I don't get this Nevada cowboy thing.


Posted: Apr 12, 2014

I don't like big government involvement in anything really, but why was this cowboy allowing his cattle to graze on government land? Shouldn't they have been grazing on his land? Does this mean that for all these years, the government (taxpayers) was paying for his cows to be fed and watered?

Many cattle are grazed on BLM land - Valley Girl

and the cattle owners pay a fee. This BLM thing is very complicated. A good thing is that the range gets observed so it is not overgrazed, but a bad thing is that BLM, currently, under pressure of cattle owners, are trying to destroy wild horses, despite the 1971 law to protect wild horses. BLM always claims that wild horses are reproducing like crazy, but every picture I have seen of herds have been of modest herds. Then, BLM has taken some of these herds and warehoused them in feedlots, paying friends of BLM, to feed them. Interestingly, there have been accounting problems in this arrangement as it has been proven that some of these horses have been shipped to slaughter in Mexico. So much for our national wild horses. See Wild Horse Education.com for more information.

I find it agonizing that the same things that drove Wild Horse Annie to urge protection (see Mustang: Wild Spirit of the West by M. Henry) in the 50s, 60s, is happening again.

for a Chinese company to buy this land to build their solar energy plant on the land.

Bundy’s land is within the “Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone and surrounding area” which is part of a broad U.S. Department of Energy program for “Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States” on land “managed” by BLM.

On another note, they are confiscating Bundy's cattle now, which is his living. As Bundy has said, he's willing to pay Nevada the land fees but the BLM just took over this land a couple years ago and they don't have any right to the state's land.

It is complicated but it's a land grab by the government and Nevada isn't the only place threatened. .

(Reuters) U.S. Senator Harry Reid recognized nine years ago that connections between his official duties and the lobbying activities of his relatives could lead to ethical questions.

In 2003, the Nevada Democrat publicly banned relatives from lobbying him or his staff after newspaper reports showed that Nevada industries and institutions routinely turned to Reid's sons or son-in-law for representation.

Now, questions surrounding family ties are flaring again in Nevada around the Senate majority leader. He and his oldest son, Rory, are both involved in an effort by a Chinese energy giant, ENN Energy Group, to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel manufacturing plant in the southern Nevada desert.

Thank You NevadaJul 22, 2011
Ironic.  Mr. Reid rejects the only plan actually voted upon in Congress and tells the other legislative body to do something as he sits with his finger up his posterior failing to offer ONE concrete solution legislatively.  A huge thank you to Nevada for re-electing this worthless piece of crap.  I'm about to the point where republicans should just shut and up and let the democrats come up with a plan.  The pubs keep throwing themselves out there with plan after plan an ...

Some of you so disliked the party’s presidential candidate that you threatened – and perhaps really did – vote for the opposition. Others chose to remain silent and distanced yourself predicting there would be a cata ...

Obama won he last election with 11 percentage points higher than Romney of the women's vote. Why, then, do we accept the fact that his administration paid the women on his payroll less than his male employees last year? The median 2012 salary for female employees of the White House was $62,000; for men that number was $71,000.

I would ask all my supporters to tell any pollster who calls that they support Hillary Clinton. One of two things would probably happen: 1. Pollsters fall for it and get the election wildly wrong. 2. Pollsters don't fall for it and can't make any predictions. Either way, it would be the end of the disgusting, crooked polling business that seems to be more trying to influence opinion than objectively reporting it, and we'd all be much better off without them. ...
