The last 24, the extention of the 3, locking up that much water and land, without a damn good reason
Damn boi.......

You sound more and more like Sarah Palin

"All of them" is your best response?

and you're sounding more and more like Clarabelle.

Make a lot of noise, but not say a damn thing.
Thanks Buffalo Bob...

But even Howdie Doodie knew enough to value our national treasures

No problem with that.

I have a problem with a single man, deciding on a whim, to increase the "National Treasures" list to the extent Obama did.

A few more Obamas, and there won't be any personal property left in this country
What a drama queen....

<sob>. ...any more Obama's and there won't be any more land left

Love the way you misquoted me.

Do it on purpose, or do you have short term memory loss?

Care to provide your real quote drama queen?

Maybe you can point out "personal property" that was confiscated from orphans and little old ladies

Can you name some monuments where personal property was confiscated without compensation?

Why do you persist in your dishonesty? Not a single acre, not a single square foot of private or personal property has been used to change publicly owned and maintained property into the protective category of National Monument. National Monument is a designation given to public property. They are lands that have never been privately owned or owned by individual states.
 
Obama's land grabs are concerning, however I also don't like Trumps stand on eminent domain. So I find neither very comforting when it comes to the government deciding who gets what land and why.

Why do you call changing the designation of already owned public lands as a land grab? Who do you think the land is being grabbed from?

Why did it need to be changed if it was already public land? It seems a bureaucratic move to me.
 
No land has been seized. This is a bullsyte thread if ever there was one. All the lands the OP is alleging to have been seized were already public lands owned by the citizens of the US via the US Government. The use and designation of the lands were changed to save them from exploitation and destruction.
Trump told another one of his lies when he called designating already US owned public lands as monuments a "land grab".
The federal government will never know what's best for the people, you do realize the federal government and the American people are not one in the same. You shiteating dip shit. Lol

How is reserving the people's land for the people a land grab?

Trumpflakes normally make no sense, but here they're acting even crazier than they usually do. Preventing private companies from grabbing public land is the direct opposite of a land grab.
The federal government is the enemy of the people when it comes to land… Fact
 
GOOD OBAMA STORY..

yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn


but Trumps POTUS now .. well. he has the title anyway.
And reversing the dictator behavior of barry. :dance:

The Constitution is there for the people to control the federal government when It gets out of hand. Obviously the federal government is always mis-behaving.
 
Congressman Paul Gosar - Antiquities Act Executive Order: An Opportunity to End a Monumental Abuse of Government Power

Over the last 20 years, presidents from both sides of the aisle have used the stroke of a pen to lock up hundreds of millions of acres using the Antiquities Act, but none more egregiously than President Obama. In 2014, then-President Obama said, “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone. And that’s all I need.” This braggadocious one-liner was the basis for devastating monument designations by the Obama administration. President Trump’s recent Executive Order directs Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke to review national monuments created by the Antiquities Act since 1996 that exceed 100,000 acres and to coordinate with local stakeholders. These communities that were shut up and shut out of the charade of discussions surrounding national monument designations deserve a voice.

Over the past century, presidents have utilized the Act a total of 233 times to designate roughly 840 million acres of land and water as national monuments. This staggering figure is in addition to a massive federal estate that now exceeds 635 million acres. President Obama’s unprecedented abuse of the Act locked-up an astonishing 553,599,880 acres, or 66% of all land and water designated as a national monument under this century old law. No one in their right mind could possibly believe that 553 million acres is the “smallest area compatible” for these new monuments.

Gosser is rep for a big western state, Arizona. He is also one to the fools who boycotted the Pope because of the Popes position on climate change. He is a pro-extraction industry politician looking for kickbacks for supporting the exploitation of American resources. It pays good money in campaign contributions.
The pope don't know shit, he lives in his little country that's isolated from the rest of the world.
 
"Supreme Court Told EPA to Go to Hell"


The judge lies, saying the case is being sent back to a jury of landowners and wrongly predicts an outcome. All this ruling did was confirm that the property owners had a right to appeal and due process. It was sent back to the original court. No house has been built on the property and the case is still in the same basic status as it was ten years ago. In other words, after the winning ruling by the SCOTUS and the implementation of the due process, the original ruling by the EPA is still in force.

And still, this case has nothing to do with National Monuments.

Again, the federal government and the people are not one in the same. Socialism has made sure of that…

Public lands such as BLM lands by law are available for commercial interest such as mining and grazing. Each land designation allows for various uses and commercial interests are able to demand and acquire rights to the public lands that degrade them for other future uses. Protection of those lands requires huge expenses in legal fees by the government as they challenge the commercial interest who pack the halls of Congress with lobbyists. Because the lobbyist and commercial interest will often win despite the efforts of the government to protect the lands, the Congress decided over 110 years ago to give the Executive Branch an option to bypassing the lobbyist and commercial interest by simply taking sections of threatened land off the table for exploitation,
 
What Is the Antiquities Act and Why Does President Trump Want to Change It?


“It’s time to end these abuses and return control to the people, the people of Utah, the people of all of the states, the people of the United States,” the president said..

Another lie to misguide the public. The lands in question in Utah were never under the control of the state of Utah. The lands have always been under the complete ownership, maintenance and protection of the federal government
You are ok with 1 MAN having the ability to designate land as Monuments.........Which part of 1 man declaring this much land as monuments don't you understand.

I stand by that NO 1 MAN SHOULD HAVE THIS POWER. PERIOD. And that the 1906 law needs to be SHREDDED.
You should be able to promote your political ideas on this topic without relying on lies and misinformation. Designating lands as National Monuments rescues them from exploitation from extraction industries and preserves them for future generations to enjoy as natural wonders and non-invasive uses that give long term uses to the public instead of short term profits and permission to destroy the long term benefits to short term profits for a select few.
BS. That is a matter of opinion and I restate that 1 MAN SHOULD NOT HAVE THAT POWER. PERIOD.

If these designations are worth their salt then having these designated as monuments should easily be RATIFIED by the Senate and the House.

If they are not............then they shouldn't be designated.

I would disagree with that. Unfortunately I don't trust Republicans. It ought to be named the US Chamber of Commerce Party. They have sided with big business every time at the expense of ordinary Americans. Even in my state, Republicans overrode the Governor's veto to raise gasoline taxes while allowing a corrupt state legislature to siphon off the current money as their little political slush fund.

If the Republicans want to overturn it then pass a bill. They have the power of the purse.

Yes it has, your just too much of a sheep to see the obvious.
Name one acre of private land that has been seized by the federal government to create a National Monument. One example, one acre. You can not because the premise and claim of the thread is a lie.


This is what happens , Let say you own a mom and pop shop on the corner of a main street in the city of whereever.........................

Ok so a college is two blocks down , one day the college decides it wants that corner where the mom and pop shop sit ( they own it, it's their property, their piece of land ).

The college takes it court saying why they want and why they have a right to it , the College wins , mom and pop shop are forced out. I believe it's called Eminent Domain...... there are dozens of loop holes that allow big wig companies to take your home, the land you live on .
Eminent Domain has never been used to acquire National Monument Land. That is why you have to evade the original challenge to provide evidence of even one single acre of private property being seized for a National Monument.
Lands used for National Monuments are already the exclusive ownership of the federal government that are designated as public lands. Public land designations determine the uses of specific lands. Each designation has its own rules, regulations, and priorities for specific uses.

National Monument is a designation that has preservation and protection as a specific priority and use. Unlike other designations such as National Park, National Forest, Bureau of Land Management, etc., the National Monument designation does not require a great deal of expense to maintain and operate. Simple preservation through enforcement and minimal maintenance are legally and technically all that is required. Expanding uses for tourism can be added or maintained and is done so with input from local residents and businesses. Current tourist attractions can be maintained. For example, a road or path leading a scenic view or other tourist attraction or attractions can be invested in by the government to help support local businesses in the area.
Everything the federal government does is self-serving… The American people rarely have a say if ever.
