Volcanic spires and Joshua trees: Obama protects 1.8 million acres in California's desert

President Obama designated three new national monuments in the California desert Thursday, expanding federal protection to 1.8 million acres of landscapes that have retained their natural beauty despite decades of heavy mining, cattle ranching and off-roading.

The designation was requested by U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who for a decade has sought to protect land that wasn't included in the 1994 California Desert Protection Act. That measure covered nearly 7.6 million acres, elevated Death Valley and Joshua Tree to national park status and created the Mojave National Preserve.

Unable to gain momentum on her California Desert Conservation and Recreation Act last year, Feinstein and conservation groups asked Obama to act unilaterally to create the three monuments overlapping biological zones between roughly Palm Springs and the Nevada border. .....

The Terrifying Details Of The FBI’s Standoff With Cliven Bundy’s Militia
by Emily Atkin Feb 11, 2016 4:02 pm

Wednesday was a busy day for people who threaten violence against federal officials over public lands. As law enforcement officers surrounded the remaining occupiers at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, the man who started it all — Cliven Bundy — was arrested in Portland.

Now, Cliven Bundy didn’t physically start the now-infamous takeover of the Malheur refuge by an armed militia — that was his son, Ammon. But he did inspire the movement that led to the occupation. Bundy did that by forming a militia of his own — a much bigger, scarier militia that engaged in a stand-off with federal officials in 2014 ............

2. "Non-violent offenders"???????

Does that asshole mean other than the fact that these idiots were armed with lots of guns which they flagrantly displayed and that they talked incessantly about armed confrontation with federal authorities on social media? Does the douche bag lawyer mean other than that?

BTW, Mr. Douche Lawyer, in no way can that be characterized as non-violent.

But good luck with that argument before the judge or jury, Mr. Douche Lawyer. I am sure they will be receptive. In fact, I recommend that you go with that defense, so we can be more sure that your clients receive their justly deserved maximum penalty.

Roll those dice, Mr. Douche Lawyer.

I confess that I could only take so much of the clip. No, I did not get to Fiore, if she spoke. I probably would have flushed my iPhone down the toilet if I had.


Oh, BTW. R&K

Good work, L. Coyote!

and obviously the legal team has been busy rewriting history and rewording the script, basically trying to spin their way out of their self-incriminatory catch 22. It only takes a few seconds to see they are lying and to give it an unlike. Quite the gaggle of Palin/Bachmann wannabes!

This new lawmaker is a law breaker

... Despite spending almost nothing on his campaign, and having an active warrant for his arrest at the Las Vegas City Marshal’s Office for traffic offenses, Moore surfed a Republican wave Nov. 4 and narrowly defeated extremely well-funded incumbent Democrat Jason Frierson.

In fact, it appears the $792 warrant after pleading no contest for having no proof of insurance is only slightly less than Moore raised during his campaign.

Although it’s not the first time he has made the police blotter, Moore’s legal entanglement is no major scandal ... he’ll show he’s in over his head like most of his fellow freshman legislators. ....


Who is really behind the right wing attacks on #publicland?
