yesterday! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">BUT, should you do that, and your</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">C.P.A. or attorney finds out, they're quick to inform, "You should have </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">had ME do it!" </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">BOY that irritates me! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Why? </span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Because parallel to I.R.S.'s</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">simplification, Attorneys and C.P.A.'s have mystified it! It seems they want to </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">maintain a level of confusion and fear that should you "do something </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">wrong, you'll suffer heavy penalties!" </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Do they want you to be dependent</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">on them? I wonder. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Most of us can't afford to retain a C.P.A. to do our taxes; </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">much less an attorney. And when one does shell out the bucks to do so, often, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">the attorneys, C.P.A.'s and I.R.S. agents get into big quibbles over </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">interpretation minutia in the continuing fluidity of regulations. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">There shouldn't be such a thing as a "master’s in taxation." It's really just some slug trying to keep on top of the regs, so YOU don't get in a pickle with the I.R.S.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">This is unacceptable! Period!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Taxes should be </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">so simple, that even I can do them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">A real solution to taxation is to </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">eliminate taxing one’s income and go to a straight consumer tax. That way, each </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">person who purchases something while on American soil, will contribute towards </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">America's maintenance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The American Consumer Tax is worth a serious look. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">As many of you, I too received</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">this notice from Senator Michael Bennett:</span><br />

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><i>Toooo Chipper</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> Am recalling an overly chipper little gal who tried giving a motivational talk to a bunch of farmers. </span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> Glazing over, they just shoulder slumped endured and looked at her. </span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> Afterwards, I felt compelled to explain to the young woman, "The reason they didn't respond, is because they're the most beat up industry in the U.S."</span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> "Our ranchers and farmers are under non-stop attacks by the EPA, ESA, USDA, DOI, government partnered eco-criminal groups like TNC, Sierra club, Earthjustice and World Wildlife Foundation, Al Gore, BLM, Forest Service, Federal Reserve, USFWS, Army Corps of Engineers, animal rights groups like HSUS, PETA and ASPCA, WATER THIEVES, conservation easements and too often their own ag organizations!" </span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> I continued, "Farming and ranching are FULL time jobs. When they have to leave their jobs to go into town for meetings to try and protect their jobs, they accrue heavy expenses. Contrast that to the fact that the attackers are PAID to attack. Believe me, they're exhausted! They're overwhelmed!"</span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> She curtly responded, "I give this talk to many groups. They love it."</span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> Herein lays the problem; she, like most, only hear themselves. </span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> Lazy, they demand "one size fits all!"</span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> It doesn't. Not in trade, needs, media, work, education, food, love, welfare, songs, thinking and so on.</span><br />
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> Being chipper to someone who's just climbed out of hell never fits.

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Voters voted for evil ones posing as Democrats. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Over the years, evil ones have fooled people into thinking THEY are Democrats - and the ones who feed them. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now, like Pavlov's dogs, the fooled salivate when they see a Democrat. </span></span><br />

They explained the requirement of "federal" connection, and politely asked that I comeback if/when I found that connection.<br />Respective of Ford's demand of F.B.I. investigation into a 36 year old private matter, I wholly "get" the F.B.I.'s decline.<br />A little something I am pondering though, is if this obviously deliberate obstruction of a Kavanaugh vote now constitutes "federal crime." Why? Because of its cost on We the people!<br />Now. If YOU had all the verifiable, documented information that I have on the Water theft, what would YOU do with it?<br />I'm serious now.<br />Please don't blast out the same O same O denegrations of a political party, or slams on individuals. Those aren't "solutions."<br />I'm looking for affirmative solutions that will stop the Water theft!<br />Water theft is: Takings without just compensation; causes significant destruction of property; devalutes property and violates Water Law.<br />Know that!<br />It's fact!<br />Not just some mind visit by a fuzzy bygone.</span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873851749027684580.post-27767862829335327802018-08-20T10:49:00.004-07:002018-08-21T06:11:27.071-07:00WATER KLEPTOCRATS<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

But, there's not one damn thing we can do to stop them!<br />Why?<br />Well, using Colorado as one example, the thieves include elected officials (past and present), government, media and private corps.<br />Stealing Water generates such a strong "revenue stream," they can retain lobbyists, attorneys and judges that embolden them to threaten, "You just try and stop us. We'll sue you!"<br />Anyway, I've found a place to put the Water thievery; out in the open, for all to see!<br />Expect the unveiling in a couple weeks.<br />If you find it worth investigating, thank my Doctors. Not me.<br />In looking forward to retirement, I remain...Thank God.</span><br />

<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">For illegal immigrants, education, learning the English language and how to do things

For this to fully work there must be participation expectation from their Mother country until they become a U.S. Citizen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">For
each illegal immigrant educated and provided medical care prior to activation of Sponsor Party, the U.S. deserves
compensation, whether through the barter for goods - or real dollars. Example: With countries that are short on
money, but have an ample supply of gas, oil, minerals etc., U.S. should barter an
exchange of their resources equal to services rendered to illegal immigrant. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">This morning I asked, "The horribles pitched Russian Collusion at Trump. Then Stormy Daniels. Now immigration. What's next in their script?"</span><br />
<a class="profileLink" data-hovercard-prefer-more-content-show="1" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=100003097023068&extragetparams=%7B%22fref%22%3A%22mentions%22%7D" href="https://www.facebook.com/don.gay.102?fref=mentions" style="background-color: white; color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Don Gay</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"> answered, "Probably circle back to global warming."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Yup!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Chuck Schumer, Alijah Cummings, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff - and for sure some vile putrid late night hate pusher (Why are they called comedians? They're not funny.) will come up with another something using 'babies;" their weapon of choice. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Something like: "Donald Trump hates babies. He's trying to murder them because he refuses to tithe to Al Gore's Church of Anthropocentric Global Warming. Without those tithes, Al won't be able to buy sun screen for the babies. Trump WANTS babies to burn to a crisp! DEMAND Trump issue an executive order, that all taxpayers tithe to Al!" </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Anyway, it'll be something connected to babies. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Growing up on the farm, I never gave Dad much thought. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">He was just there. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">"Feelings" never entered the day. You had work to do and you did it.</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br />What I knew is that Dad was my "buddy!"<br />I spent more time with Dad outside, than with Mom inside.<br />After "the boys" (my 3 older brothers) left the farm, Dad and I were in charge of 140 acres and about 45 Holsteins.<br />One day, Mom and Dad got into a huge fight over me: "But Ronald," Mom shouted, "You don't understand. It's time for her to come into the house and learn to be a lady!"<br />"But Anita," Dad quietly answered, "I need her outside."<br />I was about 13 years of age, and very, very proud that both of them "needed" me.<br />Dad and I crippled along for 3 full years, calling it a wrap when I was 16. <br />I ran the dairy and Dad did all the field work.<br />Sick of milking cows and not being able to do anything fun with the "city kids," I was beyond joyful when we sold the farm and moved "to town."<br />But I still didn't give Dad much thought.<br />Until later years. After he'd died.<br />Dad was always cheerful. Always singing. Always kidding around. Always laughing. Always whistling.<br />That was just Dad. I took his cheerfulness for granted!<br />As an adult, I began pondering on stuff like: How'd he get off that tractor, clean up, put on his suit, suck on a lemon and drive into town to "sing a solo" at a wedding, funeral, choir?<br />Dad rarely missed Thursday choir practice and Sunday choir.<br />Dad taught me how to drive a tractor, pull a loaded hay wagon down a steep hill without jackknifing, hay mow terraces without tipping over, and use the hydraulic lift on the Ford tractor (he bought for me) to help pound in fence posts. </span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I learned how to wash utters, pre-milk, milk with automatic milkers and strip, look for and doctor mastitis, then hose out the barn and backwash all the equipment.<br />The only times Dad would get stern with me, is if I bulked trying to play opera songs so he could rehearse. Yes, he even sang opera. Mom made him a clown costume and he sang Pagliacci.<br />How'd he do all that he did?<br />I'll never know.<br />What I do know, is that he was my buddy.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">At the Wyoming Stock Growers meet this past week, many ranchers asked me to look into "The Fremont County Public Lands Initiative" </span><a href="http://fcpli.com/">http://fcpli.com/</a><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">First of all, "Public" Lands is incorrect. Should read "Federal Split Estate Lands." </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">After reviewing the website, I began reviewing websites of groups who are interested in using said lands. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Shouldn't have. My blood pressure started up again.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Why? </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Because comments about "damn old ranchers & welfare cowboys" reigned. Many potential users hate Range Allotment Owners! </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Sure. I wanted to rip into their ignorance, but settled down and thought on it all instead. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Here's the deal.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The Federal Government is the progenitor of such hate. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">How's that?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Through their deliberate misleading of the public. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Yes. That's right. Federal Government employees and elected officials refuse to correct "public" to "federal-split estate." </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">How come? </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Well...not sure, but, history's told us "it's because Federal Government employees and elected officials are in bed with eco-criminals and greedy bastards whose whole mission is to control all land and water in the U.S."</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I could go into detail, but darn't all, I've been working outside all day and am tired and in need of a beer. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">So I'll leave you with this. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Please DEMAND the Federal Government quit misleading YOU! </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">There are NO "public" lands in the U.S. Government's inaccurate referencing perpetuates an "attractive nuisance," that is harmful to everyone.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Here it is, melted down for your convenience.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The debates are always between those who think they're entitled to another's property, and those protecting everyone's property. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">To own property is the foundation of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Make no mistake. Government agencies including EPA, DOI and USDA - and their private sector pals use excess feral horses, Planned Parenthood, illegal immigrants, conservation easements, endangered species, Al Gore's faux</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">weather, monument designations, twisting water law and so on as weapons to illegally seize control of property.<br />Because our Domestic Resource Providers have to have land and water in order to provide the world food, fuel and shelter, property seizers have attack them forever.<br />Now, our Domestic Resource Providers recognize all the signs. They can spot a "takings without just compensation" the minute the seizer trespasses their property.<br />Well funded, plus having the perk of the entire DOJ covering their booties, seizers will bully, threaten, intimidate, fine, jail, sue, imprison and murder....instead of sitting down at the kitchen table with the property owner, and properly work out the "real estate" transaction.<br />Some brag, "Oh Obama. He had a corruption free tenure."<br />My answer, "Not to property owners!"<br />How's that? Well, just look at all the corrupt property seizures he supported...still supports.<br />Obama came awfully close to annihilating America's entire Domestic Resource Production.<br />Obama's actions to kill America's timber, fishing, coal mining, farming, ranching, energy industries were the ultimate in corruption.<br />Obama knows, that to control the people, you must control the food.<br />To be fair though, many past presidents, including the Bushs and Clinton, didn't recognize private property rights.<br />I think the main reason the Trump-haters hate Trump, is because like a feral child with their hand in someone's pocketbook, they hate that Trump's found them out.<br />As Dr. Angus McIntosh states, "If the government could take your property "legally," they would have done so years ago."</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873851749027684580.post-72012449385608136702018-05-18T12:43:00.005-07:002018-05-18T12:43:59.065-07:00WATER LAW 101 <br />

<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Colorado
Water Law, "first in time, first in right," is extremely easy to
understand: Water dates of appropriation "go with the flow." <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Sure.
Hydrology is complex. Water "law" is not. If there's no water,
there's no water. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Governor
Hickenlooper keeps harping, "We need water to keep up with the population
growth." <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I ask,
"Why?" <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">This is a
semi-arid desert. We don't have water. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Yet
developers from Denver to Las Vegas, barge in with unreasonable, unattainable
demands for water. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">We have a
some of Delph Carpenter's books on the Colorado River Compact. Nowhere does the
compact state that Colorado should be denied delivery because of Las Vegas
demands.</span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Like most
compacts, including the Colorado - Nebraska compact, the Colorado River Compact
is forgiving respective of variable climatic conditions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Because
Colorado water law is not being enforced, there are some who are being
significantly harmed, some who are becoming significantly wealthy, and most who
just don't care...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Side
point of interest: In our books, I found this letter to Delph Carpenter from
President Herbert Hoover.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

When Bernie Madoff was convicted in 2009, I put in print, "Al Gore's scam will make Madoff's look like a teensy school pencil box theft!" </div>

1) Will you debate any one of the 32,000 scientists whose findings don't correlate with your scientists?<br />
2) Quite often you say such as: "Here is what scientists have found..." Will you please name these scientists?<br />
3) Will you come to my home and demonstrate your product? If not, please explain in detail: Your product; its benefits; its cons; why you think a person needs it; its cost; its performance.<br />
4) Has your product been test marketed? If so, where may I read the results?<br />
5) Where is your product manufactured? US, off shore?<br />
6) Tell me how much of my money (too often and incorrectly referred to as federal funding) have you received to promote and persuade governments to mandate my purchase of it?<br />
7) What if your product is found defective? Will you refund my money? Does your product come with a warranty?<br />
8) Will you happily appear before the senate (as per Senator Inhofe's request), and defend your product?<br />
9) Do you know of any hard working, decent, honest safe energy providers who are under threat of loosing their jobs because of plant shut down, taxes and regulations by federal government, due to your claims about your product?</div>
