Because the gables are sooooo extraordinary.
Actually Kennesaw Mountain was a Confederate victory.
How things are done nowadays: it passed, so now we can see what’s in it. 662 pages.
Another Federal land grab.
The Senate just passed the decade’s biggest public lands package. Here’s what’s in it
What’s in it? Another screwing for the American public.
Interesting that no on has heard of this until it was passed.
The government obviously working hard for themselves.
Bastards all!
how much will this cost? Didn’t see a price tag in the article.
Probably 100k down on the list of things Congress needs to fix.
More Kabuki Theater from the Uniparty Clowns
I wish I knew my Civil War better. And after looking it up, a much bigger battle than that “decisive” union victory in Kentucky. They must be running out of yankee victories to commemorate.

The largest public lands bill considered by Congress in a decade, combines more than 100 separate bills that designate more than 350 miles of river as wild and scenic, add 2,600 miles of new federal trails and create nearly 700,000 acres of new recreation and conservation areas.
The bill also withdraws 370,000 acres in Montana and Washington state from mineral development.

Why not just grab it all? Protect Gaea from us foul, rootin' tootin' pollutin' parasites? Then the AOC upgrader squads can storm in and save the planet, house by house, without interference or distractions about pesky property rights.
92 to 8...to 1. What are the chances?
“The 662-page measure”
plus 4 pages of demonic laughter.
we will see.
Mexican Supremacist in charge of American public lands...sounds like a plan. I bet if we look at the other Chairman now appointed, they will be equally as EVIL.
Weird huh?

“The catch is that the bill from the link above hands over 2.9 million acres of wildlife habitat to big oil for fracking in the same states where they just “protected” 1.3 million acres.”
If Mike Lee opposed it and Romney was for it, I would have to dig more about the long term motives of the deep state.
