F**K You, Feds


 Wyoming, Stand Firm!

Unelected bureaucrats with no skin in the game, but with their own agendas, constantly interfere with citizens. In this case, an area in Wyoming often called the Red Desert.

Look, you trust fund snot, your fellow Wyoming citizens kicked you to the curb. Too bad you are missing out on all that graft. Given what you already have, we doubt you will go hungry.

Frontier Justice

Some Wyoming history. This period interests me as many of my ancestors lived in the area and had interactions with some of the outlaws.  Among our great aunts and uncles it was impolite to suggest any of them, or their parents, aunts, and uncles were actual participants in any of these activities.

This blog seems to be getting comments that have little to say about specific points in the blog. Rather, the comments are political in nature. So long as the commenters put a name with their comments I’m letting them stand. So far, nothing has come from a liberal point of view. If some are, I will let them stand. What impact any of these comments will have on people, the 100 or so who view most  posts, is likely minimal.

Wyoming

Why so much Wyoming in this post? I was born in Wyoming, done and still do business in Wyoming, and come from a homogeneous geographic area split by an artificial line. (Northwest Colorado/Southwest Wyoming). I always feel at home in Wyoming.

 As always, YMMV.

The drive through that area on I-80 has some stunning scenery, weather permitting! Good for Wyoming! It's about time the states start telling FEDGOV to go pound sand....

Cheney was worse than just a RINO. She was more like double-agent...

I understand your connection to the past. In a similar vein, none of my Grandparents, Aunts, or Uncles had *anything at all* to do with the availability of certain items during the Prohibition. No sir, nothing at all....

And I had some shady friends in the "Auto Recycling" business. I have a story I'll tell you about it someday.

I, too, have a special feeling for Wyoming. The Summer between grade-school and high-school was the Summer I spent in Idaho. We drove all the way out on the newly opened Interstate 80, and went through Wyoming on the way to Utah. Driving through Wyoming was a treat for an amateur Rock Hound like me, and I was always bugging my Dad to pull over so I could "collect some samples". There was a superb steakhouse in Laramie, and at the end of the Summer when we were headed back, I begged my Dad to stop there for dinner. I grew up in the flat lands, and we had an unobstructed view of the horizon in 360*, but it never prepared me for the truly Big Sky look and feeling that you get here "Out West". The last time I experienced it was the first time we came out here, and we took 287 up to Virginia Dale to (attempt to) see the Pony Express Station remains. The view is so expansive that it's jaw dropping. And it looks like the End of the World when there's some heavy weather rolling in from the NW. Just stunning, and I'm in love with this part of the country.

Interesting set of 'issues' today... And BLM is NOT making friends anywhere these days!

Once you have recovered you might take that trip to Adobe Town in the Red Desert. Some places seem to belong on another planet.

Ditto for the USFS

I just found a news article about my great grandpa who was arrested along with another fellow for moonshine in Nov 1921. Other fellow bonded out, but Grandpa Dave told the reporter that he planned on serve his term. He had lost his wife 29 years earlier and the kids were gone. Said it was pretty warm in jail and they served two meals a day. He thought it might be better than going back to his homestead for the winter.

Sounds like a smart man.

Interesting no Cheney was quoted in the the Wyoming / BLM article.

The family is centered around Jackson Hole, an ugly blue pimple on a Red State. She graduated from Colorado College in CO Springs. A bastion of liberalism, last Commencement she was the speaker. Many of the graduates turned their backs on her during the speech.

I hope that BLM is thwarted. While the acronyms are the same---oh, so is the politics.

The BLM needs to focus on 'management, not control.

One of the many things I like about this post is its headline.

The abbreviation fits two organizations.
Both make me sick to my stomach.

Was it really necessary for Biden to spend untold thousands to fly to Israel and read from CUE CARDS?
This is RIDICULOUS! He can’t even express himself talking to Benjamin Netanyahu telling him about what happened to the Hospital last night! Benjamin Netanyahu
What this Potatohead is doing could have been done on camera from the Oval office for free. But instead we spend a ridiculous amount of money to pump up Biden, and try to make him look responsible, but he is even failing at that!. . The man claims to be a foreign policy expert as the rest of the world is all aflame. He sure as hell doesn't belong in a war cabinet meeting in Israel’s Prim Minister. .

COME HOME AND ADDRESS OUR PROBLEM at the SOUTHERN BORDER instead, We are better off without him. He don’t belong where Grown-Up’s are seriously talking about an Importing issue.
By the way, Biden didn't even mention the American citizens that are being held by HAMAS as Hostage’s
And on another note: What is an AIRHEAD like Cory Booker doing besides making a clown out of himself? He has NO business getting involve in this situation.

I hadn't made that connection. I agree.

Yesterday we saw Hundreds of Jewish American protesters entered a congressional building to DEMAND a CEASEFIRE in the Israel-Hamas war, prompting some Republicans to describe their actions as an "Insurrection."

Two Jewish anti-Zionist groups, Jewish Voice for Peace and If Not Now, staged a sit-in inside the rotunda of the Cannon House Office Building on Wednesday, calling on Congress to push for an immediate Ceasefire and prevent an expected Israeli ground offensive in Gaza.

"To the best of our knowledge, they were all arrested," Meyerson-Knox told Newsweek. Photos showed the protesters being restrained with zip-ties and led out of the building by officers.

The U.S. Capitol Police said 305 people were arrested, including three people who were charged with assault on a police officer.

However, the GOP has it all wrong. This was NOT, , NOT in any way, shape or form an insurrection!

Let me explain why this is true!.

1. No one wore a Viking hat. You can't have an insurrection without a man running round with a Viking hat.

2. This was a mostly peaceful and mostly legal protest. Sure, they assaulted a police officer and broke laws that caused them to get arrested within the building. Big deal. But were any of the unalarmed protestors shot dead by police at the Capital? No !. This tells me that the police did not feel threatened when assaulted by protestors. Also, they were breaking laws within the building until later when they started Chanting , then they were arrested for making un-necessary noise . We all know they will get out the next day instead of being held in jail for 50 years or mor like REPUBLICAN insurrectionists..

3. These were democrat Leftists. And Democrats can't be racist, they also can't be an insurrectionist. Duh! For example, Hamas is a Leftists organization that is hell bent on the destruction of the Jewish state. However, they can never be racist nor terrorists because they are on the Left. Therefore, they are free to be-head babies and parade Naked women up and down the streets, and torture women young and elderly, and Kidnap Americans and hold them hostage as long as they wish and it's all good, but once the dirty Jews come after them, then it's oppression and apartheid Right?

4 Rep. Rashida Tlaib led the illegal protest that assaulted a police officer. You can't call it an “Insurrection” when the leader of the illegal activity is an active and sitting member of Congress. Plus, no Viking hat, so no points there. After all, only Trump belongs in jail compared to all of our fine law-abiding members of Congress with their Gold bars and Insider trading, etc.

5. Trump condemned the protestors that broke laws at the Capital and condemned any assaults on the police. However, Rashida Tlaib praised these things, just like she praised the death of the Jewish and American scum by the thousands at the hands of the glorious freedom fighters of Hamas!

So don't let any of your MAGA friends tell you there is a two-tiered justice system in the US today. Just get up in their face and start screaming, "No justice no peace!" like the deranged characters you see allover the Streets Protesting all the time!
Yes, indeed. There was No insurrection here.

You can Bitch and Whine all you want about how it was during Trump’s years.
As for me, I don’t have any problems seeing advertisements featuring Latinos, Native Americans, Asians, Pacific Islanders, Eastern Indians and giving them some identity and significance as well. Why are some of these ethnicities being ignored? And what the heck was all that NONSENSE about Whites? Supposedly, we live in the melting pot known as America – not Africa, perhaps corporations should do a better job of diversity instead of caving in to Black privilege. And WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO BIDEN’S DIVERSIFY? This White BOY would like to know!

Probably because the Media is the most gullible consumers, so the marketers go after them. If they can be sold “Rap” as real music, they can be sold anything. Same with daytime TV. Who else sits around watching any of that crap?
And now, Guess what, they are doing the exact same thing with the LGBTQ’s and Guess what again? They are shoving that down our throats and the American public has gotten SICK of it and they are rebelling.
While Donald Trump was President, he oversaw a massive enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws. Unfortunately, Joe Biden is so rabidly against Trump that he reversed course when he became president. The result has been an enormous border crisis where tens of thousands are held in cramped conditions.

And Americans have had enough of Biden fumbling the ball. A new Harvard/Harris poll just came out that showed 80% of Americans believe illegal immigration is a serious issue that needs more attention from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
So the truth is that we have a semi-Brain-dead President, who is a proven liar and who is thoroughly corrupt, peddling the influence of his office to hostile foreign adversaries for several decades. And who is both ignorant and grossly harmful when it comes to foreign and domestic policies. A man that couldn’t see the difference between a Weather Balloon, and a Spy Balloon, or who didn’t care!!
And a Wacky, Grinning, Prune- Faced, Dense, Cackling, brainless, Idiot waiting in the wings to become the First Female American President.
The truth is that they wouldn’t be the smartest people in the room, even if they were alon

Hamas is a corrupt, militant Terrorist group that rules Gaza with an Iron Fist, so the big question must be asked, and resolved : If Israel decimates Hamas, and I truley feel that they will,, who will govern Gaza? Who will be the next in line ? What better choice will the have than those slimy, two-faced, Pro-Palestinian Squad that smells up the House of Representatives? The members who routinely Denigrate, Disparage, and who Damage America and Are Openly Anti-america, Anti-israel, and Anti-Semitic?

And, for their Supreme Leader, how about that Big Mouthed Squad Member Rashida Tlaib who is proudly flying a Palestinian Flag right now next to an American Flag right outside the door of her Congressional office. What better choice is there then to have another bunch of IDIOTS doing the job? It seems like they always have all the answers anyway!
And of course the mentally ill, and corrupt Joe Biden, who has the Stupidity to stands in Israel and announces that he’s giving a $100 million gift of the taxpayer money to Israel’s biggest and closest enemy in the guise of a “humanitarian gift.” Filtered through a notoriously corrupt Pro-Palestinian United Nations and various progressive non-governmental organizations.

We all heard the announcement... “Today, I’m also announcing a $100 million dollar package n funding for humanitarian assistance in both Gaza and the West Bank. This money will support more than 1 million displaced and conflict-affected Palestinians, including emergency needs in Gaza.” as he refuses to freeze 6 Billion dollar gift that he had already given to Iran   Who targets Israel and is the worlds biggest Nation of Terrorists

Joe Biden, who never does ANYTHING right, has reall yScrewed Up again this time. . The idiot gave $6 Billion to Iran, and consequently we now are seeing attacks coming from Iran, and Iran's proxies. Biden who also gave hundreds of Million of $$$ to the Palestinians, has just promised to give them another 100 million..
So, in retrospect, we have the American people and Israel on two different sides. . On one side is Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Palestinians, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Joe Biden.
We, REAL Americans as always, are firmly united with Israel. So, lets call it like it really is, we are actually at war against our "Own" President.
Those people out there who are protesting in favor of the Palistinions. They don’t understand what they had done to Israel that started this war! They can’t be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, remorse, shame, or any patriotism .... And they absolutely do not know what the hell they are doing! They are just following what they were told by their University Professors. .So if you support Biden giving Iran $6 Billion, and Hundreds of Millions of dollars to the Palestinians you're at war against America too.
Leftists just can't avoid deflecting the subject from Biden's idiocy, to Trump. The real Fact is, while Trump was the President, there was peace. Now, 600 Israelis are DEAD, and us Americans ore suffering the consequences.
