Biden, Bison & Big Brother
Biden’s
flood
President Biden and his crew recently toured
flood-ravaged Kentucky and used the occasion to push their climate change
agenda. The President’s spokesman said, “The floods in Kentucky and extreme
weather all around the country are yet another reminder of the intensifying and
accelerating impact of climate change…”
It occurred to me that if this was indeed something
unique or unprecedented in Kentucky, then perhaps it could be blamed on the
environment. However, if you look up the history of flooding in Kentucky you
will find something quite different.
In 1927, a Kentucky newspaper reported a massive flood
that killed 16 people “Homes are destroyed, livestock and poultry
drowned, and whole farms practically ruined,” the story said. “The fury of the
flood far exceeded anything that has ever hit this area in its history.”
In January-February of 1937 there was flooding on the Ohio
River with Louisville being 70 percent covered by water, forcing 175,000
persons from their homes. Governor Keen Johnson said, “The worst catastrophe in
the history of Kentucky has fallen upon our people in the valleys of the rivers
and streams of Kentucky and the Ohio River.”
In a 1939 flooding incident, A USGS report said in one
creek the water rose 20 feet in 10 minutes. Residents said it was “a 15-foot
wall of water crashing down the valley.”
And so it goes throughout Kentucky history.
It appears to be quite a stretch to assert a direct link
between temperatures and the most recent flooding incident. A stretch the
enviros and Biden are willing to take in order to get their programs approved
and funded.
Bison
preserve
Over
250,000 acres have been purchased by an outfit named American Prairie to
establish a Bison Preserve in Montana. Their goal is to acquire 3.2 million
acres. If completed, the preserve will be “be roughly the size of Connecticut and 25%
larger than Yellowstone.”
The leader of a local
property rights group, United Property Owners of Montana, says the wealthy
donors to the project are only interested in having a tax-deductible
donation and don’t care about production agriculture.
Well, that’s in
Montana so it doesn’t affect me you say You may believe you are not a target.
If so, listen to Pete Geddes with American Prairie. When asked why they chose
this area for the project, he said because there was a declining population and
“perhaps there’s greater potential for less
conflict over conservation in this part of the world.”
If you live in a rural area with a declining population,
then you may at some time become a target. And this is the official policy of
our government, The predator is subsidized in pursuing its prey.
Also note this admits there is a conflict between people and
conservation. Yet when the feds acquire lands, they claim to do so to allow
public access to the area, when in fact they do just the opposite. They
exclude people. all in the name of conservation.
Recall that American Prairie is the same outfit that filed for a permit
to graze bison on BLM land. Montana’s Attorney General says this would be
illegal [FD1] “This is
federal land that is specifically — by the Taylor Grazing Act, by federal law —
set aside for livestock grazing. Bison are not livestock, even under federal
law."
Apparently, that was of no interest
to the BLM who have just issued a permit to American Prairie to graze bison on
over 60,000 acres of federal land.
Let me close by saying thank you for
the well wishes received while I’ve gone through a series of health issues. And
a special thanks to Chris Allison and Joe Delk for their timely help.
Until next time, be a nuisance to the devil and don’t forget to check that cinch.
