F**K You, Feds II

 

 Bureau of Land Management Plans

A prior post was about the BLM’s plans in Wyoming seemed to spark some interest among readers. This is a follow up. Key.

“That’s because it represents an attempt by the Biden administration to exercise authority over public land that only Congress has,” he said. “Congress declares how this (BLM) land is to be used. And it’s for multiple use, not preservation.”

Another point of view, tree hugger edition.

Note the snide reference to Cliven Bundy?

Future Tech or Current Booddogggle?

As a Latter Day Luddite I can’t decide. Along the lines of even a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally, a federal program might achieve something of value. Bluntly, my math and science skills are so woeful I don’t understand the technology or theories.

Smug Liberal Unicorns and Rainbows.

 At first, this wasn’t going in the blog. Total bullshit. What changed was rethinking the way her message is written.

This is clearly an educated person who writes a well crafted opinion.

What comes through, to me, is the clear liberal mindset that those who disagree with them are ignorant. She points this out in what, may seem to her, a kind way much like one speaks to a child. A faint tone of irritation seeps through. Why would anyone doubt her brilliant conclusions? Her other opinions posted on The Colorado Sun have the same “better than thou” tone.

The rag leans left but has enough content the America Media Maggots (h/t BZ) ignore, I find it  of some value. Whether I continue to pay to subscribe is under consideration.

A rebuttal. Colorado is more than the Front Range, Fort Collins to Pueblo. The state is 103,641 square miles. Much is sparsely settled. Much of the state isn’t favorable to electric vehicles. The state has extreme climate variations. I wonder what, if any, electric vehicles are suitable for a trip from Boulder to, say, Cortez in March?

I’ve personally driven 100,000 miles in a Prius. I was paid to drive one 420 miles a day, three days a week, from Northern Colorado to Wheatland, WY, then Scottsbluff, NE, and finally DIA. I have a very low opinion of the two the employer supplied. Real life, 42 MPG, dangerous on snow covered roads and no protection should you hit an animal.

Headline.

For second year in a row, domestic violence deaths in Colorado reach all-time high in 2022

Devil in the details. In 2022, 94 deaths. In 2021, 91 deaths. Clearly, a need for more robust Red Flag laws. Colorado 2021 population was 5,812,000 + or -.

For the record, I abhor domestic violence and have never struck a woman . Rarely raised my voice no matter how angry or provoked. Tried to set the right example with my three sons.

Five million dollars is chickenfeed, right? Provides employment for people to ‘study’, not to implement anything.

Why not just give the Union Pacific the money with the stipulation it is used to restart rail service? They are more likely to know how to run a railroad.

 As always, YMMV

Domestic Violence


Domestic violence against men. Does it happen? Yes, it does.

http://www.dailyfinance.com/2010/01/30/a-hidden-crime-domestic-violence-against-men-is-a-growing-probl/

My ex daughter in law has been in two marriages and at least two cohabitations. Every one of her partners has been arrested for domestic violence. She is the one who calls the police. She is 5’ tall. In this state, someone has to go to jail. I wonder if there is any data base listing the “victims” of domestic violence?  She has a conviction for vehicular assault; for running her first husband down with her truck.

Privacy concerns limit what I say here. Please accept I've had a lot of exposure, within my many relatives, children, ex spouse, etc., to this issue. For the record, I've never hit a woman but, damn, that mouth just keeps running. Walk away, we are told. OK, what about the safety of the minors in the home? Why  shouldn't the out of control woman be the one to leave?

I understand police officer’s frustrations with these calls. Two hot heads, often intoxicated,  and too often dangerous.  Major lying. Solution? Cuff and stuff one and let the courts sort it out.

Smarter people than me haven’t solved this problem. I do think every complainant needs to be looked at, at some point, to see if they are the problem. If they are habitual, they need to feel the weight of the law.
