To understand this, search for terms Mochtar Riady, Grand Escalante, Sweet Coal, Clinton, Sulphur. Clinton made the coal reserves off limits by federalizing the land, thus handing his donor buddy Mochtar Riady a world monopoly on so-called “sweet coal” aka low-sulphur. At the time, there were three known locations where this type of coal was available, an inaccessible area in mountains of Columbia, What is now Grand Escalante Monument, and Indonesia - under the control of Riady’s Lippo group. That action really upset the State government of Utah that had educational endowments tied up in the value of those coal reserves. I guarentee this is a poke in the eye of Clinton.

People who live in the east mostly have no idea of all the land controlled by the feds in the west.

So..is this a first step in unlocking all that low sulpher "clean" coal....?

Maybe a part of the Trump Energy Policy.

The Norks and the Ruskies sure do have some Big Hats.

They must think they’re from Texas or something.

There are already several national monuments inside the giant area that Obama declared. Those should be adequate with one or two more small ones where there are actual artifacts. The whole point is to do it legally which means protecting antiquities that actually exist.

Bears Ears should be renamed “Jug Ears” so obozo the jug eared assclown can have one thing to be remembered for.

I have to practice my Photoshop and try to put a Bud in his hand. Dilly Dllly.

I never did care for those Bud commercials especially the ones where people were stealing from the Bud truck (oil change rack) but they really did good on the Dilly Dilly commercials; and now we know what the Pit of Misery looks like. LOL

there is no upkeep, probably no rangers. We are talking about large undeveloped stretches of open desert, nothing to be maintained.

Still land the State should own instead of the Feds - remember how Obama had them put barriers up to prevent people from viewing Mt. Rushmore???? Funny how they manage to spend money on them "no upkeep/maintenance" "monuments"...

You can bet there are federal and state costs to maintain it.
