Particularly if thy deny it. The more vigorous the denial, the more believable it is.

” on a case brought by two squatters, each seeking to adjust boundary lines for their respective properties. The BLM was not a party to any litigation between squatters. The 140-acres were at no time held in private ownership”

That was my best guess anyway. Who knows what these people have in their skulls.

.....”Nothing the BLM says can be believed”....

Denial is the watch word for ‘this entire administration’. In other words if people don’t like it, just deny it happened.

They really believe that is no such thing as truth. Everything is just a matter of perception.

This 140 acres is different from the current potential to take some 90,000 acres.
The Tommy Henderson case was back in the 1980s and is being used by the BLM to claim
an additional 90,000 acres. How this will all play out is yet to be determined.

snip
Tommy Henderson lost a lawsuit thirty years ago and with it 140 acres of his ranchland. The BLM victory resulted in the Oklahoma/Texas border being redrawn a mile to the south of where it had previously been.

The BLM has been around since the mid 1940s under the Department of the Interior. They're not new.

No, but they are passe.

That’s pretty much bleeped up. If he purchased title insurance, and an FHA loan would have required it, then it looks like time for the insurance to pay up. OR for BLM to pack up and go home. If there is a title insurance claim then the fight would be over which feral agency pays it?

What they replied to is not what I understood to be the argument or premise. I was hearing about more like 190,000 acres of land. Not 140.

Liberal combat, change the argument. Deny that you know what the other party is even talking about. Answer a different question than was asked.

My wife does that and it drives me insane. It is dishonest and deceitful at best.

I was looking around for more information on how the feds "manage" these public lands. I recalled that in 2011, there was a huge wildfire in eastern Arizona that destroyed over 500,000 acres of mostly alpine forest. Most of that land was in the Apache National Forest. But I remembered that it seemed odd that the wildfire came to a halt at the boundary of the indian reservation. And then I found this: Experts: Managing tribal forest helped stop Wallow Fire at reservation.

The feds should never be allowed to manage land or wildlife, in my opinion. They do nothing but destroy. The same thing happened in California in 2003, and many other states where wildfires have destroyed the forests these agencies are supposedly managing.

A quote from the above link:
Touring the area, Jonathan Brooks, tribal forest manager for the White Mountain Apache Tribe, said forest-management strategies unhindered by environmental litigation and drawn-out federal government processes helped check the wildfire here. For decades, the tribe has cleared young trees, logged larger trees and burned underbrush to replicate the natural burn-and-growth cycle of the Ponderosa pine forest. Brooks said that made it easy for firefighters to create a backfire here to deprive the approaching Wallow Fire of fuel. “Had this area not been thinned, logged, prescribe-burned, we wouldn’t have been able to do a burnout operation here – so the fire would’ve been able to come through here unchecked,” he said.

“denied any expansion of holdings along the Red River”

Interpret this how you will, but every word needs explained.

Maybe the ‘holdings’ are entirely new and seen from the land instead.

Nevada was a bit of a drive. North Texas though? No problem.
