I ranch in the hotbed of land desired by renewable Utility LLCs. Since 2021, I have been under constant threat from solar utility corporations who have tried to outbid and evict my livestock from an AZ land lease. The lease has been in my family since territorial times. These…
The hypocrisy of the Federal Government explained by #Arizona rancher @caseymurph1 with a glimpse of Monday Trent on the Loos
The tragedy at Grand Canyon North Rim boils down to the NPS hubris we are all familiar with by now. A fire was started in highly overgrown ponderosa and pinion/juniper, during the hottest and driest time of year and after a dry winter. The fire was allowed to burn as a…
"If this were an act of God, we would think it tragic. Instead, it turns out to be National Park Service hubris, a case of potential criminal negligence by officials who believed that playing with fire in fire season was a good idea." azcentral.com/story/opinion/…

I have an ex wife who is a bigshot range conservationist in the USDA (NRCS). I wonder what she thinks about this? I am not going to ask her though. I don't want to invite any rants about how I tend to vote.

@americaunwon updates us on the situation with the 175 year old generational farm in New Jersey. The state is moving ahead with plans to seize the farm for a housing development. Outrageous, especially when we consider that abandoned buildings are everywhere across New Jersey.

Important Context to this Video: This is from the bio of the person speaking (from ReWilding Earth): “Glenn Parton is a former student and friend of Herbert Marcuse…” Herbert Marcuse is the father of the modern far-left neo-marxist movement and a critical marxist theorist.
July 19, 2025 At a Colorado Parks & Wildlife Commission meeting, commissioner Glenn Parton proposed that the state or federal government could buy out remote ranches even via eminent domain to reduce wolf–livestock conflicts.

Arizona, We Need to Talk. We just ranked 48th in education. In Tolleson, the highest-paid teacher in the state, sky-high salaries, and a $491,000 superintendent haven’t moved the needle—only 22% of kids are proficient in math. But instead of fixing the system, they’re blaming…

Solar and wind are great for small applications. They're not meant to prop up the grid, they are a substitute for it. Big Energy didn't want us independent, so they appropriated and perverted it.

In the rugged Texas Panhandle of the 1800s, Mary Ann “Molly” Goodnight lived a life that defied every frontier cliché. She wasn’t a gunslinger. She didn’t ride in posses or chase outlaws. But she changed the West forever—armed only with resilience, compassion, and an iron will.…
